Dangerosly In Love

Keeper of His Heart



A few days after Sesshomaru’s attack, Zimorah was up and walking around. She still was not 100% though. She didn’t realize how much venom she took in. Her grandmother however, grew quite sick. Zimorah knew her grandmother only holding on for her sake She hated to see her the woman who took such good care of her suffer. Zimorah’s sadness worried her grandmother. She, along with Sango just could not begin to understand how Zimorah could still love Sesshomaru the way she did.
As Zimorah watched her grandmother attempt to sleep, she knew it was time to let the elder go. She took a long breath and sat on the edge of the bed .
“Zimorah, what are you doing up?” Her grandmother asked, lightly pulling on Zimorah’s dreads.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine ma.” She smiled. “ I want you to know that I know, how much you are suffering. I-I know I must let you go”.

“ Oh, my little Zimorah, you been through so much child”. The woman said, with a weak voice. “And I know your heart still longs for that- Sesshomaru.”

“He despises me now ma, I hurt him with my deceit, I-I should have listened to you.” Zimorah hung her head. “ I’m sorry for all the trouble I-“

“Sssh, now, now. I know what it means to love someone that much. How do you think your father got here?” Her grandmother laughed. “ While I may not understand why your love for the demon is so strong, I understand that you do love him”. She started to cough.

“Ma, you must let go now.” Zimorah pleaded.
“Child, I can not leave you here, alone.”
“Yes, you can, I’m strong now and its all because of the lessons you taught me, as well as the love you gave me.” Zimorah took her grandmother’s hand. “ You must let go, you need peace now.”

“ Be strong, my beautiful child, know that I am always with you, I love you”.e cle closed her eyes, still holding on to Zimorah’s hand. She went towards the light.

Once Zimorah said a prayer and pulled herself together, she stepped outside to tell Sango and the others of her grandmother’s passing. Sango cried, they all were saddened by the news. Even InuYasha was upset. Zimorah’s grandmother was the first older person to just welcome him in her home, without questioning “what” he was. After the people of their village gathered to bury the elder, Miroku said the blessing.


It didn’t hit Zimorah that she was going to be all by herself once Sango and her friends were gone. She tried to keep herself very busy by cooking and helping Sango pack up. They were leaving the next day.

“Why don’t you come with us?” Kagome asked her.
“Yeah, we sure could use yet another fiery woman like you on our team!” Sango added with a smile.

“No, I mean, I’d love to but I would only be running from my pain. My place is here, well, somewhere.” She shrugged, trying not to cry. Zimorah placed her head in her hands.

“Oh, no Zimorah don’t cry.” Kagome placed her arm around her.
“It just hit me, my grandmother is gone, my parents were killed long ago and I-“ She dropped her sentence.

“ And you miss Sesshomaru, don’t you?” Sango finished her friend”s thought.
“I do. I know you all don’t understand or approve, but I love him still.”

“I understand.” Kagome spoke up. “ A lot of people look at InuYasha and can’t figure out why I-I love him.”

Sango perked up a little ‘Hmm, this is getting good’ she thought.

“I miss him, his smile, his voice and oh, he loves so strong.” The thought of how she and Sesshomaru made love, made her blush.

“Oh, my!” Sango laughed, shaking her head.

“ I must say, Sango, if things between you and Miroku don’t work out, you need to get yourself a dog-demon man!” Zimorah said, fanning herself.

“I know that is right!” Kagome blurted out her testimony. Blushing, she quickly placed her hand over her mouth. ‘Dammit’ she thought.

Zimorah and Sango dropped their jaws and looked at Kagome. She looks so innocent, who knew?

“Hold on, hold on. You and InuYasha? Kagome, you look so innocent!” Zimorah smirked at her. “Hmm, let me find out you’re not !” Zimorah finished teasing her.

“Ka-go-me, you let InuYasha hit?” Sango asked, her eyes widened in surprise.
Kagome let out a sigh, still blushing, she replied, With a devilish grin, “Over and over again”.

Zimorah laughed out loud, she needed that.

Sango was still in shock. “Oh, oh gods, I’m going to be sick” She teased. “Please don’t tell me your first time was that night we all had to sleep in the same room!”

Kagome looked away, she said nothing.

“Ewww!” Sango squirmed as she laughed at Kagome.
“Was good to.” Kagome added.
“Oh, stop, please! No more. I will never be able to look at InuYasha the same way again.” Sango snickered at the thought of InuYasha trying to be seductive.

InuYash poked his head in to see why the girls were laughing so hard. The three ladies just studied him. Zimorah and Sango could not stop snickering.
“What?” He asked
“Nothing, nothing. Don’t pay them any attention”. Kagome said, now blushing because they knew her “business” with InuYasha.

“Hmmm.” He grunted, looking at Kagome from the corner of his eye. “Listen, I have some last minute things to take care of, I’ll be back.”

“Hey” Sango whispered to Zimorah. “I wonder if dog-demons are known for their method of “doggie-style”.

“Oh, my!” Zimorah gasped. The two ladies fell over each other from laughing so hard. Kogame couldn’t hold it in, she laughed along with them.

“WHAT DID SHE SAY?!” InuYasha heard what she said. His face was red.
“Ah, nothing, I’ll see you later.” Kagome shoved him out of the room.

The minute he stepped outside, the hut roared with laughter . ‘Wait till I catch Kagome alone’ He thought. He realized Zimorah was laughing and she did need that but the thought of Sango knowing his “business”, unnerved him.
InuYasha roamed around until he found his brother. Sesshomaru was sitting by the same river he and Zimorah had their first conversation. He was holding on to the scarf she used to wrap her hair in. A cool breeze swept across the river, Sesshomaru raised his head.
“What is it that you want InuYasha?” He asked, not even bothering to turn around.

“We need to talk.”
“We have said all we need to say to one another” He answered InuYasha.
“It ain’t about us, its about Zimorah.”
“What of that pathetic human?” Sesshomaru asked, brushing his hair from his face.
“Cut the shit! “ InuYash demanded. “You know you still love her”.
“Well little brother, you have always had such a large vocabulary!” He said sarcastically, making a reference to InuYasha’s cursing.

“Dammit, Sesshomaru, listen to me. Zimorahs all alone, her grandmother is dead!”

“And this concerns me how, InuYasha?” He said, cooly.

InuYasha walked up to him and studied him.
“You can act as evil as ‘ya please but it ain’t gonna change the fact the you’re still in love with her. I can look at ‘cha and tell you miss her company just as much as she misses you.” He paused. “Its beyond me why she still wants you after you damn near killed her!”

“She weak!” Sesshomaru snapped. “A weak mortal”
“Yeah, well you still love her and she ain’t weak, you know that!” InuYasha pointed out.
“Enough!” Sesshomaru yelled, narrowing his eyes.

“Wow, shes really under your skin. You never yell.” InuYasha pushed. Even though they were in no way close, he sure could play that annoying little brother role.

Sesshomaru’s cheeks turned red.
“Whats this, you can blush. I never thought I’d see-“
“ALRIGHT, alright. I love her” He cut InuYasha off. “Now will you close your ever- running mouth?”

“Look, I know what she did was wrong. Would you have even looked at her if you knew she was human?”

“No.” He answered.
“She needs you. You can’t just leave her all alone ‘ya know.”

Sesshomaru let out a long sigh, as if he was stressed out.
“Father is laughing at me from his grave, I am certain.” He paused. He was so disgusted with himself. “Me, in love with a mortal, a deceitful one at that.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You comin’ or what?” InuYasha nagged, growing impatient. “Damn you, Sesshomaru, you are so dramatic! Lets go already”. He stopped when he saw the look on his brother’s face. Sesshomaru looked back at him, still not moving.

InuYasha yelled at him, about to have a tantrum.
“Zimorah lied, we know, it was wrong. Just suck it up!! Drink some prune juice and let the shit go!”

Sesshomaru frowned at his crude little brother, completely outdone by that last comment.
“What Did you just tell me?”
“I have got to stop listening to Kagome’s music. Look, my point is, forgive her.” InuYasha finished.


Sesshomaru just stood thee, like his legs were frozen. InuYasha looked at him,’ Hes scared’ He thought. He never thought he’d see the day Sesshomaru feared anything. He was afraid, afraid to love her, to loose her. InuYasha spoke gently to his brother.
“Sesshomaru, what are you afraid of?”
“I fear nothing!” He snapped at him.
“I ain’t here to mock you.”

Sesshomaru clinched his fists. He was angry, angry for loving her and for having any type of fear.
“I do not wish to watch her die” He said through his teeth, pissed off because his brother knew him so well.

“Oh.” InuYasha expressed his sympathy.
“I know that I will out live her. I’ will have to dwell on this earth without her. Unlike you, little brother, I will always be a demon, a fate I cannot change.” He finished as he walked away.

“You gotta deal with the here and now. Shes alive and well” InuYasha stated. “Just talk to her, you will hate yourself for the rest of your LONG life if ‘ya don’t and the last thing we need, is you being colder then you already are”.

Sesshomaru flashed his brother a half smile. InuYasha frowned at him.
“You ain’t gonna hug me or nothin’ are ‘ya?”
“Oh no, never that little brother. I will end your life, when the time is right”

With that, InuYasha left.. By the time he reached Zimorah’s village, Sesshomaru was already there. Kagome greeted him with a kiss while nobody was looking. Sango, Miroku and Shippo were keeping watchful eyes on Zimorah, just in case Sesshomaru tried to hurt her.
Zimorah was resting in the tall grass behind her hut. She felt that familiar, pleasant breeze blowing through her hair.
“Hey you” She said softly.
He just stared at her, moved by her beauty and her ung lng love for him. His golden eyes looked as though he could shed tears. He shook his head slightly to snap himself out of his trace.
“Before I met you, I was unable to feel like this”.
She smiled at him. Sesshomaru pulled her up and looked at her. The orange sunset played beautifully on her chocolate skin tone.
“Why?” He asked her.
“I just wanted you to feel what I felt for you. I knew you’d never talk to me if you knew I was a mortal, well a mortal with “powers” “. She sighed a little.” Yet and still, just a mortal.” Her eyes were so sincere.
“So many times, I wanted to tell you but, your words were so harsh” Zimorah finished.

“My words?” Sesshomaru had forgotten what he said.
“You remember, you talked of mortals as if you could kill us all....You swore you would never taint your blood with one of us”. Zimorah looked so sad.

“Yes, I did, I said that.” He admitted, feeling guilty about the words he spit out in front her. Sesshomaru thought of all thing ghastly things he said about humans to her. He also remembered how he attacked her, almost killing her.

“I know I lied to you, I embarrassed you and I am so sorry Sesshomaru. I wasn’t my attempt to hurt you.” She said, reaching for his hand.

“I brought harm to you, so fof rof rage. I almost took your life”. He paused. “How it is, you still have love within your heart for me?”

“I just do, I’m only human!” Zimorah joked. He smiled at her. Thats her, making him laugh to spite their situation. “Besides, I got what I deserved. I lost my grandmother, the only family I had left”. She paused, letting her tears fall. “I’m all alone now”.

He gently wiped the tears my from her eyes. “Oh, I would not say that”. He told her. “ You have me”. Zimorah smiled at him.

“Zimorah, will you stay at my side, be with me?”
“I thought you would never ask.” She threw her arms around his neck. “I love you, Sesshomaru”.
“ And I love you”. He answered, just before he kissed her.
“So, is there anything else I should know?” He inquired.
“Well,” Zimorah placed his hand on her stomach.” Sesshomaru, I’m with child!”
“Huh!” He was speechless, his gold eyes stretched as his cheek turned red.
Zimorah laughed. “Kidding, I’m just kidding.” She said while still snickering. Sesshomaru laughed as well.
“ What shell I do what you?” He kissed her once more.


Now, this in no way means that Sesshomaru turned soft and became the “good guy” that saves the day. It just means that he finally found the one who could love him unconditionally, without trying to change him. He found the woman who understood him, his ways, Zimorah was the good that could even out the blackness of his heart. Regardless of what anyone has done, a love like that is something everyone deserves.
