Confessions and Revivals

A dark figure emerged from the bushes. It had long flowing silver hair and an intensive golden glare. His thin face was adorned by two purple scars on each of his cheeks and he wore something fluffy and resembling a scarf around his neck. It was Sesshomaru, InuYasha's half-brother.

Everyone took their battle stances, yet Sesshomaru kept on walking forward. He placed his hand on one of the two swords he carried. At seeing this Miroku and Sango tensed, while InuYasha, noticing which sword his brother was about to draw, sheathed his sword. At seeing this action made by their self proclaimed leader, Sango and Miroku immediately dropped their battle stances and moved out of Sesshomaru's way.

The Demon Lord continued to walk towards the corpse of the young Miko. He slowly unsheathed his sword, but before he could give the life saving blow, InuYasha burst out.

"May I know why the hell you are doing this?" He asked. Sesshomaru turned to face InuYasha.

"It is none of your business." Sesshomaru replied in what he thought was an unemotional voice. InuYasha though, knew otherwise, he saw in his brother's eyes great sadness and a wish to help. He also saw what resembled far away love. The type of love that is kept to oneself and never revealed. Miroku also saw this and then he whispered.

"You love her." He stated in disbelieve.

"Correction. bI used/b to love her, but after the appearance of Rin these feelings have changed and my heart belongs to another. Plus, Rin has a great affection for this Miko; she'd be devastated at the news of her death." With this said he gave one single slash towards Kagome's body.

"You'd hate for Rin to be in pain wouldn't you?" InuYasha asked. Sesshomaru ignored the comment and stated.

"It will be a minimum of a day for her to regain consciousness. She has been dead for at least a few hours." He gave one last glance towards Kagome before turning and leaving forever. 'What was that change in smell?'

Kagome now laid in a futon at Kaede's hut. After the gang had explained what happened Kaede had given instructions for Kagome to have complete rest.

InuYasha sat in a corner next to the futon. He thought about what had just happened. Kikyo was dead, but the attack InuYasha used had truly amazed him. Where had it come from?

Suddenly he felt something shift next to him. He saw Kagome's eyes flutter open. She was alive and for that he thanked his brother. One day he would have to thank him. Then in the instant Kagomes eyes opened completely there was a bright light.
