Chapter 6 Disappearing Beauty

Kagome stood watching the scene detached. She watched what she called her ‘old self’ play out what had to be something important.

The village was like many of the others she had passed through. It was full of fields and huts. The villager’s were friendly to her ‘old self’ as she helped where she was needed. She was dressed as a miko but her colors were different from others she had seen. Her Hakama were forest green her kimono white and trimmed in the green along with her slash. Her long raven hair hung in a large rope braid instead of tried in the usual way. Kagome noticed even though her ‘old self’ smiled she didn’t seem happy.

The scene changed and she stood in front of the large hut she knew her ‘old self’ lived in. It was unlike all the others; on the mat hanging over the door was painted a crescent moon and the setting sun.


She had woken before the sun bathed and dressed. And as usual the sun greeted her as she sat on the small porch of her hut. She sipped her tea and thought of the recent events of her life. A smile graced her beautiful face remembering how Maru had confessed his love to her.

He had taken her to beautiful spot it was a meadow filled with radiant flowers that shined purple in the moon light. The whole place glistened with fallen dew it was enchanting. The fireflies played across the meadow landing every now and than on a flower.

They stopped for a few minutes he watched as she took in the beauty of the place then walked her further to the back. The sound of water filled her ears but the sight that greeted her was nothing short of amazing. The full moon reflected on crystal clear water, Sakura trees surrounded the whole area as lotus flowers bloomed along the bank.

But they didn’t stop there he took her behind the waterfall. To a small cave that glowed from some strange light source. At was as if a thousand small jewels were placed everywhere. He stopped and pulled her to her knees on the soft sand that covered the cave floor. He stared into her eyes for the longest time saying nothing, then as if finding what he was looking for he spoke. He spoke of his life and what his life would be like without her. As if in a trance he touched her face softly and confessed to loving her.

“It was like a fairy tale” she sighed.

Sesshoumaru visited her days later ‘the figure in red’ even put in an appreance spoiling their private moment. For two hours he lay in the corner of her hut glaring at the two saying nothing.

The two said nothing to him; Kagome was just content to be held by her Maru. But as all ways he could sense her irritation so he whispered in her, she couldn’t help but laugh. He saw Inu Yasha’s frown deepen when he couldn’t hear what he had told Kagome.

“Mama,” came two voices as Shippo and Rin raced through the open door. They dropped next to the couple brilliant smiles on their faces.

“Hai, my Hearts,” Kagome questioned sweetly.

“Mama Can we visit Rin-nee-chan... she said Chichi-ne got her something new and I want to see it. Can we pleeeeeessseee?”

She couldn’t hear what was said but the two children seemed very happy about it. Kagome sighed from beside them hoping this event would lead her to what happened to her.

“YAY,” they cheered and ran off again laughing and planning for their visit. ‘The figure in red’ jumped up growling.

“No you don’t bitch. I know what you’re planning and it’s not going to work. You made me a promise you no good lying whore. And I except you to live up to it,” Sesshoumaru stopped his rant by grabbing him up by his throat.

“If you ever talk to my mate-to-be like that again you will die hanyou. Learn your place bastard,” he growled to punctuate his statement he tossed ’the figure in red’ out the hut into the dirt.

“Mate, Haha Haha we’ll see you’ll never take my Kikyo from me never,” he growled low picking himself up and limping away.

“Maru you shouldn’t have said that...I didn’t”

“I know but he had to find out...” he stop narrowing his golden eyes at her. “Are you ashamed that you love me? Or is it my love for you?”

“No Maru it’s not like that...it’s just... (sigh) Never mind. Just hold me again onegai”
he was about to speak but the sadness in her eyes made him pause as he studied her. He drew her in his arms kissing her on the forehead and sighed inwardly.

“Kagome one day you will be my mate. As lady of the Western Lands you will live within my lands and home. You know you can’t stay here forever the whelp will just have to learn to live with it”

“I made him a promise Maru”

“And what of your promise to this Sesshoumaru. Am I not as important as the Hanyou?”

“That’s not true or fair Maru. I’ve given you my heart and soul; you’re the most important thing to me beside Shippo and Rin”

“If that is so why do you deny me your answer? Why do you refuse to give yourself fully to me and only me? Are you giving yourself to that hanyou is that it?” he growled gripping her shoulder.

“No, why would even think such a thing? What has gotten into you Maru?” she sobbed feeling his claws sinking in her skin.

“Then why Kagome why do you deny me?” he hissed.

“Onegai Maru your hurting me,” she cried out. The smell of her blood hit his nose he quickly looked to her shoulder seeing his claws covered in her blood. He was shaking slightly as he released her and stepped back. The golden hue of his eyes quickly returned as he looked away from her not wanting to see her tears. “This Sesshoumaru did not mean to hurt you.”

Kagome smiled sadly at the two ’so this was life before?’ she thought watching as they stood in silence as ’her old self’ wiped her blood from his claws and smiled at him softly.

He watched still silent as she healed the marks left by his claws. Her sigh drew his eyes to her face. “I still don’t understand. You know I don’t care for him like I use too. Why would say such a thing Maru?”

He sat on his knees in front of her cupping her chin making her look up at him.

“No, you don’t understand Kagome. I want you all of you in every way possible. Not just your heart and soul, but your mind and body as well. Do you not desire us is that it? Are we unappealing to your eyes? Or are you afraid we will hurt you?” he finished in a small whimper; the red in his golden eyes told her who really made the statement.

Kagome chuckled light ‘Who would have thought the great taiyoukai was so afraid of rejection’Not believing her ears for some reason.

“Oh Maru believe me there is nothing about you that I find unappealing. I just want to wait. So put those thoughts out of your mind there is no one for me but you. It’s just for a while I have to stay here. I am sorry,” she finished in whisper stroking his cheek.

“What are you not telling me Kagome? Is it the hanyou? Has he done something?”

“No, I am a female of my word nothing more. It will work out and we will be together,” she smiled he sighed and kissed her cheek quickly and stood.

“I will see you in a few days”

“Okay I love you Maru,” she smiled up at his stoic face.

“And I you. With one word this Sesshoumaru would take you away from all of this Kagome. Think about it,” he growled softly leaving.

The scene changed for which Kagome was grateful as she wiped tears from her eyes. She didn’t know the couple but she heard the Kit screaming their names and waving at the group. What worried her as the event play out was the figure in red was no where around.

Kouga had come the next day with a very pregnant Ayame. The two Ookami augured most of the visit but Kagome could clearly see they were in love. Shippo played with the wolf pups out side the hut.

As the sunset it was decided that Kagome and Shippo would leave out with the group the next morning.

Since Ayame was getting bigger Kagome gladly gave up her bed to the female youkai and her mate. Checking on Shippo she found he had crammed as many wolves as he could into his small room. They watched as she packed him a small bag, covered him up and kissed his cheek.

“Goodnight guys,” she whispered to the watching wolves.

Ginta, Hakkaku and their mates took the other room.

Kagome watched as ‘her old self’ smiled as if remembering something important about the two male wolves. She sighed wishing again she could remember as well the two seem very nice to her.

she stoked the fire with a yawn, the wolves in the room growled softly and two nudged her toward the pillows in the corner. “Okay I am going,” she laughed softly. The other wolves sniffed around for a moment then settled down to watch over the hut.

Kagome sighed and rolled over, her little hut was always so full when Kouga visited. But she didn’t mind through the villagers were still a little on edge about the wolves. She sent her aura out searching the area for danger finding nothing she settled into sleep.

Kagome woken before sunrise making tea then dressing. Her hut was slumbering peacefully so she once again found her way to the porch. Sipping her tea she again pondered over the strange behavior of her friend as of late. He had taken to calling her whore, wench, Kikyo, never her name. Even accursed her of things like she was his mate or something.

“Oh Maru some times I wish you would just take me away,” she sighed.

Kagome hated she could not warn her ‘old self’ about the ‘figure in red’ watching her.


The sun still had not risen as Kagome picked up her bucket and headed to the river for water. She hummed as she walked swinging the pale back and forth. The ‘figure in red’ jumped from a tree behind her. She turned and greeted the figure warmly.

Kagome couldn’t see his face again but this time she did see the little silver ears that were perched on top his silver head. She had a feeling something was wrong, something was off about the figure. He was growling low and the way he held his body was as if....

Kagome listened as he ranted and raged about being betrayed and about how he knew what game she was playing. He was yelling something about ‘his Kagome’

Kagome knew by now she couldn’t change anything in her dreams.

She could do nothing but watch horrified as the figure back handed her ‘old self’ calling her Kikyo. Telling ‘her old self’ to give Kagome back her soul that she was dead and nothing could change that. The figure slashed her over and over again with his claws. All the while screaming at this Kikyo person.

Kagome couldn’t stop the scream that erupted from her throat watching as ‘her old self’ was attacked. She was bleeding badly and trying to fight back but she was powerless against the figure as he attacked. She pleaded with the figure to stop and that she was Kagome but it didn’t listen.

The figure grabbed her up by the throat shaking her when a large boomerang broke through the trees flying straight at them. He dropped her bloody ’old self’ jumping out the way of the powerful weapon. A tall slender woman stepped into the trees; she had long brown hair and brown hard eyes as she stared at the scene. She was dressed in a green and white kimono with pink flowers on it. The woman caught the boomerang with one hand and yelled for the figure to stop.

Kagome couldn’t make out half of what he was saying. Only that ‘her old self’ had to die so the other could have her soul back. Then he attacked the girl with boomerang. When she was down he turned back to ‘her old self’ slashing her across the back as she turned to get away. Light exploded from the tree line as both Kagomes clutched their chest.

“Give it back Kikyo give Kagome back her soul”

“I AM KAGOME,” she screamed jumping awake clutching her chest. Her scream waking the Inu youkai sleeping next to her.

Sesshoumaru held her shaking form in his arms before the next scream left her throat. He could hear her heart pounding in her chest as she sobbed in his chest.

“It was just a dream Koishii. You’re fine now,” he whispered trying to calm her.

“No no I felt it the claws, his claws. She/I had betrayed him Maru,” she sobbed.

“Who Kagome?”

“A youkai Maru dressed in red with silver hair. But how did I betray him Maru? How?”

“It was just a dream koishii”

“Maru,” Came her small voice as she once again buried her face in his chest. “Maru did I . . . did I die?” she questioned her small voice tore at his insides. He held her tighter rocking her back and forth in his arms attempting to calm her.

“No, koishii it was just a dream” he spoke kissing her forehead. He hated mornings like this the dreams haunted and terrified her, he would do anything just to make them stop. ‘Kami will I get her back just to loose her to madness’

“But...but Maru he said...he said I stole another’s soul. Maru is my soul...is my soul not my own but another’s?” the pain in her eyes was enough to bring him to his knees if he wasn’t all ready sitting down. He knew what she dreaming about having heard what happened from Sango.

Sesshoumaru urged by a few of his trusted warriors that were friends of Kagome, not to tell her all that they knew of her pasted. Everyone agreed she seemed happier, lighter without knowing all that she had done. Before it seemed as if her pure heart and soul was dieing, with what she use to call all the blood on her hands. Now it was different, she was different and he’d be damned if anyone changed that. But the dreams, the dreams bothered him she was remembering something but at what price.

“Kagome listen to me, that was just a dream a horrible dream your soul has always been your’s”

“I know it was a dream but...” she started looking away from him. He pulled her face back to his making her look at him.

“No buts Kagome either you believe this Sesshoumaru or not?”

“I believe you Maru,” she smiled kissing his cheek. Sesshoumaru sighed inwardly even though it did not show to others he would do anything for this onna. He saw her smile last week and it was the same smile of the woman/child he fell in love with while they were hunting Naraku. When he heard her laughter he was convinced he had done the right thing not revealing all that he knew about her.

Sesshoumaru smirked into her hair his youkai giving him ideals on how to change her mood.

“S-Sesshoumaru,” she stuttered as he swiftly stood and tossed her over his shoulder carrying her into the bathing chamber. After he placed her on her feet Kagome watched as he undressed and slid into the water beckoning her in with a look.

Kagome looked to the Taiyoukai waist deep in the bathing pool; she knew he was holding something back from her. But when she looked into his eyes like now, when he smiled that smile of his just for her she felt her very soul sing with happiness. She smiled at him shyly watching as pink bleed into his eye’s as he watched her undress. She felt the heat pooling in her stomach as she move toward him in the water. He had not touch her in the month she had been living with him beside the occasional kiss, she was happy when he decided she would sleep in his bed. But still he would not touch her only slept next to her or watched her sleep.

Sesshoumaru couldn’t help the low lustful growl that left his throat watching as she walked toward him, her yukata slipping off her shoulders to pool at her feet as she moved. His eyes followed her was walked in the pool and went under the water. He hissed in pleasure as her hands latched onto his body and she pulled herself up along his body.

They both panted their excitement their breath mingled as their lips touched softly.

Kagome took her time tracing his lips with the tip of her tongue. She demanded entrance and he welcome her as their tongues begun a slow, sensual dance wrapping around each other writhing in pleasure. His grip on her tighten as that moan he loved slipped into his mouth.

His fang pieced her tongue his growl deepens vibrating through Kagome rewarding him with another moan. Sesshoumaru abandoned her lips instead sucking on her bleeding tongue greedily.

After what seemed like an eternity Kagome felt the clawed hand move from her neck and down her spine. Summoning what ever determination she had Kagome moved back from him. Both panting for breath filling their starved lungs.

Opening her eyes she stared at the half-lidded darkening golden eyes, pleasure unlike any she had ever known tingled down her spine. She took in his face as he panted for breath fangs bared and stained with her blood she could help but feel empowered.

She gave into the urge licking the corner of his mouth were a small line of her blood had escape. Sesshoumaru growled again and tried to pull back for another kiss.

Kagome kissed his cheek and reached over his broad shoulder. “Bath time,” her heated whisper caressed his pointed ear causing him to shiver lightly. Kagome pulled back sponge in hand and smiled at him.

Sesshoumaru did not want to bathe no that would come later right now he needed to be inside her. Long denied fantasies filled his head of the ways he could take her in his private bath. He was snapped from his lust crazed daze feeling her straddle his legs. His clawed hands latched onto her waist holding her in place as another lust filled growl slipped from his lips feeling her pressed so tightly against his tortured flesh. His blood beast going wild in his mind.

Kagome on the other hand seemed to pay no mind to his lustful growls or the glowing of his eyes. She moved the soapy sponge across his heated flesh watching as his muscles jerked and trembled under her light touch.

Sesshoumaru didn’t know how much more he could take before what little control he had would snap. He swallowed the whimper the tried to escape when she finally moved away from him. Kagome perched on the side on the pool and beckoned him toward her.

Sesshoumaru had followed her with his eyes hungrily turning with a smirk and took her in, in all her glory. He raven hair glisten from the water as it clung to her equally wet body. The glistening drops of water raced down her curves in a way that made him want to trace their paths with his tongue. Her legs were spread wide as if inviting him to feast upon her to his leisure.

He stopped between her legs as the scent of arousal started to cloud his already hazy mind.

Kagome took advantage of his distracted state and turned him around washing his back. She laughed lightly at his disappointed huff; Kagome knew what he wanted but decided to play with him a little first. “Rinse,” she spoke close to his ear after washing his hair.

Blazing red eyes watched her from just below the waters surface as she waited for him to surface. Sesshoumaru surfaced slowly never taking his eyes off her glistening core licking his lips.

Her excitement grew to a fevered pitch watching him as water streamed down his face that held hungry red eyes. It was something about those eyes the made the pulses between her legs grow. His nostrils quivered taking in her heavy arousal, his lips parted showing off his fangs as he panted for breath.

Kagome leaned forward a little not thinking about the position she was in smoothing the water from his hair. As Sesshoumaru’s head bent back with her hands his warm breath caress her breast. He gave into the urge and flicked her nipple with his tongue a few times savoring her taste before closing his mouth over the distended tip. Her mewl of pleasure snapped the tiny bit of control he did have.

Sesshoumaru pulled her form her perch crushing her to his hard body; Kagome wrapped her legs quickly around his waist. Her growl was like music to his ears as he slammed her down on his painfully hard erection. He howled with pleasure was her muscles tighten around him from his quick entrance.

They kissed wildly his fangs drawing blood from her lips, as he started lifting her and slamming her down onto his erection. Her nails dug into his shoulders she could only hold on to him.

Neither noticed the crash of their energies above them. Maybe it was a good thing she decides to place a barrier around the room when they entered.

Sesshoumaru tore his lips from hers snarling in pleasure as her body shakes and her walls squeeze him even tighter. Kagome could believe it her throat seized for a moment turning her moan in to a deep growl of pleasure. His stomach clenched at the sound and in favor of hearing it again he sped up his already frantic pace slamming her down harder and faster on his turgid length.

Each harder thrust had Kagome howling and snarling in a pleasure high followed by Sesshoumaru’s heated howls in response. The room was filled with the sound of splashing water as their two bodies crashed together at a maddening pace. Both gave in to the wild heat eating through their veins, wildly biting and scratching each other until pain mixed with pleasure.

Neither noticed how the already hot water almost boiled around them.

His seed boiled in his body to be released when he felt her tighten around him again for the fourth time. Her breath came out in quick burst against his neck, he felt her inner muscles tighten around him almost painfully, her body tensed. Her teeth dug into his flesh in the next moment her howl of pleasure was muffled by his hot skin.

Kagome felt his hard body tremble, his loud snarling howls vibrated through her body. Suddenly his body went ridge as he exploded inside her, throwing back his head he released a loud roar. At the same time the energies above them crashed together again and exploded into a shower of light that rained down on them.

Neither moved as their heads lay on the others shoulder as they tried to regain their breath. Kagome opened eyes after she calmed a bit.

“Its . . . Beautiful,” she whispered Sesshoumaru finally opened his eyes at her whispered awe. They looked at the purple lights raining down on them.

“Yes,” he wonders if she knew that she had caused this, but from the look on her face he could tell she didn’t.

Sometime later after getting dressed Sesshoumaru found him pressing his forehead against Kagome’s after releasing her lips yet again. Kagome moved and rested her head on his chest he could have smiled from the contentment in his very soul.

“I feel the same way,” Kagome suddenly spoke.

“About what?” he questioned drawing back confused.

“You said when this life ends and begins again know this my soul belongs to you and it will always find you” he studied her face with a frown. She could see the question in his eyes.
“What I heard you just now”

“I said nothing Kagome”

“But I . . . I heard you Maru. I heard the beating of your heart and then you spoke. I know I heard you,” trying to make him believe her. She knew she heard him there is no mistaking his voice. Why was he trying to pertain she did not hear him.

Sesshoumaru frowned inwardly again he was struck with the thought she might be loosing her mind. He cupped her chin gently looking deep into her panicked eyes.

“Kagome I have not spoke those words to you in three years.” her eyes widen.

“That’s impossible I heard you. I know I did” He knew this was upsetting her to much so he did the one thing he knew could calm her. He pulled her into his arms, he knew he had not spoken those exact words to her in years not since the day he told her how he felt. But then his thoughts brighten at his beast growled suggestion that maybe she was getting parts of her memory back.

“Be calm Kagome, you told me once in moments when we touch my very soul speaks to you. Even went so far to say you knew of my love for you before I even spoke of it”

“Really,” her voice as hopeful as her eyes as she looked to his face.

“You doubt this Sesshoumaru?” he growled playfully hoping to sooth her distress.

Jaken entered the room before she could reply clear upset about something. Sesshoumaru not liking the disrespect the Gami was showing was about to kick him back out the door, but the slight touch of Kagome’s hand on his arm stilled his angry. She smiled down at the Gami pulling away from Sesshoumaru.

“What is the matter Jaken?” to which he gave her a nervous look.

“Speak up,” Sesshoumaru snapped.

“My Lord, My Lady the hanyou and the Ladies friends have arrived,” he spoke quickly and watched as Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru with a questioning look.

“Sesshoumaru who is this hanyou that upsets Jaken so?” she felt rather then saw him stiffen from the question. He stared into her eyes for moment his face unreadable. ’will this do more harm than good?’ His eyes harden, his face blank.

“He is this Sesshoumaru’s half brother,” He hissed.

“I assumed your half brother was full bloodied like you Sesshoumaru not a hanyou,” she tapped her chin again in that cute way.

“hn,”’right I never told her Inu Yasha was a hanyou’ “It matters not your friends that monk and the slayer have arrived.” he turned to leave her voice stopped him.

“But wouldn’t the hanyou be my friend as well you said I use to travel with him?” Sesshoumaru didn’t know what to say they had talked at length about many things but Inu Yasha. So deep in thought he never noticed Kagome shrug and started walking away.
