Once again! I thank you all for the lovely reviews! I hope I haven't worried you guys too much on the whole 'What's gonig on between Sess and Kags'. I just want to make clear - there is a lot of pairings and povs - but there is a reason for this. The reason I chose this as a main focus between Sess and Kags, and because every character plays a huge part and each one has a huge impact on these two. I also want you guys to know each character as well, and to really feel for everyone.
So, no worries! Sess and Kags will be coming to light - and from the looks of it on this chapter... it's gonna be very soon. :)
So enjoy and please rate and review! Love you guys!
She felt nauseous beyond all reason as she sat by the toilet, waiting for the inevitable to occur. Her stomach toss and turned, releasing everything inside which wasn’t very much. How could she get sick? It made no sense to her one bit. Being outside for a while couldn’t have caused this much trouble, could it?
Resting the back of her head against the wall, inhaling once more trying to not puke anymore. Everything was beginning to get to her. Everything from smells to sounds to the lights. She didn’t have a headache, or a fever - so puking shouldn’t be happening right now.
Frustrated, she opened her eyes as she continued to hear the light tapping on the bathroom door. She knew if she didn’t say anything, the prince wouldn’t stop tapping anytime soon. Finally giving in, she spoke up. “I am alright Sesshoamru. Go with the others, I will be there shortly.”
He wasn’t having it. His Satomi was sick and locked in the bathroom puking. Refusing, he gave the door a final tug and opened to see his best friend sitting on the floor with barely much clothes to cover her body. It seemed she may have had an accident. Luckily, he held their blanket in his hand and walked over to her. “I am not leaving without you, understand?” He stated, wrapping her around in the blanket.
Rolling her eyes, she decided to go ahead and humor the male. Feeling the blanket around her shivering shoulders, she finally felt somewhat warm. She could be running a fever, who knew? Sighing, she finally looked up to see Sess sitting right before her. “How was the talk with Kagome?” Small talk should be nice until this terrible illness passes by, right?
He shrugged his shoulders. “It went fine. I am to teach her how to ski.”
Smiling, she kicked her foot up against his knee and smirked. “Do you like her?”
“You truly are ill, and probably close to dying for you to say such a foul thing.” He claimed, glaring his eyes towards the hazel eyed beauty. “But I will admit, I don’t dislike her. She shows a strong character. Contradicting for the most part.”
Chuckling, she shrugged back and finally felt her stomach easing again. “Well, why do you say that?”
“She presents herself as a loud bold girl, with a wild raw energy to her.” He answered, placing his elbow on his knee and resting his chin against his palm. “But she also shows a peaceful, calm side to her. One that is quite soothing and enjoyable to be around. When she isn’t speaking, she is very nice company.”
Glaring at the prince, she kicked his knee where his elbow was resting on and watched his head get knocked from his palm. “That’s what you get. She isn’t that bad, and you know it. Stop being just a sore butt.” She stuck her tongue out with a smile. “You should get to know her. You might actually come to really like her.”
Shrugging, he finally decided to drop the subject and focus on her illness. “Enough of that, let’s focus on what caused you to become ill.” Leaning forward, he pressed his lips against her forehead and froze instantly. His eyes widen in shock, he slowly pulled back to gaze into her eyes. “How can this-” his words making no sense, he lifted her up from the bathroom floor quickly and made their way to the bed.
Setting her down, he quickly pushed her onto her back and lifted up her tank top to reveal her stomach. “Sess? What’s wrong?” Ignoring her, he placed his nose against her flat tummy and took in a few sharp inhales, until he finally was certain. Swallowing hard, he lifted up and looked over to Satomi.
Fear drawing into her eyes, she shook her head and tried to deny what she saw in his eyes. At first she was worried she may be coming down with a very serious illness, but when he placed his nose on her stomach and took deep breaths - it was obvious. Her heart raced countless times, trying to find a reason for this. She was on the pill, and only a couple times her and Bank only had unprotected sex. They usually were always careful.
Tears pricking her eyes, she finally waited for the conformation. “Am I?” She whispered, her words breaking.
“Yes.” He confirmed, placing his head onto her lap with fear still locked into his eyes.
For anyone this would be ecstatic news, but not for them. Daisuke Hayashi would never allow for such a disgrace to occur. Clutching tightly to his Satomi, he finally whispered out to her. “What are you going to do? If your father finds out, he’d want it to be aborted immediately.” There was no place for error or mistake in her family. If the heir was to have a child without marriage, let alone even finish high school - she would be a great disgrace. Possibly even disowned.
Tears falling down, she shook her head and pulled her best friend up to her. Needing the hug more than anything, she sat there with him embracing her for all she was worth. “I don’t know Sess.” She cried out softly. “We can’t let my father know, not until we figure this out with Bank.” She sniffled, trying to keep her cries to a bare minimum noise.
Nodding, he continued holding her tightly against him. Together they sat on the bed, not breaking apart until they finally were calm enough to move. “For now, just pretend everything is normal. We will tell Bank when we are alone, alright.” She swallowed the lump in her throat as she slowly began to put on her snowboarding clothes.
“Understand.” He agreed. Looking over he noticed her clothing and glared. “You will not ski or snowboard. Got it?” He promised.
Chuckling, she looked over at him. “I’m not stupid, but I am not going to go out there and let Naraku catch on. The guy is very observant.” She stated firmly. Laughing, they both nodded in agreement before finally making their way outside and towards the group where they were.
It wasn’t long until they finally arrived to see the gang sitting at the benches by The Shop. The only store on top of the hill that sold all sorts of food and drinks, and merchandise. It was a great shop, and great hang out area.
Meeting up with them, Satomi raced over to her fiance. Sesshomaru was right behind her until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Stopping, he looked over to see a set of grey eyes looking up at him. “Hey. I was worried you’d change your mind.” Kagome gave a small laugh, as she looked down to check if she was dressed appropriately. Naraku bought her the proper gear, but she still was a bit self-conscious.
Completely forgetting he had a previous engagement, he looked over to see Satomi being embraced by Bank and slowly leaving away from the group. Clearing his throat, he looked back to the miko and gave a short bow. “I am sorry, but there is something I must do first.”
Before she could say anything else, she watched the prince leave after Satomi and Bank. Again, a shred of jealously filled her and she was beginning to wonder if she might be bipolar a bit. Why would she be jealous of his closeness with her cousin? It made no sense.
Shaking her head, she walked over to were Jak and Inuyasha was currently sitting and talking. “Hey guys.”
“I told you Jak, I am in this for the long haul. I made a move already, and I don’t intend on stopping just there.” Inuyasha tried convincing the flaming male.
Looking over to the miko, Jak smiled brightly and pulled her quickly to sit beside him instead of Inuyasha. Wrapping his arms around her, he finally looked over to Inuyasha and glared. “And what about school? Just cause you told your brother and Satomi, doesn’t mean anything. Are you going to walk with me in public? Show your affection publicly and not be in shame? Tell him Kagome that this is much more serious than just sweet nothings.” He frowned, placing his head on her shoulder while still glaring at his ex-lover.
She probably shouldn’t have come to the table. But now that she already made it and was clutched by two very strong arms, she shrugged and looked over to Inuyasha. “He’s right. You should prove it right now if you really want to be with him. You can’t be with someone if you are going to be ashamed of them. It’s not fair to either of you.”
Sighing, he nodded in agreement with the two. “As much as I like to wipe the slate clean and be very open, it’s still something I can’t do right off the bat. I love you Jak, and I don’t want you out of my life. The last thing I want to do is hurt you more than I already have, but I also want you to support me as well. I’m not brave like you are, and I respect you more than anything to be open about who you are. I guess all I am asking, you help me do the same.” Finally giving in as he looked up to his male.
Feeling his heart tightening, he held onto Kagome firmly until finally nodding but refusing to look at the hanyou in fear that he might cry. He wasn’t sad, nor upset that Inuyasha was still closested, but he was glad the male was taking the step because he truly wanted to be with him. It was the most heartfelt thing he ever had in his life, and all he could do right now was just nod and hold Kagome tightly to not cry.
Gathering his bearings, he finally let go of the miko and looked over to Inuyasha. Giving a tight lip smile, he looked up to the male and finally whispered. “At least try to hold my hand in public, until you are finally comfortable.” Chuckling, the hanyou nodded and quickly reached over to grab the male’s soft hands. “Love you Yasha.”
“Love you too, Jak.”
Watching in awe, the miko finally moved away from the two love birds and finally escaped. She felt happy for the two guys, but she seriously felt like a third wheel. Walking around the hang out area, she caught sight of Kagura sitting alone at a bench. She also saw Souta, Shippo, and Rin sitting with Naraku and chatting around. Confused a bit, she looked over to see where Miroku and Kikyo might be until she finally noticed the two in the far off distance practicing skiing.
Debating if she should join Kagura, she looked around once more for Sango and the others. Luckily her friend was easy to spot in the distance as well, skiing. ‘If only I knew how to ski, I would join.’ She thought to herself with a sigh. ‘I’d probably get a quicker lesson from Sango than Sesshomaru, but the last thing I want is another block separating us.’ Not like it would matter anyway, the guy was clearly following her cousin like a puppy. No pun intended.
“Hey Kagome!” A familiar voice called out behind her.
Turing around, she noticed Tsubaki in crutches and a unfamiliar elder man beside him. Smiling and waving, she walked over to the young boy. “Hey, Tsubaki-kun. Didn’t think you would be coming?” She smiled while keeping a close eye on the older gentleman.
He seemed very proper and held some class, especially with how he always kept his right hand placed behind him and his other straight beside him. She would have mistaken him as a butler, but the man was wearing a red snowboarding gear, and a Black Butler beanie. It really threw her off.
Chuckling, Tsubaki shrugged and replied back. “I had a doctor appointment the day everyone was leaving. I didn’t want to postpone the trip and said I’d travel right behind you guys. And my apologies, this is Ishida-san, Satomi’s personal butler. And the only butler allowed to take personal leave.” He informed, chuckling at the puzzled look on Kagome’s face.
“Butler?” So she was right, but it still threw her off by the way he was dressed.
“My apologies madam.” He bowed his head. “It was very rude of me to not introduce myself immediately. I tend to forget my manners when on vacation.”
His voice was so formal, and low and calm, it really fit the stereotypical butler agenda he had going on. Bowing her head in respect, she only nodded and proceeded to watch in amazement on how interesting he was. A snowboarding butler? Could it get anymore bizarre? “I’m Kagome Higurashi.” She managed to say seconds after.
“Oh, Hayashi-sama’s cousin, I presume? My sincerest apologies for my ill manners, Higurashi-sama.” He bowed once more.
Before she could tell him it was alright, she felt the presence of her cousin beside her, followed by the other two men - Bank and Sess. “Ishida! You made it!” Satomi shouted out as she raced up to the male and embraced him into hug. “Was the flight great for you and Tsu-kun?”
“Absolutely Hayashi-sama. It was a great flight indeed.” He informed as he returned the embrace.
“Cut the proper stuff. You are on vacation.” She chuckled as she finally let go.
“As you wish, Satomi-sama.” He smiled with a slight bow to his head.
Rolling her eyes, she waved the old man off where his face brightened with joy and left the group of younger kids. Chuckling, she finally turned her attention to Tsubaki. “So, how was the appointment?”
“Just can’t be on it for more than three hours.” He smiled while looking over to his brother. Moments after, the two brothers left - having Bank finding a suitable seat with the younger kids who were being entertained by Naraku.
“Great kid.” Satomi mumbled, finally looking over to her cousin. “Sorry we left you high and dry like that. We had to discuss some important issues that couldn’t be left alone. Seems that I gotten a stomach bug, but couldn’t let Sesshomaru ditch you on your date.” She winked with a devilish grin. “So, I am here so you two love birds can have fun.”
‘Date?’ Her eyes widen in completely shock. They weren’t on a date, well technically it was considered a date. Confused, she pressed her fingers against her eyes as she felt her cheeks burning from a embarrassing blush. She probably bet that Sesshomaru was blushing as well, but she wasn’t about to check it out anytime soon. “Satomi, we aren’t on a date. He just wants to teach me to ski.”
“Yeah, a date.” She stated finally looking over to Sess. “Alright, don’t let me hold you two back. Now, get going!” She pushed the prince over to the miko and smiled as Sess continued to glare over at her. ‘Keep glaring, you know this is what you want.’ She thought to herself with a grin.
Looking up at the prince, Kagome tried to figure out how to break the now tense atmosphere. She felt so embarrassed right now, and she could tell Sess was feeling the same. It was so humiliating. Reaching a nice open area, Sess finally pulled them to a stop. Looking around everywhere else but her, he spoke up with an uneasy tone. “I will get our equipment. Stay here.”
Nodding, she watched as the prince left - leaving her completely surrounded by tons of people. Some were learning while others were more experienced. It was a great environment if she wasn’t so terrified of being crashed into and dying. Well, the last part she could be exaggerating but it was possible. Sitting down, she decided to take a couple deep breaths - enjoying the icy air filling her lungs and calming her down completely. It was remarkable how the winter always calmed her soul.
She always found it so peaceful and beautiful. To her, even with her spunky and outspoken side, this weather was her center. Just like the water was her life. Everything calmed her to the point where nothing moved. It was peaceful. And it reminded her a lot about her father, and also Sesshomaru. She couldn’t understand why it made her think about him, but it did. Everything about him was exact and focused, even if her cousin sometimes complained about him.
His care and love that he held for Satomi, she was very envious of it. Not that her cousin had all that love and attention, but that she wanted to experience that too from him. He just made her heart skip a beat every time he looked at her, or spoke to her. Even when he would say something that would upset her.
Sighing, she finally looked up away from her thoughts and gave a soft smile. Maybe this vacation will be more than just having fun. Maybe they will get to know each other more, and become friends. ‘Not until I know for sure things between him and Inuyasha are fine though.’ She added.
Suddenly, without a moments notice, a spray of snow flew over into her face and another second she was pinned to the ground by another body. Tensing up, she finally opened her eyes and looked up to see a pair of icy blue eyes behind a set of clear shades. He also had a few noticeable dark strands of hair peeking out from under his beanie. He also was very handsome, but that’s was just it.
“Uhm?” She finally worded, wondering if the male would ever get off of her. The last thing she wanted was Sesshomaru to come back and see another guy on top of her. ‘Wait? Why would that matter anyway? Oh, because maybe you are on a date, Kagome!’ No, not a date. She reminded herself, but still this predicament could be considered rude.
“Sup.” The guy replied back with a boyish grin. Slowly lifting up, he pulled Kagome onto her feet and helped patted her down. “Sorry about that. Wasn’t meaning to crash into you. But kinda glad I did, since you are an absolute babe.” He snickered, finally stepping back and giving her air to breath.
‘Babe? Seriously?’ If the circumstances were different, maybe she might blush to that compliment. Instead, she just gawked at him and finally gathered her composure and asked. “Why were you even snowboarding that close to a person who was sitting down?”
“Look, I know I might have upset you a bit but you got to understand it was an accident. I said I was sorry.” He chuckled once more. “My name is Kakutami Kouga. You?”
‘Kouga? The Kouga? This is him?’ She had to admit, she wasn’t expecting a handsome heir wolf-boy. She was expecting some beefy, arrogant show off - wait. “Ah!” She replied more to her understanding than to the wolf. Chuckling nervously, she finally answered him. “I’m Higurashi Kagome.”
“Well, you are one dazzling beauty. Care if I show you the ropes on snowboarding? I’ll be your teacher.” He grinned once more.
Shaking her head, she quickly stepped back and responded quickly. “Uhm, no need. I already have one.”
Raising a brow, he crossed his arms over his chest and shrugged. “Fine, I’ll just wait.”
‘Seriously?’ The balls on this guy! She wanted to just strangle him already. But she decided to just smile and wait for her hero. If anything, the guy might have some brains to back off once he saw Sesshomaru. Course that was wishful thinking, since she had put the prince in his place a time or two. ‘Please god, help me.’
Finally, her prayers were answered once she caught sight of Sesshomaru making his way down here with Naraku. Smiling brightly, she raced over to the two and without a second though embraced Sess into a ‘Thank god you came in time’ hug. It wasn’t until after she realized her mistake that she was quickly embraced back - but only this time she swore she heard a growl.
“Kouga.” Sesshomaru huffed coldly. “What brings you here, wolf?”
Shrugging along, he stepped in front of the two males and smirked. “Same reason a lot of people come here - to snowboard, Barky.” He chuckled, using the same nickname he always used since they were in grade school. “Saw a beauty and now that I see she is with you, I feel sorry for her. Does she know about your other ‘girlfriend’ who currently is taken by that fucking human?” He snarled, rolling his shoulders.
Baring his teeth, he stepped forward with his arm still wrapped protectively around Kagome. “Mind your next words, wolf or they will be your last.”
Stepping between the two, Naraku finally looked over to Kouga. “As much as we would love to engage in this fight, I for one don’t want to be kicked out and banned from this place. The mountains are epic and the snow is perfect for snowboarding. So, if this really can’t wait - please by all means meet me later at our spot.” His voice lowered, and with it a icy chill laced his words with a death glare.
Swallowing, the wolf finally huffed and shrugged. “Whatever man. This isn’t over with!” Walking over to his snowboard, he picked it up and left the three of them alone.
Sighing slowly, Naraku finally looked over to Kagome and Sess. “You two make a lovely couple.” He laughed as he saw the two quickly separate with a noticeable blush. “Oh, don’t let me ruin the moment. I’m just passing through.” He snickered while placing himself properly onto his snowboard and making his way down the slope. “Later!”
Her face burned, but deep down inside she wanted that warmth back. As much as she loved the cold, being in his arms was amazingly warm for a ice prince. Looking up, she notice the same blush on his face, only it wasn’t as bright and was mostly covered by his collar. Either way, part of her wanted that embrace again. It actually felt like he - no. Shaking her thoughts away and catching his attention, she blushed once more and gave a nervous laugh. “That Naraku-san huh? Funny guy.”
“Hn. I assume so.” He replied back. Gathering his bearings, he handed over her skis and helped her apply them on properly. Once they were both set and prepared, he gave her detailed instructions to help her out as they slowly began to make their way down the slope. “Try to keep a steady pace. The further we go down, the more dangerous it tends to get if you are going full speed.”
“Alright!” She cried out in joy. Every moment she felt herself going a bit too fast, she hook the sticks into the snow and slow herself down just a bit until she was comfortable with the pace. Looking over, she watched as Sess experimentally skied across the snow with no problem. Smiling to herself, she began to think about how he really looked like a ice prince, but in a nicer way.
“Kagome!”
Blinking out of her thoughts, she noticed herself suddenly gaining speed and before she knew it she was heading further down the mountain with trees lined in her path. Too afraid to even scream, she felt herself freeze as she watched in horror. Trees. Rocks. Trees. Bushes. Rocks! Trying to dodge them the best she could, she felt a jagged rock catch onto her left ski pushing her off balance. Swallowing hard, “Sesshomaru! Help!” She cried out seeing more trees closing in.
Racing towards her, he finally caught onto her the second the rock threw her off balance. Wrapping his hands around her waist to pull to her him, he was oblivious to the cliff beside them. Holding onto her, he smiled for only a short second until he realized they were not landing but instead falling. Covering her head with his hands and her body with his arms - he used some of the power that he could manage to at least soften their fall.
Everything went black.

“Sesshomaru! Where are you?”
Fear clawed into his heart and mind as he continued to hide in his secret hiding place. Holding tightly onto his legs, he watched out of the cracks as he drunken mother began to trash his room in search for him. Praying she would give up and leave, he buried his head into the hollow of his arms and tried not to cry. ‘Satomi.’ He prayed.
He didn’t want to see his mother. Not after what she did to him. For eleven years, he cared very little about the beatings and harsh words. He didn’t mind them at all, because it was always a reminder of who he was. And why he hated his parents so much. All these years, if he refused - they would manipulate him by using his brother or sister.
He stayed for them. He would never allow them to get hurt, even if he was beginning to resent his brother a bit for his careless attitude. But it wasn’t Inuyasha’s fault. He didn’t know. But that was a good thing.
But now, after last night, he refused to leave his hiding place. How was he to know that his mother would touch him so indecently?! He was a virgin no more, and it killed him. He hated his mother so much. He wanted her dead!
Tears on the brink of falling, he knew he had to conceal them or - no, it was too late. She began to sniff the air and he knew it was too late. She turned around, and he knew it was over. Walking towards him, his heart raced with fear as he watched her finally stop before him. Kneeling down, she gave a dark laugh and looked between the cracks until she finally met his eyes. “There you are.”
“No!” Sesshomaru cried out, panting in rage and fear as he sat up. Looking around, he noticed nothing but snow around them but more importantly a crying miko who currently was straddling his lap. Swallowing, he lifted her chin. “I’m sorry. Are you alright? You are not injured?” He questioned while trying to check her or smell anything off.
Shaking her head, she grabbed his hands to stop him from trying to see if she was alright. Sniffling, she finally brought her hands up to his chest. “I felt your pain.” She confessed. “Why were you in so much pain and fear? I tried to wake you up, but you wouldn’t. I was so scared, Sesshomaru.”
She felt his pain? And she cared? It was a bit more than he could ask for honestly. The only people who ever cared were his closest friends and Inuyasha and Rin. But of course, the last two he never expected them to even care in the slightest. Either way, that didn’t matter right now. What mattered was how she knew? And what else she might know. Not wanting to terrify her, he placed his hands on her shoulders to calm her. “It’s alright. I will always be fine, but I must ask-”
“How I know?” She whispered. Her bottom lip trembling, she knew she would have to come clean about this. He deserved to know since he saved her life. Looking up into his eyes, she felt calm taking slowly over once more. “I’m a miko. I know when someone is, you know. I just feel it.”
‘A miko?’ Chuckling, he knew he was somewhat in the clear but as he sat there with her on his lap, he knew he had to explain something. So far, she didn’t mock him or anything of the sort. Sighing, he mindlessly rubbed her shoulders and replied in a whisper. “The pain is from a memory. A memory I only wish will stop.”
Her bottom lip trembled once more. He didn’t have to explain anything to her right now. He was vulnerable, and she didn’t need him to explain anything. She almost died, and he saved her. There was no reason for him to tell her jack! But hearing those words, and realizing how broken they sounded, she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around his neck.
Tears pouring out, she embraced him once more and whispered into his ear. “I wish I could make them stop.” She silently sobbed, burying her face against his neck as she felt him embracing her back. ’I wish I could make our sad memories stop. Forever.’
Not minding the physical contact, he knew right now he truly needed it. And strangely enough, this miko that he had truly despised for the longest, was the one to help sooth the pain away. Tightening his grip, he didn’t reply back out loud, but he did speak in his mind. ’I wish you could too.’
Not gonna lie.. this last part made me cry. -sniffles- I hope you enjoyed it!
