The world seemed to skew on its axis. In Kagome’s mind, there was a perilous dark crack. Her subjugation spell hadn’t held him— Had it ever? Around her own wrists the rosaries caught flame, burning through her sleeves. “Courtship?” she seethed, ripping the singed beads from her. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” But Sesshoumaru

SessKag Series: At the End of the World, Part 2
– 2 – Cathedral A ramble through the old village cemetery seemed a fitting venture the next day, as Kagome departed zombie-like from the cottage. Shambling over to where her bike leaned against the hedgerow, she dragged herself up into the seat. Riding through the crisp morning air did something to revive her. Still raw-eyed
SessKag Series: At the End of the World, Part 1
– 1 – Castle Tugging up her scarf, Kagome stepped out of the cab. Shivering, she waited for the friendly old driver to fetch her bags from the trunk. In his Irish cap and woolen browns and greens, he looked straight like a cutout from a travel brochure. Even his round nose and cheeks were
SessKag Series: Control, Part 224
Well, what did she expect, Kagome berated herself. That he would go on loving her, after the way she’d so viciously spurned him? No, but he had loved her once. Saved her once, because of it. But that time had passed. Things were different now. Her mortal coil was burning away, and he was marrying
SessKag Series: Control, Part 223
Stoic and regal, Sesshoumaru stood tall before her, the lone beacon of calm in the fiery, raging maelstrom of her torment. From where she knelt, Kagome looked up at his handsome face, so surreally lovely to her in that moment that it brought a fresh stab of pain to her chest. His glowing eyes were
SessKag Series: Control, Part 222
No, Kagome thought. No… As Tessaiga dimmed, a convulsing sob wracked through her. In her glowing hands, the dark blade began to smoke. With a pained cry, she cast it away from her and lurched to her feet. Around her, the world seemed sharply to tilt. Blinding white agony lanced between her eyes, but it
Control Side-Stories: The Dialogue of That Night
“Sesshoumaru-sama, there is something I must tell you. Something terrible which I must confess. It concerns Kagome-sama.” Silence looms, heavy, expectant. The rings of the shakujou faintly tremble. “Before Naraku’s defeat, before her marriage to your brother, an incident occurred… “That night, Kagome-sama wished to be alone. Inuyasha had left again, and she was disheartened.
Control Side-Stories: That Night, Final Part
“We decided she would be better off not knowing the rest.” Violet eyes stray aside. “The three of us decided together.” It wasn’t her fault. This was what he’d told himself when he’d first barged into that shack and seen Kagome lying there, pale and listless under that ratty blanket. She’d fallen into the river,
SessKag Series: Control, Part 221
Black thunder rolled against her senses. Ominous and oppressive in its sweep. Tenseiga…it was of no further use to me. Kagome slammed the door aside. Blood stained the front of her white haori, dripped from the knife clutched in her shaking fist. Her fingers clamped around the naked blade. Red drops rained down to pit
SessKag Series: Control, Part 220 (Explicit)
Dread gnawed Kagome up inside, as she stood before the door of a building she’d scarcely glanced at before. The windows were fitted with wooden bars. The door was bolted heavily from the outside. As Kagome laid her hand to the bolt, the priestesses at her back hovered grimly. “Please, Miko-sama,” the eldest urged her
