As usual, thank you all for the reviews and ratings! You guys are awesome lovely people! Shorter chapter than the others, but still awesome. Lots of emotion as well, and Miyo has a part all to herself. Yay! -sarcasm-
And MikoSayuri, I swear you are reading my mind or is the plot that obvious? Lol. Anyways, I was actually thinking the same -wink-
Now, no worries on Satomi. She will keep the little bundle in her oven, but no one will find out the news until she is sure she is in the safe! But of course, Naraku will probably be the exception from that rule -_-
Anyways! Please let me know what you guys think from this chapter. It's sure to get more intense, especially with our two love birds getting closer and closer to each other. Thing is, will it last or will they go back to square one?
Rate and review!!! Love you awesome sauce people!
The clock began to slowly ticked and with it, so did the Lady of the House’s temper. It had already been two days since her son decided to go on this trip and he took along both Rin and Inuyasha. She was growing bored, and needy. Looking out the large windows of her favorite room, she continued to drink the wine from her crystal glass and look at the winter blossoms blooming lovely before her.
The garden maze was wonderful this time of year, and she knew soon the snow that would cover the ground like a thick white blanket would even be more lovely. She loved this garden. It sang to her every time she looked at it.
Taking another sip, she reveled at the bittersweet taste of the red wine. Rolling her tongue and sucking the remaining flavor from her taste buds as she listened to the silence that surrounded her. She hated the silence. It reminded her that her son was no where near.
“Hmm, my lovely boy.” She whispered in a drunken slur. Suddenly, the door opened to her private chambers and in came the Master of the House - Taisho. She never understood why the male could boldly use his first name as a family name as well. To her, he was very vain about his pride and bloodline. She wanted to scoff at that last part, since he ruined that ‘pure’ bloodline by sleeping with a mortal woman. ‘That slut.’ She stated while finally turning to see an older version of Sesshomaru walking towards her.
‘He was so handsome. If only he never slept with that whore, he’d still be amazingly gorgeous.’ She smirked inwardly. “What is it?” She finally stated, taking a large sip of her wine.
“Where is Sesshomaru?” He asked. “And Inuyasha?”
“Oh, don’t ask about Rin now. She doesn’t exist.” She chuckled harshly before setting down her almost empty glass down to have it be refilled by her loyal handmaiden.
“That runt is not mine. You will do will to never associate it with me again!” He sneered, grabbing the wine glass from the handmaiden and looking at the brand. “Latour? You are spending twenty-thousand dollars on this? No wonder your spending allowance almost wastes quickly before a week ends.” He scoffed, placing the expensive half-bottle of wine back on the desk. “Where are my sons?”
Shrugging her shoulders, she grabbed her glass and took another sip. “I heard they are on a vacation trip. Whereto, I do not know. I think they told me, but I don’t remember.” She chuckled, walking with a slight drunken sway towards her window again. “Why?”
Rolling his eyes, he began to wonder what he saw in the shrew. Almost twenty years, and he still wondered why he stuck his dick in that thing. It was revolting. “Let me know of their return. I need to speak with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Understood?” He stated clearly, walking back towards the door. “Oh, and when they return, hold back on Sesshomaru’s punishments. Understood?”
Shrugging, she gave a slurred laughed and waved him away from her chambers. Once he was gone and out of earshot, she looked over to her loyal maiden. “Take note, Lydia.” She smirked, drinking from her glass. “I will have Sesshomaru not suffer physical punishment that leaves marks on his body. That will have to wait until his father is threw with him. But before he sees the son-of-a-bitch, I will have him under me. Did you write that down?”
“Yes, milady.” Lydia replied back, placing the note aside for her mistress to see later.
Chuckling to herself, she continued to start down at the garden before her. ‘Good. I’ve truly missed my son very much. It’s time he learned that.’
After the near death experience, everyone continued asking if Sesshomaru and Kagome were alright. It was Naraku who had seen the accident and before he could help, he saw them fall from the cliff. If the hanyou could ever experience a human heart-attack, it was at that very moment. Of course, everything was put at ease when he raced down the mountain and headed to the two snow covered couple.
Kagome had been alright, but crying while trying to make sure Sesshomaru would wake up. He could even hear the deep care and concern in her voice as she tried to call out his name. Before he could even make his way to help the two, Sesshomaru woke up. After that, he saw something between the two.
Something he had been hoping for this entire time. Part of him was happy seeing the two embracing each other, but the other part worried if this would push them further apart at seeing their vulnerability. He mostly hoped for the first instead, but knew the latter would most likely happen. After he made himself known, the trio made their way back to the shop with Sesshomaru using Naraku as a helping hand.
His healing ability was taking a bit longer to tend to his sprain, mostly due to fault of his mother and father constantly restricting him. But by the time they reached the shop where everyone was at, his ankle was close to being completely healed.
“Are you sure it’s alright?” Kagome asked softly, sitting beside the prince with a deep concern look on her face. She wasn’t sure what to say at the moment, but she felt this was all her fault. If she paid attention, Sesshomaru wouldn’t have gotten hurt. This was all her fault. ‘Some date.’ She inwardly chuckled in sarcasm.
“I am a yokai, Kagome. I will live. This is nothing but a minor annoyance.” He stated, as he slowly began to rotate his ankle - wondering if his healing managed to heal it completely yet. He hated weakness, and the last thing he wanted was people focusing on his weakness right now.
Nodding, the young miko patted his shoulder and gave a very faint whisper. “Thank you for saving me.” Biting the inside of her lip, she looked over to see Satomi walking over with two hot cocoas in her hand. Smiling, she thanked her cousin and took a sip from the hot beverage.
“I’m so glad you are alright, Kagome.” Satomi spoke up softly, sitting beside her cousin. Embracing the miko, she gave a sigh of relief and finally looked over to Sesshomaru. “I’m glad both of you are ok. I’d go crazy if I lost either one of you guys.” She sniffled, finally letting the miko go.
The prince kept his silence, but knew deep down that he would have felt the same way. If anything were to have happened with Kagome, he would have felt shame and dishonor. Not saving her, he wasn’t sure if he would have been able to live with that hanging over his head. But she was safe, and out of harms reach and he was glad for that. He kept telling himself that it was for Satomi’s peace of mind, but he knew it that if he lost the miko that was slowly warming up to him - he’d go insane too if he lost her.
It was almost silly to know that two women in his life now meant something to him on a deeper level, when before it was just one. His sister always was his main priority, but Satomi was his life. His air. His sanctuary from the hell bitch who claimed his life. Now, the care and concern that the little miko beside him showed gave him another reason to accept her as a friend. The only person who ever cried for him - who shed real tears for his pain - was Satomi. But after that moment they shared earlier, he knew there could be another person who would also be there to heal him and not mock his weakness and pain.
But he wouldn’t admit that out loud. He rather not mention it to anyone, since he could barely admit it himself. The last thing he needed was someone else to worry about when he had bigger issues to deal with. In example, his mother. He knew the second she found out about another female friend, she would go ballistic. It took everything he had to not get her to hurt Satomi or humiliate her. Last thing he needed was for Miyo to do the same to Kagome, and this time not sure if he would be able to save her from the bitch’s wrath.
Rolling his ankle, ignoring the people around him and focusing on the trying to heal and no longer be a burden among himself, he felt a soft palm resting against his shoulder. Looking over, he locked onto the familiar grey orbs that no longer seemed to anger him. “Yes?” He asked, cursing himself for how cold his voice sounded.
Smiling faintly, she continued to look into the prince’s eyes and finally gave a small smile. She ignored his cold tone of voice, and figured he was probably most focused on his ankle than anything else. Swallowing, she finally spoke up, cursing her nervousness. “I know I said thank you already, but I do appreciate you helping me. After all the fall outs we’ve had, I should never have been judgmental. I want to repay you back, I don’t know how or when, but I’d like that you accept my offer.”
He had to refrain from rolling his eyes. It would be under him to do such a childish thing, but he understood where she was coming from. Even if they hated each other, he wouldn’t have let her crash and severely harm herself. That was insane! He wasn’t that cold and heartless. Nodding, he gave a slight smile of his own before turning his attention back to his ankle. There was too many emotions surrounding him, and the quicker his ankle wasn’t hurting - the better he could walk away and take a breather.
“Hey Kagome.” Satomi called out, bringing the attention of the miko back to the heiress and the rest of the gang.
“Yeah?” She spoke up, as she looked over at her cousin.
“Have you heard of One OK Rock?”
Her eyes widening, she felt her lips turn into a bright smile. “Yes! I love them!” She almost squealed, feeling slightly embarrassed at her actions.
Chuckling, Naraku spoke up. “Well, we have tickets to see them tonight. VIP tickets actually, so we get to talk with the band as well. We weren’t going to say anything, but we weren’t sure if you liked the type of music.”
Scoffing, she rolled her eyes and jumped up to stand in front of the hanyou. “Just because I may be girly at times, doesn’t mean I don’t like my fair share of rock. I’ll have you know that The Gazette and Girugamesh are my most favorite bands, as well as Alice Nine.” She blew a raspberry with a turn to her feet and facing Satomi. “So! When do we go?”
Smirking, the heiress looked over to Sesshomaru. “When Prince’s ankle no longer hurts.” Grinning, she winked at the glare that was thrown at her by the prince and chuckled. Looking over to Kagome, “The concert doesn’t start until three hours from now. We leave in an hour, so we should probably head back and get ready. Sess, can you walk?” She gave a short chuckle at the heated glare directed at her once more.
“I refuse to answer that.” He stated, quickly getting up onto his feet - ignoring the pain in his ankle. ‘At least it’s not as bad as it was when I got up here.’ He thought to himself while heading away from the shop and towards the apartments.
“Wait up, will ya!” She called out after him, while the rest of the group began to follow after.
As they reached the apartment, they all quickly went to their rooms to get ready for the concert. Excitement filled the entire home, as everyone quickly prepared themselves - even Kagura held a smile on her lips with everything she was struggling with.
Meanwhile, both the Taisho’s sons kept a silence among them the entire time since earlier. They weren’t sure what to say after everything that had happened, but Inuyasha knew he had to say something. He had to make his brother know that even though he still believed Sess was a dick, he will be there for his brother. He had to be there for him, because this time he wouldn’t be so blind. Clearing his throat, he finally got the attention of the prince and gave a limp smile. “Can we talk?”
‘No.’ He wanted to say. He didn’t want to speak at all. Nothing will change the fact that once they reached home, he would still be in the same situation. No one could get him away from his permanent hell, and the last thing he needed was his siblings to know and fight their parents. It would only be worse for them. It was something he will never allow. But he knew the hanyou, and how much the male will continue to fight this. Sighing inwardly, he gave in and replied back. “About what?”
“I know we aren’t the greatest of brothers.” He stated which was clearly an understatement. “But I’m willing to forget it all. I been a fool to think you had it made when you suffered the most. I should have paid attention to the signs. Hell, even the scent of blood that lingered around that bitch’s room. But I was so oblivious to it all, I ignore it all because I thought you were a spoiled brat.”
“I didn’t protect my big brother because he was too busy protecting me and our little sister. I was a fool to think you were a cold heartless prick.” His heart aching, he felt the pain rising while tears pricked his eyes. “I’m sorry Sess. I should have paid more attention. I should have known you were just being a big brother.” He choked.
Staring in disbelief, the prince was stuck between comforting his brother and telling him to stop this nonsense. What’s been done is already in the past. There was no need to remember the pain anymore, but that was easier said than done. That was always easier said than done. But he knew this would never change anything. Inuyasha should never experience the pain that Sesshomaru was left with. To suffer with.
Alone.
Swallowing, he finally walked over to Inuyasha and patted him on the shoulder. Getting the hanyou’s attention, he finally spoke up loud enough for him to hear. “What’s done is done, Inuyasha. There is nothing you can do, but don’t let this be your fight too. Please.” He forced the last word out, but it needed to be said. He vowed that his brother and sister would never experience the abuse he had to carry his entire life.
Dammit, he was suppose to be the bad guy! Tightening his hold on his brother’s shoulder, he swallowed down the lump in his throat. He would not show vulnerability. Not now, not ever. Clearing his throat, he spoke up in a broken cold tone. “This is not your fight, Inuyasha. Don’t let it be your fight.”
Tears falling, the hanyou shook his head and pushed away his hand. How could he still claim this wasn’t their fight now? His brother will have to suffer alone? Is that what he wanted? To suffer this pain and abuse all alone with no help? Even with Satomi being his sanctuary, not even she could stop the torment his brother had to suffer with. It was wrong, and he refused to back down.
Wiping his tears, he shook his head and repeated to whisper out the word ‘no’. He refused to let his brother be alone in this anymore. “This is our fight, Sess. You don’t have to protect us anymore. It’s time we protect now.” He choked while looking up to his big brother. “It’s time we protect our big brother.”
Hours fled by, and the group was now in the backstage watching on the side as the band went live - fueling the crowd alive. Kagome still wasn’t sure if this was all a dream. She still couldn’t believe how much of this was real that she had to constantly pinch herself to remind her she wasn’t dreaming. Watching everyone, they all moved with the song ‘Deeper Deeper’, singing along and watching in amazement as the band continued to play along.
It was just too much to take in, but she felt alive for once. She enjoyed herself more than anything as she danced along and sang with her cousin and little brother. Twirling around, she found herself plastered against a hard brick-like wall and before she could gather herself she felt a set of arms wrap around her body. Blushing, she looked up to see Naraku laughing and shaking his head. “Thank goodness I have quick instincts or we would have fell on the floor.”
“Oh, I am so sorry Naraku.” She smiled nervously, pulling away from the hanyou and bowing in apology. “I should pay more attention.” She chuckled lightly.
“You were having fun. No need to apologize. Besides, if you ran into Bank here, I am sure the two of your would have fall on the floor.” He teased the human beside him.
“Talking shit?” Bank mumbled with a cocked brow.
“Yes.” Naraku stated firmly with a menacing grin.
It wasn’t long until the human gathered the hanyou into a headlock and looked over to Kagome. “Don’t listen to this spider. I’m not as weak as he thinks.” He smirked only to have his eyes widen and laughter escape his lips while withdrawing away from the spider hanyou. “Not fair man. You know I am ticklish!”
“Oh, I know. Satomi has warned me all of your tickle spots, even though I didn’t want to know.” He stated, dusting off his shoulders and fixing his hair back. Looking back to Kagome, he smirked. “So, you liking the concert?”
“Liking? I’m loving it!” She chuckled, while giving one more twirl before the song ended and entered into another. “This is the best winter break ever.”
“Glad you think so. Satomi wanted to do something great for you and Souta. We are just glad you like it.” He smiled softly.
“Thank you guys. It means more than you know.” She smiled softly. Finally, as the song kicked in - Kagome’s eyes widen as she realized which song this was. Turning over to see her cousin, she smiled widely and raced over to Satomi. “It’s our song!”
Smiling just as brightly, the two girls linked fingers and began to sing along with Chaosmyth. It was more than just their song. It meant more to the two than anything. Ever since Kagome’s father passed, this was the one song they heard together that actually made them smile from the dark days that loomed over them. Since then, they always played this song to raise their spirits, because it meant more than just words being sung.
Watching from the back, Sesshomaru observed the two girls singing and twirling around in each other’s arms as the song continued to play. He couldn’t explain it, but there was a remembrance in Satomi’s eyes - a sense of happiness he never seen her before. Letting his eyes drift from the two, he began to focus on the band and the song they were playing. The words held a strong meaning, and he couldn’t fight the goosebumps he felt with the melody and how well the singer’s voice echoed along.
The song truly was beautiful, and something he familiarize with Satomi and Kagome. As he thought more on the two women, especially the one who made a impact in his life just recently - he noticed how much alike they both were. Everything about them was so familiar, except the contradiction he kept finding in Kagome. But even with that, he found it amazingly unique and beautiful.
He knew Satomi would always hold his heart over anyone. His love for her knew no bounds, and he would forever place her above everyone - just like she placed him over everyone. She was his air and life - his best friend who protected him in the dark and light. But Kagome held a different light.
It was weird how he tried to figure it out, but since the first day he’s seen her - he was conflicted. He fought with how he truly felt with this woman. Part of him thought he was going insane thinking that this miko could even get close to him, but she was the only one who awoken his beast.
The only one to calm and rile the beast. It was insane, and it was something he needed to look deeper into.
As the hours flew, the group finally made their way to the back where they greeted the band members. Kagome was even more surprised than before when she realized that Naraku and Bank were actually close friends with the members.
“It’s been a long time, Naraku-san! How have you guys been?” Taka shouted out while wrapping his arm around Naraku’s shoulders.
“We been busy with school mostly. I hear you guys will be touring to America soon.” Bank smirked, while sitting down against the leather sofa in the VIP lounge room.
“Yeah, we are actually pretty excited about it. I think we are also going to A-Con as well, and performing there after answering some questions and such.” Tomoya informed, sitting down as well with a energy drink in hand.
“That sounds like fun.” Naraku smirked.
“I agree. When will you guys be going on tour?” Satomi asked while sitting beside her fiance.
“Sometime next month.” Taka replied back. Finally looking over at the other members, he cocked his brow and looked over to Naraku. “Who is everyone? Friends of yours?” He whispered loudly.
Chuckling, the spider nodded. “You all know my brother, Jak, Sesshomaru and Sango. The rest is Tsubaki-kun, Souta-kun, Shippo-kun.” He pointed out, than turned over to the girls. “Kagome-chan, Kagura-chan, and Kikyo-chan.”
“Kagome, Souta and Shippo are kin to me.” Satomi informed with a smile.
“I can see the resemblance a bit, Sato-chan.” Ryota chuckled. “Nice to meet you all!” He smiled with a bow.
The others followed after with a smile and bow. After the introductions, the group sat around the coffee table that held energy drinks, tea and coffee. A few smoking cigs and cigars, they all began reminiscing about the times when the band first even started to form. Memories and laughter was shared among everyone as the last hours began to fly by.
It wasn’t long until everyone said they byes and headed back on the long road to the Ski Resort. Sitting in silence, Kagome couldn’t help but notice Kagura sitting far away from her twin sister and keeping mostly to herself. Curious, she figured she’d talk to the girl once they reached the apartment.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru continued to think about his brother and what they talked about earlier. His heart clenched realizing that Inuyasha of all people actually cared. It was something he wasn’t sure how to deal with, and having to deal with Rin sending him texts asking questions - he just wasn’t sure he was ready to actually handle all this.
All this time he continued to tell himself that this was his fight. They would never have to worry. That he rather have Inuyasha see him as the enemy instead of the protective figure he really was. It was the last thing he wanted, and he really didn’t want to ruin the image of his mother in Rin’s eyes. It was the last thing he intended for.
He knew how much his sister loved and adored Miyo, even if the bitch never returned the feelings. He just knew Rin admired their mother on a level he wish he could know. To be that oblivious to the heartless bitch that continued to live with them and make his life a living hell.
Memories began to flood through him, and once again he was brought back to that dreadful nightmare of her finding him. The scent of alcohol was hung heavily from her lips, almost intoxicating him completely. But it was those eyes that he feared the most. Those amber eyes that looked right back at him with that diabolical laughter.
It made him shake with terror, wondering if she was near him. He could hear her calling for him, whispering out his name while searching for him. Suddenly, without a moment’s notice, he felt a palm on his arm. Looking down, he noticed a small hand caressing the fabric covering his forearm. “Rin?”
Smiling, she looked up to her brother and tightened her grip on him. “Together, we will fight.” She sucked in her bottom lip to prevent from trembling. “I may not know what’s going on, but I sense your fear. No more. We will fight together, I promise Maru-nii.”
Touching her trembling hand, he looked around and wondered if anyone else was aware of what was going on. So far mostly everyone was asleep. Swallowing, he looked back to Rin and gave a brief smile. “Rin-chan, there is no need to worry.”
Shaking her head, she let out a few tears and looked up to him. “Liar. You were always bad at that.” She chuckled softly, keeping her voice very low. Resting her head against his shoulder, she curled herself to him and sniffled as they sat together. “This isn’t your battle to fight alone anymore, nii-san. Please no more getting hurt.”
In silence, Kagome watched the two siblings in front of her whispering. With the SUV being as silent as ever with most people asleep, she heard bits and pieces of their conversation. ‘Fight? Alone? Hurt?’ She questioned to herself. ‘What’s going on?’ She asked herself, only to have her eyes widen as she heard Rin speak a bit louder. ‘No more getting hurt?’
Once again, she felt her heart clench as she remember the pain she felt earlier from the prince. The loss and fear she felt that drowned her completely. ‘How much are you hiding Sesshomaru? Why are you in so much pain?’ She thought to herself. ‘And why do I feel I must save you from it all?’
‘Why?’
Please tell me what you guys think! How do you like the relationship so far between Sess and Kags, and what do you guys think of the others?
Next chapter, Sango and Naraku have a one on one discussion. Jak and Inuyasha finally take another step into their relationship. And Kagome and Sess get trapped at the shop during a blizzard! And Satomi's struggle with her decision in keeping the child.
