Loving the Youkai

Chapter Four: A Youkai Lords' Bedroom

'I have to go to him, he's hurt, and for once he actually needs the assistance of a human.' her mind was screaming at her not to step one foot into his room, while on the other side her heart was begging her to go on ahead and help the young youkai.

Alas, she sided with her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly on the large door.

Moments passed.

After a short time, she heard a soft, but rather pained voice asking who it was.

"Kagome."

'You know, the one you asked to come along with you to this oversized mansion!'

There was silence for a moment, then a soft, much softer 'you may enter' was heard. She gathered up the rest of her courage and gently pushed the door open. The sight that met her brown eyes made her want to cry. Sesshomarou, lord of the Western Lands, was covered in blood, a pained expression marked his sharp handsome face. The fear in his eyes nearly made her sick, she had never seen him even look afraid, but now it was obvious that he was.

She walked to him quickly, immediately placing her hand across his left arm to help slow the bleeding, the moment she touched him, a soft blue glow surrounded her and the place were his flesh met hers'.

She spoke a few soft words and gently squeezed his injured limb until what sounded like a whimper came from him, he closed his eyes and the next thing he knew he could feel the flesh on his arm seemingly re-appearing, the scar across his face disappeared, and before he could begin to say anything to the young miko, he felt a light jolt in is right side, the next time he looked down towards that area, his right arm was once again whole.

"My…my…my arm…."

'She gave me back my arm.' he thought

"Why, why did you do that?"

"Because everyone is better off with two arms…" she giggled just before her weakened body almost forced her to faint. He caught her just as she was about to hit the floor and laid her on his huge bed where he had been laying.

He gently placed a fur blanket over the girls pale body, being extra careful not to hurt her in any way. This was his new found savior, but now that they were alone, and he had the time to think, he was starting to….

'No, no I can't fall in love with her.' he stopped himself

'I will not fall in love with her.' he was more or less trying to make his self to believe what he was thinking, unfortunately, it wasn't working.

After some time, she awoke to him staring at her nervously. She smiled, it was obvious she was about to say something when out of nowhere, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Arigato"
