Chapter Eight: Problems Arise

X+X+X

When she woke up, Kagome looked around herself and her eyes landed on a red-haired female changing her bandages that were soaked in blood…her blood. She flinched as sudden pain ripped through her and she placed a hand on top of the clawed one that was hovering over her wounded side.

"Milady?" The red demon questioned.

"Water, please," Kagome whispered in a weak, dry tone.

"Yes," the demon said as she got Kagome a glass of water and also had something small in her hand.

"Here Milady, drink this and please take the pill as it will help with healing." As she helped Kagome to sit up to drink her water, the female watched

Kagome closely when she took the pill.

"Thank you. What's your name?" Kagome asked.

"Koshi," the red-haired demon replied.

"Okay. Koshi…can you please tell me where I am?" Kagome asked as Koshi was just finishing her work to wrap the new bandages.

"You are in Milord's castle. He came in and placed you in the hospital wing to help you get well," Koshi replied.

"Thank you," Kagome said in response, continuing to look around the room as her mind began to wander.

"Milady, I'll be right back," Koshi stated, walking out of the room.

Moments later, Koshi walked back in with Sesshomaru not too far behind her. They both walked over to Kagome.

"Milady, do you require anything else? Food perhaps?" Koshi asked.

"Yes, that would be wonderful. Thank you," Kagome replied gently to her.

As Koshi left the room bowing low at the waist, Kagome looked at the bed and wished she had some clothes on and that Sesshomaru was further away from her. Even when Kagome forgave him, she was still frightened of his beast that could come out at any time. Sighing, she turned to him and asked, "Sesshomaru?"

"Lady Kagome?" he replied deeply.

"Please, just Kagome," she urged, the words rushing out.

"Kagome…how are you feeling?" Sesshomaru asked hesitantly, testing her name on his tongue.

"Sore and still tired," Kagome replied back.

"Once again Kagome, I am truly sorry. I wish this never happened to you or anyone," Sesshomaru said, looking down at her and into her soulful eyes.

"Sesshomaru, stop saying you are sorry because if I hear that one more time, I'll purify you!" Kagome ordered, glaring daggers at him.

Taking a step closer to her, he saw her body go tense. "Kagome…this Sesshomaru needs to see the mark my beast put on you," the lord said calmly, softly as he stepped closer until he could see the bent down slowly as to not startle Kagome. Seeing the mark on her neck, he sighed and moved away just as slowly as he moved toward her.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"What can our pups do?" Sesshomaru asked suddenly.

After waking up, Inuyasha howled into the air as he sniffed the ground for

his nephew's scent. Nothing came to him after ten minutes, and he gave up with a large growl. Naraku would pay for taking his nephew. Now he needed to tell Kagome and he wasn't really looking forward to it at all. Looking at his friends and sighing again, he stood up and headed over to them.

"Sango, Miroku, Shippo," Inuyasha started.

The three of them woke up immediately, jumping and looking around for Kagura but seeing nothing.

"What happened?" Sango asked.

"He's gone." Inuyasha explained to them what he needed to do, before he walked slowly back to the Western Castle to tell Kagome the bad news. Having his ears flat against his head, he turned to his friends with tears coming back his face.

"Inuyasha," Sango whispered, walking up to him. Placing her hand on his shoulder, Sango opened her mouth to calm him. "This wasn't your fault, Inuyasha. We're all to blame." Miroku added on, "Inuyasha, there was nothing you could do without hurting Mizuki at the same time. Now, however, we have to tell Kagome once we find her and get them back from Naraku." Inuyasha nodded, but he still felt guilty.

Riding on the back of Kilala, they came across the castle much sooner than they expected. That was when they all noticed the army preparing for battle. Landing on the ground, soldiers circled them quickly, their swords at the ready.

"Who are you?" one of the soldiers, Taika, asked as he stepped towards the group.

"Where are Kagome and Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked, drawing his sword.

"What do you want from the lord and lady of these lands?" Taika questioned.

"Just get them," Inuyasha growled, annoyance creeping into his voice.

Minutes later, Sesshomaru's scent wafted towards Inuyasha nose, causing him to wrinkle it in disgust.

"Half-breed, what is it this time?" Sesshomaru's deep voice cut through the crowd. At his entrance, the army saluted the lord as he passed them to reach the group.

"Sesshomaru," Inuyasha stated, as he placed his sword back in its sheath. He then got on his hands and knees and whimpered in the Inu language.

Sesshomaru howled out loudly in furious growls at Inuyasha, but never attacked him. Instead, his eyes bled red and showed fear for the first time in centuries. Emotions he hadn't felt in centuries swept through him.

"Sesshomaru, where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, breaking Sesshomaru's trance.

"In the hospital ward, healing from her wounds," he replied curtly, composing himself again. After he had gotten a hold of himself, Sesshomaru sniffed the air and smelled blood from Kagome's friends. Turning around, he started walking back towards his home until he noticed that his half-brother hadn't moved from his place on the ground.

"Inuyasha, stand up. Be the Inu demon that father wanted you to be," Sesshomaru said. "Come with this Sesshomaru, you are all wounded." Once again he continued to walk back to the ward where his mate lay resting, while the humans and his half-brother followed behind him.
