“Kagome, please cease that action, everything will be fine.” Sesshomaru chided as they rode into the city.
Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru, and then followed his gaze to her hands. She wretched her hands apart that she had been wringing in her nervousness, and set them on the seat beside her. She looked out the limo window at Tokyo, hoping to distract her mind, and found she didn’t really miss the city. She loved living in the country with Sesshomaru. She felt a need now for open spaces, and the ability to run free. She knew it was because she was youkai now, but she couldn’t help it. Sometimes she just wanted to transform and run amok, and it made her wonder just how Sesshomaru handled being confined in the human façade all the time. Kagome had too easily giving into her wild self at the first chance she had.
FlashbackShe had first transformed two weeks after returning to the modern era. She had felt this wild need to just run, and so Kagome snuck away from Sesshomaru. She went into the woods. She hadn’t taken more than two steps when she felt her youkai whelm, and her body shifted in answer. Unable to stop herself she howled. No more than two seconds after she did Sesshomaru was standing in front of her. She laid down in front of him, and gave him her best doggie smile.Sesshomaru regarded the large black dog with visible annoyance. Inside he was taking in her form, and thinking just how beautiful she was, but he didn’t let those thoughts touch his surface.
“Kagome I presume you know how to transform back or you would not have to begin with?” He knew she didn’t, but he still was her Lord and teacher and had to act as such.
Kagome replied enthusiastically, “Arf!”
Sesshomaru sighed. “Then why did you transform?”
“Arf arf!” Kagome rolled on her back and let her tongue loll out, loving she was a dog, and Sesshomaru could understand her. It was weird and right all at the same time.
“It just happened? Kagome, you know you can’t let things ‘just happen’. You could hurt yourself or someone else.” Sesshomaru scolded. He wanted to laugh at her actions, but kept his face and tone stern. Kagome whined, and he felt his heart soften. “I will instruct you on how to change back, but know this: next time I expect you to tell me when you feel like this again.” He told her wagging a finger at her.
Kagome nipped at the finger, and growled playfully at him.
“No. We cannot play. You know we have work, and those puppy dog eyes won’t work on me! Now this is how you change-”
End Flashback Kagome giggled at the memory. She liked her life with Sesshomaru, and she feared that tonight was him working toward being rid of her. She didn’t want to leave him, but she also understood he had responsibilities. Kagome realized there probably wasn’t room for her in his life. She peeked at the demon out of the corner of her eye. She was amazed that he was alive, and how much the stoic lord had changed. She wondered what her life would be like without him, and felt her heart clench. Kagome had to bite back a sob and tears.Sesshomaru felt her feeling swirling in her aura. She hadn’t yet learned to mask them. When he felt her sorrow he wondered what she was thinking of. He automatically leaned forward and grabbed her hand. “Kagome, what troubles you so?” He asked looking into her eyes.
Kagome blushed prettily at the unexpected contact and concern from Sesshomaru. “I worry my family won’t take too well to me.” She lied.
He smelled the deceit, but said nothing. “I believe from my prior conversations with them they will accept you no matter what you are now. In any case,” he pulled out a jewelry case, “This is for you.” Kagome just stared wordlessly at him not knowing how to feel. When Kagome didn’t take the case he placed it in her hands. “Open it.” He instructed softly.
Kagome looked down at the long black case, and obeyed. Inside laid a beautiful silver necklace. The pendant was a silver moon from the Taisho family crest. It was so simple and elegant with the one small black diamond inlaid in the center. Kagome ran her finger along it, and felt it tingle with power. She looked up to Sesshomaru. “Is it…”
“A cloaking spell. I would have had it sooner for you, but it was rather difficult to find a spell to cloak your youkai, and not trigger your miko powers. It was hand wrought by the spell weavers to instill the spell into the piece rather than put it on it. I am assured it should work without causing you and discomfort.” Sesshomaru explained with pride.
“It’s beautiful.” Kagome said breathlessly. She was so stunned by the gift that she didn’t stop to consider the magnitude of what it meant to be giving a token of the Taisho family crest.
“Will you wear it?” Sesshomaru asked her.
“Of course!” Kagome said not looking up from the necklace.
Sesshomaru leaned forward, and picked up the delicate necklace, deftly putting it on Kagome. He watched as she brushed it with her finger once more. Kagome looked up at him, and for a moment Sesshomaru felt his breath leave him. He was unaccustomed to seeing Kagome’s human form. He hadn’t realized how he had missed it. His hand, of its own will, lifted to caress her face. They stared into each other’s eyes until the door of the limo was opened.
Sesshomaru pulled his hand away, and looked out the open door to see the restaurant front. He looked back to Kagome. “We have arrived.” He said, and felt her nervousness and fear spike. He stepped out of the limo, straightened his suit jacket, and then held out a hand for Kagome. He felt a failure warmth and calmness as she took it. When she was standing next to him he held his arm for her, and she took it. He lead her into the restaurant with a low rumble to sooth her. He felt her calm considerably, and took pride in the fact. As soon as the matrade saw them they were lead to a table where Kagome’s family sat.
They were conversating quietly, but it ended as soon as Kagome’s mother saw her. She quickly stood, and moved to embrace her daughter. “Kagome.” She said with teary eyes.
Kagome clasped her tightly as if she would lose her if she let go. “Mama.”
“Oh baby, we were worried.”
“I know mama, I’m so sorry.”
Mrs. Higurashi held her daughter away from herself so she could look at her. “Why are you sorry?” She questioned.
Kagome opened her mouth, but faltered. “I’ve been away, and-”
“Kagome, you were changed. I still remember when Inuyasha first came through the well, and how much he complained. How could we expect you to adjust faster than him? I’m just glad Sesshomaru-sama found you. It’s like it was destiny.” Mrs. Higurashi said with a chuckle. “Baby, we don’t blame you for what happened.”
Kagome was on the verge of tears herself. “Thank you mama.” She said in a whisper.
Everyone sat, and as Kagome settled into her chair, Souta’s voice rang clear. “Hey sis, I thought you were an Inu- youkai, how come you look normal still?”
Mrs. Higurashi scolded him, but Kagome smiled. “Souta you think I could walk around Tokyo and not have someone like Gramps try to purify me?” Souta gave his grandfather a look, and Kagome laughed. “It’s a cloaking spell.” She told him.
“Oh.” He said in a defeated tone. Then his face brightened once more. “Can you take it off? I mean Sesshomaru rented the whole restaurant so no one will see you, and I doubt Gramps will try to purify you.” He rambled on.
Kagome looked at her mother, and her mother smiled with an understanding pat on her hand. “Kagome you are my baby, and I will always love you. Nothing will ever change that.”
Kagome smiled wanly, and then glanced at Sesshomaru. He gave her an almost indiscernible nod. Kagome reached up, and removed the necklace. It was a moment before she met her mother’s eyes once more. She almost cried when she saw the same loving care that was always there. Kagome’s mother patted her hand once more, and smiled at her daughter.
The rest of the evening went well, and rather normal. Kagome laughed and joked with her family, and Sesshomaru smiled along with them. He loved seeing Kagome happy, and for the first time he doubted his intentions for her. If she was Lady of the West, then she wouldn’t be as able to have time with her family. He knew they made her happy, and that was what he wanted for her. He wondered if he should leave her to be happy with her family, and more importantly if he could.
The evening drew to a close, and Kagome put her necklace back on. They left the restaurant together. Kagome embraced her family, holding her mother especially long, and then turned to Sesshomaru and his waiting limo. He held Kagome’s hand as she climbed in. Before he could follow her he heard his name behind him. He turned to see Mrs. Higurashi looking at him expectantly. He immediately closed the limo door, and went to her. He offered his arm, and she took it turning him to lead him away. They strolled down the street.
“Sesshomaru-sama, I wonder what your intentions are for my daughter.” She told him. She never looked at him, but instead looked in the shop windows as they passed by. Sesshomaru wasn’t caught off guard, but he wasn’t as sure as he had been going into the evening. “Whatever they are, I trust that you understand that if they are for the wrong reasons or you intentionally hurt her there will be repercussions.”
Somehow Sesshomaru wasn’t surprised he was being threatened by this woman. Sesshomaru mused that Kagome was truly her mother’s daughter. “I assure you I have no intention of hurting her.” He told her honestly as they stopped in front of a window.
Mrs. Higurashi looked at Sesshomaru. “I’m not stupid Sesshomaru. I see the way you look at my daughter, and I see the way she looks at you. Kagome is sensitive and Inuyasha-”
“Was a fool.” He said coldly.
“Perhaps, but if so then we are all fools for following our hearts.” She sighed. “Sesshomaru, I saw my daughter come home broken so many times. I want to protect her, but I understand I can’t from everything. I want her to be happy.”
Sesshomaru didn’t let her finish. “As do I-”
“Than see that you don’t hurt her.” Mrs. Higurashi with a look that said she didn’t want to be interrupted again. When Sesshomaru gave a brief nod she continued. “I see the way you look at her, but I also see the doubt in your eyes. I can’t help but wonder at the human-hating Sesshomaru’s intentions with a former human.”
Sesshomaru was slightly startled. “She told you that?”
“She told me a lot of things when she would return from the feudal era.”
Sesshomaru considered this. “I never hated humans- at least not by the time I knew her.” He looked into the window they had stopped at, and found himself looking at a painting. He was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He text a message to his ever loyal servant Jaken, and then regarded Mrs. Higurashi.
“I am in doubt because I see how happy she is with you and your family. I don’t want to take her away from that. As to her former human aspect… I must admit I like her as a youkai, but tonight when I gave her the necklace I also realized that I miss her humanity. Either way I find myself wanting to spend the rest of my long life with her. Not because of what she is now or was before, but because of whom she is.”
Mrs. Higurashi smiled softly at Sesshomaru, and nodded. They looked at each other a moment longer before Sesshomaru turned to go to his limo that had pulled up. He only went a few steps when Mrs. Higurashi spoke again. He froze in his tracks, and turned to stare at her. She still had the same smile on her face. He nodded once, and got into his limo.
