InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Long Awaited Destiny ❯ Chapter 1

Kagome was in the Feudal Era Japan, helping Inu Yasha gather the jewel shards. Like any good dog, Inu Yasha was loyal to his first true love, Kikyo. He knew that his decision had to be hurting Kagome but he would be damned if he was going to allow anyone else to have her as their own. Kagome was getting tired of all of Inu Yasha's jealousy, so when she found the demon with the last jewel shard she said goodbye to everyone in their group. Little did they know that Sesshoumaru was lurking in the forest waiting for his chance to finally get Kagome away from everyone. Kagome told everyone to leave otherwise she wouldn't have the nerve to go back to her time and never see them again, as they were finally out of hearing range (Inu Yasha already left to track down Kikyo) Sesshoumaru jumped out and kidnapped Kagome. He was surprised that she didn't fight for her freedom too much; he could not figure it out. She smiled internally at the thought that she was finally away from Inu Yasha and with Sesshoumaru, the Lord of the Western Lands.

 

“Why do you not fight for your freedom Priestess?” Sesshoumaru finally asked. All Kagome could do was to blush at his blunt question. “Am I supposed to be scared?” Kagome finally answered. “Its not like you will harm me, we both know that Inu Yasha doesn't care for me so what purpose would harming me have?” Sesshoumaru smirked at the thought of Inu Yasha with the clay Priestess and how stupid his younger half brother is to have chosen a clay corpse over the real living and breathing Priestess. However, he would not bring this knowledge to his attention for Sesshoumaru had other plans for Kagome then to have Inu Yasha rescue her. Sesshoumaru leaned his mouth to Kagome's ear and whispered ever so sweetly, “You should fear me for the thoughts I have planned to do with you later my Priestess!” With that comment he nibbled ever so softly on her ear and enjoyed her gasp and moan.

 

When they had finally arrived at the castle Kagome asked were Rin was, knowing that Sesshoumaru wouldn't do anything with the human child around. “She is with Jaken and his people.” At that moment Kagome actually was a little scared, she had been having romantic thoughts of what she might do should she ever to get the chance to be with the demon lord, but now that she had her chance his warning kept playing in the back of her head she didn't know if she should run or stay.

 

“You might want to run now, Priestess!” Sesshoumaru said as his eyes began to turn a slight red color. Envisioning his demon form taking shape and being ripped to pieces Kagome ran into the castle. She started cursing the gods that she so stupidly made everyone leave before she jumped down the well `no one is going to think about looking for me because they already think I am gone, I am in so much trouble and the stupid dog half breed is with that clay woman…..I need help!' Kagome thought.

 

While running through the castle corridors she didn't see Sesshoumaru but she knew he was right behind her at all times then suddenly as she rounded the corner a picture that was partially covered caught her attention and she no longer cared about who was following her. She pulled the sheet off the portrait to see what was covered, she gasped and took a step back and bumped into Sesshoumaru who had been right behind her. She turned to look at him with a puzzled expression on her face and turned back to the portrait of a young human girl wearing formal wear and a crown. The girl in the portrait looked a lot like Kagome except for the crescent moon symbol on her forehead and two crimson lines on both checks *similar to those of Sesshoumaru's*.

 

Kagome stated, “…Who...who is that girl in the portrait?” She blushed when she realized that she had asked with a slight hint of jealousy in her voice.

 

“It is you, if you must know. I painted it myself after our first encounter.” Sesshoumaru spat out. He turned to leave and peered over his shoulder and said, “If you are hungry follow me or you can just stay here and I will find you later.” Kagome followed with her head down trying to hide her blush and big smile. Sesshoumaru frowned he thought that he might have scared her off, he had meant to take that portrait down and give it to her as a mating present.

 

Dinner was really quiet and awkward, Kagome finally looked up at the demon lord that sat on the other side of the candle lit table and stated, “It was a beautiful portrait, and I am really honored that you would paint such a picture of me. May I ask why you had it hidden? Or why I was wearing a crown?”

 

“You ask too many questions, it is time to eat. I will tell you in all due time.” stated the demon lord. He was use to getting his way and didn't realize that he was treating her like his servants. He looked up and said, “Thank you though; I am pleased that you liked your portrait.” Kagome smiled and they finished their dinner in silence.

 

After dinner a servant approached Kagome to escort her to her room for the night but Sesshoumaru stopped her and said that the plans had changed and that he would show her to her new quarters. Kagome couldn't hear everything but she distinctly heard Sesshoumaru and the servant arguing about something and was surprised to see him allow her to talk to him in that manner.

 

“Who is that servant?” Kagome asked as they were on their way to her quarters.

 

“Why do you ask?” he looked at her.

 

“I was just wondering because I thought I saw you fighting with her and I didn't picture you as the type that would take that from someone who was beneath you.” she stated.

 

“She is the woman that helped raise me after my mother and father both died. She also helped me keep my Kingdom after my father was murdered by that human.” Sesshoumaru let out a low growl at the thought of his father's murderer.

 

Kagome asked, “Your father was killed by that man that loved Inu Yasha's mother right?” Sesshoumaru growled again only louder and Kagome quickly apologized and finished walking in silence.

 

When they finally reached her quarters she was so tired. Sesshoumaru showed her were everything was and that she can call for either a servant or even him (if she wanted) to come to her aid. Kagome was confused because she thought that his quarters were going to be beside hers. “Aren't you staying on this side with me?”

 

“No this is the guest wing, I am on the far end of the castle but if you need me I will be here in a matter of a few seconds.” On that note he took her hand and gently kissed it and said his farewells for the night and departed to his chambers.
