Slowly, the girl dragged herself down the thin dirt road towards the castle. Bruised, bloodied, and beaten she fell to the ground in front of the gates gasping for air. She laid on her back, the warmth evading her body just as her blood was. A pool of blood now surrounded her; she was going to die. With the last ounce of strength she had she held her hand up, trying to take hold of what little life she had left, but she was fading. As the darkness began to consume her she saw someone looking down at her. She could not see his face for her vision was too far gone, the only thing she noticed was his long, silver hair. It was the last thing she saw before everything went black.

"But lord Sesshomaru," a high pitched voice complained. "Why don't we just let her die, she's just a human after all."

The dog demon lord, Sesshomaru, looked down at the green imp in annoyance. "Do not question me Jaken," he spoke harshly.

Jaken took a few steps back in fear. "Oh no Lord Sesshomaru, I didn't mean to question you, but what's one human life? You are not one to have such sympathy for them."

Suddenly, a rock flew through the air and landed straight on Jaken's head. He fell to the ground dramatically as he cried out.

"Leave me," Sesshomaru growled as he continued down the path of the castle gardens.

In truth Sesshomaru did not know why he had saved the dying girl that had collapsed in front of the castle. He had just been returning from the front lines of the war he was currently in with the South when he found her in a pool of her own blood. He smelt her from a mile away. He looked down at her in curiosity, the closest human village was miles away.

He watched as the life slowly began to fade from her eyes. Swiftly he raised his clawed hand, wanting to end the pitiful creature's life quickly, but something had stopped him. Slowly, he lowered his hand again, and bent down next to her. He could tell she was going to die, and very soon. For reasons unknown to him he picked her up, and brought her onto the castle grounds, commanding his servants to tend to her wounds and do whatever necessary to save her.

He questioned himself and his actions as he exited the garden, and made his way inside. Sesshomaru walked quietly to the room that the human girl was being treated in, and gently opened the door. An older woman was looking over the girl.

"She's going to die," the old woman's shaky voice spoke. "She has lost too much blood."

Sesshomaru watched as the old woman struggled to get up. Once she regained her composure she turned to Sesshomaru. Her eyes were the color of the night sky, her ears were pointed just as his was, and sharp fangs hung out of her mouth. Sesshomaru simply nodded once, and then watched as the old woman left the room.

Now alone with the human girl, Sesshomaru looked down at her, listening to her shallow breathing. She had a pained expression on her face as she panted. As he watched he wondered why such a useless and frail creature existed, they were born to die. Even though he felt this way he still felt compelled to save her.

Sesshomaru kneeled down beside her. He knew what he had to do to in order to spare her life, but he didn't know what the consequences of his actions would be. Putting that aside he swiftly bit into his hand, blood beginning to run out of the puncture wounds. He quickly sucked the blood from his hand and held it in his mouth. After getting a sufficient amount of blood in his mouth he bent down and placed his lips upon the dying girls.

Sesshomaru parted her lips, and forced the blood out of his mouth and into hers. After getting all of the blood out of his mouth he broke away from her. He watched as she swallowed the blood that now resided in her mouth, a small amount running down her chin. Sesshomaru wiped it away with his hand, and then stood and left the room.
