Chapter 6

Reflections of the Past


After living trough his real-life, day-time nightmare; Inuyasha decided to go home and just think. For Inuyasha, thinking is not commonplace and should not be taken lightly. But…. He really needed to ponder upon his situation with Kagome and his brother.

Where did he go wrong…?

When did it happen…?

How could he fix it…?

Lying back on his couch, Inuyasha hoped that taking a trip down memory lane would help.

…………

He remembered the first day that he met Kagome… Sesshomaru invited her to their home for dinner. That act in itself was very odd; Sesshomaru NEVER invited anyone over. Nevertheless, there Kagome sat at their dinner table.

She looked young. Inuyasha later found out that he is two years older than her and Sesshomaru is five years older. That fact didn’t bother his brother one bit… or his father. The old man always let Sesshomaru have any thing that he wanted.

Soon Kagome became a common fixture in their home, and Inuyasha had yet to figure out why. The only thing that he managed to find out was that Kagome and Sesshomaru were good friends. One night, though, that changed. While snooping outside his father’s study, Inuyasha heard his father and brother talking…

“Sesshomaru, are you sure that you want this?”

“I’m sure, father. I know this is what I want; I have known this for some time now.”

“She is still young, Sesshomaru…”

“…. And I’m willing to wait…”

Inuyasha pulled his ear back from the door. He now had a new found knowledge of the girl’s presents in their house. And then it hit him… this girl is the only thing that Sesshomaru ever wanted that his father could not just give to him… humph… Inuyasha decided to make sure that Sesshomaru wouldn’t get what he wanted this time.

…………

One the couch, Inuyasha smiled at his thoughts. Yes… that is where it all started. That very night, he planed to destroy his brother’s future with Kagome.

…………

Weeks passed and Inuyasha learned that his father worked out an arrangement with Kagome’s mother. He didn’t know all of the details and really didn’t care. He was only concerned about one stipulation, and it stated that… ‘The marriage will automatically be considered final should Sesshomaru take her virginity before the wedding….’ It also stated that… ‘The arrangement will be the automatically considered void should Kagome lose her virginity to anyone but Sesshomaru…’ Either way that stiff bastard would come out on top, because Kagome knew nothing about the arrangement.

Inuyasha was determined to have Kagome for his own and let Sesshomaru envy him for a change. With that thought in mind, he slowly began to get to know Kagome but his plans changed slightly. Instead wishing his brother unhappiness, he now just wanted Kagome.

His chance came when Sesshomaru went off to college. The bastard left with instructions for Inuyasha not to go near Kagome, but that did not stop him. At the spring festival following Sesshomaru’s departure, Inuyasha made his move and asked Kagome to be with him. Of course, she answered yes; she didn’t know that she was to be a married woman in the near future and Inuyasha was not about to tell her. Instead, he started Kagome’s first real relationship.

…………

He shook his head slightly. Maybe that’s where he went wrong. Inuyasha couldn’t believe what he is thinking, but maybe his execution could have gone smoother.

Inuyasha shifted on the pillows on the sofa. His plan had unquestionably flawed. While he had been busy falling in love with Kagome, he had forgotten someone else….

…………

Almost two months into Inuyasha’s new relationship, someone from his past showed up to play havoc on his new found love.

Kikyo, Inuyasha’s ex-girlfriend, had moved away some time ago but returned. She became enraged when she found out that he had gotten a new girlfriend; and a younger one at that.

The first couple times she that went to Inuyasha, he ignored her. He refused to cheat on Kagome. So… Kikyo came up with another approach. Though skillful information manipulation, she learned that Inuyasha’s relationship was not sexual. In fact, this Kagome seemed to be a bit prudish. Taking that into account, She began to tell Inuyasha what he should expect out of a serious relationship.

Now that worked… Inuyasha didn’t really know when it started, but he began to demand things from Kagome. After listening to Kikyo, he also thought that is was rather odd that they had yet to have sex or any type of sexual experience… so he demanded that they do something... anything. Even threw his sexual conquest in his brother’s face; but fail to mention that he only succeeded in acquiring oral sex.

All through his relationship with Kagome, Sesshomaru still remained a constant figure. Kagome refused to let go of her loyalty for the bastard. However Sesshomaru’s loyalty was not as strong… as soon as he told his brother about the wonderful ‘sex’ he shared with Kagome; their friendship became one sided.

Upsetting his brother was enough for a while, but Inuyasha still felt unsatisfied. Kagome now depended on him for support and that was good, but he wanted to force his hand a little more. Kikyo told him that they should already be past foreplay, especially since he and Kagome lived together, and he agreed. However, Kagome remained strong in her resolve.

So… Inuyasha restarted his relation with Kikyo. Why not have both women?

…………

Inuyasha shifted again as his brain started to turn out more of the past. Starting that relationship with Kikyo, is where everything went wrong. Actually… taking any of her advice had been a mistake as well.

…………

With his brother out of the picture, there was nothing to stop Inuyasha from bending Kagome to his will… at least, that’s what he thought. After ridding Kagome of the rest of her friends, Inuyasha began to knock her down. Kikyo told him that in a moment of weakness, a woman would be susceptible to sexually advances. So he followed her advice and began to chip away at Kagome’s self-esteem. Much to his dismay, it didn’t fully work. It only caused more fights, and eventually, their break-up.

Inuyasha got tired of all the fighting and decided to give up his five year relationship with Kagome. He figured hat Kikyo would be more agreeable. Boy was he ever wrong… immediately he noticed that she was not being faithful. She would not cook, clean, or wash. The only thing that woman ever did was to spend the money that his father gave him; and that too stopped.

After a month of Kikyo, he began to miss Kagome; though he would not admit it. The night he left her, Inuyasha knew that he broke her heart but it did not stop him from wanting to see her again. So… he would make up lame excuses to see Kagome, but she never complied. Kagome avoided him like the plague. Finally the urge to see her became intolerable and he decided that he would stop by no matter what.

He would never forget that morning. Sesshomaru answered Kagome’s door half asleep and half dressed. And the things that were implied was unimaginable.. That is until he saw the evidence on the bed. In one night Sesshomaru took what Inuyasha had been trying to get in five years. Not only that but Kagome’s mother showed up to tell them that Kagome had left the country indefinitely

…………

Inuyasha huffed in annoyance. Kagome could have said goodbye. And… he couldn’t be mad at her; it was, at least, half of his fault. Suddenly his thoughts wandered over to the events of today.

…………

It’s not enough that he had to live with the fact that Sesshomaru was the one that Kagome’s virginity, but he also caught them in bed together. Well… not really together, but the implications were very clear. Sesshomaru’s room smelled like fresh sex and he was on the bed still nude. To top it all off, Kagome walked out of bathroom nude as well.

He now had some questions to ask himself. Does he still want Kikyo, or is he willing to let her go for a half of, of a half of a chance with Kagome?

…………


Suddenly, someone started knocking on the door. Inuyasha decided to finish his thinking session once his uninvited guest left. “Hold on a damn second!” He yelled. Truth be told, he really didn’t want company at the moment.

Kikyo stood outside Inuyasha’s apartment impatiently waiting for him to answer the door. She wanted answers. Why? Well…. A friend, of a friend, of a friend, of hers told her that Inuyasha was at a party last night fighting some model’s boyfriend. And Kikyo could almost guess who the model is. “Hurry up, Inuyasha!” She bellowed from outside of the door. She needed to put an end to this shit today!

When Inuyasha heard Kikyo’s voice, he took his sweet time. She is the last person that he even wants to look at right now. Unfortunately, he made it to the door and prepared himself for her loud yelling and ranting, but he wasn’t prepared for what actually came out of her mouth.

“I want to get married…”

mmmmmm

Sesshomaru thought about following Kagome after she fled their home, but decided not to go in the end. He was in the middle of getting dressed when Kaede walked into his room. He really didn’t want to talk right now, but decided to at least see what she wanted. “Yes…”

“Sit down, Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you.” Kaede walked over to the sitting area and took a seat as well.

He took his time, not wanting to get lectured. However the look in the old woman’s eyes told him to hurry the fuck up. “What.”

Kaede opened her mouth and then closed it. She couldn’t think of a good place to start, so he decided to come right out and be blunt. “I talked to Kagome while taking her home, and I expressed my concerns to her about the relationship that you two have.”

Sesshomaru, though interested, looked totally bored. “Why are you telling me this?”

“I will tell you like I told Kagome; this is utter foolishness. You are willing to have a sexual relationship, but not a normal one? Why? Because of events that happened in the past….” Kaede ranted. She saw Sesshomaru attempting to answer and cut him off. “No, you need to listen. It is time for you both to grow up. She needs to let go of the past and you should respect her space, Sesshomaru. What if a child is made from your tryst; and Kagome is still unwilling to be with you?”

He found himself at a loss for words. Sesshomaru hadn’t thought at the possibility of a child being born from their interludes. “I see…. However, I will not give up. Kagome WILL be with me, and eventually, she will have my children as well. It matters not about the order.” Sesshomaru smoothly replied.

“Gahhh….” Kaede threw her hands up in frustration. At least she made progress with one. “Since you are unwilling to reason, Kagome gave me a message for you. She says that she is willing to forgive you, but she will never forget the betrayal; stay away from her.” She got up and marched out of Sesshomaru’s room. That boy needed to think.

Sesshomaru leaned farther back into his chair… yes, he needed to think. Kagome’s forgiveness is a start but not enough. Closing his eyes, he started to think about his relationship with Kagome.

…………

Sesshomaru remembered the first day that he ever met Kagome. At the time he was seven and she was two.

All was right in his world back then. His mother was alive and neither of them knew that his father had cheated on her and had another son on the side. Yes… his world had been nice.

Actually it was a sunny day that he met Kagome and her family at a shopping center with his mother. At the time he didn’t notice her, but his mother pull him aside and pointed the little girl out to him.

“Sesshomaru, do you see that little girl over there?” His mother asked.

“Yes mother…” Sesshomaru answered.

She kneeled down to his level. “She will be a true beauty, Sesshomaru. Look at her eyes, they will never lie to you and they are the most unusual color.”

He took a closer look at the little girl and found himself staring into big blue eyes.

“Promise me, Sesshomaru, that you will marry some like that when you are older; someone who holds true beauty.” His mother asked.

Sesshomaru nodded. His mother was an advocate for people and things the held natural beauty and she was a bit old fashioned. But… that didn’t matter, if she wanted him to find someone like that girl, he would. “I promise.”

Sesshomaru’s mother stood up, took him by the hand, and went over the little girl and her family. That day he learned that the family owned a shrine that was located a little ways from their home. For a short while, his mother visited the shrine often, and then she suddenly stopped. A year later, on an outing with his parents, Sesshomaru and his mother met his twin; at least in looks. His father had been discovered. Six months later, she died. The doctors say from heart failure, but Sesshomaru was sure that is happened because of a broken heart. After that, he promised to live the type of life that his mother wanted him to live; and that included marrying the type of woman that his mother wanted him to find.

…………

Sesshomaru’s head rolled to the side of the chair as the thought about the time past. He put a lot of work into living the life that his mother wanted for him. Even after his father married that slut mother of Inuyasha’s, he still tried to prevail.

…………

Even at a young age, he was not worried about successful. No… Sesshomaru worried about finding his match. After seeing what his father did to his mother, he found it very hard to be trustful of anyone.

So time when on and Sesshomaru still hadn’t found the type of girl his mother suggested. Finally, his junior year in high school, he found the type of girl that his mother wanted for him. As a matter of fact, it was the same girl that she pointed all those years ago. He spotted her one Saturday morning sweeping the shrine steps. So he stopped, he wanted to meet the girl that could possibly be his wife.

When he got to the shrine, it became very clear that the girl was too young for a relationship with him. At seventeen and twelve, they were not ready for anything beyond friendship; so they became fast friends. Now Sesshomaru didn’t agree with the way his father treated his mother, but he did see the logic in how his father found his mother. Like he and Kagome, they had been friends, his father being the older of the two. They were friends, then they dated, and finally they married. Sesshomaru could see that happening with Kagome, one day.

As time went on, he taught Kagome everything about him. In just one year, Sesshomaru had Kagome accustom to his many moods, his like and dislikes, and his habits. He was also happy to learn that Kagome excelled in school. His senior year in school, Kagome got promoted two grade levels to the tenth grade. This enabled them to spend even more time together because she was now in the same building.

Everything was going fine. One night his father pulled him aside and asked him what he wanted to do with Kagome. Sesshomaru was getting ready for college and his father thought it best if he sorted this out first. Without second thoughts, Sesshomaru told his father that he wanted Kagome as his bride. He didn’t care about her age, but apparently that was an issue. They talked all night and eventually decided that they would ask for an arrangement with Kagome’s mother.

…………

Getting out of the chair, Sesshomaru strolled over to the bed and pick up the pillow that Kagome slept on. He loves how she smells. Kagome’s smell brought back so many memories; especially the memory of their first sexual encounter.

…………

In the days before he left home, Sesshomaru noticed Inuyasha leering at Kagome. At first he didn’t think anything of it, but his father called him at school and told him that Inuyasha had started to hang around Kagome; that he suspected a relationship between the two.

Insecurity spread through his body like a weed; he needed to know that Inuyasha hadn’t stolen her from him. The first chance Sesshomaru, he went home and called Kagome over. He used the lame excuse that he needed help cleaning his room. As usual, when he mentioned ‘I need you’, Kagome came rushing over. They spent a quiet afternoon together, but it didn’t’ last. Sesshomaru was too afraid to ask Kagome about this new development with his brother, but he didn’t want to let it go either.

In the end, he ended up pulling her into his chest and hugging her tightly. When he did she looked up into his eyes and their gazes locked. Sesshomaru became so drawn into those expressive eyes that he didn’t realize that he was kissing her. He also didn’t notice the moment where their clothes got removed as well. Instead, he focused on the moment. When Sesshomaru woke up from his daze, he was orally pleasuring Kagome. In her climax, Kagome let out a low sultry moan asking him for more. Without a second thought, Sesshomaru complied with her wishes and placed his girth at her entrance and slowly pushed in.

Then something clicked in his head as the felt the resistance of her virginity. If he continued, then their marriage would be final. He wasn’t sure if Kagome was ready for that, so he pulled out; well… tried to. Kagome resisted, so he left the head of his member in her tight walls. It took all of Sesshomaru’s will power not to just push in and get it over with. Somehow he managed. Huddled over Kagome, with one hand on the bed and one hand around his manhood, Sesshomaru managed to make the situation work for both of them. Using short controlled pumps, Sesshomaru let the head of his member fell the heat of Kagome’s tight body while his hand handled the rest. This way her virginity was left in tact. Still… as he released into her hot body, Sesshomaru failed to realize that it was still possible for Kagome to become pregnant with his child.

After that encounter, Sesshomaru apologized and asked Kagome to promise to wait for marriage before some else got that far. Of course, she promised.

…………

Taking in the scent one last time, Sesshomaru figured out his first mistake with Kagome. Instead of apologizing that evening, he should have told Kagome how he really felt. That would have prevented any future heartache.

They may have even been married by now had he just expressed himself. Sesshomaru placed the pillow back on the unmade bed and decided to go sit back down. He needed to think about his second mistake, but he already knew what he did…

…………

He had been upset at the fact that Inuyasha took Kagome for his girlfriend, but there was nothing that he could do. Sesshomaru never expressed his feeling to Kagome and the one time that he did, he apologized for his actions. Still… that didn’t make it any easier to deal with; it made it harder.

One day, Sesshomaru was still trying to cope with the situation; Inuyasha just so happened to by him and start talking about his sexual conquest of Kagome.

At that moment, Sesshomaru decided to forsake everything that he had with Kagome. He didn’t care about all of the things that she helped him through or about everything that she had done for him. No… he suddenly stopped calling her and stopped receiving any of her calls. Eventually they stopped and they lost touch, but he still knew about Inuyasha’s many betrayals with Kikyo.

Years later, Sesshomaru learned that Inuyasha finally ended it with Kagome. He hadn’t seen her, but his father told him that Kagome was in bad shape. So he decided to put his differences aside and go see how she was doing. That’s when Sesshomaru learned that Kagome quit her job; even more frightening was the gossip that she was going to leave. Through some skillful maneuvering, he got Kagome’s address from Inuyasha; Sesshomaru decided to, at least, drive by just to see if she was okay. That drive turned into a nightmare as he noticed some of Kagome’s old things in the trash outside.

Fear seized Sesshomaru’s heart as he realized that the gossip was true. He quickly parked the car and rushed up to her apartment. There he met an angry Kagome, who held no love in her heart for him or his brother. After a heated discussion, Sesshomaru found out that Inuyasha lied. He wanted to go back the way things were, but Kagome quickly dashed that idea. Nevertheless, Sesshomaru wanted Kagome to see his lover her. So he spent the night worshiping her body.

The next morning he woke up alone… and it would be years before he would see her again.

…………

Realizing that it could be a few more years before he would see Kagome again, Sesshomaru jump up and prepared to leave the house. Kagome would not escape him again.

mmmmmm

After the small runway show, Kagome made her way back to Kouga. This would not be easy. She realized, after talking to Kaede, that she still has feeling for Sesshomaru; but she’s not sure of what kind. Kagome even told Kaede to tell Sesshomaru that she forgives him, but that is where she decided to draw the line.

Now Kouga… Kagome would have to be blind not to be able to tell that he cares for her. Still… that’s not enough to keep the relationship going. No, she cheated and that alone is enough to make the relationship end and that is what Kagome intends to do. “Kouga?” She walked up behind the man and put a hand on his shoulder. “Are you ready to leave… so we can talk?”

Kouga looked Kagome in the eyes. He knows what’s coming and he would rather that she ‘TRY’ to do it now than later. “No let’s just talk outside.” Kouga led Kagome to a secluded place outside and sat down. “What on you mind, love.”

Kagome shuttered at the word love she didn’t deserve that from him. Don’t get me wrong… she wanted it, but she couldn’t bring herself to accept it. Not after this morning. Deciding that the most direct approach would be best, Kagome told Kouga everything; starting with a confession. “I cheated…”

“I know…” Kouga replied brokenly. He had prepared himself for this all morning, but he almost couldn’t bear to hear it come from Kagome sweet lips. Kouga listened quietly as Kagome cried out her confession with every detail. “Don’t worry, we will get through this.”

“No…” Kagome choked. “I won’t put you through this! I’m sorry but I have to end our relationship. I’m not being fair to you!”

“Screw that!” He replied with a voice full of raw emotion. “I won’t leave you… Yes… you made a mistake, but I really love you Kagome. If didn’t rush off to fight that shit-head last night, then I would have been by your side.”

Kagome laid her head down on his chest. “Don’t blame yourself, Kouga.” She sobbed.

“Then stay with me, Kagome. Please don’t leave me!” Kouga pleaded. He held up her hand with the promise ring on it. “Let me make this ring into a wedding ring. Marry me, Kagome.”

“What!” Kagome sat there unmoving for the longest time.

“I said marry me, Kagome. Let me give you the family that we both want. Come on…”
