Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own any of the characters. Although I
wish I owned Sesshomaru! Damn. Some things never go my way.
Author's note: Hello you morbid people out there! This is my first shot at a tragedy/drama/romance, so if you do flame, please go easy! Sesshomaru might be a little out of character, so if you don't like it, sorry. Now, on with the story!
Prologue
The white haired demon looked down at the sleeping girl. She seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Her wounds had, also, started to heal as well.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
He turned. His somewhat-adopted daughter, Rin, was standing in the doorway.
"Yes Rin?"
"Is she going to be okay?"
Sesshomaru looked at the sleeping girl again. Her hair had fallen in her face. He pushed it away and turned back to Rin.
"I don't know Rin," he answered. "We can only hope she'll awaken soon. Please watch her for me."
"Yes, sir."
Sesshomaru left the room. He walked out of his home and into the forest nearby. His servant, Jaken, had started to follow, but the demon raised his hand to stop him. Pouting, Jaken stayed where he was.
As Sesshomaru walked, his mind began to wander. The girl's injuries had been very grave. What had happened to her to put her in that condition, and who had done it?
*Flashback*
Sesshomaru walked along the forest, as he always did, at night. It was
strangely silent out. Silent as death, and it made him feel uneasy.
Suddenly, he heard a groan of pain. Quickly, he turned around and saw a
girl clutching her side. Her hands were covered in blood, and some more
was slowly sliding down the rest of her body. There was also a deep gash
in her chest. The rest of her was cuts and bruises.
"H-help me."
He recognized her. She was a friend of his half-demon, half-brother,
Inuyasha. Had he finally come to his senses and got rid of his human
friends? Or had something else happened to him? He could only wonder as
he watched the girl stagger towards him.
"P-please Sesshomaru." She begged. "Help..."
She fainted before she could finish her sentence. Sesshomaru caught her
in his arms as she fell. He could feel the blood seeping through his
clothing.
"Inuyasha couldn't have done this to her," he thought. "He's not strong
enough to make these wounds. What has happened to him?"
Quickly, he scooped the girl up in his arms and carried her to his home.
Carefully, he tended to every single wound she had on her body. He washed
away the dried blood, and he bandaged her up.
She opened her eyes. Sesshomaru looked at her, a little surprised. A far
away look was in her eyes.
"Inuyasha?"
She'd mistaken him for his brother. Tears started to form in her eyes,
and they soon ran down her cheeks.
"Inuyasha!" she cried. "Inuyasha! Why?"
She'd mumbled something more, but Sesshomaru didn't understand what she
said. Without thinking, he put his arms around the girl. He didn't know
why, but he did. He smoothed her hair and shushed her softly.
"It's all right," he whispered. "Rest now. You need to sleep."
He filled a small glass of water and held it to her lips. Once she had
drunk her fill, she fell asleep. He covered her shivering form.
"When you awaken," he said, "you must tell me what's happened."

"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!"
Rin had found Sesshomaru and was running towards him. From the look on
her face, he could tell she was excited.
"What is it Rin?"
"It's the girl!" she said excitedly. "She's woken up! She's woken up!"
Without another word, the two of them went back home and to the girl's
room. She was sitting up, looking around the room. She was startled when
the pair walked in.
"I see you're awake," Sesshomaru said.
She nodded then looked at them, confused. She looked at her bandages.
"Did you do this to me?"
The demon nodded.
"Thank you."
He was surprised that someone would thank him for his kindness, and he
nodded to acknowledge her. He knew he needed to ask her of Inuyasha, but
he wasn't sure if he should. So he started with the basics.
"Your name is Kagome," he said, "am I correct?"
"Yes."
He looked at Rin. If something horrible happened to his brother, he
didn't want her to hear.
"Rin, have you finished all of your chores today?"
"Not all of them."
"Will you finish them?"
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru."
Rin quietly left the room. Once she closed the door, Sesshomaru walked to
Kagome's bed and sat beside it. Kagome stared at him.
"Now, I know this might be hard for you, but I want you to tell me what
happened."
"What do you mean?"
"What happened to my brother? Where is Inuyasha?"
"Inuyasha..."
Her voice trailed off, and she looked away from the demon. Instead, she
looked ahead of her. A single tear rolled down her cheek, and then she
broke down and cried. Sesshomaru, not knowing why he was doing this, put
his arms around Kagome for comfort. He wiped her tears. Kagome looked up
at him, confused at his kindness.
"You're not ready to say, are you? I'll come back when you're ready."
"No!" Kagome cried. "Don't leave me alone!"
Kagome reached out and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand. They stared at their
entwined hands for a bit. Then they looked into each other's eyes.
"I'll tell you what happened to them. I really will. I'll do anything to
make you stay with me."
"All right. Have it your way. Tell me everything."
Kagome took a deep breath and began her story.
How was that? Was it good for my first try? Or did it flat out suck?
Please review! Pretty please? Pretty please?
