Twist of Fate
Sorry All!! I know it’s been ages since my last update. I can only say my personal and professional life has gotten away from me! (I.E. more work, new niece, family moves, etc) I will be updating this story once (1) a month.
(I figure at least you know when the next update will be and if I get to it sooner then you will be happy readers) And as always thanks to my beta my tenshi! She takes my somewhat bad mistakes and make them better!
I also was going to put our favorite hanyou in this chapter but decided fuck it! If some guy broke my heart with my best friend we weren’t going to make up in five chapters or less! Anyway enough about me!
Read enjoy and if your motivated review! OR email!
Twist of fate:
Did I miss the damn memo that stated that my life had to have to so many gyakuun’s? When did I become the pin up girls for the Kami’s to play with? And the worst thing is now I am whining! I hate whiners! Yet even I could not deny that the last few days have been more difficult than normal….
Now that I was done with my little melt down, I could turn to the question of what in the hell he was doing here?! I mean, hello?! Did the idiot just expect me to fall into his arms and swear eternal love? Or maybe he thought that after all these years together I would be that easy. Was he expecting me to just lie down and be grateful for the scraps of attention that he doled out? Maybe, my treacherous heart hoped, he saw the errors of his ways. I growled at the thought of what exactly brought him here to me. My vision bled to a field of red as I thought about the upcoming confrontation.
Somewhere deep inside I was appalled at how all the answers that had come to my mind so quickly seemed to involve violence. I guess though that I had some things to learn when it came to dealing with my beast. No wonder hanyou’s had such a hard time. To be something that had two opposing natures within must have made daily life a struggle. My beast had no problem with violence, apparently inspiring fear in others was okay with my beast. Pack mentality meant someone had to be alpha, beta, and omega. And my inner bitch was proud to say we were not only mated to the alpha male but we were consequently the alpha female.
I could hear my mate approaching me on swift silent feet. I gave a high pitched bark to let him know I wanted him to remain hidden. I could feel his amusement at my wanting to handle this by myself. So glad I could provide fucking comic relief to him. Oh yeah, laugh it up, Fluffy, she who laughs last laughs the hardest! I wasn’t the queen of pranks for no reason!
Closer and closer the dummy drew. Didn’t he sense that there was something different in my aura? Ne, that was giving him much more credit than he deserved. I could only hope that she would be happy with her choices. After all sometimes the reality of your decisions could not hold up to the daydreams.
Waiting for him almost made me want to run just so I could get this altercation over with. However, in battle preparation is all. I sat upon a boulder wondering how much longer would it take for him to show up.
He burst through the trees, a study in motion. Maybe it was my new gifts but never before had I appreciated the motion of his body. No, not like I would look upon my mate, more like the way one would admire an athlete. Then he had to ruin the moment by speaking.
This Heart of Mine
“I’ve really screwed up this time. Kagome hasn’t come back. I never meant to hurt her. It wasn’t planned. Not that it makes it any better. I have betrayed her trust and hurt one of my truest friends. I don’t know if she’ll ever recover. The dead look in her eye when she turned and left the camp. It broke my heart. My heart that I don’t often show to everyone, in this time tenderness could get a person killed. And yet she wears hers on her sleeve. Time and time again she has helped save my life. She has cared for me, feed me and healed me. And how have I repaid these acts of kindness? By loving someone else, by the very acts of my dishonesty I repaid kindness with hurt. Affection with alienation. I ponder my future, and pray to all the Kami’s above that it will include her. For I cannot imagine a world that does not include her, I cannot see a future for myself without her there."
A fool’s errand:
“Kagome, where is Inu-Trasha, and why are you here alone? I knew that baka couldn’t take care of my woman.”
'Kami, Kouga could give a caveman a run for his money.' I shook my head.
“Hey when did you become a youkai? Wow! that's great, Kagome! Now we really can become mates. The ookami tribe will have to accept you now!”
I narrowed my eyes. 'Did Kouga really think that he was going to bring me into a pack where the majority didn’t want me because I was human? Fuck! I growled at him. “I am already mated, Kouga, and you are suppose to mate Ayame! What's wrong with you?!” Damn, I forgot the decibels that high would hurt my ears. I narrowed my gaze at him. “Do you mean to tell me Kouga, Prince of Ookami tribe of the East that you were going to introduce me to a pack that didn’t want a ningen as their alpha? Not to mention that Ayame, whom had a claim on you from years AGO, would have challenge me! Are you really that stupid or do you work hard at it?”
Maybe I took it a tad too far with that last remark, and yes, I should have paid attention to his body language. If I had, I would not have found myself flipping in the air to dodge his kick. Nope, not good. I don’t know what I would have done next but a blur of white hurled from the forest aiming for Kouga and then they were gone. I winced in pity for Kouga. True, he hadn’t landed a hit, but that didn't mean Sesshoumaru would take it easy on him. I sat back down to await the return of my mate relaxing only a little.
When I picked up on the aura of another youkai, I can’t say I was surprised. As a matter of fact I knew it was just a matter of time before she showed up. Right on time Ayame burst from the tree line skidding to a stop. “Who are you demoness and where is Lord Koga?” 'Didn’t anybody have any manners anymore?' I stood up, coming up to my new height. I was so not having this conversation sitting down!
“Ayame, Lady of the Northern Ookami tribe, I welcome you to the Western Lands. I am the mate of Lord Sesshoumaru, ruler of these lands.” Wicked me, I had neglected to give her my name. Let us see if she would adhere to custom and use better manners than she had so far. She reigned herself in, barely. I could see what a struggle it was for her. “What business brings you to the Western Lands?” Yep, a spike in temper ran through her eyes.
“Lady of the West, I have come looking for my mate-to-be, Lord Koga of the Ookami Tribe of the East. His trail has led me here. I ask for your permission to continue to hunt him on your lands. I also humbly request that the Lady of West give me her name.”
Damn! Boxed in by my own game. Very well, she deserved to know who I was. “Lady Ayame, my name is Kagome, former companion to the hanyou InuYasha.” I never knew ookami or any other youkai could faint. I concentrate my youkai and made a sphere of water appear hovering over her. I doused Ayame with it. She came to sputtering and indignant. I could relate.
“Is this some kind of trick, Kagome? I heard that you left InuYasha heart broken, that he mated with the Demon-Slayer, that you were so angry you abandoned your kit. And now here you are Lady of the West? Fickle, aren’t you? Or did you decide that since you couldn’t have one brother you’d turn to the other? Got to admit, at least you’re smart. You traded up!”
In my entire life, debacle with InuYasha and Sango included, have I ever been this angry! My claws pierced my skin as my fist were drawn in tight. “Let me tell you something, Ayame. Yes, I was foolishly in love with the hanyou. But at least I have pride and left rather than stay and chase one who did not want me. Traded up, you have some nerve! How could I have traded up? Never in my wildest dreams would I think that Sesshoumaru would have noticed me, a mere human. I never aspired to better because I could not see anything but InuYasha. Had I known how Lord Sesshoumaru would pick up the pieces of my broken heart and guard them I would have run to him long ago!
"He is the one who makes me feel cherished and love. I can only be hopeful that he will not be fickle with his affections and that he will always remain faithful to me. How dare you come here and attempt to cast dispersions upon my character and my relationship?” At this moment my eyes had turned red and my demon markings were growing jagged. Well, okay, maybe I was a little sensitive about my relationship with Sesshoumaru. Years of put downs and emotional abuse had taken their toll on me. A small part of me still didn’t believe someone that gorgeous could love me.
(I figure at least you know when the next update will be and if I get to it sooner then you will be happy readers) And as always thanks to my beta my tenshi! She takes my somewhat bad mistakes and make them better!
