Disclaimer: I do not own Sesshomaru, but I do own Satomi.

Note: I did not write this story about Sesshomaru and Kagome. I added my own character. I wanted to test my writing skills plus this story has been bothering me, so I decided to write it.

If you don't like that I added my own character, please refrain from reading it. I would appreciate criticism and suggestions. If my story gets enough reviews, I will post a Sesshomaru and Kagome story.

A Rival, a Friend, or Someone to Love

Chapter 11

Sesshomaru sped out of his study faster than the eye could see. He had to get to that clearing before it was too late. He didn't see anyone in the vision, but he did see a lot of blood.

Never in his life had he seen that much. Whoever's blood that was must be huge. They would have to be the size of his true demon form or bigger to shed that much blood.

Arriving at the clearing in only a matter of minutes, Sesshomaru was completely unprepared for what he saw next.

There, standing in the middle of the clearing, was Satomi. She was twice as big as Sesshomaru when in his true form. He had never seen a wolf that size before. Not only that, but there was another wolf, and dark brown one, that was the exact same size.

Both wolves were baring their fangs and had the look of hate radiating from there eyes. Sesshomaru had never been so scared in his entire life. When he looked up at Satomi he could see her eyes had changed to the pitch black depths just as before. The other wolf had red eyes, similar to his own when he transformed. But instead of having any irises like Sesshoamru did, this wolf had pure red eyes and that was it.

Sesshomaru then caught scent of all the blood that filled the air. Most of it didn't smell like Satomi, so it must belong to the other wolf.

While scanning the battle field, Sesshomaru failed to notice that the attention was now on him.

The brown wolf looked in Sesshomaru's direction. As he did, an evil smirk grew in his eyes, for that wolf had just read Sesshomaru's soul.

"Finally realized you are no match for me?" growled Satomi. Satomi didn't realize the real reason why he was looking off into the distance, but something told her she wouldn't like it when she found out.

Stepping a little closer to where he stood, Satomi was intent on finding out what had his attention. When she followed his gaze Satomi could feel her heart dropping down to her stomach.

There, at the border of the forest, Satomi locked eyes with Sesshoamru. Satomi wanted to cry. "Well dear sister, it looks like you have finally found someone to love your pathetic self." growled out the brown wolf.

'Sister? Then that means….' By now Sesshomaru noticed that the focus has been turned on him. He also managed to catch what the brown wolf said. Everything is making sense. That brown wolf is Satomi's half-brother, Teiken.

Not wasting anymore time, Teiken charged at Sesshomaru. 'Obviously this demon means a lot to her. So killing him will kill her.'

Before Teiken even got ten feet from Sesshomaru, Satomi jumped in front of him. "Aww isn't that cute, Satomi is protecting her mate." teased Teiken.

Before satomi has a chance to say anything back, Teiken maneuvered around her and managed to strike Sesshomaru.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Satomi as she turned around and saw Sesshomaru lying on the ground in his own blood.

Suddenly, white flames surrounded Satomi. Her eyes got a red hue to them and the flames where scorching everything they touched.

"How can this be? If he dies, you die." said Teiken as he looked at the enraged Satomi.

"You worthless piece of crap, you will die and burn in hell for what you did!" shouted Satomi.

Teiken had never seen such power before. He could literally taste it, it was so strong.

Terrified to the very bone, Teiken tried to get away. But alas, he failed miserably. For the second her tried to move, Satomi had released a huge amount of power that disintergrated him on the spot.

"You are a worthless demon who does not deserve to live. If you have taken the time to sniff the air, you would know that he is not my mate." said Satomi as she stared at the spot where he once stood.

Sesshomaru woke up feeling the worst he has ever felt. His head was throbbing with so much pain he thought he would black out at any moment.

Focusing his eyes, Sesshomaru noticed he was lying in a bed of fur, moss, leaves, and had blankets on him. The bed smelled wonderful. It smelled just like her.

Suddenly the smell became stronger. Just then Satomi walked in. She sensed Sesshomaru was awake and walked over to check on him. The entire time he was out, she had to keep a distressed Rin from running to him.

"I'm glad you awake." said Satomi in a soothing voice.

Sesshomaru looked up at her. He could tell she had been crying. Not only did he smell them, but her eyes were all puffy and red. Sitting up, Sesshomaru pulled Satomi towards himself. Once she was resting in his lap, Sesshomaru held her cheek in his hand. "I thought I had lost you." said Sesshomaru as he leaned down and captured her lips.

Satomi could feel the tears sliding down her cheeks as she kissed him back. Feeling the tears on his own cheek, Sesshomaru parted and looked down at Satomi.

"What is the matter? Why do you cry?" asked a concerned Sesshomaru.

Satomi could see it in his eyes as she gazed at him. But she still was having a hard time believing that he could feel that for her.

"I thought he killed you. I was sad because I thought I was never going to get to tell you how I feel." said Satomi as more tears streamed down her face.

Sesshomaru continued to wipe away the tears.

Sesshomaru, for once, dropped his ice mask and hugged Satomi tightly against him. "How did I survive?"

Satomi knew he would ask that eventually, but she didn't think she could tell him why. But now she had no choice. "My love…" whispered Satomi.

Though she whispered it, he did catch it. "What?" asked Sesshomaru.

'I know he heard me.' thought a peeved Satomi. "My love saved you. Because I loved you so much, my powers protected you from death. Unfortunately they didn't protect you from the wounds, but I healed those. Also, let me heal your inner wounds." said Satomi as she placed her hands on either side of his head.

Soon the splitting headache was gone and Sesshomaru felt better than ever.

Once Satomi lowered her hands, Sesshomaru flipped them so he was on top.

"I love you too Satomi. I always did, gut I refused to accept it. When I was dying, I finally realized how much you meant to me. So now I am not letting you go." said Sesshomaru with a smirk on his face.
