Glad to hear everyone is enjoying my work so far
Sad to hear that A Single Spark is coming to an end. With this news, I, like many others have decided to continue posting my stories on the site until I am unable to. This fic is also on fanfiction among the many other stories I've written. I just created an account on Dokuga so look for any updated and new material there as well. All of my fanfics are under the same penname Silver Silence 89. A Single spark had a good run. I'll miss it.
One Night
Chapter 3: A fairytale's nightmare
"KAGOME!" the small group was rudely awakened by Inuyasha yelling for Kagome, who was no where to be found. It was silent as the early rays of sunlight etched their way towards the group, warming their bodies from the cool of the night. The half- demon reached out beside him in the middle of his sleep, but when he felt the absence of Kagome's warm body next to him, he immediately jerked awake.
"Inuyasha…" Shippo groaned rubbing his eyes from his last signs of sleep.
"Where is she? Where the hell is Kagome?" Inuyasha was yelling now, not caring if he woke everyone up.
"What? Kagome's not here!" Sango said snapping awake once she fully comprehended Inuyasha's words.
"NO! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" The half demons temper was boiling. Kagome never went on her own in the middle of the night. Miroku stepped foreword and placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, stopping him from trembling.
"Calm down Inuyasha. I'm sure there is a perfect explanation."
Kagome woke feeling a pair of long arms wrapped around her. She opened her eyes slightly and immediately saw the silver tresses of hair that covered her like a small blanket. A small smile crept across her lips as memories of the previous night slowly came to mind. She shifted slightly, which only made Sesshoumaru's hold on her tightened. She heard him inhale deeply and looked up only to find him staring down at her with his golden eyes.
"Good Morning." She said, stifling a yawn.
"Hm." He grunted placing a simple kiss on her forehead. She closed her eyes and placed a hand on his broad chest and memorized the pattern of his beating heart. She slowly began to breathe in sync with him. Her smile widened when he ran a single claw down her side. Nothing was said between the two as she slowly fell deeper and deeper into the trance that his simple touch created.
Suddenly, he gripped Kagome's hips tightly, nearly digging his claws into her milky skin. At the sudden action, Kagome opened her eyes to look at the demon lord. She wrinkled her eyebrows at him when she noticed that he stared at her with narrowed eyes as his ears twitched slightly.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked in a whisper as she ran a hand through his silky hair. He stared at her intently before speaking.
"He's calling for you." He whispered trying desperately to hold his growl in. Kagome's bright eyes dimmed. She knew who 'he' was. She rested her head on the demon's chest as thoughts began to consume her.
"I know I loved him Sesshoumaru. I thought I'd be able to get over what you and I had and be able to move on with him. But my heart is holding me back." She buried her face deeper into Sesshoumaru chest, holding back the tears that were threatening to escape. He hugged her tighter as the smell of salted tears bombarded his senses.
"You don't have to go back." Sesshoumaru's voice was stern as he spoke. She stared up at him and he looked down at her. She thought she'd heard him wrong.
"What did you just say?"
"You do not have to go back to the worthless half breed if you feel that you do not belong there. If you wish you can come with this Sesshoumaru." As the words registered in her brain, a wide smile spread across her lips.
"Do you mean it?" she felt as though her heart was going to jump out of her throat and do a little dance. Sesshoumaru only nodded his head in response. She contemplated what he was offering; she could go back to Inuyasha and the others, and lie to her heart about loving the half- demon. Or she could remain with Sesshoumaru and allow her heart to live in bliss. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She was just too good of a person to abandon her friends.
"I can't Sesshoumaru. It wouldn't be right to the others." She was silenced as Sesshoumaru pressed his lips against hers in a soft kiss. The miko deepened it when she drove her tongue into Sesshoumaru's mouth. A small growl escaped him as they kissed passionately, refusing to let one another go. With a brush of his fangs against her bottom lip, Sesshoumaru immediately smelled the undeniable spike in her arousal. Reluctantly, he separated his lips from hers, which caused Kagome to let out a small whimper.
"Then you should return." He said half meaning it. "His yelling is becoming bothersome." Kagome let out a small laugh as she placed another kiss on the demon lord's lips.
Before the two could become involved in another heated escapade of lust and desire, Sesshoumaru stood to his feet and helped the miko to hers. The two slowly began to dress, silently wishing they were once again entangled in each others arms. Once they were done, the two stared at each other silently. Kagome smiled at him as she stepped closer to him and leaned forward to kiss him.
"KAGOME!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YA"!?" Inuyasha's persistent voice cut through their silence like a knife. Sesshoumaru's ears twitched as the hanyou's voice tore into his eardrums. The demon lord stepped out of the miko's embrace and starred at her with a gleam in his eyes.
"DAMMIT WOMAN! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU…" the two turned their heads as the rustle of leaves could be seen behind them. She turned back to face Sesshoumaru only to find him gone. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her and a gentle kiss was placed on her neck.
"I'll be watching." Sesshoumaru whispered before releasing her. She turned only to find him gone once again. A sigh escaped her as Inuyasha finally managed to tear through the trees. He faced Kagome with wide eyes and a fuming temper.
"What the hell are you doing over here? Why aren't you at the camp?" Inuyasha wrinkled his brow as he stared at the miko demanding an answer. Kagome merely closed her eyes and brushed past him back towards the camp where the others were.
"Calm down Inuyasha please… I just took an early morning stroll. Nothing to worry about." Inuyasha lowered his eyes at her and he sniffed the air.
Nothing. He grunted before falling into step beside her.
The demon lord peered down at the two, hidden within the trees. A smirk spread across his lips as he watched Inuyasha sniff for any sign of another's presence.
'He would have never been able to sense me with my barrier.' He thought as he rested against the trunk of the tree. The fact was true; half demons could rarely recognize a demon when they disguised themselves under a youkai barrier. And even if Inuyasha did, he would be to naïve to recognize anything if he sensed it.
Rays of light reflected against Sesshoumaru's golden orbs as he watched the hanyou and miko walk away from the clearing. With a sigh, the demon lord lifted his body and disappeared into the shadows.
"Hey Kagome.. Would you mind telling me that story again?" Shippo's soft voice tore Kagome from her thoughts. The night air was soft against her skin, and her hair blew aimlessly through the wind. The small group had settled down for the night in a small clearing not to far from town. Sango and Miroku talked silently to each other as they rested against a tree. Inuyasha was perched in one of the higher trees, watching over the others. Kagome spared a glance at Inuyasha, who stared down at her. With a sigh she turned to face Shippo, avoiding the persistent stare of her boyfriend. He had just started to calm down from the questioning of her earlier actions.
"Which one Shippo?" She asked, taking a seat and allowing the small fox demon to snuggle into her lap.
"The one about the demon princess." He yawned. Kagome let a smile cross her lips.
"Okay then." Kagome leaned against the tree and closed her eyes as she began to tell a story she'd recited to the kitsune many times before. "A thousand years ago, there lived a beautiful demon princess, who every other demon loved. Everyone wished to see her, but they could not. For the demon princess was trapped in the tallest tower of the mountain lands by her evil mother. Her mother was jealous of her daughter's beauty and at the fact that every demon lord wanted her as his mate. So out of jealousy and rage, the demoness locked away her daughter never to be seen again."
She felt Shippo shift under her hand, which gently stroked his orange fur.
"One day.. A demon lord from the west watched the demoness from below as she stared out of her window, dreaming that one day she'd be released from her prison. He vowed that he'd release the princess and have him for her own. He loved her from the first day he'd see her. "
"But Kagome… if she was locked up by her mother how could the demon lord get to her?" Shippo asked as if he'd never heard the story before.
"Well he went after her. He fought her mother and saved the princess from captivity. Seeing how the demon lord fought for her valiantly, the demon princess fell in love with him. And they loved each other for the rest of their demonic lives." Concluding her short tale, Kagome looked down to see Shippo curled in her lap, small snores emitting from him. With a small smile she watched the child and ran a hand through his hair.
It was a simple fairytale, but it always did the job when it came to putting Shippo to sleep. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the bark of the tree, only to be shaken by a smooth voice behind her.
"Do you believe in fairy tales miko?" She didn't open her eyes and only let a small smile cross her lips. Although she did not see him, she knew where he was. The Taiyoukai sat on the opposite side of the same tree Kagome rested against, his back pressed against the bark. He was hidden from the eyes of the others, and he lowered his aura to not be discovered by Inuyasha and the others.
"What are you doing here? I didn't expect you to be listening." Kagome whispered softly so no one could hear her.
"I'm always watching." He said coolly. "So…. Do you believe in fairytales?" The demon lord repeated. Kagome opened her eyes, perplexed at the strangeness of the demon's question.
"They're just stories. Why?"
"They intrigue me I assume."
Kagome let out a chuckle. Sesshoumaru pressed his back further into the tree, leaning his head completely against the bark.
"Why would child's play intrigue the great lord of the west?" Kagome asked as she shifted Shippo's position in her lap.
"It amazes me how humans such as yourself place such passion in such meager things. A story of the imagination is foolish for someone to dwell upon. It never comes to pass. It is a figment of one's simple imagination." Sesshoumaru said with a sigh.
"Well maybe fairytales are just dreams waiting to happen." Kagome whispered as she ran her hand through Shippo's orange fur. She heard a 'hmph' escape the demon lord, which only made her smile even more.
"The hanyou is watching you miko." Sesshoumaru said with a faint voice. Kagome thought she heard the simple traces of a growl come from the demon whom was so close to her, but dismissed it entirely.
"Well then…" she whispered standing to her feet and cradling the kitsune in her arms. "No need to make him think anything." She turned her gaze towards Inuyasha who had his golden eyes fixed on her form. She heard the shuffle of feet behind her, informing her that Sesshoumaru had finally stood. She slowly began walking forward towards the others.
"Miko…." Kagome stopped at the sudden sound of the demon's voice, allowing the small shiver that crept over her to completely engulf her.
"Hai?" Her voice cracked as she spoke. She turned her head slightly and fixed the corner of her eye on the back of the lord of the west.
"When the sun kisses the midnight sky I'll be waiting for you." His voice was smooth as it met her ears. Kagome's eyes widened at his words and she quickly turned only to find Sesshoumaru completely gone.
'He'll be waiting for me?' The thumping of her heart that began when Sesshoumaru first arrived increased ten fold at his words. She tucked her bottom lip into her mouth, trying to calm the rapid beating of her heart, which seemed ready to jump through her throat. She stared a few more moments at the spot Sesshoumaru stood mere seconds before.
"Hey what are you doing up so late?" Inuyasha's voice washed over her, tearing her from the blissful thoughts of her and the demon lord. Inuyasha slowly made his way to the girl.
"Nothing… couldn't sleep I guess." She said with a sigh, turning her distant gaze towards the golden orbs of her half demon boyfriend. Staring into his eyes, she couldn't help but compare them to the molten gold of Sesshoumaru's. Though Inuyasha eyes were beautiful, his brother's seemed more exotic. It was those eyes she knew she shouldn't have been thinking about. Those eyes she shouldn't be falling for. The same eyes that held his darkest secrets, the same eyes that told his stories. The same eyes that burned a hole of desire in her merely a night before.
"Hey you with me?" Inuyasha stared at her, a worried look on his face.
"Yea I'm fine… Just tired. Maybe I should get some rest." She whispered, placing Shippo into her sleeping bag before slipping in herself. Inuyasha nodded in agreement before placing a simple kiss on her forehead.
"Get some rest. I'll finish the watch tonight." Kagome closed her eyes at Inuyasha's words. As sleep slowly claimed her, Sesshoumaru's words repeated in her mind.
The fire dwindled down to a mere flicker as the early morning chased off the night. Kagome could barely sleep with her anxiousness creeping upon her.
The miko slowly lifted her head and scanned the area around her, only to find Inuyasha and the rest of her friends sleeping peacefully. Quietly, the girl shrugged out of her sleeping bag without waking the sleeping fox child. She felt the familiar pull she'd experienced a few nights before. She knew it was him calling out to her. She followed the pull of his aura through the forest into a small clearing.
Sesshoumaru stood with his back facing the miko, but he undoubtedly felt her presence. The wind blew gently, caring her scent to his nose. Beautiful, he thought as he felt her slender arms wrap around his torso. Kagome pressed her cheek into his back, and inhaled the forest scent which drifted from him.
"I can't stay long. It's almost daylight." She whispered through his clothing. Sesshoumaru only nodded his head to assure her he understood. With her arms still encircling her waist, the tai-youkai turned his body around fully to face her. He dragged a claw gently down her cheek and across her bottom lip, only to capture it with his own. They kissed slowly at first, but Kagome soon felt his tongue slip into her mouth, causing a slight moan to escape her.
Kagome slipped her fingers into his hair, entangling herself into his long silver tresses of silk. Breaking the kiss, Sesshoumaru lowered himself to the ground and dragged Kagome onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her protectively as Kagome made herself comfortable in the crevice of his arm. Sesshoumaru lowered his head slightly and buried himself within the tresses of her raven hair.
"This will suffice me tonight my miko" he whispered as he felt Kagome's breathing even out. Casting his eyes downward, he watched as she fell into a peaceful sleep.
His puppy like ears twitched at the soft sounds of leaves twirling in the wind. Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes. The sun had slowly begun to rise, but the evening air still dominated the land. Inuyasha's ear twitched again, seemingly searching for the soft snores of one particular miko. When he did not hear her soft breathes of air, nor when he did not smell he sweet scent, the hanyou began to scan the area searching for Kagome. Finding her no where in plain sight, Inuyasha nudged the still sleeping Shippo awake.
"Oi.. runt... where's Kagome?" He asked. Shippo cracked open his eyes, stared at Inuyasha for a brief moment, and then turned his back to him, burying himself further into Kagome's sleeping bag. Irritated by the kitsune's action, Inuyasha roughly grabbed the child by the collar of his clothing and shook him.
"Wake up you stupid runt!! I asked you a damn question. Tell me where Kagome is before I pummel you to the ground." The half demon yelled as he shook the smaller demon awake none to gently.
"I… don't…. know…" Shippo managed to say as Inuyasha continued to shake him.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha stopped his abuse and stared at Sango who'd waken up from Inuyasha's tireless yells.
"Kagome's missing." He said as he roughly dropped the fox cub onto the ground.
"Oww that hurt you know." Shippo called as he stared at the retreating back of Inuyasha.
"Maybe she went for a bath." Miroku suggested as he joined Sango. He gently rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he watched Inuyasha gather his sword and strap it to himself.
"She would have told me before she left." Inuyasha mumbled under his breathe. He sniffed the air and found the faint trace of her sent leading into the forest. Without a word, he followed the smell out of the campsite.
"Inuyasha I'm sure she's fine." Sango yawned as she, Miroku, and Shippo followed after him.
"No. She's been acting strange for the past few days and I intend on finding out what the hell is going on." He called back. The small group walked until Miroku and Sango saw Inuyasha suddenly stop at the opening of a clearing.
"Inuyasha did you find…" Sango began as she caught up with him. Her words stopped when she saw the blank expression on the half demon's face. She could see his eyes began to could over with sadness and anger.
Confused at her friend's sudden change in attitude, Sango followed Inuyasha's gaze. Her eyes locked on the sight of Sesshoumaru resting peacefully on the grass. In his arms was a sleeping Kagome.
"Hey why are you to so…" the monk whispered as he stood next to Sango. He only looked at the sight of the demon lord and Kagome to understand. He quickly turned to Inuyasha.
""Inuyasha…." He began. He could feel the demonic energy within Inuyasha begin to rise. "Think logically before you act." The two heard the demon's knuckles crack.
"What the hell…." Inuyasha began. His voice was harsh and deadly. The two of them stared at the hanyou, only to notice a blood red color seep into his eyes. "Does that bastard think he's doing?!"
"Inuyasha wait!" Sango called. But it was too late. The half demon had already run out into the clearing, ready to unleash his wrath upon the unsuspecting pair.
The scent invaded Sesshoumaru's nose without welcome. He embraced Kagome more tightly in his arms and opened his eyes slowly.
He was angry. The demon lord could feel it. And he loved every bit of it. A small smirk crossed his lips at the mere thought of his idiotic brother seeing the two of them entangled in each others arms. He felt the surge of demonic power behind him. His eyes narrowed as he watched his half brother charge for him from the corner of his eye. In one swift motion, Sesshoumaru scooped the miko into his arms and leapt from his position just as Inuyasha sent his fist into the ground.
Sesshoumaru heard the feral growl that escaped the half- demon. His smirk widened as he landed swiftly on his feet in front of the irate hanyou whom he despised.
"Does something bother you dear brother." Sesshoumaru's voice leaked sarcasm as he stared directly at Inuyasha. Inuyasha's breathing became labored as he watched Sesshoumaru tightened his hold around the miko.
"What the hell do you think your doing with her?!" Inuyasha barked out as he charged for the demon lord again, his claws raised and ready to strike. With ease, Sesshoumaru avoided his blow and sent a cold glare towards him.
"You fool. If you a battle is what you seek I will me more than happy to grant your request. But not at the expense of endangering the miko." Sesshoumaru's voice was cool as he spoke. In an instant the demon lord was gone, only to reappear behind the shocked Miroku and equally shocked Sango.
"Watch over her." Sesshoumaru demanded gently depositing the still sleeping Kagome into the monk's arms. With both their voices lodged in their throats, Sango and Miroku could only stare at the silver haired demon as withdrew Tokijen from its sheath. Stepping back into the clearing, Sesshoumaru stared directly at the half breed.
"Prepare yourself Inuyasha. This day you will die by my hands." He pledged as he raised his sword and attacked the half breed full force, with no intention of loosing the fight.
Kagome slowly began to stir from her slumber. Her eyes cracked open to the shocked faces of Miroku and Sango. A soft moan escaped her as she tried remembering what she'd been doing before falling asleep. The image of Sesshoumaru flashed through her mind. She remembered being locked in his embrace until she fell asleep. She stared at her friends with a worried expression.
"Guys. What's going on?" Her voice was a mere whisper as she spoke.
"We should be asking you that." Sango said. "How long have you and Sesshoumaru been…" the demon slayer trailed off unable to finish the thought. Kagome brought her hands to her lips. She felt a strong hand on her shoulder and turned slightly to see Miroku staring at her.
"Kagome…. Was Sesshoumaru the reason you were unable to mate with Inuyasha?" she could only shake her head in response. "When you came to use for advice it was about him." She shook her head again.
"Even now…is he keeping you from mating with Inuyasha." A tear slid down Kagome's cheek as she shook her head. She wrapped her arms around herself as if to drive of a chill in the air that didn't exist.
"At first I thought I could get rid of it. I thought I could get rid of him. But now…" she bit her lower lip as she lowered her head.
"Kagome…" Sango's soft voice broke the tense air. "Do you love Sesshoumaru?" Kagome's eyes widened at her work. Tears continued to flow from her eyes, though the tried desperately to hold them back.
"Where is Inuyasha? I have to talk to him?" She said with a cracked voice
"Um… I think it's a little to late for that." Miroku said, pointing into the open clearing. Kagome turned to see Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha meeting each other blow for blow in a heated battle. Sesshoumaru seemed calm as he swung his sword downward, but the sight of Inuyasha caused a startled gasp to escape the miko. His eyes were no longer the cool golden color she was accustomed to. Instead they were a demonic red, informing her that he'd allowed his demon blood to take full control.
"Inuyasha…" she breathed as she stepped forward.
"Kagome no... I fear that seeing you will only make matters worse for him." Miroku advised. She shook her head and watched as the two brothers fought.
Inuyasha, who had long ago abandoned Tetsuseiga lashed at the demon lord with his bare claws. He snarled as Sesshoumaru ducked and dodged every blow. Growing tired of his games, the demon lord raised to fingers coated in poison and slashed the red clothe of Inuyasha's haori. In another swift move, Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha on his back facing him. The wounds on his body had already begun taking their toll on the half demon as the battle continued. Now, with labored breathes and fierce red eyes, Inuyasha stared into the molten gold eyes of his brother, who stood directly above him with Tokijen to his throat.
"It's time that I finish this little brother. Kagome is mine." He whispered coldly as he raised his sword for the final blow.
"NO! Don't do it!!" Kagome called as she ran forward and threw herself over Inuyasha's wounded body. Sesshoumaru stared at the girl with his sword still raised.
"Remove yourself miko so that I may dispose of this vermin." He said coldly, gripping the hilt of his sword tighter.
"No Sesshoumaru. You will not kill him." The demon's eyes lowered as he stared at her. He searched her brown eyes for something, but finding nothing, he re-sheathed his sword and turned her back on them.
"You will choose Kagome. That bastard or myself." His body tensed as he waited for her answer. He was somewhat shocked when he felt her arms wrap around his body.
"You already know who I choose Sesshoumaru. So please… no more fighting over me." Sesshoumaru lowered his head a little as he placed a hand on hers. The sudden shrill laugh of Inuyasha tore the demon and miko from their moment of peace.
"'Aint that cute." He voice was horse. The two turned to see Inuyasha slowly stand to his feet. His fangs were clearly visible as he threw his head back into a hysterical laugh. "So you've decide hm Kagome."
"Inuyasha…" she whispered. She was about to whisper the single word command that would subdue his demonic half, but Inuyasha knew her too well. Before the world could slip from her lips, He charged the two of them, causing Sesshoumaru to grab the girl's arm and fling her to safety.
The two were once again locked in a battle.
"I promised the miko I would no longer fight. You have already lost this battle Inuyasha. Give up." The tai-youkai said. A wicked grin crossed Inuyasha's lips.
"Well too bad for you bastard." He snarled as he drove his fist straight into Sesshoumaru's stomach and out the other side. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as Inuyasha removed his arm from his flesh. Loosing his grip on the half demon, he fell to his knees, causing Inuyasha to laugh.
"Never thought I'd see the day when the great demon lord would bow down to me." He snarled as he lifted his leg and sent it into the side of his head, causing the demon to go flying into a far try. He hit the trunk with a thud and slid down slowly before loosing all conscious.
"Sesshoumaru!!" Kagome called, jumping to her feet. Her outburst caused Inuyasha to turn her attention to him.
"Now for you…" he whispered to her as he jumped into the air and landed on top of her, forcing her to the ground.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome choked out as he pressed her further into the ground. A small smile spread across his lips as he ran a clawed finger down her cheek and caught her chin in his hands. Staring into his blood red eyes, Kagome could see nothing but anger and hatred.
"So bitch. He's the reason you wouldn't mate with me? I'll fix that." He growled as he pressed his lips forcefully against hers. She attempted to push him off of her, but to no avail.
"Inuyasha please. Stop. Let me explain." She choked out as she felt his clawed hand move up her thigh.
"There's nothing to explain wench. I see if you're going to be mine I have to take you by force." He whispered harshly into her ear and he tore her shirt from her body, revealing her solid black bra.
"Inuyasha! Stop!" Sango called as ran to her friend's aid. She grabbed Inuyasha's arm in an attempt to remove him, only to be thrown off with a single push by the half demon.
"Inuyasha you will cease this act at once." Miroku commanded as he brought his staff around the hanyou's neck.
"Get the fuck away from me damnit!" He barked as he flipped the monk and sent him flying into the direction of Sango, causing him to land hard on top of her.
"Now where was I." he growled turning his attention back to the nearly naked girl beneath him. He could feel Kagome shake violently beneath him as he lowered his head into her neck and inhaled her scent deeply.
"All you had to do was love me Kagome. That's all I wanted." He began placing bruising kisses on her neck and collar bone. Hot tears flowed from Kagome's eyes as Inuyasha pressed his groin against her.
"Noo…" She cried as he ripped of her green skirt and left her in her mere undergarments.
"Shut up bitch.. You deserve…" before the demonic Inuyasha could finish his thought, the poisonous green whip wrapped around Inuyasha's neck pulling him from his position on top of Kagome's body. Inuyasha fell to the ground, grasping the whip wrapped tightly around his neck, trying to free himself from its hold. Kagome sat up and covered herself with her hands. Looking around to where Sesshoumaru's body lay, she was shocked to see him no longer there. Instead, he stood directly in front of her. His held onto his poisonous whip tightly, tightening the hold he had around Inuyasha neck.
"You dare touch what is mine half breed. You shall pay for your stupidity." Kagome stared at the demon lord. His eyes were a blood red, just as Inuyasha's, and his lips were turned upwards into a vicious snarl showing his razor sharp fangs.
The sound of Inuyasha choking and gasping for air was like music to his ears. In one fluid motion, Sesshoumaru brought the hanyou's body up and sent it flying into the ground. He continued to do this until Inuyasha was unconscious. He felt a pair of soft hands touch him. He looked down to see Kagome staring up at him, pain and sorrow evident in her eyes. Seeing her caused his emotion to calm. His eyes returned to their molten gold as he wrapped an arm protectively around her and buried himself in her. He released his death hold on Inuyasha.
"Take me away." She whispered. Like a knight coming to rescue his princess, he wrapped them in his white light and transported them to the castle leaving no single trace.
