A/N
I have found that some people either don't pay attention or they have the memory span of a rodent. For those of you who have not read chapter 16, Karappo freed Kagura. I'm not telling you how you morons, you can figure that out yourselves. And FYI, in my story, Kohaku is dead. His jewel shard is in the jewel as well as Koga's making it totally complete. Many of you were also saying that is was cute to have Shippo and Rin get together. It's not cute, it's smart. I don't do cute! Learn the difference.

P.S.
To the reviewer named Hentai-Guy,
Before you post that picture that you said you would draw, email it to me. I want to make sure it some what matches what Karappo looks like in my mind and my sketch book. So (sticks tongue out at you!) I will be waiting.
Wounded
The full moon shined brightly in the clear night sky. The wind blew through the trees creating beautiful music. The wide array of flowers danced to the silent beat. The wind blew through the open balcony doors and disturbed the black curtains. It continued into the dark room, shuffling papers and such. It then fingered through tresses of black hair. The soft locks tickled the skin of their owner, waking her. Karappo shivered as she was awoken from her pain induced sleep. She sat up slowly, her head hurt badly. She looked at the room around her and realized she was back at SesshoMaru's palace. She got off of her black bed and finally noticed that she was still dressed in her blood stained cloths. She went to the closet and got out a black kimono. She quickly changed then went over to the open balcony door to close it when she spotted some one in the garden below.
SesshoMaru stood in silence, letting the world pass him by. He gazed at the full moon shining over him. A breeze flew passed him, only disturbing his long silver locks. He fingered a rose in his newly regenerated hand. He held the thorn less stem with the utmost care. Not wanting to damage the rare flower. As he stared at the moon and held the rose, he thought back to what had happened during that day. Karappo had killed Naraku and Inuyasha, regenerated his arm and cried for him when she thought him dead. He had carried her when she could not move herself. He watched her while she slept. He had learned that Rin was infatuated with the young fox and that he returned her feelings. His world was changing, very quickly. He had nothing to hold onto, to stay the same, in this great change. He then felt a presence behind him.
SesshoMaru turned to see Karappo standing behind him. She was wearing a black kimono. Her hair hung loose down her back and her bangs trailed down to her stomach. She stared at him with her solid black eyes. He turned away from her and stared at the moon again. What could he say to her? He knew she cared about him and that he felt the same way. He admitted to himself that he loved her but how could he look at her knowing that? He prayed that she would speak first but it was then a question popped into his mind. With out turning to face her, he asked it.
"What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know. Anything I guess."
"If I remember correctly, you wanted to die after you killed Naraku and Inuyasha."
"I did."
"Do you still?"
"I don't want to die but I don't want to go home either."
"Then you don't have too. You can stay here as long as you like. And if you do leave, remember you will always have a place here to stay."
"That was sweet SesshoMaru. I think I will stay awhile until I decide what I'm going to do."
They stayed silent, neither speaking nor moving. Then, SesshoMaru turned to Karappo and grabbed her hands. She froze when he touched her. He then placed the rose he had been holding within her white hands. He closed her hands around it and began to walk to the palace. She opened her hands to see a thorn less red rose. She held it in her hands and stared at its beauty. She knew what a red rose meant. It meant love. She felt her eyes burn with tears. SesshoMaru loved her. Why else would he give her a red rose? She held the rose in her hand as she ran after him.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For your love."
Karappo then wrapped her arms around SesshoMaru and kissed him. After his shock wore off, he kissed her back. He wrapped one arm around her waist and the other held the back of her head. When she tried to breathe, he tightened his grip upon her and pulled her small frame flush against his muscular frame. When he did so, she gasped, allowing him access to her mouth. His long tongue traced her feline fangs and explored every corner of her mouth. After he coaxed her tongue to explore his mouth, the arm that was wrapped around her waist traveled up her back and then rested back around her waist. When she pulled away for air, he began licking the shell of her ear. He then pulled her earlobe in between his canine fangs, causing her to moan. The hand he had on the back of her head now rested on her waist with his other arm.
SesshoMaru continued to trial kissed down from her ear to her jaw line. Then her neck. He licked and nipped her pale neck, savoring her skins flavor. He nipped at the junction of her neck and shoulder, where he hoped to lay his mark on her eventually. One of his arms slowly removed the shoulder of her kimono. Her head rolled back in pleasure as he nipped at her pale shoulder. She moaned when one of his hands grasped her ass as she ground against him longingly. Her small hands grasped his neck and hair, forcing him to continue but he didn't. He wanted to know if she was really ready. If she really wanted to become his mate or if she was just acting out of lust. He wanted to know.
