~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Inuyasha looked up at the stars. 'Kagome where are you?' he wondered internally. He sighed
heavily and turned to his side, inhaling the sweet scent of the summer grass. His silvery hair blew like
rippling waves in the gentle breeze. His amber eyes reflected off of the moonlight, shining like new copper.
Sango sat beside him, gazing up and the diamond-sprinkled sky.
"Are you worried Inuyasha?" She asked. He shook himself out of his daze and sat erect.
"Worried? About Kagome? Feh." He scoffed. Sango looked at him, begging for the truth. He
looked at her momentarily and turned his head toward the sky once more. "Of course I am worried.
Sesshoumaru is not exactly what you would call friendly you know. And I wonder Sango; do you think that
she is underneath the same unending sky, thinking about us?"
"Yes Inuyasha, I believe she is. Don't worry, we will get her back, and when she does get back, I
won't tell her about this conversation," she smiled knowingly. He nodded with appreciation.
.::Meanwhile::.
Kagome ran her hand over the smooth white marble railing. The wind whispered his name into her
ear, "Inuyasha." Though she enjoyed Rin's company, she missed having freedom. Sesshoumaru had not
changed his ways and still showed dislike and disgust when it came to her. He refused to look her in the
eye, and believed that he was superior. Her mind drifted off into a world of dreams. She was on the
balcony, and the stars above were glowing brightly, shedding a pale light where she stood, back against the
rail. Suddenly, a hand took hold of hers, and she let out a gasp, turning around to face the person. Two
furry ears appeared over the side of the balcony, and amber eyes met with hers. Inuyasha pulled himself up.
He smiled slyly and pulled her into his arms, his lips linked with hers. She ran her fingers through his
smooth silvery hair, wishing the moment would never end. She pulled away and stared into his amber eyes,
drowning in their depth, and then falling back into his kiss.
She opened her eyes and stood there, lost in the harsh reality of being alone. Kagome shivered in
the chilly air. Reaching out, she tried to grasp something, but found that nothing was there. She felt herself
falling and realized that she had leaned too far over the balcony. Fear gripped her, and her heart skipped a
beat. 'I am going to die. After facing all of those demons and tracking Naraku, I had never thought that it
would end like this. Falling from a balcony while daydreaming of Inuyasha. What a dignified way to leave
this world.' She reached out once again, trying to take hold of anything she could. A hand took hold of hers
and hoisted her up onto a window ledge. It was Sesshoumaru. "Why did you save me?" she asked.
"Careless human, you should pay attention to what you are doing. And do not think that I saved
you for personal reasons. For I just do not wish Rin to be alone." He turned his back on her suddenly and
began to walk. He stopped for a moment, glanced back, and continued striding away. His stare was cold,
and sent chills down her spine. But still, he had saved her, and she was eternally grateful for that. And
though his glare was not kind, she could still sense the smallest hint of kindness in his voice.
Sesshoumaru stretched gracefully. Suddenly, his ears came alert to a distant song. A soft, sweet
melody was being sung by what appeared to be Kagome. Ever since he had saved her, they seemed to have
grown the slightest bit closer. She was now allowed to roam the grounds freely. Everyday he heard her sing
that same tune, until he found that he himself was humming the melody.
Sesshoumaru perched in a Sakura tree one afternoon, watching the blooming cherry blossoms
blow in the soft breeze. Unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice ask, "May I join you?" He gazed down to
see Kagome staring up at him. His head slowly moved up and down, and she climbed onto the branch
beside him. Her hand was nearly touching his, and yet he did not cringe and pull away as he usually did.
Kagome had grown accustomed to his silence, and actually, she found the peacefulness very calming. She
took a chance and said, "Sesshoumaru?" His pointy ears perked up. "You and I, we seemingly, at least in
my point of view, have grown closer over these past two weeks. And I was just wondering, that is, how do
you feel- that is- about-me?" He turned toward Kagome, and she melted. Leaning toward her, their lips met
and they kissed. Abruptly Kagome pulled away. "Ouch!" she said, "Your fang cut my lip! OWW!!!!!!!!"
Sesshoumaru pulled away, surprised. "Oops. I am terribly Sorry Kagome."
Kagome was busy blotting her lip with a handkerchief. "It is all right. It wasn't your fault."
Both blushed furiously. Sesshoumaru got up after a few moments, a deep shade of magenta, and
walked away, quite embarrassed at himself for what he had done, though Kagome reassured him she was
fine. After remaining in the tree a while longer, Kagome headed to the castle. At dinner it seemed as if
nothing had happened, other than Kagome felt a bit woozy. She decided to go to bed early. She walked
slowly through the halls, her breath becoming heavy and staggered. Limping into her room, she collapsed
onto the bed and immediately was rendered unconscious.
~*~INU AND THE GANG~*~
"There's the castle! Hurry! Come on!" called Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku rode atop Kirara, while
Shippo rode on the back of Inuyasha. Inuyasha dashed to the entrance and easily passed through the gate.
The others were held back.
"There is a barrier Inuyasha! We cannot get through!" called Miroku.
'Then I will have to rescue Kagome on my own,' thought Inuyasha, taking hold of Tesuisaiga's
handle. He easily scaled the castle wall, sniffing for Kagome's unmistakable scent of honey, cherry
blossoms, and something else that he couldn't quite put his finger on, but he liked it anyways. He caught
her scent on the air and climbed onto her balcony, ripping open the curtains. "Kagome?" He whispered
urgently. He then saw her passed out on the bed. "Kagome!" he called, rushing to her side and cradling her
in his arms. He could smell the foul scent of poison on her breath. "Sesshoumaru," he growled softly, a
look of pure sorrow and anger on his face.
