Chapter 7
When Kagome, Inuyasha and the rest of the group reach the village and all gathered in Kaede hut. After everyone was sitting down Kagome began to tell them what happened but was distracted when she sensed some presence near the village. Expanding her aura further out she recognized one as Sesshoumaru and his companions ,but the other gave her chills. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome she was just getting ready to tell them what she meant about demon in her time when she suddenly tensed up and her eyes glazed over the rest of the group also watched her. "Kagome." Inuyasha asked slightly nudging her shoulder at first she seemed to be ignoring him, but when he nudged her again she stood up and said, "We have company coming this way. One is your brother, Sesshomaru, and his companions but the other is Naraku."
Everyone gave Kagome a strange look and Sango asked "Kagome, how do you know if they are near? Inuyasha and Shippo would have sensed them." She questioned.
"I don't know, but I am getting that question asked a lot." Kagome replied grabbing her bows which got here another questionable look from the others.
Kagome sighed and said, "I will explain later, but we must hurry I have a bad feeling Naraku is up to something so lets go. They're about a couple miles west from here."
The rest of the group nodded and they all headed out Kagome traveled on Inuyasha's back as the rest rode Kirara as they got closer Inuyasha picked up his brother scent but still did not find a trace of Naraku anywhere nearby as Kagome had argued, was defiantly nearby.
The group landed a few feet away from Inuyasha's brother and companions. Although the brother had agreed upon a truce till the defeat of Naraku they were still weary of each others presence.
"Brother what honor do I owe for this visit." Sesshoumaru asked as Jakken fumed in the back mumbling about dirty Hanyou and his filthy human companions.
"Actually it was I who suggested the visit Sess." Kagome said still feeling Naraku's presence nearby, even though Inuyasha said he felt nothing.
Sesshoumaru growled a little about her nickname she used for him but was slightly thankful she hadn't said the other one she called him by. Fluffy indeed he thought with irritation at one of her nicknames for him."
Turning to Kagome he softened his look when he glazed upon her. "It is good to see you. Rin has missed you."
Sesshoumaru had looked down at his ward Rin who had already latched on to Kagome's leg."
"Rin missed Kagome sis and brother Shippo." Rin said cheerfully.
Kagome smiled down at the child and said. "I have missed you as well. Rin."
Rin let go and ran over to Shippo who had been perched on Miroku shoulders and ask "Does Shippo want to play with Rin?" Shippo nodded and jumped down to play. Kagome, who had kept her attention on Sesshoumaru failed to notice the kids run further up a head of the group, when she got this flash of a vision of Naraku hurting the kids. The vision flashed before her eyes so quickly she almost thought she was imaging it but took of anyway to intercept the kids while the rest of the group stood trying to figure out what happened with her. Kagome jumped in front of the kids as a root protruding from the ground shot out to hit Rin in the chest and another to hurt Shippo both catching Kagome instead of the children as there targets. One piercing through Kagome's right side and the other through her left. The pain was blinding Kagome and she would have fell to her knees if the roots where not still pierced through her side holding her up. When she heard her friends cry out and start running for her she looked up to see one of Naraku puppets leaning over her. Ready to pierce her through the heart but was quickly intercepted by Sesshomaru's blade as it swung down to hit her.
Kagome fought back the intense pain to keep awake she did not want to pass out till the fight was over afraid to lose her companions and friends.
Kagome felt strong arms grab her from after Sesshomaru swords cut the vines that pinned her thinking it was another of Naraku puppets vines she began to struggle with what little strength she had left when familiar warm voice talked top her. "Shush, it ok Kagome it's me, Inuyasha, I've got you."
Kagome instantly stopped her struggle and let him pull her into his arms.
Still fighting to stay awake she felt Inuyasha lay her on the ground and call out to Sango .Kagome's vision swam and all she could see was blurry shapes in front of her and hear the cries of the children calling to her.
Inuyasha was in a panic, when he saw Kagome being pierced by Naraku's puppet, she had detected him when himself and the others failed to. She had even known where he was going to strike. Shook up by the smell of blood radiating from her he quickly ran to grab her as his brother cut the vines holding her. He felt her struggle to get away so he softly said that it was he that had her, which calmed her down instantly. Quickly leaping a safe distance from the battle he laid her down upon the ground and called to Sango to help her, so he could help get rid of Naraku's puppet. Leaping back into the battle to help they destroyed Naraku's puppet gaining them another jewel shard but it didn't matter they had to get help for Kagome she was fading away fast. Turning swiftly back after instructing Miroku to grab the jewel shard Inuyasha turned to grab Kagome but saw her in his brother's arms fighting back a growl from jealousy he nodded his head to his brother knowing he only wanted to help her for saving Rin and followed him to the village while the others raced behind to catch up.
When Sesshoumaru got to the village he followed Inuyasha to Kaede and entered the hut to set her down upon a mat for Kaede to help her.
"Inuyasha what has happened to Kagome?" Kaede questioned as she grabbed a wet cloth to clean the blood from her.
"Naraku attacked the children and she intercepted it." He quickly answered as him and Sesshoumaru stood by watching her help Kagome. Inuyasha glanced at his brother and saw an emotion he never thought he would see in his brothers eyes. He was worried about Kagome. Jealousy pegged him from inside but he pushed it down to concentrate on Kagome.
"Kaede is Kagome going to be alright." Inuyasha asked politely for the first time ever.
Kaede was quite shocked but quickly brushed it to the side of her mind to concentrate on helping Kagome. She had always known that the rude Hanyou had feelings for this sweet girl, but was to afraid and shy to say something but looking at him left her with no doubt that he had fallen for this sweet and unique girl. As Kaede frantically worked to stop the bleeding the two demon brothers stood by and watched. The damage done by Naraku was to life threatening. All Kaede could do was make Kagome as comfortable as she could and pray she would survive.
"Well is she going to be ok are not?" Inuyasha harshly demanded.
Kaede looked up at Inuyasha sadly and replied. "Nay their is nothing I can do for her but make her comfortable. Thee child has sustained to much injure for her body." Kaede finished.
"No, I don't believe it Kaede you have to help her." Inuyasha yelled on the verge of tears.
"I can't Inuyasha there is nothing left to be done even if I could heal her wounds she has lost to much blood." Kaede tried to explain.
"Then I will give it to her." Inuyasha said.
"Nay if you did, it still wouldn't matter she is human and you are only part human the mix could weaken her even more and a human couldn't give her enough blood. It just wouldn't work."
As Kaede tried to explain Sesshoumaru decided to say something. " I will heal with the tessiga and Inuyasha and I can perform a blood bond with her."
Inuyasha turned to his brother and growled. "Why in the hell did you not say something sooner."
Sesshoumaru ignored his question and pulled his healing sword from his waist. Ignoring everything around him he consternated on the little green soul gathers. Pulling his sword back he swiped it across the soul collectors preventing them from taking the young girl's soul.
A flash of energy wrapped around her pale fragile body healing her open wounds. As the energy light dimmed and faded completely the only change in Kagome was the wounds where no longer there as if they never existed, but both demons brothers knew their was more left to be done to insure the young girls survival.
Kaede looked at the healing swords power and was quite amazed, but she knew even with the wounds healed and the blood flow had stopped. Kagome had lost to much blood for a human and would need more in order to survive.
Sesshoumaru slide his sword back into its sheath and knelt beside Kagome. Glancing at Inuyasha he nodes his head letting Inuyasha know it was time to preform the ritual. Both brothers picked up each of the girl wrist. Gentlely squeezing them they helped what little blood flowing through her body gather to her wrist. Together they took their claws and slit both of her wrist and then slit one of there own. Tearing a strip of cloth from their clothes they wrapped it around her wrist binding there own in the process. Sesshoumaru spoke strange words causing another flash to blind them for a second. As there demon blood flowed into Kagome both brothers laid down next to the girl and curled against her body and peacefully slipped into sleep as Kaede was left watching curiously over them.
When Kagome, Inuyasha and the rest of the group reach the village and all gathered in Kaede hut. After everyone was sitting down Kagome began to tell them what happened but was distracted when she sensed some presence near the village.
