Kirayoku smiled, exposing his sharp, long fangs.

"you knew I'll find you evantually" he said, growling towards Sekka.
"Screw you Kirayoku, I won't come back with you! I'll never marry a demon that cruel!" she said with a sharp voice, even though she shook uncontrollably.

"Oh yes you will, if you like it or not" Kirayoku shouted, and started to run towards her. "Oh no you won't! If you want to get to her, you'll have to pass me!" Kagome shouted, while aiming her purifing arrow towards the Tiger- demon, ready to release the string.

Kagome shot the arrow, trying to hit the center of Kirayoku's chest.

Kirayoku was faster though. He dogded the arrow and instead of running to Sekka, he ran straight to Kagome, and before she could even blink, his sharp claws penetrated into the middle of her abdomen.

He pulled his hand out of her stomach, leaving a big hole in it.

Kagome fell to the ground in shock. She couldn't feel the pain, because he ripped the nerves in her belly, but she could see the amount of blood, leaving a puddle on the floor.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted, terrified of loosing her.

She couldn't hear him, she was in some state of shock, looking down on her hands that tried to put pressure on the huge hole that was in the middle of her body.

Kirayoku used the oppertunity to get a hold on Sekka, and then ran from the scene before anyone could even process what just happend.

Inuyasha ran to Kagome and fell on his knees beside her.

Kaede, who sat in the corner of the room until then, got up as fast as she could and walked to see the wound in Kagome's belly.

"quick Kaede, we have to help her. She's loosing so much blood.
Kaede looked at Kagome, who was now unconsious.

"we'll need to act quick in order to save her. Inuyasha, go to the forest and bring me some mint leaves, serpent venom leaves, bamboo stick and some cotton flowers" Kaede ordered Inuyasha.

"I'll collect them as fast as I can" he promised Kaede before running into the forest.


An hour later Inuyasha was back with all the ingridiens.

"Good, Inuyasha. Now I can start making the ointmente" Kaede said as she started to put the plants in a crock pot that she placed above the bonfire.

She put the bandage on Kagome's belly, making sure it was tight in place, before approching to Inuyasha. "you need to make sure she's not moving too much until the wound is sealed. I'm afraid there's nothing more i can do. The only thing she need is rest, but she can't stay here, vulnerable to attacks of demons and more. You need to take her someplace safe".

Inuyasha nodded his head. There was no time for arguing.


Kagome woke up and she realized she was in Inuyasha's arms.

she raised her head to see the hanyu looking forward, in some distant look. "where are we going?" Kagome asked. There was no answer.

"Inuyasha! We have to help Sekka! We have no time to waist, so just tell me where we're going!" Kagome said, irritated.

"I'm going to help Sekka, but you can't" Inuyasha told her "why not?" "because you're hurt Kagome!" Inuyasha said in an angry tone.
'why is he so mad?' she thought to herself.

"so where are we going if I'm not coming with you?" Kagome asked
"I'm taking you to Sesshomaru's palace until I'll be back with Sekka" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome was shocked 'I'm going to be in Sesshomaru's house? Alone?!'.
She was confused, yet excited. She never saw his house before, his PALACE.

Inuyasha felt a bit depressed 'She didn't even try to argue with me' he thought to himself, 'dosen't she care about being alone in Sesshomaru's palace? Without me or Sango, Miroku and Shippo?' he felt a bit sad.

'I can tell there was somthing between Kagome and Sesshomaru when he came to the wedding. Does she feel somthing toward him? Was it somthing I said or did?'.

"Dammit" he said outloud. "what's wrong Inuyasha?" "nothing" he replied. He knew that if he would ask her she would deny it and laugh at him.

They got to the front of the palace. Kagome was shocked, there were so many soliders.
'At least i'll be sure she is safe in here' Inuyasah asureed himself.

"Who are you?" one of the inuyoukai soliders asked in a serious tone.
"I'm Sesshomaru's brother, I need to talk to him".

before anyone could even blink Sesshomaru was in front of Inuyasha, and looked at him with his cold, sharp eyes.

"What is it that you want Inuyasha?" he asked with his deep and chilly voice, Inuyasha said "I need to ask you a favor, even though it's pretty hard for me to even talk to you. Kagome is hurt because of a tiger- demon. I need to go after him but I can't take Kagome with me, and I can't leave her in the village because she is vulnerable in this condition alone. Please let her stay in here until i'll return".

"What will you give this Sesshomaru in return?" Sesshomaru asked,

"If you will let her stay here, under your protection, I will help you with Tessaiga in your next battle." Inuyasha replied.

"very well. Leave your wench with me and go. I'll take care of her needs while you're gone." Sesshomaru said, while raising his heands in order to hold Kagome.

Inuyasha placed Kagome carefully in Sesshomaru's arms.

"don't worry, i'll get Sekka and kill Kirayoku, and then i'll come to get you", he said right before he turned around and walked away from the castle.
