Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, cuz if I did, I would lock them all away! And you filthy little green people wouldn't see them ever again! Mwahahaha!

Two ways out, chapter 2 blood replenished.

Kagome was only barley aware her stomach had been torn open. The only thing running through her mind was Inuyasha last words. 'I choose kikyo… I choose kikyo… I choose kikyo' kept going through her mind. Over and over again these words echoed in her head, tearing her poor, pure, miko heart to ribbons.

She knew Inuyasha was after her, to try and tell her he was sorry and he didn't mean it and that he was confused and blah blah flipping blah. If he found her he would only break her heart again. "And what is the point of living if you don't have the only person in the world you loved? It wont be two difficult for Inuyasha, he has precious Kikyo, and he doesn't need me…. I will end this love triangle hear and now!"

With those words, she stumbled through the forest, making her way to her favorite hot spring. Once she saw the steam rising, her heart eased, for she knew it would all be over soon. She limped over to the edge of the hot spring and sat at the edge. The wound in her womb wasn't big or painful enough. The blood that coursed through her vanes burned with heartbreak. He had to get all the blood out… and stop the pain. She would have to speed up the process! She always kept a small pocked knife in a pocket on her skirt. She drew the blade, held out her wrist, and made a cut, which went from her wrist to the middle of her arm.

It felt… good to be in charge of her own pain. She gently placed her bleeding arm in the water. It would be all over soon. Sango and Miroku would most likely get married, and have lots of little children! Happy ending. Inuyasha would drop Shippo off at a demon village; he would get a new mom and dad. Happy ending. Inuyasha and Kikyo could live together in peace since Kagome's death meant Kikyo could have all of her soul back. Happy ending. Kagome would go to hell in Kikyo's place… not a happy ending unless you considered that their would be no more heart break for Kagome.

She was sinking into these thoughts when an icy cold voice asked, "What are you doing?" She knew it was Sesshomaru. He was the only demon she knew who could mask his own aura. Without turning around, she whispered so even his dog-ears had to strain to hear it "Hot water… keep blood flowing out of the cut… die faster… no more burning pain." She sighed with relief as the blood rushed out of her wrist. Then she blacked out.

Sesshomaru turned to leave the miko; after all, she was only his annoying halve-brother's wench. But before he could take one step away from her, something tugged at his long forgotten heart. He turned back to face the dying woman in time to watch her fall into the hot spring. Not knowing why, and not exactly wanting to, he scrambled into the water and lifted the young miko into his arm. (He only has one remember!) She was soaking wet and her white shirt clung to her, reveling a body Sesshomaru was not familiar with.

All of the demoness's Sesshomaru had slept with before had muscular bodies, but no her (being human!). Her body was slender and chalk full of curves. She had little muscle on her stomach and a soft smooth body that made her look amazingly angle like, not a bad face either. Sesshomaru slapped himself on the inside.

'Don't think like that! Not only is she human but she is you brothers woman!'

'Not a bad body though huh?'

'No, not at all! And when the moon hits her just right she looks- hang on! Who in bloody hell are you!'

'Well, since I'm you, we can rule out genius!'

'You're my conscience?'

'Yup, your good one.'

'Then why are you encouraging these hellish thoughts!'

'Isn't it obvious? The poor thing tried to kill herself! Your brother must have done something… again… but why would he attack her? Must have lost his temper you should take her in, and show her that there is more to life than that stupid hanyou!'

'…I cold use a sitter for Rin seeing how Jaken does such a poor job…after all, she is a mother to the fox kit… Rin needs a female role model other than the servants… '

" NO, NO, NO YOU IMBASILE! TAKE HER AND LOVE HER! SHE NEEDS YOUR LOVE RIGHT NOW AND YOU DAMN SURE NEED HER'S TO MELT THE LAYER OF ICE AROUND THAT BLACK SPOT IN YOUR CHEST YOU CALL A HEART!"

'I WILL NOT! She is human! She would never do as lady of the West!"

'Don't try and pull that one on me you moron! I am you so that means I have seen her fight just as you have! She could take on any of those demon sluts you've had so far!'

'… That is true…'

' Yes, yes, YES! You want her, now show her that Inuyasha is a thing of the past!'

'No. She will come to the castle and play teacher to Rin, my pride will overcome any emotion this miko rises in me.'

'You sicken me! You wanna play that way buddy, we'll see how long you last until pure, raw lust sets in!'

'Fine, well see. Now go before the miko dies from blood loss!'

Sesshomaru waited until he was sure his conscience was gone before carrying the miko into a near by cave ware he was currently residing (He has a lot of land to look after! He works with what he has!) And set her on a pile of demon furs from witch he recently destroyed. He bandaged her wounds as best he could, then slipped a potion into her mouth. She cocked on it at first, but got it down. The potion was a blood restorer that could work wonders for wounds ware a lot of blood was lost. (He's had to try it only once.)

Then, he sat and watched her sleep. Her breath was less labored, so that meant she was getting better. She was indeed beautiful. She had long raven hair that reached the small of her back, rosy lips and lovely pale skin. Though you couldn't see it, she also had eyes that were born to raise hell! One eye was a dark, dark violet, while the other one was green and just as dark as the other. (Yes, in my story she does!) He leaned over a little and thought to himself 'how could my brother bring any harm to a creature such as this… how could I have ever thought to bring her harm! ' He said remembering he tried to kill her on a few occasions. He would never again bring this glorious woman ever again! Never ever again!

Thanks again Sickness and Kat! You two helped me out big time! And thanks to all who responded to my story (and didn't flame!) you can expect me to Wright every 1-2 days so don't worry, I hate it when I start reading a story then find out the author hasn't finished it and their entry was in 2004! (I hate all you little green people! You're the resin I need medication!)
