Sesshomaru drove silently through the streets. He dare not make a sound, because Kikyo could easily kill him in an instant. He had to get her home though, otherwise people would ask about what happened, and he couldn't let anyone know of the events that occurred that night. He didn't want to think about what would happen if anyone did, in fact, find out. What would he say? What would they do? His head was reeling, but he forced those thoughts out and focused only on driving Kikyo home.
Sesshomaru didn't know why he even bothered. She had tried to kill him, and therefore did not deserve his kindness. Why am I being so nice anyway? Its probably because of Kagome. That girl is softening me. But no matter how hard Sesshomaru tried to hate Kagome because she was human, because she was stupid, he could not. He kept picturing the girl, sitting on the ground of her dream-world, weeping. Crying because she did not want to be left alone. Of all the things to cry over, she chooses that one…that human is hard to figure out, I'll grant her that.
He finally got to her house, and pulled in the driveway. It was so desolate and silent, it was almost unbearable. He picked Kikyo up and dropped her on the doorstep. As he was getting back in his car, Naraku stepped out of the house, his eyes vacant. Sesshomaru looked at him in surprise. Naraku made no move to talk to him, it didn't seem like Naraku saw him. His eyes were totally blank, no expression at all. He just went out, picked up Kikyo and took her inside.
On the drive back to the hospital, Sesshomaru's mind was spinning. What drove Kikyo to try and kill him? And what was with Naraku? He shook his head, attempting to rid himself of these confusing thoughts. He was unsuccessful and only found himself drawn deeper into the mystery surrounding Kagome and her family.
Back at Kikyo's house…
Kikyo awoke on her bed with Naraku staring off into space. "You big oaf, I'm awake! Snap out of this state!" Naraku blinked. And within that millisecond that his eyes were closed, something changed.
"So, you have awoken. Good, now I can get some rest."
"How did I get here?"
"Sesshomaru brought you."
Kikyo fumed. She knew that now, more than ever, Sesshomaru had to die. He was interfering greatly in her plans. She had to get Kagome, she wanted what was rightly hers, and to get it, that wretch had to die.
A/N: Sorry for the late chapter…I'm writing this story as I go, and I had a REALLY bad case of writers block. That, mixed with my feeling like shi…crap. Oi, if I get a cold, expect a delay in the chapters. I normally write them at about 2:00 in the morning, somewhere around there. That, and my sister just moved into college. So I've been busy, feeling crappy, and I also had writers block to top it all off. Anyway, thanks for the reviews! I love you all! Except for you, flamers! Though I haven't gotten a flame recently…ok, I have to stop writing now. Ok bye! Don't forget to review!
