Last Chapter Recap:
Inuyasha just finished betraying Kagome and along with Kikyo he managed to kill Kagome. She died, thinking about Inuyasha. At the end of the chapter, Sesshomaru came across Kagome's lifeless body and decided to revive her.
Saving
Sesshomaru grunted from the rain, his body was getting wet, he utterly despised the thought of carrying a mortal. It was different with Rin, but his half brother's miko should not be someone he needed to take care of. But one thing did stand out to him, why was she alone, with Inuyasha nowhere in sight, no scent of him either, except from the wounds on her body? It didn't add up.
"Hn." He picked Kagome up flinging her over his shoulder as he floated into the sky, his muscles showing through his wet clothing. He swore he heard her mumble something but couldn't quite understand it.
By the time he reached his castle it was dark out and he was completely soaked in water. He was glad that the rain had taken some of the scent off of the Miko's body, he found the scent of her filthiness repulsive.
His servants were ready at the door when he walked in, shocked that their Lord had brought in a human woman. "Fetch Yukino and have her take the Miko to the hot springs where she can be washed and then changed into a kimono. Have Yuna prepare the guest bedroom for the Miko." Sesshomaru demanded coldly, before handing the Miko to one of the youkai. He walked off towards his chambers where he had a hot springs connected.
He removed his yukata and stepped into the water, it felt beautiful on his skin and relaxed him to the core.
By now Yukino had carried Kagome to the main hot springs and began cleaning both the mud, dirt and blood from her hair and skin. She used the honey and strawberry mixed herbal mix that somehow worked for cleaning the hair and body that Sesshomaru had always had bought for Rin.
It didn't take long before she had Kagome all clean looking and smelling like a flower. She dressed Kagome in a white kimono that had the similar red markings as Sesshomaru's kimono did and the Western Land's crescent moon on the back of the kimono. She carried her to the guest room and placed her in the bed underneath the blankets.
Sesshomaru barged into the room speaking loudly "She's clean?" He questioned.
Yukino nodded, "Mi lord, if I might suggest, being loud might wake the girl up."
Sesshomaru scoffed, "She wakes, she wakes. You can leave now." Yukino nodded before bowing and leaving the room in a haste.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at her face. How could Inuyasha let the miko die, he had always seemed so protective of her. Not only was he nowhere to be found, but her wounds had the smell of him on them. His eyes widened, did this mean that Inuyasha had killed her?
He acted unconsciously by moving a strand of her hair out of her face. "What am I doing?" He grumbled, though he couldn't help but notice that she was beautiful, it was just then that he noticed a strand of silver in her hair. It wasn't a mistake, now that she was clean, he could smell the scent of a female youkai on her. It was so like the Kami to do something like this. He had brought her back to life after dying, the girls soul may very well have gone to that other Miko already. In order for him to revive her, she had to be brought back as youkai.
He waited at the side of the bed all night, not sleeping, just staring at her face and inhaling her smell. Still she had not woken up.
He left the room when the sun had begun to rise, it was time for him to do his daily rounds, but first he would dine in the hall with Rin for breakfast.
He made his way to the dining hall, sitting down at the long table. "Jaken!" He called for his henchman.
"Yes Mi Lord?" Jaken came running into the room.
"Fetch Rin, tell her it's time for breakfast, and that there's a guest she can visit later on."
"Yes Mi Lord!" Jaken ran off, grabbing Rin from her room.
"Sesshomaru! Today I plan to make a flower crown for this guest of ours!" Sesshomaru smiled, he actually smiled.
He left for his rounds and didn't plan to make it back until later on in the evening, he had decided to see his younger half brother.
