I refuse to say it again. we all know the truth :-(( " Waaaaa"
Ch 11
" Hiji sama......Hiji sama..?" Miyouga bounced about the forest looking for his old friend. He reached a large hallow old tree. " Hiji sama are you home?" Miyouga jumped back when a large badger demon who looked to have been around for a millienum emerged from the tree.
" Miyouga jiji ....what brings you here" his grey patchy muzzle widened into a smile. " Who are you calling an old man.....you've been around near a half millienum prior to me" Miyouga jumped up an down steam coming from his ears.
" Calm yourself my old friend, and tell me how I can help you.....besides you know I am only kidding you"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miyouga and the large badger sat around a small kettle nestled above a fire in the center of Hiji's home.
" Ha,.....so the old dog got himself bitten by a vixen eh?" Hiji laughed hearty and full.
" This isn't funny Hiji she is slowly draining him of his soul.........he will die if this goes on much longer" Miyouga had thrown his saki cup into the fire in defeat. " Alright....alright.....I might have something that will help the old dog" Hiji held his hands up in front of him trying to calm the old flea.
Hiji rumaged through an old trunk before he pulled out two small Medallions. They were a symbol of the sun embraced in twisted silver vines.
He handed the two medallions to Miyouga, " give this to Sesshomaru and be sure that the girl wares the other one, but......I must warn you their magic is weak......they will only work if the two are within a stone's throw of the other"
Miyouga slug the two medallions over his back, " I thank you Hiji sama" he bowed and was about to leave when. " Hiji Sama?....what do these medallions do?"
Hiji laughed taking another swig of Saki winking at the flea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" What ......where am I....?" Kagome's eyes opened slowly as moon light poured in on her. She tried to move, but found she couldn't. She looked down to see what could be holding her captive, she paled in horror to find a stripped wrist drapped lazily over her stomach. - oh no!- she turned her head slightly to find a very unconscious Sesshomaru laying behind her. sigh - well weirder things have happened.....I better get him out of here he will be furious if he woke to find he fell asleep next to me.
She stood and the kimono fell to the floor. She paled even further to find she had not been waring anything.
- YOU........YOU...YOU HENTAI...- she huffed in embarrassment and fustration - I am so going to kill you-
She turn to face him, he look rather content laying there. A soft smile played his lips. - he really should smile more often-
"Aagh !" she shook the thought from her head as she looked for something to ware. She picked up the new Kimono, seen as how the other one was bloody and torn, and did her best to put it on over her wings.- damn these things-
She turned back around to Sesshomaru - ok big fella it's your turn- She walked over to pick him up to bring him back to the castle. When she noticed the large red stain on his hifuku. - oh no....not again- She rushed him inside thanking kami for the darkness. She snuck back into the castle under the cover of night. - where do I bring him.....I haven't a clue where his bedchambers are- The room that she had been in when Rin brought Sesshomaru flower would have to do.
She carried him down the halls, having the misfortune to run into Jakkan on her way. " WOMAN! what have you done to Lord Sesshomaru?"
" Shut up you stupid toad.......he's hurt I need to tend to his injuries" Jakkan gawked at her before clearing his head and leading her to the demon lord's bedchambers.
" There you go" Kagome laid him down on his overstuffed futon covering him with a warm blanket. Jakkan stood in the door way wringing his hands " Don't just stand there you idiot ......go get bandages" Kagome commanded. She watched the toad run out the room in a panic before turning her attention back to the demon lord. - he's sweating........- Kagome rested her hand on his forehead - he's burning up- She ran from the room to get a bowl of cold water and a few clean wash clothes.
Where are you going wippy wolf?" Inuyasha looked down from his post to see Kouga walking toward the building holding Kagome and Sesshomaru. " I'm going to check on Kagome....not that it is any of your business" Kouga turned his back to him arms folded across his chest and continued walking. " Feh" Inuyasha just shot his nose into the air turning from Kouga. - stupid wolf-
" Hey dog turd.....Kagome is gone!" Kouga stood at the opening he left in the side of the building. " What...what do you mean she's gone" Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and ran to the scene.
" Look for yourself " Kouga pointed to where Kagome had been earlier. " They haven't gotten far I don't smell anyone else's scent"
- where could have Sesshomaru taken Kagome-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Kagome!........" Kagome" Inuyasha and Kouga walked through the castle calling her name. " What are you two doing in here.....how dare you barge in here like this" Inuyasha and Kouga looked down to find a very angry Jakkan.
Jakkan's face contorted into horror as he watched Kouga's lips snarl into a vicious sneer. Grabbing Jakkan by the robes he shook him.
" Look toad we're looking for Kagome,.....if you know where she is you'd better start talking". Inuyasha continued down the hall trying to find their scent. Jakkan struggled in Kouga's grasp," You can't go in there.......that is Lord Sesshomaru's private chambers....Hey.......Hey!" Inuyasha ignored Jakkans constant ranting and slid the door open.
Shock played across his face to what he saw. Kagome was leaning over a sleeping Sesshomaru tenderly wiping his forehead before draining the cloth and placing it back down on his forehead.
" Kagome?" He backed away from the scene.....this couldn't be happening to him....-why-
" Inuyasha!" Kagome looked up into betrayed amber eyes. " I didn't choose for this to happen Inuyasha,........but now I have no choice...I have to stay by his side" She looked away from the pain in his eyes and concentrated on Sesshomaru.
"NO! you can't ......he doesn't care about you" He want to run to her shake her just to get her to understand that this was maddness.
" You don't understand....you jerk this cursed jewel embedded in my chest holds most of his soul if something were to happen to me he'll die"
Betrayal, pain....terror...fled across his face - she cares about him,.....why does she care about him- He's usual demeanor slipped back into place and he turned his back on her nose in the air....." So what if he dies".
Heat rose in her cheeks, she pushed her self off the floor and stared at Inuyasha's back " YOU JERK..........SIT!" Inuyasha crashed to the ground. He tried to push himself up, but the spell held him fast. " What is the matter with you Kagome.....you don't owe him anything"
Tears formed in her eyes as she yelled at him in pure frustration and hurt. " His blood keeps me from being that monster you fought earlier.....I'm a parasite Inuyasha......and Sesshomaru has kept me sane....I ...I can't turn my back on him now" her voice dropped as she said the last of it.
Inuyasha pushed himself off the ground and walked over to Kagome who had turned her back to him. He grabbed her by the arm spinning her around to face him. He dug his claws into her arms he was holding her so tight. " I wanted to be the one to save you......you don't have to rely on Sesshomaru.......I want to be there for you" his eyes pleaded with her to execpt him. Kagome looked away from him tears still streaming down her face. " you don't understand......I could kill you too....don't you get it..... Naraku set this curse on me so that I would kill you both.....I don't want to hurt you too..........Please leave......go back to the village Inuyasha.....get away from me" she whispered it all out so low that it took all of his demonic power to hear her.
" No I will not leave you Kagome" he shook her slightly drawing her in to a tight embrace. At first she was surprised by his act of affection, but an image passed through her mind. Inuyasha and Kikyou under that tree....he promised her he would stay and protect her She didn't feel this was much different. Anger flashed through her eyes and she shoved him off, " I am NOT Kikyou...... Inuyasha.......Leave NOW!"
" Kagome?" hurt laced his voice as he ran from the room.
----------------------------------------------------
" Hey dog turd where are you going..........there is someone here to see you" Kouga tried to grab Inuyasha as he brushed past him.
He jerked his arm free of him and continued walking " I don't care.........and it is none of you business where I go" Kouga watched Inuyasha walk into the darkness of the hall and disappear. " We do not have time to talk to him now ......this is more important" Miyouga bounced on Kouga's shoulder, " hurry let's get inside"
Kouga knocked gently he looked about but didn't see Kagome anywhere. He brought Miyouga into the room who was still carrying his special package. " Lord Sesshomaru.......Lord Sesshomaru......oh no....I'm too late..." Miyouga buried his face into his hands smearing tears as he wept.
" too late for what" Kouga and Miyouga turned to see Kagome carrying a bowl of fresh cool water. " Lord Sesshomaru is dead....OH Master how have I failed you" Miyouga continued to cry. Kagome came over to kneel beside Sesshomaru's body. She reached out and felt that his fever had not broken. " He is alive Miyouga.....but I am afraid that he is weak" she looked down at him apologizing silently.
Kagome dangled the medallions in front of her. " you mean these things will combine our souls"
" Yes, ...but their magic is weak....they will only work if the two of you stay close" Miyouga was ready to place the medallion over his masters neck when he was lifted into the air. " Wait are you saying that My Kagome will be bound to this mass murder.......I don't think so" Kouga dangled Miyouga in front of his face.
" Kouga kun.....it's ok....it is only a temperary bond after all......right Miyouga ji san" She looked up at Miyouga and then back down to the medallion in her hand, before decideding to put it over her head and around her neck.
"Now Miyouga will these medallions also transfer to Sesshomaru the soul the jewel stole?" Miyouga hopped back over to Kagome after Kouga dropped him. " No, I'm afraid not, these medallions will only transfer the warers soul and that is if it is available......and I believe Sesshomaru's soul is trapped in the jewel" Miyouga rubbed his chin in thought. " Oh well.....I don't mind sharing my soul with him if it will save his life,.....but I don't think he is going to like the idea." Kagome sweat dropped as she looked down at the sleeping demon lord. " Than you should put it on him now while he is alseep" Kouga suggested. " yes, yes that will work the only way to get the medallion off after it is put on is to have the other waerer take it off" Miyouga was ready to clasp the necklace around Sesshomaru's neck when he was stopped once again. " No,.....I think we should wait for him to wake......then we'll ask him......he can make up his own mind about this" Miyouga and Kouga looked at Kagome, pure confusion laced in their eyes.
" Look, I was forced into this bondage with Naraku and Now Sesshomaru too......I don't want to force anyone to be bonded to me if they don't want to....... I mean not that he was sort of forcibly bound to me... thanks to me but........ with this he couldn't even get away from me if he wanted too" Kagome turned almost purple with the embarrassing memories that played through her mind.
" Ok so then we wait" Kouga sat cross leg on the floor of Sesshomaru's bedchambers. " Wait Kouga what are you doing?......you don't have to stay here" Kagome looked over at Kouga in surprise. " I will stay here to protect you Kagome if Naraku is the one sending all these evil spirits at you then I want to be here to kick their butt" Kagome smiled a true warm smile " thank you Kouga kun".

" Hiji sama......Hiji sama..?" Miyouga bounced about the forest looking for his old friend. He reached a large hallow old tree. " Hiji sama are you home?" Miyouga jumped back when a large badger demon who looked to have been around for a millienum emerged from the tree.
