Chapter 26

Sesshomaru landed on the forest floor with Kagome in tow. Finally on her feet again, she followed him as he slowly meandered through the underbrush. Kagome soon grew impatient with him and stopped walking. He noticed her lack of motion and turned. Gasping as she saw the slightly crimson-lined rims of his golden orbs, Kagome stepped back. Was HE the wolf that was killing her lover in her sleep? The deep crimson seeped and swirled into the natural sunrise gold and she wondered if being near him would put her, and her potential lover's life in danger.
As though sensing her thoughts, Sesshomaru darted forward and grabbed her wrist before she could run from him. 'Miko, This Sesshomaru told you there was a need to talk. This Sesshomaru would not hurt you as it would be disrespectful without proper cause.' He explained calmly. Kagome, now slightly less terrified nodded. He released her and stepped back. 'What….is it that you need to talk about…Lord Sesshomaru?' Kagome decided to be as polite as she could to avoid giving him cause to hurt her.
Sesshomaru almost audibly sighed, surprising Kagome. He hesitated a moment and stared her strait in the eye. 'Rin is sick,' was his statement, and although she could see a different truth shining in the depths of his eyes, she decided not to question him. 'Take me to her.' Swiftly, she found herself wrapped in his arm, his mokomoko and that haunting yet familiar scent that made her stomach ache with need.
