Disclaimer: I do not own the fantastic characters of Inuyasha! I only own the plot of this story of course.

Chapter Thirteen!

Rin stopped in front of a hallway and didn't go any further.

"W-Why did you stop?" Kagome asked, her voice almost shaking.

"This is where you must go Ms. Kagome, I cannot go any further because you are to be alone"

"So what if I don't want to go?"

"Please Ms. Kagome you don't want to do anything else, we must do as Lord Sesshomaru will have us to do."

Rin smiled at Kagome as if everything was going to be all right, and left her confused, as she skipped away into the distance. Kagome looked down the dark hallway. It seemed to be empty and she heard absolutely no sound coming from that way. She slowly tiptoed down the hallway trying to be as quiet as she possible could be. She listened intently for anyone else, but heard nothing. Her heart was beating disturbingly fast and she gripped her chest trying to contain her fear. Suddenly the next step she took did not touch solid ground. The floor did not go any further, but she had gone farther. Kagome screamed as she reached into nothingness attempting to save herself, but she was too late.

"THUMP"

Kagome hit the ground beneath. Her body lay still in a void of darkness, and she was alone. Her heart within her faintly still beating, but she was no longer conscience.

Rin felt a vibration under her feet, and looked sadly at Jaken.

"Foolish child do not even think of questioning Lord Sesshomaru! He knows full well what he is doing!"

"But…."

"Grrr! I can't pick up her scent anywhere! KAGOME WHERE ARE YOU!" Inuyasha fell to the ground in frustration. "This is all my fault, Kagome would have never ran away if I had let her go, when Miroku showed up looking for that stupid staff!"

"Get up dog face! There is not any time to waste. Kagome is counting on us!" Kouga yelled.

Inuyasha furiously got up and was about to start a fight.

"DON'T INUYASHA!" Sango shouted at the enraged half-demon, who just stopped and looked away in silence.

"Since you can not pick up her scent Inuyasha we must keep searching!" The monk looked ahead.

"Yeah, the monk is right, it is time to continue" Sango agreed.

They all went on their way not knowing quite where they were going, but they knew they had to try.

Sesshomaru stood expressionless.

"Have you done what I asked of you Rin?"

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru it is done" the little girl looked at her feet feeling ashamed. Kagome was probably dead because of her. "I'm sorry Ms. Kagome"

The youkai walked past Rin and went towards the way that Kagome had fallen. He clutched the sacred jewel shards in his hands, and walked down the hallway stopping right at the point that the floor stopped. Having her fall down the hole made him sure that she wouldn't escape him. He jumped off the edge and landed gracefully on his feet.

He leaned down beside Kagome who was not moving.

"Wake up" He whispered, she still did not budge.

He gently shook her, but she did not awake for him. He unsheathed the tensaiga and slashed through her body only once knowing that the tensaiga had the power to bring beings back to life, he knew it could also heal her broken body. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Sesshomaru.

"Y-you are so beautiful"

Sesshomaru looked alarmed. "Kagome despises me for my desire to kill Inuyasha because of his sword that he has instead of me! Why would she say something of this manner?"

"Who are you?" Kagome looked at the youkai as if she had never heard his name or seen him before.

Sesshomaru stood up without answering her, and turned away.

"You don't know who I am?"

"Have you come to save me from this dark place?"

He turned and looked at her.

"Not exactly, I need you to get up!"

Kagome got up and walked over to him. It seemed that her memories were gone, because of the harsh blow to her head and body she had received earlier. She touched Sesshomaru's hair and played with it between her fingers.

"How do you look so young, and yet your hair is this silver color?" she said looking confused.

The youkai had never had a human woman come up to him before without fear, with the exception of Rin who was an innocent child, and wasn't old enough to know such danger. He let Kagome's curiosity continue as she rumbled her fingers through his hair. She suddenly stopped when she looked up into his expressionless face.

"Why am I here?"

Sesshomaru ignored her and picked her up into his arms. Kagome blushed at this and smiled in his arms daydreaming. The youkai jumped onto the edge of the floor above, and returned from the dark hallway with Kagome in his arms. Having Kagome snuggle up to him in the way she was doing made him remember the first day that he had met Rin, the little girl who admired him at first sight that he decided to protect. Somehow holding Kagome gave him a different feeling that he liked almost too well. He stopped before going any further.

"Jaken make sure everyone leaves this moment I need some time with the girl"

The green demon tilted his head with a confused expression. "Why would he want to be alone with Kagome?"

"Hey! I feel an evil presence and its coming from over there!" Miroku pointed to an eerie looking place that was in very poor condition.

"I have her scent now. She is here!" Inuyasha ran towards the shelter in a hurry and so did Kouga.

"WAIT!" Sango said startling the both of them.

"It could be a trap we should enter this place with great caution!"

The monk walked past Inuyasha and Kouga and peered inside, and took a step back. Something the monk had seen had stopped him from going inside.

Kagome looked up at the mysterious man who had her in his arms.

"What is it you want with me?"

Sesshomaru let her go so she could stand up on her own feet and just stared at her as if he was being entertained. Kagome looked at him feeling awkward.

"W-w-what do you want?' She stammered. The youkai was starting to freak her out now, she had no idea where she was, or who she was for that matter, and she was very confused.

"Do you know who I am?"

Sesshomaru looked at her puzzled. She didn't even remember who she herself was. "How could this be?"

"Your name is Kagome…."

"Do I live here with you?" She said trying too hard not to blush too much at the charming youkai standing before her.

Sesshomaru studied her face, he didn't understand why her face was turning red. Actually he didn't understand women at all. He walked up to Kagome and touched her face as if fascinated. Kagome looked up dreamily into his eyes and stepped closer to him. The youkai stepped back but Kagome took another step forward. "Maybe this man is in love with me, and I don't remember." Sesshomaru took his hands off her face and pushed her away.
