"The blood of the west. The mark of the West. Why do I have it?" Kagome said using her left hand to trace and feel the mark of the crescent moon that lay on her forehead.
"You miko, don't have the blood of the West but you bear the mark of the west. You should go and take your sleep before my beast controls my body." Sesshoumaru said standing up and taking a step only to be stopped by Kagome's voice.
"Thanks Sesshoumaru, for calming me down. I'll sleep a bit later since I just woke up. By the way my name is Kagome Higurashi and I like to be called Kagome and not miko" Kagome fumbled out words which made Sesshoumaru smirk.
"Go to sleep . . Kagome" Sesshoumaru said before he walked briskly to the door and went out the room.
XXX With Inuyasha XXX
Days and days went by the Inu gang fell into silence. The group's atmosphere seemed to choke them up and prevent them from talking but once in a while Sango or Miroku would start a conversation, which would end short with Inuyasha's grunt or growl.
Speaking of Inuyasha he hadn't been totally himself for the days that Kagome was gone. If anybody would talk to him he would just snort, grunt or growl back as a reply. In the night he would settle himself up a high branch of a tree and just look at the stars. One time when the group had a break Inuyasha said something that shocked them all.
It had been in a small clearing that the group decided to sit down and take a break. Inuyasha settled himself on a large rock, sitting down Indian style with the tessaiga in hand. Inuyasha's face looked blank and his eyes opened up in deep thought
"Uhmm. . .Inuyasha? Hello~ are you alright?" Sango asked with her head in the direction of the Hanyou. She sat on the grass with Shippo leaning to Kirara who was in her full demon form.
"Yea of course. I'm just thinking that's all" the hanyou replied quickly looking at Sango and the others.
"Wow. . ." Shippo said with his mouth agape and his eyes wide open in shock.
"Are you SURE you're alright Inuyasha?" Miroku asked with a disbelieved look on his face.
"Hell yes!" Inuyasha said jerking up from his sitting position. Sango and Miroku gasped while Shippo stared at him with his mouth hanging open. Heck even Kirara looked funny at Inuyasha.
"What you guys don't believe me?" Inuyasha shouted at them angrily with his angry puppy look making the others laugh at him. With an angry pout he huffed crossing his arms over his chest and turning around.
"It's just that Kagome ran away and even Kikyo is mad at me. . . We have to go and catch up to Kagome before she does something stupid!" Inuyasha said out loud sniffing the air and walking away from the group still continually sniffing.
"OI! Break's over! I got a faint smell of Kagome! Let's go" Inuyasha barked at them making the group giddy and hurriedly followed him as he lead the way.
The group continued on searching and eventually came to the same village Kagome had spent some days over. The villagers seem happy as they asked if Kagome had come about the village. The head miko hurriedly hosted the group and answered all of the group's questions. While the miko answered their questions Inuyasha sniffed about the hut they stayed in.
"She stayed here in this hut for most of the time" Inuyasha said touching the walls of the hut with his clawed fingers.
"That won't be shocking since she left only yesterday with Rin-chan of course" Kimu said with a smile as she remembered the two girls.
"Rin? What she doing here? Aint that kid going with Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked in shock as his puppy ears perked up
"Lord Sesshoumaru? Oh yes she mentioned that but Rin got separated and she unlikely had a memory loss for a while but Kagome-chan helped her out" Kimu replied getting a gasp from Sango
"Sesshoumaru could have done something to Kagome!" She said making the others change expressions.
"Shit what if Sesshoumaru got to her" Inuyasha said punching the wall lightly with a pissed off expression.
"How did Lady Kagome leave? Why did she leave anyways?" Miroku asked getting a sour look from Kimu
"During Kagome-chan's stay here as days passed she always said that she could feel someone or something following her. On her last day that thing threatened to attack the village just to make Kagome come out. She did the bravest thing that a miko could do. She packed her things got Rin and dashed out of here and planned to kill the thing herself." Kimu told the group getting gasps from all of them except for Kirara of course.
"Kagome. . ."Sango whispered out her name as water welled up her eyes.
"Something could have happened while she fought with the most probably a demon . ." Shippo said getting a mewl out of Kirara.
"Lady Kagome could also have handled that demon herself. She is the Miko of the Shikon after all, don't underestimate her that much" Miroku said out smartly
"Kagome. . ."Sango whispered looking out the door onto the forest.
The night the pillar of light shot up the whole village was in chaos. Kimu and the villagers outside looked at the magnificent pillar with awe and fear. Demons of various kinds and levels scattered out of the forest but none of them managed to reach the village due to them being purified to dust.
"Kagome-sama!" Kimu shouted out to the pillar as of to call it out. The other villagers looked at her and also shouted out Kagome's name.
The group froze in fear and awe at the pillar of light. Sango made Kirara transform and hopped up her and went up in the air trying to see what was happening. Failing to see anything but scattered demons Sango just tried to kill as many as she could with the help of Kirara.
Inuyasha went into a full demon killing spree with his tessaiga and powerful claws. Miroku seemed to calmly just exterminate which demons come to him. But the demons was not what Miroku focused on, it was the beautiful tower in which his eyes settled on.
"Pure power flowing out. ." Miroku muttered to himself stabbing a demon coming towards him and successfully exterminating it.
"Kagome's the one making that Miroku?" Shippo asked out. The poor boy clinged to Miroku's leg as the monk stabbed demons here and there.
"Most probably. . .but we cant be that sure" Miroku said.
Kimu shot some of her arrows and the villagers backed up to their house but still stayed outside. After some time the pillar went out and everything fell silent. No demons came out of the forest and the villagers gave cheers and sighs of relief. The group gathered up and went to Kimu.
"Kagome-sama unleashed her powers forcefully. Something might have happened to Rin or herself to cause her snap. All of you must go there and catch up" Kimu said waving her hand at them.
"We'll come back baa-chan!" Inuyasha said turning around and speeding off to the forest.
"GRR. .. that Inuyasha..seriously. Well anyways thank you so much Kimu-san." Sango said while Kirara transformed and she hopped up.
"We'll visit again when we have Kagome-sama back!" Miroku said also climbing up Kirara and Shippo hoping up to Kirara's head.
The group disappeared and the crowd went back into their houses. Kimu took a final look at the forest and then smiled before she herself went back indoors.

When the group appeared on the scene nothing was left and nothing was seen. Inuyasha took a minute to sniff out the area. With an angry growl the hanyou turned to his group and said.
"Sesshoumaru's scent is mixed here with Kagome and that girl Rin. I can smell Kagome's blood and some of the brats" Inuyasha said his face in a feral expression.
"Kagome's wounded. . ." Shippo said with a sad face just about to cry
"Sesshoumaru-sama took her and Rin. He probably took care of the demon" Miroku said
"No. If he killed the stupid demon there would be traces but there's nothing left" Inuyasha said sniffing up the air.
"Looks like we have to chase after them" Sango said.
"For tonight we have to rest and then tomorrow at dawn we'll charge after them" Miroku said getting down from the big cat demon
After that the group took their sleep and in the morning they woke up with determined faces and in hopes that they could go after Kagome. Hurriedly they speed off toward the direction of the now seen castle of the West.
"Just you wait Kagome. I'm going to get you back" Inuyasha said to himself as he ran with the others following behind him.

After that small comforting talk with Sesshoumaru, Kagome took some time to just look at the stars. After half an hour she fell asleep on the window side her head leaning to the wall and her legs hugged by her arms.
Morning came and she was greeted by the sunlight. Grumpily covering her closed eyes she slowly opened them. Adjusting to the light she stood up and yawned out loud while stretching her arms in the air.
"I fell asleep. . ." She said to herself as she rubbed each one of her eyes. A knock on the door stopped Kagome and made her walk to it. Opening the door she was greeted by a happy Katsumi and a bored looking Yoko.
"Ohayo~ Kagome-sama" Katsumi sang and both of them bowed before they stepped in the room
"Ohayo Katsumi, Ohayo Yoko" Kagome said with a smile.
"Did you sleep well Lady Kagome?" Yoko asked with a flat face.
"Kinda, I woke up in the middle of the night but got back to sleep again thanks to Sesshoumaru" Kagome said getting a shocked look from the passive Yoko and a gasp from Katsumi.
"He just calmed me down. I got a bit overwhelmed by things last night. He just helped me settle down" Kagome said with a stroke of pink across her cheeks. "I needed someone to talk to and luckily Sesshoumaru seemed to listen" Kagome said puffing up her right like a child would do.
"Well . . . breakfast will be served in a while and Sesshoumaru-sama would like to see you there. Would you like some help with the spring?" Katsumi said walking toward the door to the baths.
"I would love to! I've been longing for a hot bath in days!" Kagome happily smiled. Yoko walked by her side as she went in the springs. Katsumi closed the door for them and giggled as she saw Kagome's child like response to the magnificent indoor spring inside.
"Wait here and I'll fire up some wood" Yoko said to Kagome before leaving in a flash.
"Here are some of your usual bathing supplies. This indoor spring is the only other spring inside except for the other one that belongs to Sesshoumaru-sama" Katsumi said handing Kagome a wooden square basket with shampoo and soap in it.
"The room you are currently staying in is the room for the mate of the Lord. Seeing that you have the mark you completely fill in the puzzle" Katsumi said in a teasing voice
"I am not Sesshoumaru's mate. I just happen to have the mark by accident" Kagome said tripping over some words making Katsumi giggle. The spring suddenly bubbled and let loose hot evaporated air.
"Sorry if it took a while" Yoko said appearing near them
"Well since it is now hot you can finally have your awaited bath." Katsumi said with a smile as Kagome gleefully cheered. Kagome stripped her clothes and put it on the corner of the room where a shelf was found and extra bathing supplies was found. Slipping in the hot spring Kagome gave a sigh of relief.
"Won't you both dip in?" Kagome asked turning around to face Katsumi and Yoko. "You know it's kinda lonely if I'm the only one to enjoy this hot spring. Besides I usually take a bath with my friend Sango when I was still in Inuyasha's group." she added getting a giggle from Katsumi and a smile from Yoko. Both girls also stripped their clothing and got into the spring.
The three of them dipped their hairs wet and swam a bit in the large size of the spring. After a while the three retorted to just standing on the edge of the spring and just chatting as they enjoyed the water's caress.
"I kinda miss my old plain black hair" Kagome said as she played with the ends of her wet silver and pink hair. Katsumi and Yoko looked at her with a confusing look
"Before I got here I had jet black hair that went down to my back it was long but not as long as this. And these markings. Ughh I wish I can erase them from my face" Kagome said in irritation. Katsumi gasped while Yoko gave a slight jealous look.
"Without those markings Kagome-sama wouldn't be the Lady of the west. You must have looked beautiful when you were still a normal human mi'lady because if you weren't you wouldn't have turned this gorgeous." Katsumi said making Kagome blush
"Lady of the west. . .yea right. I don't want to be the lady of the west" Kagome said her head lying low as she looked at her face from the reflection of the clear water.
"How did you get those markings Lady Kagome?" Yoko asked her elbow placed on top of the edge and she leaned into it.
"Well I don't actually remember the change that happened but from Sesshoumaru's story it happened like . . ." Kagome continued to story the tale of her change. Katsumi and Yoko seemed to drown in her words rather than in the body of water they stood in.
"I remember that! the pillar of light that shot up . . that was caused by you?" Katsumi asked
"Apparently I was the one that caused that. . .You saw it from this palace? Wow . . ." Kagome said expressing her shock about her transformation
"Well looks like you won't be changing your hair back to black" Yoko said with her hair running through her short wet spiky wild orange hair
"But you are luckly Kagome-sama. I wish I could have silver hair like yours and Sesshoumaru-sama's hair." Katsumi said steping forward and her long pink hair flowing behind her.
"And the royal markings of the west. You should be proud that you have them" Yoko said smiling at Kagome who blushed.
"Well that's enough for the relaxation. I want to wash your hair!" Katsumi said as she grabbed a handful of Kagome's hair
"Well I'll take care of your back" Yoko said going out of the spring and getting their bath supplies. Kagome hesitated for a while but Yoko and Katsumi convinced her.
After their fun relaxing time in the springs Kagome found herself opened mouth at the many types and different colors of Kimono in front of her. A lone towel covered Kagome's nude body.
"Amazing" Kagome said as she walked and touch the cloth of the nearest kimono
The "closet" came as big as the spring in length and width and also in the elegance of its beauty. Golden bars and hangers filled with kimono tops and Hakamas. Shelves also filled with boxes of more formal Kimonos. Racks of different types of foot wear was also seen. In the middle of the room a glass round table was found with two antique wooden chairs. There were also some glass showcases filled with the most brilliant and breath-taking accessories.
"This closet does not only contains Kimono but also some dresses and your usual shirts and pants" Yoko said
"These clothes belonged to Sesshoumaru's mother before her Lady died a few years back." Katsumi said
"His mother? . . . Sugoi. . . to think everyday she wouldn't have to wear the same thing over and over again" Kagome looking at some of the kimono's and articles of clothing that lined up.
"Her lady liked very elegant looking kimono and if I remember exactly your body is just the same size as hers, hopefully the kimonos here will fit you perfectly." Katsumi said.
"Miyako said earlier that she already prepared a kimono fit for Lady Kagome. Well let's see what kimono she picked" Yoko said with a bit of excitement.
They walked to the glass table and saw a big white box on top of it. Kagome took the courage to be the one to open the box. The three girls let out gasps as Kagome lifted up the lid of the box and settled it aside. In the box lay a silver kimono. Carefully getting it out of its box the kimono held up by Katsumi the girls sighed in its beauty.
Katsumi and Yoko hurriedly pushed Kagome into the changing room and made her change into the kimono. With some help Kagome successfully fit into the beautiful kimono dress.
The silver kimono dress had black as its linings on the neck and on the sleeves. The sleeves reached three-fourths of her arm. The v cut of the kimono narrowed down showing a bit if her cleavage. The dress covered up to her knees and puffed up from her hips down to the knees. The kimono's silver cloth had parted the cloth into flaps showing inside the fluffy and many layered black lace skirt which caused the puffing effect of the lower kimono. The sleeves had prints of white and black honeycomb on its sleeves and down the lower part of the dress. This was all wrapped up by a cutely and tightly tied white obi.
"KAWAIII~!" Katsumi squealed at Kagome and gave her a short bear hug. Yoko ran to the shelves and got the matching foot wear of the kimono dress.
"Well you look absolutely breath taking Lady Kagome" Yoko grinned at her making Kagome blush
"What's with all these preparations? It's just breakfast with Sesshoumaru. . ."Kagome mumbled getting a giggle from katsumi
"Well it's because today you will be formally known and shown to be Sesshoumaru's mate. Kagome-sama will be presented to the whole palace later" A voice from the door said. Standing there was Miyako, Natsuki and Daichi.
"Looks like I got the right measurements!" Daichi said happily sounding a bit of a perv.
"Perv. ." Natsuki said glancing at Daichi and then walking to Kagome.
"Fo-formal Presentation?" Kagome stuttered saying it all out.
"Of course. The whole west shall know its new Lady" Miyako said walking to Natsuki's side and followed by Daichi.
"B-Bu-BUT~! I am not the LADY!" Kagome shouted with the color red staining her cheeks.
The door creaked and everyone snapped their head to the door. Sesshoumaru stood there with an angry expression on his face. Sesshoumaru wore the black version of his usual attire with the same silver cloth of Kagome's kimono dress. His swords and armor were no where to be seen.
"Who told you that you are the Lady of the west? Surely if I have picked a mate she would be more composed and calm than you. It is too early for chaos to run about. If you want to leave then leave, this Sesshoumaru has nothing to do with mere humans like you" Sesshoumaru said in a pissed off tone and his angry expression only firing it up more. He took a step forward and was about to turn around and leave.
"I would never want to be the mate of the ICE LORD!" Kagome shouted at Sesshoumaru smoke coming out of her ears and her face red in anger. Sesshoumaru stopped and in a blink of an eye he held Kagome on her neck making it hard for her to breathe.
"Humans like you should know their place. Never will I hear that from you ningen because this Sesshoumaru will never tie himself with a human as a mate" Sesshoumaru said closely to Kagome. So close that their noses were touching. Kagome wriggled out of his clutches but failed. Holding Seshoumaru's arms Kagome closed her eyes shut and gave out some of her miko powers.
It was just a blink of her purifying powers but it was enough to injure Sesshoumaru badly. His skin looked burnt and his face twisted in agony. When Sesshoumaru jerked his hand back he scratched Kagome on her face, his nails covered with some blood. Three bloody claw marks dripped with blood. Kagome's face froze in shock while Sesshoumaru held his arm in agony of the purification.
The others scrambled to help both of them. Kagome still frozen in shock just kept on looking at Sesshoumaru. Katsumi, Yoko and Natsuki helped Kagome while Daichi and Miyako to Sesshoumaru. The girls stopped the wound from bleeding and cleaned out the blood that dripped to Kagome's neck and some to the collar of her Kimono dress.
Sesshoumaru winced as he held his arm. The wound looked like it was trying to heal itself but something kept it from healing.
"I-I-I'm so-so-sorry. . ." Kagome said to Sesshoumaru tilting her head down making her bangs cover her eyes.
"You should know how to control your powers miko" Sesshoumaru said letting go of his hand and wincing a bit as the burnt place touched the cloth of his kimono.
"I can heal that for you. . . Purifying powers can stop a demon's regeneration abilities. . ."Kagome said looking at Sesshoumaru with a concerned look. She slowly walked to Sesshoumaru with the girls following her.
"Well that is true. . Better get that burn healed or you'll just suffer more" Daichi said slapping Sesshoumaru at the back making him growl and cast an evil glare at Daichi.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have used my purify powers on you. . .But that hurt ya know?" Kagome said as she took Sesshoumaru's injured hand. She held his hand with two of hers and held on tightly
"It might hurt a bit but just be patient" Kagome whispered looking down her hands then closing her eyes calmly breathing. Her powers flowed out of her hands and covered the burnt part of Sesshoumaru's hand.
A tingling sensation covered Sesshoumaru's arm stinging a bit at first then gently caressing his skin. Closing his eyes, he the pain slowly fading away. After a few minutes he felt Kagome remove her hands from his person. Opening his eyes he flexed his newly healed hand. Looking at it closely not a scar was left even a slight hint of a past injury was not seen.
Kagome felt her miko powers flow out but something different inside her stirred. As she kept on healing Sesshoumaru she felt something stinging inside her. She held the pain back in as she pushed herself to heal Sesshoumaru more. Biting her lip her breathing grew heavy and with the last exhale she finished healing the burn. Hurriedly she cut off her miko powers but it seemed to just flow out on its own.
"Kagome!" Katsumi shouted in a concerned shocked voice. Kagome staggered backward and fell to the floor butt first.
". . Ughhh" Kagome groaned out as she closed her eyes tightly.
"Kagome!" The others shouted as they gathered around her. Katsumi helped her sit upright, Kagome moaned and groaned in pain.
"She has to cut off her spiritual abilities!" Miyako said to the others, Kagome growled deeply.
"I knew there would be complications! But I never thought . ." Daichi said out loud.
"Kagome-sama! You have to stop it from flowing out" Natsuko said.
"You have to let it settle Kagome-sama!" Miyako said demandingly
"Control it Lady Kagome!" Daichi said ordering her
". . .I-I-I c-ca-n't . . . hu-h-ur-ts" Kagome managed to say out. She bit on her lips hard causing blood to drip out. Her eyes tightly closed and her hands and feet made spasms every now and then. After a few breaths Kagome managed to lessen the spiritual powers she gave out.
"Grrr. . .ughhh" Kagome's lips parting and deep growls resounding.
"Oh no no no no. . .Lady Kagome you have to stop it now!" Daichi yelled out

"The castle of the West" Sango said as she eyed the magnificent structure. Miroku let himself out a low whistle as he too became awed by the castle
"Tch. Place hasn't changed" Inuyasha grunted out as he walked to the gates
"You lived here Inuyasha?" Shippo asked
"My mother and I went here and stayed for a few stinking months. I'm glad I didn't stay here" Inuyasha puffed out.
Sango and Miroku went down from Kirara and walked behind Inuyasha. Coming closer the gate they saw guards stationed there. Shippo clung to Miroku's leg tight.
"Who's there?" One of the guards shouted out. As the group came closer the guards let out gasps of shock.
"Prince Inuyasha!" the guards shouted in unison bowing quickly to Inuyasha.
"We're going in" Inuyasha said as his eye twitched
"We're with PRINCE Inuyasha" Sango said with a giggle as Shippo and Miroku laughed
"Never thought that Inu-baka would be a prince. . ."Shippo whispered getting a growl from the hanyou. Walking into the palace, gasps and mutters came around as the Inu tachi proceeded to just walk.
"Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked from one of the low servants
"Lady Kagome is in the royal wing, Prince Inuyasha" the servant bowed down before briskly walking away from them
"Lady Kagome?" Sango said looking at Miroku who just shrugged.
"The royal wing? What she doing there?" Inuyasha said before walking fast to the wing's direction.
"What is the Royal Wing?" Shippo asked
"It's where Sesshoumaru stays" Inuyasha growled out.

"Miko" Sesshoumaru said going to Kagome's back. His hand wrapped around her waist and he felt her head lean to his chest.
"I-I-I. . can't.." Her voice changed as she spoke. Kagome's body tensed and then she felt herself let go.
"Too … m-much" Kagome whispered as her hands gripped and clawed her chest as if something were chocking her.
"Sess-s-houmaru. ." Kagome gasped out as Sesshoumaru gripped her harder and bended down close to her face. The smell of her blood flooded Sesshoumaru, the still bloody claw marks he left oozed out blood.
"KAGOME!" A loud angry voice yelled from the hallways. Daichi and the girls immediately stood up and ran outside from the closet room.
"Why is Inuyasha here?" Daichi yelled as the group stopped in the doors of the room. Katsumi and Yoko unsheathed their ninjatos holding the hilts tight.
"Shall we stop them my Lord?" Yoko asked
"No. I bet Inuyasha and his friends are here to see Kagome-san" Daichi said holding the door knob.
"You four should go to Kagome-chan and Sesshoumaru-kun. I'll welcome the unexpected guests" Daichi said while slowly turning the door knob.
"There are so many rooms!" Shippo exclaimed
"And so many hallways! I wonder if they get lost in this palace. . ." Miroku muttered
"She is here! I can smell it" Inuyasha said as he briskly walked
"KAGOME-CHAN!~" Sango yelled making the others look at her. Realizing what she did she blushed and continued to walk.
"Disturbing the morning of others I see. . ." Double doors opened and revealed Daichi.
"You haven't changed a bit Inuyasha. Kagome-sama is currently occupied" he said with a smirk
"You! Where did you take Kagome? What happened to her? That wench is mine only!" Inuyasha said with an accusing finger pointed at Daichi.
"You may see for yourself but take note: Don't ever call Lady Kagome like that again" Daichi said with his voice dripping with venom.
"By the way, the name's Daichi. I'm Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's uncle" He said with a smile as the others gawked at Daichi
Following Daichi the group hesitantly went in the room. Gasping at its largeness and beauty the were greeted by Miyako who stood by the closet room's door.
"Miyako has she settled down? Is everything okay in there?" Daichi whispered to Miyako who shook her head lowly.
"Well it looks like we have to wait out here. . .uhh Kagome-chan is inside the closet room" Daichi said to the group.
"LET US SEE HER!" Inuyasha shouted with a growl as his fists shook in anger.
"If you continue to shout the consequences would be fatal." Yoko said coming out from the closet room.
"Is she injured? I can smell Kagome's blood. ." Shippo said looking up to Daichi. Inuyasha growled deep as he tried hard to stop himself from going into blind rage.
"She's starting to settle down but the pain is too much for her . . Katsumi and Natsuko tries to calm her down to make it easier for her. Even with Sesshoumaru-sama's help her beast seems not to notice it" Yoko said to Miyako and Daichi
"I'll go and try to talk to her" Miyako said tapping her point finger to her forhead.
"What's happening? Is she alright?" Sango asked walking forward to Daichi
"Please! Kagome-chan is like a sister to me!" Sango said grabbing Daichi's arm.
"Lady Kagome might not look the same to you all. Something happened on her way here with Sesshoumaru-sama and Rin-chan" Daichi said holding Sango's hands a giving it a squeeze before letting it go.
"Please Lord Daichi might we see Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked in a pleading way.
"We have to see her!" Shippo perked up. Inuyasha exhaled deep and walked to the door only to be stopped by Yoko.
"Lord?" Yoko said casting a look of concern.
"Let them in. They are after all her friends and they might help us with Kagome-san" Daichi said walking to the door opening it.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha burst in the doors.
Kagome lay on the floor being supported by Sesshoumaru. Her head leaned to his chest and Sesshoumaru's arm wrapped around Kagome's waist. Kagome's cheek had bloody claw marks and dried blood on her neck. She looked like she was in pain with her eyes still tightly closed and her hand grabbing a fistful of Sesshoumaru's hakama.
At Kagome's side a worried Yoko and Natsuki sat. Standing behind them a busy Miyako stood her eyes closed and lips held in a tight line.
"Kagome-chan!" Sango rushed in to Kagome's side only to be blocked by Katsumi and Natsuko.
"SESSHOUMARU!" Inuyasha shouted but Sesshoumaru didn't even cast a glance at him.
"Don't come any closer" Natsuko said in a serious voice
"Kagome-chan changed. . ." Sango said
"Stand away from her" Daichi said to all of them. They immediately stood up and walked away from Kagome's spot. Daichi himself also walked away and went to them.
"Kagome's sides are fighting inside right now. Her miko and demon parts are trying to dominate one another, trying to see which side Kagome will choose and stick to." Diachi said
"Miko and Demon . . ." Sango said "Is that even possible. ." She whispered as she examined Kagome
"Kagome doesn't look human anymore" Shippo said
"Her spiritual powers might be hurting her demon side or vice versa. ." Miroku said
"Right now Miyako is trying to talk to Kagome telepathically." Daichi said. Kagome groaned out loud her hand clinging to Sesshoumaru's clothes.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted taking a step forward, Daichi's hand blocking his way.
"Sesshoumaru-sama is the one she needs" Daichi said
"What? Why!" Inuyasha asked angrily
"Inuyasha take a closer look at Kagome." Daichi commanded. Inuyasha and the gang all took a look at Kagome.
"No. . .It can't be." Inuyasha said his eyes covered by his bangs.
"Lady Kagome bares the mark of the west" Miroku said
"She's the new Lady and mate of Lord Sesshoumaru" Daichi said. His anger took control and Inuyasha held Daichi's collar.
"How can that be…." Inuyasha whispered his head still hung low.
"That Inuyasha . . Even we still don't know" Daichi said holding Inuyasha's fist and yanking it off.
She was sweating heavily and her ragged breaths made Sesshoumaru a bit worried. Though he wouldn't admit it he felt a bit guilty with what he had done earlier. Touching the crescent moon mark on her forehead seem to relax him a bit.
"Sesshou. ." Kagome whispered out as she slowly slipped into a dark unconscious state.
