Chapter 13
"Thank you, Sesshomaru, for this amazing time, I really enjoyed it," Kagome said as she began to stand up from the small tea table. As she stood, she realized her legs had become numb as she was enjoying her tea with Sesshomaru. Kagome began to fall forward, "Dammit," she thought as she fell, in an instant, she felt strong arms embrace her as her face came in contact with Sesshomaru's chest. Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru looking down at her, her face flushed a deep red as she averted her eyes.
"Thank you, Sesshomaru," Kagome said as she looked back up into his golden eyes, she saw so many emotions in his golden orbs that she hadn't seen before. As she peered into his eyes her eyes began to soften and a smile leaked from her lips. "Ah, Lord Inuyasha, I don't think you should-," a maid could be heard saying outside the door before the door opened suddenly. Inuyasha stood there, staring at the two as they stood there in each other's embrace.
"I-Inuyasha," Kagome stuttered as she looked at him, her face turning a deep red. Sesshomaru stood there unfazed by his brother's sudden appearance on the outside but in the inside he was annoyed at him for ruining the moment. Inuyasha flushed at he looked upon Sesshomaru holding Kagome in his arms. Without even thinking, Inuyasha lunged at them and grabbed Kagome's wrist. He pulled Kagome out of Sesshomaru's arms, "I'm so sorry, Lord Sesshomaru, I tried to stop him," the maid said in a hurried and nervous tone as she explained herself to her lord as Kagome was yanked out of the room.
Kagome turned her head and looked at Sesshomaru with an apologetic look on her face as she disappeared behind the door with Inuyasha. Inuyasha forcibly pulled Kagome down the hall, Kagome winced when the grip on her wrist tightened, "Ah, Inuyasha, you're hurting me," Kagome exclaimed. Inuyasha suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway, Kagome almost ran into his back, he kept his back to her as he looked at the ground. "He seems troubled," Kagome thought as she looked at Inuyasha with concern, even after the terrible things he had said to her.
Inuyasha released her wrist before turning on his heel and embracing Kagome. Kagome was surprised by this sudden action but said nothing, Inuyasha hid his face in her shoulder and didn't say anything, Kagome looked at him with worry still on her face. "I'm so sorry," Inuyasha said, "I'm so sorry for everything I said, I didn't mean any of it," Inuyasha said in a regretful tone. "I shouldn't have said any of those horrible things to you, I just said the most hurtful things I could think of," Inuyasha said as he hugged Kagome even tighter. The sincere apology from Inuyasha made Kagome's eyes begin to water as she hugged Inuyasha back.
As Kagome opened her mouth to speak, a loud crash could be heard as a large cloud of dust and dirt appeared in the hallway that Inuyasha and Kagome were in. From the sudden disruption, Inuyasha held Kagome closer to him as he covered her from the debris. Inuyasha turned his head to look behind him, he immediately noticed the gaping hole that was now in the wall. They watched as the dust settled, when Kagome saw who was standing there, she couldn't help but gasp as her eyes looked upon Michiru. "M-Michiru," Kagome said with a shaky and hesitant voice, Inuyasha looked at Kagome, confused about who it was that was standing in front of them.
Inuyasha cautiously released Kagome but continued to stand in front of her, hoping to protect her if the demoness in front of them was to become a threat. Kagome looked between Inuyasha and Michiru, confused by the sudden appearance of Michiru, "Who are you," Inuyasha demanded, speaking out first. This gained Michiru's attention, she glanced at Inuyasha but her eyes soon found Kagome standing behind him. Michiru's eyes burned with hatred as she looked upon the human that had gained the heart of the demon Lord, "You," Michiru boomed as she pointed at Kagome, ignoring Inuyasha. "Come here, human," Michiru said, venom dripped from the last word towards Kagome, Kagome hesitantly began to move to Michiru in an attempt to prevent further chaos but Inuyasha stood in front of her.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as he stood in her way, preventing her from coming in contact with the fearsome demoness. "She's going nowhere near you," Inuyasha growled as he stood protectively in front of Kagome, Michiru's eyes flashed with anger and enmity for the female human when she heard his statement. Michiru quickly hid her feelings, not allowing herself to be blinded by her hatred for the human behind the half-demon, "Humph, I see that you've captured the heart of another dog," Michiru said in a mocking tone. Inuyasha clenched his jaw, "Feh, what did you just say," he said in a challenging manner.
Inuyasha's cocky attitude pissed Michiru off, "I'll teach you your place, half-breed," Michiru spoke before charging at Inuyasha. Inuyasha just smirked as he reached for Tetsusaiga but he only felt the empty scabbard of the legendary fang, "Dammit, I must have left it in my room when I left in a hurry," Inuyasha thought as Michiru now stood in front of him. "Goodbye, mixed breed," Michiru said as she smirked while suddenly creating a large orb of dark magic from thin air. Inuyasha was caught off guard as the powerful sphere of energy appeared and grew in size, Inuyasha braced for impact when Michiru released the energy towards him.
Inuyasha was slammed into a far wall, Kagome watched in horror as he slumped to the ground, unconscious from the dark powerful energy. Kagome turned toward Michiru just to have the demoness wrap her hand around her neck, she easily lifted Kagome off the ground. Kagome looked Michiru in the eyes with determination in her dark brown eyes, not allowing the demoness to hear her in pain. Just before Kagome was about to pass out, she watched as a glowing ribbon wrapped around the wrist that was clasped around her neck. Kagome immediately realized whose it was, "Sesshomaru," Kagome thought, relieved.
Michiru dropped Kagome from the unexpected contact with Sesshomaru's poison whip, she recoiled her wrist to her chest, gently rubbing it. Kagome began to fall to the floor but was soon caught by strong arms that supported and comforted her. There Sesshomaru stood with Kagome in his arms, he looked at Kagome's face with calmness and kindness. He turned around and laid Kagome down behind him before turning back towards Michiru with rage and distaste in his golden eyes.
Michiru was taken aback from the sudden change in Sesshomaru's eyes, "He looked at her with such caring eyes yet he looks upon me with such hatred as though I'm a spawn from hell," Michiru thought as she shot a look at the unconscious miko on the floor behind him. Sesshomaru saw where her gaze was and stepped in front of Kagome, "Why are you here, again," Sesshomaru questioned in his monotone voice. "I was just checking in on you," Michiru said as she tried to sound concerned. Sesshomaru gracefully raised his brow at her, he held back his urge to laugh in her face, "Who does she think she's kidding, she doesn't even believe her own lie," Sesshomaru thought.
"You don't have to tell me, I care not either way, so long as you leave my presence now," Sesshomaru said coldly. Michiru angrily let out a huff of air, feeling insulted by the demon Lord's treatment of her, "You really don't know how to treat a lady," Michiru commented. "You are not a lady, you are scum," Sesshomaru coldly, "Now leave my presence," he commanded. Michiru clenched her fists when she heard his insult, "How dare you," she screamed at him as she began to attack him in a fit of rage. Sesshomaru smirked as he dodged all of her attacks without a challenge, "It didn't take you long to lose your cool façade," he commented.
"You bastard," she continued to yell at him. After a few more attempts to hit him, Michiru pulled back, she stayed a few feet away from him now panting hard as he stood in front of her with a calm air around him still. "Dammit," she spoke as she wiped away a thin layer of sweat from her upper lip, she began to reach for the small knife at her hip. Sesshomaru noticed this and summoned his poison whip, Michiru drew the short knife from the small scabbard and charged at Sesshomaru once again, in a blink of an eye Sesshomaru's poison whip was wrapped around her neck. Michiru stood there frozen in her footsteps, "H-How is this possible," Michiru questioned incredulously.
"I couldn't be beat this easily," Michiru thought disbelievingly as she struggled to figure out how to escape this deadly situation. She looked at the unconscious Kagome once more before looking back at Sesshomaru and smirking. "You think you've won, how cute," Michiru said in a mocking tone as she looked at Sesshomaru with pity in her eyes. Sesshomaru saw this and his brows furrowed, "I don't need anyone's pity, much less from scum like her," Sesshomaru thought as his golden eyes became hard.
She glanced at Kagome one last time and smiled darkly before summoning a dark purple cloud to engulf Kagome, Sesshomaru saw her gaze towards Kagome and turned to check on her only to see her being covered in an ominous purple cloud. Sesshomaru tried to reach for her only to grasp a fading cloud, he turned towards Michiru with pure hate in his eyes, "What are you doing with her," he growled ferociously as his once calm golden eyes now flashed red in fury.
Michiru just allowed a sinister smile to cross her lips, satisfied with the reaction she got from the demon Lord. "Isn't it obvious, I'm taking something precious to you so you can suffer," Michiru said cruelly, "Who would have guessed it would ever be a human though," Michiru continued as she mocked him. Sesshomaru clenched his jaw in frustration, "Damn, I couldn't protect her," Sesshomaru thought as he became angry at himself.
Michiru continued to watch as Sesshomaru became angry with himself, "My, how the great Demon Lord of the West, Sesshomaru, has fallen, having feelings for a human, how disgraceful," Michiru spoke as she looked at Sesshomaru and his internal battle. "This must run in your bloodline, first your father, now you, and your half breed of a brother seems to have developed feelings for this young human girl as well," Michiru said as she smudged their honor. "I wonder what's so special about this perfectly normal human girl that two Inu demons would develop feelings for her," Michiru thought out loud.
Sesshomaru lunged at her, trying to slash at her with his claws only to cut the thin air. Sesshomaru looked at his hand and clenched his fist in frustration, he stood there in silence as his brain replayed everything that happened. He continued to blame himself for what happened to Kagome, suddenly he turned and punched the wooden wall beside him in irritation. He withdrew his hand from the large hole in the wall, "Dammit," he muttered as he wondered what was going to happen to Kagome.
