AN: Not a happy chapter......
~*~Chapter 6: No Going Back~*~
~*~Last time~*~
"You can't have either of them!" He yelled, a hand on Tetsusaiga.
"You haven't marked either of them Inuyasha, or does your hanyou self not know how to do that?"
"I don't care! You can't have Kagome!"
"But love......" Kikyo started, Inuyasha silenced her with a kiss. Sesshoumaru could almost hear Kagome's heart rip in two.
~*~*~
"In...Inu..yasha." Kagome whispered. The hanyou didn't seem to hear her.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said a bit louder, still the hanyou didn't hear her. Kikyo broke the kiss and looked at Kagome with an evil smirk on her face.
"Inuyasha is mine." Kikyo said. "Inuyasha, will you come with me?" Inuyasha looked at the dead miko.
"Yes Kikyo, I will."
"Inuyasha." Kagome said. Inuyasha finally seemed to hear her and looked up with a pained look on his face.
"Kagome....I'm sorry." Kikyo brought the hanyou into another kiss. Kagome couldn't tear herself away from what was happening in front of her, thankfully Sesshoumaru did that for her. He flew off, the miko still in his arms. His baka of a brother had chosen the dead miko, fallen into her trap. Sesshoumaru landed about a mile away and let the miko in his arms go.
"I never thought....." Kagome started, turning around and looking at Sesshoumaru. "But than again...he's always loved her. I should have known." Sesshoumaru just stood there. Suddenly Kagome lunged at him. He caught her fist just as it was about to connect with his face.
"What are you doing woman?" He asked. She didn't answer as she attempted to hit him with her other hand. He caught that one as well. "What are you doing woman?" He asked again. She ripped her hands out of his grasp and attacked him again, her punches bouncing off his armor.
'She's gone mad.' Sesshoumaru thought. Least to say he was surprised, never before had a human attacked him like this.
"Why are you letting a weak human like me hit you?" She asked.
'She's angry, yet she's crying at the same time.' The Taiyoukai looked at the miko hitting his chest over and over. "Stop this miko, you are starting to annoy me."
"Good!" She yelled. "What are you going to do about it?" She attacked him again, he caught her right wrist and squeezed it hard. She whimpered some when she felt the bone snap but attacked with her other hand.
'What is she trying to do?' Sesshoumaru asked himself. She went to punch him with her left hand when he stepped behind her and grabbed her arm, bringing it behind her back. "What are you doing?" Sesshoumaru growled in her ear. She started crying fresh tears but elbowed him with her right arm, ignoring the pain of her broken wrist. Sesshoumaru growled and dug his claws into her left arm, making Kagome cry out in pain. "You will stop this madness miko."
"Why?" She asked him, spinning around and releasing her left arm from his grasp, only he wouldn't let her go, resulting in her arm popping out of the socket. Now her right wrist was broken and her left arm was useless. Sesshoumaru thought she was done until she lashed out with her left foot. Her kick connected with his knee, earning a growl from him.
'Does she not value her life?' He asked himself. He slammed her against a tree, a hand around her neck. She kicked out again and found more pain as her foot hit his spiked armor, that didn't stop her from finishing the kick. Sesshoumaru dropped her as her foot caught him under the chin.
"Stop playing with me Sesshoumaru, you stupid no good bastard." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru growled and Kagome smirked.
'She is smirking yet still crying?' Sesshoumaru was confused, and why hadn't she fainted from all the pain? Kagome continued to try and kick him, he dodged and watched as her balance went and she was on the ground. Every time she landed on the ground from one of her unsuccessful kicks, she continued getting up and attacking him.
Suddenly Kagome attacked him and he slammed her against another tree, his clawed hand around her neck again.
"Stupid no good bastard." Kagome said to him. He growled and dug his claws into the back of her neck, blood started dipping from the wounds.
"What are you trying to do miko?" Sesshoumaru asked. She looked at him, still crying, and it wasn't from the pain of her wounds.
"Sesshoumaru......I don't want to live, I've lost Inuyasha...."
'She doesn't value her life. She is trying to provoke me into killing her.' Sesshoumaru thought. Painful memories flooded back to the Taiyoukai. Memories of his mother, when she killed herself after his father took Inuyasha's mother to his bed.
"You said you were going to kill me anyway, now I ask you to." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru looked at her and growled.
'I've no reason to live, Inuyasha is gone....why bother living anymore?' Kagome thought to herself.
"You are foolish if you think killing yourself just because of my bother is a good idea." Sesshoumaru said, growling. Kagome looked at him with a pained look.
"But-"
"But nothing Kagome. You think killing yourself will change how Inuyasha feels for you?"
"I-"
"You know nothing of suicide." Sesshoumaru said coldly.
"But I have no reason to go on. Why bother?" Kagome asked, her eyes blank.
"What of your pup?" Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked at him.
"What-"
"Your pup, the fox that follows you around. You may not have heard him whimpering 'mother' when I confronted Inuyasha for Tetsusaiga but I did."
"Shippou......" Kagome's eyes started filling with life again. "But weren't you going to kill me anyway?"
"I only said that your life was mine to as I wish. It does not mean that I will kill you. As you said, I am not as cold-blooded as I look."
"So you weren't....." Kagome looked him in the eyes.
"I had no reason to." Sesshoumaru watched as her eyes dulled again.
"But Inuyasha-"
"Has chosen another, the baka, but has no less chosen someone else."
"So why bother-"Kagome was startled when Sesshoumaru growled violently.
"Would you leave your pup orphaned again? Would you leave the monk and huntress alone? Would you leave your family to morn for you?" Sesshoumaru let go of Kagome's neck.
"I...I...." Kagome broke into a fresh wave of tears. "Oh Sesshoumaru." She suddenly fell against his chest and wept. He stood there until she was done. Kagome looked at him. "Thank you, I-"
"There is no need to thank me. I couldn't stop my mother from killing herself, I will not watch as another takes their life for no reason." Sesshoumaru said. "Shall we get you back to your pup?" Kagome nodded, sniffing.
