Sekkou waited at the bottom of the waterfall. He knew sooner or later Kagome would become emotional - and he hoped she would choose to run away in the boat. Sure enough, he saw her fall and heard her gasp…and she fell.
Luckily, she landed NEAR a jagged rock, not on one. He dashed to the river's edge, scooped her up, and ran through the forest. Her clothes were tattered, and evil as he was, he decided to ignore his 'urges' and buy her a new kimono.
He brought her to a nearby village, explained he found her on the riverbank, and purchased a kimono. "Don't stir, my sweet, we're almost there."
Kagome woke midway through the forest. First she noticed a soothing sensation, like she was in motion. Without opening her eyes, she thought, Inuyasha. Satisfied with her conclusion, she fell back asleep.
iRun! Run!/i Kagome ran faster than ever, but this time she knew her enemy. It was Inuyasha, Inuyasha who wanted to kill her, to destroy her. Naraku waited on the other side of the cliff, she only had to reach him...She got to the precipice, and jumped, bracing herself for the impact. She screamed, "Naraku, help me!" only Naraku just smiled. "Help you?" he asked. "Why?" It was then Kagome realized the true enemy was /i Inuyasha, he was trying to rescue her. If only she had known...If only...
Kagome jerked awake. "Inuyasha?" she asked. She turned to face her savior, but found Jakkou's face instead. "Who are you?!"
"Kagome, my darling, you have awaken! What good luck, we are almost there." Sekkou acted if he had never heard her question, and treated her like a good friend.
"Let me go!" Kagome pounded her fists on his chest. "Release me! Somebody, help!"
"Kagome, Kagome, please stop. I might drop you. We wouldn't want you to hurt yourself or your baby, now would we?"
Kagome froze. "What do you know of my child? Who are you?"
Sekkou's face hardened. "It seems you do not remember me..." He sighed. "Kagome, my named is Sekkou. I know all you know of yourself, plus more. I have watched you since your arrival in the Sengoku Jidai, since you first came through the well. You intrigue me. I..." He paused, taking a deep breath, never missing his footing. "I, well, I could say you /i me. I feel very strongly for you, Kagome. I mean you no harm."
iOh, no, please, no! I'm caught in the arms of a stalker!/i Kagome started to cry. "Please, let me go! If you feel so strongly for me, just let me go!"
Sekkou looked scared. "But...I love you, Kagome. I could make you happy, we could be happy. I can even help with your child..."
"I love someone else."
"Who?"
"Let me go! Inuyasha! Help me! Someone! Someone, /i!"
"Well, I still have to take you to the boss. So, shut up! I'm done being kind to you, I offered you a chance at life! I offered to help with that demon child of yours, to let you live! I offered you your freedom, don't you understand?"
"B-boss?" Kagome stuttered. "Who is your boss?"
"Oh, I believe you know him. His name is...Sesshoumaru."
