A New Life

Chapter 1

I am pretty new at this, so bear with me, this is an edit of the original because I read it and was mad at myself for not seeing the mistakes and how bad it was sooner. So I am trying again.

I own nothing. Though I would like very much to own that hunk of demon called Sesshomaru.

(Sesshomaru P.O.V)

'The scream he had heard must have come from near here.' He thought. As he was just about to come out of the trees, he saw the young miko his brother traveled with running towards the well. He watched her shed sad, salty tears, as she ran to the bone-eaters well. He had been watching her ever since she appeared out of the Bone-Eaters well. Even though she was human, something about her recklessness and bravery, intrigued him. He watched as she tripped seemingly over nothing, and dashed to catch her, feeling his time to act was now.

I felt my heart breaking again seeing Inuyasha and Kikyo in the clearing. They were embracing with the most tender kiss she had ever seen. This time, she could see, Inuyasha's eyes weren't blank like the last few times. They were full of life...and love he only kept for Kikyo.

'I really was just a shard hunter,' I thought sadly. I continued to cry harder and tried-but failed-to hide a hiccup. Inuyasha looked over at me, his eyes widening.

"K-Kagome...,"

"Sit!" I screeched.

He fell instantly and I took the chance to run. I ran quickly, saying sit every now and then to buy me more time. As I came to the clearing, feeling releived at seeing the well, I tripped. I kept my eyes closed. But instead of falling to the hard ground, I found myself caught in someone's arms.

'Who...?' I thought.

I looked up to see eyes like Inuyasha's. But instead of being a rich honey color, they were a deep, but beautiful, amber.

"Are you alright Miko," A deep voice asked.

"H-hai Lord Sesshomaru-Sama. I-I'm fine."

"Hn."

He set me down and I hung my head in respect.

"Arigato Lord Sesshomaru-Sama,"

I started to cry again. I sat on my knees and covered my face with my hands. I was surprised when he kneeled next to me.

"Look at me Miko,"

I looked up

He reached a hand up and swiftly wiped a stray tear from my cheek.

I looked up at the darkening sky and sniffed. Inuyasha was coming.

'We need to-'

"Sesshomaru," I heard Inuyasha shout. "What the hell are you doing here?"

He looked at the Miko and saw her tearstained face.

"You did this, didn't you?" He shouted.

Of course the mutt would think it was all my fault.

He charged at me, his sword drawn. I started to pull out Tokijin when a flash of black jumped in front of me. Her blood splattered on my face. I watched her fall to the ground and all I could see was red.

"Inuyasha," I growled. "today is the day you die."

His ears flattened against his skull and he backed away. The pain in his eyes showed how sorry he was. I cracked my knuckles. I didn't care.

"Sesshomaru...Inuyasha..." I heard a meek voice say. "don't fight...please..."

I sheathed my sword. I could feel Tenseiga resonating through it's sheath. I pulled it out and I could feel it's strenghth.

'So you want me to save another human I see,' I thought.

I stood over the Miko. I could see the demons trying to take her soul. I killed them with my sword and watched as the light in her eyes returned. I looked up and Inuyasha was gone. Typical. I picked her up bridal style and walked to Kaede's village, where her friends were residing.

(Kagome P.O.V)

I was falling into a dark pit. The last thing I remembered was Inuyasha charging at me and then...nothing. As I fell, I screamed. My whole body started burning and I screamed louder. Then, suddenly, all of my pain was gone. I opened my eyes to see...

"Sesshomaru..."
