Something There
Chapter 2:Her Protector
Sesshomaru took the mirror off of the desk and looked into it. The sliver frame was genuine and the glass held the image of the Inu-Yourkai. He went to his balcony and looked into the night. He could not catch her scent.
"Show me Kagome."The mirror began to glow and held the image of a very frightened Kagome. Wolves surrounded her from all sides and she was in danger. Sesshomaru placed the mirror face down on the table and looked into the forest. . . . .
Meanwhile. . . . .
Kagome searched the ground for a stick or something to use as a weapon. Her fingers enclosed over a small tree branch. She swung madly at the wolves but one caught the stick in it's mouth and bit it in half. Another wolf began pulling her dress causing Kagome to loose her balance. They snarled in hunger and anticipation as they eyes her mouths drooling. One lunged at her and Kagome shielded herself for the blow, but it never came. She looked up and saw a figure standing between her and the wolves. Soon the fight broke out.
Two of the wolves lunged an Sesshomaru knocked them away. They both hit nearby trees and fell to the ground whimpering. Sesshomaru drew the fight away from Kagome out into the open. Wolves jumped on his back and Sesshomaru knocked it away, while another pounced on his arm causing the flesh to rip. Sesshomaru's eyes grew red with fury as he kicked the wolf hard into the tree. He whimpered and ran off followed by the rest of the pack. Kagome stood up in horror and they looked at each other. Kagome, tears in her eyes, ran to his side as he fell to the ground. His kimono had been torn and a wounded arm lay exposed. She kneeled down beside him. His eyes turned from red to amber. He struggled to get up until Kagome intervened.
"Stay still!"She urged as he struggled to his feet. He got to his feet Kagome following tears flowing down her cheeks. "Why did you do that! You could have gotten yourself killed! What were you thinking!"He smiled one of his rare smiles as she braced him, placing one hand on his back and one on his chest.
"Your still mine. Your are my servant and I would like to keep my things."he said simply. She didn't say a word as the struggled through the trees in order to get back home.
Kagome dipped a cloth in some warm water in a bowl and rung it out until in was still wet but not dripping. She walked over to where her lord was sitting trying to tend to his wounds. She kneeled down beside him and he eyed her suspiciously.
"I'm really sorry about this. It's my fault your hurt." She reached a hand out for his arm but he pulled away.
"Stay away! Leave me be."he said licking a cut on his arm. Blood trickled down his arm and seeped into his kimono, staining it red. She touched the rag to his arm and he yelled in pain, quickly grabbing Kagome's small wrist. She gasped as his grip tightened.
"That hurts!"he yelled at her. She nodded guilt filling her eyes.
"If you don't hold still It will make it worse."He looked away clearly defeated, letting go of her frail wrist. She looked up his arm to more serious injuries. She took the sleeve of his Kimono and ripped it off. He didn't say a word or did he look at her. She removed the sleeve and saw a red patch on his arm were flesh used to be. It was bleeding heavily and Kagome balled up the sleeve she had torn off and pressed it to the wound. "Thank you for saving me, my lord."He looked at her and smiled.
"Your welcome."
