Where Will You Go

Sesshoumaru entered the palace to the Emperor of Japan; he was to become the new personal guard to the newest Empress, Kagome.

You're too important for anyone

Upon entering the throne room and immediately noticed the impudent man and his bride. Oh how they looked down on everyone was totally sickening. ‘Why I have decided to lower myself like this is beyond ’ he thought silently as his eyes locked with the Empress.

You play the role of all you want to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

For a brief moment he swore that he saw regret flash in her eyes. ‘Maybe she isn’t what she portrays herself as.’

“Emperor Naraku I, Sesshoumaru of the Dog Clan, have come to swear our allegiance with you and I offer my services to you as guard to your choosing.”

“Raise Dog it just so seems that we need a new guard for my lovely bride here. Be warned she has a temper and killed the last guard for being ‘incompetent’ or so she claims.” the Emperor laughed as he heard the Empress sigh in frustration.

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

“If this is going to be all you are going to talk about then I am going to retire to my chambers while you decide what you chose to do. Tell my guard whatever you wish, and you can send any messages to me by him as well.”

‘Who the hell does she think she is?’ he fumed internally.

“Careful Empress; Dogs, especially one of Sesshoumaru’s stature, will not tolerate your immaturity.” Naraku chuckled as Kagome stormed out of the throne room eager for an escape.

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

Many months of being around the Empress led Sesshoumaru to realize that who she portrayed on the throne was not who she was at all. Many a night he would listen to cry herself to sleep after her husband raped and beat her.

Oh how he wish he could step in and offer her the protection that he was suppose to be giving her but he knew that he would not only jeopardize their lives by doing so but his clan as well; that had been the reason his father sent him here in the first place.

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

“Oh I miss my family so, I wish I could travel to see them!”

“Empress you know you are not and will never be allowed to leave this place no more than I am.”

“Sesshoumaru don’t you miss your family? Tell me of your lands, anything to distract my mind of this horrid place.” she pleaded with that puppy look that she knew he could never resist.

I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming

He watched her stealthily as she walked in a garden alone. The loneliness for the palace life was not for her, she needed to be around many people not kept from them.

“I wonder if someone from my clan would ever come here and see this hell that I am in; if only they would visit they would take me away for this is not what was agreed upon.” she mumbled silently but loud enough that his sensitive ears caught it.

“If you would just tell me what your contract was I would take you from here.” he stated but she could not hear for his words were lost in the wind.

Where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

The Emperor became restless with the young attractive Empress spending so much time with her guard that he forced him to transfer to the barrier guard’s regiment.

“I’m sorry that I must leave you my Lady but I trust that you will be well taken care of. If you ever have need of me I will be but a name away.” Sesshoumaru stated sincerely as he bowed and kissed the back of her hand.

Kagome recovered from her blush before Sesshoumaru looked back up to her face and calmly but pleadingly stated, “You will be dearly missed. Stay safe and maybe one day we will see each other again and catch up on the time past from here to then.”
