InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Cry ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

ENJOY!

Chapter: 7 ^_^

Kagome's head throbbed. She felt like there were thousands upon thousands of little people jabbing the inside of her head with sticks. She rolled over and landed on the floor with a painful thump. Kagome groaned and got to her feet. She was still dressed in the kimono she wore the night before to dinner. `Last night. . . what happened last night. . . I don't remember.' Kagome said massaging her aching head with her hands. Kagome stumbled about and slumped down in one of the big green velvet chairs.

"I feel like crap. . ." Kagome grumbled to herself. The door opened behind her with a squeak and Kagome turned to see Rienzi peeking her head around the door.

"Milady it is good to see you have awakened." Rienzi said smiling, she nudged the door open and Kagome saw that Rienzi was carrying a silver platter on which looked to be tea and cups. Kagome smiled weakly, still massaging her temple with her hand.

"I thought I told you not to call me that." Kagome grumbled as Rienzi set the platter down on the small table. Rienzi merely nodded and gave her a small smile.

"As you wish milady." She said, pouring tea into one of the cups. She handed it to Kagome who took it thankfully.

"Thanks." Kagome murmured through closed eyes, she blew on the tea lightly before taking a sip. . . which she nearly spit out.

"Gak! What is this stuff?" Kagome cried scrunching her nose up at the disgusting tea. It tasted like dirt and herbs, and Kagome didn't like it.

"Drink it mil- Kagome, it will ease your headache." Rienzi said patiently, pushing the cup back towards Kagome's lips.

"How did you know I have a headache. . ." Kagome groaned as she swallowed the distasteful liquid.

"Well milady, you had a lot of ale last night. . ." Rienzi said quietly, trying to hide a smile.

Kagome nearly choked on the tea. "I what!" she yelled, her cheeks turning pink.

Rienzi smiled, "did you not know you were drinking ale last night milady, you had more than three goblets full. . ." Rienzi said concern in her eyes.

"Kagome stared at her in shock, `Oh dear god, I was drunk. . .' she thought repeatedly as she stared at Rienzi with a look of utter shock on her face.

"Do you remember anything from last night?' Rienzi asked a twinkle in her eyes.

"N-No I don't." Kagome stuttered. All of last night was a blur to her, she remembered eating and then after. . . nothing.

Rienzi smiled, Kagome looked at her a little annoyed, her smile was staring to get on her nerves.

"I believe Lord Kouga escorted you to your chambers last night." Rienzi said her eys twinkling mischievously. Apparently nothing goes on in the castle without the servants knowing it. Kagome's eyes bulged.

"He what!" she shouted, her face getting even pinker from embarrassment. She was mortified, she and Kouga didn't., couldn't possibly, did they?

Rienzi smiled sympathetically. "Do not worry milady nothing… happened last night, for the most part." Rienzi whispered the last part. Kagome stared at her.

"What do you mean for the most part?" She prodded. Rienzi simply shook her head and made a gesture that Kagome should finish her tea. Kagome frowned but obliged and gulped the rest of the stuff down.

"Lord Sesshoumaru would like to speak to you in the library, I will bring you there as soon as we get you. . . cleaned up." Rienzi said gathering the tray and cups. Kagome nodded and watched Rienzi leave the room. She rubbed her temples only to find that the ache in her head was gone. `Wow, that stuff works fast.' Kagome mused as she tried to remember the events that took place the night before. Flashes of scenes came before her eyes, Sesshoumaru, the meeting . . . nothing important. Kagome let out a sigh and got to her feet as Rienzi entered the room again.

"Shall we get you ready?" Rienzi asked motioning to the mirror and the new kimono that lay on her bed, Kagome hadn't even noticed it. Kagome nodded. `Here we go again.' She thought bleakly before settling down in front of the mirror.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

Kagome sat patiently in Sesshoumaru's library waiting. He had not arrived yet and she had already been there for at least ten minutes. She wore her long black hair down today, she had insisted upon it, and a beautiful what and red kimono. Patterns of butterflies and flowers adorned the sleeves. She brushed a strand of her ebony hair away from her face and sighed. She was bored. Kagome could never sit still growing up, she was an active girl and did not have the patience to sit around all day. Finally she got to her feet and walked slowly to one of the many bookshelves in the room. And when I say many, I mean many. Thousands upon thousands of shelves in this one room, and the room itself was enough to take your breath away. It was HUGE!

Kagome sighed as she skimmed over the titles of the books on the shelf, they all seemed to be war books. "The battle of Brindok", "A thousand ways to kill your enemy", "Battle strategy and other methods of attack." Kagome nearly laughed when she was the last one. "War for Dummies"

"Boring, boring boring." Kagome chanted as she let a finger graze across the bindings of the books. Kagome stopped in her tracks, one particular book had caught her eye. It was a navy blue cover and gold letters trailed down the side.

"The love of a Solider." Kagome read the title out loud as she pulled the book from the shelf. As she did so she also pulled about 100 years of dust with it. Kagome coughed and backed away slowly taking the book with her. When the dust settled and Kagome could breath again she looked down at the book she held in her hand. `I wonder if this is a romance novel' Kagome thought as she skimmed through its many pages. The book smelt musty but Kagome didn't mind, she loved reading, especially on rainy days when there wasn't anything to do. Kagome smiled and flipped to the first page. As she was reading she walked back over to the comfortable chair she was sitting in before and sat down. Crossing one leg over the other. She squinted her eyes as she read the book, a small smile graced her lips as she read. `This is actually pretty interesting.' Kagomwe thought with a shrug.

"Do you always read other people's things."A cool voice said from in front of her. Kagome looked up startled into the cool golden eyes of Sesshoumaru.

"Oh, I didn't hear you come in." Kagome said, snapping the book shut. She made to stand up but Sesshoumaru motioned her to stay down.

"We have many things to discuss." he said coolly, eyeing the book that Kagome held in her hand.

"Like what." Kagome said warily, eyeing Sesshoumaru curiously.

Sesshoumaru looked at her coolly. "Many things." He said waving his hand In a sweeping motion, he seemed to be gesturing to the book Kagome held in her hand.

Kagome sighed.

"That helps a lot." She said sarcastically as she crossed her legs and folded her arms stubbornly over her chest. The book lay in her lap, the golden letters facing upward.

Sesshoumaru looked at her coolly. "For instance." He drawled "the fact that you can read, not many humans know how to read, or demons for that matter." Sesshoumaru said as he sat down opposite from her.

Kagome just shrugged. And turned her head away, not wanting to meet his cold golden eyes. How was she supposed to tell him about her world? He wouldn't understand. And why should she anyway! He kidnapped her and `HE BIT ME!' Kagome thought furiously as she turned her gaze back to Sesshoumaru.

"So?" she said impatiently tapping her foot lightly against the floor. Sesshoumaru merely looked at her.

"You are not from around here obviously." He said lowly. "Who are you and where do you come from girl?" He growled.

Kagome shrugged, `What's the harm in telling him, he probably wont believe me anyway.'

"Speak up wench."

"My name is KA-GO-ME, not girl, not human not wench!" Kagome snapped. Her anger rising. "And I won't answer any of your questions until you call me by my name."

Sesshoumaru lifted an eyebrow at the stubborn girl before him. "Kagome." He said reluctantly. Kagome smiled sweetly at Sesshoumaru and uncrossed her legs.

"Yes?" she said with false sweetness.

Sesshoumaru was shocked, this human was a strange one, so different from all the others of her kind. He HAD to know where she came from. "Where are you from gir- Kagome?" He said keeping his face impassive.

"Tokyo." Kagome answered still smiling.

Sesshoumaru blinked at her. He had never in all his years heard of such a place called "Tokyo" and was sure the girl was lying.

"I am not lying!" Kagome objected as she sat up straighter in her chair, her head held high and defiant.

Sesshoumaru blinked in shock (which did not show on his face) `Had the girl actually read his mind?' He hadn't said it out loud so that could only mean. . .

Sesshoumaru smirked as he stood up. "It seems Kouga and I have chosen well for our bonded servant." He said coolly.

Kagome jumped to her feet "What is that supposed to mean and NO I AM NOT YOUR SERVANT!" she yelled her cheeks tinted red with anger.

Sesshoumaru stared at her, his coolness cutting back her rage until she felt eerily at ease. `Weird. . .' Kagome thought as she stared up into his golden eyes.

"I want to go home. Now." Kagome whispered.

"You, Kagome, are bonded to us with ties stronger than any blood. You are a part of us and will live as long as we live, until the day we die. You have no choice in the matter, you can not leave us for if you are to far away than Kouga and I cannot communicate and the bond is temporarily broken until we are all together again. You will not leave this place, this is your home now. You belong to us." Sesshoumaru said coolly as he turned on his heel and strode away, his hair swaying as he walked away.

Kagome stood in stunned silence watching Sesshoumaru walk away. If what he said was true than she was now immortal and could not die until they did. She couldn't go home…

As Sesshoumaru reached the door he turned around his hand on the knob.

"You may keep the book." He said before leaving. The click of the door closing brought Kagome back to her senses. She fell to her knees as the tears streamed down her cheeks.

"No." she whispered burying her face in her hands. She had lost them all, her family her friends, she had no one, she would never see them again. She sat there on the cold floor of the library and wept.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

Kouga entered the library and looked around curiously. He stopped mid step when he saw her lying on the floor back pressed up against a chair. Her brown eyes looked so empty, so soulless. He could see the tear stains on her face, her eyes were red and swollen. He didn't know how long she had been there, lying on the floor.

"K-Kagome?" he asked rushing to her side. He knelt down and enveloped her small hands in his. He could feel her heart ache, her utter depression and his heart reached out to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked, gently massaging her hands with his. Kagome stared at him blankly.

"I'm stuck in a castle with lord only knows how many demons, I'm as far away from home as I've ever been in my life, I wont ever see my family or my friends again and YOUR ASKING IF I'm OK!?" Kagome yelled as she pulled her hands out of Kouga's grasp.

Kouga looked at her shocked. He was the cause of her pain and suffering, he did this to her. Guilt rose from the depths of his heart to his throat and he felt like he was choking, he couldn't breath.

Kagome buried her head in her hands and wept again her sobs echoed throughout the room.

"I'm sorry Kagome, please don't cry." Kouga said gently as he pulled her to him. Kagome didn't object, she was in too much pain to care. `Why does the bad stuff always happen to me?' Kagome thought angrily as she sobbed into Kouga's chest.

Kouga rubbed Kagome's back in soothing circles. He wanted her to stop crying, to make her forget the pain, but there was no way he could do that. It's not like he could just let her go, if he did his whole country would be lost, his future gone. `After the war, I promise you will be free.' He silently promised the girl in his arms.

Kagome stopped crying and looked up at Kouga through her teary eyes. He was looking down on her, his blue eyes shimmering with sadness. She could feel his guilt and sense his promise.

"Thank you." She whispered and buried her head in his chest. Kouga stroked the back of her head, feeling her silky hair.

And so the two sat for hours on the floor, in each others embrace.
