InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Demon ❯ Peace for a Moment ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Peaceful for a Moment

 

Kagome sighed and stretched before getting out of bed. She saw Sesshomaru sitting next to her reading a notebook. She sat down to see the notebook he was reading. This was Kagome's handwriting.

 

“What's this?” Kagome asked.

 

“This is your journal. You wrote this before you turned into a demon,” Sesshomaru answered. Kagome's eyes widened and she went to grab the book. She flipped to the beginning and began reading. It was basically a bunch of ranting and rambling until she came to the part about meeting Inuyasha. Then she went on to describe when she met Sesshomaru and how she felt about him.

 

Kagome could tell she was in love with him from the moment she saw him. She looked up at Sesshomaru and he was still reading the journal. He turned to face her and placed his lips to her temple.

 

Kagome smiled before turning back to read. She was learning more and more about herself and she was getting excited. She laughed when she read the part about telling Sango and ow crazy she sounded.

 

“There it is,” Sesshomaru whispered. Kagome looked up at him confused and he continued, “There's the smile I fell in love with.” He leaned down and kissed her lips. Kagome sighed happily as the kiss grew deeper. This demon in front of her was absolutely amazing, but she wasn't ready to go to the next level just yet.

 

Kagome pushed Sesshomaru away and looked at him apologetically. He understood and kissed her forehead gently. “I'm sorry Sesshomaru.”

 

“I apologize Kagome. If you hadn't met me you would've been a normal human woman.”

 

“Don't say that! I'm actually glad I met you. Even though I don't remember much of our time together I know I was happy when I first met you. Don't think I don't like the way I am,” Kagome said smiling. She leaned up and kissed him again trying to convince Sesshomaru that he did nothing wrong.

 

Kagome was happy and she didn't want anyone to ruin it.

 

“I need to go. Come with me to the demon city. I want you near me at all times,” Sesshomaru stated.

 

“I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I'm already healed and I know where you are if I need you,” Kagome said reassuring Sesshomaru. It didn't convince him though.

 

“I'll send Inuyasha to keep you company. I just don't want you alone while Naraku is still out there.”

 

Kagome sighed and gave in. Sesshomaru kissed her forehead before disappearing. Kagome went back to her journal and continued reading. She never knew she felt this way about Sesshomaru before. She felt as if she was regaining some of the memories by reading her old notebook.

 

Inuyasha appeared with Shippo and Kagome put her book away.

 

“Hey Kagome! Want to play a game with me?” Shippo asked jumping on the bed.

 

“Sure! What game would you like to play?”

 

“Hide and seek, demon style,” Shippo smirked.

 

“How do you play that?”

 

“Well, we'll go hide in the forest and Inuyasha will have to find us. When and if he does we'll have to run to the sacred tree as home base. It's so much fun!”

 

“Why am I the seeker first?” Inuyasha scoffed.

 

“Because I decided it that way. Now start counting to 50 and then come find us. Come on Kagome!” Shippo grabbed Kagome's hand and they jumped out the bedroom window.

 

They split up and Kagome climbed up a tree and hid among the branches. She felt a presence behind her and whirled around. A pair of evil, red eyes met her gaze. She jerked herself out of the tree to get away from the terrifying creature next to her.

 

“You killed our child Kagome. How could you be so cruel?” Naraku's voice drifted to her ears making her stomach knot. She refused to even say a word to the revolting man that had violated her. She stood on guard wishing for Inuyasha or Sesshomaru to find her.

 

Kagome's eyes darted from side to side for an available escape route and she readied herself to run back to her home. Naraku appeared in the tree she was hiding in, grinning.

 

“You know it was fun watching you squirm after you got the news of being pregnant. I see that even Sesshomaru can't touch you without you thinking of me,” Naraku said smiling. “I only wish you hadn't killed the baby. It would've been nice. We could've been one happy family.”

 

Kagome could smell Inuyasha near by and made a break for it. She sprang off the ground running as fast as her legs would carry her until she literally ran into Inuyasha. Her body slammed right into his causing them both to collide into the solid ground.

 

“Ouch. What the hell was that all about?” Inuyasha asked rubbing his head.

 

“Naraku…” Kagome barely even whispered the name. It was like her voice left her in the middle of when she was trying to explain things.

 

“Naraku? Come on. We'll get Shippo and then we'll go see Sesshomaru.”

 

Kagome only nodded. Inuyasha hadn't sensed Naraku anywhere and couldn't smell him now. He wondered if he really was here.

 

Shippo popped out of a bush and said, “I heard my name!”

 

“Yeah. We need to see Sesshomaru as soon as possible.”

 

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;……………

 

Kagome sat in the waiting room of the fancy corporate building. She hadn't said a word to anyone only wanting to see Sesshomaru. Shippo sat on Kagome's lap when Sesshomaru came out into the waiting room.

 

Shippo jumped off of Kagome as she stood up and hugged Sesshomaru around the waist.

 

“What happened?” Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha while holding Kagome.

 

“She said she saw Naraku, but I never smelled or sensed him,” Inuyasha stated. “I know she's not lying. It just doesn't make any sense.”

 

“Am I going crazy or what?” Kagome laughed. “I think I see Naraku and I immediately freak out.”

 

“Don't say that. You have been through a lot and it is alright to be scared every once in a while.” Sesshomaru tried to calm her by playing with her hair gently.

 

Another demon came out of a back room. “Sesshomaru you are needed in a meeting. Do not walk out on your duties.”

 

“I'll be in soon,” Sesshomaru said. “I have to go now, but you can wait in my office with Shippo and Inuyasha if you wish.”

 

“No. I'll go home. I'm fine.” Kagome smiled up at Sesshomaru and began to leave. She didn't want to be weak anymore. She was trying to prove to herself that she could take care of herself, even when she had no idea who she was or what she was doing.

 

Before Sesshomaru could even process the words she was out the door. She ran the rest of the way home, not wanting the others to catch up with her. She knew they would catch up eventually though. She decided to take a little detour and visit Sango.

 

Inuyasha arrived at Kagome's home, not finding her. “God that stupid woman!” He didn't even want to baby sit her all day, let alone chase her around town.

 

Kagome walked up to her friend's house and knocked on the door. Sango opened the door with Miroku standing behind her.

 

“Kagome! Come in!” Sango smiled hugging her friend.

 

“It's good to see you Kagome,” Miroku greeted. Kagome looked at him confused. She didn't remember meeting him.

 

“Oh! This is Miroku. I forgot you are suffering from memory loss,” Sango said. “He was one of your friends before you went missing.”

 

“Hello Miroku. Sorry I don't remember you. I'm still trying to figure out my past life,” Kagome laughed.

 

“What brings you here?” Sango asked as they all sat in the living room.

 

“Honestly I needed to go somewhere other than my home. Sesshomaru refuses to let me be alone.”

 

“I have something for you. I found these old home movies of us on vacation and I wanted to see if they would trigger anything.” Sango got up and left the room returning with three or four tapes. Kagome took them and stared at them curiously. Maybe this would help her remember anything about her past.

 

“Thank you. This means a lot to me.”

 

Hopefully Kagome would remember her past. She seemed to want to remember her emotions the most. The emotions she felt when she met Sesshomaru. She wanted to leave and watch the tapes, but she stayed and talked with Sango and Miroku, fascinated by their human behaviors.

 

Kagome had never noticed before, but there was a huge difference between humans and demons. Not just the physical factures, but behaviors too. Humans were driven by emotion while demons were controlled by their instinct.

 

Sango and Miroku spoke freely and laughed from the heart. Demons seemed to control these emotions and only did what was necessary to survive.

 

Kagome couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She wished she could be human again for only a while. She liked being a demon, but being a human seemed to be a lot more fun and free.

 

After hours of talking Sesshomaru burst through the front door looking extremely agitated. Kagome stood gracefully as he wrapped his arms around her tiny figure from behind. “Inuyasha and Shippo have been looking for you for hours. Why couldn't you listen to me and stay at my office?”

 

Kagome could feel the anger coming off of him. She turned in his arms and practically melts when she saw the relief in his eyes. “I'm sorry. I just wanted to visit my old friends and be alone. I'm tired of always having to have an escort around whenever I do anything.”

 

“She is a grown woman. She can take care of herself,” Sango piped in. Sesshomaru growled at her, but he knew Sango was right.

 

“Don't get mad at her!” Kagome yelled.

 

“I'll leave you alone if that is what you wish. If you are unhappy with me just say so,” Sesshomaru stated coolly as he let her go.

 

“No!” Kagome cried grabbing his arms. She tried to wrap them back around her, but his arms were limp. “I'm happy with you! I just need alone time too. Please understand this.”

 

“I don't understand at all. You keep giving me mixed messages. What is it that you want? How exactly do you feel about me?”

 

Kagome didn't know if she could say it. She loved him, but she wasn't ready for anything. She needed her memories back to feel like a whole being. “I'm in love with you Sesshomaru. I'm sure you already know that. I just want my memories back so I can be worthy of you.”

 

Kagome could here Sango coo in the background as Sesshomaru kissed Kagome's forehead. “It is I who isn't worthy of you,” he whispered so only Kagome could hear.

 

Kagome smiled at his comment and just shook her head. He had his thoughts all jumbled up if that's what he thought. Kagome hoped this peaceful feeling within her would last for a little while longer, but sometimes even that is too much to ask for.
