O-O-O-O-O

Christmas is almost here. A delightful season that I had always looked forward to, but this was by far the worst. On such a happy day why was I in so much pain?

--

“I imagine,” Simouye smiled. “That you two will be returning to your boys at the mansion for Christmas, ne?” We both flushed red. ‘Our boys?’ “Well yes, a day ago we didn’t get a clear message but I don’t think everything is too jolly over there. Maybe you could cheer them up?” Simouye cleared her throat.

“So Kagome why don’t you start packing? Your training is coming along so perfectly, you can take a small break, I’m afraid not long but it’ll be enough to relax a short while.” I smiled and giggled a bit. It was going to be nice to see them both again, yet slightly weird not celebrating Christmas with her own family.

But couldn’t she count the Taisho brothers and friends as her other family? A new family, it was a pleasant thought. I raced up stairs and began packing. What about Kikyo?

O-O-O-O-O

“Kikyo-san.” Kikyo turned around. “Yes, Simouye-sensei?” Simouye turned to look at the snow falling from the window. “Actually the reason why I’m sending you back for a short while is because I sensed a disturbance at the Taisho mansion, though Inuyasha refrained from saying anything I could tell something was really wrong.

“So I’m sending you two back…I figured it would be best not to tell Kagome, and at least have one person informed.” Kikyo swallowed hard and glared at Simouye. “Simouye, please you must tell me what’s happening. Of all people you would know.” Kikyo begged.

“I do not know much.” Simouye lied. “Liar!” Kikyo yelled. Simouye whipped around angered by her declaration. “Would you rather not go back?” They stared at each other. “So, I did lie. I do know what’s happening…but I believe it would be better for Kagome to find out when she gets there, if I told her…I know she would not go back.” And clicked. “So this involves something with Sesshomaru then?” Simouye nodded. “Sadly I don’t know what to do now. Before you or Kagome do something rash return here.” She dismissed Kikyo.

Kikyo sighed. Selfish woman. It would be easier if she could predict the future as well as Simouye but it took much power, and she didn’t have that right now. Well whatever was going to happen Simouye seemed to think this would be the best path. Simouye wouldn’t lead them wrong would she?

O-O-O-O-O

“Lady Makura.” A servant bowed to her. “Hmm?” Makura replied lazily. “One of your servants have reported that Kagome is heading back her.” Makura smiled. “Thankyou, dismissed.” The servant bowed again and exited Makura’s new chambers. “Excellent.” She whispered.

Makura picked up the jewel, when she researched it they had said after making a wish disappear but it didn’t. It had returned to her, but it was a jet black. When she split a piece for her ring it turned a dark purple but it wasn’t black, so she used it.

She took the jewel fragment from her ring and pieced it back into the jewel. If the jewel kept reappearing did that mean she could have unlimited wishes? She laughed. This was great, she could rule Japan or even the world with this in her hands. How did something so powerful end up with such a weak girl?

What did it matter? She slipped it into her dress pocket and left her chambers, she had to prepare for Kagome’s arrival of course.

O-O-O-O-O

Inuyasha struggled to get free the shackles that bound him to the wall. “That bitch!” He screamed, but his voice only bounced back at him. He hadn’t cooperated with her plan and she just had him shackled and tied down in the basement.

Evidently this wasn’t just steel, he could easy break that. But it was bound by, shadows? What the hell was she? If only he had studied his demon magic book his mother had given him. In this age he tossed it out, why did he need it anyways?

The door opened, and light creaked in. “What the hell do you want bitch?” He yelled. The voice silenced him with a “shhh.” And began to unbind him.

“Miroku?”

O-O-O-O-O

I stepped out of the car and stretched. “My back hurts.” Kikyo laughed at me. “It is a long ride.” I was kinda worried Kikyo looked ill or maybe sad but it was bothering me. “Are you ok, Kikyo?” I asked her. She nodded. “Yeah.” I glanced at her for another moment and ran towards the large white marble stairs.

“Sesshomaru-“ I looked up to find Makura at the top. “What are you doing here?” I asked pretty calmly. She pretty much scared my sanity out of me so I couldn’t really tell if I was calm or ready to faint.

She had on a long fur coat and she looked like a dead woman with her pale white skin next to the black fur. Kikyo ran towards us. “I knew somehow you’d be here.” Makura raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, I had to come see my fiancé.” We stared at her. “Fiancé?” We both asked at the same time. She nodded. “Sesshomaru, why don’t you tell them about our engagement?”

I gasped. “Sesshomaru, you told me you didn’t like Makura!” I cried hoping he would tell me the words I wanted to hear. He just stared at me. “Who are you?” Shock were the only words to describe what was going on.

“W-who am I?” I said slowly. I started to laugh. “This is a funny joke.” I looked at him, he glared back at me. “Seriously.” He just continued to glare at me. “Makura, what did you do?” I could barely hear Kikyo as she yelled at Makura. “I’m Kagome.” I could feel the tears welling up, but I wouldn’t let them fall. “Kagome Higurashi? I work with you.”

“Sorry I don’t remember. But nice to meet you Kagome.” He smiled at me. I wanted to die. The person I held most dearest to me, smiled at me, and told me he didn’t remember me. It felt worse than being attacked, all those years by demons. Why? Couldn’t someone else have protected the jewel. I wouldn’t have met Sesshomaru if not for the jewel and right now it seemed that I wished I didn’t know him. I felt as if all hope was lost.

Makura grinned at me. “Awww whats the matter? Just think of this, had you never interfered this would of never happened to you. You should have just went back to your little Kyoto college, its where you belonged.” Her words stung me, the truth is what hurt the most.

Had I never issued the challenge, if they just hadn’t held a competition…I would be at home celebrating Christmas, happily, with my family. Now I would continue watching them together, and wishing that I was the one that was with him and not her.

“Go home, if you want I’ll make you forget too.” I slapped her. “You…how dare you.” She laughed at me. “Is that all you can do? Slap me? How pathetic!” Her emotions snapped. “Love, what a pathetic emotion. Why do you care so much? As far as I know you haven’t even known him for a month! I’ve worked for him for years!” She started screeching. “He never really acknowledged me and you come waltzing in, and make an idiot of yourself! And, and he notices you!” She was laughing now. “Alright I’ll make you a deal.” She took the jewel from her pocket and handed it to Kagome, it instantly purified.

“You can have your one wish as long as you let me kill you after that-“ Before I opened my mouth to agree she added some more. “And no one can interfere with this deal, is that agreeable?”

It was true. I hadn’t known him that long, but what I wanted more than anything was to stay by him, and learn more. Always. A selfish wish is not what was intended for the jewel but just this one…I know I cannot live without him, I would only kill myself inside. “So please…” Kagome sucked in her breath and made her wish.
