Never Piss Of The Dead
The group awoke to a sight they thought they would never see. Lord Sesshomaru the well known hater of humans, holding a human woman. A Miko none the less. The two things he had always hated the most, other than Inuyasha. Sesshomaru was sitting under a tree with Kagome snuggled in his lap. No one moved, it was as if they where paralyzed with disbelief.
All but Miroku, who watched the couple with a grin and a knowing look. Kikyo had been asleep until she heard Inuyasha's growling. Sitting up, she could see the look of anger on Inuyasha's face. " Inuyasha what's wrong?"
" That Bastard is holding Kagome" His growls became louder and deeper by the second. " So what? It is not like you care if he does or not. Lay back down, it is still early." Kikyo said as she pulled on Inuyasha's arm as she was laying back down.
She was rewarded with Inuyasha glaring at her, his growl deepened , his fangs could been seen. He jumped to his feet staring at Kagome and Sesshomaru. How dare he hold her. She is mine, not his. He growled with anger as he walked toward them.
Kikyo watched as Inuyasha jumped up and started to move toward the couple. She was mad at the idea of her Inuyasha being angered at them being together in such a way. She smirked at seeing what happened to him when he reached them.
Inuyasha reached out to grab Kagome's arm, wanting to jerk her out of Sesshomaru's lap. Before he could touch her, a clawed hand shot out, grabbing Inuyasha around the throat. Sesshomaru's eyes shot open as he stared at Inuyasha with disgust and anger.
" Half Breed you would do well not to touch what is mine. Try it again, promise or not you will die." Sesshomaru's voice was colder than ice and hard. His claws lightly dug into the flesh of his neck. Inuyasha could feel blood start to run down his neck from the claw wounds.
" You have no right to call her yours, you Bastard." He whispered something that was to low for human ears to hear. " She hasn't given herself to you, she never will. She will be mine. I will have them both." This earned a deep growl from Sesshomaru.
" Shall we ask her if she is mine Half Breed? You chose the dead Miko and now you want them both. Pathetic." Everyone had the look of pure shock on their face's at what had been said. Kikyo's face however was one of shock, pain, disbeliefe and betrayal.
Sesshomaru lightly shook Kagome to wake her up. Kagome woke and smiled up at Sesshomaru. She was both surprised and glad he had held her all night like he said he would. He looked down into her eyes for a moment. She could see a smile that lay within his golden depths even though it didn't show on his face.
His eyes turned hard just as he turned to look aways from her. She gasped as she looked in the direction he was looking and saw Inuyasha, blood flowing toward his chest from under Sesshomaru's hand.
" What's going on?" She asked her eyes wide in shock as she looked back at Sesshomaru hoping he would tell her.
He never moved his gaze from Inuyasha as he spoke. " It seems the Half Breed thinks he can have both you and the dead miko. He tried to claim you as his." She stared at Inuyasha unable to speak. Finely after finding her voice, she pissed Inuyasha off with what she said..
" No Inuyasha. I told you before, I will never be yours, not now, not ever. You chose Kikyo. Now live with your decision I don't want you!" Inuyasha grabbed at Kagome, she cringed into Sesshomaru's chest deeper. Sesshomaru's hold on her tightened. His claws dug deeper into Inuyasha's neck. " Your Both Mine!" He yelled. Trying to grab her once again. This was his biggest mistake. Never ever piss off the dead even more so if she is a Miko.
Before Inuyasha could touch Kagome's arm, he was hit by a powerful ball of Miko energy. Inuyasha went flying back away from Kagome. He hit the ground hard knocking the air out of his lungs. His body was tingling with pain all over him.
Everyone turned looking in the direction the energy ball had come from and saw Kikyo standing their glaring at Inuyasha. Her body glowed with her Miko powers. Everyone could tell she was livid. They all feared for Inuyasha's life. Almost all that is. Sesshomaru was enjoying the show.
Kikyo's eye bored into Inuyasha. They held only anger and hate in them. As Kagome looked at Kikyo's eyes she saw something she didn't like. For reasons unknown to her, she knew what Kikyo was going to do. Kagome stepped forward as Kikyo started to walk by her and spoke.
" Kikyo please don't do it." She said as she was almost begging. " Why should I spear his life? He has caused you and I both a great deal of pain. Here you are begging for his life?" She stated but never removed her eyes from Inuyasha.
Miroku , Sango and Shippo hurried away from Inuyasha. Afraid they might be caught within the range of her powers. Kagome quickly looked around to each person who was now looking at her. She felt a hand on her shoulder, looking back she saw it was Sesshomaru.
What can I say to change her mind? How can I save his life?She looked at the ground trying to think of something. She remembered something her mother had told her after Inuyasha had hurt her. Kagome Dear he is the one who made the mistake. He will play the memories over and over again in his mind. That will be like a torment for him. Something that will not go away, always present in his thoughts. So don't let him get to you like this. Thanks Mom.
" Yes Kikyo he has caused us both allot of pain. He has betrayed us both. But his death isn't the answer. Making him live with his mistake. Letting him remember what he has lost and what he has done. Don't you think that would be more of a punishment than death? Death would be like a release for him. Do you like him enough to put him out of the torment of his mind?" Kagome hoped this would affect Kikyo as it had her when she was younger.
Inuyasha looked at Kikyo fear in his eyes. Stupid. I should have known better. Why can't I just keep shit to myself? Surely she isn't going to do it. Is she? She loves me, right? After looking into her eyes more. He knew he had a problem.
Everyone held their breath as Kikyo walked up to him. Sesshomaru on the other hand wanted to laugh with seeing the fear that was in his eyes and in his scent. But as much as he disliked him Half brother he didn't wish him death. Even though he made everyone think he did.
The anger and pain in her eyes was plain for Inuyasha to see as she knelt down beside him. When she spoke the kind loving voice he has always heard wasn't there anymore. In it's place was a voice that was cold and uncaring for him.
" Inuyasha. I let you live this time. Not because it is what I want, but simply because of Kagome's words. I hope you remember this for the rest of your days. To help you remember, I leave you with this reminder." She pulled back his haori, placing her hand on his shoulder. He screamed in pain. When her hand was removed, there on his shoulder was a mark that looked like a T. " Never seek me out again Inuyasha."
Standing she turned to Kagome and Sesshomaru. Kagome couldn't help but feel her pain as she listened to Kikyo speak. " Miko Kagome from this day on we are no longer enemies but Allies. If he so much as tries to harm you or any here around you. This mark will cause him pain. It is the mark of a traitor to us Miko's. We shall meet again." Kikyo turned and walked away into the trees.
Miroku and Sango turned to Kagome. Shippo jumped into her arms looking up at him. She stroked his head and smiled down at him. " Kagome what now?" Kagome didn't get a chance to answer Shippo before Sesshomaru spoke up.
"With the recent events, I believe it would be wish to travel with me." He said while looking at Inuyasha "I shall be leaving in a few minutes." He finished as he looked at Kagome. Inside he was hoping she would travel with him.
Inuyasha jumped up off of the ground. " You can't take my pack you Bastard." " I am not taking the pack Inuyasha. I am giving them a choice. Go with someone who had proved he is not good enough to provide and not to cause harm to them. Or someone that dose provide and would protect them. The choice is theirs to make."
Five minutes later Sesshomaru started to walk away from the camp area. He was pleased when Kagome stood next to him along with Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Turning he noticed Inuyasha watching them. " You may come as well Inuyasha."
Everyone was wondering the same thing, so Kagome asked. " Sesshomaru just where are we going?" "The Western Lands Manor. "
Inuyasha almost cringed at the idea of going there. He still remembered the people there and how some where so mean to him. He started following the group and hoped that there was still once servant there he had known all those years ago.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around Kagome making her blush. " We will fly and be there before night fall." The group took to the air with Inuyasha running on the ground and jumping from tree to tree.
