A Broken Soul

Chapter 4



Going Home





Kagome tossed and turned in her sleep, pain licked at her body like white hot flames. Her screams of pain echoed through the halls as her body changed and her powers grew. Sesshomaru ran into her room to see what was wrong. Kagome’s body was floating above the bed, a violet light surrounding her as she screamed and thrashed about. Sesshomaru extended his aura around her as he moved closer to her. Her body stilled as she tried to figure out who was there. The longer his aura was around her the more energy he lost. Sesshomaru pulled back his aura feeling drained. Her body was trying to take in his aura and steal his energy. Almost as soon as he pulled back she began to tremble and thrash around. Her groans of pain once again becoming full blown screams of pain. Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed her hand, her body stilled and her screams became whimpers. Slowly her whimpers of pain faded away as well and Kagome opened her eyes. The glow around her body faded away and she fell on the bed beneath her body with a slight thump. Kagome moaned weakly and stood from the bed. She looked up at Sesshomaru a sad smile on her lips.



“Thank you Sesshomaru, but I think I should leave.”



“Why?”



“Because I don’t belong here, I never did.”



“Do you think you’ll belong there now with the powers you have?”



“No.”



Kagome kissed Sesshomaru lightly and started to pull away, when Sesshomaru pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. His fangs nipped at her bottom lip affectionately Kagome moaned against his lips making him growl lightly. Kagome gasped and Sesshomaru took advantage dipping his tongue into her mouth. Kagome pulled away when the need for air overwhelmed her. She kissed him lightly again her lips lingering for a minute before she pulled away and started packing her things. She was finish in a couple of minutes and turned back to him.



“What about the Sacred Jewel?”



“As long as I have a part of it with me, Naraku can never complete the jewel.”



“What about the taijiya, monk, and kitsune, will you leave them as well?”



“I have to. I don’t belong here, hell I don’t even belong there. But, now I’m stuck here belonging in neither time because of my selfish need to be here…to be with you.”



“Then, stay here with me.”



“I don’t belong here Sesshomaru, I never could. How could I stay and ever be happy knowing I’m … losing who I am?”



Kagome turned, grabbed her bag and walked out the room. She walked past Sesshomaru’s room and paused taking in how he smelled as the first of her tears fell. She started walking again and let her tears fall freely as she walked needing to release the pressure building in her heart with each step she took. Her steps got faster and faster until she was running through the halls toward the front door. Closing her eyes Kagome ran the last stretch of the hall and out the door. She ran to the weeping willow ad turned back searching for a last glimpse of the youkai who had helped her see the truth. Kagome sent out her mind looking for his, connecting with him.



‘Goodbye Sesshomaru. If you ever need me the weeping willow holds the key to finding me.’



Kagome turned and faded away on the wind. She reappeared in front of the old well and ran her fingers over the crumbling wood. She couldn’t face leaving without saying goodbye to Keade. Walking toward the village Kagome paused at the God Tree and ran her fingers over the bare spot on the tree that showed where Inuyasha was once held in eternal sleep. Walking again she thought of the night she had seen Inuyasha and Kikyo together the night she gave up on loving him. Next, the memory of her first reaction to seeing Sesshomaru came to mind, making her smile. She had thought he was beautiful and mysterious and dangerous. Then, she thought about earlier in the day when they had been kissing in the weeping willow on his lawn. Kagome was pulled from her memories when she felt a strong and unfamiliar presence behind her. Whirling around Kagome shot them with a holding spell she had learned when she was training with Keade. She moved closer to them her hands glowing with her power and her senses on high. She looked at the persons face and saw that it was Kouga. She released him from the holding spell.



“What are you doing here, Kouga?”



“I came to see the miko Keade.”



“In the middle of the night?”



“I was going to wait till morning.”



“Why do you want to talk to Keade?”



“Because I wanted to ask her about how to find someone.”



“Who?”



“Ayame.”



Kagome picked a flower from the ground and concentrated. It began to glow a soft blue. She handed it to Kouga who looked at her with an unreadable expression.



“This flower will take you to Ayame. Don’t lose it. She’s in the mountains between the northern and eastern lands. Good luck and goodbye Kouga.”



Kagome waved her hand and Kouga disappeared. Kagome walked back toward the well deciding to just leave. She jumped over the lip of the well and was engulfed in a blue light. Kagome climbed the latter out of the well and walked out of the well house closing the doors gently. She walked into the house and pictured the house clean and smelling like her mother, with a flick of her wrist the house was clean and smelled like her mother. Kagome walked into her room and laid down on her bed and went to sleep.





Sesshomaru was laying across his bed when Kagome’s voice drifted to him. He drifted off to sleep with her words on his mind.





Kagome woke up and took a hot shower. She walked out the bathroom and looked in her mirror. She dropped everything in her arms on the floor and moved closer to the mirror. Her hair was now silver with violet, blue, and red highlights and came down to her knees. Her eyes were still blue, but had specks of violet and red in them and were rimmed in silver. On her forehead she had the five symbols of the spirits she had absorbed into her soul around a blood moon rimmed in black. Her breasts were bigger and her butt was bigger as well. Kagome turned from the mirror and went to her closet. She pulled out a black mini skirt and a black tube top with black addidas. She walked back over to her mirror and said a quick spell to cover the crest on her forehead. Then, she walked out the house and went toward the mall. Kagome had graduated from high school almost three years ago and had been taking all her college classes over the Internet instead of going to a university. She would be finished her classes in about a month. Then, she would be a history major graduate. She had been taken with the feudal era since she first fell through the well and had become a specialist on the era. She was the top student in her Internet class and had been being asked to help several historians and museum owners with their work. Walking into the mall Kagome headed up to the store on the second floor that held a lot of things that were similar to the feudal era weaponry, but weren’t from that era.



“Hi, Kiera, anything new since the last time I was here?”



“Yep, just this one piece its in the back I’ll bring it out.”



Kagome looked around and sucked in a deep breath when she felt an aura that that she thought she wouldn’t ever feel again. Turning around Kagome saw a tall red haired man with bright green eyes. His aura felt exactly like Shippou’s.



“Shippou?”



Her voice was strangled and barely a whisper, but the man heard her. He looked at her with confusion then with hope.



“Kagome?”



She nodded and was pulled into a tight embrace. She hugged him back just as tight and let a few tears of happiness leak from her eyes. When they finally let each other go Shippou looked at her with hurt in his eyes.



“Why’d you leave without saying goodbye mom?”



“Because if I had said goodbye I wouldn’t have been able to leave.”



“Then, you should have said goodbye. Everybody suffered after you left. Inuyasha was killed by Naraku, Sango and Miroku were sucked into the wind tunnel, Rin was stolen away from the western lands and sold as a slave were she later died after being gang raped, I was almost killed when I tried to save Rin,-”



“Why didn’t Sesshomaru protect her?”



Shippou’s eyes became forlorn and he looked away remembering the fate of the once proud and arrogant demon lord.



“Shippou, what happened to Sesshomaru?”



“He…”



“Tell me.”



“He went to sleep that night and when he woke up became sick. He was stuck in his bed and slowly started to deteriorate. All he would say was ‘I have to get to the weeping willow, she told me I could find her if I went there.’ But, he never made it to the tree, the day he died he was slowly getting to the tree after months of building up his energy. He looked all around the tree and found a single shard of the jewel. He knew he had to get to the well to get to you but he wasn’t strong enough and fell into eternal rest laying at the base of the weeping willow with the jewel shard in his hand.”



Kagome barely felt the tears rolling down her cheeks she just turned and ran. She ran pass Kiera just as she came from the back holding the Tensaiga. Kagome ran and ran people looked at her as if she was crazy as she ran as fast as she could back to her house. She ran up to her room and packed all her stuff. She packed her clothes, shoes, makeup and hair products, everything. Kagome grabbed all her bags and walked out to the well house. Kagome closed the well house doors then went and jumped over the lip of the well. She lifted herself up and out of the well with her stuff and disappeared. She reappeared in her room at the castle. She dropped her stuff and ran to get Rin, Shippou, Sango, and Miroku. She went and told all of them that she was staying in the feudal era permanently. Then, she made her way to Sesshomaru’s room, she opened the door slowly and entered the room. Sesshomaru lay there sleeping peacefully. Kagome walked over to his bed and climbed up next to him. His eyes opened and he looked at her. Kagome sat there looking at him her hand went to his cheek and she felt the warmth radiating form his skin. Kagome laid next to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her face buried in his chest as she cried quietly. Sesshomaru didn’t know what was going on, but wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close enjoying the feel of her as he quieted her tears. Kagome laid there for a while quietly before she looked up at him and kissed him lightly.



“Why are you crying.”



“Because I saw Shippou in my time and he told me everything that happened after I left and I couldn’t let that happen. So I came back…I didn’t want you to die.”



“What was supposed to happen if you didn’t come back?”



“Inuyasha was killed by Naraku, Sango and Miroku were sucked into the wind tunnel, Rin was stolen away from the western lands and sold as a slave were she later died after being gang raped, Shippou was almost killed when he tried to save Rin and you… you got sick and your body started to deteriorate until you died.”



“I’m not going to get sick and waste away.”



Kagome kept quiet and just hugged him tighter. Sesshomaru hugged her tighter as well and laid there until Kagome feel asleep. Sesshomaru laid there with Kagome sleep in his arms thinking over everything she had said. But, one thought kept ringing in his mind, ‘I didn’t want you to die.’ He looked out the window and saw that it was getting late and that the ball would be starting in a couple of hours. He shook Kagome gently and smirked when she snuggled closer to him and swatted at his hand. He decided to try another method and rolled them over so that he was on top of her. Kagome squirmed underneath of him and tried to lift her hips, but Sesshomaru had her pinned. She squirmed harder trying to get free causing Sesshomaru to groan and close his eyes. Kagome opened her eyes when she heard him groan. She saw the affect she was having on him an smirked.

She pulled his face down to her own and kissed him passionately. Kagome managed to move her legs from under Sesshomaru so that he was lying between her thighs; she could feel his hardened member against her thigh. She ground against him hard and moaned at the friction it caused. Sesshomaru opened his eyes and growled lightly causing Kagome to shiver against him. Kagome sat up slightly and removed her tube top. Sesshomaru began to kiss and lick at the exposed skin, but growled in annoyance when he got to her bra. Kagome giggled and removed it as well, then removed his hoari. Sesshomaru took one of her nipples into his mouth and pinched and rolled the other one between his fingers. Kagome arched into his touch and moaned at all the new things she was feeling. Sesshomaru gave her other breast the same treatment before he slowly moved downward. He left a trail of open-mouthed kisses on her skin and stopped at the waist of her mini skirt. He pulled it down her thighs and off of her body then went back to kissing her skin as he cut way her panties careful no to cut her. He pushed her thighs apart of cupped her heat as he kissed her passionately and explored her mouth with his tongue. He slowly slipped a clawed finger inside of her careful not to cut her and began to pump into her. Kagome moaned and moved her hips in time to the thrusts. Sesshomaru added another finger and worked her a little more before adding a third finger. Kagome squirmed at the discomfort, but continued to move her hips in time to his thrusts. She whimpered when he withdrew his fingers from her core. He smirked and licked his fingers clean before he stood and took off his hakama’s. Kagome let her eyes wander down and sucked in a deep breath when she saw his overly well-endowed member. He smirked at the expression that crossed her face and climbed back on top of her. He claimed her lips in a passionate kiss and began to ease his swollen member inside of her. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut against the pain as he pressed into her. Tears escaped her eyes and her body tensed even more. Sesshomaru groaned at how tight she was and forced himself to remain still once he was all the way inside her. He licked away the tears streaming from her eyes and kissed each eyelid before he claimed her lips. Gradually, the pain faded away and Kagome wiggled her hips testing the pain. Sesshomaru hissed at the movement and Kagome smirked. He wiggled her hips harder and bucked her hips. Sesshomaru began to move in and out of her in a slow and rhythmic motion. Kagome found his rhythm and began to move with him. Their pace increased, going faster and harder until Kagome couldn’t keep up anymore and held on to him as he thrust into her with demonic speed. Kagome’s moans and screams of ecstasy drove Sesshomaru faster and harder into her core. Kagome rolled them over and began to ride Sesshomaru as fast and hard as she could. Sesshomaru had his hands on her hips and moved her body up and down as well as thrusting into her. Kagome pressed her hands against his chest as she rode him. Sesshomaru rolled them over and began thrusting into Kagome faster and harder then before. He could feel her tightening around him and sped up so that they could come together. Kagome reached her release and screamed out Sesshomaru’s name in ecstasy. Sesshomaru released his seed into Kagome and bit down into the junction of Kagome’s shoulder and neck, marking her as his mate. They lay there for a while in complete silence. Neither spoke because they just wanted to enjoy the moment, but that didn’t last long because a servant knocked on the door.



“Come in.”



“Milord the others lords wish to know if the ball is being postponed again.”



“Iie”



The servant nodded and left the room. Kagome closed her eyes and leaned back into the pillows behind her. She sigh contentedly, but opened her eyes when she felt Sesshomaru on top of her.



“Sesshou, get up.”



“Iie.”



“Come on I have to get dressed.”



“Later.”



“Iie, now. Now be a good puppy and let me up.”



Sesshomaru growled low in his throat making Kagome smirk in challenge. Kagome rolled them over and moved to get out of bed, but winced in pain. Sesshomaru moved from the bed and picked her up bridal style. He walked them into his private hot spring and set her in the steaming water. He washed her gently and slowly careful not to hurt her. Kagome smiled at how gentle and careful he was being and was happy her miko powers had kicked in to help her body with the pain. After, Sesshomaru finished washing her she washed him and then they went back into his room. Kagome wrapped herself in a sheet and left his room to go to her own which was down the hall. Kagome was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn’t realize that the eastern prince Ryomaru was standing in front of her. Kagome walked right into him and looked up with a startled face.



“Sorry Prince Ryomaru, I didn’t see you.”



“Whatever whore, just don’t touch me again.”



“I’d watch my mouth if I were you Ryomaru.”



The prince looked up to see Sesshomaru standing behind Kagome with his arms around her waist. He paled by about three shades when he looked into Sesshomaru’s eyes. He felt the rising of energy in front of him and let his eyes drift down to Kagome who was pissed off that the little bastard had called her a whore especially after the blunt disrespect he showed her yesterday upon arriving. Kagome held up her hand and slung it to the side and the prince went flying into the wall. Kagome walked toward him her eyes glowing with her power.



“If you ever disrespect me again I will personally rip your dick from your body and feed it to you, you insolent little bastard.”



After, Kagome had slammed him into the wall her clothes had changed and she was wearing a all white Athenian dress with a slim gold chain draped around her hips, her feet bare. Everyone seemed to come running after they felt her power flare up. So that Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Rin, Shippou, Kouga, Lord Diamaro, Lady Takima, Lord Kyomaru, Lady Kaori, and Princess Naori now stood in the hallway watching her. Kagome put her hand against the princes throat and let her hand full with her purifying energy so that she burned the skin from the princes throat.



“Be lucky that I’m going to over look the blunt show of disrespect toward me yesterday because if I wasn’t you’d be dead. Now, if you ever call me out of my name again you will die and don’t mistake me ever again as one of the common whores you use to warm our own bed because I’m sure my mate won’t appreciate it. Oh and for future warning Princess Naori I’d watch what I do and say to Sesshomaru from now on if I were you because the disrespect you showed me yesterday wasn’t forgotten. An I won’t hesitate to purify your ass or anyone else’s who pisses me off.”



Kagome leaned her head to the side some so that everyone could see Sesshomaru’s mark on her neck. Without further thought Kagome sent the prince flying with a flick of her wrist into another wall. Then, she turned an walked away heading back to Sesshomaru’s room. All eyes were now on Sesshomaru who just gave them all a bored look and returned to his room to calm his angry mate.
