Sesshomaru felt his youkai blood boiling, strong power was building in

him.

Then he heard Kagome's voice. "Sesshomaru!"

In rage his Taiyoukai blood over whelmed his mind.

The power in his soul unleashed it's self from inside him and snake

youkai

was hit and thrown to the ground by the impact.

Sesshomaru floated into the air, his youkai blood transforming him into

his

real form.

The snake youkai had heard of the legends of the rare and very powerful

youkai who could do such a phenomenon.

In dreaded fear it slithering as fast as it could away. Then it saw

Kagome.

"The humansss my only chance to sssurvive!" It hissed to itself.

His eyes locked with Kagomes. Hypnotizing her leaving her under his

total

control.

"Come to me." He hissed softly to her.

Kagome's body agreed but her mind rejected.

She stepped forward.

Sesshomaru saw this and growled dangerously.

"Come." It hissed.

Kagome couldn't stop herself

The gaze of the snake was so strong on her.

Sesshomaru's eyes blaze with fire. The wind increased.

Without taking his hypnotic gaze off of Kagomes, the snake youkai

yelled.

"Dog if you move the girl diesssss!"

A deep warning growl emerged from Sesshomarus throat.

The snake youkai smirked.

Kagome forced with all of her strength to speak but barely could.

"..S..se..sess...help...me." Was all that came from her mouth.

"You foolisssh mortal." The snake laughed menacingly.

Kagome's eyes widened.

"Come to me." The snake whispered.

Sesshomaru's youkai blood rushed through him, his temperature rising.

Suddenly the snake's scaly skin turned pale. Its face was shocked.

"Damn you." It spat choking.

The snake fell to the ground holding its body up with its claws, but

still

keeping its gaze on Kagomes.

"You injected poison into me…" It coughed up some bright blood.

Cold sweat trickled down Kagomes face.

The snake's skin shivered like as if in a fever.

"If I die…I'm taking you with me mortal!" It spat.

Opening its mouth, the youkai shot out venomous poison.

Kagome couldn't move. She wanted to scream for help, but nothing came

out.

Then a blur of white came in front of her. She felt a cold breeze blow

past

her.

All she expected was pain. But nothing came.

She was suddenly taken up in strong warm arms. She felt her body in

her

control once again.

She smiled to herself and thought one word.

"Sesshomaru…"

(With Sesshomaru…)

The toxin he injected into the snake was having its fatal effects.

The snakes face turned faint like ashes.

It's blood flow weakening.

"You injected poison into me..." It coughed up new blood.

Sesshomaru smirk inwardly.

The poison was setting in.

The snake quivered as a cold sweat covered its body.

"If I die…I'm taking you with me mortal!" It spat viperously.

It gaped its mouth open and projected out venom.

"The human will die if the poison hits her." Sesshomaru thought.

He then stopped his transformation.

His eyes turned back into gold. The marks on his cheeks and fangs

shrank to

their original size.

Then at rapid speed, he raced in front of Kagome.

Taking the hit, the poison melted two gnashes in his shoulder.

In pain, he grunted slightly. At the blink of as eye, he picked up

Kagome

and leapt in the air.

(With Kagome…)

Cold air blew on her face.

She looked up at him.

Sesshomaru's long silk hair floated lightly behind him.

"Thanks Sesshomaru." Kagome smiled sweetly.

Sesshomaru looked down at her form the corner of his eye.

A rumble came from deep inside of his hard chest into his throat making

a

soft growling purring noise.

Kagome was slightly surprised and smiled shyly.

Turning her gaze she looked at the setting horizon. The relentless sun

had

disappeared from behind the mountains.

All was left was a little glow of light that the sun in its trail.

Suddenly the cold air was coming from underneath her.

They were quickly losing altitude.

She looked down.

Kagome gasped and clung tighter to Sesshomaru.

Noticing her reactions to heights, he slowly lowered them down into the

forest below.

Lush green leaves brushed passed them on the way down.

Sesshomaru gently landed on his left foot followed by right.

He carefully set Kagome on the ground.

She just watched him in wonder.

"Umm…Lord Sesshomaru its getting kinda dark shouldn't we be going

back?"

She asked with curiosity.

Sesshomaru just silently walked on.

"Sesshomaru…" Kagome blankly watched him.

Suddenly she saw some bright blood soaked on his white kimono.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome shrieked and ran up next him.

"Your hurt, let me see wound you might be poisoned."

"Girl I am fine." Sesshomaru spoke in an icy tone.

"No Sesshomaru! Let me help you!" Kagome insisted.

"Girl I do not need you assistants."

"Will you stop calling me that! My name is K-a-g-o-m-e!" Kagome

yelled.

"I do not care what you are called human." Sesshomaru spoke like he

didn't

care.

Kagome was fuming. She clenched her fists so she wouldn't just

strangle

him.

"What's this guy's problem!" She steamed.

Suddenly Sesshomaru stopped. His face turned a bit pale. Hot sweat

trickled down his cheek. His breathing was rasped.

Weakly he walked up to a nearby tree and stuck his claws into the bark

not

to loose his balance.

"Sesshomaru…" A worried look spread across her pretty face.

His eyelids fell and his body fell limp. He slowly collapsed to the

ground.

Kagome gasped and stared in horror.

Sesshomaru s' body didn't move.

"SESSHOMARU!" Kagome yelled.

She ran to his side and fell to her knees on the moist ground.

His chest slowing rose and fell.

"He's just unconscious. Ok calm down Kagome!" She thought taking a

deep

breath.

She reached out and slowly slid up his sleeve.

She winced as she saw the two gashes in his shoulder. Poison bubbled

on it

and foam and blood flowed down his arm.

"I have to stop the bleeding." Kagome looked around her. Nothing. She

then

got an idea. Taking a hold of the side of her beautiful kimono, she

struggled and ripped a large piece of it, then carefully wiped the

wound.

Then she ripped another piece and gently tied it around the Taiyoukai

muscular arm. A soft grunt came from Sesshomaru.

"Sorry Sesshomaru." She whispered.

"I gotta somehow get rid of the poison!" She thought. "Think Kagome!"

She

squeezed her eyes tight, trying to remember.

(Flashback)

"Come here, Kagome." Kaede's called.

"What is it grandma?" Kagome jogged over to her grandmother.

"Do ye see this plant?" Kaede held up a dark turquoise circular plant

that

had a yellow stem.

"What is it for grandmother Kaede? Kagome got a curious look on her

face.

"This child is an antidote for snake venom." Kaede spoke with wisdom

in her

voice. "When someone is injected with its poison, ye need to take the

liquid of this plant and place it on the wound."

"Why the liquid?" Kagome asked.

"Because child the venom of a snake kills its victim slowly making its

death

a very long and painful one."

Her grandmother s' face became very stern.

"Unlike other poisons, it doesn't kill its prey in a short period of

time.

It makes the victim suffer and draws out the death of the poor

creature.

That is why ye need the blood of the plant to enter the veins of the

injected being." Kaede then smiled. "But don't ye worry Kagome….."

(End of flashback)

"A plant with a circular leaf…" Kagome whispered to herself.

Getting up she looked down at Sesshomaru.

"Don't worry Sesshomaru." She spoke aloud.

She then turned and disappeared in the forest.
