Chapter 2: Disappointments
Kara ran as fast as she could. It wouldn't take her long to find his castle but she was bombarded by lower class youkai. She easily took care of them but they had slowed her down. Since it was night fall she decided to set up camp. She picked a spot that was surrounded by trees but left a nice window for moonlight. She was in a somewhat safe spot in the forest. She set her pack down and gathered some fire wood. Setting up a small fire she leaned back onto her pack and looked up at the stars.
'I wonder how the others are doing. I wonder what Inuyasha is doing. Nani, why can't I get him out of my head. I am here trying to find my lost love and yet I am sitting here thinking about his brother. Grrrrrrr.' Suddenly she heard a young child's scream coming from deep in the forest.
She quickly got up and ran into the trees. With her keen sense of smell she located the child but was not happy about who else was there. It was a giant snake youkai that had tried to kill the poor child. Busting into the scene Kara placed herself infront of the small child.
"Who do you think you are! You will not pick on humans!!!" Kara yelled at the disgusting youkai.
"You will die for interrupting my dinner." he hissed back at her and then lunged.
Kara gave a small chuckle and spun in the air. She landed a foot on his head and was about to land another blow when his tail came and smacked her through the trees.
The young girl seeing Kara get hurt starting screaming more and more. Kara got up and ran to the little girl. "It's ok I won't let him get to you."
The little girl looked up at Kara with tear stung eyes. "Rin is very scared. Rin wishes Sesshomaru-sama was her to protect her."
"NANI. Did you say Sesshomaru!" Kara screamed in utter disbelief. Before she could say another word she felt the youkai's fangs seep into her neck and release poison. 'This is great. He is lower class I should be able to resist the poison. But damn there is so much....' With all her might she grabbed hold of her sword and ravished the youkai with unnumbered blows cutting him to pieces.
She fell to the ground beside the little girl. "Where do you need to be Rin?" Rin looked up at her with shining eyes. "Rin was only suppose to go fishing. But Rin ventured into the forest and the snake youkai tried to kill Rin, but the pretty lady with a tail saved Rin."
Kara looked down at the young girl and laughed. "Ok Rin the river is not far let me take you back maybe we can find your companions. 'She yelled out for Sesshomaru. Is she with him our is it someone different.' "We shall see." She said as she picked the little girl up and walked towards the river. Poison still seeping its way through her body.
"Jaken...where is Rin." Said a cool clam manly voice.
"She is fishing in the river." Jaken replied as he looked up to show his master that the girl was in the river. "Nani! She's gone!" Just as Jaken said that a figure with a sleeping child came into view.
"You! Why do you have Rin." Jaken yelled and ran over to the two.
Kara looked down at the toad and laughed. "Baka. She's asleep." She then kicked him far into the valley and continued walking.
When she reached the fire that Jaken had set up she looked into the trees. There sitting against the trunk of an old tree was the very man she had came to look for. She set Rin down who had waken during Kara's assault on Jaken. "Pretty lady can you tell me your name." Kara looked down at the young girl and smiled. "My name is Kara."
"Kara that's a pretty name. Now come with Rin to see Sesshomaru-sama!!" The little girl danced around Kara.
Kara felt a lump build in her throat as the young human dragged the wolf over to the sitting man.
"Sesshomaru-sama, Sesshomaru-sama!!!" The little girl yelled as she jumped into the dog lords lap.
"What is it Rin." He asked her.
"Sesshomaru-sama. Rin was attacked by a snake youkai and then Kara came and saved Rin from the mean youkai. But Kara got hurt badly." Rin squeeze out every word and pulled in a big gulp of air and tried to continue on but was stopped by Sesshomaru.
"Rin, where is the girl that saved you?" He said then sniffed the air. His eyes immediately shot open and he looked up a Kara.
"Kara......." He said with very much uncertainty.
"Hai. Sesshomaru." She looked down at the youkai lord. 'My he has really grown into his looks.' Kara let a small giggle out of her mouth before she winced in pain and fell to the ground. "Gomen.....Can you please help me with my wounds?"
Sesshomaru picked Rin out of his lap and walked over to Kara. He sat on the ground infront of her and picked up her hands. "Kara, is it really you?" he pushed back her hair and saw his sign on her collarbone. "It is you.." he said quietly as he sat down and began to look at her wounds.
"Hai, fluffy it is me." She said with a bit of laughter. 'He seems nothing like Inuyasha said. Maybe he is a creep to others. Grrr...Inuyasha did you lie...' "OUCH!" Kara screamed when she felt him poking around her shoulder wound. "Stop it!"
"Kara. There was a lot of poison put in you. Why you haven't passed out is beyond me. Let me at least dress your wound." He turned Kara so her back was to him. He brushed her hair of her right shoulder and moved her fur sleeve so he had access to her shoulder. Using cloth from his own garments he wrapped the wounds and turned her around so she was facing him again.. "Are you able to talk or do you need to sleep?"
Kara looked over at him and smiled. "I will talk. You are after owned an explanation."
Sesshomaru nodded and looked into her eyes. "Why did you leave? Did I do something? Your parents sent you away? What happened."
"Shhs. Sesshomaru I will tell you everything if you just sit back and listen." She sighed as she began her tale. Telling him everything that had happened excluding the dancing part with Inuyasha she finished. "I'm sorry Sesshomaru it was never my intention to leave you." She looked down at the ground in hopes that he would say something.
Sesshomaru was a little shocked at what he had heard. His friend didn't want to leave him. He was pleased with the fact that she began her search for him after jumping through the well. 'Kara it has been so long. Do you still want to honor our promise.' He had noticed the way her eyes had changed when she said his brother's name. 'Is there something behind that? Should I be worried about my brother? Wait she is here with me and not him....' pulling from his thoughts he looked over at Kara.
He took his time examining her. She is very different from the last time he had seen her. Her hair was up in a ponytail so her face was clear and her eyes shown a brighter purple. Her legs were strong and her fur skirt stopped mid thigh. Her tail swashed back and forth. He was amazed at how beautiful she looked. "Kara...." He lifted his clawed hand gently to her chin and pulled her Purple eyes to his amber. "Do you intend to keep you your promise to me?"
Kara sucked in a gasp of air. She was confused as to what she should do. 'I promised Sesshomaru long ago that I would be with him as his mate. I cannot go back on my word. It would crush my honor. But then poor Inuyasha. He would have no one at that point. Argh what am I suppose to do?' Staring at the ground she didn't notice that Sesshomaru was starting to glare daggers at her.
'Nani...Why is she taking so long to answer the question? Is there someone else?' Sesshomaru looked up at her and asked. "Kara....Is their someone else that has taken your heart from me?" He let his gaze fall to the ground as Kara shifted uncomfortably.
Kara was shocked that he could ask that question. 'Nani.....Dammit what the hell am I suppose to do.....Maybe I should take him to see Inuyasha and ask them both how they feel about me. Then I can decide.' She stood up and looked down at the sitting lord. "Sesshomaru please come with me I need to find something out before I tell you the answer about being your mate. As for there being someone else....There is only one other person who made me feel anything from his touch. Please don't be mad Sesshomaru, it's Inuyasha."
"NANI.......WHY INUYASHA? What does he have that I can't give you?" Sesshomaru could not believe his ears. His intended mate was having a problem picking him or his hanyou brother. 'Baka wolf....I can't believe she voiced to me that she has feelings for my brother. How dare she....' Sesshomaru stood up next to her with a look of disgust on his face with crimson creeping into his amber eyes. "Do what you want, I take back my claim that I held upon you. You are free to be with that baka hanyou brother of mine. Don't let me see you in my territories again. I will not be afraid to kill you if I see you again. Goodbye Kara..." He took to the air without a second look back at the crushed wolf he left in the meadow.
"Sesshomaru...." She voiced his name with the pain he had just given her. 'How could he be so mean. Sesshomaru please let me explain. She turned in his direction and raced after him. "SESSHOMARU!" She screamed at him hoping he would hear. After she had ran for miles through the thick forest she came upon a small clearing with a waterfall. There on the shore was Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru..." She said quietly as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Before she could say anything else she was thrusted into a tree with Sesshomaru poisons claws in her throat. "Please listen to me...." She stammered as his hand closed tighter around her neck.
"There is nothing you can say to change my feelings. How dare you betray me with a bastard Hanyou. LEAVE NOW.....or I will kill you Kara." He let go of her and she fell to the ground broken and speechless. "You have until nightfall to get your worthless self out of my land." He let his hand land hard against her cheek with a clenched fist. He felt her bones break with his force. He took one last look at her eyes. He had broken her almost completely. The tears were flowing freely from her eyes. He smirked at her and turned to once again leave her in a painful shock.
Kara sat there for a moment in silent shock. She had a hand on her cheek as well as her neck. 'Sesshomaru how could you do this to me?' She looked down at her shoulder and noticed her Crescent Moon mark was gone. "NOOO" She screamed into the air. Falling to the ground she curled up into a ball below the very tree Sesshomaru had pinned her too. "It wasn't suppose to happen like this....Sesshomaru....how could you..." She muttered her thoughts aloud. She didn't care if anyone was there. She wanted the world to end.'If only he would let me talk to him. I only wanted to be able to tell Inuyasha that I was going to choose his brother. Sesshomaru you are so thick-minded.'
Hours had passed before she felt small amounts of will enter her body. She looked up at the sky. When she had found the girl it was already well into the evening and now the soft ink rays of the morning sun were beginning to show through the darkness. 'I need to get out of these lands.' Looking back at the waterfall one last time. "Gomen, Sesshomaru. It wasn't suppose to be like this. I...I just wouldn't be able to live in peace without knowing how he felt about me. Please learn to forgive me. I beg of you...Find a mate and fill the void in your heart" She whimpered her message to the wind in hopes that Sesshomaru would receive it.
She took off at such a fast pace that the only thing she could see where the different colors of trees and the sky fly past her. It would take all day at this pace to exit the Western Lands. 'He banned me...Sesshomaru...' She could feel her tears rising again. She let them fall as her legs continued to carry her away from her lost love.
She could feel her shoulder wound reopen and she knew her neck and cheek were still bleeding. But she had no care for her wounds she would keep running until her legs would no longer let her.
As the day started to seep into night she was getting a little scared she was still a good ten miles from the border. 'Would he really come after me.' As if he was reading her mind a blur of silver ran up next to her. 'Oh kami....' She kept running if he wanted to stop her he could.
Sesshomaru smirked at the little wolf running next to him. She fears me know. Sesshomaru felt a small pain in his heart and pushed it back. It angered him that this female made his emotions come to life. 'She will die but not yet. She will die infront of my brother.' Sesshomaru could smell the group about a mile ahead of them.
Inuyasha and the others had crawled out of the well the following morning. They decided to walk west in hopes of seeing Kara again. It had taken them all day long to even get a few miles into the Western borders. Inuyasha was tired of the humans slowing him down. He only had one question on his mind. 'Did she choose my brother?' Before he could ponder anymore he smelt the air. His brother was close, as was Kara. But why is Kara's blood in the air.
He growled deeply when he saw a blue blur and then a white blur start to ech their way closer to the group. He was surprised to see the blurs continue to run past the group and was thrown into disbelief as he saw his brother slowed enough to grab Tokijin. What came next he was not prepared for.
Sesshomaru laughed as Kara kept running. She knew she was getting close to Inuyasha. She made it to them but kept running. She didn't even make it past there sight as Sesshomaru pulled out Tokijin and sent a massive energy wave at Kara.
The Inu-group stood shocked as they watched Sesshomaru blast Kara back towards them. They ran up to her to check her wounds. She was bleeding all over and they could easily tell that she had many broken bones. As she fluttered her eyes open she spoke in a whispered but loud enough for Sesshomaru to hear. "Gomen, Sesshomaru. It....wasn't....suppose to....be...this...way...." Her voice started to fail on her as blood began to seep through her mouth. Inuyasha stood up and ran to Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru...How could you do that to her? Why would you do that to your mate!" Inuyasha was angry with his brother. He couldn't believe that he would cause harm to his mate.
"Open you eyes little brother...She is not my mate. Nor will she ever be! Not after her love for me was tainted by you! A mere Hanyou..." Sesshomaru said with no emotion even though he wanted to run and hide for what he had done to the girl he loved. But he couldn't. His mind was racing with thoughts of guilt. He couldn't kill her or his brother. He couldn't let her soul suffer if she died. He made up his mind. 'I will save her with tensagia.'
Sesshomaru walked over to the group huddled around the dying wolf. "Move away from her." He said almost gently. He put Tokijin away and grabbed the hilt of Tensagia. He unsheathed the sword of life and slashed it across Kara's body. "Forgive me, Kara." He said quietly as he stood and looked over at his brother. "After what I have done she will choose you. If you hurt her in anyway I will kill you. Do not make the mistake I just made. Do not let her go Inuyasha." With his words said Sesshomaru formed his cloud and took off high into the sky. "Gomen, Kara." He said one last time.
Inuyasha was shocked that his brother had said those words to him. 'Sesshomaru what did you do to her?' He slowly walked back over to the group and pulled Kara's sleeping body into his lap with her head up against his shoulder while his chin rested on her neck.
Everyone gathered around them as Kagome screamed at Inuyasha.. "What do you mean you are with Kara? When did this happen? How can you love everyone but me!!!!" She was hurt yet again by the Hanyou that she followed. "I'm leaving do not follow me." With that she left the group in search of the one person that had as much hate for the Hanyou as she did.
Inuyasha could feel Kara shift in his arms and he turned her so she could see who's arms she was in. Her eyes fluttered open slightly. As a wave of silver washed into her vision she started to panic but slowly suppressed it as she saw two dog ears and red. 'Inuyasha...' She met her eyes with his and screamed his name and held onto him. "Inuyasha!!!!" She let her tears out as the hanyou held her to try to sooth her pain.
