Do You Love Her?

Kagome sat by her bedroom window absently stairing into the sky. The stars twinkled, but no moonlight bathed the world tonight. She wished for all the world she was with one special person.

A small crash resounded behind her, startling her out of her thoughts.

"B-Buyo?" Silence answered her call. "Buyo? Where are you?"

A slim hand slid out of the darkness behind her and clamped over her mouth. Kagome fought against it then slipped into a dreamlesss sleep as she was carried down into the all too familiar well...

***************


Kagome woke to a dazzling sunny morning. She lay on a mat and was covered with a beautiflly embroidered blanket. Kagome turned her head to a young black haired girl looking at her. The girl staired at her for a moment then turned and ran from the room. She returned after a few moments.

"Mommy, do you want a drink?" She held up a small cup full of water. "You sleep forever."

Kagome looked at the girl. Why did she call her Mommy? She recalled seeing her with... Her memories were very fuzzy.

"Wh-Why do you call me mommy?"

The girl giggled and gave Kagome a pointed look.

"Because you are with My Lord."

Kagome's foggy mind was now compleately overwhelmed by who this child could be or even who her 'Lord' was.

Kagome soon got her answer. A tall, stately man with white hair entered the room. His honey gaze fell on her and a smile played briefly accross his lips.

"I see you have woken. Perhaps you'd like to eat?"

Kagome's eyes widened. This man seemed... familiar? She eyed the fluffy fur resting over the man's shoulder...

"Who are you!?!" Kagome demanded.

She picked herself up frhe bhe bed and threw herself at the man. She pounded on his chest as she screamed.

"Who are you? Why is this child calling me Mommy?"

Sessho-maru smiled softly at Kagome's misery.

" I, my dear, am your master and your husband. The child is our daughter, Rin."


Kagome collapsed on the floor, sobbing. This had to be a dream, a bad dream. She couldn't even remember who she was, let alone who this man was... she was too young to marry. Did she love this man?
