Purest Hearts, Tainted Souls
Chapter Six:
"Inu-Yasha!"
The dog-eared half-demon watched annoyed as the dark haired human stomped up to him.
"Where is she?!" Kagome placed a hand on her hip in frustration, the other holding onto the little fox demon, "you killed her for those shards didn't you?!"
"Calm down Kagome, I didn't kill her," Inu-Yasha announced looking away from the angry girl.
"Good! Where is she?"
Inu-Yasha's face turned red with anger.
Miroku rubbed his sore shoulder, which had taken the most damage when he'd been thrown into the trees. "Sesshoumaru came and got her shortly after you went back to your time."
"And you two didn't get her back, you just left her with him?!" she asked horrified at the thought of what the tall human hating demon would do to the silver haired girl.
"Feh..." Inu-Yasha started walking off through the trees, leaving Miroku to answer.
"We didn't have much of a choice."
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"Well..."
~~*~~
***"You could be of much use to me..." Sesshoumaru said to the sleeping pixie as he trailed one of his sharp claws across the soft pail flesh of her cheek. He pressed his claw slightly harder against her skin, leaving a thin silvery-red line down her cheek. "But you cause more trouble," he traced his claw along her jaw line and then pulled it down until it rested on her neck. "Than you are worth.' He then wrapped his hand around her throat, and tightened his grip. He watched as the girl's silvery-blue eyes shot open, fear and confusion masked her features. She started to struggle.***
Jaken looked over the small fire, to the far off corner of the 'camp sight' to where the silver haired girl lay asleep on the cold hard ground. She was still wearing that horrendously odd looking kimono that looked almost identical to that of the one Inu-Yasha's human woman wore, her upper body was covered with the plane white bandages Sesshoumaru had wrapped her in. All of the sudden, she started thrashing out, at an invisible enemy with her one good arm, while kicking her legs.
Jaken looked up to Sesshoumaru, who just seemed to be ignoring the petite girl. He cast his eyes back upon the struggling pixie in amusement.
"Jaken,"
The small amphibian demon quickly averted his eyes back up to the tall white haired demon, "Y-yes Mi'lord?"
"Wake her."
"Of-of course Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken ran around the fire and towards the over grown pixie.
***Sesshoumaru clinched his fist tighter around her throat; her body was growing weak now, and her vision blurry. "I'm sorry Sesshoumaru-sama...what ever I did, I did not mean to-" She felt something hard hitting her side repeatedly, and it was rather annoying. She somehow had the strength to turn her head to the side, only to be greeted with the sight of the little fox demon head-butting her!***
Jaken poked the Staff of Heads at the girl's side repeatedly, in an attempt to wake the sleeping beauty. Usagi opened her eyes and shot up into a sitting position, soon after regretting it for the immense pain emitting from her left shoulder. She cast her eyes upon Sesshoumaru and raised her right hand to her neck.
'Only a dream?' Usagi let her hand glide from her neck over to her wounded shoulder, wincing at the slightest touch. She looked to it; the once pure white cloth was now stained silvery red as blood seeped through it. She was almost afraid to see what the wound itself looked like, but she was still curious...
She carefully tried to lift up the bloody cloth and peek under, but her head didn't seem to be able move to the angle it needed to be in to see, so she had to pull the cloth out a bit more...
"Leave it be," Usagi looked in the direction the cold, calm voice had come from, and found Sesshoumaru walking towards her. "Or it will not heal correctly."
Usagi found her heart beating faster as she watched him walking towards her.
**Run! He's going to kill you!**
No...Sesshoumaru-sama wouldn't do that!
**Dreams never lie, he will strangle you...**
He-he wouldn't......would he?
**You think he-**
Usagi was brought out of her inner argument when the tall demon kneeled down next to her, examining her shoulder.
"What are you d-doing?" she tried her hardest to make her voice calm and steady.
Sesshoumaru grabbed hold of the end of the cloth and started unraveling it from around her left arm.
"The bandage needs to be changed," Jaken said with a hint of annoyance in his tone of voice.
Usagi's face turned deep red, "I-I can do it!" she quickly informed as she pulled the cloth from Sesshoumaru's hand.
Then, without saying a word, the tall white haired demon stood and walked a few feet away, looking off into the distance. Usagi then also struggled to stand, and started heading off in the opposite direction of Sesshoumaru and Jaken.
"Where are you going!?" Jaken screeched shaking the Staff of Heads in the girls' direction. (Hehehe)
"I'm not going to change it in front of you!"
~~*~~
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. He got angry every time he thought about it!
"Is something wrong Lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked standing a few feet away from the great demon, "is it the pixie? Would you like me to do away with her for you Mi'lord?"
"Quiet Jaken."
"Y-Yes Mi'lord!"
Sesshoumaru thought back to the other day, the fight with Inu-Yasha. After he'd left Usagi with them, his mind kept wondering back to the girl. The petite sliver haired, silvery-blue eyed girl, what was so special about her? Why did she linger in his thoughts? He couldn't get her out of his head, her eyes, her hair, her smile, her voice, her figure. And he loathed her for it, despised her for it. He wanted to kill her for what she was doing to him, rip her to shreds and... that's why he went back. To kill her.
Jumping through the trees, following her magnificent scent, he'd had it planned out; don't listen to her words, her cries, don't even look at her. But when he arrived there, and she cried out to him, her voice filled with pain and fear, practically begging him to help her, to take the pain away, his mind and body then seemed to refuse to kill her, to give her anymore suffering.
But she still plagued his thoughts, she would eventually distract him, and perhaps someone would get the better of him for it, and something needed to be done about that. She couldn't follow him around any longer, something needed to happen, something needed to change.
That sweet familiar scent seemed to be getting stronger in his senses, he turned in the direction it came from the strongest, and watched as the silver haired girl made her way through the trees and up to him. The new clean white cloth seemed to be barely holding onto her, and if it hadn't been held up by the strap she had going over her shoulder, it would have fallen right to the cold forest floor.
Usagi looked up to him teary eyed, he guessed from too much movement of her wounded arm. "I couldn't do it..." she cast her eyes to the floor as if in shame, "I-it was too hard, I couldn't do it with just one hand."
Sesshoumaru looked down to the petite girl in slight amusement, before motioning her to sit down, so he could wrap the bandage correctly.
Usagi smiled to herself, 'no, he wouldn't kill me, I just know he wouldn't, he's not like that...'
~~*~~
"Sesshoumaru-sama, where are we headed now?" Usagi asked from behind him. They'd started on their way only a short while ago, even thought it was dark, Sesshoumaru had said something about leaving now if they wanted to get there while it was daylight. Thought the sun would rise soon, she could see it in the sky, it was getting brighter with each passing hour.
"To a village," he replied in his same cold and calm voice that he always spoke in.
"What are we going to a village for?"
"......"
Usagi went back to watching the ground for anything that might be threatening to trip her, deciding not to question the tall demons motives any further.
~~*~~
It was well into the afternoon by the time the three had reached the small village. There were stands set up all along the narrow dirt road, with people gathered everywhere, whether they were trying to buy something, sell something, or just trying to get somewhere.
Usagi noticed as seemingly everyone seemed to stop what they were doing, and stare at the three visitors. Some people screamed and ran into their small homes, while others fainted, and some just flat out stared. Usagi licked her lips nervously, and stepped closer to Sesshoumaru, until it seemed as if she were leaning into him.
Various voices broke out throughout the crowd of people.
"That's a demon!"
"So is the small ugly one!"
"What about the girl?"
"Look what she's wearing!"
"Well I've never seen hair or eyes like hers before!"
"You're right! She must be a demon too!"
By now Usagi was clinging onto Sesshoumaru, trying desperately to hide herself from all the eyes, but to no avail, the people had seemed to form a circle around the three. Sesshoumaru just glared at each one he looked to.
"Do you think they're dangerous?"
"Of course they're dangerous you fool! They're demons!"
"What do you think they want?"
"WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!"
"Someone get the Priestess!"
"Yes, good idea."
"Hurry, before they destroy the village!"
"Sesshoumaru-sama, what did we do?" Usagi asked confused looking up from where she still was holding tightly onto his sleeve, "why is everyone looking at us?"
Sesshoumaru leaned down towards the silver haired girl, close enough so only she could hear the words he spoke, "don't let anyone see the shards on you chest." With that he pushed the girl away from him.
Usagi landed on the hard dirt road facing away from Sesshoumaru, when she turned around, he was gone. "Sesshoumaru-sama?" she quickly looked around the area, searching for the tall white haired demon and his ugly little servant. They were no where in sight. "Sesshoumaru-sama!!???"
When she motioned to stand up, she was helped by a woman with long black hair tied behind her. 'She must be the Priestess..."
