Chapter 1

123456789

The most painful love there is, is the love left unshown
A love that cannot be expressed, affection left unknown
The love that withholds touching, afraid of what it would say
And the most painful thing about unexpressed love is... it never fades away
--Susan Polis Schutz

He watched her as she slowly pulled on her kimono. She did it slowly and he knew she was waiting for him to ask her to stay. To go against his newly obtained reputation and just keep her with him.

She was wasting her time.

"Sesshomaru?"

He didn't speak, but gave her a nod that told her he was indeed listening.

"Why do you do this? Go through woman after woman. Why don't you just pick a mate and stop this nonsense? Haven't you caused your people enough shame?"

Sesshomaru growled. "They are not my people any longer, if you wish to talk about those matter you should be speaking with Inuyasha. And as for your other question it is not your business. See yourself out of my chambers."

Katara scoffed. "Fine, I have no wish to be here anymore anyway." She stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

Sesshomaru got to his feet and redressed himself. His brother would be bursting into the room in a few moments and Sesshomaru wouldn't want to be naked for that.

Right on time he busted in without knocking.

"Sesshomaru, what the hell were you thinking this time? Katara? Her father is part of our council."

"Correction, he is on your council. When I passed lordship to you they became your advisors. I do as I please."

"Everyone is well aware of that."

"Indeed."

Inuyasha sighed. "Sesshomaru, it's been seven years. When are you going to stop punishing yourself?"

"I am not punishing myself. I am merely moving on with it. How I choose to do so is entirely my business."

Inuyasha ignored him and continued, "No one knew that the wish wouldn't work."

Sesshomaru went to the door. "Perhaps not, but I promised to protect her and I didn't."

"Yes, you did! And where are you going?"

"That is not of any importance to you."

"Sakura, don't sit that close to the edge. That lake is freezing and you'll get sick."

Miroku had to hold back his laughed as his daughter huffed and scooted back. She looked so much like her mother.

"You know what daddy? You are a big meanie!"

Miroku chuckled. "I am merely looking out for you. Do you like being sick?"

She sighed. "No, I don't like being sick."

"There you understand then?"

"Yes, daddy I understand."

"Make sure you tell your mother I taught you something good. She's never going to let the cursing thing go if you don't."

"Oh, you mean when you hit your foot and said f-"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"Oh, okay I'll tell her."

"Kagome."

"TJ." How sad after all this time Kagome still didn't know what 'TJ' stood for?

"You know what a risk you are taking looking into his mind. I know he's sensed you a few times."

"That was when I first started. I never let him know I'm there anymore and he thinks he imagined it all those other times."

"You'll have to see him soon."

Kagome sighed. "I know, but I don't know how it's going to go. All those poor women that he....anyway, I'm not sure I will ever look at him the same. I would have been happier if he would have just chosen a different mate."

"We all deal with pain in our own way. He feels guilt every day for everything he does. Sesshomaru is not an evil being and he misses you more than anything."

"He thinks I'm dead. When he finds out the truth, he'll blame me and he'll be right. I should have just went back to him once you saved me."

"That wasn't possible and you know it. If you had stayed you would have really died. As soon as Sesshomaru's enemies knew about you they would have killed you. Elle foresaw it."

"I know, I know, I just wish I could have told him."

"He would have come for you. He couldn't have given you the training that we did."

"And you still haven't told me why it was so important that I survive and fight in this war."

"I have revealed your task to you."

"Anyone could do what your asking of me. I know there's something your not telling me and Elle too."

The raven youkai smiled. "And we have clearly taught you much better than we even thought."

Kagome smirked. "I'm not going to let it go so stop trying to change the subject."

TJ sighed. "Well, you will have to for now. We need to go pack your things."

Inuyasha stormed into his chambers. What the hell was his brother doing? Acting like a pup, that's what he was doing. A very irresponsible one. Wasn't that his job?

Inuyasha sat down in a chair. He had never wanted to be Lord of the West. But Inuyasha thought that it's only be temporary and that Sesshomaru needed time off. Now a war was starting and the people needed Sesshomaru back. Inuyasha didn't have enough experience to win. He raked his long, now full youkai, claws through his hair and remember what happened after that bird had taken off with Kagome's body.

Flashback

Sesshomaru walked back to where the others were standing. He looked around and went to where Naraku had previously stood. He picked up his part of the jewel and put it next to Kagome's. The jewel formed a small circle and Sesshomaru starred at it.

Inuyasha walked over and put his hand on his shoulder. "Wish her back."

Sesshomaru nodded and closed his eyes.

"The wish I would like to place on the Shikon no Tama is the resurrection of my mate, Kagome."

The jewel glowed brightly and engulfed both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. When the light faded they stood in a void of nothing, Kikyo standing before them.

"Midoriko was supposed to come, but I begged her to let me. I wanted a chance thank you Inuyasha. For finally setting me free. I know it was hard for you but believe me, from what I've seen there is so much happiness coming for you. And Sesshomaru, thank you for loving Kagome. She's never had someone entirely devoted to her the way you were."

"Kikyo..." Inuyasha could hardly believe it. He never thought he'd see her again.

"Now, to get to your wish."

Kikyo took the Shikon Jewel in her hands and closed her eyes. The jewel brightened and faded several times and after a few minutes Kikyo opened her eyes frowning.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru said harshly.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru, but I can't bring her back. She is not in the spirit realm."

"She died damn it! I saw her! Where the hell would she be!?"

Inuyasha was shocked. He had never head Sesshomaru talk that way.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. I can't sense her anywhere. It's like she doesn't exist."

Sesshomaru growled. "She does exist."

"She didn't exist in this time, remember?" Kikyo said softly. She looked like she was almost in tears.

Sesshomaru pulled his emotionless mask back on. "It was different now. I made her inuyoukai, she no longer had just you in her, but me as well. She would not have gone back to her time. She is gone and there is nothing to be done about it."

Kikyo sighed. "A wish has to be made. We can't keep the jewel on this earth any longer."

Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha. "Take the wish and become a full blooded youkai. At least the jewel will be gone."

End Flashback

Inuyasha shook his head. They had searched and searched for an answer as to wait could have happened to Kagome, but the only thing that was agreed upon was that she had not gone back to her own time. They had even tried to locate her body but were never able to do so.

Inuyasha missed Kagome himself. She had been the heart of their group and once she died no one had wanted to stay together. It would just be a constant memory of what they had lost.

Sesshomaru walked and walked. He wasn't even sure where he was going. He knew he should stay and help his brother and his people, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Why help save a world that had taken so much from him? It didn't seem fair.

He thought of Kagome's beautiful smile. And he wondered if she had really heard his final confession. Did she know that he had in fact loved her?

He picked up his pace then transforming as he went. He felt a little better when he was in his true youkai form.

And then when he had reached his full speed and the edge of the western lands, he heard it. Her voice in his head, as if she were standing next to him.

Sesshomaru.
