Dedicated to MadameSilence. Lol you finally got it, little sister.
Sesshomaru lifted the slight body of kagome and carried her back towards the castle. Light flickered on the horizon. It seemed he would not get the pleasure of seeing his half-brother and kikyo die.
He sighed. Just as well. Kagome's one arm was resting across her stomach while the other hung uselessly, dripping blood. Her mouth open slightly and her hair cascaded around her.
'What was she thinking?!' he thought furiously. The girl had told him she Wasn't going to watch it and then she trails then and gets attacked! Who would want to attack sweet kagome anyways?
He wrapped his arms around her tighter and ran faster to the castle. Who was with the children? Did the person attack them also?
For once, fear clutched at his icy heart. He was rather fond of the children, even though Shippo caused him such a head ach. The castle lanterns came into view.
Kagome gave off a small whimper as her injured arm hung limply, swinging as he ran.
"Hold on, kagome-kun….almost there…." He said soothingly. He burst through the opening gate, blowing past two startled guards. He turned corner after corner until he reached the medical ward.
"Myoga!" Sesshomaru yelled. The old man ran out of his office.
"What is it?!- Oh dear! Kagome! Lay her on the table… what happened?" the old man instantly got down to business.
"She was attacked by someone. This Sesshomaru is not sure who her attacker was. He was gone before this Sesshomaru got there." He said gravely.
"Hoy, that's a nasty cut…..it seems whoever did this, only knocked her out….she will waken soon enough…I'll have to wrap her arm…" he examined her bloody arm before starting to clean it up and stopping the bleeding.
"This Sesshomaru must check on her children. This one does not know if someone is with them or not." Sesshomaru motioned for two guards to watch the door and the patient. He quickly left and made his way to kagome's apartments.
He opened the door after unlocking it. He made his way through the darkened living room and to the first bedroom. He opened the door softly and saw Shippo sleeping. His feet on the pillow and his head under the covers near the bottom of the bed. Strange child….
He moved on to the next bedroom. Small sniffles could be heard from inside and a pained whimper.
"Rin?" he flung the door open in time to catch a dark shape once again take off. Rin laid on her stomach with her feet curled up into her stomach. Her eyes squeezed shut. Sesshomaru quickly noted that the curled up position was a child's attempt at protecting themselves by making themselves less of a target.
"Rin, this Sesshomaru is here….." he said softly. He hurried to the child's bedside. It didn't look like that the person had harmed her but one couldn't be sure. The child's eyes popped open. She quickly got up and flung her arms around his neck.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" then the torrent of tears started. Sesshomaru scooped the child up and rocked her back and forth.
"What happened, small one?" Sesshomaru asked as kindly as he could.
But the child could only form incoherent whimpers and small noises.
