The Façade Falls
Thank you, those few of you who reviewed! It cheered me up. I've been rather down lately. But anyway, you're not here to read about my personal life, so on with it!
~sakag26, rain falls, sesshysgirl08 "“ thank you!
~kinght2 "“ you will see in this chapter, insert evil grin. (ps, thanks for the review!)
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any related items, characters, places, etc. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING but the plot.
Oh, and to that one reviewer that I deleted because I found it a bit rude and slightly stupid, even though I don't think you meant it to be: This story isn't really aimed for reality, you know. It's entertainment. I would like to go into a long rant, but I'll spare you because I'm rather tired at the moment. And, yes, I could write this better, but I also have a life beyond writing a fanfic. I use this Fic to kind of occupy my time and maybe give a few people out there something to do also. This Fic isn't being aimed to portray something real, as it is a fantasy genre anyway!!!!!!! This Fic I write a bit spur of the moment, anyway. I've a few things planned in it, but most of it just flows offa my head. So"¦ people please don't chastise me. I'm just a simple person with nothing better to do and who is rather lazy to boot.

Chapter Nine: The Façade Falls
---
* "You are most welcome, little Miko," he whispered and lay his lips in her hair, breathing in her sweet scent.*
---
She laughed lightly, then pulled away, his spiked armor-guard catching a bit of her hair (he had changed after the guests had arrived, as had Kagome). Sesshomaru carefully pulled her hair off of his armor and then looked down at her again.
"You are"¦ beautiful, Miko," he whispered, putting the lock of hair he held between his fingers upon her shoulder. She could only smile earnestly and blush.
"Shouldn't you go find out what InuYasha wants?" she said, a bit reluctantly. He let her go also and nodded.
Walking away, he ordered her. "Come, but be silent."
She followed a few paces behind him, careful to keep herself out-of-sight. Sesshomaru brisked through the front doors, and just before they closed she slipped out into the cover of darkness.
"What do you want, brother?" Sesshomaru called. Kagome dodged into a row of bushes that lined the road to the front doors. Peeking her head out, she could see InuYasha and Sesshomaru's hair glowing prettily in the moonlight. It would be a full moon in several days, Kagome noticed as she glanced up to the heavens briefly. She could barely hear them, and she crept forward a few more paces, then a bit more until she could hear them fairly well. Sesshomaru seemed to glow, in her opinion, His pale skin glowed, the crescent moon on his forehead becoming even more prominent than usual. InuYasha, on the other hand, was only in Kagome's vision because of the moonlight in his hair.
""¦What more do you want of her?" Sesshomaru growled once Kagome was near enough to hear.
"Feh. Without her we cannot easily collect any shards of the jewel. And if Naraku gets them before we do, which is likely if we don't have Kagome, then he will become too powerful for even you to handle, Sesshomaru," InuYasha said. Sesshomaru sighed inaudibly. It was truth. Sesshomaru had forgotten about Naraku, in all honesties. And Kagome was possibly the only one willing to quest for the shards who was able to. There weren't many priestesses to begin with, anyway.
"I'll not let my Miko travel with you!" he protested.
"YOUR miko?" InuYasha spat. "Since when did she become yours!?"
"The moment you attempted to ravage her. Though I force her to do nothing, as you always did when she traveled with you. You are a disgrace to our father's name. And truly. Even your human mother would be ashamed, InuYasha. If she goes anywhere, it will be with me. I am more fit to protect her than you are," Sesshomaru said coldly. InuYasha shook his head mockingly in the darkness, causing his hair to become waves of shimmering light.
"I won't hurt her again. I've learned that that would be stupid, and I'd end up dead," InuYasha said wisely.
"No. She will not go with you unless I go. I will travel with you. Besides, weak little brother, you have days when you are naught but a human, and even Kagome is stronger than you with her powers. And darker days are fast in their approaching. Even if she doesn't want me around"¦ I will always protect her. I am vowing here and now to protect her "“ with my own life, if I must," he said in his normal monotone. Kagome suddenly became weak-kneed in her hiding place and struggled to stay from falling as she bent low in the bushes.
"What are you trying to say, Sesshomaru?!" InuYasha demanded. "Are you in love with her or something?!"
Sesshomaru hesitated. He could feel Kagome's eyes boring into his back, she was anticipating his answer with bated breath. Sesshomaru wondered is she felt the same way.
"Yes, Brother. I do, and I am not afraid to say it. You are filth, and I wonder how she could have ever been attracted to you. Now "“ about Naraku. We must get down to business and finish talking about personal business." He was suddenly a bit sweaty, his heart racing. He had just indirectly told Kagome he loved her. InuYasha "˜feh'ed again.
"Fine. We shouldn't wait much longer than a few days. He could be acting as we speak. But no matter what, we need Kagome. Her fate is no longer in her future time, but in this one. Without her we will most likely all be destroyed, and even these lands of yours in the West will be burned and desolate. She is an essential weapon in this war. And it is a war, whether people want to believe it or not. We will need, eventually, to gather up some form of an army. Naraku, we have evidence, is already doing this for his side," InuYasha informed Sesshomaru. They seemed to be getting along rather well, Kagome thought.
"You are correct, half-brother. She is essential. I will aide your side in this war, but do NOT think it this means I have softened or my thoughts regarding yourself have altered in any way. I do this only out of love "“ not for you, but the miko. She is very different InuYasha, you wasted something good "“ better than you deserved. You could have had her, InuYasha, you could of," Sesshomaru said the last part quietly, only enough for InuYasha to hear.
InuYasha nodded. "I realized that, Sesshomaru. I was foolish. A lot has happened over the past day and a half "“ more than I am used to. But now I will be off, I want to sleep, get another day o-oover with!" he had interrupted himself with a stretchful yawn. It caused Kagome to want to giggle, but the she stopped, and images of the night before flashed in her head. She suddenly became enraged, digging her nails into the rich soil beneath her.
"Go, I do not wish to see you until tomorrow afternoon, we will discuss this further then. We must begin acting quickly. I bid you a night, InuYasha, neither good nor fair, but a night," he said shortly and turned. Kagome watched his elegant form begin to stride towards her, and watched the barely visible, except hair, form of InuYasha slouch as he saw Kagome rise from her hiding place and quickly grab Sesshomaru's hand.
InuYasha shook his head. "What was I thinking?"¦" he murmured to himself in despair.
---
The next few hours found everyone yawning frequently and soon heading off to sleep. Servants showed the guests where they would be staying, and Sesshomaru had already gone off to his room a while earlier. Kagome hadn't seen any of him since they had walked back inside. He had immediately chosen to avoid Kagome's oncoming questions. She wanted desperately to ask about his statement of love for her. He didn't know how he should answer it, so he had, as soon as was possible, escaped up to his room when Koga had stopped Kagome to ask her opinion about something or other.
"AAAAaahh-alright-ah, guys. I'm off to bed," she yawned widely. Koga, Shippou, Miroku, and Sango all agreed and went off to whatever room they were to stay in. Kagome went down a different hall and traveled up to her room. She went in with a loud and tired sigh and stripped herself of the silk clothes she had worn for her guests.
---
Sesshomaru let a dog-like yawn out, and clicked his teeth together as he ended his yawn. He had been pouring over maps for the past hour, and marking all the places where Naraku or any of his incarnations had been either rumored or known to be at during one time or another. He heard Kagome's door shut and a sigh sounded from her room. Deciding he needed a break from all the map-reading and picking his memory and looking through records, he stood up from his leather-hide chair and strode the distance over to the door.
Too tired and his mind to filled with future-based thoughts, Sesshomaru didn't think to knock before going in. Turning the knob, he let himself in as, with his other hand, he shut his eyes and began rubbing them fiercely as if he could rub the sleep out of them that way.
Kagome froze, stark naked, as Sesshomaru barged into her room. His eyes were shut, but he was just now lowering his hand away from them, and she was caught like a deer in headlights. Her brain froze.
Sesshomaru let his hand fall to his side. He was re-dressed in his favorite pale-blue silk bedrobe. He let out a small, weird, noise as his eyes fluttered open and looked upon Kagome. The normally heavy-lidded golden eyes were now stretched wide "“ all thoughts of sleep erased for the moment. The noise he had just issued was something of a mixture between want, surprise, and a cough.
He seemed frozen also, until he realized that he shouldn't have barged in"¦. He backed out slowly, and Kagome finally came to her senses and grabbed up the kimono she had been wearing a moment ago and frantically tried to cover herself. Sesshomaru shut the door quickly with a bit of a snap. His eyes remained wide and stared out into space, the image of a nude Kagome imprinted into his eyes and mind.
Kagome shut her eyes tightly and quickly rushed to the closet to grab a sleeping robe. Quickly slipping it on and tying the belt of it in the front, she gave a loud sigh and threw herself face first onto her high bed. She lifted her head and smushed it back into the mattress of her bed several times, banging it softly. Letting out a frustrated growl at herself, she stood up again and crossed the room to the door Sesshomaru had been standing in but only a moment ago.
Sesshomaru had shut his eyes finally, and was now imagining Kagome's body in his mind's eye. She was beautifully made, in his opinion. Her soft curves on her slim build, the curves were neither too large nor to thin. Sesshomaru shook his head and stood upright again, he had been leaning on the door dreamily. A timid knock came from behind him, and he whipped around and flung the door open, immediately slinging apologies at her.
"Kami, Kagome! I give you my deepest apologies "“ it is late and I was not thinking straight, it is my fault! Ah! I was being foolish, I never imagined that I would happen upon you like that, please, please, forgive me, Miko!" he said quickly and rather loudly, as if forcing his apology upon her. She was blushing deeply, and had been since he had first opened the door. She shook her head gently.
"It-it's okay. I know it was a mistake, you didn't mean for it to happen like that," Kagome said softly, still rather embarrassed. Sesshomaru let a low growl emit. He was rather angry at himself now. Kagome placed a gentle hand upon his right forearm. "It is fine, Sesshomaru. It was a mistake, and I understand that. It could have been me walking in upon you. I understand, don't think about it," she wisely advised him. He nodded. Kagome noted how his pretty silver hair tossed about gently as he did so. Oh how she wanted to pet it and play with it"¦ she longed for Sesshomaru. "˜What?!' her inner voice yelled at her. "˜You can't long for him! Does not your heart still belong to InuYasha?' the voice insisted. "˜NO. It does not. It belongs to no one at the moment. It may be looking at Sesshomaru, but it does not belong to him just yet. Now leave me alone!' Kagome's mind shouted at her conscience.
Sesshomaru looked at her curiously as her facial expressions changed subtly for a few moments.
"Are you sure you forgive me?" Sesshomaru asked quietly, pulling her out of her head. She looked up at him again.
"Of course!" she smiled. "Now let's just put it behind us, and not think of it." Sesshomaru gave her a look of agreement, but in his mind he knew he would be thinking of what he had just seen all night. He could not let that beautiful image leave his head.
"But, um, Sesshomaru"¦. I would like to talk to you. Y-you said a few things to InuYasha earlier, and I didn't have the chance earlier to ask you about them," she said, casting her eyes down, her blush that had been fading returned. Sesshomaru's face was tinged with a peach tint. "˜Here it comes,' he thought. "˜I'll have to tell her"¦ tell her that I love her.' Kagome suddenly looked up into his beautiful golden eyes. His hair was spilling over his shoulders gently in a bit of a messy manner, but to Kagome he was the most handsome and angelic being she had ever seen.
"Do you really love me, Sesshomaru?" she whispered, the hand that had been on his forearm now had moved to his chest, her fingers were tense, as if they were about to grab a fistful of his bedrobe. His eyes widened slightly as she looked into his eyes. He was tempted to sweep her up and bring her to his bed, to show her that he could be open and emotional, he could be loud and let his feelings show, just like she did. But he didn't let his façade fall. But he was oh so tempted to. He stared back at her with love and longing, his face void of emotion.
Kagome stared at him intently, waiting for his answer. She suddenly became scared. What if he had only been saying that so InuYasha would agree with letting him travel with him? What if Sesshomaru was lying? And he didn't really love her? What if the past few days had just been a joke, and he was using her as a toy "“ he had been playing her up so maybe he would sometime get her into his bed? No. He wouldn't "“ would he?
Sesshomaru couldn't take it anymore. His eyes widened and the mask fell. His eyebrows drew together slightly, and he licked his drying lips nervously. His stoic expression was falling, and he grabbed Kagome's hand that was upon him. He took it away from his chest, and brought it in front of his face. Staring at her slender fingers, he then pushed them in between his own fingers. He brought the back of her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to it, shutting his eyes briefly, then letting them flutter open again, them staring into Kagome's deep brown eyes.
AN: Hah. I leave you with that. I expect at least 2 reviews!"¦ hehe.
