*Wheee.. Sorry about not posting in so long. I just got this really bad sore throat, and I haven't felt like doing ANYTHING. Well, this chapter will most likely be short. Email any questions or comments to flowergirl3108@aol.com or just comment. Thanks so much for reading, and enjoy! Oh yeah, and Inuyasha + Characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I think that's her name….. *
Seshoumaru exaimined his newly aquired prize. Maybe he'd kill her himself.. She looked so beautiful, and death surely would make that pale skin even paler. He smirked at the realization of his own evil thoughts, and merely looked at Kagome.
'Hm.. He comes.'
The tall demon's voice was harsh sounding, and a glare now shimmered in his eyes. He licked his lips once, and then exited Kagome's "chamber". He left the door open, and wandered into the courtyard of the castle; Waiting for Inuyasha, he yawned.
As Seshoumaru had predicted, Inuyasha was feet away from the castle. He took a leap and landed in the courtyard, now facing his enemy brother. His eyes were narrow, and fiercer as he thought of Kagome being in a place like this.. tied or chained up.. Or possibly.. No, she couldn't be dead. It wasn't possible.
Kagome suddenly jerked her head upwards when she heard Inuyasha's strong determined voice.
'Give Kagome back to me, right now..'
'Afraid I can't do that, little brother. She is my ticket to taking that lovely sword of.. yours..'
'It won't work. She won't do anything for you!'
'Hmm.. Shall we have a fight, now?'
Seshoumaru snapped, and Kagome was suddenly floating in the courtyard, inbetween the two, with a light blue aura surounding her. She winced in pain, and opened her eyes to see Inuyasha.
His eyes became softer, and almost sad as he glanced at her.. Why did she have to mean so damn much to him?
Seshoumaru smirked, and charge at Inuyasha, just to the left of Kagome.
She shrieked and cringed as she watched Seshoumaru hold his sword against Inuyasha's tetsaiga. ( Forgot how to spell it )
Inuyasha practically roared as he jerked the fight between him and his brother away from Kagome; He couldn't let her be killed.
Kagome watched, her brows furowed. Inuyasha took one hit after another from Seshoumaru's sword.. Defending and actually fighting back a little too. He made a big charge, and shot his sword at Seshoumaru the moment he saw the 'wound of the wind'. Seshoumaru's eyes narrowed more, and he jumped to the side, pushing Kagome in the way. All Inuyasha heard was a loud screach as he jumped forwards to save her. He felt his own attack tear at his skin, and reached out to grab Kagome. He felt her limp arm and pulled her towards him, jumping out of the attack as it slowed down and all that remained was a few stones from the castle wall at which he had shot.
Inuyasha took deep breaths, blood seeping from every cut on him, through his clothes. Kagome's skin was also covered in cuts; She was unconscious. Inuyasha pulled her closer, into a hug.. He heard her breath, and sighed thankfully.. He then lifted her chin, wiping away some blood, and looked at her face. She looked like she was in so much pain. Worse than him. Pain of the heart, pain of the body. Pain of everything.
'..Kagome.. Please.. wake up..'
Seshoumaru was out of sight now, and so, Inuyasha's voice had changed considerably. It was no longer harsh, but has a soft, sweet tone to it. He felt her hand switch and her eyes slowly opened, full of tears. She hugged him tightly.
'Inuyasha!!'
He hugged her bac, staying silent.. He knew Seshoumaru was in league with Naraku now. Why else would he have pushed Kagome in the way.. Inuyasha snarled and then returned to this paridise of holding Kagome in his arms..
Miroku arrived a few minutes later, carrying Sango on his back, but Shippo was still in the forest with Kirara. Inuyasha slowly pulled Kagome off of himself and explain what had happened to them. He then began wiping blood off of Kagome, and ripping his shirt under the red firerat-skinned coat, wrapping her wounds with care.
This would be a long fight, he thought, but he would do anything, to protect Kagome, and keep her out of danger.. Even if all he got back was a hug, and a wave goodbye.. As long as she was safe.
*What'd you guys think? I love Seshoumaru, and I hate making him seem evil, but in truth.. HE IS. Heh heh heh. So, I'm not sure how I'm gonna keep going with this. I mean, I'm running out of ideas. Probably just 'cause I'm sick, but I dun wanna keep you guys waiting until I'm not sick. Sooo.. maybe could I get some suggestions? Lemme know! :: Runs off to get more tea. :: *
