Many people came...even tho Kouga and Inuyasha didn't like and almost had to be held back....kouga to wolf friends tried...but failed. A few human men came...but nothing. Inuyasha then forbid any more humans from trying....he didn't know why but he just knew that it was not a human man that would wake her. it was Kagome they were talking about. Sesshomaru was there the time Kikyo showed up....Kagome had been asleep for a week.

"Inuyasha"

They all turned around the see Kikyo "what u want?" He snapped sharply at her. "Do you wish me for to go?" She asked...stopping 5 feet from the group. Inuyasha held his fist tight...no he didn't really want her to go...she was the only on left....Kagome was not his. "What do you want Kikyo?" He asked more calmly "I was just coming to check on my reincarnation" She spoke walked up to Kagome. "Have you all tried?" She asked

"Indeed we have Lady Kikyo" Miroku spoke, Sango holding on to his arm. "All of you?" She asked again not looking up from Kagomes body. "Yes Lady Kikyo" Miroku spoke again. Kikyo looked up and her eyes darted to Sesshomaru...did anyone noticed but him? He didn't know...he was to busy looking at her..trying to figure out why she was looking at him. "I see" She said as she stepped away from Kagome. "Someone will bid her to awaken...do not doubt that" With that Kikyo turned to walk away "Inuyasha...will you join me?"

He looked to Miroku and Sango...then back to Kikyo "Sure" Then he followed. Miroku looked back at Sesshomaru "I do think we will take our leave now Lord Sesshomaru...will you be staying?" Miroku asked. Sesshomaru looked to the shy "No" was all he said...but he made no move to move. Miroku noticed and decided now would be a good time to leave...Sango followed. Sesshomaru looked back to the miko and the elder mikos words came to him

Someone will bid her to awaken...do not doubt that

Bid my blood to run.

Indeed someone could...but would they before she was gone...nothing?

(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone

Who would save her? Who would protect her? He knew Inuyasha would soon bed the other miko....so who would be left to watch her? These were question in his head...not because he cared...just because he wanted to know. Who else was there to come and try?

He looked down at her...he swore her lips became light...almost as if they didn't have blood running in them. She was nothing....not even human in the state...it made him sick...

(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

What if they one she was supposed to be with was really in the future? No Kikyo would not have done that...would she? Sesshomaru made himself drop the matter and walk away

"Farewell...miko" he said before he left...something he always said be for leaving her cold body. Tho he didn't know why.

----

Sesshomaru could not help but to think about the miko as he return to his castle. When and if she did wake up...what would she say? Do? Would she love the one who saved her? What about her life...everything she knew and thought would be different. Her light almost blue lifeless lips screamed to be kissed...he hated looking at her lips...made him sick...this was pathetic.

Bring me to life

To him Kagome life was not her own...but that of the Kamis...it seemed she was always bid to do deeds that were not her own....to him it seemed she was always the one being stuck in something she did not wish for...her life was....he didn't know what it was.

(I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside)

He was surprised the girl had any will left in her at all...the Kamis had not been nice to her. When he returned he was met with the Lord of the North and South....great. They told him they wish to see this miko of sleep. The Lord of the North told Sesshomaru that he wished for nothing more than to lay his lips upon hers. Sesshomaru just looked at him..he could not believe his ears. He just told him very well, as for the Lord of the South..he said he just wanted to try. Sesshomaru sword his world and people were losing there minds...what the hell was it about the damn miko?

----

Sesshomaru took both Lords to Kagome the next day...but this time no one was there...it was just them...them and Kikyo. She was standing there with her arms crossed. She said nothing but watched as the Lord of the South leaned over the girl. He licked his lips and leaned down and kiss her.....for some reason they all knew he would not be the one...and they were right. When he moved away he saw that her lips were once again blue and cold looking...calling.

Bring me to life.

"Why miko are her kips sp lifeless?" He didn't know why he ask. Kikyo raised a eyebrow "I know not of what you speak of" She told him. "Do you not see elder miko?" Sesshomaru was still looking over at Kagome. Kikyo glance at Kagome....her lips were fine...pink and parted.

They both forgot what they were talking about as the Lord of the north knelt down and looked at the miko.

"I shall awaken you little one...and then you shall become my mate" He brushed his hand down her hair. Sesshomarus body went tight...when he noticed he relaxed...he had no idea why his body did that.

"I shall warm you body with my touch...little miko" The man said again...rubbing her face with the back of his hand.

Frozen inside without your touch,

"You shall bid me your love miko...I will be your master" He stood up not taking his eye of her "She with he pale skin...she is beautiful" He said looking away.

Without your love, darling.

Sesshomaru had to agree..her pale skin looked good on her. He has seen plenty of dead and half living people to agree she was both beautiful half dead or alive.

Only you are the life among the dead.
Sesshomaru uncrossed his arms...he had just thought the miko beautiful. "Will you not awaken her" Sesshomaru asked...

"No...not yet..I shall take my time" The Lord of the north responded. Sesshomaru watched as the Lord of the North walked away. Kikyo kept her eye on Sesshomaru.

"He very well may be one of the ones who can wake her"

Sesshoamru was next to her in a blink..too close..but she didn't flinch. "Explain!" He demanded, he hear her word...one of the ones?

"Whats the matter...Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Do not test me woman"

"Very well" She stepped back "He must love her" She said

"Miko" He warned

"The one she belongs to...she will belong to the one who loves her....that can be a changing thing...anyone could fall inlove with her"

"The wolf?" Sesshomaru asked...he knew he love her "No...lust and ifatuation" She told him. "But I warn Sesshomaru...if a man does wake her...and he is not the real man she belong to...her life will be but a void...her eyes will be dark and she will never bare children"

"Why is it that you feel the need to tell me" He knew she slipped up with her word...just for him to pick them up. Kikyo just smirked and vanished...she would leave it up to him to decide what she meant. Sesshoamru glance at Kagome again...at her lips, and again they were dying to be kissed, but again he turned and walked away

"Farewell..miko"
