Chapter 1 The Darkening Dawn
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"What is it?" The lord looked over at his timid servant , an envelope clutched in her hand.
"A letter for you, sir".
He nodded as she set it on his desk and left quickly. He picked it up and tour it open, its scent held of his old friend. "Pharo", he murmured as he read the parchment paper. The letter said that Pharo needed to discuss some matters concerning Vampservessa , vampire land, and if he knew of a strong miko or houshi to bring them as well. 'We will definitely need its help'. He read on as the letter came to say that Pharo would meet him in the Bloody Forest the next day when the moon rises to its highest peek. The reason Pharo could not come right now was that something important had come up.
Sesshomaru laid the letter back on his old oak desk, sighing and rubbing his temples to avoid the on coming headache. He knew that whatever was keeping Pharo must be extremely important or he would be here himself. Still he was curios of what was happening in his friend's homeland. He had not visited Vampservessa since Pharo had destroyed its former ruler; the vampire prince was not one to ask for help. He is as proud as the demon lord himself, and just as strong. Sesshomaru's thoughts turned to the request for a strong miko; he sighed deeply and closed his eyes. The only miko he knew of was Inuyasha's wench, Kagome. Sesshomaru stood from his desk and walked out of his study. "Jaken!" He called out down the hall and out of one of the many doors that deck the hall, came a green , looking toad.
"Yes milord?"
"I will be gone for awhile make sure Rin is properly taken care of or you will be paying with your life." Jaken trembled in fear of his lord.
"Yes milord she will be well taken care of, don't worry." Sesshomaru nodded his head and walked down the halls to the main entrance; he left the castle in search of the miko, Kagome.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rain was falling so hard you could hear the drops hit the ground. The lighting crackled across the sky, thunder bellowed in the background. The dark skies loomed over the forest, casting dark shadows through out it. Kagome ran as fast as she could through the gloomy forest. The blackened trees tore at her aching body, tearing small cuts on her flesh. She kept running until her legs became numb; she tumbled to the ground below a very large tree. "Why Inuyasha why?", she cried to herself. Begging any unknown force to answer her question; but nothing was revealed to her. She searched for the knife that Inuyasha made her carry around just in case her bow broke. She pulled it out of its holster and just stared at it. "Why did you choose her, you could've had me"? All she could think about was what he did, how he held her, looked into her eyes and said those three words that she had longed to hear ' I love you' . But that's not why she cries, its what he did afterward. He made love to kikyo, he was oblivious to her presence, kagome watched in pain as he took the undead bitch as his mate. Her thoughts blinded her towards her surroundings; she never noticed the golden eyes watching her; pondering over what she planned on doing . Kagome twisted the blade in her hand watching the rain drops slide down and off the edges. "Where did I go wrong, why did you choose her over me, I can't understand, am I that undesirable were you would pick a corpse over me"? Kagome shook her head, "look at what I have become how could I be that selfish she had you before I even met you, you both loved each other so much how could I even think about taking that away". Kagome's eyes were puffy and red from crying, her clothes were ripped, her legs shaky and cut up, her hair hanging sloppily over her shoulders, and her arms tattered from the trees abuse. Through everything she still held the blade firmly in her hands still staring at it, her eyes almost looked like she was begging the knife a chance at relief. She looked one more time at the blade and then slammed it down on her wrist and then the other. She cried out in pain as the crimson colored blood drop out of her freshly cut wounds. The knife slowly slipped out of her hand to land softly on the ground, covered in blood. The last thing she saw before she slipped into darkness was a silver flash coming at her. Then she collapsed to the ground, her blood in a puddle underneath her.
Sesshomaru was watching kagome the whole time, pondering on what he should do. She was talking to herself but he couldn't quite understand what she was saying. Then he saw her take out a knife of decent size, he didn't know what she intended to do with it but by the looks of her state it couldn't be anything good. From his most resent encounter with this girl he learned that she had a very strong spirit but now it looks as if she never had one at all. The more he thought about the girl the more he became aggravated, he came to kidnap her and then head back to his castle, but now something about how she was looking at that knife made him worry on what she was going to do and he was hoping it wasn't going to be anything extreme but he was wrong. The last thing he knew was when she slammed that blade down on her wrists and fell to the ground; he rushed out of the trees as fast as he could. He raced to her side and knelt down , getting his white wardrobe covered in her blood. He ripped pieces of his sleeve off, wrapping them around her wrists. He knew his make shift bandages wouldn't last that long so he had to think quick. His castle was to far away for him to just pick her up and carry her there. Sesshomaru sighed to himself, the only option he had left was to go to his brother's group. They were only about a mile and a half away so if he flew he would get there in less then two minutes. So he picked her up and jumped up into the stormy skies towards his brother's group. About a minute and a half later he landed right next to the clearing his brother was sitting in. He noticed that the fire was still burning high and his brother's group was still wake. He saw Inuyasha look up in his direction and stood, "what do you want here and why do you smell of kagome's blood?" Sesshomaru step out from behind the trees and to everyone's surprise and horror, they saw kagome held in his one arm, drenched in her own blood.
"You bastard, what did you do to her"!
"I did nothing you fool, her wounds are self inflicted".
Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha with a look of anger apparent in his eyes. "I did not hear fully what she said but what I could make out was she was talking about you choosing a undead bitch over her". Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock 'did she actually do this to herself and was it because she saw me and kikyo together' he thought to himself. Sesshomaru had enough of inuyasha's blank look so he looked towards the taijya, "Taijya, kagome is bleeding profoundly and won't stop we need to clot the blood that is leaking out of her wounds." Sango nodded her head and told him to lay her down by the fire. Sango grabbed the yellow bag that kagome usually carries around with her and opened it up. She dug through it searching for the first aid kit that kagome packed in it. Sango finally found it and pulled it out of the bag and opened it, she saw bandages, tape, scissors, pain killers, and good luck charms. The only way she knew how to close a wound so deep was to take salt and pour it over the wounds and then sew it shut with horse hair. So sango dug around the bag some more and she fount a little bottle of salt; she pulled it out along with kagome's sewing kit. Now she was missing one more item, horse hair. Sango looked up at sesshomru and an ideal came to her, "Lord Sesshomaru, can I have two strands of your hair?" Sesshomaru looked at her confused but then decided against questioning the human so he grabbed a lock of his hair and pulled out two long silver strands. He handed them to sango and she thread one into a thin needle the other one she laid down in her lap. Sesshomaru knelt down next to her, "what do you plan on doing with my hair?"
Sango finished tying a knot in the strand he gave her then she answered, "I'm going to clot the blood by putting salt on it then I'm going to sew the wound together with your hair." Sesshomaru nodded his head and then looked at kagome, she needed to be cleaned and get new garments before she gets a fever. Sesshomaru mentally shook himself 'why should I care about this young miko, she is only human yet she intrigues me so'.
"Lord Sesshomaru, can you hold her in your lap just in case she wakes up and starts to struggle". Sesshomaru nodded and slid his hand under her shoulders and angled her enough for him to slide her onto his lap. Inuyasha looked like he was about to argue but a heated glare from sango shutted him up very quickly. Miroku just sat in silent pray for his wounded friend. Sango sat in front of sesshomaru and took kagome's arm and sprinkled some salt onto her wound, her wound actually stopped bleeding. Then she took the needle with sesshomaru's hair threaded through it and pinched her wound together then stuck the needle through the two pieces of skin. Kagome's face scrunched up in pain but she showed no sigh of wakening up she actually calmed immediately and nuzzled closer to sesshomaru. Sango was a little bit surprised to see her friend nuzzle up to the most feared demon in the lands, what surprised her the most was that he smiled but it didn't last that long. Sango shook out of her surprised state and finished kagome's wrists. It took about five minutes for her to finish both of kagome's wrists. "OK I'm done." Sesshomaru looked down at the miko he was holding in his arms, she was so pale and her breath came in short gasps, even though her wounds are closed and no longer bleeding she still lost way to much blood. "Taijya, you did a splendid job on her wounds but she still lost to much blood, so I'm going to give her some of mine in return I ask that if inuyasha tries to attack me hold him back or else kagome just might die". Sango nodded, scooted back then just watched. Sesshomaru laid kagome on the ground and slid his thumb nail across the vein in his index finger the impact caused a decent sized gash to show up on his finger: he slid his bleeding finger into her mouth. Sesshomaru could feel her tongue sucking at the cut on his finger, he held back a growl of pleasure and just allowed her to feast on his blood. Inuyasha sat in the background wondering why his brother would do such a thing to save a human. Inuyasha just sat there; his mind wouldn't let him do any thing more but think about what happened and what was going to happen.
