Healing Sesshy

A little youkai (demon) child, around the age of 9, was walking through the forest, away from his kingdom. That youkai child, is Prince Sesshoumaru of the West. His face had no emotion, for he had lost his mother at a young age. Suddenly, he felt powerful auras in the area. He took out Tokijin and got in a fighting stance. Demons, lizard ones, came out of nowhere.

"Hey look, the 'Prince of the West,"one said.

"He thinks he can beat us with that puny sword! That's rich," the other one said.

The 2 lizard youkais took out their swords and charged at Sesshoumaru. The battle was ferocious. One of them, stabbed Sesshoumaru in the arm. His blood splurted out.

"Ah!!!"

Luckily, Sesshoumaru managed to lop off the youkai's head, in 1 swipe. The other lizard youkai came at full speed and stabbed Sesshoumaru in the stomach. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. Finally, the youkai pulled the sword out of Sesshoumaru, letting him fall to the ground. When the youkai turned his head, Sesshoumaru blasted Tokijin's power through his heart. He desinigrated. Finally, Sesshoumaru relaxed but tensed up when he smelt the scent of vanilla and sakura blossoms. He also felt a powerful aura coming from a human.

'She must be a priestess…'

"Show yourself ningen!"

A little girl came from behind a tree.

"Name yourself," said Sesshoumaru, unemotionally.

The girl said, gently,

"My name is Kagome Higurashi. I'm a priestess in training at my village."

"State your business here."

"I saw the fight, Prince Sesshoumaru. You are injured, my lord. I only wish to help you."

Sesshoumaru growled at her. Kagome came closer, which made him growl more.

"I just want to help."

Kagome took out a cloth with herbs on them. She took off his shirt and put the cloth on his wound.

-30 minutes later-

Kagome had bandaged all of Sesshoumaru's wounds.

"Why did you heal me? Surely, your kind kills demons?"

Kagome smiled.

"Even though they do kill demons, I don't. Unless I'm threatened. Everyone deserves a chance. Even you Lord Sesshoumaru."

For the first time in 5 years, Sesshoumaru smiled. It was small, but it was a smile. Kagome have him a fruit and they started eating. After that, Sesshoumaru was healed. It was getting dark, and Kagome knew she had to go home. When Kagome tried to leave, Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm.

"Can I see you again?"

Kagome heard her mother and sister shouting for her.

"Kagome!"

"I don't know, I really have to go…"

"Please? I really enjoyed your company today."

"Kagome," yelled Kagome's mother, Kaori.

Kagome sighed.

"Okay, I'll come back."

"Thank you."

Kagome kissed Sesshoumaru on the cheek and ran off. Sesshoumaru stood there, frozen. Finally, he came to his senses and went back to his castle.

'Mother…I think I might be finding love. Please…guide me into her heart.'

Kagome got to where her mother and sister were.

"Kagome! Where have you been?! I've been worried sick!"

"I'm sorry mother. I lost track of time and-"

"Kagome…I don't want to bear any of your stupid excuses! Now let's go."

"But mother, all I-"

Kagome's mother said, impatiently,

"I said, I didn't want to hear any more excuses! You know what?

Don't even talk at all!"

"But I was trying to-"

"I said don't say a word," screeched Kagome's mother, as she slapped Kagome, hard!

"Now let's go."

Kagome held the cheek that had been slapped. Tears surfaced on her eyelids.

Kikyo, Kagome's older sister, said,

"Serves you right for making us looking for you so long, and talking back to mother."

'Sesshoumaru…'

"Kagome…"

Kagome didn't hear her best-friend, Sango.

"Kagome!"

Kagome's head shot up.

"Yes Sango?"

"Where were you? I was so worried that you were killed by a demon. You know you can't go in the forest by yourself. Your powers haven't kicked in yet."

"I'm sorry Sango. I didn't mean to frighten you."

Sango hugged Kagome.

"Just don't do that again, okay?"

Kagome smiled.

"I promised…Bye…"

"…Bye…"

Kagome walked into her hut.

Kaori said,

"Kagome…I'm sorry…I didn't mean to slap you. It's just…your only 7 and you don't have your powers yet. Though your aura is very powerful. In the prophecy, you were to be the one who stops all the evil in the land with companions. You can't die."

"I'm sorry mother. But, I'll be fine. I'll even practice my archery in the forest until I achieve my powers."

Kaori sighed.

"Just stay away from danger and away form any demons."

Kagome crossed her fingers behind her back.

"Yes mother."

Kagome walked to her room.

"I'm sorry mother," whispered Kagome to herself.

"I promised him…"

Kagome, then, went fast asleep.

Sesshoumaru was having a dream. (A/N: for the first time.)

-Dream/ P.O.V.-

I was walking through the forest, when I heard a beautiful voice. I masked my scent. Soon, I saw a beautiful maiden come, prancing about. She suddenly stopped and smiled.

"You can come out now Sesshoumaru. I know you're there. I can feel your aura."

How did she know my name? I stepped from behind the tree and asked sternly,

"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

She only laughed. What was there to laugh about?

"Why are you laughing girl?"

She only laughed harder.

"Sesshoumaru…w-why a-are you acting like this?"

She stopped laughing.

"Do I know you?"

"Sesshoumaru, it's me Kagome."

"Sesshoumaru, are you okay," asked a voice.

I turned around and saw my father.

"Father…Kagome…what are you doing here?"

"This is your dream, Sesshy. Please wake up."

I was confused.

"Why do I have to wake up…"

"Wake up…wake up…WAKE UP!"

-End of Dream/P.O.V-

Sesshoumaru got up in an instant. Izayoi was standing above him.

"What wench?!"

Izayoi slapped Sesshoumaru, hard!

"Don't you talk to your superiors like that!"

"You're one to talk," mumbled Sesshoumaru under his breath.

However, Izayoi heard his comment but chose to isolate it.

"Where were you he whole day?!"

"None of your business wench!"

Izayoi was close to slapping him again, but he caught her hand, just in time.

"Don't hit me again," said Sesshoumaru dangerously, his eyes turning red.

Izayoi smirked.

"You wouldn't hit a pregnant woman would you? I'm certain your father would love to hear that. Especially when that pregnant woman is his own mate."

Sesshoumaru let go of her hand and said,

"Just leave and don't come back to my room."

Izayoi left.

'Kagome…'

Sesshoumaru fell back into a dreamless sleep.
