Well, I'm giving the fanfic thing a shot. As you can see there is no commentary on the last chapter because frankly, I had no clue how to work this site ^-^ But now I do. So please read, and I BEG YOU, please review! DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inu yasha or nay of the following characters. I just own this sad excuse of a fanfic.
*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He hadn't really asked her if she was willing to come with him, he just picked her up. When she didn't say anything he assumed she was still just to shaken to realize what was going on. As he gracefully bounded from tree to tree he took a small glance at her. Her eyes were distant; it was as if her mind had left her. He tried to imagine how she must feel. But he found no point to love so he had a hard time understanding her behavior. Surely he expected her to be sad, but this, this was like a living death. Normally she would be screaming and struggling in his arms. Instead she only silently stared ahead.
As he drew nearer to his destination the trees began to thin and he was forced to take bigger leaps to reach each branch. He dropped to the ground and looked up at his grand fortress. He thought about setting her down but he doubted her legs would hold. He knew not whether this was do to the over use of them the night before or because of pure lack of motivation. He pushed open the huge oak door and stepped into a torch lit, stone hall. He smiled, this hall was part of the fortress his dad had designed all those years ago. If this wasn't a demon's lair he didn't know what was. Each step he took echoed eerily of the cold stonewalls. The floor mirrored the walls and the ceiling was adorned with candle-bearing chandeliers. Each fixture was made of the bones of past foes.
As he walked further into the entrance his sensitive hearing picked up the sound off two sets of small feet patting towards him. Rin was the first to burst around the corner and lock her arms around his legs. He did his best to ignore the child's warmth. Jaken came soon after her; going on about how happy he was to have his master back. At least Rin knew how to shut up.
Jaken's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he finally noticed Kagome. " Lord Sesshomaru! Isn't that Inu yasha's mortal wench?" Sesshomaru pried Rin off his legs and began walking forward before answering " Yes. I found her near the eastern border." He kept walking until he reached a grand marble staircase. He then turned "She will be staying with us until I get the answers I desire." He continued up the stairs. "But my lord! What is wrong with her? Why does she not react to that which surrounds her?" Sesshomaru stopped and faced the small green servant. "My dirty half-breed brother, Inu yasha…I have reason to believe he is dead. Thus you can imagine the impact it's had on her." Jaken's eyes once again threatened to leave his skull. "Inu yasha has died? My Lord, who has killed him?" Sesshomaru was well on his way to the top floor and Jaken had to scuttle after him to hear his words. "That's one of the questions I wish this girl to answer." "So force her with your might to-…" Sesshomaru cut him off "Her mind is lost to her misery. She refuses to face and accept reality." He looked down at her; her sobs had grown ever so slightly through their conversation. He turned into one of the many guest rooms that were once used for his father's company. Lighting the room with the gentle glow of a few dusty candles, he set her gently on the feather bed. "But humans tend to heal with time. She will be able to talk to us soon enough."
He shooed Jaken from the room with a wave of his hand. Using his senses to make sure he was gone he took one last look at the pitiful girl before him. "Your heart will heal. And if you need me, I will be here." He had said this in a whisper, so ashamed and surprised of his own words. Even so, for the first time, Kagome's eyes seem to focus. Her big brown orbs found his face, and…she smiled.
