Chapter Three: Questions and Answers

Sesshomaru's POV

This human wench is nearly dead.I'm suprised she could even walk like this .Sesshomaru had taken Kagome to a cave he had found earlier.He had to start a fire just to keep her alive.He sure as heck wasn't about to share his body heat with some human. She is quite beautiful for a human, though, he thought.Frowning, he wondered where that thought had come from.He sighed and began to undress her so he could asess her wounds. My brother did this to her,I can smell him on her.He smells of the clay priestess,too. Why would he injure her like this? I know he was attracted to her. He pulled the arrow through her shoulder and she groaned.After he washed and bandaged her wounds, he put more sticks on the fire and went to bathe. Finding a hot spring, he stripped to nothing and slid in. Relaxing, he half-closed his eyes and listened to the forest sounds.His mind drifted to inuyasha and that wench. Will Inuyasha even want her now? How will I trade her for the tetsuiga if she means nothing to him?He tried to kill her. I wonder why he didn't succeed? Sesshomaru was no fool. He knew his half-brother was powerful. Not as powerful as him, mind you, but still, he was close. This human must be strong.But I sense no demon aura in her. Thinking of all the facts, he began to piece things together. Inuyasha must have chosen the dead miko over this human.Then he tried to kill her to get the soul back.But the wench stopped him somehow, thats when the miko stepped in. thats where the arrow is from.But my half-brother is still in the village the dead miko used to live.How could this human get so far with such extensive wounds? He got out and dried off.Putting his clothes and armor on, he could hear the human starting to awaken.This is no ordinary human girl. She will soon make things clear for this Sesshomaru.He walked into the cave and sat cross-legged by the girl.

Kagomes POV

I woke up in hell.My shoulder felt like someone had shoved a hot poker through it, which wasn't far from the truth.My side was killing me as well. I didn't even attempt to sit up. it hurt just laying there, I would probably die if I moved.Kagome opened her eyes and was met with golden amber orbs. She blinked in disbelief."Inu...yasha?" she heard a growl, then a voice, calm and deep.

"Do not refer to me by my worthless, half-breed brothers name."Sesshomaru said.Kagome blinked again and saw Sesshomaru. Her mind froze in fear.then she relaxed. I dont care anymore. Then she said with a deadpan voice,

"Kill me." Sesshomaru's eyebrow quirked at her sudden request.

"I did not build a fire and dress your wounds to just kill you." Suddenly noticing her surroundings she asked,

"Where am I? Why have you taken care of me? I thought you hated-" He covered her mouth with his tail.

"I will be asking the questions, understood?"She only nodded. She was to weak to protest.

"How did you get injured?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer. Her eyes glazed over for a moment.

"Inuyasha..."she whispered.

"Inuyasha tried to kill you?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because..." she saild weakly, but with much anguish."He loves Kiykyo. I have her soul." Sesshomaru nodded.

"Kill me, or leave me to go home. I am done answering your questions."she said, a bit deffiantly. To deffiant for him. He grabbed her throat.

"You will tell me everything I ask or i will make you suffer."he threatened calmly.

"There is nothing you can do to hurt me anymore than i already have been hurt." she said deppressingly.

" I could kill you."

"Good."

"Then bring you back to life and repeat it in a more painfull way." he smirked slightly as she gulped.

"The tensuiga..."she whispered. He nodded. He had her now. Or so he thought.Her eyes suddenly flashed and she used her miko poweres to blast him against the opposite wall. He sat there in shock.

"Your a miko?" he asked with a touch of suprise in his monotone voice.

"Didn't you know?" she asked innocently. He shook his head.

"My sources failed to inform me of that minor fact." I'm going to ul kill Jaken.

Tell me what you think! was it good? was it awful? flamers are welcome! R&R!!!
