The Other Side of the Mirror
Chapter 7: Help
Jaken, the Thunder Brothers, and Yura, bolted to the room. Jaken tried to get to the door, but Kit stopped him. "Out of the way-" he sniffed the air, "Why do you smell-?" He gasped, "You traitor! Lord Sesshoumaru! Lady Kagome!"
Kit stopped the frog demon from running into the room. "Leave them alone," he said threateningly.
"Why do you smell like Lady Kagome's blood?!"
"Leave me alone," he answered half-heatedly, and kept walking.
"Stop!" Hiten yelled.
"Yes, don't move!" Manten blocked his way.
"Out of my way."
"Why do you smell like blood?!" Jaken ordered.
"I did only what his lordship commanded."
"We will not let us pass until you tell us the-"
"Jaken!" Sesshoumaru slammed the door open, "All of you! Leave Kit alone!" He sighed, "Get out of my sight, all of you."
"Lord Sessh-" Jaken started, but his lord simply slammed the heavy door in his face.
Sesshoumaru heard the confused and slightly hurt demons leave. He fell to his knees, his entire body felt numb. He had failed. His wife was tortured. He let his child die. How many chances did one demon get? If he failed again, would Kagome's life be the price?! He needed something to tear apart. He wanted that something to be Inu-Yasha, but right now, that just wasn't an option. Kagome, his mate, his *love*...how could he tell her? She probably hadn't even known. He walked to the bed where he had placed her. She was pale, but still so beautiful. How could Inu-Yasha even think of hurting her?
"Ses-sh-" she struggled.
He lay on the bed next to her and snuggled close. "Don't speak," he whispered into her ear. It didn't matter how he felt right now, his priority was to console Kagome. And after she was well again, he would kill Inu-Yasha. Even if it cost him his life, that bastard would pay for hurting her. As slowly and painfully as Sesshoumaru felt was necessary.
Inu-Yasha ran as fast as his legs could possibly take him. (Yay! Look! I got back to Inu-Yasha's part!) Kagome had stopped bleeding, but her breathing and heartbeat were much too slow for his liking. He had to get her to Kaede's.
"Help-" she choked on the whispered word. Inu-Yasha felt his heart pound. "Hang on, Kagome! We're almost there!"
"Sessh-ou-maru-" she struggled greatly.
Inu-Yasha's blood started to boil. How dare Sesshoumaru?! He pulled her tighter to him, almost absentmindedly. "Don't worry, Kagome. As soon as I'm sure you're better, I'll kill him with my bare hands."
But Kagome didn't hear his vow, she had fainted again. Inu-Yasha prayed that she wasn't in pain. What the hell happened?! He must have been knocked out for a *long* time. Kagome looked like she had been tortured for weeks! Sesshoumaru must have used some spell.
Finally! The vill-
"No," Inu-Yasha whispered. "No!" The village was burned and all but two huts were reduced to smoldering rubble. "Kaede!" He yelled, "Kaede!" He ran to the first hut.
The old miko walked out because of the yelling, her eyes widened at the sight, "Inu-Yasha?!"
He ran to her. "Kaede-baba! You-you have to help Kagome! She-"
"No," the elderly miko answered simply. "I will not heal her so that you can hurt her more. Kill me if you wish, but I will not allow you to torture her any longer."
"Dimmitt, Kaede! Help her!"
"Leave Inu-Yasha. I would rather see her die, then in pain because of you."
"Ka-" Kagome wheezed, "Kaede," she sobbed, "Please, help me."
The old miko's eyes flashed with pain. "I'm sorry, but I won't"
Inu-Yasha fell to his knees at the miko's feet. "Please, Kaede-baba," tears started to fall from his eyes. "Please! She can't die. Kaede, what do I have to do to get you to save her?!"
Kaede sighed, "Tell me, Inu-Yasha, who was it who hurt her?"
He looked away shamefully, "Sesshoumaru."
Kaede gasped, "Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Inu-Yasha's ears twitched, then flattened against his skull as if her was trying to block out what he had just heard. "Sama?!" Why would Kaede call that bastard that? She knew of all the things he had done to them!
The miko swallowed, "Come inside, I'll help, but any tricks, and I'll pin you to that tree, just like my sister!"
A/N: I will end there for now. Kinda sad huh? Why won't Kaede help? She thinks that it's the Inu-Yasha she knows. Well, to tell you the truth, cant think of anymore notes for this chapter. I have a 4-day weekend that starts today, so I hope to get a lot of chapters posted. Nighty-night!
P.S. Please review!
