Chapter title - Dreaming of Death

When Kagome woke up and remembered all that had happened, she wished for death. She was in a beautiful room, in a four poster bed with satin blankets.' Who brought me here? where is here?' she thought to herself. Suddenly, the door opened.

Seshomaru's POV

She looked up at me, her face blank. I walked over and threw back the blankets. She didn't even flinch. She was wearing a simple white nightgown that I had changed her into earlier. I picked her up carefully and took her to the bathroom. She didn't protest.She seemed dead.

Sesshomaru sat her down gently and lifted her off her nightgown. He sat behind her and cleaned her mangled back. He put a healing salve on her back and wrapped it up.

"Inuyasha did this to you again?" she didn't answer. He slipped her nightgown back over her head.

" I will not stand for you ignoring me.Tell me yes or no." She looked up at him. He nearly flinched. Her eyes were so conflicted, she was in such pain. ' So tortured'
Sesshomaru thought.She nodded her head in a silent answer to his question. She slowly rose and began to stiffly walk aimlessly to the end of the hallway. He used his demon speed and was suddenly infront of her.

"Your not going anywhere. You will stay here until I say. And you will speak when spoken to. Understood?" he commanded. She jerked her head up to glare at him defiantly.

"I don't have to stay here! You can't make me!" kagome threw back. His eyebrows went way up.

Kagome ran down down the hall.He followed to see what she was doing. Lokking around franticly when she reached a large room , she ran quickly to the weapons she had found. Sesshomarus eyes narrowed and he quickened his pace She had grabbed a sword , and was about to skewer herself when he pulled it out of her hands.

"Give it back!" she yelled.

"You will not be making a mess all over my floors." he said, putting the sword back on the wall. She suddenly attacked him, pounding on his chest with her tiny fists, all the while yelling at him,

"Fine then! If you wont let me kill myself, then you kill me!" He let her hit him until he realized she wasn't about to stop. He smacked her hard accross the face, and held onto her wrists. she yelped and went limp, falling to the ground. He lowered her down and let her lay there.

"Why are you keeping me here?" She asked. He regarded her curiously, sprawled out on the ground.

"I don't have to explain my actions to you." they stayed in silence for a minute.

"So, now what? Are you going to try and trade me for the tetsuiga? Because it won't work. Besides, Inuyasha is under some kind of spell, I think. So, since I'm useless to you, why are you keeping me here?"

"As I said, I do not have to-"

"-Explain my actions to you." she mimicked him.

"Yes. you will stay here, and-"

"Oh! It's the pretty lady!" Rin came running up with flowers in her hands,"Milord? Jaken said that Sesshomaru-sama wouldn't want flowers from a p-pathetic h-human." she looked up at him with tears in her eyes, her lip quivering. Sesshomaru's eyes softened, and he took the flowers.

" Jaken was wrong. I like your flowers. Jaken?" the ugly toad demon came waddleing around the corner.

"Yes milord?" then to rin he said,"See? I told you he wouldn't like them. Stupid human filth!"

"Jaken? Put these flowers in a vase."

"b-but Milord!" He sputtered.

"Jaken?"he cautioned.

"Yes Milord. I'll get a vase." He walked around sesshomaruto get a vase. Sesshomaru kicked him swiftly and sent him skidding accros the floor. Rin giggled. Sesshomaru patted her head.

"Rin, take this girl to bathe."

"Yes Milord!" she quiped and started pulling kagome down the hall by the hand.

"Hello pretty lady! Whats your name? Rins name is Rin!"

"My name is Kagome. you have such a pretty name Rin." Rin sqealed with delight at being complimented by the "pretty lady." Kagome walked with Rin into a room with a large bathing area. Rin helped Kagome wash her back, then she rewrapped it. After she was done, they went to find something to wear.

" Ooh! This ones really pretty!" Rin held up a white kimino with green dragons on it. She decided to wear this one and Rin helped her put it on.

There was a knock on the door and Rin ran to let whoever it was in. She flung open the door and sesshomaru walked in. He looked at kagome but there was no change in his expression.' I must not be pretty enough for him.' she scoffed. 'as if I care whether he approves or not.'

"Lunch is being served."

In the dining room, they sat at a long table in the middle of the huge room. Beautiful tapestries lined the walls. Intricate carvings were on the table and chairs, depicting fierce battles and different demon lords. Kagome sat as far away from Sesshomaru as possible. He didn't like that but decided to give her her space.Rin sat next to her Sesshomaru-sama. She was wearing a pink kimino with white flowers on it. Sesshomaru was wearing the usual.

Kagome wasn't really up to eating. ' Here I am. In a beautiful palace being treated like a princess. Well, a princess being held captive. And I still want to die. Lifes not worth the heartache.' She looked over at sesshomaru. ' Why wont he let me die? He can't possibly care if i live or not. So what would he want me for. Inuyasha dosent care about me. If Sesshomaru tried to trade me for the tetsuiga, he would laugh in his face.' She sat there with her hands in her lap, staring at her plate. The food looked wonderful, but how could she eat after all that had happened? ' hmm. If I don't eat I'll die.' As if reading her thoughts,

"Eat. Or I will force you to." he said nonchalantly.

"I'm not hungry." She said crossing her arms and turning away.

"Oh really? I may be a demon but i'm not stupid. I know when humans need to eat. You've been asleep for two days, I know you must be starving." Kagomes stomach did feel a little on the empty side.

"I don't have to eat."

"Yes actually, you do." She glared at him but looked around the table. She picked up her glass and took a sip to see what was inside, and if she liked it. She started gulping it down greedily. Sesshomaru smiled. ' If only she knew what I had planned for her.'
