�You are awake?� Inuyasha smiled as Kagome slowly opened her
eyes; somehow she is feeling too much disoriented this morning. She looked at
her surroundings and then at him; he looked tired and sickly pale squatting
next to her bed. Then suddenly, she remembered the events of last night�
The way he wept
bitterly clinging to her�the things he said and then he fainted; she must have
fallen asleep afterwards.
She wanted to ask him something but before she can frame any
question, her stomach growled loudly.
He chuckled lightly and said gently,
�I will make you something to eat, just wait a little.�
Just as he was about to leave, she pulled at his sleeves; he
looked at her for some time waiting for her to say something�anything.
When she didn�t, he tried to guess what she may wish to ask
or convey by this gesture.
�
Since Kagome won�t at all talk with him, he would always try
to guess what she may need and want�Well, last night was an exception though.
Last night�
He gulped.
�Don�t worry about me, I am strong and fine,� he replied to
her unasked question cheerily; seeing her questioning look persist, he knew
that�s not the answer she wants,
�I am sorry about last
night,� he almost whispered,
��for my behavior was
inappropriate.�
Then, giving her a chaste morning kiss on her temple he
felt.
�
�
�
�
�S-Sango,� Inuyasha said in a shocked tone, �you are here?�
Since, he forced Kagome to stay with him, all their friends
broke off any relations and he never saw them since; again last day was an
exception, for he saw Miroku at the court. And now, Sango came to pay them a
visit!
She nodded slightly without speaking giving him a hard gaze.
�Oh, it must be Kagome,� he said with a little smile taking
the hint from her unfriendly gesture,
�She just woke up, she is inside,� he babbled trying to
cover up the awkwardness of the entire situation,

�Umm, I am going to make her some food, you go and talk with her.�
�
�
�
�
�Kagome chan,� Sango whispered seeing her friend for the
first time after nearly five months,
�It�s been a long time.�
�Sango,� Kagome muttered, her face brightened up seeing her
old friend,
�It�s really you.�
�Does he hurt you still now?� Sango asked.
Kagome nodded slightly; it�s
a lie, apparently.
�Does he�� Sango cleared her throat trying not to sound as a
totally sympathetic fool although she felt sad for her friend and her inability
to defend her,
�violate you still?�
Kagome gulped trying to give a nod but to her surprise she
couldn�t.
�Please Kagome chan, answer truthfully to your closest
friend,� Sango pleaded as if she can detect her lie.
She came closer and hugged Kagome tightly; Kagome sniffed
slightly trying very hard not to cry, but two drops of tears still rolled down
her cheek unto Sango�s shoulder.
�He raped me at least a dozen times during the first month,�
she whispered clutching her friend�s kimono, �he did never hit me but shouted
at me and would hurt me by being too hard on me, he called me names, while all
those times, he pretended to love me,� Kagome�s tears dried at this point as
she continued,
�He did dirty things with me covering them under the name of
his love�with his mouth.�
�How he treats you now?� Sango asked attempting to drop the
topic.
�He fakes everything,� she replied shaking slightly,
�He pretends to care for me and gentled a lot these days,
speaks things I know not�he stopped doing that with me since the last two
months but he would touch me every now and then, saying lovers touch each other,�
Kagome looked at her eyes,
�He is insane�he talks and does things with himself, he tells tales of
our imaginary moments, he treats me as a child at times, he cries and shakes in
his sleep,� she gulped, �I saw him burning parts of his body with a
heated knife�last night, he even�� she stopped.
Up until now, she said everything truthfully but now she
found herself unable to describe what happened last night,
�Oh Sango, I am so scared to stay with him.�
Sango went on stroking her friend in a feign attempt to
console her.
After minutes, she slowly relaxed and the friends chatted a
little lighter things; Sango spoke about her children and that number 5 is
about to come�Kagome congratulated her on being pregnant for the fifth time.
�
�
After some moments, Kagome slowly asked,
�Do you think we were in love before�I mean before I lost my memories?�
�Why do you ask such a thing, Kagome chan?� Sango asked.
�He says so at times�he
is certain I love him.� She replied.
�Kagome chan, do you not remember anything?� Sango asked.
�I don�t, am I supposed to remember anything important?� she
asked like a lost child.
Sango smiled sadly at her, �Do you love him still?�
�I hate that bastard,
he soiled my body and mind; he went about whoring his own body and treated me
as one too, he destroyed my chances of any good future�I am better off dead
than stay in this Hell, I can�t take this kind of life anymore�Sesshoumaru will
take me away from here, he loves me and I will be the Lady of the West, and
then, I will destroy him in the most
painful way possible�I hate him with all of my heart�� she shouted, her
face scrunched in loathing.
It�s the first time anyone saw that expression on her face.
A strong clattering
sound of falling dishes accompanied her voice.
Sango was shocked hearing her friend speak like this. Kagome
appeared not as that kindly soft hearted warm voiced girl anymore; Sango asked,
�And Sesshoumaru?�
�Only Sango saw the sides of a blue hakama as it hurriedly moved past
the door�it is the one worn by Inuyasha that day�
�
�
�
�
�Um you are leaving that fast?� Inuyasha asked as he
sharpened his farming equipments.
Sango nodded; its noon already and she already chatted a lot
with Kagome.
He smiled at her and said,
�Ok, do visit again,� after a few seconds he added,
�Kagome stays so lonely, it would be good for her health if
you just-�
�Why don�t you tell her everything or let her
go�you are destroying both of yours life like this?� she spoke to him for
the first time pointing at his wounds.
�She must remember by herself; even if I say, she won�t believe a
thing,� he said choking on his own feelings; then, with his usual harsh
voice he snapped,
� and as for me, you don�t have to worry a thing�I told you
guys to keep away from me and my wife�this is none of your business!!�
Sango frowned considering his for some moments and muttered,
�I am sorry there�s nothing more I can do for you.� And then,
she left.
�
�
�
�I am sorry too�but
it�s necessary that you think of me as the bad guy; at least that way, none will ever blame her for anything�and none
will ever know how my little wife has changed�
But still�
�Aishiteru Kagome.�
He looked up to see a
very red sky.
Its twilight already.

Present time:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
�All things are arranged as you wished, my Lord,�
Sesshoumaru�s servants spoke.
�Hmm,� Sesshoumaru approved as he rummaged through all the
papers on his study desk, �Dismissed.�
The servants left him with a bow; its well past midnight,
Sesshoumaru sighed.
�
�
He hated these works. Even though he is in his castle since
the last day, he saw his Lady only today in the morning; it�s not like he isn�t aware of her whereabouts!�all the other time
he is confined to his eternally self inflicted prison cell- the study room of the Lord of the West!!
Huge papers are all piled around him; their shapes appear
far more gigantic than his demonic form�he smirked at the mental image.
�
Well, Kagome is busy too; she takes care of social welfare and
things as solving people�s problems in his kingdom, besides being something
which she calls as a part time designer in her own world, she studied law too
and learnt a little to play the instrument which she called as a cello. He is
not happy with the amount of time she spends in his world and with him but is
at least satisfied with the fact that Kagome went to her own world and studied
and pursued her career all by herself only on the basis of her own credentials.
As for Sesshoumaru, these things have little value to him.
He is not the kind to understand and be interested in anything other than state
affairs, diplomacy and commerce and battle strategies. Though he prefers the
last one most and secretly dreads paperwork; as he got older, he learnt to love
that too for the way it cuts off all his other thoughts at least for the time
being.
He appreciates her paintings and accessory designs; though
he never looks at any woman unless it�s an absolute necessity let alone look
(and be influenced) at her fashionable clothing, though he himself is extremely
fashionable in his own ways with his irresistible charm.
�
�War is an art, Sesshoumaru,� his mother often said to him when
he was a child,
�Always remember the ultimate warrior appreciates art in more ways than
the victory in a war!�
He always doubted its truth though he never doubted his
mother but since then, he is secretly a little fond of music and paintings.
�
Waking up from his childhood reverie, he frowned as he
looked below.
Border encroachments, intra provincial rebels, financial
transactions, judicial and social policies, diplomatic dealings, up gradation
of weaponry and blah blah!! Is there is no end to this?
He dropped his quill abruptly and leaned against his chair
to stretch himself; his eyes drifted at the three swords: Bakuseiga, Tesuaiga
and Tenseiga adorned on the wall�
Tesuaiga and Tenseiga�
His father�s swords�
�now they all belong to him!
�
�
He took Tessuaiga by the sheath; he will still burn his
hands if he tries to touch the handle and unsheathe it�
He passed the long corridors and hallways with inhuman speed
to avoid others noticing him and once out of the main domain of the castle, he
sauntered; his other hand clutched to a strange looking ornate bottle.
�
�
�
�
�So, you do sleep now, slave,� Sesshoumaru almost whispered,
his eye brow scowled as he considered the sleeping figure of Inuyasha.
He is sleeping in a fetal position, a thick black cloth
covered every inch of his body; he shook at times in his sleep making strange
muffled sounds�probably having a
nightmare!
�
�
Its then that Tessuaiga started to glow red and pulsate in
Sesshoumaru�s hands; with lips tightly pressed, Sesshoumaru unsheathed the
sword burning his hands and placed it onto Inuyasha�s sleeping form.
A strange energy flowed between the sword and its previous
master as it made the sound of waves forming as if in a sea; the sword throbbed
even more and finally came to a halt.
Sesshoumaru sheathed it again, watching as his hands heal as
he sheathed it. The sword healed Sesshoumaru�s palms now.
Without any back ward glance, he left the slave behind�
This thing is working.
After all, that�s the
real reason for bringing Inuyasha here!!
�
�
�
�
As Sesshoumaru stood silently in the huge balcony looking at
the clear cold night sky with the yellowish moon, the bottle vibrated and as
Sesshoumaru willed, its sparkling components slowly seeped down�
Before the strange glossy fluid touched the floor, it
materialized into a translucent manly figure�
A ghost or spirit�
Or, a friend�
�This Sesshoumaru has no friends��
�You are certainly very good Sesshoumaru!�
�Be grateful for the kindness,� Sesshoumaru spoke
dispassionately.
�You are in love, aren�t you?�
�This Sesshoumaru loves no one,� he replied now irritated,
�nor does anyone love this Sesshoumaru.�
�That�s not right, you just have to open your-�
�Shut up�love is far too insignificant a thing for
this Sesshoumaru,� he spoke with his usual arrogance.
The phantasmal spirit appeared to mock him,
�Ok, how can I help you, Sesshoumaru sama?�
�There is going to be a war, I can feel it,� Sesshoumaru
spoke as if reciting a prose,
�I wonder what should be the decision of the Lord of the
West.�
�What you want to ask me what you will do!� the spirit
appeared to be shocked;
After some time seeing Sesshoumaru is dead serious as
always, it said,
�You do wish to protect your people as the emperor, don�t
you?�
Sesshoumaru frowned even more,
�Be grateful to
this Sesshoumaru, tusso�for all that happened till now.�
�Hmm,� it chuckled joylessly,
�None ever doubted your predisposition as a great Ruler and a great man
inside,� the spirit appeared to be sad,
�But in the end you will only do what you have to do�so there�s no
point in asking me��
Its voice lingered as Sesshoumaru gently closed the bottle
and said,
�So will you��
�

A/N: This chappie
is huge!!
As I said, Sesshoumaru�s perspective is coming up soon;
Inuyasha�s body is being used to apparently strengthen Tessuaiga (though
Sesshoumaru still can�t wield the sword!) and the rest of it will be explained
soon too.
Thanks to all of you sweet guys for the reviews, I love them
a lot!!
Please keep reading & reviewing! ^_^
