Chapter Eleven

I cracked one eye open, woken by the sound of yelling. I thought for a moment,

remembering that I had fallen asleep in Kagome's warm arms the night before, but now my body

was cold. My eyes widened when I saw Kagome, her one arm limp at her side, dripping blood,

attempting to dodge numerous curved blade-like objects. I could see that her eyes were burning

red, but her face was so pale, I became afraid immediately for the miko's life.

I then saw Kagura, her fan raised to attack my future mate again. I attacked the youkai so

quickly, making sure that her attack wouldn't be Kagome's last, that the wind sorceress didn't

even have a chance to block as my claws ripped through her chest. The sound of my nails tearing

through her flesh was sickening, yet satisfying to me. 'How dare you harm Kagome...' I thought

as Kagura's body fell to the ground, unmoving.

"Sesshomaru..." Kagome whispered, making me turn to look at her. The moment I saw

her face, I couldn't help but feel...guilty for killing Kagura. Kagome didn't want Kagura to be

killed, her expression conveyed that.

"Gomen..." I said quietly, lowering my head, listening to the miko's footsteps as she

walked up to me. 'She harmed Kagome...but Kagome didn't want her dead...why?' I asked

myself, but couldn't think of an answer. 'It was too easy...' I thought, my eyes widening as I felt

a gust of wind behind my back. I turned to see Kagura had gotten up, the marks from my claws

fading away quickly.

"Not bad, I'll admit you caught me by surprise, but not again, Sesshomaru," Kagura

stated, smiling sadistically at me. I easily dodged her attacks, no matter what way she assailed, I

remained unscathed. After a few minutes of moving to the side of her attacks, I realized

something. Kagura didn't want to kill us.



"What do you want?" I asked as I moved in closer to the wind sorceress. 'If she came to

attack us, she would have killed me in my sleep...' I thought to myself.

"Kill Naraku soon, that's all I ask...only you and that miko have the power to do so..."

Kagura replied, her voice filled with defeat.

'She finally realized she isn't powerful enough to kill Naraku...hmpf, I don't see why I

should help her...' I thought to myself. "Why should I? You are his minion, why should I trust

you?"

"Kanna will be tortured if I don't bring your heads back to him...you know what it is like

to be unable to protect the ones you love..." Kagura replied, backing away slightly when I

growled. "Don't think your childhood is a secret...almost all demons know what happened to

you...and most fear you because you are still sane..."

"We'll help you, Kagura...but you have to promise to leave us alone after Naraku is

killed," Kagome said, making me whirl around, but I bit my tongue before I growled at her. I was

so used to getting my way, I had to force myself to allow the miko to do what she wanted. 'If

Kagome wants to help her...then I shall as well...' I though to myself, nodding at the ningen who

was looking at me expectantly. "And Inuyasha and the others will help as well...once they're

conscious..."

"Thank you," Kagura replied quietly, bowing her head. "Gomen...I didn't want to deal

with that hanyou..."

"It's alright...I probably would have 'sit' him a few times just to stop him from going at

your throat..." Kagome commented, making the wind sorceress smile slightly. I sighed inwardly,

admitting my defeat. 'Now that they're friends...I'll have to deal with that youkai...' I thought to

myself.



"Where is she?" Naraku asked himself, knowing that Kanna was listening. 'She has been

gone for over a day...but she is not dead...nor seriously injured, if she was, she would have come

running back...' he thought to himself.

Kanna watched her master, remembering what Kagura had told her before she left...to stall

for time. She wasn't sure what the wind sorceress was planning, but whatever it was, she would

help. She wanted to get away from Naraku just as much as the other youkai.

"She knows I wasn't threatening to harm Kanna...she'll be back..." Naraku thought

outloud, sensing Kanna's eyes on his back.





"I don't like it...how can you be sure it isn't another one of Naraku's traps?" Inuyasha

asked Kagome, glaring at the new 'member' of their party. Kagura gave him a returning glare.

"I just know, Inuyasha," Kagome replied, hoping that the hanyou wouldn't try to kill

Kagura anymore, the ground was beginning to look like the moon from all the times she had to

'sit' him since he woke up.

"Feh..." Inuyasha mumbled, tearing his gaze from Kagura to look at Koga, who was

beginning to stir. 'At least she didn't seriously harm anyone...' Inuyasha thought to himself as he

glanced up at Kagome, noticing that her arm had already been bandaged. 'Sesshomaru doesn't

like the whole idea either...' he said inwardly, looking over at his brother, the demon lord's eyes

remaining on Kagura, waiting for her to do one thing wrong so he could kill her. 'And he's

holding back for Kagome...he really must love her...good, 'cuz if that bastard didn't, then I'd kill

him for toying with Kagome's emotions!' Inuyasha smirked, glad to know that he wasn't the only

one to have recently found love in the strangest of places.

"What are you smiling about?" Koga asked quietly as he sat up and gingerly kissed

Inuyasha. He then looked around, seeing Sango and Rin playing with Kirara, then saw Kagura,

which unsettled him for a moment, but he calmed down when he saw Kagome and the wind

sorceress were talking about something that was making them laugh.

"You're lying!" Kagome exclaimed, snorting.

"No, he really is!" Kagura retorted good naturedly.

"Talk about overcompensating..." Kagome stated, making Koga, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru,

Miroku, Kohaku, Myoga, Jaken, and Shippou wonder what the two women were talking about,

their minds whirling with perverted topics.

Authoress: Talk about an end to a chapter...

Koga, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Kohaku, Myoga, Jaken, and Shippou: *eyes twitching*

Authoress: yeah, exactly what ALL of ya think, kay?!

Sesshomaru: *eye falls out from over-twitching*

Jaken: I've got it, Master Sesshomaru! *races after eyeball that is rolling around the room*

Koga, Miroku, Myoga, and Inuyasha: *laughing insanely*

Shippou and Kohaku: *leave room filled with nuts people*

Naraku: *pops out of nowhere*

Authoress: *SNORTS*

Naraku: nani?

Sesshomaru: *since he no longer has eyes, his nose is twitching* idiots...
