Ooo YEAH!

I'm officially a year older. Whoop Whoop.

Now, if only I felt seventeen, we would be set. But I don't, and so the world shall turn on. But enough of that!

I'm sitting here eating pizza and I realize that I have sorely ignored my faithful readers and my ever cliffing fiction.

I do apologize, which is why I am here writing. So, tell me what you think at the end of this chapter, I would appreciate it very greatly!

Have a Blessed Night/Day!

Chapter Twenty One

The Angel Closes Her Eyes

The silence is slightly unnerving. The only sound Kagome can make out is the thundering of her heartbeat in her ears.

The long her sits there spread out on the floor with all eyes focused on her, the louder her blood flowing to her head seems to get.

And then, everything stops and the one sound heard by all is Kagura's quill as it slips from her loose fingers to click against the table and then softly clatter against the floor.

This seems to break Kagome of her disbelieving trance and she scuttles to her feet, eyes wide and mouth gaping like a fish.

How becoming. Sesshomaru now turns to ignore her, his eyes roving over the faces of the royalty at the table. "I do not request this, rather I demand acceptance from all. This is non-negotiable."

Do…what? Kagome stands with her shoulders slumped, bangs falling in her eyes, and that priceless look still upon her face, making her appear now quite comical, like a jester.

He just… out of no where… tells them… demands me to… and I… Do WHAT? He can't just…DEMAND me all haughtily and think I will jut comply! I am not his personal whore to do what he wishes, nor will I mate someone who merely lusts for me!

Kagome's eyes light with fire and she straightens her back, crossing her arms over her chest in an 'I dare you' kind of way. Lips pursing in aggravation and obvious contempt, she allows her voice to slip from her lips in defiance.

"I will not!" It sounds an awful lot like a demand and Sesshomaru's shoulders stiffen more, if possible, and he slowly turns his head around to meet her angry eyes with his own.

A small hasp is heard from the other end of the table but neither of them move. Sesshomaru's lips curl back into a snarl and a growl rips through his throat.

"What did you say?" His rock cold voice pierces through her senses, but she re-buddles it with her own icy disposition. "I said… I will NOT!" Narrowing her eyes to match his own, she steps forward.

"You defy your Lord!" His voice grows dangerously as he watches her take a step forward. His legs move on their own as he also takes a single stride up to her.

"Yes! I do! You cannot just demand me to give my life to you! Who do you think you are? I will NOT just bend to your will!"

The room hums in surprise, angry sparks crackling from Kagome, the purplish pinks and blues dancing around her body. In return, Sesshomaru's right hand begins to glow a sickly green, his eyes beginning to bleed red.

Clenching his burning fist, he lurches forward once more, mind cogging with angry fuzz. He reaches out for the human, tackling her to the hard ground.

He plants his calves upon her struggling arms, capturing them and stilling them almost instantly. He feels the shocks of purification biting into his skin, but he does not relinquish his hold on her.

His backside settles down onto her stomach, his spine rigid as his claws dig into her small shoulders, poison leaking into the wounds. Still defiant, she struggles, her body writhing beneath his own in an arousing manner.

Growling, her shoves her shoulders back harder into the ground, his claws ripping further into her shoulders and letting a rivulet of blood flow out over his hands and down the front of her kimono, dousing his senses in its intoxicating scent.

Suddenly she stops struggling and his wonder filled eyes that are focused on her shoulder now move to her face as a sharp, pungent scent assaults his nose.

From her dark, surprising eyes wells up small tears that spill over her lids and leak down her face, leaving small thin trails of wetness upon her already golden cheeks. Her hair falls around her head like a halo, giving her an eathrel appearance.

Golden eyes flick from his claws embedded into delicate shoulders, to the tears flowing from her beautiful eyes. His claws slowly begin to retract from her flesh, the sickly green poison already in her shoulder burrowing deeper into her blood and eating away at her insides.

A small whimper rings throughout the large room and Sesshomaru's eyes widen a fraction of an inch.

Kagome's eyes blur as she feels a tingle begin to rush throughout her body, turning almost instantly into a fierce burning. She cries out, her body convulsing in pain.

Sesshomaru's body weight lifts from her body and she rolls to her side, coiling into a ball as heat waves rush throughout her form. Her tears increase, as does the volume of her cries of pain.

Sesshomaru rips his eyes from her wretching form and his gaze travels once more over the faces in the room. Some were startled, one is amused, but most of them are accusing and disgusted.

A moan draws his attention back to Kagome to see that she has broken out in a terrible feverish sweat, skin pale and clammy as the poison slithers through her system, assaulting and killing her body slowly.

Something akin to panic surges to Sesshomaru's heart and he stumbles a step backwards as he watches her convulse again. Blinking, he reaches towards her with a hand, shaking. She turns her pain filled eyes on him and gives him a sad, dillusional smile before her body freezes up and she falls limp to the ground.

Sesshomaru watches still as his angels' eyes slip shut, his eyes blank as he takes in her motionless, dead form.
