Alright this will be a Sesshomaru/Kikyou fic Yay. And in this story she isn't dead.
Disclaimer: no I don't own Inuyasha.
The great lord of the western lands Sesshomaru a name that is feared by both demons and humans alike. The demon lord walks through the forest aimlessly. He is missing something or rather someone very important to him. The mysterious and beautiful woman named Kikyou; a priestess, a human, and also the keeper of his heart. It has been a little over a month since the last time he had seen her. He wondered how she was. If she was thinking of him if he did no know but he wondered. He stared into the sky all of his thoughts were revolving around her. Normally he would hate himself for caring for a human. But Kikyou wasn't just some human and he knew that.
It was Kikyou who had decided to distance herself from him. He hadn't argued with her although deep down he hadn't been thrilled about it. she could be anywhere right now she could be hurt or worse. Yet he kept his cool and relaxed appearance. "My lord shouldn't we stop soon." He heard Jaken's voice. Sesshomaru glanced back at him. He hadn't any intention on stopping. He could continue on for days without any rest. Sesshomaru looked to see how exhausted Rin was and his expression softened a little. He couldn't help but think about what Kikyou would think of him if he let Rin continue on like this.
"We shall rest here for the night."
"Oh thank you Lord Sesshomaru." Rin breathed a sigh of relief. Before too long the sun was gone from view. Rin had long since fallen asleep even Jaken had ceased his annoying rants. Sesshomaru could finally breathe in relief. Only there was still someone on his mind. Kikyou had been on his mind, his Kikyou. He was starting to doubt if he would ever see her again. He was seconds away from closing those amber eyes. Suddenly a familiar scent caught his attention. Almost instantly he sprang up kicking Jaken in the stomach. "Watch Rin I will be back shortly."
Without waiting another second he had run off. He stopped when he came to the river. He wondered where the hell she was. He then noticed her sitting up in a nearby tree her back was turned to him. Sesshomaru approached her carefully. She looked so beautiful and angelic as she slept. Well it looked as if she was sleeping. Of course he knew very well that she wasn't. He watched as mahogany brown eyes opened and met his gaze. "Sesshomaru." She spoke in a whisper.
"Kikyou it has been awhile."
She sat up still looking down at the face of the handsome lord. The face of the male that she loved dearly she had thought of him constantly. She wondered how both he and Rin were doing. She had missed them both they were her family now. "It's good to see you Sesshomaru." That was it no warm embrace especially after having not laid eyes on each other for such a long time. She seemed distant to him like she needed to talk. With one quick and graceful leap he sat up in the tree besides her. His eyes focused on her like a camera. The answer to why she was acting like this became clear to him. Sesshomaru decided to wait just to see if she would admit it to him first.
"Did you give any more thought to what I asked you?" he said suddenly.
"Yes I have."
(Flashback)
Kikyou was seated on Sesshomaru's lap his arms were wrapped around her protectively. It was just the two of them gazing up into the stars. Kikyou had to admit it was a really lovely night. And here she was with Sesshomaru could anything be more perfect. "It's a beautiful night." Kikyou mentioned.
"It is not nearly as beautiful as you are." He whispered. She blushed slightly as he held her closer. This was a truly perfect moment normally Sesshomaru wasn't this expressive. He had opened up to her more than he had with anyone else. He had showed her many emotions that few didn't believe that he had. It felt good to know that she was that special to him. That he was able to show her love and be himself at the same time. She loved him and he knew it. That was all really needed to know.
"Kikyou I wish to ask you something."
"Yes Sesshomaru what is it?"
"I wish for you to become my mate. It will be just you and I forever. Kikyou I love you and only you." He admitted.
(End of flashback)
She had never given him an answer that day. Her heart was screaming for her to tell him yes. She wanted to tell Sesshomaru that she wanted to be with him forever. For some reason no words could be formed. Now she was ready to give him an answer to his question. "I had a lot of time to myself. I was able to come to terms with a lot of things. And I wish to remain with you and Rin. I'll be yours forever Sesshomaru." She said in almost a whisper.
He pulled Kikyou close not intending on letting her go. That was the answer that he had been hoping for and now it was true. He wouldn't have to dream about it anymore. They would always be together nothing would ever come between them. "Kikyou Rin has spoken of you frequently."
"Yes and I have missed her as well she is like a daughter to me. Sesshomaru I have something that I need to tell you. It has been kept from you for long enough." He knew what was coming next. She was a little surprised but nevertheless thrilled beyond words. He wondered why she hadn't told him before she left. Sesshomaru began to realize she left because she didn't know how to tell him.
"Sesshomaru I' am with child. You of course would know that already." He placed his hand over her stomach. She wasn't showing yet. He knew when a female was pregnant especially since it was indeed his unborn child in there. He smiled a little it was barely visible but she saw it.
"Yes I know. Kikyou you'll be the perfect mother. I will do everything in my power to make sure that you and our child are safe and content." She leaned over into his shoulder. He closed the little space by placing his arm around her. He and Kikyou were just reunited and now there was this news. They had much to celebrate when they got back to the castle. He noticed that she had fallen asleep this would be the time to mark her. She wouldn't feel it as much since she was asleep. He turned her slightly rubbing his claw over her bare flesh. He then bit down on the part in the middle of her neck and shoulder. She moved a little but she did not awaken. He then took her into her arms carrying her back to the campsite.
"Kikyou you are mine and I' am yours." He said softly.
The next morning Sesshomaru felt Kikyou's forehead. She was very warm she was just fine last night. It must have had something to do with her pregnancy. Rin was now awake and decided to see that Kikyou had returned. "Ah Kikyou's here; Lord Sesshomaru why isn't she waking up?"
"I'm afraid that Kikyou is not feeling well."
"Honestly were wasting time on this human woman." Jaken muttered. Sesshomaru glared at him causing him to shut up at once. Kikyou shifted in her sleep a little she soon opened her eyes. She focused her attention on to Rin and Sesshomaru.
"Kikyou your awake I'm glad."
"Rin how are you?"
"I'm better and I'm also very glad that your back." Sesshomaru helped Kikyou up. It was clear that she wasn't feeling well. He wasn't even sure if she could make the journey back to the castle. She stumbled a little holding on to Sesshomaru for support. "You are too weak to travel. You are going to have to allow me to carry you."
"No Sesshomaru I'm fine please do not worry." There was nothing that he could do to stop her. She had a fighter's spirit. So they walked on with Rin happily talking with Kikyou and Jaken trailing behind them bitterly. In the distance Sesshomaru could hear a demon approaching. He unsheathed Tokijin quickly while Kikyou reached for an arrow. "Kikyou what are you doing?"
There out of the bushes came the demon. Sesshomaru ran over to it slicing it in half. Kikyou sensed the presence of another demon. She turned around preparing to release an arrow. She suddenly felt dizzy holding her head. "Kikyou?" Sesshomaru killed the demon in an instant. Kikyou was about to fall he leaned over and caught her in his arms. He had never seen her seen her like this before. She was always very strong apparently not this time.
"Sesshomaru?" she whispered. And then she faded into complete darkness. "Kikyou what has happened to you?" he wondered. He picked her up planning to carry her all the way to the western lands. From there he would hire the best doctors. His mate's life was at stake he would not lose her or their baby. Sesshomaru walked off with Rin and Jaken following behind him. "We will have to get her some medical attention quickly."
