The final night in the small room was spent within a lucid dream. Kagome was walking slowly down the aisle, arm in arm with a fashionably dressed Inuyasha. There was soft music playing from an unidentifiable source; there were rows of people lined up on either side of them, but Kagome could not ascertain the reason for their attendance. Rin skipped ahead of Kagome and Inuyasha, occasionally running back to circle around the couple, throwing flowers in the air and on the ground.
In a flash, Rin transformed into Mai, who promptly stopped throwing flowers and looked at Kagome with a sad expression on her face.
Kagome reached out to the girl, but Mai faded away, and the miko realized that she and Inuyasha had reached the end of the aisle. She tilted her head and was unaccountable shocked to see Sesshoumaru standing on a raised platform, dressed in a silky black tuxedo. Looking down at herself, Kagome realized that she too was dressed out of character, a flowing white gown complimenting her soft curves.
At a scuffling sound, Kagome turned to find Shippou coming down the aisle, a broad grin on his face and something held outstretched in his hands. Then she was moving forward once more, away from her charge, traveling to the spot at which Sesshoumaru stood. He looked at her, a content expression on his face, and took her hands in his. It did not occur to Kagome that this was all very strange. She could hear a man’s voice speaking in a monotone. The man asked a question, to which Sesshoumaru gave an affirmative. He asked a second question, and Kagome realized it had been directed at her.
Panic set in. Though she hadn’t heard the question asked, Kagome knew suddenly and without a doubt what it had been. She was not ready for such a question--she didn’t know how to answer. Her immediate response should have been “no,” shouldn’t it? But there was something tugging at her heart, telling her that that was exactly what she did not want to say.
Kagome looked to Sesshoumaru; she needed to know what her answer would be. To her surprise, the lord’s expression had turned to one of grim acceptance, and was now broadcasting a steady flow of hate in her direction.
The miko stumbled backward, afraid for her life. Inuyasha had disappeared--he was no longer near to protect her. She turned to look for Shippou, and for a moment he was there, real, leaping into her arms, before crumbling into dust and falling through her fingers. Kagome cried out in despair, daring to glance toward the demon lord. He gave her one last look, full of hurt and loathing, before fading away, his eyes not leaving hers until they had dissolved completely into the growing darkness.
It took Kagome a moment to realize there was no one left around her. The crowd had gone; Inuyasha, Shippou, Rin, Mai, even the despicable Sesshoumaru had left her. She stood all alone, on a high platform, in a shining white wedding dress, and as the dark closed in around her, Kagome folded in on herself and wept.
*~*~*
Kagome woke with tears streaming down her face. She was filled with an immense sense of loss, but she didn’t know why. She recalled that she had had a dream, and she could remember all who had been involved, but no matter how she tried, the context of the dream would not come to her. The miko rocked back and forth in her bed, sobbing until she felt as though she had no more moisture in her body.
Such was how Sesshoumaru found her the following morning, weeping silently into a sodden pillow. He tried to hide his shock at seeing the strong human broken down into such tiny pieces. It had been so long… Sesshoumaru shook his head to clear his thoughts; the past belonged in the past.
Hearing his entry, Kagome peeked up at the demon lord. He seemed surprised to find her in such a state. She wiped at her eyes and sniffed, looking up at the demon with a lost expression on her face. Her attempt at an explanation turned into another fit of sobbing, and the miko could only shrug out her confusion. She could see a number of emotions flicker across the lord’s face before he set his jaw and looked her in the eye.
Sesshoumaru forced down the sudden urge to go to her. There couldn’t be such actions from a demon lord like himself. He forced his mind to push away the memories that kept nagging at him. No matter what happened between the miko and himself, that would not happen. Shaking his head again to clear the mess there, Sesshoumaru focused on the girl.
“Stop your crying. It is unbecoming and most disgusting.”
As he had predicted, the miko’s head shot up, and she glared at him with female fury, her tears disappearing immediately.
“You. You were in my dream--you made me cry!”
The demon lord blinked. He had made the girl cry? In a dream? Setting her femininity aside for the moment, the demon stepped closer to the miko and landed a solid slap to her face. When she cried out and reeled back, Sesshoumaru grabbed her by the back of the neck.
“Look at me.”
His voice was harsh, as he had been slightly frightened by the miko’s tears. They put him on edge.
“You will not be frightened by some dream. You are not a weak woman. I do not wish to see you cry again.” He bit the words out, his face not an inch from Kagome’s. When he’d finished, he sat glaring at her until he noticed that her expression had turned from fear to something else. He sniffed the air, and his eyes widened.
Kagome had indeed been very frightened when the demon lord unleashed his wrath upon her. She had for a moment been afraid that he was going to kill her. However, after his outburst, Kagome’s mind began to regain life. An observant girl, she was quick to notice the proximity of the demon’s face and body. She hadn’t worn anything to bed, so her own body was held quite close to the demon’s, even if he did have clothes on.
Kagome could not help the blush that spread across her cheeks when she thought about the hand on the back of her neck. She watched Sesshoumaru as his expression changed slightly, as he gave a sniff, as his expression altered farther.
“I’m sorry,” she murmured, closing her eyes and waiting for the worst. However, all she felt was the sudden lack of a hand on her neck or a body near hers. She opened her eyes to find that the demon had gone.
After a few moments, a rap on the doorframe announced Mai’s entry. The young girl gave Kagome a very stern look.
“What on earth made you think you could just wander off?”
The girl was clearly angry, and Kagome wasn’t fooled by her size--Mai wouldn’t have survived alongside Sesshoumaru if she hadn’t been tough as nails.
“I could have gotten in so much trouble--you could consider that, even if you don’t care much for your own safety.”
Kagome had the decency to look embarrassed. She truly hadn’t given a thought to the little girl when she’d been exploring. She realized now that Mai would have been the one to blame had she gotten into anything she shouldn’t have. But then again…that’s exactly what she had done, wasn’t it?
“I guess I’m just lucky Lord Sesshoumaru decided to punish you instead of me. I’m not sure how I’d feel if I were you right now.”
Mai’s words brought Kagome out of the stupor she had begun slipping into.
“He’s punishing me? How?”
Mai gave Kagome a puzzled look.
“He said he’d told you already. You’ll be with him night and day until the day you leave. After I get you to him today, he isn’t letting you out of his sight. Believe me, I don’t envy you.”
Kagome’s panic returned once again.
“Wait--day and night?? I thought he was kidding! I’m not sleeping next to that!”
The girl shrugged.
“He said it matched your misbehavior very well--just what did you do, exactly?”
Kagome couldn’t think to answer--she was too busy wondering what the demon lord could possibly have in store for her.

A/N: Yeah, short chapter. I know. It’s just that I figured out the ending, and now it’s hard to write this part. If it makes you happier to know, the ending has been written out if not typed. These chapters are just taking a while to pan out.
Btw, I had a super idea. So let me know if you want more day life or night life. =) Cuz I’m flexible.
