Hero

"You're joking?" Sesshomaru asked. 'Is my brother really this foolish?' he though. Kagome shook her head in deaf. All Sesshomaru could see was worry. 'I wonder if she still loves him? I bet she does…she'd never get this upset if I were the one in danger,' Sesshomaru thought bitterly.

Kagome noticed his sad look, and felt sorry for him. 'I am giving Inuyasha way too much attention. I owe Sesshomaru a lot…but he never says anything,' she thought. "Are you okay?" she finally asked.

Sesshomaru nodded his head. "Yes. It's just I don't like seeing you so upset…especially over someone like Inuyasha." Then added in his head, 'He does not deserve you, I do.'

Kagome shifted on his back.

"Do you want me to fly myself?" she asked.

"No. You are in no condition to fly. I don't want you flying off somewhere all by yourself," Sesshomaru answered sourly. Kagome nodded and rested her head on his neck.

"Do you think he is okay?" she dared ask.

Knowing that she needed all the cheering up in the world, he answered, "I believe my brother is fully capable of taking care of himself. He should know better to go off on his own in his state. Do not blame his foolishness on yourself. You do not need the pressure."

When Sesshomaru did not hear anything in return, he knew he said something right. Suddenly, Sesshomaru caught a familiar scent and immediately changed directions. Kagome noticed Sesshomaru speed up and change directions and knew something was up.

"What is it, Sesshomaru?" she asked.

"I smell Inuyasha," he said, his usual monotone voice returning. Kagome yelped and hung on as he ran faster than all other demons and humans alike. She didn't like the way he was running so fast…she knew that Inuyasha was not someone Sesshomaru liked. 'Why are you going so fast?' she wondered.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked. "Are you sure you smell Inuyasha?"

"Positive."

"Okay…" Kagome said. "Why are you running so fast? You and I both know that someone else is there, otherwise you be going slower than a snail."

Sesshomaru sighed. "I cannot keep anything from you, can I?" When Kagome shook her head, he told her what else he smelled. "I do smell Inuyasha, but the other person I smell is…Naraku."

Kagome's jaw dropped.

"You're kidding me?" Sesshomaru just shook his head, his eyes daring to turn red. 'What is he doing here? I have a very bad feeling about this…' he thought. Kagome kept silent until they arrived in front of the Sacred Tree.

In front of the tree sat Inuyasha. He was sleeping silently underneath it. On the side of his stomach, was a scratch with blood pouring blood? Kagome froze at the sight of the motionless Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. Sesshomaru tried to stop her, but she ran right into Naraku's trap. As Kagome got to Inuyasha, someone blocked her path.

i am so high
i can hear heaven
i am so high
i can hear heaven
no heaven, no heaven don't hear me
and they say that a hero can save us
i'm not gonna stand here and wait
i'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
watch as they all fly away

"Move!" Finally, she decided to look up and see what she was trying so desperately to move. It was Naraku. she cried. But the rock hard figure would not budge, no matter how hard she tried to move it.

someone told me love will all save us
but how can that be, look what love gave us
a world full of killing, and blood-spilling
that world never came

Before Kagome could move back, Naraku grabbed her shoulders and started draining away all of Kagome's strength. All Kagome's power was slowly fading away, along with her sight. The last thing she before she fainted was a tall figure with broad shoulders, silver hair, and golden orbs.

and they say that a hero can save us
i'm not gonna stand here and wait
i'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
watch as they all fly away

"Inuyasha…" she whispered. But before she could reach the ground, a large pair of hands caught her. Picking up the distraught Kagome, the figure walked away. Left behind was Naraku's puppet, broken in half. The mystery savior carried Kagome in his arms and lugged behind what he would call a bunch of wasted time. But Kagome loved this person a lot, so he brought him along.

now that the world isn't ending
its love that i'm sending to you

"I wonder if It if possible to be unlovable?" Sesshomaru asked the silenced forest around him. "Kagome doesn't love me…she never will." And quietly and as quickly as possible, he brought Kagome and Inuyasha back to her house.

it isn't the love of a hero
and that's why i fear it won't do

Although no one was there to witness it, for the first time, Sesshomaru shed tears. All he could think was 'How could someone love such a hideous beast? How could someone so pure and innocent love someone tainted and guilty like me? How…how…how?'

and they say that a hero can save us
i'm not gonna stand here and wait
i'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
watch as they all fly away
and they're watching us
(watching us)
as they all fly away

Somewhere Else…

"Kanna, you are dismissed."

"Thank you, Master," Kanna said in her emotionless voice. Then, she exited her masters quarters just like she was told.

"What do I have to do to gain that priestess's power? I need that in order to live eternal life and be unbeatable," Naraku said angrily. Apparently, things weren't going quite as planned.

"I need to come up with a better plan…attacking Inuyasha on the moon-less night was an excellent idea, but now that's over with. How am I going to get that power? Not even the Shikon Jewel is capable of giving me that kind of power. That dumb Sesshomaru is always getting in the way, but now that Inuyasha is back, so will he." Naraku cursed.

"Kagura!" Naraku yelled. Instantly, Kagura appeared.

"What, master?"

"Kagura, I want you to find out about Sesshomaru." When Kagura gave him a stupid look, he sighed then continued. "I want to know everything about him. From his weakness' to his strengths. Understand?" Kagura nodded her head and left quietly.

"Let's see what dirty little secrets Sesshomaru is hiding behind his hard exterior."
