Kagome's body fell limply to the ground. "Gomen, Kagome. You-you betrayed me. It was deserved." Inuyasha examined his claws. Kagome's blood was drenched in it. "Gomen…" Inuyasha turned around and ran away. Then he picked up Kikyo's scent. "Kikyo! Is it really you!" Inuyasha ran towards her soul collectors.
MEANWHILE
Jaken was flying with Aun. He noticed blood drippings around and decided to follow it. What he saw horrified him to his bones. "EEEEPPPP! SESSHOMARU-SAMA!" Jaken ran as fast he could to find his master. Aun stayed where they saw Kagome's body. They put their heads down and picked her up and put her on their back. Aun then picked up the wind and flew.
AT THE CASTLE
"SESSHOMARU-SAMA! SESSHOMARU-SAMA!" Jaken was screaming for his master. He couldn't find him. Then he bumped into Wakana. "Wakana… 'pant' 'pant' Where is Sesshomaru-sama?" Before she could answer, Sesshomaru appeared before him. "Right here." Sesshomaru said. "Sesshomaru-sama. You would never guess what had happened." When Jaken finished that part of the sentence, Aun was at the front gate with blood dripping on the back of it. "Aun seems perfectly fine, with the matter of blood dripping-. Wait. Is that that human girls blood?" Sesshomaru turned to his retainer. Jaken nodded. "Hmph. Inuyasha…You did have the heart to kill a human after all." Sesshomaru then called Aun to him. Aun walked to him and turned to his side to reveal the girl. Kagome was drenched in her own blood. Where she was wounded was her neck. Inuyasha cut the lower part of her neck and left like that. "Aun. Put her down." Aun followed his orders and left. 'Tenseiga, revive this girl. I will put my trust in you.'
Sesshomaru pulled out Tenseiga and the sky darkened around him. He saw the messengers from hell and slashed them away. Kagome woke with a sudden fright. "Where, where the hell am I?" Kagome looked around. Her eyes were a bit blurry so she could only see color and no outline. She then saw silver hair and jumped back. Sesshomaru sheathed Tenseiga. "Hmph. Wench. Who the hell do you think I am?" Sesshomaru advanced towards him. Kagome knew that voice was so familiar. She wanted to move, but she couldn't. All she could do is stare into the golden eyes. When Sesshomaru was face-to-face with her, Kagome saw a lot of armor. "Sesshomaru…" Kagome then fainted on him. Sesshomaru grabbed her and knew she passed out from the lack of blood. He called Wakana over to take Kagome to her room. Sesshomaru didn't realize that Kagome was still bleeding. When he went to his room, he found dry blood on him. "What in seven hells," He paused for a moment. He looked over at Tenseiga, which was still pulsing. "Tenseiga. I thought you healed that girl. Why did you only revive her? Is it because you were made from a demon fang and that she was a miko that you can only revive her?" He unsheathed his sword, and looked at it. It was pulsing like it never had before. "Tenseiga…" Sesshomaru then sheathed his sword and walked out of his room.
When he was on the way to Kagome's room, he bumped into Hinako. She bowed and looked up into his eyes. He seemed to show little emotion, but still had his emotionless mask on. "Gomen-nasai, Sesshomaru-sama. I didn't know that you were coming down this," She was cut off short when Sesshomaru walked past her. 'Tch. Touchy, touchy. Hmm…He's gonna be harder to get to than I thought…' Hinako said and a smirk crossed her lips. 'It might be easier than I thought…' Hinako had thought up the most evilest plan she could come up with. She knew that Sesshomaru was falling for the human girl. 'I just have to kill her then.' Hinako then looked at Sesshomaru's back as it started to get smaller in the dark.
Sesshomaru followed Tenseiga's pulse. It got louder as it got closer to Kagome. 'Tenseiga-wa. You want me to go to Kagome, so shall be it.' Sesshomaru then walked casually to Kagome's room. Kagome was drenched with sweat, and she was also tossing and turning in her bed. Wakana wasn't there with her. Sesshomaru wondered why she wasn't with Kagome, but decided he had to take care of the girl then. He then used his tail to lift Kagome's head up. At this, her reaction was calm. She laid still, but she was still sweating. Her breathing was low, and so was her heart rate. Her life was slowly dying. Sesshomaru looked at her in shock. Her lips weren't as red as they were supposed to be. Instead, they were turning into a pale white like color. Her skin was dry, not creamy like it used to be. (A/N: He's being like Koga! Checking pple out! Anyways, I'm gonna go now.)
Sesshomaru carefully put her down on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a wash cloth. When he returned, she was sitting up. "Oh…Why does my head hurt?" Kagome panted and felt her head. "What the hell is happening to me?" She couldn't stand the pain. She then grabbed her legs and started crying. Sesshomaru stood by her bedside and rolled his eyes. He put his hand on her shoulder. She jumped at this, and her head continued to hurt worse. "Who-What the hell- huh?" She calmed down when she saw Sesshomaru's golden eyes. They weren't hard and cold as before, but soft and filled with worry. "Sessho," Sesshomaru put his finger on her lips. She then looked at him again, this time with some questions in her eyes. With these thoughts about Sesshomaru in her head, her headache just stopped. "Kagome. Why are you up? You're supposed to be laying down, resting, not up and getting your sickness worse. I would have to then worry more." Sesshomaru stated and looked at the balcony. "You mean, you were worried about a human like me?" Kagome asked with question filled in her face. "Well, you could of just died out there if I didn't ask Jaken to look for you! It's not like I wanted to or anything." That last sentence reminded her of herself. "Sesshomaru. You sound just like me when I fell in love with," At the thought of Inuyasha's image, a flash of fear crossed her face she then whimpered, then cried again. Sesshomaru walked over to her and sat next to her. "Kagome. Doustano?" Sesshomaru looked down at her face. "Iei. It's just that, out in the woods, where I was supposed to die, I guess, Inuyasha, never mind." Kagome looked away from him and looked at the balcony. "Maybe you need sometime alone. I'll just leave you here then. If you need any help, call Wakana." Sesshomaru turned to the door when he heard Kagome ask something. "Sesshomaru-sama. What about Hinako? Can't I ask her too?" Sesshomaru turned his head to face her. "I don't trust her to female guests at my home. I feel strange in a way, so don't ask her. She isn't trusted much around here." Sesshomaru then turned back to his destination.
MEANWHILE
"INUYASHA! Where's my okaa-san?" Shippo ran to the half-demon. Inuyasha turned his head away from his friends. "Inuyasha. What is wrong? Where is Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked, hoping for an answer from his friend. No reply. "Where is my sister, Inuyasha?" Sango then wanted an answer. Inuyasha couldn't stand it. Then Shippo looked at him in a questioning way. "What? You have a problem?" Shippo then sniffed Inuyasha. "You've been with Kagome. I smell her on you. Not only that…" Shippo then backed away from Inuyasha and started crying. "What's wrong, Shippo?" Sango asked and picked him up in her arms. Kirara, however, wasn't satisfied that this was the Inuyasha she knew. She growled and snarled at him. "Kirara! What is wrong? What is wrong with both of you!" Sango then grabbed Kirara's mane and covered Shippo's mouth. "Houshi-sama! Help!" Sango was desperate. Kirara got loose of Sango's grasped and then went to attack Inuyasha. Shippo then stopped crying and went to attack, too! (A/N: Brave Shippo-chan!) "What the hell?" Miroku was confused, and so was Sango. All they could do is stare at their friends beating up each other. "You guys! Stop already!" Inuyasha jumped up in the air, Kirara following, with Shippo on her back. "Fox Fire!" Inuyasha blocked it with his haori. Kirara's turn was soon. She then used her tail and smacked Inuyasha to the ground. Inuyasha got up and coughed up the dirt and some blood. "That's what you deserve, you traitor!" Shippo then jumped off of Kirara and on to Inuyasha. "Shippo! What do you mean by traitor?" Miroku asked. "Kirara! Yabute! Now!" Sango yelled at her friend. Still, Kirara didn't stop. Kirara snarled and showed her fangs at Inuyasha. "I mean, Inuyasha told Kagome that he loved her right?" Sango and Miroku nodded while Kirara was on top of Inuyasha. "Well, he-he…'sniff' 'sniff' He killed my okaa-san!" Shippo then started crying. Kirara then transformed back into the smaller, adorable form again but then its fur was still standing on its end. "Inuyasha? Is this true? You killed Kagome-sama?" Miroku then stepped back, following with Sango. Inuyasha turned away, ears flattened against his skull. "Inuyasha? WHY! WHY TO MY ONLY SISTER!" Sango burst into tears. Miroku went to comfort her. "Inuyasha!" Sango called out to him before he left. "Never come back! Never come back until you have Kagome here alive again!" Sango yelled at him and continued to cry. "She's right, Inuyasha. No more Kagome, means no more friendship." Miroku then got up with Sango, got on Kirara, and left.
