Chapter 2:
Sometimes Angels Cry Too
Flashback/Dream
Kagome was on the steps of the Inu Generals Mansion. Thelma and Akalo, the gardeners, were watering the large flower bed. Kagome ran to them, giving each gardener a hug.
“These flowers must be a handful, are they not?” she inquired
“Nothing a darling such as yourself should worry about…” started Thelma
“It is spring anyway Kagome, flowers aren't that hard to care for if you're fond of them…” Thelma finished with a smile
“I agree, I will see you'll later then?”
“As it is accustomed” said Akalo with a smile as she bounced away, back to the doors of the mansion.
She approaches the door and knocks twice. Behind closed doors, she can hear brothers running to get the door. A big thud is heard and Sesshomaru answers the door with a smirk no one else was granted to see.
“Hey koi” he says and gives her a hug.
“You smell good” he whispers in her ear and licks the outer shell of it.
She looks over his shoulder and sees a young Inuyasha crying at the bottom of the staircase, on the floor.
“How could you?” she asks and goes to hold Inuyasha in her arms
“Are you okay?”
“He's mean to me”
“Are you okay?”
“Hai, my lips bleeding”
“Oh my, let's go show Dari”
“No, Kagome, you stay, let that stupid hanyou fend for himself” said Sesshomaru with a cold venom to his voice
“Have you gone mad, Sesshomaru? He's hurt!” she practically yelled at the soon-to-be Lord of the western Lands
“Do not be so fond of hanyou, they are a disgrace and are low ones” he said with cold, glazed eyes
Inuyasha was practically crying from his words, so little wording yet such a permanent pain.
She rose, holding Inuyasha tightly in her arms. They stood face to face and then the words she said sunk deeply into somewhere he didn't think exist, his heart.
“You remember this and remember this well, I am not yours, you do not own me, hence you do not order me around…you are arrogant, cold, and you will be a disgrace to whomever is willing to call you her mate because you have no concern for anyone other than yourself…I thought I knew you but I was wrong, you have no heart and you disgust me.” She said venomously and walked past him.
Sesshomaru's head hung low for a minute then he marched upstairs, his hands unclenching and clenching into fearsome fist. Claws extended, he got to his room and slammed the door.
“Uh-oh, big bwother is mad now” said Inuyasha in his cutesy little boy voice.
Kagome took Inuyasha to Dari; she greeted them with a smile.
“Oh, Sesshomaru did this, eh?”
“How'd you know?”
“Great sense of smell, and there's only one person willing to hit little Inu and that'll be big ice king, gotta stay away from him”
“Inuyasha…stay here with Dari while I go do something, stay away from your brother's room till I come back, okay?”
“Hai”
Kagome took a deep breath and walked upstairs. She got to his door at the end of the hall and opened the door slightly. He was throwing stuff around, tears of anger in his eyes.
His eyes are red and bloody and he's barring his fangs. He catches sight of her and pins her to the wall at demon speed. He closes the door and locks it; Kagome gulps hard, his breath increases to raged breaths.
“Sesshomaru please let me go”
“No, you want to be a fucking whore; you can be one right now”
“Sesshomaru, Inuyasha is just a child…”
“Silence” he snapped and threw her on the bed, he shacked out of his clothing and Kagome closed her eyes.
Tears were seeping out Kagome beautiful eyes. Pain, pure pain sinking deep in her heart. She feels her kimono being roughly taken off. She feels him pounding into her small form, no gentleness or love in his actions, just pure animalistic need and anger. She feels his claws digging into her hips, a sore pain in her stretched legs. His peak is felt between her limbs, a sticky hot substance. She feels his weight being lifted off of her and her body is awfully sore. She hears clothes covering a body and a door slams. She slowly pulls her legs to her chest, careful to not invoke any pain or shock, she cries and cries her little heart out.
“Sesshomaru” she whispers but no one replies. She's all alone
End of Flashback/Dream
“Kagome!” someone screams and she snaps her eyes open, comes back to reality.
“Ky-Kykio?”
“Yes, are you okay dear? You were screaming and crying…”
“Yes, just a dream…a very bad dream” she said and Kykio gave her a reassuring hug.
“I bet a life with Naraku was real horrid but if it helps, I've had a miserable life too and all came out well.” She said with a smile
“Yes, a bad dream” for some reason she was in a fore longed shock. She drew her knees to her chest and cried, pain filled sobs bringing other attention.
“What's wrong with you?” asked Inuyasha, obviously concerned but acting as it was just annoying him.
“This may shock you Inuyasha but sometimes, angels cry too…just let her cry.” Said Kykio with a smile and shooed everyone out the hut, leading them to one next door.
Kagome closed her eyes once more. Sometimes their memories together were inviting but at times, they were just altogether frightening. Thinking not much of it, she looked out the window, late afternoon, had she really sleep all night and nearly all day? Oh well, sleep was needed and welcomed.

“Sesshomaru-sama, Sesshomaru-sama! Rin got flowers for you” Rin yelled while running to her lords chambers
“Rin, stop running! Remember Lord Sesshomaru said don't disturb him…please come back!” pleaded a young caretaker, following Rin.
“Rin knows but it's important”
As soon as Rin saw white she ran and hugged on the person's leg. Instead of the usual pat, she got a hard push that knocked her to the ground ungracefully. She looked up.
`Oh no!' she thought.
Erina looked furious; her long silver hair was held in a loose ponytail. She was wearing the Lord's white hakamas and some kind of unusual top. Her powerful pink eyes almost stared holes in the little girl.
“Akalo, what did your Lord order you?” she asked trying to intimidate the young caretaker
“To care for Rin, my lady”
“And?”
“To keep her from disturbing further for the night”
“You are a clever girl Akalo but I recommend you associate your cleverness with your actions, do you know what your lord does with disobedient slaves?”
“Yes, my lady”
“You remember this and remember this clearly, his and my orders are not suggestions they are commands, fail to carry them out and you shall see yourself in a lower state of reasoning, you hear?”
“Yes, my lady”
“Don't mistake me for a playmate, you dirty human, I don't play games and you will fair best to remember that” she said, trying to intimidate Rin with her gaze.
“Lady Erina, please understand, she was…” tried Akalo
“I don't care what she was doing! Don't forget your place” she was now throwing a death glare at Akalo.
“You stay away from me, my children, and my mate, because if you don't…I'll make sure I strangle you myself.”
Erina sensed Sesshomaru around the corner and changed her attitude immediately.
“Okay, my sweet daughter?” Erina asked with a fake smile
Rin turned her face arrogantly and began walking away. Sesshomaru saw this and was taken back by Rin's disrespectful actions.
“Rin that is disrespect toward your new mother!” said Sesshomaru
“She's a lying wench; I can't stand the b-agggr”
“Rin go to your room, you may not come out until I send for you, you understand?”
Rin sighed and walked away, grumbling some words no one could make out. Akalo walked behind little Rin, going to her rooms also.
“I don't understand why she doesn't like me; I do everything in my power to give her love…” Erina cried fake tears and nuzzled her head into Sesshomaru's chest.
“I think Rin needs to be with her kind now” he said watching the fading figure of Rin and Akalo
Erina smirked into his chest, she had accomplished it, soon she would have everyone begging on their knees for her not to cast them aside and Sesshomaru would enjoy torturing dirty humans again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jaken turned away from the sight that had just taken place. He knew Erina's true intentions, Erina's true colors as some said. His life had become miserable as Kagome left. She was the only person so far that ever kept Sesshomaru on his toes for years. He never lost interest, love, nor suffocated in boredom.
Although his lord always said she was beginning to become a distraction to important matters, she had always showed him a world outside the royal business. She made him happy and she made him laugh, smile, cry, anger…she had made him cry several times for her, after she left that is. She had made him regret his actions; even Rin could not do that. Sesshomaru became depressed and unhappy.
For years, Sesshomaru denied his love for her; he denied ever wanting her for more than `entertainment', he even denied his friendship towards her. He would wait for her to come and apologize. He being the prideful lord always said he could never stoop so low as to apologize to a low one but Jaken knew he had did it on many occasions.
He then finally knew, he had not apologized because he feared her reaction, her rejection, he feared she would deny ever loving him again like she use to.
Sometimes even Jaken could not pull himself to believe his lord would ever fear rejection. Every woman human or demon would beg to even be in the position he himself was. Everyone feared his lord, everyone gave him what, no more like he had what he wanted and if he needed more, he would obtain it easily also. Then he knew, Kagome had really loved his lord. She liked him for sincere reasons…not sex not money not because of his extreme gorgeousness. Jaken really respected her for that, in fact she was the only thing other than Sesshomaru that he respected genuinely.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru entered his study, rather upset and rather annoyed.
He planted himself in his chair and read through scrolls, angrily, fuming, upset, depressed, like hell he didn't even know how he felt. But what…this Sesshomaru has not emotions.
A light knock came to the door and he looked up. His arms trembled lightly and he took a deep breath, settling himself.
“Come in”
“Please excuse me, my lord; I have a message from her”
He straightened in his chair, a hint of hope in his eyes.
“Proceed Torin”
“This message comes from your mate, sire”
“Oh” he said and sank low in his chair.
He dropped the scroll on his desk and laughed.
“What is it that you find amusing?”
“Pardon my manners, sire but I have known you long enough and we have been friends for a long time…if I didn't know any better, I'd say you forgot about Kagome…” he started
The name, it stung his heart so unexpectedly. He loved her and she just cast him aside. Even he himself would not have shunned away her love. The name, that name had not been spoken to him in such a long time.
“But, I'm smarter than that, you miss her don't you?”
“She was there, she left, and I cannot forget” he confessed
“We demons don't forget but its not that Sesshomaru, you don't want to forget”
“I want to, I can't, and her once was presence haunts me, everywhere we made love, my chambers, the…”
“I get the point; I didn't want to know that…”
“It's haunts me, I remember, I remember how she showed me the world….she gave me her love, her hope, her happiness….she forgave me, she pretended to forget…but I don't know where I made a mistake, I failed her someway, somehow and she punished me, she left and never came back.” He said, a sad expression clouding his eyes.
“Women are venomous, they look like flowers but when we reach for them, they turn into bad garden spiders, and then they bite the jibbers out of you, ya know?” he said but Sesshomaru did not pay attention.
He had zoomed out into his own world, when he concentrated really hard he could remember the smell of her hair, the feel of her skin, the feel of her lips on his. That's what he wanted to feel. His friend kept talking but he was paying no attention, he wanted to remember her. Sometimes he forgot but this time, he remembered that he missed her, how he missed her.
`Please come back to me Kagome' he pleaded silently and a lonesome tear ran down his cheek.

“Kagome, would you mind if we asked you some more questions?” asked Sango
“No, not at all, go ahead”
“Okay…before your mom died, how was your life?”
“My parents argued a lot, you see my mother was a strong soled woman, she always believed that men and women should be treated alike and she did not like to be ordered around…I had to cope with that for a while until my 15th year of existence. Then, Lord Inutaisho, Inuyasha's father had come to ally and speak with my father. We met and he asked my father if I could caretaker for his child, my father agreed so I was usually at their residence.”
“I see, why did you leave?” asked Miroku
Kagome bit her lip lightly and nervously started to answer the question.
“Sesshomaru and I became close during those times and it was not right, so I left” she hoped that that would answer their question but how wrong she was.
Miroku smirked slightly, a perverted feature for his kind.
“What do you mean by close?”
“He was a love interest…”
“Let me get this straight, you were Sesshomaru's lover so you thought that by liking a demon you would grave in following your mothers footsteps so you left?” asked Sango
“Yes, I did”
“That means you slept with my brother?” asked Inuyasha a bit surprised, a bit disgusted
“I thought you knew, Inuyasha”
“How am I supposed to know you'll…coupled? I was just a pup, remember?”
“Remember when you came to my room because you were hearing strange noises and Sesshomaru answered the door? What did Sesshomaru tell you?”
“He told me that you'll were pillow fighting or something like that…don't tell me you'll were…Gah! I slept in that bed with you that morning…”
“Well, I see some aren't as innocent as we seem are we?” said Miroku with a hint of playfulness in his voice
“Anyway, I believe we are close to the Western Lands…would you like to pay your lover a visit?”
“I think he's forgotten about me…I doubt he'll ever forgive me”
“Forgive you?”
“For breaking his heart…”
