Chapter nine – Hearts burst into flame
Rin had seen what had happened between Sesshomaru and Kagome and she was pleased and secretly hopeful it would become more. Her joy was short lived when a guard came rushing into to the palace and straight to the lord who was in his study.
"We found him, or more he found us. He is on his way." Sesshomaru knew without asking who he was and quickly left the room commanding Jaken to care for the women. He was not pleased to see that as he looked out the window, the woman were outside the palace sitting against a tree reading and hurried his pace.
InuYasha had been told by a spider that Kagome was alive and with his brother. Not only had she cheated on him, but she was now with his brother. His mortal enemy, she mocked him and would pay. He could smell her with ease as he ran up the mountain, her wound was still severe. His red eyes widened, it would be fun to tear her apart and rip her heart out. As she had tore his. He could see two women sitting under a tree just below the palace gates. His heart leapt when he saw it was the woman he loved, no had loved. He flexed his hands and bore his claws, as he swung at her.
"Kagome!" Rin had screamed when she saw InuYasha appear ready to strike Kagome.
Kagome had turned and saw the rush of red toward her and quickly moved out the way, not quick enough as his claws tore at her arm leaving a gash. InuYasha was then thrown into a tree and both girls looked to see Sesshomaru with his eyes glowing.
"Get inside" He growled and Rin helping Kagome rushed into the palace gates.
Kagome looked back before the gates were closed. Would this be the last time she was InuYasha?
"You're with a human now, unlike you." InuYasha taunted as he showed his fangs.
"Silence you half breed do not assume you know anything." Sesshomaru growled as he flew at his brother. They clashed as both tried to claw the other. Flashes of green and yellow could be seen and the sound of metal on metal. Sesshomaru finally had enough and had pulled out Baksaiga, Kagome from the window had seen this and screamed
"Nooooo!" She rushed out the palace gate and tried to grab at Sesshomaru's sword arm.
Bewildered he threw her off and raised the sword to his brother's neck.
InuYasha attacked again and Sesshomaru struck.
"Nooooo!" screamed Kagome again as green lighting filled the air.
Once the lighting cleared Kagome gasped, InuYasha was crouched down, still alive. His sword sheath had protected him, thought I wouldn't be able to a second time. He took one look at her before disappearing into the trees. Kagome felt relief. She didn't want him to die as she still cared after all he had done. There had been too much between them for her to want him dead.
"You will not interfere like that again woman" growled an angry voice.
Kagome looked up from where she lay into angry red eyes.
"I'm sorry" She whispered "I didn't want you to kill him."
He let out and angry growl and turned away from her.
"You still feel for him after all he has done?" He said spitefully
"He was a huge part of my life, I couldn't live with myself had I let him die despite what happened. There was too much between us for me to stop caring. Even if I stopped loving" She whispered though she knew he would hear.
Strange the jealousy he had felt when she had rushed to save his brother's life, yet how easy it went away knowing she didn't love him anymore. A small hand touched his arm.
"I'm sorry, really I am grateful you saved me"
He turned to see her looking up at him with tears in her eyes. As one fell he brushed it away with his hand. Then pulled her close into an embrace she shook violently as more tears fell and he held her until she was still not caring for the servants who would see his actions. He did not care what they thought. If they spoke up, he would kill them. He had feelings for this girl, feelings he had never had before.
Kagome felt safer than she had in her whole life as Sesshomaru held her close, so close she could hear his heart beating. Her heart tingled and she was afraid. Was she developing feelings for this god like demon? She thought of the kiss they had shared. How it had made her feel. Her heart had stopped and she had fainted in pleasure. She was human, a human that was falling in love with a full fledged demon. Yes a human who would have her heart broken if she continued down this path. He would never love her. As she thought this, she felt a hand under her chin as her face was pulled up to his. Not again she thought, as her heart melted in anticipation. His lips crashed against hers in a passionate kiss, his tongue finding its way into her mouth as it began exploring. She yielded to his kiss and timidly battled his tongue with her own. He pulled her face close to his and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her breathing became heavy and her knee's weak, he gripped her tighter to give her support. He couldn't get enough, she tasted so sweet and wanted more he wanted to take her to his rooms and. He quickly broke the kiss and flew up into the air. He had to get away. He had nearly thought of mating the girl. Kissing a human was one thing, but to mate with one?
Kagome stood catching her breath as she watched him fly away. She could feel his servants eyes on her back she looked down, refusing to make eye contact. This was bad. She was in love with the lord of the west.
