BELONGED TO YOU

(Inuyasha’s place)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kagome woke up slowly with a slightly throbbing headache;
her limbs felt too heavy though the rest of her body felt wet and warm…it’s
such a peculiar feeling!
She slowly tried to open her eyes but stopped her efforts
the moment she remembered the dream; she is too afraid to see whether it’s
really a dream or some unfortunate effect of the drugs that her husband’s
servants so often gave her…however, she is certain of one thing, it can’t be
reality nor can it be really ‘him’.
A very gentle stoke on her forehead ended her uncertain
train of thoughts and her eyes snapped open abruptly;
“It can’t be…” Kagome knew not to feel happy or sad about
it; her heart is beating wildly with a strange happiness yet her mind is
screaming to her to run away & behave indifferently.
He seemed to see right through her and said a little sadly,
“A snow storm is
approaching…you won’t make it in the cold,” he spoke gently almost in a
pleading tone,
“I will take you back
tomorrow.”
…
Kagome stopped looking at him…she is certain if she stares
at him anymore she will surely start crying; and now, she desperately wants to
act mature in front of him.
She took in her surroundings, she is inside a little room on
a thin futon; a little fire is probably what’s keeping her warm and she is
entirely naked!
She frantically tried to cover herself but he gently stopped
her;
“You mustn’t, Your
Highness,” it was then that she realized that he was applying some strange
paste of something warm and cool at the same time on her entire body all this
time; so, that’s what made her feel so good!
She tried to smell deeply, it felt like sandalwood…he seemed
to feel her unasked question,
“This will heal your
scratches sooner…you don’t need to be so modest in front of me.”
…
At this, Kagome smiled coldly; he was not expecting her
reply at all, so when she did, he beamed with slight hidden happiness.
“So…don’t you know
that I am no more a human?” her eyes looked at him with complete
dispassionate hatred, “I don’t need your
pitiful consolation…what the fuck do you possibly want from me now, bastard!”
The smile disappeared from his face instantly as he slowly
turned away from her as if to shield himself from her insults,
“You are right, Your
Highness,” he said softly using a voice that isn’t his own and Kagome
immediately felt that distant coldness overwhelming her insides again, “Please do rest and…I will try to make
something for you to eat.”
At a tremendous slow pace he walked away from the room
leaving her all alone; Kagome looked at his retreating steps from the corner of
her eyes and felt him limp his way out…
…Is he in some sort of pain??
But…The instant he left, she shivered at the coldness of the
room though the little fire went on burning…

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(Sesshoumaru’s palace)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“What now…Lady Mother of the West,” Sesshoumaru spoke
through gritted teeth; he felt like breaking down under the stress of the
situation.
“I told you that girl is special,”
she appeared to be indifferent though she is inwardly bothered because of her
son’s foolish behavior,
“She is too special to belong to anyone else…are you sure,
you only asked her whether she loves you or not?”
Sesshoumaru turned his face away; he knew discussing this
with his mother is a bad idea;
“Demons know only how to conquer, but never know how to value a real
conquest…but I did the impossible:
I bedded a mortal in spite of the fact that it’s too detestable an act
for me to contemplate, and now…”
“I know son,” his mother trailed off,
“You must not get too attached to her!”
“This Sesshoumaru has no
deep attachment with the Lady of the West…but it’s impossible to spend an
eternity with someone who doesn’t care at all about you…”
“So, you beg a mortal for caring and loving you back,” she
taunted him,
“She has the power of the Shikon no tama…she can destroy
this world on her mere will; if you didn’t claim her someone else would have by
killing that half-breed turned human.”
“Don’t utter his name in front of me,” Sesshoumaru almost
roared in a rare display of rage,
“I told him that his body is being defiled according to Kagome’s
wishes!”
His mother entirely ignored the statement though she felt
curious about its truth:
Will that girl really
want his rapist to get raped repetitively to satisfy her own hatred or is
Sesshoumaru…
“Besides, both of you are mates for convenience…” she
stopped her previous train of thought and focused on the current situation,
“You comfort her and will eventually assist her in
commanding over her powers; and she would belong to—“
“That’s all you people care about, hypocrites,” Sesshoumaru
hissed in hatred,
“She would NEVER BELONG TO ME…ever after that abomination will rot and
die!”
He left his mother; he knew they all wear the mask of an
Honorable Ruler, and this includes his mother too…and by following her advice,
he too have lost his only integral quality on which he ever took any pride— his
honor…
…’Sesshoumaru…is that
all, you truly care about, now?’ his mother looked on at his retreating
back.

(Inuyasha’s place)
. . . . . . . . . . .“Thank you,” Kagome murmured absent mindedly to the two
small bowls he placed in front of her; she felt like being disconnected from
her own body, and at the same time she is feeling more alive than ever…she
realized that there is no need of misbehaving or even talking to Inuyasha
unless it’s an absolute necessity;
Taunting such a submissive creature is no fun at all!
He sat at the opposite corner of the little room, far away
from her,
“Please eat it, Your
Highness…you need to-“
“Its ok,” Kagome said calmly with no emotion, “you don’t
need to use that honorific here.”
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she always knew that
after her marriage to Sesshoumaru, their relationship will change to that
between a master and a slave…but what she didn’t realize that he will perceive
and accept that change this easily, especially after taking into consideration
his usual obstinate behavior. For some reason, something is not right here.
Inuyasha gently smiled, it’s a
sad smile,
“Then, Ka-go-me…will
you like me to feed you this little cereal and milk?”
…
A little happiness however fake glittered in his eyes and
without any prior thoughts she gently nodded…she is a big girl now and is
assisted by servants in all of her daily chores, but no one fed her like a
baby; perhaps Sesshoumaru would have if she would have told him to do that to
her, perhaps he would make fun of her childish cravings or maybe, he would
never have gotten the time to do it at all…it feels good…being fed by someone;
she experienced it before but then, she wanted to escape from that type of
care…
But why— she can’t recall it
now anymore!!
…
His palm gently stroked her head as he feed her with a spoon
like one would do to a child; personally, Kagome is disgusted by the taste of
the cereal, it’s probably wheat mixed with something even coarser…but it can
easily be undermined since, his tender care is making her feel too good.
‘He is too poor to
afford anything better,’ Kagome consoled herself.
Kagome slowly remembered the way he used to take care of
her, it’s as if not a single day passed between them or any bad words either…It
didn’t feel bad living this type of life filled with so much of affection but
again…she can’t recollect what displeased
her so much back then.
‘Oh! It’s his…’
her thoughts stopped as she subconsciously checked her own feelings; at least,
she can show him some level of decency after all that petting and all…and if
that spurs him on too much, she can deal with him; after all, she is an
immortal now…
…whereas, he is nothing but a poor foolish mortal!
…
“Umm,” she hesitated as she tried to compose herself, her
tone a little cheery,
“Well…thank you, you did save me from them, and now I am
being such a pain for you!”
“You never were…” he
spoke slowly,
“Kagomee…you mustn’t
walk about those places all by yourself,” he gulped smoothing her ruffled
hair,
“…they are those creatures
that are more terrible than any humans or demons…for they likes to feed on flesh while keeping their victims alive all
the while.”
Kagome watched him as he spoke with lots of effort, his face
blank and smooth though his eyes were wild and timid like a terrified child’s
at the same time as if he is recalling some fearsome memory.
“Mmm,” Kagome agreed.
“Its too repulsive…you can’t recollect it all eventually…but you will
never forget.”
Kagome winced as his words coincided with her thoughts; she
turned to change their topic,
“I am sorry I was harsh on you back then.”
“You never were harsh,” he smiled his heart warming smile,
“It’s only appropriate
that you command your slaves using whatever words you wish.”
Kagome felt bad; she knew not whether she felt sad or pained
for whatever happened between them all those years ago…for her, those memories
seemed uncertain as if she isn’t sure of their occurrence or as if they had
occurred ages ago, but all feelings regarding those days have entirely left
her…
She felt empty and cold inside; she shivered visibly.
“May I rest on your lap,” she softly asked like a frightened
child not pondering at all over her words or his.
“You never need to ask
me anything,” he spoke as a helped to settle her on his lap.
…
As she grew comfortable onto his lap, she purred with
satisfaction at the warm of his body; he gently stroked her naked back, holding
her body gently to him.
She used the moment to study his features closely; he did
look older than before…his skin has slight wrinkles near the forehead, his
hairs have already started graying for she discovered a couple of grey strands,
his lips are dry and chapped badly and his eyes are dark as if from lack of
sleep or from pain…
…
Suddenly, she felt pity
for him…perhaps someday soon in front of her very own eyes, his life will be
over; after all, he is a mortal…he will age and will become ugly whereas, she
will forever be young.
‘Perhaps that’s the real reason why he acted as a common slave,’
Kagome wondered; all these fights, punishments are useless for he would have
been punished naturally…he would have seen his beloved girl stay young forever
in the arms of his own brother, while his flesh would have slowly but certainly
withered away with time…that would have
been his greatest punishment!
Kagome contemplated…her gaze returned to his body; not an
inch of his skin is visible…he wore white bandages in his neck and chest above
his kimono but his hands are bare…wait, his hands…
…
“What happened to your
hands?” Kagome asked, suddenly very anxious by seeing something so strange.

A/N: I really
would like to apologize for a bit of late update; I did break this chap into
two parts for it became too huge & the next part is already written, I just
need to re-check it & add a few things (so, I will be posting it within two
to three days).
I know this chap is too detailed and a bit emo (please bear
with me if it appears over-dramatic, I am still a teen, I guess!)…but I tried
to include Kagome’s POV (& confusion) for she was pretty unresponsive
throughout the story & a bit of peeping into Sessh’s mind.
Keep reading and please review! ^_^
