Chapter 14
Sesshomaru protects Kagome from Inuyasha?
Sesshomaru, Kagome, and company were walking to the castle still the have not stopped for a break and it was turning into night fall. Stars were coming out crickets were starting to chirp in the night, fireflies around the tress not far. Soul collectors with souls passing by. 'SOUL COLLECTERS!?' Kagome instantly tensed up and Sesshomaru could tell.
"What is it?" He asked with the interest of her fear
"Th-the soul col-lectors, their Kik-Kikyous" she stood still trying to make the words come out of her mouth
"The dead wench?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her
"Yes, may I please go over there? Something might be wrong. I need to know!" She pleaded
"Does it have and concern of you?"
"Yes... no... kind of, please?"
He looked towards the blue orbs that were souls narrowing his eyes more and more. "Lets take a look"
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru" she ran towards it while the others walked and Rin jumped off of An&Un and was about to run with Kagome,
"Stop Rin"
Rin looked at him and froze "Huh?"
"Do not go no further" is all he said and stopped in his place because he could hear from that distance he walked to which was only about 30 feet from where Kagome ran off from.
"Why Milord? I want to see too." She looked at him with a cute puzzled face but Sesshomaru didn't look at her, he just kept looking forth where the stench of the dead women was and where Kagome had run off to.
"Inuyasha! Why did you not tell her to departure from the world to die?"
"Kikyou, I can't tell her that"
"Does she mean more to you than I!? With her gone I can live once again, and we may be together once again." She sounded so cold; the malice in her voice was giving Kagome chills down her spine as she was arriving behind a tree to see what was going on. Kagome wasn't surprised to see Inuyasha with her though, he always was. It always did hurt her heart seeing him with her.
"..." was he Inuyasha could say to Kikyou, and it looked like he didn't want to even answer her.
"Do you not love me?" Trying to hide her malice voice to him
"Of course I love you! I never stop thinking of you!" He said it loud to where even Rins ears could even hear it though she was just playing in the grass and stopped because of the conversation from the distance far away. Sesshomaru gave no facial expression, he didn't care, or did he? 'Loving a human is low... but loving a dead one, is even lower' was all he thought.
"I shall come back later because the sun is starting to come up; and I hate the light, goodbye" Her soul collectors picked her up and as leaving Inuyasha as if she was flying with silver-white ribbons.
"Kikyou wait... Kikyou! Don't go!" He yelled into the starry sky and heard a shutter behind the tree
"Who's there!?" please don't be...'
Inuyasha took two steps toward where the noise came from and heard the figure crying where it was hiding. He looked behind the tree to see who it was, Inuyasha was right, it was Kagome. He felt so guilty; knowing that when Kagome leaves he goes to see Kikyou about 'love' and such. He saw fear in Kagome's eyes with so many tears; he never liked that especially when he caused them. "I hate you... You'll see her soon just because I won't! I should've just stayed dead! You wouldn't care, and I thought you did!" she ran away sprinting with all her strength with tears in her eyes she wanted to get away from him so badly, but who wouldn't. "Wait Kagome!" Inuyasha wanted to talk to her and started to run after her. Sesshomaru heard Kagome yelling at Inuyasha and smelt her tears and she came closer to the others and him. Kagome was in his sight, and ran then behind him away from Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were shocked by this; Kagome was using Sesshomaru as protection from Inuyasha, the one he thought she loved. "Stay back or I'll kill you Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said it so coldly to Inuyasha that he stopped in his tracks. "Let me talk to Kagome." He sounded a little startled from Sesshomaru helping Kagome get away from him. "I want to... no I need to talk to Kagome, move!" "I will do no such thing" "Let me talk to her!" When he said that Sesshomaru looked towards Kagome to see if she wanted to, she was still crying muttering that she hated Inuyasha and never wanted to talk to him again.
Sesshomaru wanting to go to his castle now anyways. "Fool, why ask to talk to a women you truly don't love? You love dirt and clay that can become what looks like human any more." "SHUT UP SESSHOMARU! I LOVE KAGOME!" "Fool, you said you loved the dead wench. How is it possible to love two wenches?" "..." Inuyasha couldn't answer that "Such a point of weakness for you brother, since you love the dead I shall kill this wench after 6 months have past, and I don't think she would bother to care." "NO! YOU CAN'T KILL HER!" "Shut up half-breed" "YOU BASTARD LET ME TALK TO HER!" "No" Inuyasha wanted to pick of fight and brought out the Tetseiga and heard Kagome talking to Sesshomaru "Lord Sesshomaru, may we go to the castle now? I'm tired of hearing him" she sounded so scared and terrified, every word they said stayed in her mind and kept crying. From that moment Sesshomaru listened to Kagome and took their leave toward the castle of the west. Kagome was on his right side which was away from Inuyasha's sight, Jaken was on Sesshomaru's left, and Rin was on Ah&Un's back, she seemed a little scared of Inuyasha now but she yelled out "YOU MEAN DOG MAN! I HATE YOU TOO! YOU MAKE LADY KAGOME CRY!". Inuyasha wanted to say sorry so badly to get the guilt off him, but it never happened and it never will, so he just walked to the hut in silence, thinking of all what has happened today.
'I'm such an idiot. I made it such a big deal when Kagome died. She came back to life because of me, because I told her I can't live without her. Then all of a sudden I go see Kikyou and Kagome saw us. Sigh I've done this to her so many times, I do to much to her. I cause her pain, agony, even tears. But still... why did my brother help and protect her... from me?'
Sesshomaru constantly averted his eyes to look at Kagome on his side to see if she was feeling better, but all he saw was the pain she had in her and she was still crying but not as hard as she did a while ago. "You may stop crying... Kagome" He never turned his head to say it but just kept looking forwards to where they were going. Kagome gasped because she was surprised at what he said, not to mention he startled her. "I know... I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru" she tried to stop her tears but they just kept continuing with pain.
Inuyasha was almost at Kaede's hut and had one thing on his mind. He turned back where he last saw her, hiding away from him. "Kagome..." and then continued back to the hut. When he goes to the hut he won't like it, not one little bit
Sorry guys... it's going to take me a day or two per chapter I make now because school started so I'll still be working on this when I can but I need my breaks, so I work on the next one either later on today or tommorrow! Thanks for the reviews also.
