O-O-O-O-O

 

Ok like Love exchange is almost halfway over :O! Anyways please review!

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

I opened the car door. “Sesshomaru?” He smiled at me. “Yeah, how are you?” He asked. So I was to be living with him? Well I guess his house would be the safest compared to mine. I hopped in the front seat. “Ok, so this might be a little weird for you. But everything will work out good I suppose.” Sesshomaru tried to comfort me about staying with him.

 

I let out a small giggle. I wasn't worried more like excited for some reason. I mean I had never lived with a man. I heard a loud sigh from Sesshomaru. “Now the downside is Inuyasha will be living with us.” Now we were us? I smiled and nodded. “As long as he isn't telling me that I'm not that pretty were fine!”

 

“Oh and for your comfort and hers as well, Kikyo will also be moving in to the Taisho mansion.” Now I was even more excited. “What about Sango and Miroku?” He looked at me. “They've lived in the Taisho mansion since they became friends with Inuyasha. I think Sango has been living there for 14 years, ever since her family died and her brother was taken away. Miroku joined shortly after when his guardian Mushin died. So they've known each other for a long time.”

 

He turned back to his driving, I was so busy talking I didn't even know we left the driveway. We pulled into a driveway with a large three story house, out came Kikyo with a butler carrying her suitcases.

 

She smiled and waved at me excitedly. “Hopefully nothing more will happen and we can just have fun!” Though I doubted that nothing more would happen, we needed something to happen, I just shook my head fast, just as excited. Before I went on my journey I needed some relaxation. Her last encounter still had quite a hand on her.

 

“Hey Kagome,” Kikyo got in the car and we took off. “How about we do something fun later? It might help, you know…” I smiled weakly. “Sure.”

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

The first thought that popped into her mind was how she was going to find her room. The house was so huge it was probably about 15 of her shrines or more put together. “This is even nicer than my home!” Kikyo exclaimed. Evidently this was her first time in the mansion.

 

“I can't believe you live in such a big place!” Sesshomaru looked at Kagome. “Normally I don't, I have a smaller condo, which is still quite large…but mansions are simply to big. Usually only Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and the servants stay here.”

 

Sesshomaru handed our coats to a nearby butler and we began a tour of the WHOLE mansion.

 

There was one room that caught my interest. It was called the portrait room, paintings and pictures of there whole family.

 

After the whole mansion was almost asleep I snuck down to the portrait room to see all the pictures. There were 3 large portraits hanging on the wall. Kagome walked closer to read the gold engraved tags beneath the portraits. The first one said “Inukimi and Inutaisho” As I looked at the picture she appeared to be Sesshomaru's mother. She looked exactly like him and had the crescent moon on her forehead.

 

The 2nd portrait was of a beautiful lady with black hair and Inutaisho. Izaiyoi…? Who was she? I quickly moved to the last picture. I instantly knew who the two men were Inutaisho and my…father.

 

I stared at my fathers face closely. My father and I looked nothing alike. He had long silver hair and sapphire colored eyes. Extremely gorgeous just like an angel.

 

The door creaked open and Inuyasha stepped inside. “What are you doing in here?” His voice was calm and he didn't appear to be drunk at all. “I just wanted to look, I'm sorry.” His expression changed to a soft expression.

 

`Izaiyoi, your probally wondering who she was right?” I nodded my head. “Izaiyoi Taisho was my mother. Human she was yet my father loved her. Sesshomaru had always been jealous of me and my mother. Inukimi, Sesshomaru's mother just dropped him off with Inutaisho the day he was born. Later she came back to visit Sesshomaru a couple of times but she had been using Sesshomaru to get closer to my father.

 

“She held absolutely no love for him. Maybe that's why he's such an ass sometimes.” Inuyasha laughed. “Believe he takes after his mother, I don't know her very well but I know how she acts. Ive always thought no matter what a boy is always attached to his mother, I know I was, but Sesshomaru never could be. Maybe…if my mother was like that I would act like him too.

 

“Mother's do influence the ways of life or she did mine. My mother was a very sweet and kind person it's hard for me to even believe she's dead though it's been years.”

 

I giggled a little. “It's true, my mother influences my life but I don't think your mom influence you to be an alcoholic.” He stared at me sadly.

 

“No, she didn't…her death did. Ever since her death when I was twelve, I started drinking. And when I drink the normal rage I usually feel just comes out. I use my brawls with Koga as a reliever…to let it all out.” He closed his eyes. It was weird that he was so, what to call it, nice or open? “Its been to many years and I still haven't let go of my mother's death. It's childish I know.

 

“Sesshomaru's always telling me to grow up and move on. Well I can't say always, just when I get into fights because it ruins his damn public image. He can be so self centered and…but I just can't seem to blame him. And I wonder what he'd say if he actually knew that I though of him as my brother.”

 

I smiled. “Shocked, happy, you'll never know unless you tell him.” “Hmmph, easy for you to say. But anyways its late, come one, lets go!” We walked back to my new room. “Say, Inuyasha?” He stared at me. “What were you doing in the portrait room so late at night?” He sighed. “I visit my mother's picture every night.”

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

“So Sesshomaru about the show…?” Kikyo wondered. It was Kikyo's favorite and she had been utterly disappointed that it had been canceled. “Don't worry,” He sighed. “It's being rescheduled. Unfortunately we don't have enough time to relax, we do need to find Makura,” Kikyo's face turned into an expression of sadness. “Would you have any ideal where she is?”

Kikyo shook her head. “Sorry, as you know she hardly talked about herself. She had once told me about her shadow powers but she had never used them in front of me. And I had no ideal of exactly what she could do.”

 

“Hmmm, well now it seems we have an ideal. But of course we do not know the full extent of her abilities or what she is planning to do with the Shikon no tama.” He turned to me. “Do you know how to use your abilities.”

 

I looked at him. At moments in my life I had used them, I know for sure, but I just never knew that it was caused by me and they happened on accident. ”No, I do not know how to use my powers at will.”

 

Kikyo smiled. “I'll help you then, I'm sure your similar to me and I can control my powers. It'll be easy!” I stared at her. “You have powers?” She nodded her head. “I come from a family of priests and priestesses who have years of training in controlling powers. If we can I would like to take you out there to train with them. I probably could use a reminder as well…”

 

She smiled as Inuyasha entered the room. They had talked all morning when they had got up, and she found that he was a `gentleman' as she put it when he was sober. As far as I could tell he was very interested in Kikyo.

 

So far it had only been one day and I really liked staying with everyone. It was currently10:00 and I was wondering when I would see Sango and Miroku, seeing as how they lived here wouldn't they be up all ready? Speak of the devil…

 

“Kagome!!” Sango squealed as she pounced on me. She greeted Kikyo less enthusiastically but none the less she was greeted with a casual `hello'. Well it was better than nothing.

 

Sango chatted randomly with me for an hour, and started to actually like Kikyo. But Kikyo was mainly busy flirting with Inuyasha and vice versa.

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

A few days of relaxation passed, it was really nice to just sit back, do some shopping, and occasional fun activities. Every night me and Sesshomaru did some chatting but tonight perhaps the conversation was a little different.

 

“So are you ready to go to the training camp tomorrow?” He asked me. He seemed a little different. “Hmm, well I have liked my vacation, but because of it were getting perhaps further away from our mission. I must be strong, and I must train hard.” I said. The stars in the sky this night were shining brightly, like diamonds in the sky. The snow falling overhead silently creating a beautiful winter night.

 

“And what will you do while I'm gone Sesshomaru?” I felt like asking him, interested in what he'd be doing while I was gone. “I'll be going back over my sword skills, I haven't used them since I took over the company, so I could use a reminder as well.”

 

“You know I helped you out a lot when you became a model, and even now I'm helping you. I'll be rude right now, I want something in exchange.” He stared at me.

 

“I'm used to your rudeness,” I flashed a teasing smile at him.” Anyways what would you like from me? I mean you obviously can buy almost anything you wanted…and you've helped me so much I want to give whatever I can back to you.”

 

He smiled at me. “You'll have to wait and see what I want.” Surprisingly he gave me a hug and walked back inside the mansion.

 

I just stood there, shocked, and watched his retreating form go back inside the mansion.

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

Time flies fast and before I knew it I had already began my training. I had found parting unusually hard after last night. And I just wondered what he wanted in return from me that he didn't already have.

 

“Kagome! Are you paying attention?” The older priestess asked me. She was teaching me the art of controlling my powers and so far, it wasn't so easy. “Yes, Simouye-Sensei.” Though really I wasn't.

 

Deep breath and summon the power from within you. It wasn't something you could really teach but sum up in words. After all this process was somewhat different for everyone.

 

Simouye-sensei wasn't much help other than trying to keep my thoughts from lingering to a image of Sesshomaru. In which I suspected she knew that I was focusing. Perhaps she had some psychic power to read minds?

 

I tried and tried but it never seemed to work, only build up my frustration. “Simouye-sensei! This isn't working no matter how much I try.” She sighed. “Take a break, child.”

 

I wandered off to find Kikyo and saw her with her red preiestess kimono, sitting on the steps. “It's freezing out here!” I exclaimed. “So how's your training Kagome?” She asked me. Glumly I told her everything. “I see,” She grinned at me devilishly. “I know just how to help you!”

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

The shikon no tama what a magnificent jewel, Makura thought. She rolled the jewel around on her palm. She had now had it for about a week, and so far she had no thought of what exactly she was going to do with it.

 

She looked through he shadows as she watched from her cave, Sesshomaru practicing. `Why would he even help her?' She almost smashed the jewel in rage. Didn't his assistant, Makura Yakusoku, mean anything to him?

 

`And if he doesn't love you, will you force him? Is there a way too?' Naraku's words rang through her mind. `The only way you can keep him is to tie him up or kill him, he'll never love you and that's just a fact you'll have to learn.'

 

Makura laughed. Now she finally had a way to make him lover her, even against his will. She enclosed the jewel in her palms and put the jewel over her heart, then closed her eyes.

 

“I wish that Sesshomaru would forget Kagome, and love only me.”

 

And like everything all dreams must end.
