Chapter #1…
It was getting dark outside and Kagome was now alone walking toward the well. Inu Yasha had just left once again with Kikyo. She walked on hands balled into tight fists, her bag slung over one shoulder, and tear streaks stained her face.
"I can't believe he would do this to me again," she said into the well, "and to think, I fell in love with that Jerk!" Just then she heard rustling sounds coming from a nearby clump of bushes. Kagome stepped forward a few steps, "Inu Yasha?" she whispered…the noises ceased, but when she turned to go back to the well she was surrounded by a pack of wolves, growling, baring their razor sharp fangs ready to attack.
Kagome stood frozen unable to move. What seemed like the biggest one of the pack, obviously the leader let out a howl, at that moment they all rushed her at once. The young miko screamed in pain as the first one bit into her left shoulder, thrashing about violently, tearing skin and muscle its teeth scraping against bone. She was now on the ground trying to fight them off, but it was no use there were to many. Kagome knew that she was going to die, there was no way that she was going to escape a pack of wolves in the middle of the forest, no one was going to help her now and of course Inu Yasha wasn't going to save her this time. She has no feeling in her left arm and her right ankle was throbbing, it was most likely broken or at least sprained, slowly she was losing consciousness. The last thing she saw was a stream of golden light, almost like a whip and the wolves retreating, but it was too late for her…
Sesshomaru stood on the branch of a large oak tree hidden from view by its leaves. He waited to see if she was going to get up; he decided to take action when the smell of death reached his sensitive nose. He wasted no time, jumping gracefully to the ground and walking over to the girl that lay sprawled out on the ground. The lord of the western lands studied her for a moment thinking to himself. Sesshomaru slid his tenseiga out of its sheath and raised the sword above his head, bringing it down with one swift motion, killing the demons from the underworld that hung over her. He used his one arm to help her sit up, her eyes slowly opened, when Kagome saw the one who was holding her she wanted to yell for help, but instead she coughed up blood.. She knew she didn't have enough strength to deal with him now. Kagome fell asleep, her head coming to rest on his shoulder, staining his clothes with her blood.
The demon watched her for awhile thinking to himself how beautiful she was even when she was in this state. He shook his head dismissing that thought from his mind, after all he was a demon, who happened to hate humans and he only wanted to use her to get the Tetsaiga. Or…so he thought. He picked her up putting her over his shoulder. It was time to head back to his castle, Rin is probably worried by now and Inu Yasha's wench needs medical attention, he thought to himself. Sesshomaru sped up the pace a little.
As they neared the castle the sun began to rise above the mountains in the east. The bright light woke Kagome; she stretched and opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings which looked unfamiliar to her. "Where are we?" she asked in a weak voice, trying to sound calm even though she was scared of what was going to happen to her, she didn't want him to sense her fear. "We're in the western lands near my castle," he said in his usual deep, calm voice, "you need medical attention." Kagome shifted so that she could look at his face, she gave him a cold glare, "let me guess, you want to use me to get Inu Yasha's sword, is that right?" He smiled in amusement, "correct."
"Well…even if you did this only to get his sword I still want to thank you for saving me." Sesshomaru didn't say anything back; he couldn't believe that she was thanking him.
