"I will not move undead miko. You cannot make this, Sesshoumaru move."
"Sesshoumaru!!" Came Inuyasha's infuriated yell. The half-breed bursting through the same area of brush that the dead priestess had.
"Kagome!" Yelled little Shippo, who was desperately clinging to Inuyasha's shoulder.
Inuyasha had other plans for Shippo though, picking him off his shoulder, he threw him at Miroku, who thankfully caught him. None but Sesshoumaru noticed the girl behind him was starting to regain consciousness.
"Huh... what?" She murmured softly, as Sesshoumaru listened to the sweet voice only he could hear over the entire ruckus Inuyasha was making.
Stormy grey hues fluttered open, and Kagome slowly sat up, holding her head. Another groan, as she looked around, still holding her head almost like it hurt her. Seeing Inuyasha and Kikyou her eyes widened and she suppressed a growl, which surprised her. Because well, humans don't growl!
Kikyou was soon forgotten as Inuyasha watched Kagome sit up and look around. He glared at his hated half-brother, and unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. He rushed forward to Sesshoumaru, blindly swinging, mostly swinging in a rage. Sesshoumaru on the other hand, unsheathed the Tokijin and proceeded to block all of Inuyasha's pathetic attempts at attacking him cleanly.
"Inuyasha! Si-" Kagome began, but her voice was cut off by a sharp intake of breath, and a weak cry. A gurgling cough and everyone looked on in horror. Jaken, Rin, and Ah-Un arriving at this moment, and staring at the scene with surprised frightened eyes.
"Lady Kagome!" (Miroku)
"Kagome!" (Sango)
"Mama!" (Shippo)
"Onee-san!" (Rin)
All the yells coming from Inuyasha and Kagomes companions, as well as one from Rin, the ward of Sesshoumaru's. They all heard the sickening sound of a body impacting upon the ground.
Sesshoumaru was the first to turn, catching sight of Kagome laying motionless on the ground, then Inuyasha turned, he caught sight of Kikyou lowering her bow. Kagome lay on her side, her eyes closed, and arrow protruding from her chest. Laying in a pool of her own blood, a small pool that was slowly growing larger.
Inuyasha couldn't move. Kikyou killed Kagome. With a heart wrenching yell, her dropped the Tetsusaiga and rushed for Kikyou, who looked so surprised. Calling her Soul Stealers to take her away seconds before Inuyasha had a chance to reach her.
"That girl truly does mean more to you then I do... you'd kill me... because of her, Inuyasha?" Kikyou said, her dead voice radiating something like sadness.
Inuyasha watched Kikyou fly away on her Soul Stealers, pure rage filling him. How could she, something dead, rip a happy thriving living soul from this world so coldly? She was dark and tainted, and had been in life as well, he was just to blind to see it. He turned away from the direction Kikyou had gone, and looked instead to Kagome.
Sesshoumaru had removed the arrow, growling at anyone who came to close. Even Rin. He had also long since sheathed the Tokijin and unsheathed the Tensaiga. He lifted the blade, and slashed it across Kagome's chest. Inuyasha opened his mouth to spew curses at him for harming one of the dead further. When, he heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Kagome gasped, and coughed.
Sesshoumaru sheathed the Tensaiga, and knelt down beside Kagome, lifting her carefully into his arms. He looked down at the girl, and surprised her with the barest hint of a smile. 'You, Kagome, are no ones reincarnation...' he thought looking into her blue hues that were full of recognition and remembrance. She slumped against his chest, and sighed closing her eyes and slipping back into blissful unconsciousness.
"Put. Her. Down," Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth.
"No, I shall not. Obviously you cannot protect her from the undead bitch. So I shall," with that said, Sesshoumaru turned. He walked to where Jaken was staring speechless, and Rin was asking what happened to Onee-san why the man with cute ears let the evil lady hurt her, and Ah-Un was trying to nuzzle at Kagome. Sesshoumaru's growl silenced Rin, stopped Ah-Un's antics and caused Jaken to squawk.
Sesshoumaru, Ah-Un, Rin, and Jaken left the Inu-taichi standing there, watching them leave...
Speechless.
The ground was really really soft, almost kind of fluffy. 'Wait a minute... fluffy?' Slowly Kagome began to awaken. He eyes twitched in her restlessness, and slowly the blue orbs opened. Still half asleep as she was, he watched over her. But only because she had a death grip on his shirt, which also explained why he had his mane wrapped around her to keep her warm, right?
Blinking her eyes some, the dark lashes kissing her cheeks Kagome looked up meeting the striking orbs of gold. Inuyasha was holding her that thought made her smile. The fuzziness in her head, and her vision slowly started to clear. She started to take in the markings she could see on Inuyasha's face also.
'Wait a second... Inuyasha doesn't have-'
"Sesshoumaru!" She yelped in surprise, and let go of his shirt like it burned. Scrambling back and away from him, until her back hit a wall.
Sesshoumaru felt a great pain in his chest, when he again caught the scent of her fear. He looked closely at her face, for the look of recognition he had seen there before, only to find it gone. It pained him, to the point of physical pain to know she had forgotten.
"If you think you're going to get the Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha, just because you kidnapped me you got another thing coming! He doesn't need me anymore, he has... her," her face showed hurt, but her voice was bitter. Full of anger, and pain. Sesshoumaru heard the pain in her voice the thought of Inuyasha gave her.
"So... you think this, Sesshoumaru would stoup low enough to steal for the Tetsusaiga?" He asked, watching the untrained preistess' reaction.
Kagome thought about it a moment, and then deciding that she was safe for the time, she relaxed. Sesshoumaru nearly smiled when he noted the scent of her fear lessening.
"So what are you going to do with me then you egotistical jerk?!" Kagome yelled. She was starting to get angry, now that she thought about her situation a little more.
First, he invades her dreams, and now! Now, he has to kidnap her from her friends!
"This Sesshoumaru owes you no explanation human. Though I suppose I shall give you one. The half-breed couldn't protect you from the woman of death, dirt, and bones, so I shall. Now, wench stop your babbling and follow Jaken. He will show you to the room you will be staying in during the duration of your stay in my home," he waved a clawed hand dismissing her.
Kagome then realized they were in a castle of some sort, though at the moment she was in the study with Sesshoumaru, and Jaken was behind her. She could hear him moving around, she blinked noticing what he called her. Her anger soared.
"Wench..." she said softly, her voice full of anger. "My name is Kagome! Kah-Goh-Meh! Not wench, bitch, miko, or girl! Get that through your thick skull Fluffy Boy! Do I have to get a nametag so you'll remember it or something!? And do you always have to say 'This Sesshoumaru'?! It gets really annoying you know!"
By the time she finished her rant, she was panting and her rational mind was slowly seeping back. Suddenly a thread of terror ran threw her as she watched the motionless Sesshoumaru. 'Oops... might not have been the best idea yelling at him like that. Stupid, stupid, stupid Kagome!'
'Fluffy boy...?' Sesshoumaru was blinking, in a rather comical way as he couldn't get past the fact she called him 'Fluffy Boy'. He even had momentarily forgotten she was yelling at him.
"Come, Lady Kagome, this unworthy Jaken will show you to your rooms. While Milord surveys his land for that flea-bitten Inuyasha," Jaken looked up at the now surprised and speechless Kagome.
Nodding mutely, Kagome followed Jaken like an obedient child, to surprised to do much else.
