Author's Note: I want to thank the few that reviewed last chapter and I hope that more will review this chapter.

 

Also I created a new story “Stairway to Heaven” that you all should check out if you like Kagome and Sesshoumaru pairings.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Kagome opens her eyes wide staring at everything and nothing around her. She was in her own room, the desk remained in the corner and the window to the balcony let the breeze flow into the room.

Kagome looks at her hands but sees traces of blood on them and she can feel her damp hair sticking to her body. Her eyes remain focused on her hands that are stained with someone's blood. Little diamonds form in the bottom of her eyelids, her nose turns red, and her mouth becomes dry.

“Sesshoumaru?”

It had to be Sesshoumaru's blood on her fingers and the palm of her hand. She killed him because she didn't want to be alone. She murdered the one person that held her happiness; the one person that loved her.

One by one, tears make a path down her pale cheeks. One by one, her heart breaks into the little pieces because she killed the only being, besides Shippo, that ever openly cared about her.

“Kagome?” cool fingers touch her skin to awaken her from her trance. The voice seems so familiar that it reminds her of a dream. However it was impossible since the person is dead and it is impossible to raise the dead. Tears continue to fall down onto the silk sheets and the fingers on her face.

“Kagome?” the voice repeats.

“You can't be alive because I killed you,” Kagome whispers.

“It was a nightmare, Kagome.” Kagome finally looks at Sango's face wondering how something so real can be so false.

“Whose blood is this?” Referring to her red palms that still hold the stain.

“It is not blood but dye from your red kimono, silly girl! It just hasn't washed off, yet.”

Realization sinks into Kagome's minds and her eyes grow wide. Looking to her left she sees Shippo asleep on the covers. What a lazy fox! But she picks him up anyway and holds him close to her heart. He in return nuzzles her chest and purrs lightly.

“Oh, Shippo, I love you so much!” New tears form and fall but with happiness instead of sadness.

Suddenly Kagome rises from her covers, leaves the room and a knowing smile on Sango's lips. She heard Kagome cry out Sesshoumaru's name and the said demon was here when Kagome fell suddenly ill in the gardens. Shippo was the one that alerted Sesshoumaru who actually looked worried for a moment.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Kagome runs through the halls, with Shippo still in her arms, to a room with giant oak doors. Kagome pushes the doors open and runs into the startled arms of the one that she has been thinking of.

She felt so safe in those arms like nothing will ever try to harm her again. That is until she sees the other lords in the room looking at her with obvious disgust in their eyes. At that moment Kagome wanted to fall into a hole and fade away from their eyes. Those eyes that wanted nothing to do with her. The eyes that wanted her to disappear from their presence.

“Kagome, what's the matter?”

His voice brings Kagome back to the reality that he is her lord and that she is nothing but a peasant in pretty clothing. A peasant, that is all that she ever will be, a peasant. She was born and she'll die poor where only the rats and fleas will mourn her.

She could not ever look him into the eyes because she was not worthy enough. Kagome backs away from him and towards the door. The fear in her eyes is evident and the emotion seems so out of place.

“I am sorry, milord,” she says meekly while bowing her head.

“You should be, you filthy peasant!” yells a fat tiger lord.

Kagome flinched at the harsh words while the other lords agreed with Lord Muisho's statement. Lord Sesshoumaru waited for the comeback that he was so accustomed to hear but it never came. What was wrong with this woman? First her falling faint in the garden earlier in the day and now this. Wait, could something have happened to her while she was in her room or did something happen that caused her to be ill? So many questions that need answers and the person that can answer the questions is about to leave the room.

“Forgive me for intruding on your meeting, milord.” Her head remained bowed and she backed away, out the door, and out of his life for good.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

The meeting was over and Sesshoumaru wanted to find out what exactly was wrong with Kagome. However when he reached her room, she wasn't there. In fact Sango informed him that she hasn't been back into her room since she left about an hour and a half ago. So he was searching the entire castle for her and he could not find her.

He had searched the gardens, dining rooms, and he had servants searching the dungeons and all the floors in the palace but, there was so sign of her anywhere. He hasn't seen that weird looking fox either and Kagome would never leave it behind. So she must have taken it with her.

That would explain it, her changed demeanor and no one has seen her since she left his meeting; she left the palace.

“Damn it.”

Lord Muisho's words must have had some effect on her but where could she have gone; the marketplace.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

The village of Edo looked so inviting but Kagome felt out of place with her expensive clothing and shining hair. Everyone looked at her with disgust just like the royals. She and Shippo are alone except for each other but they still have no place to call home.

Kagome takes off her sandals and expensive socks and heads out of Edo, towards a place that might bring happiness. She will walk a lonely road on a path where she is so alone. There are no signs or a shoulder to lean on, she walks alone. She will always alone whilst the heavens weep on the small woman and her black furred fox.

“We don't belong there, Shippo; we don't belong anywhere.”

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

I hope that you enjoyed this chapter more than the first because it was a blow to my ego to see that only two people review. I thank those two that took the time to make me feel special. I can only hope that the people that read this chapter will write something, anything so that I know that people actually enjoy reading this story. If not then maybe I should not continue.
