What changed him
I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter;1 Encounter
Kagome walked hand and hand alongside Inuyasha feeling her heart beat fast. She loved being with him. She loved how she felt so protected by him, like nothing could ever hurt her while staying by his side. He looked at her with a calming eyes, he felt peaceful with her, but something felt off, he couldn't place what it was, but then it hit him.
"Kikyō…" Inuyasha said in a whisper. Kagome stopped and just looked down at the ground, she dropped his hand and stepped away from him, she couldn't handle it anymore. They had been together since she was 18, and now he was leaving her once again.
"Kagome…I have to-" before he could finish Kagome ran away. She ran as fast as she could, and as long as she could before her legs gave out. Instead of following her, Inuyasha followed Kikyō's scent, he knew she was alive, he had hoped for it. Kagome made it to a river bank and just sat at the edge. ' Four years I've been with him, but he still leaves me for her. I love him, can't he see that?' Kagome thought. Her heart felt like it shattered into a million glass pieces.
"That stupid Inuyasha! I can't take this anymore! I'm done!" She screamed, letting anger take over her. She then stuck her feet in the water and felt the cool water tickle her feet. Kagome became lost in her thoughts and didn't notice the spiritual pressure coming near her, until seconds before the Neko yōkai came.
"What the-"
"Hi little Miko…." Kagome looked at the Neko yōkai. It was light brown and tall with purple markings on it's face.
"Who are you and what do you want with me?"
"I want power what else is there? If I kill you I will gain that."
"I won't let you get the satisfaction of killing me." Kagome shot the arrow and missed! How could she miss? The Neko was tremendously fast. She reached for another arrow and shot it, barely scratching the demon.
"Someone is a little off." He mocked liking his wound. The Neko yōkai grabbed Kagome and threw her against a tree. She immediately felt blood trickle down her head and slid down to the ground. A dark cloud loomed over her as she began to loose consciousness. She was able to put up a pink barrier to protect herself, but for how long? She laid on the ground with a pounding headache and a burning sensation in her leg. Looking down with blurred vision she could make out what looked like a gash in her leg. 'Will Inuyasha come? Does he know I'm hurt?….He probably doesn't care. He can stay with that cold, heartless, clay pot, whore for all I care.' She thought as her eyes began to flutter shut.
She woke up later that night in a warm bed. An actual bed, she hadn't slept in one since she went home….she missed her home so much. She got up and examined the room carefully. The room was big with golden walls and white silk blinds. The bed had a wooden type frame and there was fur covering the king size bed. Fear set in, she was an in unknown place, and she didn't have her weapon. Kagome got up and tried to walk but stumbled to the ground, she looked at her leg and saw it wrapped in bandages. 'What's going on?' The door opened to reveal an inu yōkai . He was around 5'10 with medium length white hair. His eyes were the color of emeralds and he was slender but had a toned body. He walked over to Kagome and tried to help her up, but she tried to back away from him. He looked at her questioningly before speaking.
"It's okay. You need not be afraid. I'm here to help you." His voice was calm and soothing.
"Who are you? Where Am I?"
"My name is Kenta, and you are in the Western castle."
"Western castle? That means…." Before she could finish her sentence he walked in. Kagome's eyes grew wide as she saw the familiar figure in the door way.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagome said, her voice sounded as though she couldn't believe he was really there. Why was she in his castle? What was he planning?
"Why am I here? If you're looking for Inuyasha, I don't know where he is, so what ever you had planned is futile." Kagome said with bitterness in her voice. Sesshomaru said nothing and simply walked away.
"Did…he save….me?" Kagome looked at Kenta as he helped her up and sat her on the bed.
"Yes, he didn't tell us much, just to tend to your wounds." 'It does make any sense, why am I here? He hates everyone, especially humans.'
"But…he hates me…why, why would he save me?"
"I honestly do not know what my lord is thinking." Kagome stayed silent and became lost in her thought. Kenta unwrapped her bandages and turned to grab new ones. As he finished wrapping her leg there was a knock at the door. Kenta walked over it and saw a little girl who looked as though she was 14 years old. The girl ran over to Kagome and hugged her. She wore a red kimono with black flowers on the sleeves.
"Kagome, I've missed you so much." The girl said.
"I've missed you too…..Rin?" Kagome said hesitantly. The girl looked up and smiled.
"So you do remember me! That makes me so happy!" The girl said as she hugged Kagome tighter.
"Of course. You've grown to become such a beautiful young woman." Kagome examined the now teenager. Rin was now around 5'3 and had long black hair down to her waist. She started to develop and had a slim figure. Kagome laid her hand on top of Rin's head and gave her a warm smile.
"Kagome is it true you came here to help raise me so I can become a proper human?"
"Um….who let you in on the….surprise?" Kagome said not trying to make it obvious that she had no idea what the girl was talking about.
"Lord Sesshomaru told me he arranged for you to teach me to be a proper human. He said being around so many demons isn't fit for me, and that I need to leaner the way of my people."
"Oh, um...yeah he's right..."
"Rin, lets give Lady Kagome some time to rest."
"Okay Kenta, goodbye Kagome, see you tomorrow." Rin said letting her go and walking out the room.
"Lady Kagome, what would you like to eat?" Kenta said
"It doesn't really matter…"
"I will prepare your meal right away, Lady Kagome." Kenta walked out of the room. 'Why would Sesshomaru tell Rin that? I don't get it he first saves me, now this…..What's going on in his mind? What's he planning?' Kagome sat confused by it all. On the other side of the castle Sesshomaru stood in his office looking over old scrolls when he heard a knock.
"Enter." Sesshomaru said glancing at the door. Haru walked in, he was Kenta's older twin brother, and Sesshomaru's best friend. The only way to tell him and Kenta apart was the fact that Haru had sapphire eyes. They looked as blue as the ocean.
"Lord Sesshomaru, may I ask why there is a human here, and she's a miko at that?" Sesshomaru remained silent, walked over to his desk, sat down and looked at Haru.
"Rin needs to learn to be a human, she is around to many demons and needs guidance."
"Is that really it? She's here to help the young human child?"
"You dare question this Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Not at all my lord, please forgive me. I simply wanted to know if the Miko will be held as a prisoner."
"Leave her be."
"Yes my lord." Haru bowed and quickly exited the room. Right after Sesshomaru's mother Megumi walked in and sat down next to her son.
"Do you mind telling me why there is a lowly human woman here?"
"Do not start with this Lord Sesshomaru."
"Do not talk to me as if I am one of those servants, now I will ask again why is she here?"
"Rin needs someone to teacher her, as a demon I can not do such a thing."
"Hmm, are you really doing this in hopes that, that half-breed brother of yours will show up?"
"Perhaps."
"I am the one that has raised you, I know you all to well."
"You know not of who I am. You may have raised me but do remember, I can fool anyone."
"That is true, but you can not simply fool me. If that human wench causes me trouble I will not hesitate to kill her, you will have to lure Inuyasha here some other way." With that Megumi left Sesshomaru to his thoughts, leaning back his inner demon began to talk.
Do you honestly think that Miko does not see past all of this?
'It will not surprise this Sesshomaru any if she does she past it all.'
Honestly you make no sense, you recuse her, make her teach Rin the way of a human, and for what? To get Inuyasha, surely there is some other way to get him.
'That wench is the only means of getting close to him, you should know that.'
I believe there is more to it than what you lead on.
'Oh, and what other motive shall there be?'
You know as well as I do.
'I am your master, you do not question this Lord Sesshomaru.'
As my master, you should know that I am simply looking out for you, I only have your best interest in mind.
Is that so?
*A/N: For future clarification, Naraku is dead, Kikyō never died and Sesshomaru lives with his mother so...yeah...what do you think please review?*
