InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Unexpected Gift of Destiny ❯ How it all Begins ( Chapter 2 )

`Why. . . why. . . why Inuyasha, why!?! Wasn't I good enough for you? Do you look at me only as a shard detector? Worse, as Kikyou herself? Why can't you see the love I'm giving you? You promised. . . you promised you'll protect me always. . . and you've broken that! I thought you were true to your word, Inyasha. I though you were true! Ne, tell me. Was that promise really for me, or for Kikyo? Who do you see in me, Inuyasha? Me as Kagome Higurashi, or that walking corpse of yours? Did you even consider me as a friend, or just some piece of tool to find those damm shards? Inuyasha. . . Inuyasha. . . Inuyasha!'

Kagome was now weeping uncontrollably due to the painful truth she had just discovered. She was sitting on the forest floor, her back leaning on a tree, while her legs pulled up to her chest.

The cold, yet soothing wind caressed the young girl, as if saying everything will be okay, at the same time, making her shiver in her loneness. That's when a tingling sensation came up her spine, not because of the forest wind, but because of a youkai nearby. Kagome looked up to see the Lord of the Western lands, Sesshoumaru approaching her.

*Sesshoumaru's POV *

I arrived to the place where I sensed the powerful energy came from, only to smell the scent of my half-brother's human wench. Although I couldn't believe a human would do that, I still wanted to confirm my suspicions.

That's when I heard sniffing and sobbing cries. I turned to see who it was, only to see the hanyou's wench, herself. Without that half breed around her, I decided to test her, to see if she really was that source power, without any included interruptions.

I then gaily approached her. At first, she didn't sensed me, due to the pain and sorrow, I smelled in her. But as I came closer, she looked up, finally sensing a demon nearby.

Curiosity got the best of me, as I wondered why the woman in front of me, was crying with such pain, although I could smell no injuries coming from her.

*~*~*~*~*

"Human! Why do you fret so? Needless to say I have smelled you, and there are no sign of any injuries. But still, you cry there in pain. Tell me, what is the cause of your distress?"

At first, Kagome just sat there in silence, not believing what she had just heard. The great Taiyoukai of the West, wanting to understand the pain, caused by the troublesome emotion called love. She then smiled, and chuckled softly at the thought.

The demon lord, having such sensitive hearing, heard the soft chuckle of the young miko. In a flash, he had the miko pinned to a tree, with his claws clutching her throat.

"You dare mock me, wench! This Sesshoumaru, did not find anything funny, so what is it that you find amusing?"

Kagome just remained there, silent and unmoving. Losing his patience with the human in front of him, he was about to strike the miko with his claws, when she spoke.

"You."

"I didn't think the great Inu-youkai of the West would understand such things about love. Having someone like yourself, being so cold and emotionless to everything. I found it amusing, because you wanted to understand love, when you yourself don't accept it. So how would you understand such things?" finished Kagome.

Sesshoumaru got angry at her words and said,

"Wench! You'll pay for such insolence! Torturing you, wouldn't enough, but your death can become a reasonable price!"

The great demon lord, once again prepared to strike the human girl, when suddenly, a white light engulfed them. They floated in mid air for a moment, then was settled back down. It was the Inu-youkai, who was the first to speak.

"Miko! What did you do? What sorcery did you conjured just now?"

When Kagome didn't respond, being surprised herself, Sesshoumaru slightly clawed her skin, at her neck as a warning, that if she won't answer, he will soon kill her.

But this surprised the demon himself, when he also felt his neck, beginning to bleed. Kagome saw this, and that's when realization hit the both of them. They were now both bonded to each other. When one gets hurt, the other one does too. At this point, Kagome now fully understood what the reptile demon said.

`This is my curse. . . my punishment. . . my DESTINY in his death!'
