Kagome's Destiny

 

Chapter 8

 

 

 

Kagome and Sesshomaru walked into out of the throne room onto the balcony.

 

`What am I going to do?' thought Kagome. `I can't talk small talk with Sesshomaru. Oh, look what he did to my kimono. I am so glad that I have a shirt under it for cases like this. '

 

Kagome walked up to the edge of the balcony and looked out to see the forest. Sesshomaru watched her with cold indifference on his face.

 

For ten minutes they just stayed the same way. Kagome looked at the forest surrounding her. She then looked at the bright moon. Sesshomaru stood a few steps behind her. He looked at her with a small curious look on his face, but not before he changed his face to the cold indifference that it was.

 

`Okay, I can't stand this silence anymore!' Kagome thought.

 

“Can you believe this beauty that this world is?” asked Kagome. “Can you believe that with such beauty there is a person that wants to destroy it? How can Naraku want to destroy something so precious?”

 

“Naraku is an evil that should not have been born in this world.”

 

“You know what? That has to be the only thing that we have ever agreed on.”

 

Sesshomaru didn't say anything to this. Kagome looked at the sky.

 

“The stars are so clear here. Aren't they beautiful?” asked Kagome.

 

“This Sesshomaru has questions. And you are going to answer them.” demanded Sesshomaru.

 

“Of course, Lord Sesshomaru. I will answer as many questions that I am able to answer. I hope that you will not be disappointed in me if I do not answer a question. But ask away.”

 

“How are you here?”

 

“As you well know, I was sent into the future for my protection from my father's enemies. He didn't think that I would be safe in this time. I later came back here on my fifteenth birthday. I had lost all my memories, at the time, so I didn't remember anything about this time at all. I let Inuyasha out of the tree and then I accidentally broke the Shikon No Tama. We started to travel together. We later got more companions. You have already met them.” Kagome stopped with her tale and waited for the next question.

 

Sesshomaru waited until the end of her tale before he asked another question. “I sense miko powers in you. How did you retain that power even though you turned into your demon form?”

 

“My mother is a miko turned demon. She, unlike most turned demons, retained her miko abilities. A very small amount of miko abilities, but enough for me to gain those powers. It took all her strength to not purify herself. She could never sure her miko powers or she would have killed herself. Midoriko gave me the Jewel of Four Souls after Kikyou died. Midoriko decided that she was not pure enough nor was she powerful enough to protect the Jewel. I was powerful enough in the future to protect it. In the future there is no demons, so I had no need to protect it. All I had to do was hide it.”

 

“How were you able to not purify yourself?”

 

“Since my mother had kept a small amount of her powers, she passed them on to me when I was born. I, however, gained more power than she did. I then gained more by the Shikon No Tama. I have kept my purity even after people trying to destroy it. Kagome paused. “Any more questions? I am an open book.”

 

“Why didn't you remember anything after you came back?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“My father put a spell on me. It was mainly my father who did it. My mother didn't do much at all. All she did was make the family that found me believe that I was their own child. And since at the time I looked only a few weeks old, it wasn't very hard for them to believe. So are you going to answer some of my questions or am I going to have to keep asking you until you answer out of annoyance.

 

“Fine! What is it that you want to know about this Sesshomaru?”

 

“Well, for starters, why do you seem to hate Inuyasha so much? You fight him, but you don't seem to want to kill him. Sure you want to hurt him, but it seems as if you want to teach him something.”

 

`Should I tell her?' Sesshomaru stared at Kagome while her back was to him. `There is something about her that seems to be trustworthy, or maybe she is someone I can respect.'

 

“You are correct. I am trying to get my brother to respect his life. I know about him falling in love with a human priestess. Disgusting in my opinion. I try to get him to know that life is a precious thing, especially for a half-breed. He has lost my faith in him.”

 

“But didn't he have to defend for himself after his mother died?”

 

“Yes, he did. But little did he know that I was watching over him. I didn't let him a face an opponent that would have gotten him killed. He didn't know at the time, but I was always there. I helped him until he got involved with humans.”

 

Kagome turned around and watched Sesshomaru with a thoughtful look. “When why do you hate humans? I know that you hate them with a passion. That much is the most obvious thing in the world!”

 

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome as if he was contemplating whether to answer or not.

 

“My mother was killed by a human band of bandits. They thought that if they killed my mother then the west would crumple. They thought that they could sell her body to the highest bidder. So they could put her body on display and made my father and I weak. Little did they know that my father left the morning that they killed her. I was the only one home besides the servants. They killed her in her room before I could get to her. I found them over her bloody, decapitated body. Their hands were soiled with her blood. The floor was washed in it. They bled her dry, so that my father could not revive her. I never told my father the state of her body when he got home. I had already cleaned up the mess. He never knew that I killed the humans like the animals that they were. He just came home to his mate dead and his son in seclusion.”

 

Sesshomaru went silent after that. Kagome stood silently watching him.

 

“So that is why…” Kagome said out loud more to herself than to Sesshomaru.

 

Sesshomaru gave her a look that said that he had no idea what she was talking about.

 

“That is why you turned cold and emotionless. You haven't had the time to mourn. You must have thought that it was your fault that she was killed. You blamed yourself for her death. That is why you became the way that you are now. You became like this so nothing like that could happen to the ones that you loved again. But, that wasn't what happened is it. Something like that happened again, didn't it?”

 

Sesshomaru walked forward to Kagome with malice. “What do you know? You should know when to stay out of a demon's life”

 

“Ah, but the fact is that I am right, aren't I?”

 

Instead of answering, Sesshomaru gripped the front of her kimono. It started to crumple and the white shirt underneath it showed more and more.

 

“Well, you did a number on my kimono. Oh, well!” said Kagome with a hint of laughter in her voice. “But you should know that your secret is safe with me. No one will know what you have told me tonight.”

 

Sesshomaru let her go and started to walk away.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru?” Kagome called.

 

Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

 

“I meant what I said.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded slightly. “Rin has been asking for you. It would make her happy if you would a visit.”

 

“Thank you. I will do that.”

 

Sesshomaru flew off the balcony on his white, fluffy cloud. He flew to the Western Lands, his territory.
