Disclaimer - I do not own inu yasha
YAY!!!I finally got another review, this has totally made my day and inspired me to write. My story really isn't that great I suppose but thank you very much duchesscarml!!
I wanted to kill him, I was usually a nice person but now the anger coursing through my veins had taken over. I would find Naraku alright, aside from running headlong into a tree, causing her to fall to the ground anime style, so far Kiyoka was fine but I knew I couldn't allow her to come all the way with me. I stopped for a few minutes to think of where she could go, I needed someone to look after her preferably someone who could permanently take over being her guardian if I were not to return. After thinking for a few minutes I decided on sesshomaru, he may not like hanyou much but I was his friend and he would do no harm to kiyoka, plus Rin liked so I knew she'd be safe.
I sat her down for a minute and talked to her, "I need you to go back to Sesshomaru's castle" I told her. "Why," she asked a bit confused, "well let's just say I have a few things to do and it will go faster if I go by myself" I replied. She growled and then turned to leave, before she could, I swept her up into a hug "I love you" I told her. She squirmed a little and said "I know mom, can I play with Rin then?" "of course," I smiled at her hoping it wasn't my last chance to do so. "good bye" I murmured as she sped off through the forest, she really was just like inu yasha.
I sped off, mainly relying on the wind for my speed, I was powerful for a hanyou, but I had worked at it even now I trained everyday. I didn't have any other powers until I mated with inu yasha, I didn't really know how that worked but some of his powers were transferred to me. I had better hearing, smell and I could snarl pretty good. I continued to run and every so often I would stop to check the wind for followers, I knew that it was possible that if sesshomaru knew where I was going he would come to try and stop me. I didn't sesnse anyone but split the wind anyways, just in case, that way the wind was working for me but against them at the same time.
When I turned around I was face to face with Naraku, he was standing in front of me. I was so surprised I lost control of the wind and fell flat on my face, embarrassed I stood up and glared at him with as much hatred as I could muster. "So you've come at last" he said, "took you long enough." At this I growled and with no warning ran at him, I was fast, fast then sesshomaru at times even. I quickly drew my sword the wind was a powerful ally and I needed no fan to control it, as did Naraku's detachment Kagura. I ran faster and faster, the wind roaring behind me, I turned quickly catching him off guard and slashed at him. His arm was in my way and landed beside him before he could as much as react to my attack, his shoulder was left dripping with blood.
I glared at him in satisfaction, "it shouldn't be this easy" I thought to myself, just then I realized it wasn't going to be he transformed (into his spider thing) and the battle really began. I began rely on my powers not my strength and the clouds above me turned black as I decided what I should do to beat him. I threw strong gusts at him, his blood splattering on the ground but what scared me the most was that he just looked at me eerily, he attacked some but I could tell he wasn't trying very hard. Suddenly I felt an excruciating pain slice through my stomach, looked down to see he had pierced me with one of his tentacles/legs. I screamed out in pain but didn't' stop attacking, I had to win!! For my sake and inu yasha's.
POV Kagome
Sango, Miroku and I all on kirara's back dashed after inu yasha, we had left Shippou with Rin and Jakken which may not have been the best idea but I needed him to be safe while we fought. If sesshomaru was right and saeko really had taken on Naraku, we really needed to watch our steps. We continued towards the dark clouds, I wished we could go faster, I didn't want anything to happen to inu yasha. "Hey are you ok?" I heard sango ask. I started to reply "yeah I'm fine" but was interrupted by sango yelling "HENTAI." I looked over to see miroku with swirly eyes and a boomerang to the head. I couldn't help but laugh despite the situation at hand. Suddenly a yell broke the silence, it was inu yasha I knew it. "INUYASHA!!" I yelled
POV Inu yasha
Sesshomaru and I sped through the forest, I hated working with him the bastard but if I wanted to help Saeko I knew I would need his help no matter how much I hated to admit it. We finally reached the clearing, it had taken us longer then it should have due to the wind constantly changing direction. I looked forwards and was confronted by my worst fears, I saw Saeko for the first time in a 100 years. She had been giving her all but I saw a tentacle going through her stomach. I lept into battle, sesshomaru behind me, I pulled out tetsaiga. " get away from her you bastard" I yelled, he didn't look at me which I assumed was due to the fact he was having problems holding off sesshomaru. Just as I went to stab the tetsaiga through him he grabbed Saeko and slammed her into the ground so hard she was knocked unconscious, blood dripping from her head he flew up into the sky. "If you want her back you will have to face your worst fears, I will possibly trade her for the shikon no tama, I will be in my northern castle." With that he left, I screamed and fell into a pool of her blood just as Kagome, miroku and sango rode onto the scene on kirara.
Author POV
"NO!" Kagome yelled thinking inu yasha was dead as she ran to his side. Inu yasha didn't' move but gave her a despairing glance that told her he was not physically hurt but emotionally, all he would say for sometime was "she is gone, I failed." Finally he decided to go think some and kagome let him go, she watched him walk slowly into the forest. Sango and miroku decided to go get shippou and on sesshomaru's request Rin and Jakken also and wouldn't be back for sometime. It was then that kagome remembered sesshomaru. He was in bad condition, he had done some serious damage to naraku and probably would have won if naraku had not left but he had also received some fatal wounds himself. He was bleeding profusely and his body had made no progress in healing itself, maybe due to the severity of the wounds. "oh my gosh" kagome murmured, "I'm so sorry I was so busy with inu yasha a forgot you were here, let me help you." " I'm fine miko, I don't need your help or anyone elses, don't waste your time or mine." " Look, first, my name is kagome Ka- go- me and second you need help whether you'll admit it or not and I am going to help you, just let me take a look ok?" He looked for a second as though he was fighting with himself but finally deciding that he had no energy to fight back he said "fine if you insist, but I lord sesshomaru do not need any help from a human" he was disgusted to be left weak and in the care of a human, but what choice did he have if he wanted to live?
Kagome pulled out her first aid kit which she'd been carrying around for a while now. "ok you're going to have to take your shirt off so I can bandage your cuts," sesshomaru grunted, but complied. Kagome was beginning to feel very uncomfortable in the taiyoukai's presence, especially when she started thinking about how nice his abs were. "Aah" she said whacking herself in the head - she had to stay on task. Sesshomaru just gave her a funny look "is it common for your species to hit themselves out of nowhere?" he asked an expression of mild amusement running across his stony face for a moment, then leaving. "Yes, um I mean no" kagome stuttered, blushing red. "hmmm, I seem to have an odd effect on her indeed as he watched a blush creep up - no invade her face. It was then he started to be a little confused when he looked the miko in the eyes he found uncertain emotions running through him.
Kagome noticed the taiyoukai seemed to flinch at her touch and couldn't seem to meet her eye, "he hates me" she sighed in her head. Then she thought for a moment, the only people she had really seen avoid her gaze were inu yasha when he was thinking about kikyou and this boy at school who had a crush on her, but she couldn'tthink of a reason for the taiyoukai to act like this. "are you all right?" she asked, she got no answer and so continued to clean his cuts, "it's a good thing I can stand the sight of blood!" she thought.
She was still at it when Miroku and Sango returned with, Shippou, Rin, Jakken and kiyoka. "kiyoka, I didn't know you were hanyou" kagome exclaimed surprised. "yeah, I am" she replied quietly then she turned to sesshomaru "I miss my mom, can I see her now?" "No" sesshomaru said icily "she is as good as dead, from now on you will be under your father, inu yasha's care." Kiyoka was torn with emotions her young mind was not used to, her mother dead? He father alive? She burst into tears just as inu yasha came out of the forest saying "sesshomaru, you said I had a daughter, where is she?"
Sesshomaru merely pointed towards the sobbing figure in front of him, he felt that no matter the circumstances the idea of inu yasha being a father was ridiculous. The again he would have thought the same thing about himself before he met Rin, "yes inu yahsa will pull it off, even if he is rather stupid" he thought. Just then Rin ran up to him "are you hurt sesshomaru -sama?" "nothing serious Rin" he replied but we will be spending the night here, prepare yourself for bed. "you too shippou" kagome told the young fox demon. Kagome looked over to see inu yasha, tears streaming down his face with kiyoka in his arms. She couldn't help but wish she was there instead but she knew that inu yasha loved saeko and it would be at least another 50 years before he moved on, she wouldn't be alive that long and she knew that she had to move on alone. "You really do have a thing for dead girls" kagome said without thinking. "Kagome!" sango exclaimed, inu yasha just gave her a hurt look.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just. never mind I'm sorry." She got no reply in return but saw inu yasha tighten his grip on kiyoka. She felt a wave of guilt wash over her, she didn't want to hurt inu yasha just letting go was hard she had really thought that she had loved him and he her, but now she saw clearly. He loved her but was not in love with her and she realized that she felt the same way about him.
She continued to clean sesshomaru's wounds, he appeared to be asleep and her thoughts turned to him. He really was gorgeous and behind his icy mask she knew there was a nice person - or at least a decent person, she was sure of it. "I wonder how he got this way" she thought and brought her hand up to touch his cheek, it was warm. His eyes sprang open immediately " and what are you doing miko?" he asked "my name is kagome remember?" kagome stated "anyways, sorry I was just thinking." he shut his eyes once again and she continued helping.
She didn't realize how long she'd been at it until she glanced around her and saw that everyone else was asleep. Shippou and Rin on opposite sides of the fire and surpriseingly miroku and sango rather close together holding hands. Then there was inu yasha and kiyoka, despite inu yasha's speech to shippou about how grown men didn't cry in front of others, he had tear stains on his cheeks and kiyoka in his arms. Kagome finished bandaging sesshomaru, he opened his eyes and said "thank you kagome" while pulling his shirt back on.
She was surprised, not just at the thank you but also at the use of her name. It was then that she realized the events of the day, she had know what happened but was suddenly really aware of the fight and the outcome, Saeko was dead or nearly dead. Her friend who had been there by her side when something came up, was as good as gone. She burst into tears and fell against sesshomaru, her sobs muffled ny his chest.
He was totally dumbstruck, the miko "no kagome" he corrected himself was.. well he really didn't know what to do he'd never experienced this before. Again confusing emotions ran through him, a protectiveness of kagome he felt as though he'd do anything for her, he wouldn't just kill naraku for saeko but for causing kagome this pain. "no" he thought, "I do now care for humans, particularly one who is in love with inu yasha. He knew in his hear t she no longer had any such feelings for his bastard brother - at least not very strong ones but he wanted an excuse, any excuse to hate her.
He decided to make her move before she confused him anymore, despite her obvious distress - he did not care for humans, well except for Rin. Before he could do so he glanced down to see she had fallen asleep in his arm. He didn't have the heart to make her move, he felt his mask calm mask start to slip but replaced it immediately. Yes, he would let her stay where she was, after all he owed her for helping him even if he hated to admit to being in debt to a human.
Kagome woke in surprise to find her self in the arm of the taiyoukai, he was still asleep with her in a tight embrace. She felt she should move before the others woke up, but she didn't want to, she felt too secure and content. The others were slowly brought around by the sun, inu yasha and kiyoka had been up long ago and were gone, though where to kagome didn't know. She supposed they hadn't gone far, just to spend some bonding time or something.
She felt the taiyoukai's grip loosen. "kagome, move" he commanded rather bluntly. Any nice thoughts she had been thinking of him disappeared at this blunt comment. A bit embarrassed she stood up in a hurry, hitting her head on a low branch causing sango and miroku to laugh. Shippou and Rin were playing off in the tall grass, "comfortable?" sango asked with a laugh. Kagome merely shot her an annoyed glanced "you looked pretty comfortable yourself" she teased then proceeded to make breakfast.
Kagome watched as sesshomaru walked over to Rin and bent down beside her. Rin through her arms around his neck "really, sesshomaru-sama? Rin can stay and play with shippou?" "yes Rin, you may," with that he stood up and walked towards kagome, she smiled at him. Her heart sped up when his gaze met hers, "yes maybe there is hope for us- I mean him yet" kagome thought. "I would like to help him, he needs a friend, now if only I could get past his defenses".
Just then inu yasha came into sight, carrying kiyoka "come on, we're leaving now!" he yelled. "where are we going?" kagome asked. "To save Saeko" inu yahsa replied, "I may have failed her once but I won't again, bring the shikon no tama." They were all ready to go within seconds, those who knew Saeko would have done anything for her and those who didn't knew that anyone inu yasha and sesshomaru cared for this much was worth fighting for.
"Shippou, Rin, follow Jakken back to my castle and wait for us there" sesshomaru ordered. "What about kiyoka?" kagome asked suspiciously, "she is coming with us, now come on!" inu yasha yelled. "Miroku, Sango you ride on kirara, I'll take kiyoka and kagome.. uh you go with sesshomaru, please?" inu yasha said rather pathetically. "I will not carry a pathetic human" sesshomaru stated. "I am NOT a pathetic human" kagome yelled, "I helped you, it's your turn to help us" then in an undertone she added "I thought we had begun to be friends, I guess I was wrong." Astonished that kagome had the nerve to speak to him like that and surprised she didn't hate him he said nothing. After an awkward silence he growled "fine let's go," he shoved me onto his back (piggyback style). With that we were off with one goal in mind : to rescue saeko.
