Something There

Chapter 9: Kidnaped

Kagome snuggled her face against the pillow wanting to go back into sleep. Back with Her Sesshomaru. She shuddered when she felt the air in the room grow drastically cold. Her teeth chattered and she pulled the blanket tighter around her shoulders. She felt something as cold as ice brush her cheek and automatically she slowly opened her eyes. A figure sat beside her on the bed. The figure was hazy and then her dream came rushing back to her. She had been kidnaped and she laid in a strange bed, in a strange place, next to a strange figure. Kagome tensed. She was scared. She was alone with a strange man. Her vision cleared and she saw the man. He had long raven hair and frightening eyes.

"So your awake." He went to touch her face but she knocked his hand away. "Feisty little Miko aren't you?"

"What do you want with me, Naraku?"He looked a little surprised that she knew his name so quickly. A grin spread across his dry parched lips revealing white teeth.

"So you know who I am?"he said in a mocking tone.

"I'm not stupid, ya know!"Kagome through the blanket off of her body and quickly slipped off the bed and ran for the door. She collapsed as soon as she stood. She had been sleeping in such a way that her legs had fallen asleep.

"I wouldn't say that."In one swift movement he had her pinned to the floor his body resting on top of hers. "Your gonna help me in my little plan."He whispered into her ear. His breath smelled of death and mayhem. He dug his nails into her wrists causing her to cry out as a result.

"I'm not gonna help you do anything!" He dug his nails deeper into her flesh making her bite her tongue to keep from screaming. That's what he wanted. Before Kagome could even think everything went dark.

Sesshomaru felt Kagome loose consciousness but like always his face held no emotion but his eyes were a different story. Those amber orbs held emotion that no one could name, not even the owner. InuYasha looked over at his brother as they floated on the gentle pink cloud his older brother had generated. He had never seen his brother so upset. He could sense his fear and hope in his brother's aura. InuYasha looked towards the sky as they passed by the puffy white clouds.

'Hang in there Kagome. We'll be there soon.'The yourkai brothers had both fallen for the Higarashi's. Kikyo would never forgive him if he let anything happen to her sister without a decent fight.

"Hey. Can you get the door open between you and Kagome?"Sesshomaru only glared at his brother without turning his head. "Neither can I."

Sesshomaru's P.O.V

'Please be safe my little ningen. Please be safe."tears threatened to fall from my eyes like they had so many centuries ago. I can remember that day so clearly as though it was a movie inside my head instead of a memory. The day mom died. . . .

"Mommy? Mommy please wake up. I killed the demon, you have to look!"A very young Sesshomaru shook his mother who was laying on the ground blood everywhere. A carcass of a yourkai laid in pieces the result of the child's energy whip. Tears gathered in his eyes but his eyes were transfixed on his mothers closed ones. His eyes traveled down to her parched lips which were white and devoid of color as were her cheeks. "Mommy! Please! You can't leave me!"He laid on his mother's chest and tears began to flood from his eyes. "No! Please come back! Mommy. . . . ."A shadow cast down on Sesshomaru and his mother who was lying lifeless on the ground. The young Tai-yourkai ran up to his father as InuTashio embraced his devastated son.

"Daddy. . . . . . ." Sesshomaru never shed another tear no matter how much pain he went through. Since that day Sesshomaru never expressed emotion. He didn't want to loose anyone else again.

'No matter what the cost, Kagome, I'll protect you.' Sesshomaru took Tensaiga from it sheath just enough to see his reflection in the sharpened blade'I won't ever have to loose anyone again.'
