Chapter 8
Forgetful
 
 
The next morning Sesshomaru was the first to wake.
 
'I fell asleep? What happened last night?' he thought to himself as he remembered rutting again with Kagome in the springs, then his beast took over. 'Shit!' was the only thought before he opened his eyes expecting to see the girl dead or at least almost dead.
 
He was shocked with what he did see. Looking over her naked body there was no torn flesh, no signs of violence. She was peacefully sleeping. He did not understand he smelled her blood faintly in the air. Lifting his tail off her bottom half he saw five claw marks. They were already closing so it did not hurt her.
 
Shaking her shoulder lightly to wake her he figured that she better bathe before returning to her pack. Leaning forward to kiss her neck, he drew back as if he was burnt. There on her neck was his rakuin kouhai . His beast claimed her last night. He sniffed her closely, he could smell his scent combined with her scent, not the way it would by just rutting.
 
'I took a ningen female as a mate!?' he asked himself flabbergasted and disgusted with himself for his moment of weakness. Looking over her body one more time he noticed signs of his body reacting to what he was seeing 'I have to get out of here!' he thought while quickly standing and dressing. He melted into the forest as if he was never there.

Kagome woke up alone a few minutes after he left. 'I did it again!' she thought while standing then walking into the springs to wash off the evidence from the night. 'I can not believe I did it again! I cannot believe he did it! I can not believe I liked it!' she thought "Urg!!" was the sound she made to sum up her attitude for the completely strange situation she found herself in.
 
After washing, she dressed and walked back to camp. Everyone was still sleeping so she began breakfast. Soon everyone woke up to the smell of her cooking.


 
Sango was the first to awaken, "Ohayou Kagome! What's up? You looked troubled." Sango asked while looking at Kagome and her troubled expression.
 

Giving a nervous laugh Kagome answered. "You would not believe me if I told you."
 

Cocking her head to the side she looked at Kagome "Try me." she challenged trying to pry the problem out of her sister figure.
 

"Later… alone. I don't want anyone to hear." Kagome promised and Sango nodded in understanding and did not push it any further.
 


Miroku was the next to rise, "Good Morning ladies!" Miroku said while massaging Sango's rear and she let him. Kagome just shook her head she will never understand what happened to them for her to allow that.
 

It was strange, she was still expecting the "Pervert!" scream then the telltale smack, but it never came. 'Maybe the spell is still in effect? That would explain A LOT!' she mused while watching her friends interact.

Later that night Kagome excused herself for a bath and Sango followed to get her answers. Coming to spring, they made quick work of their clothing and then they waded into the spring. Once settled on a natural rock seat Sango turned to Kagome, "Spill it! What is up with you? What is troubling you?"
 

Kagome looked to her friend thoughtfully wondering if she would believe her. With a sigh, she began, "Ok I saw Sesshomaru again. Well the first time I gave him my innocence, under the spell it felt like I was in love with him so I could not help myself. He was being so… not like him. Well after that, he searched me out and waited until I was alone. I tried to tell him someone put a spell on us, that he didn't want to… to… you know. He said pretty much he did not care he wanted me. Well long story short he seduced me again. It was just as good if not better because there was no pain this time… But when I woke he was gone." she finished to afraid to look into her friends eyes.
 

Sango listened to her friend's story and could not help the shock she felt about hearing what happened. 'Sesshomaru… the ningen hating Sesshomaru, bedding a ningen, and not just any ningen either but his hated half brother's best friend! Understandably it happened under the spell but what about the second time?' she could not shake the foreboding feeling she got in her stomach.

 
"Kagome I don't know what to say. Maybe you should go home for a while and wait for all of this to blow over?" Sango said thoughtfully.
 

Kagome looked at Sango "I think that may be for the best."

Storming through the forest killing anything he encountered he was raging inside. A Ton of questions running through his mind and not even one of them were being answered, it was frustrating. He was beyond pissed!
 
How could I take a ningen as my mate?
 
How the hell could I have bedded a ningen in the first place?
 
Why did my beast have to choose her?
 
What is so special about that ningen miko with her great scent?
 
What have I gotten into?
 
And why the hell do I feel like I want to rut her AGAIN?
 
What the hell are these emotions I am feeling?
 
Can my life get any worse?
 
Am I cursed or something, to make the mistakes my father made?
 
Why the hell do I feel nervous all of a sudden? This Sesshomaru does NOT get nervous!
 
All these questions and no answers. Still he could not shake the feeling that something was going to happen. Something that will make him angry!

The following morning Kagome packed up to go home after a long leave of absence. She really needed the piece of mind that being at home in the future could provide her. She really needed to think about what was happening to her and find a way to break its hold. Since she woke up the morning after she and Sesshomaru had sex the second time she could swear she was feeling emotions that were not hers in anyway.

It was disconcerting.

Not knowing the implications that it could mean she thought no longer on it and continued with her packing and cooking breakfast for the group.

Inuyasha was sitting lightly napping on the tree branch when he awoke to the delightful smell of his favorite food, ramen. Ears twitching and nostrils flaring, he opened his eyes to find Kagome cooking and rolling up her bag.

He could tell by watching that she wanted to go home. She always acted a certain way when she was about to ask to be taken to the well. However, this time he would let her go, he needed sometime to himself as well. He needed to work on the whole Kagura thing; he is still a little creped out about the whole thing. He needed to the rest to check his head, he knew what he felt for her but it had come out of nowhere.

He was never one to trust so easily so when he fell in love with someone it was forever. He loved Kikyo and he loved Kagome. They were so different it is like night and day when you try to compare them.


Kagome was sweet, funny, loyal, beautiful, strong, smart, innocent, and pure of heart, selfless, caring, compassionate, passionate, fiery, and faithful. She was the first to want to be with him as he was and not want to change him into something he was not. His youkai desired her for her strength and conviction. Her defiant will and the fire in her eyes turn on his beast. Her scent calmed his beast in a way no one else ever had. One of the most important things to consider is his youkai recognizes her as its mate. Because she takes care of him in a way, a mate would, except one.


They were never intimate.

Kikyo when alive was in some ways like Kagome but in some ways nothing like her. Kikyo was sweet, funny, beautiful, strong, smart, innocent, and pure of heart, caring, compassionate, passionate, and fiery. She was also distrustful, and selfish. The undead version is not much different except she is no longer pure and innocent. Her body now made of clay and filled with hate and anger; and she uses those very feelings to keep herself this plane of existence. I love her still because she was the first onna to give me the chance to love and be loved in return. My human heart would not allow me to discard her because of the sacrifices she had made. My youkai would not allow me to push her aside because of a vow I had made to protect her and avenge her but I could never mark her.

My beast would never allow me to mark Kikyo. The reason was simply that his beast knows that she could never bare him heirs that his blood demanded, because she is dead. His beast is not one to fawn over feelings its main concern is to find a strong mate and breed heirs.

Now his beast is starting to take notice in another, A Youkai female just as strong if not stronger that would provide it with strong heirs. In this is where his problem lied and that is why he will let her go home for a visit without the trouble.

The rest of the camp began to awaken to the smell of cooking food and soon sat around the fire pit for warmth.

Sango looked at Kagome then to where she had slept “Kagome are you still going home?”, she asked already knowing the answer because al her things were already packed and ready to go.

Kagome looked at Sango then leaned in to whisper low so Inuyasha could not over hear “Yes I do but I have to let Inuyasha know first.”

Sango nodded in understanding and was happy herself for the small reprieve she would be receiving as well. She could use this little time to go to her village and pay them her respects while fixing and sharpening her weapon, which she really needed to do.


Once they reach Kaede’s village she and Miroku would depart to her village as they always do when the opportunity arises.

Kagome walked towards Inuyasha ramen in hand ready to plea her case to the slaving driving Hanyou. She was sure he would act as he always had and denied her, which only led to her sitting him until he agrees with her. A little underhanded maybe but a girls got to do what a girls got to do right? If that means bribe him with ramen then so be it.

Once she had reached Inuyasha, he had leapt from the tree to meet her and except his food. Handing him his ramen she began ask her question “Inuyasha I really would like to go home for a few days. Maybe catch up on school or something. This past week has been strange and I really need to go home to clear my head of my problems. So I want to return home today, hopefully soon.” she had said while looking into the sky while her mind was swimming in her memories of a certain Taiyoukai.

Inuyasha looked up from his bowl of ramen and looked at Kagome. He seen the far away look in her eyes and knew that she really did need the time off. “Keh Whatever” he replied in his brash tone to disguise his true feelings on the matter. He hated when people knew he was concerned it was embarrassing to him for some reason.

Kagome spun around fast now facing Inuyasha with angry eyes “listen here Inuyasha I really need to go home and you will not stop. What a minute, did you just agree to let me go home?” she asked dumbstruck not knowing how to handle it.

Inuyasha found her little tirade amusing. He found her embarrassment on the whole situation funny. He had told her yes and she was so sure he would say no that his yes reply did not register in her brain until she had already started on her tantrum.

She was so relieved she did not even have to fight to return home as she had predicted. He let had let her go without all the problems. She also found her quick temper something strange, granted she was always easy to anger but this time it felt strange.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she sent a thankful smile to Inuyasha.

Once they had finished packing up the camp, they began to trek back towards Kaede’s village.

Somewhere in the Western Lands was a single angered demon. He tried to sate his anger with a battle but no amount of killing had brought satisfaction. He was on edge and he had a good feeling as to why. ‘I feel like this because I am not close to my mate’ he thought while remembering some of the side effects his father had told him about when he was taught about the mating ritual.

Flashback Begin::

A younger Sesshomaru about 200 years old sat inside of his fathers study while his father was giving him lessons on mating rituals because he was coming into mating age soon.


“Son you must remember that when you find your mate it will be hard for you to part with her because the bond you formed while mating would be new. You beast would not allow you to take a prolonged absence of your mate. You must remember this for if you do not you may lose what control you have to her beast while he searches for his mate. Your beast will leave destruction in its path, and will not stop until reunited with its mate.” Inu Taishou stated while thinking back to his good ol’ days.

Flashback End::

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he resigned himself to go and search out his new mate. He did not want to deal with what would happen if he did loose control as his father had said. The thought was disgustingly disturbing to think that he Sesshomaru Lord of the Western Lands, an youkai who prizes himself on his strength in control could have the chance of loosing it because of a mere ningen onna miko or no, that was simply not an option!

Because of his lapse in control he took a ningen as a mate and would not allow himself to make anymore mistakes. To make matter worse our bond though a mistake it was, it was still strong. He could feel what she was feeling and right now she was nervous and a little bit afraid.

As he began to walk in the direction of his brothers forest he was cover came by the feeling of complete joy ‘what in the blazes had that onna so happy?’ he thought while the happiness was being felt through his whole being. With that thought he began his search for his mate.

He would find her and make her return to the Western Lands with him if she liked it or not. Her place was no longer beside that hanyou but now beside him her mate. ‘she probably does not even know she has a mate yet.’ something whispered in his head and he had to agree with it. The girl did not seem to know much about demons and their behavior. Maybe his brother noticed or smelled him already and told her what the mark meant, but maybe not.

It took an hour before they entered the clearing the well was located. Kagome walked over to he dry well with her bag around her should and her bow and quiver of arrows. Looking down into the depths of the dark well she sighed turning back towards Inuyasha “I am leaving and will be back in 3 days.” with that she had jumped into the well and seemingly be sent to he future.
