Kagome wakes from her unconsciousness with a start which causes the stitches in her chest to jerk and she bites her lip in pain. She looks down at her chest and notices a thin white sheet covering her exposed chest.

"This has got to be the best excuse to get out of training." Sesshomaru says from his spot up against the wall.

"Trust me, I would've tried a different way to get out of training." She remarks back at him. He holds back a smirk.

"Hn."

"I-I'm sorry… Sesshomaru-sama." She says quietly as she looks down at her lap. Sesshomaru raises an elegant eyebrow at her sudden change in moods.

"There is nothing to feel remorse about. Unless you regret purifying your attacker?"

"That's not it… It's just that… I've been a non-stop burden to you and your palace." Kagome doesn't try to stop the tear as it falls down her cheek. Before she knows it, Sesshomaru is kneeling down beside her and cupping her chin in one of his hands while the other is supporting his weight as he towers over her. He uses his thumb to wipe the tear as it falls down.

"You are no such thing so do not think for one second that you are. I requested your presence for a reason. You, Miko, have already proven your worth to not only me, but to my servants. Being apart of a pack means always being there for each other when we need it." His honey golden eyes bore down into her sapphire blue eyes which causes her heart to quicken its' pace and make her cheeks warm up in the process.

"I just feel like I'm an annoyance." She says quietly. She couldn't help but notice how close their faces were and how if she twitched her hand, she'd be touching his hand. Sesshomaru follows her eyes to their hands and slightly moves it away, much to her dismay.

"Saying that you are an annoyance is annoying, Kagome." He says as he sits back and stands up. "I'll see you in the dojo in the morning." He walks towards the door and leaves, leaving a very flustered miko.

Before she could even breathe in, the healer walks in with a strange cup full of green liquid.

"Please drink this Miko-sama. It will heal your wounds quickly." Kagome takes the cup out of her hand and inspects the contents before sniffing the strange liquid.

"What is this?"

"Sesshomaru-dono demanded that you be fed this everyday for the next two moon cycles." The young racoon youkai says as she nods towards the liquid. Kagome sniffs the drink and gags at the smell.

"You must drink every drop." The racoon youkai says without trying to hide her agitation at the stubborn Miko. Kagome sighs and gulps the green stuff down. Once she reached the bottom of the cup and swallowed it, she felt her throat burn along with her stomach.

"Gah! What is in that stuff?" Kagome asks as she hands the cup back to the healer and gags again.

"When Sesshomaru-dono wants you to know, then he will tell you, Miko-sama." The healer grabs the cup and leaves in a rush, leaving Kagome in the room by herself.

"Thank you?" She asks herself as she rolls her eyes at the rudeness. She looks down at her bandaged chest and sighs. Suddenly, she feels a burning sensation under the bandages and winces. Kagome unwraps the large white gauze and gaps at the healing wound.

"How in the-?! Last night I was almost torn in half! Now it looks like I was scratched by a cat!" She lightly touches the wound and surprisingly doesn't wince. She guides her finger over to where the injury starts at which is on her right breast.

"Sesshomaru…"

"So the Shikon No Tama Miko lives another day, eh?" The cocky blue haired general says as he leans his muscular frame against the doorway into Sesshomaru's study.

"Hn."

"What a hero the great stone cold killer machine is!"

"Hn."

"Not only a strong Inu, but also such a caring and compassionate male he is to his female." Takao smirks as Sesshomaru growls and glares at him.

"This Sesshomaru will not play into your tricks." He says as he continues writing the scroll he was previously working on. He has been writing scrolls informing the lords and ladies of the recent attack in his palace, until his nuisance of a general came in and started antagonizing him.

"Spare me, Sesshomaru-sama. I heard your talk with the little miko. I could smell the sweet scent of her arousal from a mile away. I couldn't help myself, I thought the youngin needed some… assistance." Takao chuckles as Sesshomaru slams his hand on his desk and snarls.

"Calm down. I'm not an idiot. I can tell when a youkai… nevermind." He waves his hand and walks out of the room with a large goofy grin spread across his face.

"Gotcha." He says with a smirk as he turns down a hall and towards the training grounds. He has been increasing the security both within the castle and outside of the castle. Attacks driven by the dragon youkai have increased greatly, and Takao was having none of it.

As he opens the door that leads to the outside, he was close to being plowed of the way by Sesshomaru's mother, Inukimi. He watches her use her youkai speed down the halls and towards the healers room.

"That'll be interesting." He says to himself with a shrug and walks towards the resting guards. "Get off your asses and man the gates!" He barks at them, successfully waking them up. "Sesshomaru-dono's female was attacked last night due to lack of security! Now if you don't learn how to do your job right, then you will be fed to the dragons. That is a fact." He says with a snarl.

A/N: Heyyyy… so this is a short chapter that I honestly didn't even bother counting how many words I have. Lol. Buuuuut that doesn't mean that I'm tired of this story! It's just that a lot of stuff (Bad stuff) has been going on and blah blah blah.

I am currently working on another story also! I'd appreciate it if you all read it once it comes out! LOVE YOUUUUU :)
