InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome's true fourm ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: Sorry for the hold up. I had to focus on my schoolwork for a while, plus it takes me a long time to type what I have written down on paper to the computer. I hope to update more often from now on.

Chapter 3

~ Kagome's pov ~

When Sesshoumaru put his arm and tail around me tighter, I could feel my anger start to go away, but when he whispered into my ear that he understood and that he cared that I was ok, I just had to smile. I turned around in his arm and looked into his face. It was still a mask but there was clearly something in his eyes that was not usually there. I looked strait into his eye and said, "thank you… if you hadn't interfered then I probably would have gotten out of control." He leans down with his face close to mine, our noses almost touching.

I can smell his sent. It is like dew in the morning and fresh grass, but also something underneath his sent. It is the maleness, I know that is not a word but that is how I can describe it. I look back into his eyes and see that his `shields' are down in them and what I wee astounds me. I can see his kind soul. I can also see the sadness and loneliness in his heart that his father had put into him, by casting his mother out for a human. I can see the events leading up to him becoming `hard', cold and emotionless. I feel the need to comfort him so I raise my hand to his cheek. When I touch his skin I feel power and suddenly I am living in his flashback.

~ Sesshoumaru's pov ~

I knew I had to do something when she stared to get very angry with my `brother', so I did the only thing that I could think of, to distract her. When I told her that I cared that she was ok I ment it with all of my being. Over the last few weeks I have seen a different side to her. When I came the first day everyone didn't trust me, and stayed as far away from me as possible. I have gotten use to it over the years, but when Kagome saw what everyone was doing she came over to me and sat down next to me, and said something that totally shocked me.

She said that she trusts me and that her life was in my hands. I think that doesn't remember because after she said it she fell asleep. She started to lean, and I could see a faint shiver. So with out thinking I pulled her next to me and wrapped my tail around both of us. When she thanked me for distracting her I was just stunned. I don't think that I have ever been thanked for something in my life. So I moved closer to her to tell her that it was my pleasure but I got distracted by her smell.

She smells like rose blossoms in bloom and vanilla. I just stood there with my nose almost touching hers and starring into her eyes. I could see pure happiness and a little hurt by what Inuyasha had done. I could feel her intense gaze in my eyes. I knew that my shields are down, but I am tired of hiding my feelings from her. She seems to understand my pain so I leave them down. When I feel her hand hovering right next to my cheek I didn't know what to think when all of a sudden there was a flash back to my childhood.

* Flashback * (still Sesshoumaru's pov)

I am little and looking for my mother. I had found something interesting and wondered what it was, and was hoping she would know. I was passing my father's study and heard shouting. I was curious to what the noise was coming from, so I opened the door a crack to see what the problem was. Inside were my father and mother yelling at each other.

"Why would you do this to me? I am your wife; do I not do all that I am to do? Do I not love you enough." My mother asked my father. I could tell she was close to tears. "Yes, but I do not love you anymore, you know are marriage was arranged." My father replies to her questions. "What of our son, what of Sesshoumaru? Will you take away his right?" " No, he is still my first born, he shall be Lord of the Western Lands, but the forest shall go to the other, along with Tetsusaiga, (A/N: If this is not the right spelling please tell me so that I may fix it.) to keep his demon form at bay.

Sesshoumaru shall get Tetsiege (A/N: If this is not the right spelling please tell me so that I may fix it.) He shall learn." "What other?" My mother asks while coughing because she is very sick. "My other son who will be born next spring." With that he walks out the other door that leads to a patio and beyond. I was so angry with him when suddenly I noticed that my mother had not stopped coughing. I ran to her to try and help. "Please, Sesshoumaru please don't become like him. Mate for love and not duty. Live a happy, loving life unlike mine. Please promise me that you will mate for love and nothing else." "I promise mother." I told her. After I said that she seemed at peace when all of a sudden she stopped breathing.

* End Flashback *

~ Kagome's pov ~

It was so sad living through his pain. When the memories stopped I had tears in my eyes that flowed down my cheeks. I looked into Sesshoumaru's eyes and saw a single tear excape his right eye. I wiped it away with my hand and tasted it. I saw emotion that was running through his eyes so fast you couldn't tell what he was thinking. I lean close into him and kiss him on the lips. I decide to do something for him, with that I move my hand to cup the stump of his missing arm and close my eyes, and begin to glow.

~ Inuyasha's pov ~

I am so confused at what is happening. Wait, what is Kagome doing? She is kissing him. "Don't touch her!" I yell to no avail so I take out Tetsiege and run at him when all of a sudden Kagome opens her eyes and looks strait at me and lifts her hand that is not on Sesshoumaru's arm and points it at me. All of a sudden Tetsiege is un-transformed and I am floating in the air unable to move.

~ Sesshoumaru's pov ~

I can't believe that she is kissing me. I can feel a tingling feeling all over my body that moves toward my missing arm. All I feel is a warm feeling. When the light gets too intense I close my eyes. When it feels that it is over I open my eyes to see that my arm was back. I look into her eyes and ask, "Thank you Kagome, but why did you do this for me?" She answers with a smile on her face, "Because I felt like it and that you helped me so I felt like returning the favor." I just look into her eyes for what seems like forever, when I was jerked out of it by Inuyasha yelling at Kagome.

~ Normal pov ~

"Hey wretch! Put me down NOW!" Inuyasha yells at Kagome. She turns around in Sesshoumaru's arms very slowly and looks up at Inuyasha. "Is that what you really want, Inuyasha?" She asks him with a smile on her face. "Yes! Now do it wretch (A/N: ? spelling)!" "I was going to do it nicely until you called me wretch… I told you to not call me that." She posses and reaches behind her and covers Sesshoumaru's ears with her hands. " INUYASHA! SIT BOY!" She yells at him.

Inuyasha goes crashing to the ground from about 10 feet up in the air. When the dust settled there was a big impression of Inuyasha's body in the ground. " Let's go to the village and wait for Inuyasha their sense he can't not insult me he will be in there for quite a while." Kagome says to everyone, when all of a sudden she remembers that her hands were still covering Sesshoumaru's ears. She moves them off and turns around. " Sorry Sesshoumaru I forgot to remove my hands." " That's ok Kagome, thank you for remembering about them."

Kagome yawns and Sesshoumaru picks her up and walks over to a tree and sits down leaning against it and pulls her into his lap. "Sleep Kagome, I will watch over you." Sesshoumaru tells her so only she can hear him. When all of a sudden Rin comes running into the clearing. "Sesshoumaru-sama I was so worried that you had not come back so I came to see if you were ok." "I am fine Rin." "Oh…" She sees Kagome in his lap. " Are you ok Kagome-sama?" "Yes I am Rin, thanks to Sesshoumaru… come over here and lay down, you must be very tired."

"I am thanks Kagome-sama." Whit that Rin walks around the hole that Inuyasha was still in and went to lie down next to Kagome in Sesshoumaru's lap. Kagome puts her arm around her and pulls her close. Kagome looks up to see Shippo looking lost. Kagome looks up at Sesshoumaru as if to ask if it was ok for him to join them. Sesshoumaru nods and says "Shippo, you may join us if you wish to." "Oh, thank you Lord Sesshoumaru." Shippo replies and comes over and lies down next to Sesshoumaru.

"Goodnight Shippo, goodnight Rin." Kagome says. They would have answered if they could have, but they had all ready fallen asleep. "Goodnight Sesshy." Kagome says in her sleep. "Goodnight Kagome, sweet dreams." Sesshoumaru replies, as he bends down and kisses her on the forehead, while he covers them with his tail. As he bends back up he sees Sango and Morku looking at him with questions on their faces. "Trust me, I will explain everything in the morning and so will Kagome. I am sure. Now you should get some sleep, it has probably been a long day for you." He tells them and closes his eyes so that they will relax and go to sleep.
