Ch. 13: Blood bonds
(Inu-Yasha)
He was beyond confused. Why had Kagome not listened to him? Why was she trying to save Sesshomaru? Worse yet, why was she defending him? What in the seven hells had possesed his half brother? Why did Sesshoumaru care what happened to Kagome? All of his many questions went unanswered as he watched his half brother with a cautious eye.
Still keeping an eye on Sesshoumaru he turned to Kagome and said, "You need to go home, Kagome. This battle is over so you don't have to be here anyore."
The miko nodded then began slowly walking to the well.
She was about to jump in when a growling voice said, "Don't you dare!"
(Kagome)
Kagome twirled around on her heel towards the voice. Sesshoumaru's stotic amber eyes met her dark blue eyes. He had been the one speaking. Apparantly he head looked up from checking his wound when he heard that she intended to leave. His features were drawn from long hours fighting and traveling. Despite his stotic expression and seeming streagth Kagome could tell he was tired. His composure was strained and fragile at best, but t least he still had it. When Kagome tried to jump in the well again Sesshoumaru growled at her and took a step forward.
(Sesshoumaru)
He had to keep her here. If she went through that well there would be no telling when or if she'd ever return. He wasn't sure he could handle that. She was too deeply integrated into his life for him to easily let her go. He had to force himself to stay put when she tried for the well again. This was absolute torcher for him.
The exchange of blood was a very serious matter amonst demons, particularly dog demons. Though the exchange had been accidental it was still a strong binding force. Too far would inflict serious pain, but too close risked Inu-Yasha's wrath. Her location by the well was already causing him considerable discomfort. Her being unaware of this fact just made everything worse. This was going to get complicated very quickly.
(Kagome)
Things were starting to get wierd. She had stopped the fight but now a different kind of fight was starting. Every time she tried to jump into the well Sesshoumaru would growl at her or take a step forward. Inu-Yasha was going to get violent soon if Sesshoumaru got any closer. She could feel the cold stone of the well on her back. She knew she was only making everything worse by being here.
Making up her mind Kagome swung her legs over the lip of the well and prepared to jump. She was about to push off into the well when she heard a sharp intake of breath followed by a loud thump sound coming from behind her. She whirled around in time to prevent Inu-Yasha from kicking the downed lord in the stomach.
"Inu-Yasha, don't even think about it!"
The hanyou looked over at her and said, "Huh? Damnit Kagome, stop defending him! He's not worth it!"
"SIT!"
THUMP!
"Ack! Whadya do that for?!"
Kagome's eyes were filled with anger as she said, "You said the fighting was over! And stop questioning my motives for helping him!"
She then made her way over to the fallen lord, knelt down beside him, and said, "Are you okay?"
Before her words had even died in the air Sesshoumaru grabbed her, pulld her into his lap, and started running his hnds up and down her arms. Kagome could feel him shaking.
His voice was harsh as he said, "Don't you ever do that to me again."
Kagome was now more confused than ever what had caused this reaction in the youkai? She would soon find out.
(Sesshoumaru)
He had almost lost her. She just about went into the well. In his weakened state he couldn't have physiclly stopped her. In fact his loss of blood had contributed to his collapse and her continued presence. It had taken most of his remaining streangth to grab her as he had only moments ago. The only reason she hdn't moved awway yet was because of what he ahd said to her.
He could hear his brother growling at him. Inu-Yasha had claim to the girl as well. If the hanyou attacked him now he was as good as dead. He had no streangth left to fight and Inu-Yasha had Tetsugia and Tensagia. Without the healing sword to protect him now, he would survive another battle with the hanyou. Kagome was his only chance now.
Completly disregarding his pride he looked down into the miko's eyes and said, "I need your help. As much as I hate to admit it, I can no longer defend myself."
Another layer of the ice wall around his heart melted as she flashed a brilliant smile at him and started lightly rubbing his tense shoulders. He let his arms drop from around her and sighed. Her nearness eased some of the strrain the distance between them had caused only moments ago, but he was still feeling the effects.
As soon as he had cut her loose Kgome looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Sesshoumaru. I won't let Inu-Yasha hurt you."
Then she stood and turned to address the hanyou. He could do nothing for her now save watch and hope she'd be okay. His life depended on her sucsess.
Thats it for this chapter.
I can't wait for your votes/comments.
Till next chapter.
