Kagome's Destiny

 

Chapter 14

 

Sesshomaru sat himself at the large table. He stood back up and paced back and forth from the door to the table. Sesshomaru paced lost in his own thoughts. He hadn't meant to leave Kagome high and dry in their bedchambers. He just saw her and he suddenly couldn't resist her. Ever since the ball and her coronation he was infatuated with her. He had tried everything to stay away from her. He had even convinced himself that if she had died he could move on, but he knew that he couldn't in the end.

 

`Damn! I can't get her out of my mind. But then again…she is my mate! God, how I want her. I never want to be away from her.'

 

Sesshomaru continued to pace. He suddenly smelt the fresh scent of his mate, Kagome.

 

`Oh, god. What is she doing to me?'

 

Kagome walked into the dining hall only to come face-to-face with Sesshomaru.

 

Sesshomaru went in for the kill with his addicting lips. Kagome, however, had other plans. She moved out of the way of his lips; they met her cheek.

 

Sesshomaru pulled away from her and looked at her. He smirked and put his lips next to her ear. He whispered huskily, “My dear Kagome is there something wrong?”

 

“You know what is wrong? You aren't getting off the hook so easily!” Kagome said slowly.

 

Kagome walked around Sesshomaru and into the room. “Naraku is dead, but I don't know how.”

 

Sesshomaru faced her and placed a bored look on his face where in actuality he was anything but.

 

“He was dead before she even arrived there. And she was just a cheap projection of herself. Unless she did it some other way…” Kagome trailed off deep in thought.

 

Sesshomaru stood behind her, watching her with interest. “What do you think?” Kagome's voice suddenly asked out of the blue.

 

Kagome kept going on before he could reply to her. “There are many things that she or someone else could have done. We will need to talk to the other lords to ask what they think…but I have a feeling…”

 

Sesshomaru walked up behind her and rapped his arms around her slim waist. Kagome placed her head against his chest and leaned on him for support.

 

“What where you doing in the dojo when I saw you?” he whispered in her ear.

 

Kagome was prepared for this question. She stuttered in her answer. “I-I-I was taking time.” She turned around in his arms to face him. “I was taking some time away so that I could use it for later.”

 

Sesshomaru just stared at her in silence.

 

`Ugh. I really don't want to talk about this right now. But then again, Sesshomaru was never one to talk and ask, just demand. Well, what can I expect of the Lord of the West?'

 

“I have a really bad feeling that something bad is going to happen. I took some time away by using my powers. I hope that if I take enough time away, then I can stop whatever is going to happen.”

 

Sesshomaru pulled her into his embrace again as a single tear fell from Kagome's eyes.

 

“Please, Sesshomaru. Can we please skip dinner and leave for the east now. I have a really bad feeling.” Kagome asked as she looked up into his amber eyes. Sesshomaru gave a slight nod before forming his cloud below his feet.

 

Kagome and Sesshomaru rose into the air. They sped down the corridors and out the front door.

 

Faith Hill- There You'll Be

(From the soundtrack of the movie Pearl Harbor)

 

When I think back on these times

And the dreams we left behind

I'll be glad cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life

 

When I look back on these days

I'll look and see your face

You were right there for me

 

In my dreams I'll always see you soaring by the sky

In my heart there'll always be a place for you

For all my life

I'll keep a part of you with me

And everywhere I am there you'll be

And everywhere I am there you'll be

 

Well you showed me how it feels

To feel the sky within my reach

And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me

You're love made me make it through

Oh I owe so much to you

You were right there for me

 

In my dreams I'll always see you soaring by the sky

In my heart there'll always be a place for you

For all my life

I'll keep a part of you with me

And everywhere I am there you'll be

 

Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength

And I want to thank you now for all the ways

You were right there for me

(You were right there for me)

You were right there for me

For always

 

In my dreams I'll always see you soaring by the sky

In my heart there'll always be a place for you

For all my life

 

I'll keep a part of you with me

And everywhere I am there you'll be

And everywhere I am there you'll be

There you'll be……..

Hakito walked into the dojo with a naked sword in his hand. He had just come from seeing his daughter's adopted son, Shippo. He was fairing well; his demon blood rapidly healing the wounds now. He should be conscious within a few hours.

 

`It has come to this. Will she be able to handle it? I hope so.'

 

Hakito, the previous Lord of the East, started to do sword exercises. His blade cut through the air like a knife cutting soft butter. He moved with grace, style, and speed. His face revealed nothing, but if you looked into his eyes you would have seen extreme conflict. His aura spiked a few times before it receded back to its calm state.

 

He swiftly moved throughout the room using his sword technique to its full potential. The look of conflict slowly receded from his eyes as he continued with his dance of the sword. His mind became calm and the only thing that he could hear were the swift swishes of his sword.

 

That calm state, however, quickly disappeared as a servant rushed into the dojo out of breath.

 

“My Lord, there are demons attacking the castle! A woman is leading them!” he shouted out of breath.

 

Hakito raced out of the dojo and out of the castle grounds. He flew by the racing soldiers that were going to the front gate. He stopped at the gate and watched as the soldiers of all of the lands were fighting low class demons. The low class demons were swiftly falling to his soldiers.

 

“Lord Hakito, how nice of you to grace us with your presence.” A voice was heard over the sound of clashing swords. The men fighting stopped and moved out of the way as a beautiful demoness calmly walked in-between their ranks. A beautiful sword in her hands and a sheath at her hip.

 

She smiled at him. “You know what I am here for. Are you going to submit to our bargain or are you going to go down fighting?”

 

“Tell your men to back off…you know that they can not win. It is me that you are after.”

 

Hakito felt the other lords gathering behind him. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango were there with them off to the side from the lords. They, too, were summoned by servants with the news that they were under attack. It seemed that the ladies were being protected in the confines of the castle.

 

The woman faced him off with a gleam in her eyes that held pent up laughter. “As you wish…”

 

Her men started to retreat behind her and out of the way. They moved loudly and cautiously as if they didn't know what they were doing. They then retreated back out of the castle view and away. The remaining soldiers stepped back knowing that this was something that their lord wished to do on his own. They knew that something was up. They stood there watching the two demons in a stain mate; waiting to see what was going to happen next.

 

Finally, Inuyasha had had enough. He shouted, “Who the hell are you?”]

 

The demoness paid no attention to the hanyou. She kept her eyes focused on Hakito.

 

“You are going to have to give up sooner or later, Hakito. You know that you can't beat me. You couldn't then and you certainly can't now.” she said as she smiled.

 

“I did always wonder where you hid that daughter of yours from me. You knew that I was going to come sooner or later. No matter what you do, I will kill her. You can be assured of that.”

 

“I don't think so. You will not touch her for I won't let you.”

 

“I thought that you would say that,” the demoness sighed. “Well, then I will have to finish you off like I should have long ago. You have just delayed the inevitable for all of these years. But seeing as your precious daughter is back, then you are no longer needed.”

 

With those last words from her lips, Hakito and the demoness were in an epic battle. Their bodies and swords were all but a blur with the speed that they were moving. The on looking men watched as blood started to litter the ground in small puddles. An energy blast slammed into Hakito sending him onto the ground on his back. His sword fell from his hands. His body had large cuts everywhere on him. Blood was streaming on the ground from his cuts that where openly bleeding.

 

The lords, Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha raced forward to help, but a strong invisible barrier threw them all back to the ground. Inuyasha stood up and slammed Tetsaiga against it. His sword was thrown away from it. He looked at it in confusion.

 

“Inuyasha, use the red blade! It should break through it!” Sango shouted at him.

 

“I tried, it won't work.”

 

“Hakito, you know that this is pointless.”

 

Hakito moved out of the oncoming sword that was aimed at his head. Hakito looked around desperately once he was out of its path for the time being.

 

“I will never let you kill Kagome.”

 

Hakito raised his demon energy up and the air turned extremely cold. Ice was forming over the ground in the barrier. He lifted his palms and directed them at his opponent. Water with icy spikes flew out of them. He slammed his attack into the woman with no hesitation. Water and ice slowly receded from his palms. His hands flopped back to his side in exhaustion. His breathing was labored and short.

 

The water went down from its monstrous height. The water leveled out. With the water up to his knees Hakito saw that the demoness was still standing. The water didn't seem to bother her at all. The ice didn't seem to even faze her! Her hair and kimono were soaking wet, but besides that she hadn't even moved an inch.

 

“Is that the best that you can do? You know that you can't kill me so why do you even try?”

 

“No, I can't, but I know that Kagome can! And you know it!”

 

The demoness rushed forward. In a flash, she had her sword imbedded in his stomach.

 

“She can't do anything to me?”

 

“Watch her…Shara!”

 

“DAD” a voice screamed.

 

The demoness looked up from his face to look into the eyes of the current Lady of the East, Lady Kagome. Her face was flushed in fury and her eyes were turning red.

 

Sesshomaru and Kagome touched down on the ground. Kagome didn't stay in Sesshomaru's arms for a second before she was running straightforward to her dying father. She slammed into a barrier. She flew twenty feet away before she fit the ground. She jumped up to her feet before anyone could even do anything.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

Kagome went up to the barrier and slammed fire into it. She put her palm down when she realized that she couldn't do anything about it.

 

“No! Daddy!” Kagome screamed.

 

The demoness looked back at Hakito. “Do you hear that? Now your baby girl is going to see you die.”

 

“Go, to hell, Shara.” Hakito whispered as she twisted the sword out of his stomach.

 

“Ah!” he yelled out in pain.

 

“Dad, dad, no don't you dare touch him! Stop!” Kagome started to go hysterical.

 

The barrier surrounding the two suddenly dropped as the demoness disappeared. Hakito slid to the ground and fell on his back holding his wound.

 

“Dad, dad!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

Kagome ran to her father and skid on the ground next to him.

 

“Kagome, don't do it…don't. Save it for another time.”

 

Hakito coughed up some blood. “I love you, my beautiful little girl. Congratulations on the new mate. I am so…proud…of you.”

 

He went through another coughing fit. He spit up blood every time that he coughed.

 

“Kagome…library…second row…fourth shelf…seventh b-b-book…” Hakito voice slowly faded away.

 

“Dad? Dad! No, please don't leave me! No! No…!” Kagome broke out into sobs. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

 

“No, dad. Please don't leave me…”

 

Kagome clenched the dead body of her father to her heart.
