Chapter 24: Unexpected Injury
Kagome woke up to the rays of sunshine. She placed her hand on the opposite side of the bed, half expecting the smooth skin of Sesshomaru in the palm of her hand. She growled when she felt a piece of paper there instead. She sat up and picked up the piece of paper.
Kagome
Left early for battle will be back as soon as I can
Sesshomaru
'Sesshy..' Kagome mumbled. Over the past two months Sesshomaru had left dozens of notes similar to that one. She happy that he left the notes, not like the first time.
Flash back
Kagome woke up and yawned. 'Sesshy...' She said. She began to panick when the was no answer. 'Sesshy?' she checked in the bathroom, Youkou's bed, dining room and throne room. 'SESSHY!' She half cried, half screamed out. Shippo came running to her.
'What's wrong Kagome?' Shippo asked worriedly. She lout before looked up at him.
'Sesshomaru left me...' Kagome was able to mumble before sobbing.Sango and Miroku came over.
'Kagome says Sesshomaru left her.' Shippo said to them.
'I can't believe...Sesshomaru would do that to her.' Sango said.
'We should've never trusted a former enemy.' Miroku said, rubbing Kagome's back.
'Don't you dare touch me monk!' Kagome half yelled, half sobbed.
---------------0-------------------0---------------------
'I'm home Kag-- Oh you're here.How was yourday?' Sesshomarukissed her on thecheek instead of her lips because she had jerked her head. He could sense that she was angry.
'I was hoping you'd come and get your stuff.'
'What do you mean?'
'Like you don't know. Just leave.'
'Hey, I'm not leaving.'
'Yes you are.'
'This is MY CASTLE, if you haven't noticed, and what's going on?'
'Like you don't know!'
'I don't!'
'You're leaving me! Probably for some whore, like Kikyo! And after our first child? I used to think Inuyasha was low, but--'
'I will never leave you, and I am not as low as that half breed! I just went to a battle!'
'Oh, um...hehe.'
End Flashback
'We don't want that happening again!' Kagome said to herself. But even though she didn't need to worry about him if he wasn't there, the nightmare of never seeing him walk into their room again was scary. Kagome sighed and went to Kagome's room. As usual, Youkou was crying about every little thing.
'DADDY!' Youkou cried out. 'DADDY!' Kagome picked the infant up from her crib and rocked her back and forth.
'Daddy's not here..'
'DADDY!'
'Daddy's not here Youkou, but he'll come back soon.' I hope she thought as she carried Youkou to the dining hall for breakfast.

'Are you ready to lose again with your puny friend by your side, little brother?' Inuyasha growled at Sesshomaru's comment.
'I think it'll be YOU who's going to lose! Once I kill you, Sesshomaru, I will rule the Western Lands!' Inuyasha yelled to him. Inuyasha started fuming when Sesshomaru started to laugh. He doesn't know that I already have a heir...
'Fine, you'll find out that your petty fantasy will stay one after I kill you!' Sesshomaru commanded his army to charge and so did Inuyasha.
'Sesshomaru, why don't we have a little bit of fun and help our army make this ordeal go faster?' Kouga asked Sesshomaru.
'I think that would be ...entertaining.' Sesshomaru said. Kouga had already jumped off his horse after he had said that, and Sesshomaru ran into the middle of the battle.
-----------------0---------------------0---------------------0--------------
'Sesshomaru left for war, huh?' Sango asked her.
'Yeah.' Kagome said to her. Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Rin were at the table with Kagome and Youkou, having breakfast.
'Ha! I knew it! You haven't even eaten anything!' Sango said, 'Good thing he left a note.' she whispered.
'I heard that, y'know.'
'Hehe, sorry.'
'Lady Kagome, you must keep up your strength. You have to eat.' Miroku told her. Kagome ignored him and feed Youkou the rest of her breakfast.

I just don't know any of these soliders could've even Injured any of our soliders. They're pathetic. Sesshomaru thought as he beheaded another victim. He stared at the man's head, his eyes wide in shock. Simply pathetic. 'Kouga, how are you doing?' he asked as he sliced another solider in half. Sesshomaru wiped off the blood on the blade with a piece of cloth.
'About five of ours are injured but, about fifty of their's are dead.' Kouga told him. Sesshomaru was about to laugh until a sharp pain seared through his body. He looked down and saw a blade through his body, his clothing smeared with blood. He fell to the floor hearing someone cry for help. Kagome. he thought before he fell to the ground, blackness everywhere.
---------------0---------------0-------------------0---------
Kagome was in the garden playing with Rin and Shippo. Sango was there too, and Miroku was on the ground (guess why?). Youkou was in her crib sleeping.
'AHH!' Kaogme screamed, falling to the ground. Her head was killing her.
'Kagome! What's wrong?' Shippo ran up to her.
'Sesshomaru!' KAgome said before fainting of the pain.
--------------0--------------------0-------------------0-----------------
Kagome opened her eyes to see everyone around her, including a maid. She suspected the maid was a dog demon.
'Kagome! You're awake! Oh, thank goodness!' Sango cried, hugging Kagome.
'What happened?' Kagome asked her.
'Oh, you must have forgotten! Sorry! Well, we were playing with Rin and Shippo and all of a sudden you yelled and fell to the floor.' Sago replied. Kagome HAD remembered the pain she had before she fainted.
'Oh yes! What do you need?' Kaogme asked the maid. The maid frowned, as if saying there wasn't good news.
'Sesshomaru was injured in battle, and his wound is large. He might not make it. I'm sorry to have to give you this news.' Kagome couldn't say anything. Why couldn't I just tell him not to go? Why couldn't I go into battle with him?A thousand thoughts were filling her head.
'I have togo to him!'Kagome said, running tothe stables were Ah-Unwas held before a hand held her back.
'Kagome, you can't to this! Youwon't make it, and you have a baby to tend to!' Sangotold her. Kagome looked up at her.
'Sango, I have to do this. I will never be able to forgive myself if I let my love die when I could've tried to do something about it. What could I tell Youkouwhen she's older and wants to know who killed him. I might as well say I didbecause I didn't to anything to save him. I have to go.' Sangohugged her.
'Okay, we'll take care of Youkou for you whileyou're gone. Good luck.'Kagome smiled and was about to go to Ah-Un when a figure stood in front of her.
'Surprise.'
