-1Chapter 1
"Wha...,"Kagome looked down at her blouse her hand held tightly to her chest trying to stop the flow of blood. She soon fell as the pain finally struck her. It seemed like hours passed while she began to fall but in reality it was only seconds.
She grasped at the ground trying to get away as she tried to hold the blood in, but it was pointless, the wound was too deep and she was running out of blood fast. She looked down to see the arrow that had just been inside her chest, luckily it had missed her heart and lungs but still would kill her if she didn't stop the blood flow soon.
She found herself in front on a huge willow tree, quickly she turned around to see Kikyo trailing after her. "You will not take what is mine Kagome!" Kikyo whispered out in her usual cold voice.
-----
Inuyasha could smell it...he knew what was happening and yet his mind couldn't register why it was the dead plants and earth sent of Kikyo he could smell along with Kagome's sweet Sakura blossom sent and her metallic blood.
He leapt over the trees to see Kikyo aiming for Kagome's heart. His mind went blank everything was so confusing and yet he knew that his Kikyo was going to kill his Kagome if he didn't stop her, at this moment his heart stopped and his hand reached out for her," Kikyo...don't.."
Kikyo didn't bother to look back at Inuyasha's face as her aim was perfect, she knew all she had to do was let go and forever her reincarnation would be out of her way and she could take Inuyasha to hell with her...finally.
----thirty minuets earlier----
Kagome sat down upon a large boulder dangling her feet into the river below. Her smile faded in and she sighed long and lengthy while breathing in the sweet river smell that surrounded her.
She could see the small fish swimming around in the shallow water around her toes. She let out a small giggle as one nibbled on her pinky toe. Her back went against the boulder as she stretched and laid down against the cold surface.
Her eyes transfixed on the stars above her, that was when she saw it, Kikyo's soul stealers flying through the night sky.
"Just what I needed." Kagome sighed out as she hopped off the rock and starred into the eyes of the dead miko. "Hello Kikyo." She said non too happily.
The cold miko didn't say a word back to Kagome for about fifteen minuets, both miko's were quiet even their breaths seemed to be whispering.
"Where is Inuyasha? "Kikyo asked as she starred coldly at Kagome, her eyes held no depth to them only sorrow on the surface and hallow all the way through.
"Sleeping as normal people..er Hanyous do at this time of night. Why?" Kagome's eyes wondered through Kikyo's, her eyes only reaching the surface of sorrow, not able to penetrate the false depth.
"That is none of your concern Kagome...What is your concern, is the fact that you are to die soon. You see I wish to have my complete soul back. With you living, my reincarnation, I cannot have my full soul or my full powers...or my full emotions. I will never be able to live with Inuyasha, if I am not Alive with fresh blood running through my veins, with my pure soul inside of my body. I cannot love him when I do not hold all of my soul to love him with. You have felt this haven't you?" She said this more as a statement than a question. "The pull on your heart to him… Why do you think this is so? It is my love for him still intact trying to get to him, to reach out to him. That is the only reason you think you feel love for him. You could never really truly love him, just like you can never really truly be anything but my reincarnation. You have no real life, only my old one in new circumstances. And as for Inuyasha, you do realize that he only loves you because the real me rests inside of you. Kagome you are fake, and I am here to take back what naturally belongs to me." Kikyo finished.
Kagome felt the words of the dead miko hit her heart like bricks. The pain of her words ran though her every nerve...but what ever she was going to do, she was not going to cry, NO! She would not cry in front of this un sympathetic creature!…
… She felt wetness on her cheek and ran into the forest at that moment an arrow was shot into her chest she fell.
--present----
Sesshomaru soared through the sky. The sun had just risen, and the rays shot around him making his already god-like appearance look ...well, there's no word for it, just amazingly positively elegant.
Suddenly his nose caught a Sakura blossom sent but it was mixed with metallic blood. He was surprised that his nose told himself that the sent was coming from a human, and not just any human...the wench his filthy brother dragged around. He quickly descended close to the sent and picked up another, this was of clay and rotten plants...the sent of the dead miko.
His eyes turned to see the back of the almost dead where she stood, wench of his brothers. The dead miko was in front of her about to take a fatal shot.
The girl, and his idiot half brother were just standing there, like everything was so shocking they couldn't move.
Idiots He thought for a moment as an evil grin shown upon his face, but quickly vanished under his mask.
He decided the most fun he would get out of this was to kill the clay pot and save the human girl under Inuyasha's protection.
"Inuyasha, are you unable to protect those who you've promised?"
While InuYsha was busy focusing on his brother Kikyo knowing she would not get out with her life is she killed the girl, or stayed there, summoned her soul stealers to lift her body into the sky.
"The living deserve to live and the murderers to die. Your weak human qualities shouldn't come in your way of killing anyone." Sesshomaru saw Kikyo trying to escape with her life out of the corner of his eye.
She was pretty far up, but he didn't need to actually kill her just inflict pain. He brought his wrist up and...flick…Kikyo's left foot plummeted to the ground. An ear pitching scream crawled its way up, and out of her throat.
Kagome watched in silence as the scene played out before her. Inuyasha's eyes flickered red, as his blade came up and he swung at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru seeing this glided away, and punched Inuyasha in the jaw, throwing him off his feet and onto the ground.
Out of the corner of his eye he looked over at the girl, her raven locks dripping with blood. Her body fell to the ground as her vision went black.
He did not know what this urge was to pick her up in his arms, and carry her to his castle for aid. As always he followed his instincts, and right now they were to save the girl.
"Well Inuyasha…I suppose I shall clean up your wench, since you haven't been doing very much of a job in caring for her." Sesshomaru spoke as he glided to the unmoving miko.
Inuyasha swung yet again...miss. "Don't you touch her! I'm going to kick your ass!"
He drop-kicked him through ten trees causing them to break in half. With that taken care of Sesshomaru picked up the unconscious girl, and flew on his transportation cloud westward to his castle.
His twisted smile shone again as he listened to Inuyasha's screams fade out. His eyes were drawn to the human in his arms, he noticed how strange the kimono was that she wore.
It was horrible in his eyes, if he was going to use her to piss off Inuyasha he was going to have to get her some proper attire, after all looking like this she was sure to attract the wrong sort of male, and he would have to save her from being raped...well he didn't have to...but he would.
Suddenly he was drawn out of thought by Kagome's heart rate dropping steadily, she was losing too much blood, soon her breathing turned shallow and her skin cold. He couldn't think. She was in his care now, and he Sesshomaru couldn't let her just die while he was supposed to be saving her.
Wait, he thought, why do I Sesshomaru care? She is nothing but a weak human, a youkai wouldn't have been so easily harmed, she is nothing but a weak human.
Because you want to save her to annoy Inuyasha!
A smile appeared on his face and he raced farther to home.
