Inu-Yasha has pulled ahead, but since Sesshoumaru was in the lead for so long this chapter is completly devoted to portraying his POV. I don't want any votes for this chapter just comments please. The voting will resume in chapter 13. Thank you and Enjoy. Oh and sorry for the long delay.
Ch. 12: Reactions
(Sesshoumaru)
The youkai lord was horrified by his half brother's words.
Reigning in on his turmulent emotions he thought, 'Ka-go-me? Inu-Yasha's wench?! There's no way! Certainly I would have reconized her if she were....But then, I never really paid attention to her before in my past encounters with my brother. She can't be my brother's wench, she just can't. Please don't let this be true. If she is then I am doomed, for I'm not sure I can part with her after everything that has happened.'
His eyes focused on the female as she said, "No I won't, Inu-Yasha! I won't move! This stupid fued you two have been fighting must stop! You already beat him! Isn't that enough to end this? Must there be more bloodshed between you? I won't just stand by while you kill him because of some stupid vendetta!"
Sesshoumaru could hear his brother's growled warning of, "You don't understand anything, Kagome. This isn't mearly a battle for the sword anymore. This is personal."
"Personal? Personal! Inu-Yasha there is nothing personal about you two fighting over me!"
Sesshoumaru could feel his blood run cold. His worst fear had come true. The young woman that had saved his life and that cared so much about the people that she called friend, was his enemy. The knowledge that he'd tried more than once to kill her caused a wave of dread to wash over him. He had actually tried to kill the gentle little female. She knew the whole time how this would end, yet she let it continue.
His mind was reeling. 'Why would Inu-Yasha harm his own wench?! It doesn't make any sense! She ran from him, she ran1 Yet there is still such strong ties between them.'
The youkai lord could still smell her blood. If her defiance of the hanyou continued, she would pass out from blood loss before he could help her. His enemy or not, he wouldn't let her die.
Letting out a sharp, bark-like noise to stop Inu-Yasha he said, "You ignorant hanyou! For once in your misbegotten life use your head! I care not if you continue to fight me, but our female companion must be tended to first! Her life is more important to me ahan my own."
That did the trick. Inu-Yasha stopped his attack. Setting his nose to the wind he caught theblood scent and looked at Kagome with concern. It was the first time he'd taken time to notice. The fact that his hanyou brother could be so neglectant of his wench made Sesshoumaru very mad.
Inu-Yasha said, "You're right, Sesshoumaru, but I smell more of your blood than hers."
The youkai lord's eyes widened as he looked down to the hnd that was still putting pressure to the wound on his chest. Moving his hand from hers Sesshoumaru allowed his eyes to trail down the length of the hand he had been holding. He looked from her hand to her elbow then let out a soft gasp as he saw the dried blood there. In her haste to stop his blood loss Kagome had used her injured hand. He could hear Inu-Yasha growling as he grabed her hand with both of his and turned it palm up for examination. A softly spoken curse left his lips as he saw the pale white scar on her palm where the gash had been. releasingher hand he then gently turned her around and nudged her towards Inu-Yasha. When she was safely in the hanyou's care he chanced a look at his chest wound.
If Inu-Yasha had struck only inches deeper he would've struck Sesshoumaru's heart and killed the lord instantly. An audiable gasp was heard from the full youkai as realization sunk in. His wound was healed over as well. They had healed each other. They each now had the other person's blood running in their veins. They had exchanged blood, though accidently. This would put an interesting turn on an already tense situation.
Well thats it for this chapter. Sorry again for taking so long.
