Author's Note: Hey everyone again! Sorry it took so long to update. I've been busy lately, and my brain didn't really feel like working too much for the past week (maybe that would explain the 73 on my science quiz…) Anyway, I hope this isn't too short. Sorry if it is! R&R please! It only takes a seck, and I love to hear what you think!
Disclaimer: I'm never going to own InuYasha, so just leave me alone! Oh yeah, my poster came today! Whoop Whoop!
Goodbye Brother…
Chapter 6: I Am Lord Sesshomaru
Kagome felt herself coming back into the conscious world. She was dimly becoming aware of a pain in her right arm, and a severe headache. The girl groaned, and threw her other arm over her face. She could feel little pricks of discomfort where small pebbles from the ground were digging into her back.
"You have awakened. How wonderful," She heard someone say, sarcastically, from a few feet away from her. Kagome opened her eyes slightly, only to realize that her arm was in the way. She removed it, and squinted in the darkness of yet another cave. 'Who's voice was that?' She thought dimly, 'I recognize it.'
The young girl began to sit upright, propping herself on the elbow of her left arm; for her right arm hung limply at her side. She was struck by a swirl of dizziness, and fell back to the rocky ground with a small cry.
"You humans are pitifully weak creatures," The voice came again. Kagome stayed down on the ground, and turned her head towards the sound. "Who are you?" Her voice came out feebly and full of fear.
"I," a figure stepped out of the darkness into a small portion of light streaming in from the mouth of the cave, "am Lord Sesshomaru."
*********************
Sesshomaru had carried that dreadful girl from one cave to another until he had found one that fit his fancy. It was wide, and tall with a large mouth to let a good fraction of light in. Not too much, but just enough to see by.
He had roughly dropped her lifeless form onto the floor in the very back, and seated himself in the shadows of the side of the cave. She wouldn't be up for long, which was all for the best. He could use a nap after today's events.
He had half awoke when her began to hear her stir. She was mumbling nonsense, and he listened to her words half consciously. Then she had groaned and moved her arm. Oh how wonderful, she was awake.
*********************
"Sesh… Sesshomaru?" Kagome stuttered. First she was in the grasp of an awful spider demon, and now the lord of the western lands was holding her captive in a cave. This, the very youkai who had severely wounded InuYasha, had taken her, and she was utterly hopeless. The young girl found herself shuddering.
Sesshomaru could smell the fear on her body. She smelled so strongly of it that he almost had to cover his nose, but he refrained from even the thought. "What is wrong with you human?" He spoke harshly to her, as she lay, without hope, on the floor of the cave, "I will not kill you. At least, not quite yet. InuYasha must come and try to rescue you, and then I will kill you in front of his eyes. He gets too attached to humans. I see the way he looks at you when you do not pay attention. If the site of you dead does not kill him…" The lord youkai flexed his claws, "Then I will do it."
Kagome was horrified. She took a swift intake of breath, and felt tears sting the back of her eyes. She tried to hold it in, for she didn't want to look meek in front of this horrible creature. But she gave in all the same, and broke down in harsh sobs.
********************
"What do you mean he took her?!" InuYasha yelled at the forlorn monk standing at the doorway. Sango appeared behind him, gasping for breath.
"I mean just as… I said," Miroku said harshly to the hanyou, as he continued to catch his breath. The cave was a good run away from this little hut, and the run at full speed was a lot of work for humans.
"How could you…? You were right there for gods' sake! Where the hell is she?!" InuYasha was ranting at them now, ready to tear the world apart in order to find the lost girl.
"We don't know," Sango replied, for the monk had slid to the floor, "He just picked her up and walked away. There was nothing I could do. He threatened to kill her if I tried anything."
"We have to go find her!" InuYasha yelled as he began to walk out the door. But with each step, he found that the strength he had suddenly found, powered by rage, was leaving him. It was replaced by the pain so familiar to him, and a new one that he had never felt before. This pain came from deep in his heart and soul, and threatened to kill him with gilt and sorrow.
'I have… to find her…' He thought as he clattered to the floor.
Extra Author's Note: Hmm… Getting better I hope. What do you guys think? I'm always open to suggestions.
