Life is really unfair, isn't it ? :(

But I hope you will enjoy this new chapter. I hope to have some comments it's really important for me to know what you guys thinks of it…

 

Previously in the chapter 8 :

Kagome awaked in a room that Lord Sesshomaru reserved for her stay and even a personal servant.

She come in the dinner room for the lunch and received some…unexpected reactions. She quited the table with the kids.

Sesshomaru quite too because Hiro, Lord of the North and old friend, make fun on him……

 

 

Chapter 9 :

Happening again

 

Sesshomaru walk in the corridor and try to breath deeply for calming his nerves. Definitively, if Hiro wasn't his friend, an old friend of him and his father before him, he would have killed him to make fun of the Lord of the Western Lands in front of all the others Lords and the representative of the tribes.

He can't kill him for that, he is the Lord of the Northern lands but Kami knows how much he was tempted. That's why he left the room, to avoid to make a mistake.

 

Still walking, deep in through, he heard laughters coming from one of gardens and machinely, without thinking, he walks towards them.

 

When he reach it, he stops froze and look.

Here, in the garden swimming in the sun light, with flowers and butterflies flying around are the reason of the little joke and tease of Hiro : the young Miko.

Kagome is there, her kimono raised above her knees with one hand to permite her to run around, laughting and giggling with the children running around her. The sun touch like a caress her ebony hair, making them shine. All of that, the flowers, the butterflies, the children laughting, the sun make her look like like an angel something too beautiful to be real. Something coming from a fairy tale or a dream but not the hard reality. The dark green silky kimono make a perfect contrast with her creamy and smouth skin of her beautiful legs…

Sesshomaru stay there, without moving, just watching the young miko interact with the children. He doesn't know why he doesn't leave, it is like he is in a kind of transe. All he can do is watching her. He doesn't even react when he can feel his inner beast make a sound of approbation and admiration of the spectacle in front of his eyes. No, this time he cannot deny it : the show she gave to his eyes, without knowing it, is the most beautiful he never saw in his long life.

 

Kagome didn't seems to feel his presence, too occupied obviously. She stops running. She seems exausted. He saw her say something to the children, surely to keep going without her. They hug her legs and Rin propose to pick flowers for her. Kagome smile down at her. Shippo seems anxious to see her tired so rapidly but she assure him that she is ok, just a little exausted. She ask him to protect Rin when she is not here. The young kitsune puff with pride to have an important mission, his antic making giggle Kagome who brush tenderly his hair. She ask Kirara to stay with them who nodd.

 

She leave them and walk toward the castle, her head down, deep in through. When she reach the top of the little stairs leading inside, she lift her head finding herself almost face to face with the Lord of the place. She rapidly let go the bottom of her kimono and arrange it quickly hiding her beautiful creamy and silky legs from the eyes of the demon Lord. Their eyes lock

 

« Hi Sesshomaru, can I do something for you ? »

She is a little uneasy under the deep and captiving golden eyes. His eyes are still on her so intense that you could think he could read her very soul. After a little silence :

 

« Jaken will watch the children. You better don't run too much, you are still weak ».

 

She almost answer him something but reclose her mouth. He is right, she feel weak even if the through disturb her.

 

« Hai » she said softly her head down.

 

When she raise her head, he was gone. She was surprised because his voice wasn't like always like ice, often harsh. No this time, his deep voice was like a little smouthy but she shake her head it is not like if he care. That was just my imagination.

She walk in the corridors and finish to fell nose to nose with the wolf prince.

 

« Hi Kouga-kun »

 

« Hi, Kagome. Aren't you with the children ? »

 

« I was but I'm feeling a little tired still so I let them play and decided to explore a little since I didn't see a lot of the place »

 

« Care to have some company ? »

 

She smile « of course not, Kouga-kun »

 

He flash her with his beautiful smile, his blue eyes sparking.

 

They walk like that, speaking and laughting a lot. Kagome hadn't feel so alive since months. They continu their way, unaware that all of their moves are observed. They end in the central court.

After a moment, they stop and Kagome turn toward him. He look at her with a questionning glance. She smile brithly, so warm to see so much care in the eyes of her friend

 

« Thanks Kouga-kun »

 

« What for ? » he ask, puzzled

 

« For being there for me. You can't even imagine how much the last mouths was difficult and how happy I am to be here with you. I miss you so mush »

 

Without thinking, she through herself in his arms, nuzzling his neck and sigh of happiness.

During some seconds, he doesn't move but finish but returning her embrace fiercefully like if his life depend of it, with a little shadow of pink on his cheeks. How many times did I dream to be able to have her in my arms like that. Just having her like that make me happy like nothing else. Why the feelings don't disappear with the time but are almost more powerful than the day she leave.

He tight his embrace and nuzzle her neck too. He take deep inspirations. How he love this smell, her smell. Her smell is like a soft caress and harm which surround him. He breath again deeply and his heart race increase, how he would like that the time could stop now.

 

But he come out of his dreamly transe when he heard her giggle

 

« Kagome ? »

 

« You know, that's bizarre »

 

He doesn't understand. She adds

« It's bizarre that you can take me in your arms like that… »

 

But she doesn't have the time to finish to speack than he try to end the hug but she let go just enough to see his face

« I'm sorry Kagome. I shouldn't have do that, I don't want to make you uneasy, I… »

 

She cut him « It's not that. It's not what I wanted to say, silly. In fact, I'm feeling quite very well where am I now. »

 

He smile and nuzzle her neck again. « Me too »

 

They blush.

 

« But you still don't understand, do you ? »

 

« No »

 

She giggle at his voice, like ashamed to not understand her.

 

« Ok, How many times before today, have you got the possibility of doing that ? »

 

He didn't even reflect before respond « Never. There is always InuYasha to prevent me to… Oh ok I understand now. (He smirk in her neck) I through about that too during the reunion when I take you in my arms. At this moment, it was like I waited to feel a hit on my head be yelled on me and be jerk away from you. »

 

She giggle.

 

After a moment :

 

« You know, I could stay like that all the day »

 

« Oh that's good since I have nothing planning to do for today » he said, grinning

 

Without special reason, he raise his glance from her delicious skin of her neck to watch behind her. There, behind Kagome, there is a youkai, from the guards of Sesshomaru apparently because of his clothes, a bow in his hands, an arrow toward them.

He didn't have the time to reflect or register what he saw that that arrow fly. So He do the only thing he can think about and swivel, protecting the most important thing of his life, Kagome. The arrow came and pierce his back. Kagome raise her glance and watch, over Kouga's shoulder and see the guard. Their eyes showing their shock.

 

Kouga pass one of his hands in his back and tear off the arrow, hissing in pain. He feel his head a little light. The only reason that he still stand it is because he is support against Kagome. She come out of her transe when she heard him hiss and scream. Her scream can be heard all over the place.

Some guards arrive and gasps, like the Lords and Ladys and some servants who come out of the castle. They saw Kouga being put down delicatly on the ground.

 

« Are you alright ? »

 

« What ?? (She says in disbelief) Of course I'm alright. You are the one who take the arrow…….At my place, am I right ? »

 

« Yeah…Everything for my Kagome » He try to smile at her but hiss in pain

 

« Oh no Kouga no !! You have no right to do that. Don't die » She sobbs

 

« Don't worry Kagome, I will be fine. »

 

But the pain become more and more powerful making difficult to hid it. He hiss again.

 

« Kouga ! Please don't leave me. Please,…you are the only one still alive so you have to stay with me….Don't leave me (she cry, tears running freely on her cheeks) I will not be able to continue if you die too,..if you die on me. It's all my fault »

 

« Don't say that and stop crying please, you know I'm like him for at least this thing. I can't bear to see you cry. Please, stop »

 

« Can't help… Why did you do that ? » her voice trembling

 

He give her a tiny smile « It is not oblivious ? My feeling had not change, you know. Not at all and surely they will never change in all my life. I prefer die than see you hurt Kagome, my Kagome » He finished by raising one hand and caress tenderly her cheek to try to calm her.

 

« You can't say things like that. Ayame… »

 

« Ayame knows what I feel. She knows that even if you will never be mine like I have always wanted, the feelings inside me for you are stronger than ever and will never disappear. She accepted it before becoming my mate. We do that because that was good to link our tribes together, nothing more….Stop crying Kagome, please »

 

She take his hand in hers, try to calm down and nodd.

 

The two of them didn't see that everyone observe them. When Ayame saw Kouga injured, she try to go toward them but was stop by Sesshomaru. He said to stay away from them, that it was not finish. Ayame look at him puzzled, like some others. When she heard their conversation, she can't help the hurt in her heart, but didn't move.

 

~back to Kouga and Kagome~

 

« Don't worry, I will be fine. I'm youkai remember »

 

« Yeah, yeah. You heal more rapidely than mere and pathetics humans like me. »

 

He smirk « I'm under the impression that you already heard that before…quite a lot too, ne ? »

 

She smile too « Hai, each time. »

 

At this moment, a mouvement catch her eyes and she raise her glance. The guard didn't move from his spot, probabely from the shock to have injured the Wolf Prince.

Kouga feels and see her tense

 

« Kagome ? »

 

There is fire in her eyes : « Kouga-kun, don't move. Please don't move. »

 

She get up without leaving contact eyes with the guard.

 

« How could you ! » her anger raise

 

« He shouldn't have been hurt…How a youkai prince can almost give his life for something so pathetic like an human like you ! You don't have the right to be here »

 

« Someone like me…Someone like me !!! I'm here for help, you bastard ! Your race is in danger so I came for help and for thank you I received you who don't know me, trying to kill me !?! »

 

Her anger increase again violently, the wind start to blow, silent tears running on her cheeks

 

« And you hurn Kouga !!! »

 

The others around seems to feel that and watch each others with anxious glances.

 

« K-Kagome…don't do that…please calm down I'm fine. Remember where you are and who is around you »

 

She look at him, and cry again

 

« Kouga-kun I can't loose you…I just can't. and I can't control it…you are hurt because of me »

The wind calm down

 

« No, it's not your fault. You are not the one who hurt me…You have to calm down. You don't want to exterminate all the people in this castle, do you ? »

 

She shook her head and the wind die.

 

During this time, the guard come back from the shock and prepare a new arrow in his bow. He will not miss his target this time.

 

« Okaa-san !!!! » scream Shippo running but he is stop by the Lord of the North.

She raise her head just in time to see the arrow be release and flying toward her heart. A pink light appear in her eyes. She raise an hand and the arrow is stop by a barrier.

 

« Shippo don't come closer. It's dangerous for you » she said without rompt eyes contact with the guard.

 

This time the wind appear more violently and rapidly, with a power amazing.

The others guards look at Sesshomaru nerviously but he didn't move, and stay put looking at her.

« If you want to live, don't interfer » he said to anyone who can heard him. The guard frowled.

 

« Why ? »

 

The guards look at her too.

 

« Why do you want so badly kill me ? You don't even know me» she said with strangely her voice showing her hurt when her eyes show her rage

 

« You have no right to be here, you human ! I don't have to explain myself in front of a one like you. You must die ! And I'm not the only one thinking that »

 

« And why must I die ? Because I'm here at Sesshomaru's home, because I'm human ? Because I killed Naraku ? Because I come here to help you to survive at this new menace ? Why ?? »

 

« You don't Killed Naraku. It is a liar ! »

 

« Really ? Ask Sesshomaru, ask Shippo, ask Kirara, ask Jacken or Ah Uhn or Rin or better ask the man you just almost killed !!! » Her power increase again, her body start to be surround by pink light and pinky flammes dance in her eyes

« You try to kill me. It happens often, not new, I'm used to that…but you injured one of my friends and for that… »

 

« Youkais can't be friends with pathetic creature such as humans ! »

 

She heard sometinhg behind her. It's Kouga who try to get up

« Kouga-kun » she whispers

 

« If this wolf really think what he said he must die for the insult he made to all the youkais !!! » he scream, preparing a new arrow.

 

This time, her anger can't be contain. She look at Sesshomaru rapidly, pleading with her eyes for his pardon. He didn't say a thing, just look at her.

 

She erect a barrier around her and the guard quickly, prying that this will be enough

 

« I will never let you or anyone like you kill him !!! »

When she scream that, a wave of purification erupt from her, making the interior of the barrier just pink light. The guard just had the time to open wide eyes before the blinding pink light explode in the barrier, obliging all the observators to close their eyes.

When the light disappear there is only the young miko. The guard is nothing but hashes.

 

She turn around and walk slowly toward Kouga and collapse next to him, unconscious. Kouga came more close to her and whisper her name with so mush longing. He caress her hair tenderly. He can't believe what happened. She did that for him ? Just for him ? He look at her with the softiest glance. He can't help the wave of harm which spread in his body. He know she doesn't feel the same way than him for her but she care for him deeply. She just show it.

 

« Kagome ! » « Kagome-sama ! »

Shippo and Rin run toward her unmoving form.

 

It is at this moment that the others react. Ayame run with tears in her eyes, following by the Lady of the North who have her eyes watering too and the Lord.

 

Most of the people present still can't believe their eyes and even more shock that she created a barrier to not hurt anyone else.

The eyes of Sesshomaru leave her and turn to look at the servents behind him.

 

« You will carry the wolf prince in his room and same thing for the Miko. And call the healer. » and he leave.

 

Without thinking they come and help Kouga in his feet. But before leave he make them stop and squat beside her. He remove some hair which had fell on her face and caress tenderly with the back of his hand the cheek of the Miko. He whispers softly « Thank you, Kagome » with tears in his eyes.

 

With that the servants help him and carry him in his room, Ayame following.

 

The servants seem hesitant to touch the Miko. Yusomi push two of them and try to carry Kagome alone.

« Kagome-sama…Kagome-sama can you hear me ? »

 

Silence.

 

Others servants come to help her and they carry the young Miko in her room.

The children following and crying.

End of the chapter 9.

 

AN : Hi everybody ! sorry to have take so mush time to update. I will try to update sooner next time, I promise.

It's just it is summer and all…and I have three others stories in mind ! I start to tape the first chapter so you will be able to say if you want me to continu or not. I have a lot of ideas so I hope you will like it.

For this story, what do you think ? I know it is long and not a lot of things happened until now and the relation between our beautiful demon lord and the Miko didn't evolve a lot but don't worry that will little by little. I don't like stories which start with «  I hate you and want to kill you » and five second later «  I love you and I want to …. You », if you see what I mean ;)

Things will happen…but that will not be easy. But you will see, you will see… :)

 

I really hope and will appreciate if I have some commentaries. Your support and what you think is really important for me. I thank the few who did it.

So you understand….please review review review !

Thanks and take care
