The castle been silent of screams since Sesshomaru could last remember. It was many years ago when any noise like that could be heard around the place he has always called home. He surly never missed those days, never.
The women on the other hand was making so much noise that Sesshomaru's ears were ringing. Her screams and shouts even had his servants stop to look at them. Some even came running thinking that something had happened to Lady Rin.
"Will you quit screaming!" He sated as more of a command then a question.
"Not till you let go of me." She screamed in his face then spat at him.
Sesshomaru hadn't seemed to lose his temper. His face was calm and collected, but he was furious.
He grabbed her by the arm once again and started off down a darker hallway. Sesshomaru said nothing after that, witch in turn made the clay body to do the same.
It didn't take them much longer to make it to were Sesshomaru planed to be. He led the women in and sat her on a bed that was placed in the middle of the dark room. It was the only thing within it. Her feet hung off onto the floor that was made of cold stone. Sesshomaru left and shut large doors behind him. With a click, the door was then locked.
"What are you up too Sesshomaru?" With out answer Kikyou sat in the darkness awaiting her fate.
Sesshomaru was headed off towards Kagome's room when he was stopped by the young Rin. She called out to him and told him that she was very glad to see he was home.
"Are you hungry mi lord?" Rin asked with a smile on her face, but she never gave him time to answer. "If you are dinner is waiting for you in the dinning hall. I was headed there my self"
Getting the hint that she wanted him to join her, he fallowed, but not with out a glance at the door that held a grand treasure that he feared was to fare broken to fix.
Dinner had gone well in his opinion, but Rin was fretting over him. She could not help asking all through dinner if he was well.
"You look tired lord, was it a long trip?" a servant asked him as she came to collect the dishes.
"Yes. I hope never to take a trip like that again." Sesshomaru answered as he rubbed he temple.
"Would you like me to fetch someone to get your bath ready Lord"
"If you would"
"Secretly Lord." After she finished getting the dishes she went off to do the task at hand.
Sesshomaru sat there for what seemed hours, just starring at things within the room. He was having second thoughts about what he planed on doing. The question 'Why' was what started all of that. He couldn't understand why he was going to save her life. It would not help him in anyway. That's when it hit him. He was not doing this for the women he was doing this for the young Rin.
He soon got up as he heard foot steps coming towards the hall and found it to be the servant from dinner.
"Lord your bath has been readied for you"
With a out any reply he walked off. He went strait past the bathing room and down the darkened hallway.
Kagome's room was his first stop. Then, after he retrieved her body, he went off towards the room of the clay body.
'Why is there so much death wondering around my castle.' He thought to himself as he made his way down the hall way.
The door opened and light came in to the room. Kikyou had to shield her eyes for the light was to bright.
When she could see again the door had been closed to a point that little light could still get through.
"What do you want? I know you are up to something Sesshomaru"
He smiled in the lightened darkness, even though he didn't need the light to see. "You are right. I am up to something. It has to deal with something you have that I want back"
"I have nothing of yours"
"Its not mine, but a woman is dieing to have it back"
"What are you talking about"
"I need not explain it to you." With that said he raised his sword and sliced the clay bitch into pieces. Souls escaped along with Kagome's.
Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome and used he sword on the woman.
Her eyes soon fluttered open. She found herself looking up at the powerful lord. Her eyes reflected the was she felt. Fear.
That is what Sesshomaru plainly saw within her eyes. It pained him slightly that she feared him, but what was he expecting. She wasn't exactly awake at any moment when she was within his home.
He crouched down and picked her up bridle style. Kagome squeaked as he did so.
"What are you doing"
"Taking you to your room"
"What?" Kagome didn't understand what he was talking about. The last thing she could remember was that she had pasted out when she was headed home. What was she doing here in Sesshomaru's home? How had she even got here? So many question were going through the poor girls head.
She also felt to close to the Lord. He had been her enemy at one point what was he doing now? And what was this about her room? She doesn't have a room here.
"Rin was taking care of you. It was because you helped her those bandits many years ago"
That right she had helped Rin out with some bandits and had taken care of her. "May I ask you a question"
"What"
"Why are carrying me'
"You are to weak to walk"
"I'm not weak!" She yelled.
'What is with all this yelling today?' "You have been laying in a bed for a long time and have become weak"
"Oh"
Kagome let him carry her the rest of the way. He didn't bring her back to the room she had been in for those long painful days, but to a room that was right next to Rin. Kagome thanked him for his help and for letting her stay in his home.
"There is a bath ready for you if you want it. Ill send someone to help you. Cloths are over in the right corner." With that he left.
The room was quite large with a function filled with lovely pillows and blankets of all colors. There was a closet filled with wonderfully hand made kimonos for her to ware. A large painting of a woman was placed on the wall in front of the bed. She had long flowing white hair and had a mark on her forehead just like Sesshomaru's.
"Wow. She is so beautiful." Kagome stood there looking at the painting and managed to loose track of time. That was until she heard a knock on the door.
"Mi Lady, I am here to help you"
"Coming." Kagome went and let the servant in.
"My name is Sakura and I will be your personal servant during your stay here. My I show you to the bath house"
"Yes, thank you." Kagome quickly went to the closet and found something to ware . Then she fallowed Sakura to the bath house.
While Kagome walked with Sakura she found the woman to be very beautiful. She had long black hair that came down mid back. Her eyes hand been a lovely bright green . She wore a very nice Kimono herself, not one you may see servant in. It was light green with darker green trim. The sash around her waits was also a dark green.
They made it in a short time and Sakura hurried around here and there to get things ready for when Kagome was done.
"Mi Lady is there anything else I could get for you?" Sakura asked when she was finished.
"I don't think so." A sound came from Kagome's stomach that suggested other wise.
"I see. I shall have something made for you to eat. Ill come get you when its done. If you finish before hand.. Do you remember the way back to your room"
"Yes"
"Then Ill get you there." She bowed and then left Kagome alone.
'What is going on here. Why am I getting the royal treatment. I was dieing not that long ago. What has happed! I am so lost… Inuyasha'
Kagome began to cry. She had started to remember everything that had happened when they had defeated Naraku. 'Miroku will never get the child he wanted. Sango will never get to see her brother. Shippo I can't… and Inuyasha… I hate you.' She couldn't stop the tears from coming or the sobs from shaking her entire body.
Kagome stayed in the bath for quite a while. She was just trying to get herself to stop the tears, but every time she did they would soon start again.
Rin was walking by and heard someone crying. She knocked on the door and when she got no answer she just went right in.
"Hello is someone here"
"Yes, it is Rin. Who is asking"
"Oh Rin come in. Its me Kagome"
The two could not see each other through all the flog like steam.
Rin managed to find her way over to were Kagome was within the indoor spring. (in the bath house)
"What are you doing in here Kagome? Its like your back from the dead. "
"What are you talking about? I'm not dead. I never was"
"Yes you were Kagome. I saw it. It still will haunt me. I'm happy though that you are back. Sesshomaru saved you. He brought you back"
Now Kagome was even more confused. Why had Sesshomaru saved her? What would he have gotten from it. Nothing that's what.
Kagome could think of any thing else to say. She was lost in what Rin was telling her.
"Kagome your meal will be done soon. I think you should get out now"
"Your right. Will you help me get dressed. I'm not all to good with Kimonos.
"I would be happy to"
When they were all done Rin brought Kagome to the dinning hall. Kagome had insisted that she go back to her room so that they wouldn't miss Sakura, but Rin didn't listen.
Kagome ate her meal and was soon sent off to bed, with a little help. She still couldn't walk all to well and got a little light headed.
Sesshomaru went to see if she was alright. He really couldn't think of a reason why, but decided that it was because of Rin. He watch Kagome most of the night.
Over the years she had grown to be a very lovely woman indeed and Sesshomaru was being very observant of this fact.
He lifted his hand and placed it on her cheek with out even thinking. Her skin was so soft and the marks of the injures were all gone. His fingers brushed over her cherry red lips. His eye found there way there as well and thoughts of his mouth against her filled his mind. Sesshomaru bent over and placed a light kiss upon her lips.
Resizing what he was doing he got up and left. Sesshomaru went off to his room, went inside and closed the door be hind him. A smile was the only sine of emotion on his face.
