LieiHi people. This is one of my first fanfics. I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 1: Sesshomaru's Fall
Kagome had just gotten back from shopping with her friends. Four years had passed since the day she had fallen through the well. The Shikon Jewel was complete and Kagome went back to the Feudal Era only to visit Inuyasha , Sango, Miroku, Kilala, and Shippo-her adopted son. She didn't know that she would find one of her greastest enemies in The Bone Eater's Well later that night.
Meanwhile
Sesshomaru dodged a huge demon's attacks. He had been attack hours ago and still he could not kill this huge beast or the demon's tiny friends that tore at his flesh. They attack with poisoned claws and sharp fangs. Blood streamed from his wounds. The amount of blood he had lost was staggering. Anyone would say that he should be dead already.
'If this last any longer they will kill me.' The Taiyoukai thought.
The demon's pressed him farther into Inuyasha's territory.
'Inuyasha.' Sesshomaru thought disdainfully.
Sesshomaru tried to take in his surroundings as they pressed him farther into Inuyasha's territory. He was able to find the tree that Inuyasha had been pinned to. The demons pressed him into the clearing where the Bone Eater's Well was. Sesshomaru tripped over something in his path and fell backwards into the well as darkness closed in on him. Purple light flashed and the Taiyoukai disappeared. The demons hissed in irratation. Their prey had gotten away.
Back in Kagome's Era
Kagome felt something nagging at the back of her mind. She pushed it away. It was just her over active imagination. Even though she tried to reasure herself, it didn't work. Kagome went to the well.
'Mom, Souta, and Grampa are all out of town. I'm alone, but I have got my arrows.' she thought.
She reached the well house and went in. She looked down into the well, turning on her flashlight. What she saw made her gasp.
It was Sesshomaru. He lay torn and bleeding at the bottom of the well. His once white clothes were soaked with his blood. His tail and silver-white hair were tinted red by his blood as well.
Kagome looked at the horrible sight below her as a sob rose in her throat, threatening to choke her. Kagome climbed down into the well and knelt in the little amount of space that she had. She smoothed Sesshomaru's bangs as she tried to see how badly he had been beaten.
'Poor Sesshomaru.' Kagome thought.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes at her touch. By her scent the girl was obviously upset by what she saw.
"Sesshomaru? Are you awake?"
Her musical shoothed his raw nerves some what.
"Yes." That was all he could manage to say for the moment.
"I'm going to try to help you get out of my well. Do you think you can help me?" Kagome asked.
The Taiyoukai nodded. She helped him stand.
"We are going up a ladder, Sesshomaru, so you're going to have to watch your step."
Kagome helped Sesshomaru as they walked the long way back to her house. Sesshomaru fell to his knees a few times on the way to the house. The moment they reached the house he fell to his knees, panting.
"Your doing great, Sesshomaru. Just a little more and you can rest on my bed."
Kagome helped Sesshomaru to his feet and up the stairs. Kagome opened her door and helped him to her bed. The moment Sesshomaru's head hit the pillow he was out cold.
"Jeesh, your heavy, Sesshomaru."Kagome said out loud.
The Taiyoukai remained asleep.
"I wonder what happened. He must of picked a fight with the wrong demons."
Kagome started to removing Sesshoaru's armor.
'He looks so peaceful. Why does he have to look so cute even with all those markings?' She thought , a blush covering her checks.
Kagome tugged at the armor and it came off easily.
'What about his clothes?' she thought.
Luckily his clothes were not cling to his wounds. She was able to remove both his haori and undershirt.
Kagome winced at the sight of his wounds. Sesshomaru's chest was a mess. Wounds covered his chest. The wounds were raw and bleeding.
Kagome finish removing his clothes as fast as she could. She didn't want him to wake up.
When she finished her task, Kagome grabbed the rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. She tipped the container and wet a cotton ball. Closing her eyes in silent prayer Kagome pressed it against one of wounds. Sesshomaru's eyes snnpped open and his breath hissed.
Kagome winced as Sesshomaru's claws flashed out, she backed up so she wouldn't feel the sharp sting of them in her skin. Also knowing that she would be poisoned if they pricked her.
Sesshomaru woke up to the worst pain he had ever known. The cold fire that was being placed on his wound was unbearable. None of the ointments used on him in the past had ever caused this much torture.
"What are you doing?" He growled at the wench who was treating his wounds.
"I was cleaning your wounds."
"With cold liquid fire?"
One elegant white brow disappeared under his bangs.
"It helps." Kagome muttered.
Sesshomaru snorted with disbelief, Kagome bristled with irratation.
She spoke angrily, "Don't make me me put this near you. If it is strong enough to knock Inuyasha out, I think it will do the same to you."
Sesshomaru gave her a level stare and then he noticed chilly air against his skin. He looked at the girl, but she looked away, red staining her cheeks.
"Where are my clothes?' he asked. Shocked that she was able to remove his clothes without him waking.
"Over there." she said as she pointed to the bloody heap in the corner of her room on the floor.
"I was going to wash them as soon as I tended to your wounds. If they get infected you really will be in trouble. How will I explain you to a doctor if you get too sick for me to take care of."
Sesshomaru (who had tried to sit up and failed miserably) waved his clawes hand at her.
"Enough of your prattle. Just finish tending to my wounds, woman."
"Fine. Hold still, this is going to hurt."
She pressed the cotton ball against his same wound she was trying to clean before he awoke. Sesshomaru's muscles jumped beneath her hand, but he said nothing. His face was a cold emotionless mask. As she continued cleaning his wounds, he mulled over his being suddenly attacked.
Kagome noticed a wound that was worst than the others. She put a wash cloth into a bowl of hot water, preparing to use it on it. Sesshomaru was jerked painfully from his thoughts when she pressed the the cloth against the wound.
Sesshomaru growled, the sound surprising him into silence. He, Sesshomaru, did not growl like a lowly demon.
"Sorry. You had dirt in the wound that I'm cleaning."
Kagome kept her eyes on the area she was treating at the moment. She could feel his gaze on her. He remained silent as he watched her at her task. The only sound that he could hear was their breathing and the ticking of the clock.
Kagome suddenly grabbed some packages of bandages, showing them to Sesshomaru as she ripped them open. Placing them on her nightstand for the time being.
"Some of these wounds need stitching up." Kagome stated.
Sesshomaru nodded, sharply saying, "Get on with it, wench."
Bristling at his harsh words and growling like Inuyasha, she yanked a length of thread through the eye of a needle.
Kagome snapped angrily, "Inuyasha called me wench one too many times, finding his face in the dirt more often than not. My advice to you is not to use that word around me. I have rubbing alcohol, I may just send you to la-la land with it! Got that, Mr. High and Mighty."
Frustrated, she stabbed the needle into his skin. Sesshomaru gave an undemon like yelp and glared at the woman who had stabbed him with the small, sharp implement.
Kagome stared hard at his chest, regretting saving the Taiyoukai's life. She ran the needle through his skin again, causing Sesshomaru to yelp once more.
Thinking to herself, 'Ooooh, men make me so angry! This one included! Their arrogance knows no bounds. They're obnoxious, self-centered, stubborn, and down right ignorant when it comes to a woman's feelings.'
Sesshomaru pulled Kagome from her thoughts by shaking her shoulder.
"What!", she snapped.
"Do you think I want to suffer more injuries than I have already aquired, woman?", he grounded out between clenched teeth.
Kagome glared at the injured Taiyoukai.
"Well excuse me. You won't stay still long enough to put stitches in, so I get one in when I can."
"Give me that needle, woman. Now!"
Kagome gave him a go to blazes look and pulled out the rubbing alcohol. She took the lid off and he felt as if he had been hit by an invisible wall that stank. Light flashed behind his eyes as his senses whirled. Darkness closed in on him for the third time that day.
'Why me?' Sesshomaru thought, 'Is this some never ending cycle?'
"Yikes! Boy didn't expect him to be out so fast. I guess being full blood youkai has its quirks. Well at least I can finish with out him sniping at me all the time. Woman do this. Wench do that. Human get out of my way. That is all I heard from Inuyasha, now it's begining again." Kagome sighed at her misfortune.
The youkai on her bed shifted and Kagome rubbed at some old scars. Those scars always reminded her that she sould never trust a wild animal.
'And Sesshomaru might as well be a wild animal. He is a Taiyoukai, stubborn, and probaly not a morning person. Great! What do I do now that he is in my bed? I know I'll stay in Mom's room. She won't mind. It is an emergency. Sesshomaru might be out for a while so after I finish mending his wounds I'll try to get the house cleaner.'
Kagome continued to stitch his wounds, humming she surveyed each stitch before moving to the next one.
'This is much better. It's so silent, no complaining demons or half-demons to pester me as I work.' she thought.
She finished with the wounds on his chest and then began workin on the rest of his numerous wounds on other parts of his body.
"I'm going to be here for hours!" Kagome groaned.
1 Hour Later
"Done! Finally!" Kagome said happily.
She stretched as she stood up. Kagome walked over to the corner that Sesshomaru's clothes were in. Picking them up she looked at the sleeping youkai. For some reason she some what regretted her harsh word.
"Kagome get a hold of yourself. Why feel sorry for a guy who calls you a wench? Kripes I must be going crazy!"
Kagome mused over her sudden insanity. She concluded it must of started when she met Inuyasha. Walking down the hall she picked up any extra clothes she saw. Going to the basement she flipped the light switch and place white clothes and Sesshomaru's in the wash machine. After putting in the soap and turning on the the wash machine she went into the kitchen to make herself something to eat. Taking out a package of instant ramen she put a pot of water onthe stove and waited for it to boil.
"I'm so tired. Not only am I tired I have to go shopping for food tomorrow, now how do you explain that to a youkai from the past?"
The water started to boil and she opened the package of ramen and dumped it in the pot. She sat down again to wait 10 minutues.
'What to do now? I'm done with washing. Dishes don't need to be done until later. I know! I haven't swept the floor yet.' she thought.
Meanwhile
"Inuyasha what's wrong?" Sango asked.
"Sesshomaru has been here. By the smell of it he lost alot of blood. What kind of demon could get the better of him?" Inuyasha sounded worried.
"Inuyasha there are blood stains over here by the well as well as in it." Miroku stated.
"Damn. You think he got through?"
"Inuyasha I think he did." Shippo sounded scared. "There is no blood at the bottom!"
"SHIT!!!"
Inuyasha jumped into the well and purple light engulfed him.
"Well there he goes again with that complusive ego of his." Miroku said.
"I know. Sometimes Inuyasha is such a jerk." Shippo said folding his arm in front of his chest.
Shippo was 14 now and had long since stopped knawing on Inuyasha's ears. He had become a more serious young youkai.
"Shippo sometimes your logic scares me, but just because you are so true. It amazes me how fast you are growing up. It seems like yesterday you were knawing on Inuyasha's ears and now your this serious young youkai who can't even believe that you use to bite him." Sango said softly.
"I know. It is strange. Children grow up to fast." Miroku said.
Shippo sighed. "I wonder why life goes by so fast. It seems so quick."
Kiade had heard the last part of the conversation. "Aye child, life does go by quickly. Do not waste it. For humans we must get as much done in our short lives as possible or we never get anything done."
"Kiade are you afraid of dying?" Shippo asked.
"No child. I have live longer than most humans. Many die at early ages. Either sickness, demons, or cruel masters." Kiade answered.
Inuyasha found himself in the dark well house. Blood lay on the bottom of the well.
'Sesshomaru's blood alright. Kagome must of found him.'
Inuyasha jumped from the well and ran out of the well house. He found a tree close to Kagome's open window, and jumped through the window. Sesshomaru lay on Kagome's bed, out cold.
"Ow." Inuyasha said when he saw how many bandages were on his body.
Sesshomaru looked as if he had been attacked by Naraku, but Naraku was dead so he didn't do it.
'Someone must want him dead really bad. To have done this much damage to Sesshomaru you'd have to be stronger than him. I don't know anyone that strong.' Inuyasha thought.
Sesshomaru's eyes opened and focused on Inuyasha. He did something Inuyasha had never heard him do, he growled.
"Wow. Whoever did this did a real number on you."
Sesshomaru's eyes cleared. "Inuyasha... What are you doing here?"
"I came to check on Kagome. What happened? You look like you tangled with a really big cat."
"I was attacked by a demon and his small, but extremely fast friends. Where is the woman who tended my wounds? I have to find out what kind of medicine she used on me to knock me out."
"Kagome? No clue where she is, but I know what she used on you. Rubbing alcohol. It'll knock a demon out faster than I can say your name."
"Really."
"You must of pissed her off. She only uses it if she needs to though. I'll go down stairs and see if I can find her.'
Inuyasha jumped from the stair case and on to the floor. He checked the kitchen first.
"Nope not here."
He went into the living room and sure enough there she was. Kagome lay sleeping on the couch. On the coffee table was a bowl of unfinished Ramen.
"Doesn't she know it ain't healthly to leave food lying around." Inuyasha said as he picked up the bowl and carried it into the kitchen.
He dumped the rest of the Ramen into the trash can and then placed the bowl in the sink. He went back into the living room and picked Kagome up. She looked peaceful as she slept, but Inuyasha knew that wouldn't very long with Sesshomaru around. He carried her up the stairs and into her room.
" Hey, Sesshomaru, Kagome is out like a light. I'm going to put her in her mother's room for now. Jeesh I swear she had to have gained some weight! She is heavy."
"She is asleep you dolt. What do you expect? Her to be as light as a feather?" Sesshomaru said haughtingly.
"No need to get your tail in a knot, Sesshomaru. Well off we go Kag."
The girl had fallen asleep. That was just great. He needed to know how he had gotten here, why he was there, and most important of all, why she was helping him even after he had said those cruel words to her.
Well thats the end of that chapter. I hoped you liked it. I tried not to misspell any words but if I did let me know, I hate misspelled words. Well maybe not all the time like when I make fun of Kuwabara.
Bye!
