AN: I know it's been awhile since I last updated but I have a whole bag of excuses as to why.

1) I don't have internet access at home and the only time I could even read was at the library

(btw – you can't update your pages at the library. The computers with internet access don't

have word processors and vice versa.) 2) I had a summer job that took up some time. 3) My

dog ran away/died ( Very confusing. I will not get into it.) 4) ( The most important reason) You

guys didn't give me a lot of reviews. I know I said that I was happy with the reviews that I got

but I really am a very selfish person and I wish that more of you guys would review. I don't care

if you flame me, that's okay. Flame away!!! Just review, alright. Anyway, for those who really

want to know who Kagome's savior was, it was Sesshomaru. I mean, come on, guys. The only

person who could have brought a dead girl back to life was Sesshomaru and his sword ,

Tenseiga. So, Gemflame, gurlhishere13, and Bee Bop you guys are very smart and you get extra

points. Well , I hope you like it!!!!!!

Chapter 4 Youkai Savior

Kagome could feel cool air all around her and it chilled her to the bone. She remembered the

feel of a snake coiled around her body and her hand subconsciously flew to her stomach. All the

time her eyes were closed. Kagome was afraid that if she opened them, she wouldn't be in

Kaede's hut, or at home, or even in the forest where she was attacked. She would be ... where?

Heaven? Hell? She did not know and that thought scared her almost as much as the thought of

never seeing Inuyasha again, even if he was with Kikyo.

Kagome forced her eyes open, deciding that she couldn't let her fear rule her. The bright sunlight

burned her eyes, and she instantly thought that she was where the soul gatherers had left her. As

her eyes focused, she noticed that she was not in the forest. Her mouth flew open as she took in

the sight before. Kagome was in a bedroom with high ceiling, white washed walls and an elegant

décor. Yet, strangely enough, the room seemed to remind her of a cave. She shivered, not

because she was cold but because she had a strange feeling in her gut, like something was

wrong. At a second glance Kagome realized that everything in the room was white and a lot of

things, like the pillows and blankets, were fuzzy or furry. Instantly, Kagome's mind ran to an

image of the furry white "something" Sesshomaru wore around his neck. Her breath caught in

her throat as she was struck with realization of where she was. Kagome was in Sesshomaru's

home!!!!!

Inuyasha jumped from tree top to tree top, frantically trying to find Kagome. He had lost her

scent, like she was masking it or something. He was going out of his mind not knowing if

Kagome was hurt or sick or worse!!!! Then it hit him. Maybe Kagome didn't want to be found.

He didn't blame her, after what he had done. Still, the thought that Kagome didn't want to be

with him anymore was like the weight of a thousand stones upon his chest. He couldn't move.

He couldn't breathe. He couldn't do anything. Just then, Inuyasha felt a few drops of water hit

his face. Moments later, a downpour erupted from the clouds. Kami – sama, he thought. It

seems someone feels my pain.

Why did I do it? The question lingered in the back of Sesshomaru's mind. He tried to recall the

event. He had gone ahead of Rin and Jaken to kill a powerful youkai. The point was to keep Rin

safe and away from a battle where some sly youkai might try to hurt her. As Sesshomaru headed

back to meet his vassal and young ward, he came across the body of a young miko in strange

clothes lying limply in the grass. As it registered in his mind who the young girl was, a slightly

familiar emotion washed over him. Before he knew what he was doing, he pulled out Tenseiga

and slashed the demons of death that surrounded the lifeless body, trying to collect the soul. He

could have left her there to fend for her self after that or he could bring her to his half - brother,

but neither choice seemed to be right. The girl obviously couldn't make it alone or she wouldn't

have been killed in the first place. And if his half - brother had any sense, he would have been

there to save her or at least to to carry her lifeless body away.

Sesshomaru had such intense feelings swirling inside of him and he didn't like it, not one bit. All

he knew was that it had something to do with this... this girl. He told himself that he was going to

bring this girl home to help him sort things out but he knew that was just shadow he cast over

what he truly wanted. But if he would admit to himself what he really wanted was the real

question.
