chapter 2 The Only One

We're all grieving,
Lost and bleeding.

All our lives,
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader.
All your lies,
I'm not believing.
Heaven shine a light down on me.

So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized.
You know you're not the only one
Never understood this life.
And you're right, I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one

This is what I'm going to do for every chapter from now on...I'm going to use some lyrics from a song...But whatever heres another chapter... hoepfully this chapter is good and long enough...I'm very bad at long chapters...

OOooOO

I just stared at the demon lord laying unconscious at my feet. I blinked a couple of times trying to clear my head. 'Did Sesshomaru, the great lord of the west ask me for help?' I looked at Keade who stared at the unconscious demon as well.

She looked at me and gave me a serious face. "Are ye going to help him or not?" I blinked a couple of times and looked back at the great Sesshomaru. 'He's kinda cute up close..' i blushed slightly at my disturbing thought and grabbed my bow to help me up. I stared at his form and sighed.

"i guess I have no choice Keade." I said. I sat down by him and felt my eyes roam over his lean body. His exotic silver hair flowing around his form, and his tail..

I shook my head and looked over at Keade.

"Who could have done this to him? He must have been very powerful to take down Sesshomaru..." I whispered. Keade nodded and rubbed her chin.

"Ye better get out of here before it comes for ye too Kagome." she said. I nodded and grabbed his arm. 'Maybe if I can carry him to the well we will be safe in my own time.' I smiled at my plan and tried to lift him. I tugged and tugged and nothing happened. 'Should have known.' I growled and looked at Keade.

"Hey I could use some help here." I stated. She nodded and walked over to me. I watched her bend over his form and whisper words into his ears. She straightened again and looked at me.

"I put a spell on him so he is easier to carry. But it will ware off very soon. So ye should hurry to the well." I nodded and picked Sesshomaru up, and threw him over my good shoulder. 'Wow this really did work, he's as light as a feather.' I giggled slightly and started out the door.

"Kagome." I heard Keade shout behind me. I stopped and faced her.

"Ye wait and I shall give you a quiver of arrows." she walked into a room and walked out with a quiver of arrows. I gasped at the sight and smiled slightly. She walked over to me and handed them to me.

"now ye be careful. These were mine from when I was younger." she smiled at me and started back toward her hut.

"Goodbye Keade. And thank you." I shouted. I walked into the grove of trees and looked around. 'Maybe I should find Inuyasha and ask him what I should do...' I shook my head and started toward the well. 'No I don't need Inuyasha's help! I can do this myself, Sesshomaru wanted my help not his brother's.'

I walked into the little clearing where the well was and sighed. "Well at least I'm close to it, Sesshomaru's starting to get heavy again." I started humming a tune in the back of my throat, and playing with my arm bandage. I sighed and stopped when something white flashed somewhere out of the side of my eye.

I turned toward it and got in the best fighting position I could manage. I gasped and felt my breath hitch in the back of my throat when a certain form of someone appeared. 'I should have known...'

"Naraku.." I breathed. He nodded and stepped out of the shadows. And an evil laugh cut through the silent air. He pulled back his baboon hood and glared at me with an evil smirk on his face. 'Smirk now, just wait until I smack it straight off your face.' I smirked at the thought.

"Well what a smart little miko you are.." he spat. He moved forward slightly. "I'll have Sesshomaru now little miko...and as a little addition, the jewel shards." I looked into his eyes and saw nothing put hatred and pure greed. 'I won't give up on Sesshomaru that easily..and these are my jewel shards.' I grabbed tighter hold on Sesshomaru's body and glanced over to the well. 'So close.'

'I can do it, just run and jump in.' I looked at Naraku and at a rock lying on the ground, next to my feet. I picked it up and threw it as hard as I could manage, aiming for his head. He stepped aside in a swift motion and the rock landed behind his form. During the distraction I started running for the well. 'So close, almost there.' I met the side and smiled in pleasure. I jumped and felt something grab and go into my stomach.

I cried out in pain, as Sesshomaru's body flew to the ground beside the well. And as my body hung just above the well. I bite my tongue in pain as a burning sensation went through my side.

I looked at the blood dripping off of his hand and mine into the well. I moved my hand and saw a piece of silver hair in my palm. I felt a little zing of determination swell through my body. 'Don't worry Sesshomaru, I'll get you into this well, where you'll be safer. Wait why do I even care?' I looked up at Naraku who has a smirk of shear satisfaction on his face.

My head slanted down and I saw what he had done to me. His hand had been dug deep into my stomach. 'I know I'm not going to survive this...' He put me further into the air and smirked. "Silly girl." he spat. He threw me against a tree and started to whip his hand on my shirt that must have fallen out of my bag.

I growled and tried to push myself upward. Without success I fell back onto the ground with a new serge of pain. I placed my hand over the wound and closed my eyes. 'I'm going to die..'

"Running will get you no where." he spoke, venom dripping from every word he said. I opened my eyes and glared at the halfbreed. I saw my bow not to far from me and grabbed it. I took an arrow and notched it.

"Naraku..." I growled. I saw where the shards were and aimed for the spot. "You will die! And I will be the one to end your hopeless life." I shouted. I pushed all my energy into the arrow until it glowed blue.

"Hit the spot!" I shouted and let go of the arrow. It soared throw the air and connected to his chest before he had time to avoid it.

"No!.." he shouted as he started to disintegrate. When he disappeared completely I put my a bow standing up and tried to use it as a can thing. 'At least I might have a chance of getting up.' I thought.

I stood up right and immediately grabbed my side as it started to burn horribly. I dropped onto my knees and lifted my head up to where Sesshomaru's body landed. I gasped and looked around. 'Where is his body?' I started to panic than a warm hand touched my shoulder.

Just at that moment I felt nausea sicken my stomach. I covered my mouth and than set it on my side again. "Inuyasha?" I whispered. I laid my head against his legs and glanced up. "Sesshomaru?" I pushed out. He picked my up and carried me bridal style over to the well.

"Sleep miko." he whispered. I nodded. 'Don't worry, I'm not going to argue with you on that.' I thought and everything went black.

OOooOO

I turned over and moaned. I felt something soggy and sticky around me. I opened my eyes slightly and looked around. It was dark and there were trees everywhere. 'I must not have made it to the well.' I sighed and saw some blood on the grass not to far from where I was laying.

'Where am I? Am I dead or something? If not where is Inuyasha?' I felt something soft. I looked down and grabbed the white shirt I was laying on. 'This is sesshomaru's isn't it?' I heard something stir behind me and I slowly turned toward it.

"Sesshomaru?" I ask in a dry cracked voice. He walked into view and looked at me. I stared at him in awe. His silver hair glowed in the moonlight and his body was so muscular and lean. He walked over to me and knelt next to me.

"It's Lord Sesshomaru to you human." he said in an acid voice. I felt my temper rise and than felt my face get hot as his bare chest came into my view. I looked at his hand and saw my water pack.

"Drink." he said in his normal monotone voice. I snapped out of my little trance, and did as he said. I let the much needed water drip into my mouth. I sighed in content when he took it away from my lips. He sat down beside the tree I was laying underneath and looked at me.

"You are hurt very bad. I managed to heal you a little, but your going to have to recover the rest yourself." I nodded and mentally sighed when he looked forward into the sky. 'Sesshomaru saved me? And healed me?!'

I shivered slightly when a breeze blew by and looked down at myself. I blushed madly as I noticed I was half way naked. 'He took off my SHIRT!' I pulled his shirt up over my chest and looked away.

"You humans are so confusing." he said. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?" I said. He looked at me and his cold normal face locked itself in my mind. I felt myself get even more confused.

He looked back at the sky and was silent for a couple of minutes. "This Sesshomaru does not repeat himself." he said. I sighed and laid down. 'I didn't think you would.'

I turned so I was laying on my good side. I laid a hand on my bandage and stared at the moon. 'That's funny, why is the moon a reddish tint?' I looked up at Sesshomaru and stopped for a moment.

'If Sesshomaru helped me after I hurt Naraku, does that mean he was awake and didn't help me as I almost bled to death?' I felt my eyes turn to slights. I balled my hands into fists and sat up as fast as I could. I whimpered slightly but didn't feel to much pain. I''m to mad to feel pain right now.'

"Lord Sesshomaru how long were you awake when I was fighting Naraku?" I demanded. He didn't look at me but I watched as his eyes slowly fell toward the ground. Than he looked at me and a deep frown covered his face.

"This Sesshomaru awoke when he wanted to?" he shouted at my face. I was slightly startled at the sudden outburst and I glared back at him.

"You could have helped me!" I shouted back. He stood up a started toward the forest. I scowled and frowned even deeper.

"Where do you think you're going?" I yelled at his back. "for a walk." he said without looking back. He disappeared into the forest without another word. I looked at the tree and grabbed the nearest branch I could find. I grabbed it and pulled myself up. I moaned a little and steadied myself.

'Your not getting off that easily.' I limped toward where he disappeared and stopped when I heard a loud 'crack'. I hide behind a tree and tried Myoga's tick he taught me about covering up my scent. I did it and hid behind a nearby tree.

I watched as Sesshomaru punched the living hell out of a tree. He gave a loud growl and walked to the middle of the clearing. 'Did I really make him this mad?' I hoped not. I didn't want to end up like that tree. I continued to watch Sesshomaru pace and yell at himself.

OOooOO

(Sesshomaru's p.v.)

I growled as the demon tried once again to get out. 'No' I kept repeating. 'I taught myself better than this, I've always controlled it better then this.' I walked over to the completely demolished tree and punched it again. "I'm not going to let you take over I will not allow it." I yelled.

I looked at the moon and cursed it with everything in me. 'I had control every other mating year, why does this one have to be so different?' I thought.

'Maybe you have been holding me in for too long, I need to get out and find a mate, how about that cute little miko?' I noticed a little change in my demon voice. Than I nearly killed myself at the thought of mating with that damned human.

I heard something gasp and looked toward a tree. I smelt the air and to no avail smelt nothing. I turned to the little river and knelt down by the side. I splashed my face a couple of times and sighed.

'Nothing is going to settle you is it?' I felt it try to escape again and I gripped the ground with a force that ripped it right out. I threw it into the water and grabbed my head.

'Just let me out, it will only take a couple of hours.' I shook my head and opened my eyes. 'This can't be me...I have so much more control.' I thought and a body raking pain shot up my spine again.

"I'm losing control of it." I said and felt my normal state start to push out. I looked into the water and saw the rims of my eyes turn red. "No!" I shouted and turned toward someone behind me. 'How could I not have heard or smelt her coming?'

Kagome stood about three feet behind me with a scared expression on her face. "Sesshomaru..." she whispered. I stood up and faced her fully. I felt myself slowly losing control. 'Run miko.' I looked at her as she started toward me. I shook my head slightly and took a step back as she touched my cheek.

"Fight it Sesshomaru, Inuyasha did, so can you." she said in a determined voice. I stared at her with a little hint of what? Envy? She a mere human is trying to help me keep my demon inside. I fell to the ground with a pang of pain.

'It won't hurt if you just let me out...'' said a voice. But it was not me. I shook my head and howled at the sky. I looked back at Kagome and realization hit me. "Naraku!"

'You bastard, you did something to me! That is not the real me!' I heard Naraku's laughter in the back round and an image of him appeared in my mind.

I growled and ran from Kagome. "Sesshomaru!" I heard her shout behind me. But I ran as fast and far from her as I could. "Naraku you bastard! What are you planning now?" I shouted.

'Well I thought it was simple enough for you Sesshomaru. You should now that every demon is in it's most weak and vulnerable state when it is mating year.' I smirked slightly and slumped against a tree.

"So that is the great and powerful Naraku's way of defeating me. Get me in my weakest state and kill me. How pathetic are you naraku?" I said. I slid down the tree slightly when another pain shot through me.

'You dare insult me mutt?' Naraku shouted. I smiled and nodded. So much hatred building inside of me that I need to kill something.

OOooOO

(Normal p.v)

I stopped and leaned against a tree in pure exhaustion. "Wow he can go far." I wheezed. 'And it doesn't help that I'm more wounded than a mouse in a trap house.' I looked behind a tree and saw Sesshomaru holding his head. I stepped out of the shadows and ran over to his side.

"Sesshomaru!" I said. He looked at me and I fell back.I winced as I landed on my bad arm. I stood back up and grabbed my arm.

"RUN!" he shouted. I set my chin in determination and walked back over to him. "Come on quickly bring me to the well in the Inuyasha forest." I said. He looked at me like I was crazy but nodded. I climbed on his back and held on tightly as he jumped toward the well.

I noticed him wince and sometimes howl out in pain. 'Sesshomaru...you must be going through so much pain. I really want to do something to help you, since you were nice enough to help me.' When we landed next to the well I got off and grabbed his arm.

He swiped at me and tried to pull away. But I kept a tight hold onto him. I pulled him toward the well and grabbed onto him tightly as I got to the edge. I jumped over the side with a struggling Inu daiyoukai at my side.

I felt the impact of the earth hit my back as I landed back in my own time with Sesshomaru's head laying on my chest. I squeaked and pushed him off. He moaned and sat up. His eyes returning to their normal gold. He rubbed his head and looked at me.

"Don't flatter yourself miko." he said and stood up. I did the same as he did and stared at the latter. 'Great how the heck am I going to climb...' I gasped as I felt an arm grab my waist and lift me out of the well. Sesshomaru put me on my feet as we landed. He pulled his arm back, and I felt a blush push at my cheeks again.

'Oh no, I'm not blushing am I?' I looked down and felt my face. 'Oh no I am!' Sesshomaru stared at me as my little episode occurred. I looked at him and felt my face get hotter. I looked away and started walking toward my the door. I grabbed it and opened it.

"Thank you...Kagaome." I looked back at Sesshomaru and gave him a sweet smile. 'wow he said my name!' I walked out of the well house and started toward my house. 'Wow this has be the most painful and confusing day of my life.'

OOooOO
