Thanks for review the last time!
And, I do not own the InuYasha characters! Those are Rumiko Takahashi's, as it should be.
Otoko charged at Sesshomaru, aiming at the dog demons stomach. But the serpent hadn't expected the dog to just stand there, waiting for the attack.
The serpent bit deeply into Sesshomaru's stomach, making the great lord wince.
"Fool! Are you ssso ssstupid that you let me take a bite of you?" Otoko said as he pulled away, blood and venom dripping onto the ground.
Suddenly a slash across his back made him shriek. Sesshomaru had taken the chance while Otoko was near to attack him, and now it was clear for Otoko that he had been fooled. With rage he curled up in a thick heap of scales, his head the only thing moving.
"Did you not feel my poisonous claws at your back?" Sesshomaru asked, a muscle twitching in his face. "I am immune of your venom."
Every step Sesshomaru took now, the serpent went after him. Soon it seemed as if they were dancing; the dog demon jumped at the serpent while this demon was biting at his feet.
"It isss no ussse, ssstupid dog!" Otoko sneered, his eyes gleaming with evil joy. "I follow every ssstep you take and I will sssee when you take the wrong move and-"
He got cut short as his attention drifted to the human, who now where gasping in pain.
"Oh, how sssad. My 'Pleasssure Poissson'sss affect is sssubsssiding from her sssyssstem. Sssoon ssshe will be clawing at her own body, trying to get the pain away. The blood will flow out, painting the sssoft grasss and earth red and I will be there to-"
Before he realized it Otoko were lying on the ground, a poison-gleaming hand pressing at his lung pipe. He stared speechless into the golden eyes of the dog demon, which now had him pinned helplessly to the ground.
"Keep your attention at your foe" Sesshomaru said, with a displeased look on his face. "I do not like being taken lightly."
Before Otoko could get himself together, Sesshomaru ripped at the serpent's throat upward and across its face. With blood dripping down his back, face and throat, Otoko transformed back to his human disguise. Lying in a heap on the ground he turned to glance at Sesshomaru who were wiping the serpent's blood from his claws.
"This will cost you, Dog" Otoko wheezed. "Just you wait; I will kill you and take that wench from you."
Sesshomaru watched the snake demon disintegrate as he fled.
'Clearly the wise type, since he did not fight me in his state' he thought dryly. As he turned to leave he heard a painful cry behind him, and he cursed himself for forgetting what he had really come for.
Why? Where did this pain come from? Inside her, inside her! Take it out, it is inside her! Kagome felt as if millions of insects were eating her up – from the inside. It stung, it burned, it chilled, it was too intense to be only one feeling. How did this happen? Her happy dream, they had finally collected all the Shards and Naraku were defeated. It had come true. And she could be both here, in the Feudal Era, and at home, with mom, gramps and Sota.
A dream? Or was this pain the dream, the nightmare? She had to get it out. If she did that the pain would go away and she could have happy memories, and dreams – forever.
Unconsciously she felt how she began to rub at her arm, then scratch and as the pain didn't subside she began to claw at herself. Kagome felt the skin give away and the feel of blood welling from underneath.
'Take it out, take it out!' the girls whole being screamed at her. Or was that her own voice screaming? It didn't matter; she had to take out whatever was inside her, and fast – or she would go insane.
Suddenly she felt a strong hand strangling her, taking away her precious air from her lungs.
'No! Not anymore!'
She were clawing at everything now; the ground, her strangler, herself. Everything wanted to hurt her.
But then a miracle sent from heaven. The pain slowly poured of her, as rain when it landed at an umbrella. She felt herself let out a tired sigh, only to be reminded that her air was running out. Kagome then pushed all her remaining power to her eyes which felt so heavy that she would have needed a crane to open them. But suddenly all weight disappeared and she found herself staring into those beautiful golden eyes she loved so much.
"You… came?" she barely whispered before the whole world came rushing down at her, taking all sound and light with them.
Sesshomaru gazed down at her sleeping face.
'"You came?'" she had said.
Had she been expecting this Sesshomaru? She knew he would come here to kill her? Or did she think he were here to save her little human life?
Of course, that was not what he had in mind. But when he saw her clawing at herself and screaming, he had done something he never thought he would; he gave her, a human, some of his precious demon blood.
'I did that so the ear-piercing sound would decrease,' he thought, an eyebrow twitching. 'Not because I pitied her.'
Once again he took hold of the girl's throat, thin as a swan's neck. A little pressure, a twist, and that little head of hers would roll of. This was something Sesshomaru had done many times, but at those times his victims had been conscious, staring at him with exposed terror.
Sesshomaru frowned. This felt too easy; the girl were not resisting, which were understandable since she was not awake, but also because his brother not where there for her. Nor were this girl's other companions; the monk, the slayer and the kitsune child. Why weren't they here for her? Sesshomaru had thought of this moment when he took InuYasha's other wench from him, which look his little brother would have.
'Pity I can't make him watch this' he thought and pressed harder at the girls throat.
"Sesshomaru!"
Well. This was kind of a pain to write. I had the idea of how to do though; the fighting scene, the thingy with only Kagome and Sesshomaru and then this "voice" at the end. But, between all that, I didn't know what to tell really. But then, last night (yeah, at 01.00, nighty-time) I got a kind of "aha"-situation and wrote until my fingers bled (*cough* not *cough*)
Anyways, enjoy, and please do review! ^^
