The Foreign Exchange Student

Ch. 17 purity

A couple days went by without any major problems. Sesshomaru and Koga still fought slightly over Ashley but neither of them had actually brought claws or anything like that.

The group was sitting next to a campfire eating dinner. Ashley was sitting next to Koga and he had his arm around her to help keep her warm on the cold night. To their right was Sango and Miroku, Miroku was currently moving closer to Sango but another inch or so more and she would hit him back to where he had been sitting before, it had happened at least a dozen times. Across and Ashley and Koga Sesshomaru was sitting with Rin and Shippo playing in front of him, he was currently glaring daggers at Koga. Then came Inuyasha and Kagome. The two of them were closer then normal but not so close that you would think they were going out. The past few days had been great for the two of them. They had come to an un-spoken agreement that their relationship was ready to go to the next level but they were still pretty shy about it.

"Hey girls, we should go take a dip in the hot spring." Sango said after hitting Miroku away from her yet AGAIN.

Ashley and Kagome both nodded and stood up. The three of them walked over to the hot spring. It was about half a mile away from camp so they knew that they wouldn't be disturbed.

"So Sango, when are you gonna let Miroku grab your ass and not slap him for it?" Ashley asked with a smirk as they slip into the steamy water. Sango blushed and just shook her head. Ashley laughed and the three of them started talking for a while before Kagome realized that she forgot her towel.

"I'll go get it for you." Ashley said as she hopped out of the water and pulled on her clothes. She had left her wand in her bag so she had to walk back, but even without her wand she had some control of her magic so she wasn't worried about going by herself.

About half way back to the campsite Ashley stopped dead. Something was in the air, something not good. After a few seconds she realized what it was, lust. Somehow she could feel the lust from someone or something close by. She started to run the rest of the way to the campsite but got 3 steps in before she was grabbed around the middle and slammed up against a tree.

She tried to scream but her lips were covered by someone else's. Sesshomaru! She gathered her powers and forced a bolt of lightning like light straight into his stomach area, forcing him back a good 6 feet. She tried to run again but he wrapped his tail around her and forced her to the ground.

"What's wrong my little one?" Sesshomaru asked with a smirk as he lowered himself so he was only about 3 inches away from his face, his hard cock pressing into her thigh.

"You bastard get the fuck off of me!" Ashley yelled as she blasted him with more power. He flew back a few feet but held onto her so she flew with him. In 2 seconds flat she was pressed against the tree once again. He pressed his body against hers and tried to kiss her. She moved her face to the side and he ended up kissing her neck. He smirked and kept kissing her neck. She tried to scream but he put his hand over her mouth to keep the sound in.

"Now my little pet, you had better behave. All I have to do is take you completely and you will be officially mine. You will not be pure much longer"

Ashley started fighting him off. "You are so fucking lucky I don't have my wand!" She yelled as she stood still. She started concentrating on getting her wand to her, hoping that the summoning spell would work. Sesshomaru laughed as he noticed what she was doing and held up her wand, in two pieces.

"That's not going to help you at all."

Ashley was shocked, what was she supposed to do now? Sesshomaru, taking advantage of she shocked state, pulled her off the tree and put her on the ground, sinking 4 of his claws into her side as he did so.

Ashley screamed; it was a loud and painful scream that reached a couple miles in every direction. Sesshomaru used his other hand to start to pull her clothes off of her body. He didn't get much done before he was shot with another energy blast and this one was large enough to get him completely off of her and to the other side of the clearing they ended up in.

As soon as he landed Ashley concentrated on a binding spell. She focused all of her energy into keeping him completely still, but the wound in her side distracted her slightly and he was able to fight the spell, slowly advancing on her. She noticed that she would not be able to hold the spell very long so she stood up and ran in the direction of the campsite, praying that Koga had heard her scream and was on his way.

After about a dozen agonizing steps Ashley tripped, losing concentration on the spell, but being caught by Koga right before she hit the ground. Ashley clung to him, holding her side with one hand and cried. She was exhausted, she had managed to bind one of the most powerful demons in the world for a few minutes and it had drained her emotionally and physically.

Koga held her close to his chest as Inuyasha and Miroku both ran in front of them to face Sesshomaru. Koga sniffed and could smell the lust in the air, coming from Sesshomaru, and could guess what had happened. He sniffed again and noticed that there was a small spot on Ashley's neck that smelled like Sesshomaru. He growled, how dare Sesshomaru touch his future mate. He started to stand up and noticed that Ashley was unconscious.

That's when he smelled the blood. He put Ashley down on the ground and looked at her. He noticed puncture wounds in her side, they were made from claws. He growled again and stood up. He moved in front of where Inuyasha and Miroku were standing, not paying attention to what they had been saying to Sesshomaru, and his demonic aura grew. He was furious now, ready to take off the demons head.

"How dare you! she is MY mate you filthy dog!" Koga growled at the demon lord a second before he attacked and managed to slice through the demons arm. Sesshomaru had used a lot of his energy trying to break from the spell and didn't have much left to fight a demon, he could have handled the girl, but Koga was going to be difficult.

The two of them battled fiercely. Sesshomaru, being the underdog in this battle, was quickly covered in small cute and bruises inflicted by the angry wolf. The two of them stood in the middle of the clearing ready to strike again when Koga was distracted by noises of pain coming from the edge of the clearing. He looked over and saw that Ashley had woke up, and was still bleeding badly.

Koga quickly knocked the demon lord unconscious, which wasn't hard giving the situation, and ran over to where Ashley was laying. Miroku had bandaged her side but it wasn't helping much and she was still losing blood. Koga scooped her into his arms and held her tightly, trying to apply pressure on her wound so it would stop bleeding.

"Koga," Ashley said softly, so softly that he had to move closer to hear the rest of what she was saying. "Let me die, then take me through the well. Just trust me and do it!"

"WHAT!" Koga yelled. "I can't just let you die! Ashley I love you I'm not going to let you go!"

Ashley smiled slightly and winced, her side hurting even more. "Koga please, I think… I think it hit something and it hurts so much. Trust me ok? Take me through the well and it will be ok. Jake will know what to do, I'll be ok."

"How will you be ok if you are dead? Answer that!" Koga yelled, tears starting run down his cheeks.

Kagome and Sango walked into the clearing a second later. They had heard the scream but couldn't move as fast as the guys could, and had to pull clothes on a wet body. Kagome went over to where Ashley and Koga were, while Sango stood watch over Sesshomaru's unconscious form.

"Kagome," Ashley said a little louder, knowing she needed to talk louder to be heard. "Tell him to trust me, Jake will know what to do." Koga's grip tightened when Ashley passed out again, barely breathing.

"What does she want you to do Koga?" Kagome asked as she looked at the wounds on Ashley's side. 'Those are right next to her heart,' Kagome thought as she waited for the answer.

"She wanted me to let hid die and take her through the well after, but I don't know why." Koga said as he tried to pull himself together.

Quickly Kagome thought of the reason why. Jake was there, Jake being Sesshomaru, and he had his sword that could bring back the dead. Kagome looked up at Koga's face and said, "Koga you have to do it, let her go. She is in a lot of pain. You see this puncture right here?" She said as she pointed to one of the holes near the top. "It's right by her heart, I think he pierced her heart."

Koga looked shocked, he hadn't noticed it was that serious. "Are you sure she will be ok? If she does she won't come back! I need her!"

"She will come back! I know someone on the other side of the well who can make her come back!" Kagome yelled at him, trying to gain his trust. Koga looked at Kagome, he knew Kagome knew what she was talking about so he nodded and whispered. "Go on my love, I will get you back soon." As Ashley gave in and her heart stopped beating.

Koga sat there holding his dead love, as the tears started to stream down his cheeks again. "I have to take her through the well." He said as he got up and started running towards the well as fast as he could. The rest of the group helpless to catch up with his speed from the jewel shards he had in his legs.

Koga ran as fast as he could, holding Ashley as close to him as he could. In a matter of minutes he had crossed many miles to the well. He stood on the rim of the well and looked down. He knew that it took Kagome and Ashley to their world but he didn't know if it would work for him.

He took a deep breath and jumped in, he expected to feel the ground but instead was surrounded by warmth and calmness that he didn't know could happen. He had made it through and somehow it would be ok now.

When he got to the other side he jumped out of the well and looked around, Ashley's limp body still in his arms. They were inside of a small hut but he could hear someone outside of it. He walked up the stairs that were in front of him and opened the door.

When he stepped outside of the hut he saw that there was a woman standing they're talking to a man and a young boy. It only took a second for him to notice that scent, it was Sesshomaru! He started to growl and Sesshomaru turned around, a sword in his hand.

"Momma!" the little boy cried out as he held his mothers hand. "She's…dead!"

Koga wasn't paying attention to them though; his focus was completely on the Sesshomaru in front of him. He was confused; Ashley and Kagome had both said if he brought her to this side of the well things would be all right. The Sesshomaru in front of him smelled like Sesshomaru, but not at the same time. This Sesshomaru had a smell of grief and sorrow pouring off of him.

"Koga, I can help her, I'm Jake. The one she said would help." Sesshomaru said softly, trying not to upset the wolf any more then he already had in the past. Koga was shocked, he remembered Ashley saying that Jake would know what to do but didn't want to trust Sesshomaru with his mate again. "Just put her down for a minute Koga, what can it hurt? She's already gone."

Koga thought about it for a second before setting her down gently on the ground, but not moving away from her. He sat next to her and held her hand praying that whatever this 'Jake' had planned would work.

Jake walked over to them slowly, pulling out tensaiga on the way. He stopped about 2 feet away from them and concentrated. He could see the little demons on her still form trying to bind her soul to the afterlife. With one quick swipe of his sword he cut them all in half, releasing the bonds they had on Ashley and bringing her back from the afterlife.

Koga stared at her in disbelief as she slowly opened her eyes, wincing at the bright light of the sun, and smiled at him. He picked her p again and held her close to him, whispering how scared he was and that he didn't want to ever be without her again.

"I told you to trust me didn't I?" Ashley said with a small smile, Koga just answered her with a kiss.
