Chapter 14

Kagome walked in the door as Aki opened her eyes. Kagome didn't notice.

"Hi Kagome." Aki said. Kagome jumped at the sound of her voice.

"Oh hey, I'm here to check up on you." Kagome said. Aki didn't answer, she was clutching the sheets in pain. "God damn!" Aki growled. "Everytime I think I'm better I get racked with pain." Aki said as her nails dug into her skin, she was talking through gritted teeth.

"Calm down, it's best to keep calm." Kagome said. Aki relaxed. She was sweating from the effort of trying not to cry out in pain. Sesshoumaru would come running with a worried look on his face. Then something occured to Aki.

"Where's Kit?" Aki asked suddenly.

"She's in a room Sesshoumaru gave to her." Kagome said.

"Ok, I thought for sure that Kit died." Aki said, she was to weak to tell that Kagome was lying.

"Uh...I think I'll go now." Kagome said, she walked out the door and left Aki and Kouga alone.

"You sure look happy." Aki said sarcasticlly.

"Shut up, Aki, I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm." Kouga growled.

"Then get out." Aki said. Kouga looked up. "I don't know what your problem is but there's a reason you came here." Aki said. "So if you're not then leave..." Aki said. "Why don't you get up off your lazy wolf ass and go, or are you going to stay here and talk, I'd prefer the second one." Kouga couldn't help but smile. Aki always had a way of cheering poeple up.

"You must be hungry, I'll get you someething to eat." Kouga said.

"No, I can't eat, my intestines are too damaged." Aki said.

"You know you have a point there." Kouga said. "Get some rest, we don't know what we'd do with out you!" Kouga said sarcasticly. Aki smiled and closed her eyes. Then she thought of something from when this war first started, Sesshoumaru had been given two jewelery boxes. I wonder what was in those boxes... Aki thought.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZSesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru walked down the hall to the kitchen, he was hungry and knew the others must be too, he looked around to see what he could make, then he noticed a giant pot of stew. That'll work. Sesshoumaru thought, he grabbed a bowl for InuYasha, Sango, Kagome, Miroku, Zala, Kouga, Rin, and himself.

"Want some 'elp?" Zala asked from the door way.

"Yes." Sesshoumaru said.

"You know, you should really propose to her soon." Zala said suddenly. Sesshoumaru ignored her. She poured the soup and Sesshoumaru held them, after they all were filled Zala took one half and Sesshoumaru took the other. "S'e's bound to start t'inking about t'em while s'e lies in that bed for a mont'!" Zala said. Sesshoumaru looked at her.

"I'll take that chance." he said.

"Well 'ave fun," Zala said, she carried a bowl of soup to Rin and delivered the rest to people Sesshoumaru hadn't. After Sesshoumaru had eaten he walked into his room to see Aki.

"You know it's awfully boring in here." Aki said.

"You'll find somethng to do." Sesshoumaru said as he sat down in a chair.

"Yeah, like think." Aki said. "What was in those two boxes Zala gave you?" Aki asked.

"My mother and grandmother's most prized posessions." Sesshoumaru answered.

"I wanna see." Aki said, she was still looking out the window.

"No, they're going to stay where they are." Sesshoumaru said, Aki turned her head to look at him.

"Then I'm going to keep buggin' you about it until you show me so be prepared!" Aki said. Sesshoumaru smiled. "So what's been going on?" Aki asked.

"Nothing, just been looking to see if the birds are going to attack anytime soon." he answered. Avoidign one of the major worries he had been thinking of since Kit had come into the castle.

"Well I've seen them move some, like getting into formation, drilling and all that." Aki said. Sesshoumaru nodded. Maybe I should ask her soon. Sesshoumaru thought. "So what's in the boxes?" Aki asked.

"Stuff." Sesshoumaru answered.

"What's in the boxes?" Aki asked again.

"Stuff.

"What's in the box?"

"Stuff that's going to stay a secret."

"What's in one of the boxes?"

"Something." Aki glared at him.

"JUST TELL ME!" Aki growled.

"Nope." Sesshoumaru said.

"Fine, I wont talk to you." Aki turned her head to look out the window. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes.

"If you don't talk to me you're NEVER going to find out what's in the boxes." Sesshoumaru said. Aki didn't answer. Sesshoumaru grabbed a book he had put there before and started reading. Aki turned to look at him.

"What's in the boxes?" Aki asked, she turned around so it looked like she hadn't moved. Sesshoumaru looked at her.

"Nothing that you need to know about." Sesshoumaru said.

"I didn't say anything." Aki said.

"Fine you really wanna know?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes!"

"Too bad." Sesshoumaru said, Aki glared at him and grabbed a vase by his bed, he seemed to have a lot of them. She threw it at him and he caught it. "Don't throw things." he said.

"Then show me what's in those boxes!" Aki growled.

"Let me think...YeNO!" Sesshoumaru said. Aki reached for another vase but they were all out of her reach. She sighed and went back to looking out the window. How can I get him to show me what's in those boxes! Aki thought. Sesshoumaru knew she was up to something, but didn't say anything. Maybe if I annoy him enough he'll show me. Aki kept looking out the window.

"Grrrrrr. This is so boring!" Aki growled to herself. A bell rang and Aki's ear twitched. "What's that?" Aki asked.

"Stay here, don't move." Sesshoumaru said as he dashed to the door.

"Like I could do anything else!" Aki growled after him. Aki pushed herself up into the sitting position. "That's better!" Aki said, she could now feel her legs. When I get out out this bed I'm going to kill something! she thought to herself. She still wanted to know what the bell was. Sesshoumaru came back in the room. "What's going on?" Aki asked.

"I can't tell you." Sesshoumaru said. Aki rolled her eyes.

"Anything else you can't tell me?"

"Nope." he said.

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TRY TO PROTECT HER!" Kala's voice yelled. Aki was confused so she listened some more.

"Because, I was injured and didn't see them until it was to late!" Kouga yelled. Then it clicked. Aki jumped out of bed and was running to the door before Sesshoumaru knew what was happening. Just before she got to the door Sesshoumaru grabbed her waist.

"Kit's hurt isn't she?" Aki asked.

"Yes, she should be fine ina few days though." Sesshoumaru answered, Kit's family was still yelling at Kouga and he was still yelling back.

"Damn! It's all my fault!" Aki said.

"No it's not."

"Yes it is! If only I had known that demon was there I could have saved her. Damn this war!" Aki growled. "If any of those damn birds get near her they die." Aki said. Sesshoumaru smelled salt and noticed that tears were falling to the floor.

"You didn't know they were there and I didn't either, I was even facing to where they were, I should have warned you." Sesshoumaru said.

"Damn you! If my daughter dies you die two!" Kala growled.

"Make it stop." Aki said. "Tell them to leave." Sesshoumaru picked her up and put her back in bed. Then he walked out to the hall.

"Enough." he said. "If you're going to fight do it somewhere else."

"Why?" Kraitan asked.

"There's an injured demon in this room and she wasn't supposed to know about Kit getting hurt." Sesshoumaru said.

"Are you trying to keep my daughters injuries a secret?" Kala asked.

"From her yes, because she knew this was coming and she doesn't need this stress." Sesshoumaru said. Aki heard what was going on and got out of bed. She slowly walked to the open door.

"Go away." Aki said, she was leaning up against the wall for support.

"No." Kraitan said.

"I said go. I don't need this! I knew this was going to happen and I tried to stop it but I couldn't! It's not Kouga's fault! If it's anyone's it's mine." Aki said, tears formed in her eyes and she slowly started to fall to the floor.

"Just because you're injured doesn't mean you couldn't save her!" Kraitan growled.

"God dammit! If I had been able to get out of this fucking bed I would have taken those gad dammed arrows for her. So shut the fuck up and leave! You're not going to make it any better for anyone here!" Aki growled. Sesshoumaru could tell she was straining herself, both phyisically, mentally, and emotionally.

"Are you telling us that we can't see her!" Karo asked.

"I can't even see her! So god dammit leave!" Aki growled. Kala and Kraitan knew she had a point. "What are you still doing here! LEAVE!" Aki screamed, she fell to the floor crying. No one had ever seen Aki cry before, sure they'd seen her pissed off, but she never cried. Sesshoumaru walked over and picked Aki up bridge style.

"I suggest you take her advice." Sesshoumaru said. He walked into his room and laid Aki down, she wasn't crying anymore.

"W-was that Aki?" Kouga asked.
