A/N: Howdees for the second time in one day, wowzers. Well, I am finally
home after four grueling hours of working at our fine mall...yeah right! I
should just stop complaining though and apologize for how short the first
chapter was. It was terrible, I know. I hastily threw it together in the
twenty minutes had before I went to work. Don't worry, I promise that the
next chapters will be much better.
AH! I forgot the disclaimer in the last one!: I do not own Inu-Yasha or any of the characters in Inu-Yasha, no matter how many times I tell a shooting star, it just won't listen to that one.
The Other Side of the Mirror
Ch. 2: The Great Awakening
Inu-Yasha shook his head groggily. He tried to remember what had happened, but nothing came to him. "Kagome?" He called softly, still trying to remember.
"Kagome?!" It finally hit him! She had been sucked in! Had he? Well he did distinctly remember being in the well house, but it was all still pretty fuzzy. Kagome wasn't near, he couldn't smell her; a bad sign. He carefully opened his eyes, he was right next to the bone-eater's well.Kagome should be here! But she was just a human. The sky looked as if it had been dark for a while, it had been just after noon when they left.if he, a half demon had bee knocked unconscious for so long, how could a human ever possibly-NO! He couldn't think like that.
He carefully stood, his legs felt so shaky, he didn't think that he could make it to Kaede's. But that *had* to be where Kagome was! But why would she have left him there? Wouldn't she have at least *tried* to wake him? Oh well, he'd think about that later, right now he needed to get to Kaede's, to make sure that Kagome was all right.
As sharp cry reached his ears. He turned and ran toward it, the way his day was going, he was not going to take any chances. Whoever was screaming had better be screaming for a good reason.
As he approached the screamer, the metallic smell of blood reached his nose and something silver flashed in the corner of his eye. He disregarded the flash quickly, the blood was getting to him. It wasn't just any blood.
"Kagome?!"
The young miko was lying face down on the ground, blood lightly splattered on a strange outfit. If Inu-Yasha hadn't had his sense of smell, he wouldn't have guessed that it had been her. But there was something wrong with her scent, it.it wasn't right. There was another smell, it was all over her, no it was.the stench was coating her own, it was- she smelled like-
Inu-Yasha felt his blood start to boil. How dare that bastard? It was bad enough that he actually hurt Kagome, not like that. Gods! Not like that! Please let him be wrong!
"Damn you, Sesshoumaru."
Kagome slowly woke. She didn't want to, she was so warm and comfortable. A pair of arms wrapped lightly around her waist, hugging her close to their owner. A soft, fluffy, fur blanket covered her legs. She felt so wonderful. She could seriously get used to having Inu-Yasha this close. Where did he ever manage to get the courage to sleep this close?
One of the hands around her waist pulled away, "So? You are finally awake?" Oh God that wasn't Inu-Yasha's voice!
Kagome turned to look straight into his eyes, and immediately tried to tear free. "Sesshoumaru?!"
He tightened his arms around her waist, determined to not release her. His tail retreated from her legs, "Kagome, what's wrong?"
She struggled in his grasp, but his demon strength would not release her. "Let me go!"
He quickly did so, Kagome scrambled away, falling off the bed.
Sesshoumaru leapt to her side in the blink of an eye, "Kagome, what's the matter?!"
Kagome started to back away slowly. This was not good, there she was, with Sesshoumaru, alone, and Inu-Yasha was nowhere to be found. "Please don't hurt me."
Sesshoumaru gawked at her, "W-why would I hurt you?"
The fear was just too much, uncontrolled tears started to fall from her eyes, "Please, please, I'm sorry. Please, don't hurt me!"
He couldn't take it anymore. He reached out and grabbed her, pulling her against his bare chest. That was when she noticed that he was wearing nothing but the loose pants of his formal garments. His skin was so soft, from the thin, short, fur that covered his body. Oh, he had a nice body. All muscles. He really was a powerful demon. Then why was he so gentile while he touched her now?
As if that was weird enough, he kissed her forehead. "What happened? Damn that hanyou! What did he do to make you so afraid?! I won't let him near you ever again, don't worry, Kagome. Speak to me, Kagome! Let me help!"
He sounded so helpless, so disparate, so.unlike the murderous, evil, full youkai that she had dealt with before. He was so nice, so reassuring, so gentile. The way he held her was so protective, she couldn't help but feel safe, even though it was him.
"Kagome, listen to me," Sesshoumaru spoke softly. "You're safe now. You're back home."
A/N: Heehee...I thought that that was a good place to stop. Slightly cliffy, ne? ah well. So it goes. I hope that this chapter is better then the last. I threw the last one together so quickly, I just wanted to get it over with. Well, now that I'm actually into the story here I can say this now! Read and Review peeps! But I must say that I believe flamers are mean, cruel, and should be kicked off the planet. It's called "CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISSIM!" Know how to use it! Bowdees till later! Oh, I will post a new chapter at least twice a week, I have most of the story finished, I just need to type it and post it! Well, bowdees for real!
