The Female Warrior by Itoe
Chapter 1
I never wanted to own Inuyasha, but Sesshomaru is another story! ]:D But sadly, they all belong to R. Takahashi... Except for three "characters" :)
I made a drawing for this story. And since I think, I should get my english better, I tried to write this story as good as I can.
WARNING: NO BETAed! English is NOT my first or second language! It is somewhere between 3rd and 5th... :<
I wanted to write a lemon or two... but I was too lazy.. xD sorry...
Now enjoy at least the idea... since the story in itself is not written perfectly... I think, I miss the details... Sorry for that... :<
The Female Warrior
„This is a scary place, monk, where the fu** did you take us?!“, muttered the agitated hanyou, whose ears were swirling around to catch any sound, that could be from Kagome.
„I know not, my friend. My mentor told me to take Kagome-Sama in this place to see for something.“, answered the monk honestly and let out a breath he did not know he was holding. That he could not enter it with Kagome, he kept quiet.
There was no reason to anger his already irate hanyou friend any more. He only hoped, that Kagome was fine.
That they were scared, was an understatement.
The halls they were walking through had warrior statues, whose spears were piercing the head of men and demons alike on the ground, who, most likely, were pleading for their very lifes.
That was not the scary part of these statues, however. The scary part was, that the warriors were females. So very brutal and strong and… scary.
„What was she supposed to „see“?! Some stupid, dark tombs in which females are killers?!“, spat the halfdemon while stamping forward.
The echo from Inuyashas steps were quite useful. They heard through it, that the tomb was bigger than they first thought.
Since Inuyasha could smell absolutely nothing in here, and Miroku being not able to sense anything, they were dependent on Inuyashas good hearings.
„Now, now, Inuyasha. Until now, noone was able to enter these holy rooms and halls, well, until now it would seem.“, said the monk in concentration, „Maybe, Kagome-Sama broke through the main barrier, because she is female!“
„Keh! Let’s find her! Or it will be your head, stupid monk!“
„I believe, we found her already. Look there!“, said the monk and pointed with a finger in front of them, where a soft white bluish light leaked out from a room by the end of the hall.
„Kagome!“, screamed Inuyasha and ran towards the light.
As soon as he entered the light, however, it disappeared and the halfdemon came to an abrupt halt.
„What the…“, was the only thing he could say.
He did not even hear the steps from the monk, who reached him by now and stood silently beside him.
All they could see, was Kagome, who stood there in an armor with the colors of bordo and gold. A dark red cape hung on her back and over it was something, that looked like the pelt of a white fox. Two white glowing swords held for a while their attention until they saw Kagome move.
She turned to them fully and a wicked smile formed at her lips.
„Ah, what do we have here.“, Kagome said, as she unsheathed the Daikatana from her hip, „Forget it, not important at all, this question. Any last words, useless three-legged dogs?“
„Wha…?!“, Inuyasha was stopped by the staff from the monk.
„We are friends from Kagome-Sama, the body you are possessing, spirit. Who are you?“, asked the monk politely.
The seriousness of this situation not lost on the hanyou.
„You know not, who I am? Whose tombs you are in?! Were I forgotten so fast after my last death?!“, she growled, „Let’s start to remedy that.“
With that, she stalked slowly to the two men on front of her. They stood still, did not even flinch, as she swung the sword.
She stopped mere inches from Inuyashas neck, as she regarded the two of them.
„Why are you not scared? Why are you not screaming and pleading for your useless lifes?!“, she asked, curiosity deep in her stormy blue eyes, „I see, you would not hurt this body? Then you shall live. As my pets.“
With that, she sheathed her glowing sword and walked out of the tomb.
„What… did just happen?“, asked Inuyasha, as he looked after Kagome, who was going a steady pace with the very grace of a queen.
„I believe, Kagome-Sama is possessed by the spirit from this tomb in here, my friend. We should follow her for now and work from there.“
„Kagome-Sama, maybe we should go to my mentor, Mushin-Sensei, he may know of what happened to you.“, offered Miroku as they stepped outside the tombs.
„A man? Hm. No.“, she said after a while and looked around, „What happened to my imperium?“
„Kagome-Sama, I must insist to go to Mushin-Sensei! He may help.“, he knew, it was futile to talk to a spirit with the name from Kagome. But still. He hoped, he could somehow reach Kagomes mind to see, if she was still there.
„I said no. If I have to repeat myself again, I will reconsider it for allowing you to live.“, the threat hung in the air, but no one, not even Inuyasha dared to say something.
,,Do you at least allow us or me to go to Mushin-Sensei, so we can ask him, instead of you?“
„Will you be able to find me, dog?“, Kagome asked, as she eyed the monk curiously.
Miroku sensed, that she did not trust them. As far as he had seen in the tomb, she did not trust any male creature, be it man or demon.
„If you will let me a trail with your reiki, I will be able to follow you, my lady.“
After a while, she nodded once and took off. Inuyasha hot on her heels.
Miroku was happy, that his mentos shrine was not far away from the tombs. Only 20 minutes of walking. But he did not like the way his sensei squirmed nervously in his seat, as he told him and Sango what happened.
,,Oh, this is bad.’’, said the priest, as he began to pack his things for, as it would seem, a very long travel.
,,What happened to her, Mushin-Sama!“, by now, Sango had the old priest in her grasp and squeezed his very life from his windpipe.
„I will tell you!“, he coughed, as he ran a few feet away from Sango and sat down.
After some shuddering breaths and a contemplating look at Sango, he began the story:
„Three thousand years ago, when man first came to these lands to find a way of immortality for the emperor of Chin, they did not consider about their procreation. There were thousand humans however, with 200 of them females. You can understand the problem that arose from then. Every man wanted a woman for himself. So they started to fight for each woman, until, in the end, the men’s number decreased to 400.
They compromised, that a woman for two men would do, until there were more daughters. That would have meant, that the females would be raped by two men. One of the very young females back then, was a very inteligent and wicked girl. She foresaw this and armored the women with weapons, to fight for their own virtue.
Only, if they wanted to, they could marry two or even three or more men. If the men did not accept this, there would be war.
Of course, the men laughed at the attempt and killed instead many women, who did not bow to the will of the men. The leader of the females commanded the females to retreat to the mountains.
The females, began to live on the mountains. Built their own houses with their own fields of food.
Whilst the men became barbarians and fighting each other. Every now and then, they attacked the village of the women by night and kidnapped one female after another. Of course, the kidnapped female would be found a few days later dead for she could not withstand the barbarians drive. This enraged the young leader and she ordered the females, to ready themselves for the final battle against the men. Needless to say, the females won, because they prepared for a war, and the men were too drunk to realize anything.“
„But Mushin-Sensei, if the women won the war against the men, how come, that we are still existing.“, asked Miroku with a perverted smile.
„I don’t remember that I said, they slaughtered all the men.“, said Mushin with narrowed eyes and went on, „They just killed the most barbarian and disgusting ones. The beautiful, younger men were still alive, which were about 100. But that was not enough harm to the opposite sex. They broke every 20 days the hands and feets of them. Just not to allow them to get stronger than the females. They used them as pets and toys. They even raped them as revenge for their fallen friends. They humiliated them. Of course, that way the procreation was still intact.
Many years later, the leader of the women tribe found a way of immortality. She found, that she was a very powerful miko. Not very powerful by soul, but by will only. So her soul shone with every passing year stronger and stronger, until demons found their way to this miko leader. Of course, her will was stronger than any demon, who came across her. So she purified them all. That way, the very strongest demons came to the conclusion, to built their own imperiums. Of course, the small imperium from the females was exactly in the middle of the four lands and was spared from any battle from the demons. Naturally, that was because they were scared from this unknown, burning power.’’
„This shrine here is also in the very middle of the four lands…“, said Sango, as they looked at the old priest.
He squirmed again and nodded once.
,,The tombs you visitted today, was their very special tombs. It is said, that the room in the far end, was the main grave for the leader of these females. But no one was ever able to enter these halls, until today. I thought, that Kagome should be able to enter it, since she is a very powerful miko and female! However… Where was I, before I was being interrupted?... Ah yes…
The immortality in itself was possible, when she ate demon flesh. Not any demon, but from a special tree with soul-fruits. When the soul is strong enough, the body would still be in tact. Of course, she ate many of those fruits. Her soul became stronger and greater, just as her will. She also gave the fruits to her companions, but they all died from the poison of this fruit. So she was the only one, who was immortal. She reigned her flourishing imperium for 200 years in peace and freedom, until the demons became more scared and allied together to bring down the miko.“
„A miko has to be virgin to keep her power, you do not really think, that she was still virgin after 200 years.“, interrupted Miroku with a frown.
„Of course she was, until the day she was murdered by the many demons. The problem lies exactly there, Miroku. She did not really die back then. She survived with her immortal soul and pushed it out of her body. As her body fell, her soul stood there strong and proud. The demons fought until their very end, but the miko survived. In the form of a glowing, blue mist. She saw the many souls around her, the souls from the dead demons and few humans. She collected them all and putt hem together. She formed a very powerful energy source.“
„This sounds somewhat familiar.“, told Sango and went mentally through all the stories her father told her when she was younger.
„Of course it sounds familiar, this way, the Shikon no Tama was born!“, screamed the old priest and slumped his shoulders.
„But it was Midoriko-Sama, who..!“, began Miroku but was cut by the old priest.
„No, Midoriko-Sama was the second reincarnation of that first miko.“, he said, „As is Kagome, as it would seem, the third reincarnation.“
„But… Kagome is the reincarnation from Kikyou, not Midoriko, or is Kikyou also the reincarnation of Midoriko and also the amazon miko?“, asked Sango in confusion.
„No, child. Kikyou never expelled the Shikon no Tama from her body, it was given to her by the other priests, as it came back to life from Midoriko’s tomb. Midoriko made the mistake to use it against the demons she fought. She never intended to die in the battle against the demons. So the stone stayed within her, until it found a new source of strength, which was Kikyou. It mistook it for the amazon miko. But Kikyou was selfish and not really strong enough, to keep the Shikon no Tama pure. That’s why she was also cursed by it. But Kikyou knew, she had to take it with her to the afterlife, so the world would be safe again. But it came back, with the youngest reincarnation of the amazon. And a great part of Kikyou’s soul stayed with the Shikon no Tama, her hatred. This is the only part of her soul, that came back with Kagome to the world of the living.
But Kagome is too early reincarnated. Until now, the miko came back to the world all 1’ooo years, because her soul is too great to be ready in 500 years. Midoriko-Sama died a bit more then 500 years ago…’’
Miroku and Sango glanced at each other… but kept quiet. Mushin did not have to know, that Kagome was from the future.
,,And what happened to Kagome-Sama herself?’’, asked Miroku to change the subject.
„I am sorry to say this, but she found herself again, as the amazon. Maybe she is a bit confused right now and may not remember all the events of her 4 lives. I guess, a thousand years is not enough to clean her soul of her memories.“, told Mushin and shook his head sadly.
„What happened with her first reincarnation?“, asked Sango.
„There is a story of a very strong princess, who was a Samurai with great powers. Of course, the Shikon no Tama was back then already in her grasp and she killed many demons in the name of her father. However, she insisted on never marrying a man, for they were not worthy of her. Her father obliged to the wish of his powerful daughter. She lived also for 100 years and was in the end killed in a battle against uncountable demons.“
„What is her name, Mushin-Sama?“, asked Sango.
„The amazons name is… Chiharu Junko… and it means „pure child in one thousand springs“. A very fitting name.“, said the priest with a shudder.
„Mushin-Sensei, Kagome-Sama wore a very beautiful armor, when we found her. Does it have any say in it? Especially those two glowing swords with pure energy?“, asked Miroku.
„Of course, Miroku. That armor was the very first armor, when she was an amazon. It was refined, when she was a samurai and became perfection, as a miko warrior. Midoriko-Sama held two swords with infused holy energy. The legend says, that the armor and weapon disappeared with the soul of the miko. But they came always back to the miko. Just as the Shikon no Tama.
„Vermin, do you have a name.“, Kagome asked while walking ahead, with her head held high.
„Oi, wench, just send this stupid spirit out of yourself. You are annoying me.’’, Inuyasha spat, getting angry with walking behind the female on front of himself.
Inuyasha regrettet the words the second his head hit the tree behind him with Kagomes fist imprint on his right cheek.
„What the… Kagome?!“, he screamed and stood up. He looked at her and saw, that she was trying to calm herself.
„So we were friends, huh?“, she asked suddenly, „Tell me, hanyou, what is your relationship with „Kagome“.“
„None of your business! Now get out of her body!“, he commanded.
He definitely did not know how to exorcise Kagome or how to even fight her, without hurting her.
,,Or what? You are nothing, halfbreed. No one is as strong nor powerful, as I am. This new body fits me best. This time, I will not die.“, she said confident, „But hanyou, I need to find first my cute little toy. My little Shikon no Tama.“
The last three words, she breathed out, as if remembering a far away memory. Her hand clasped the small glass on her neck and destroyed it. The shards falling into her free hand. She
looked at them over.
„Naraku, huh.“, she said with a smirk and looked to the sky, „You will die today.“
With that, she sprang in the air and flew to the rest of the Shikon no Tama, leaving Inuyasha behind.
„Come back, wench!“, screamed Inuyasha and made it to follow her, only to loose the track of her scent.
But he heard her. Naraku was her target. But how was she supposed to find him? He cursed and ran back to Mushins shrine.
Sesshomaru knew, when something out of the ordinary happened. Wherever it happened on his lands.
He knew, that the miko of his halfbreed halfbrothers pack had changed. Her power was radiant and shone like a moon in the dark.
And right now… she was flying right over his head...
She wore a very elegant armor as he eyed her. She had a Daikatana and a Wakizashi, which were glowing with holy energy. So powerful in fact, that they somewhat hurt his eyes. But he saw her, as she threw him a disgusted look and flew in the direction of the east.
When he was curious, he would find out, what happened. And such a sudden change in person and power demanded his immediate attention.
„Jaken, keep Rin safe.“, he said and ascended to follow the miko, without awaiting Jakens answer.
She was faster than he. So he turned himself to his orb and followed her, until she flew straight into a barrier, which burst into nothing with her impact.
The Daiyoukai just stopped and turned back to his humanoid self and stared at the destroyed barrier, in which the miko just… he did not know how to describe it, but she found Naraku… The stench if his miasma leaking out of the once barrier.
He heard Naraku scream, smelt his blood and saw a great, blinding light. He closed his eyes with his sleeves. After a while, he opened them again and found the miko standing in the middle of a ruin. The ruins of Narakus palace.
He saw, how she held the Shikon no Tama in her hand. He flew right to the small battlefield and sniffed the air. Narakus death hung softly in the air. It would seem, as if she purified even his stench. Then, he saw, as the miko ignored him completely, while her attention was solely on Kagura, who looked bewildered.
„Poor woman. Kagura is your name, correct?“, she asked, as she slowly walked to the wind sorceress, „Do not fear me, I would never harm a woman.“
She said with a smile. Her stormy blue eyes showing her kindness. The kindness he himself had seen so many times.
„I am… free.“, Kagura whispered and looked around, waiting for Narakus showing up and destroying her dream of freedom.
„Yes, you are. Naraku is dead. He no longer exists.’’, Kagome confirmed.
What happened to the naive miko he knew?
Kagura fell to her knees and began to cry. Naraku was dead and she was free.
Kagome went over to the demoness and held her in her arms as she softly stroke her hair.
„Hush now. Enjoy this freedom with a smile. Never again will a man harm you.“, she said softly and stood up, Kagura following her.
Now, she heard his nearing steps and stood still.
„Miko, what happened to you?“, asked Sesshomaru, who no longer could wait.
„Who do you think are you talking to, three-legged bug?“, she asked in a cold voice. So cold, it put he, himself to shame.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. This woman was nuts. This, he always knew. But never disgusted.
„Ah, I see. ‚Lord Sesshomaru’.“, she said in a mocking tone and regarded him, „What do you want?“
„Some answers.“, he answered cautiously. What was wrong with the girl?
„Oh? I am not interested in playing with you, bug. Go out of my way or you will regret crossing my path.“, she warned him.
,,Kagome, what happened to you?“, asked Kagura, who came out of her bewilderment.
,,What happened to me?’’, she asked with big eyes, „I…-I don’t know…“
Kagome sank to her knees and held head which hurt like hell.
She fell over and… slept.
„I smell Naraku! Let’s go!“, commanded Inuyasha and ran back the way he just came from.
Sango and Miroku hot on his heels on Kirara.
„I hope, Shippo is not angry, when he finds out, that we left him with Mushin-Sensei.“, Miroku tought aloud.
„He will not.“, confirmed Sango and pushed Kirara to fly faster.
Sesshomaru just stood there, looking at the form of the miko. Was she possessed? If so, he could not feel nor see anything of that kind.
As he came closer, Kagome stood up and jumped to the right side. He just saw, that the Shikon no Tama was embedded over her chest in the armor. As if the armor was especially made for this.
„Ah. How bothersome. So many memories. The disadvantages of immortality.“, she said to no one in particular, as she unsheathed the Daikatana on her hip.
Immortality? How came, that this human girl was immortal? He understood absolutely nothing.
Right now, he smelt his brothers approach and waited for the miko’s reaction.
„My pets are coming.“, she said with a slow smile, „But they are my… my… fri- friends?’’
Kagome was unsure, as to what was happening to her. She remembered things, she never really lived. She remembered her friends, but she could not recognize them as such. She felt her power deep within her. Her soul, which was finally binding itself fully to her body. She always felt, as if she was not full. As if she was missing something. And she always thought, that the missing part was the part of soul in Kikyou. But she somehow knew for a fact, that she was not the reincarnation of Kikyou. She was Chiharu Junko! No, she was Midoriko! Or was it Yuriko, the princess? Who was she?
The young priestess growled and whimpered. Her head hurt like hell. But in front of her was a foe. She knew, men were bad. They were all evil. Even her dog eared pet from earlier. No one was good in his dirty heart. They were all unworthy of anything!
Kagome looked determined to Sesshomaru. She recognized him. She remembered him and his name. He was evil! He tried to kill her for no reason! Then, she attacked him with her sword. He dodged it in the last second with drawing Bakusaiga.
„Not bad, vermin! Let’s see, what you can do. Let’s see, if you can nearly kill me again!“, Kagome spat and unsheathed with her free hand her Wakizashi and began to fight Sesshomaru harder, who dodged her very fast attacks and slowly going backwards into the forrest.
They fought a little while, until they heard Sangos voice, who could bring Kagome somewhat to herself. Sesshomaru saw a chance, when he got one, so he striked down on Kagomes shoulder, but she was faster! She catched his sword into crossed swords of hers and he only managed to touch that pelt on her left shoulder.
As if sensing his distress, Bakusaiga began to glow with its poison. Kagome’s swords also reacted to the demonic poison and began to puryfy the demon and the poison.
„Miko, wake up!“, he commanded.
It was 2 years ago, when he last tried to kill her, since then, they were allied. What was happening to her?! He did not really have the desire to kill her. But she did not let him any other chance.
„I am fully awake, you useless male!“, she spat and pushed him further back until he stood with his back in front of a tree.
„Kagome, stop it!“, screamed Sango and ran to Kagome to hug her, „Please, Kagome, come back! Please, forgive me!“
Sango put a special powder under Kagomes nose, who just fell asleep.
The taijiya took the mikos head into her lap and stroke her face lovingly.
„What happened to the miko?“, asked Sesshomaru, who just received a ‚keh’ from Inuyasha.
But Miroku just told him what he heard from his mentor. Inuyasha, hearing this also for the first time, just looked horrified.
„Well, that would explain the dead men and demons on that scar.. stupid tomb back there…“, he said and crossed his arms, „So what now?“
Everyone knew, Kagome was a danger for all male creatures on this world.
„There is a way. A powerful demon would have to mate her to puryfy her soul.“, Sesshomaru said, as he looked at Kagome thoughtfully.
„How can a demon puryfy a soul…“, asked Inuyasha unbelievingly and looked at his brother, as if he was stupid.
„Inuyasha, I am ashamed of admitting this, but your stupidity sometimes hurts even me. But for your limited inteligence, I shall teach you some small things… just as Reiki puryfies Youki, Youki also puryfies Reiki.“, he said in a bored tone.
„But how will that puryfy her soul?“, asked Sando, nearly crying.
„Every soul returns clean to the realm of the living. Hers was being tainted from the first time. No youki from the other side was strong enough to puryfy the soul.“
„But her soul is immortal, it can’t be puryfied.“, Miroku said with a frown.
,,Unless she really mates the demon.’’, said Inuyasha, who looked at Kagome with longing in his eyes.
,,So it is.’’, confirmed Sesshomaru, as he leaned back on the tree and looked at the small group.
Even Kagura was sitting next to Kagome and looked at her in awe. He recognized that look in her eyes. Hero worshipping. He saw that look every day in Rins eyes.
There were only two possibilities for the miko however.
To die right now, or she would have to find a demon mate, to be her opposite. Just like Ying and Yang. Good and evil. Male and female.
„Mate her.“, said Sango sadly, „Mate her, Sesshomaru-Sama! Please!“
He did not think to mate that crazed female. On the other hand, she was so very powerful. And he too, was very powerful. But was she worth all the problems?
What, if his youkai would not be able to puryfy her soul, to get it clean again?
‚We can choose, what she may remember and what not.’, said his beast.
‚So? And what are we supposed to let her remember from her former lifes?’, Sesshomaru asked his beast back.
,The self control. Her strength. That should be a great deal for her!’, it said.
And Sesshomaru was really contemplating to mate an immortal miko. Why not? The pups would definitely be most powerful.
„The hell he will! Stay away from her, you bastard!“, Inuyasha screamed and stood in front of Kagome.
„Inuyasha! Just shut the fu** up and stay away. You hurt her the most! And you would definitely be the first one to die, when she remembers you!“, Sango threatened and stared the hanyou down, who in turn ‚Keh’ed and ran away.
Inuyasha knew, he screwed everything up with Kagome. But still… he loved her. But he also knew, he was not powerful enough to keep her at bay. He gritted his teeth, as he jumped from one branch to the other.
„I will never allow anyone to kill Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru, so do not even think of that option! She would definitely kill many men with this thinking of hers. But never would she kill a man, who was honorable enough in his life.“
Sesshomaru stood then up and took the miko into his arms. Sango knew right then, that he would mate her. So she let him.
From now on, all she could do, was to pray.
He flew away with her. Into the mountains, where he knew, were the hot springs.
He stripped her off her armor and clothings and everything, just as he did himself the same thing. The mating itself had first a chase and a fight. Of course, without any weapon or clothing. After the fight, they would wash themselves. And after washing themselves, they would decide if they wanted to mate or not.
He left his mokomoko right beside the biggest hot spring and waited patiently for his mate-to-be to awaken….
After a few hours of waiting, the miko groaned and squeezed her head in her small hands. Now, he wondered, who exactly was laying there. The amazon? The samurai? The warrior?
It was funny, really. Her former lives were all strong characters. This time however, she was just an ordinary girl with a big heart for everyone. Male or female. Demon or human. He preferred the side of this amazon and the miko from now. The two of them combined, she would be the greatest warrior. After him, of course.
„Ugh, my head hurts like hell!“, she groaned, as she stood up. She shivered a few times and looked around.
She was in a cave, with a hot spring. And there was someone. That someone was watching her. The voyeur was directly behind her.
Since she could see nothing, but hear and smell everything perfectly fine, she turned around and tried to see something.
The cave in itself was very dark, but was softly illuminated by the small stones in the walls. She remembered this place. In this place, they all bathed. She and her mother and her sisters!
That was, when they first ran away from those vermins called brothers and cousins.
„Lord Sesshomaru.“, she whispered coldly, „What ist he meaning of this?“
Sesshomaru smirked, as she spotted his glowing eyes.
„This one will give you a chance to survive. It would seem, that many demons do not wish for you to live.’’, he said monotone.
,,I do not care for what male creatures have a problem with. Enlighten me about my nudity. Are you as a demon not disgusted by a human female? Or do you really think, that you are strong enough to puryfy my soul?’’, Kagome smiled softly, as she stood up, without any shame.
,,I see, that the miko Kagome’s modesty is not hindering you.“, said Sesshomaru as he eyed the freely given view.
He was excited. The thrill of the chase and fight was a fun challenge. But the prize would be great. Did she really think, she was so great?
The young lord of the West stood slowly up and walked up to her, until he stood a few feet away from her. His smirk only grew, as he saw the disgusted look in Kagome’s eyes and curled lip.
No one knew it, but he loved it, when females did not throw themselves at his feet. They were unworthy.
„Males with no pride are unworthy of me.“, Kagome spat, as she formed an energy ball in her hand.
Really, she did not know why she was saying such things, but somehow, they were true and she could only confirm them. Inuyasha had hurt her like hell, Miroku tried to kill her, Kouga tried to force himself upon her. Hojo annoyed the crap out of her. Everyone was bad. Even evil to females. Why? She did not know why.
On the other hand, why did she know how to create a purity ball? What was wrong with her?
Sesshomaru saw the confusion in Kagomes eyes. He knew, she was somehow battling herself. Maybe this was a chance. And he always saw one, when got one to see.
„Miko, you are not the reincarnation of the miko Kikyou.“, Sesshomaru began and saw, how Kagomes attention was drawn to his eyes. She was calculating his words, even analyzing them.
„How so? What do you know?“, she asked and narrowed her eyes.
She remembered Kikyou. That miko was, as if she was a far away memory, but still it was somehow very near.
Her position was aggressive. Her purity ball was ready for an attack, so he would have to wait before the chase. Maybe he could break her will a bit and get the actual miko to the surface.
He was sure, she would be easier to mate, since she was not filled with hatred.
„You are an amazon. From the very first humans, who came to these lands. 2'500 years ago. Do you remember?“, he asked and saw the calculating in her eyes.
She nodded once, as her eyes widened somewhat.
„The men wanted to rape even children, like me!“, she spat, „I was only 10!“
Rin was 10 years young. Sesshomaru felt disgusted and he knew, that it somehow showed on his face, as she watched him curiously.
„Of course, I was more inteligent than grown men, back then.“, she said with big eyes, „I saw the future of torture coming. I warned the females. They were scared. The men laughed at me, for trying to convince them to fight back. I was pushed back in a cave from two men, who should be my husbands. But I killed them. They were too drunk to realize anything. So stupid.“
A killer girl with 10 years. He was impressed. How came she was pure at heart and soul?
„I am sure, you think as to why my heart and soul are still pure even though I killed so many foes. I will not let you live more stupid as you are now, Lord Sesshomaru. I protected myself and all the other females from these evils. A hero has to kill the foe in order to protect what he or she loves. And I did so. Why every male creature thinks, that I am evil, is beyond my understanding. Is it so right for a male to rape and kill females and girls in a war? But so wrong of a girl defending herself and her mother and sisters?“, she asked, as she rounded him.
„There is nothing unhonorable to defend yourself, miko.“, he confirmed, „It is a show of strength. When human males are not able to see the benefits of the strength his female has, then he is unworthy of her.“
„Now we do understand each other, somewhat. So tell me, Lord Sesshomaru, why do you think, you are worthy of me?“, she asked in a mocking tone.
Sesshomaru knew that the answer he had to give her right now was very important. If he wanted to mate her, it had to be the right answer.
„The miko Kagome deserves to live.“, he said and hoped, it would be good enough as an answer.
And it confused the miko. „Everyone has the right to live, Lord Sesshomaru. But not the ones, who hurt someone else without any reason.’’, said Kagome, as she stood behind him, ,,But since you, a great killer with no reason at all, said something like that, I would like to know, why you think this way.’’
This was a harder fight than the physical fight. They chased each other right now with their minds, trying to control the direction, in which they were going. It was like a cave with many halls and floors. Each answer and each question drove them to one of these complex halls.
„Because she did nothing wrong. She does not deserve to die like you died over and over again.“, he said, as he turned around, to look at her in the face.
„And what do you think, have I done wrong in my former lives? Have I protected the ones I love too fiercely? Was it too peaceful to live?“, she asked in a broken tone.
„No. But you were alone, when the ones you protected most fiercely died.’’, he said and watched, as her eyes widened.
She nodded.
„Immortality is not as beautiful as one thinks. It is sad. I watched my family die. I watched, as the children of my brothers and sisters die, just like their grandchildren. And some time later, I was always alone.“, she confirmed.
,,If you mate with me, I will erase these sad memories and let you live a new and young life, with your immortality, with your powers. But as the miko Kagome, not Chiharu Junko or Midoriko.’’
,,Or Yuriko.’’, Kagome said, ,,I know, I have too many memories. I want to kill you, for trying to kill me, but, I remember, that we are allies now...’’
He knew, Kagome took in her memory. When she remembered the time of Chiharu Junko, she had the same character as her. When she was Midoriko, the same. But there were some traits, which were in all characters present.
She was fierce. When she loved someone, she would die for that person, even kill. And as innocent as the miko Kagome was, she killed many demons in order to protect her friends. She was so very loyal to those around her. Fair.
She always stood strong and proud. Yes, she would be, indeed a good mate.
„I remember some things from my time as Midoriko. I studied many things about youkai. And I remember trying to find a way to live a normal life.“, Kagome said, „It involves mating a youkai. Is it this, you are trying to convince me? To help me erase my old memories?’’
,,When we mate, I will erase the unnecessary memories of your former lives from you.’’, he confirmed and waited.
,,A mating involves a chase and a fight. We will see, if you are worthy of me.“, with that, Kagome stood in front of him, with an evil smirk on her face, „If you are not, I will see it as a trying from you to kill me. And for that, I will kill you, Lord Sesshomaru.’’
Sesshomaru only smirked and attacked.
,,You know Sesshomaru. These hotsprings were made by us. The many caves in here, were built by us!“, she screamed, as she jumped away into the darkness.
Using her energy, she purified the air around the demon, who narrowed his eyes and felt his excitement grow.
That was good. When she knew this place, then the chase and fight would be much more fun. Because, a female who did not know, where she was, was an easy prey.
He felt the small hairs on his neck rising and jumped away, as the pure energy ball flew through place, where he just stood.
He used his whip to attack her and she dodged it with an energy spear. Not bad.
But she was too confused with her own self, to understand fully, what exactly she was doing. She did everything on instinct.
Which was good for him.
He jumped at her with his full speed. Ready to tackle her to the ground. She never saw him coming, but felt him. And just feeling and not knowing, what was going on with her, she was already on the ground, with Sesshomaru above her. He breathed on her neck, which made her shudder.
It was really bad with her memories. Sometimes, she knew, what she was doing, but other times, she wondered, where she was. Who she was. But she was Kagome!
„Submit, miko.“, he ordered and he felt, as she tried to relax.
She opened her mouth, he was sure, she wanted to submit, but her memory changed, and she began to glow with purity. He was sent flying to the hot spring, in which he landet gracefully.
„You are not bad.“, she said, as she panted. Struggling with herself and the demon, was quite difficult, this she would admit. But she would not make it easy on him.
„Hn.“, was all he said, as he attacked her again with his speed and whip.
She dodged and threw energy balls at him.
After two hours of attacking and dodging, the miko fell to her knees, holding her head tightly.
Her head hurt like hell. Sometimes worse, sometimes nearly nothing. Right now, it was hell!
„Be my mate, miko, and you will no longer suffer from these headaches.“, he promised, as he came nearer and waited.
She just looked at him with the big eyes he knew so well. There was Kagome on the ground. The real Kagome. This was his chance.
He took her into his arms and walked into the hot springs. He washed her, as she limply allowed him to do her these good things.
He did not intend to massage her head, even if it was his job as her mate. But he would not risk it, to let the amazon return. That one character was too fierce.
After the washing, he laid her down on his mokomoko, checking her on her injuries.
Her immortality healed her just as fast as a demons healing abilities.
„Are you willing to be my mate, miko?“, he asked and waited.
He knew, she would lose control, when he forced himself upon her.
„Will it stop hurting? Will I be normal again?“, she asked with tears in her eyes.
She was so tired. So weak. The answer of his determined expression was all she needed, as she nodded and closed her eyes.

10 years later
„No, I will not!“, said Kagome, as she walked angrily away from Sesshomaru.
He was in heat. She was fertile and that stupid dog wanted to get her pregnant, AGAIN!
„NOOO! I said!“, she screamed right into his ear, as he tackled her to the ground. He visibly winced at the ringing in his ear.
„Cease these strugglings and screams, woman. It is only natural to help your mate in need.“, he growled lustfully.
„It is not natural to get each time pregnant! We have already 5 pups! In ten years!“, she glowed with pure energy, as she sent her mate flying, who landed with grace on the ground. Her pure energy could not hurt him, since his youki and her reiki were the same. His was dark, while hers was light.
„Only five.“, he confirmed, the disappointment clear in his eyes and voice.
,,Yes, I know, some other guys had more in ten years! But I don’t care! I don’t care about the males stupid pride!’’, she walked away and left her mate behind, who was brooding his next steps.
Of course, when her fertility was over, she would drive him insane with her attentions. But not in this phase!
She smirked evilly as she planned out every little detail.
It was curious, how it all happened.
Ten years ago, her life changed in one day. She remembered too many memories. She had too many personalities with other names. She automatically thought of the schizophrenia. It was known as a mental illness, which was not to be healed.
Not even with Sesshomarus youkai. Of course, she remembered nearly nothing from her former lives. But she remembered, how she learned her powers. What she had to do to control them. Why she had a fierce character.
She had to admit, her former lives were great females. And she was so very proud of each of them. And to be honest, she was so very happy that she wasn’t Kikyous reincarnation. And that she was… well… weaker than herself. Inuyasha never compared her again to Kikyou, since she gave the dead miko her life back.
Part of Sesshomarus pup craze came from his jealousy of Inuyasha, who had 6 pups, and the lord of the west only 5. Even Miroku and Sango had 8 children. That was, because Sango gave once birth to triplets and once to twins.
His jealousy about this subject drove her insane. But his idea’s to get her attentions were so very cute. So very Sesshomaruish and still not Sesshomaruish.
He tried to fight her. He organized romantic meals. Of course, the servants did everything, but still. He brought her to the most beautiful fields of flowers. He brought her to the cave, where he took her as his mate… back then, she became pregnant with their 3rd pup, this she admitted… He even played with their pups in his true form. Just to show her, how good of a father he was. That he could take care of all of them… And she was forced to endure his special advances every month since she was once in a month in heat!
That he was a capable male of everything, she knew. He took great care of her. But she was not ready for more pups. She wanted to love him some more. To have him more for herself.
Yes, they loved each other. They respected each other. And they were loyal to each other. But they never said this aloud. It was too precious to be heard by anyone. Even by themselves. And that would remain so. At the very end, he bonded his soul to her, which spoke to her every day more of love than his lips and eyes.
