Part 8- Torment

The kitsune chanted as she stirred the necessary ingredients into the pot.
The lock of hair she had stolen from Kagome in sleep was thrown in next, followed by a few locks of long silvery hair. As well as various parts of animals and demons alike followed by strange powders. Finally as she finished the incantation, she stirred in the last ingredients and waited.
A large plume of smoke rose from the pot and hovered above it, as if waiting for instruction. With the wave of her hand the cloud drifted away.
She smiled at herself. 'Master will be pleased.'
"And what exactly are you up to?" A cold female voice called from behind her.
The fox demon swallowed and her eyes grew wide. She turned to face whoever was behind her, ready for battle if necessary, though she wasn't sure how well she could defend herself.
"W-Who are you?" She asked shakily.
The woman smiled slightly, her dark eyes revealing nothing as she raised her bow.
"I am Kikyo. Now that I have answered your question you can answer mine."
"I don't know w-what you're t-talking about."
"Oh, but I think you do." She closed one eye, aiming ever so carefully at the young demon.
"It's a spell. . ."
"A spell? For whom?"
"Lady Kagome, and . . . and. . . Y-You l-look just l-like. . . " She trailed off losing her train of thought.
"Yes, I know. But really we're nothing alike," Kikyo stated before releasing the arrow. As it sunk into the demon's chest, she was quickly purified and disintegrated, leaving no trace.
Kikyo's smile faded. 'A spell for Kagome? What type of spell?'
The miko frowned, turning her back on the small room; she continued her wonderings around the castle.

Kagome gazed out her bedroom window; she shuddered remembering what Lord Keishou had told her earlier. Holding herself, she looked out into the night, listening to the pouring rain. 'Inuyasha is out there somewhere,' she thought, knowing he wouldn't be far. Her heart ached, but she shook her head. 'Why did he bring Kikyo here? Why did he come here at all?' She didn't want him to follow her; she couldn't even look at him now. She was angry with him, angry with herself, angry at her time, angry at her life, and fate. Worst of all there was no real reason for her to stay in this time any longer. But she couldn't go home, not yet anyway. She could no longer be his shard detector, she couldn't even tell when they were in the same room as her let alone find them throughout the whole countryside. 'He knows I can no longer sense them, so why. . . why did he come here? Why did he follow?'
How was she supposed to break the spell that Keishou spoke of? She had no idea who was behind it, or why. Why would someone want to take away her powers? They weren't that great, not yet anyway, now they would probably never be. She still had much to learn.
But apparently, according to Keishou there was some prophecy, and it seemed that Kagome fit all the criteria of the chosen one. So if Kagome could figure out how to break the spell she would regain her powers ten fold. Only problem was, they had no idea what type of spell it was, and Kagome was not in the best spirits to be taking on such a task. Although her wounds were healing quite nicely her heart was a different matter.
The door to her chambers slowly opened. She turned, expecting another servant who would bother her about something. But instead her dark eyes met with cold amber, and she gasped.
"Sessho-maru?"
He closed the door behind him as he walked towards her. For a moment it seemed that his eyes reflected his fear, but he covered it up once more with his frigid gaze. Still she felt suddenly drawn to him and it bothered her.
"What do you want?" She asked not moving from her spot against the window.
"Aren't we the rude one?" He said calmly, even though the beating of his heart seemed to echo throughout his brain, he was surprised he had even heard her question.
"You're the one who barged into my room without MY permission."
"True," he said stopping in front of her.
"Well. . . Why are you here?" She repeated, sounding slightly irritated.
Sesshomaru swallowed, trying to compose his thoughts. His eyes never left her form. At the moment she was bathed in moonlight, her whole body seemed to be radiating with its glow and before he could stop himself he had taken another step towards her. 'She looks so beautiful. . . wait, what?' She inched away, feeling slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, feeling uncomfortable in his presence.
"I honestly don't know why I am here," he admitted, cursing himself directly after speaking. Why had he said that?
"What?" A very confused Kagome found herself asking.
As he opened his mouth to speak a stream of smoke began to pour into her bedroom practically engulfing the two. Kagome looked around herself frantically, the only way for her to escape would be through the door, but Sesshomaru was blocking the way. She stepped towards him and stopped. Suddenly she found her heart to be beating very fast in her chest, and when she looked up at Sesshomaru, her heartbeat seemed to speed up even more as her breathe caught in her throat, but she couldn't take her eyes away.
"What is going on here?" She thought out loud, fighting the sudden urge to throw herself into the demon lord's arms.
"I wish I knew," was all he said before grabbing her. "We have to get out of here." Holding her against his chest he jumped out the window.
'What is this sudden urge I have to protect Inuyasha's wench?' At that thought his temper began to flare up. 'Inuyasha's wench?' Technically she wasn't really his wench. He knew they weren't mated, but he also knew Inuyasha was completely in love with the girl. Surely she felt the same for him, why else would she have risked her life so many times for his stupid brother? But there was also that undead miko. Sesshomaru found himself very confused after trying to figure out that messed up love triangle. But then he realized that now he too was probably also apart of it.
Kagome heard him growl low in his throat but tried to ignore it as they landed gracefully in the grass. He broke off into a run dragging her along with him, and she tried frantically to keep up.
'Did he just, save me?'
Inuyasha was perched high up in the tree closest to Kagome's window, napping quietly when the smoke decided to overtake him. He coughed at first, attempting to stand in order to escape the cloud. Grasping the hilt of the Tetsuseiga he prepared to battle whatever foe was emerging. But there was none. Trying to swat the smoke away, he managed to fall out of the tree, landing painfully at its base. The rain pounded down on him painfully, every drop feeling like a razor cut, covered in mud he tried his best to stand but before he could move any further he lost consciousness.
'Kag-o-me. . .'
