Kikyo's Anger, Shot from an Arrow
"Oh Sango…" Kagome hugged her friend tightly. "It's about your family, isn't it." Sango's eyes watered a little, and she nodded. "You were saying how scary and lonely it was, and I worry for them. Even though I know there is nothing I can do about it." The tears went down her face without notice. "I'm sorry, to tell the truth, you don't even know your dead, it's like sleeping. There is no time, yet an eternity. But when you wake up, you suddenly realize the emptiness that it was" "sniff…Thanks."

"Lord Sesshomaru! Why did you help that lowly hanyo?!" Jaken scurried after his master, whom had not told the angle of his actions yet. Jaken still could not believe that his mighty master had saved his hated brother's mate, without even taking the Tetsiga in the process. 'There must be a reason for these actions! My master, Lord Sesshomaru, would never…'
"Jaken," Sesshomaru interrupted his thoughts. "Y, yes me-lord?" Keeping his usual blank face, he looked at his little slave. "If I tell you, I shall have to kill you." The little toad's eyes grew large as he scurried after in shock. 'I should have listened to my mom and become a politic person…' Sesshomaru didn't seem to be listening, he was staring at the bushes, were a White baboon had just appeared. "Lord Sesshomaru! It's Naraku!" "Quiet, Jaken." The toed like demon sunk into the background. "Y-yes m'lord."
Sesshomaru turned his attention again to Naraku. "What is your business with me?" Naraku's sinister smiles peeked its way to his face.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I must wonder why you gave life back to the Hanyo's mate. Did you feel pity for your younger brother?" Rin moved closer to Sesshomaru. "I believe this is none of your business, Naraku." He turned away quickly, in an attempt to walk away, but stopped immediately why he heard little Rin's gasp.
"Is this what softened you? This human child?" Naraku held Rin up by her neck, choking her. "nng…." "Release the girl, Naraku. She is not of your concern." Naraku's evil grin grew larger. "Ahh, but she is of your concern…" He threw her against the time tree, knocking her out. She didn't even scream. "You think that that girl has softened me? He he he, I don't think that's true Naraku. I am not weak." Naraku started to fade out. "Well, then leave the girl and move on. Instead of saving her." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he made his way towards the knocked out girl. "He he he, well, I guess even the heartless Sesshomaru has a weakness." With that he disappeared into the night, secretly watching
-------------------------------------
Night came fast as Kagome told about her experiences. She looked around the little hut at all of her friends…her family. Sango slept in the corner; Shippo and Kirara curled up near her. Miroku was in the opposite corner…with a still red handprint on his face. And outside was…Inu-Yasha… 'You know, the way I reacted was so…odd. I was just overjoyed, because he cared for me more then that walking corpse.' Trying to dismiss the thought, she did what she always did when she was unconvertible or scared: went outside to "get some air"… "Inu-Yasha? Are you here?"
"Feh…" She heard his trade noise, meaning he was awake. "I know your awake, I need to…" Her sentence was cut short as Inu-Yasha jumped down and pulled her down under his arm. "Quiet for a minute…" He sniffed the air; only he couldn't smell anything because of Kagome's beautiful scent filling the air around him. Distracted, he closed him eyes and relaxed in her scent…
'Damn, I can't concentrate!'
"Inu-Yasha, it's Sesshomaru!" Kagome grabbed his arm. "What does want with us?" Sesshomaru hadn't bothered them in a while; it was almost like he didn't care about beating Inu-Yasha anymore. "Brother, I wish to speak to you." 'Since when was Sesshomaru so…polite to Inu-Yasha?' Kagome though. Inu-Yasha apparently didn't care though and jumped out, ready to draw his sword.
"What do you want?" Suddenly, he smelt human blood in the air, mixed with a little of Naraku's sent. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "As much as I hate to ask my Hanyo brother for help, I require the assistance of your mate." Both blushed at this, but tried to hide it. Kagome walked out, not looking afraid. "Why? Does it have to do with Rin?" A twinge of some sort of emotion showing anger, worry and self-pity showed on his usual blank face for a fraction of a second. "Yes," He said, back to his emotionless mask, "Rin was hurt by Naraku, but she's not dead, so I can't help her with the Tensega." He reached behind him and pulled her out of a protective bush. "I'll be back for her in 7 days, if she is dead, you all shall pay with your lives. Farewell." Kagome sweat dropped. "He never changes, does he."
-------------------------------------
"Since when does Sesshomaru ask for favors?" Sango watched as Kagome nursed the still sleeping child. "I think he needs her, he's gotten to the point where he wants someone to protect, and she touched him." Sango understood what she was saying; it was kind of the same with Kagome and Inu-Yasha. "He must love her very much."
"Really? She seems like she would be rather young for him." Miroku thought out loud, only to be hit by both Kagome and Sango. "Not like that you pervert!" Sango yelled at him. "Like a daughter or something, weren't you listening at all?!" Not wanting to say no, he just kept quiet…or maybe he was just unconscious….
-------------------------------------
After they had done all they could for Rin, they went to sleep for the night. Sango, Kagome and Shippo slept close to Rin, who was now awake. She saw a figure in the door, coming in. She recognized it as her Sesshomaru-sama. "Sessy…" He carefully stepped over the others and sat next to her, stroking her hair, silently comforting her. Soon he left as if he had never been there. 'Why do I feel worry, tis such a human emotion.' He wandered back to Jaken whom was waiting outside the hut, baffled as to why the great demon killer was ere, but to scared to ask. "Come Jaken, we shall leave now." He scurried after. "Yes, m'lord."
