Sex, Pain, and Lies

Chapter 6

I Don't own Inuyasha.

(Review of previous chapter)

"Okay, Kagome. Let's start the tour!" Midoriko stepped from behind the counter and stood near Kagome who nodded her agreement. "Alright, let's go!"

Midoriko led Kagome down a hall, that was decorated similarly to the one she walked through when she came in. They walked down the hall in silence, it was nice for Kagome, the quiet walk gave her time to clear her mind and think about the tour of Paradise Apartments. Would it truly be paradise?

'She is cute! I was right!' Midoriko thought to herself. 'If I dare say, she is very beautiful, sexy even! Ooh Sesshomaru is gonna be enraptured by this one! I hope she decides to stay here, maybe then Sesshomaru could stop having to survive that way. Maybe she'll be able to get to him like no other could. Well it's not good to hope so much, but I can't help it!'

They finally reached a set of metal doors when Midoriko turned and smiled for the umpteenth time that evening. 'I better give her the best tour I have ever given! For Sesshomaru!' "Okay! Here we are! You, Kagome are about to see the paradise in Paradise Apartments!" She spoke with such enthusiasm that even Kagome became excited. Midoriko placed her hands on the doors and pushed to reveal the most beautiful garden she had ever seen.

"Welcome to Paradise Apartments!"

He pulled out a pendant that had a clasp that kept it from opening without it's wearer's permission. He placed the pendant right next to him heart, thinking of his mother before opening it. On the left there was a picture of his mother who was holding him at the age of 5 months, he was a rather cubby baby if did say so himself. And on the left, there was an engraving similar to the one on the bottom of the chest. It read:

'My dearest Sesshomaru...I'll always be there for you.

Maybe not when you want me but when it matters most...

When you need me.

I love you.

-Mommy'

Sesshomaru smiled and placed the cool metal of the pendant to his silk-like lips. But then he smelt something wonderful. Something familiar, something that tightened his chest and blurred his brain with conflicted feelings.

He smelled French vanilla and fresh picked strawberries. He smelled...

Kagome.

Chapter 6

Unwanted...

Unloved...

Unworthy...

Abandoned...

Denied...

Disgusting...

Bastard...

Betrayed...

Nothing...

Sesshomaru's mind whispered. The incomprehensible words penetrating his skull. The words said at different points along his short timeline of life events. All echoed within the walls of his brain bouncing along the cells and coercing the usually hidden emotion from it's long appointed prison. Sadness.

Tears welled within his eyes. They stung, not used to the increase of liquid within their almond shaped confines. He blinked trying to remove them, with no avail. The damn things wouldn't stop. He felt like a young boy again, shedding tears for the stupidest of things...
