Kagome moved to the other end of the bed, sliding into it, next to him. She brushed his bangs out of his face before resting her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist as his arm moved around her shoulders. The couple slid into a dreamless sleep as a dark shadow peered unseen through the windows…

2 hours later

As the sun slipped down and the moon took over the sky, Kagome roused slowly from her slumber. "Mmngh…" She raised her head sleepily, propping herself up on one arm while rubbing her eyes with a fist. Yawning, she looked around the darkened room. 'How long have we been sleeping…?' she thought, sliding herself into a sitting position.

She glanced down at Sesshoumaru, a small smile gracing her lips. He looked so sweet in his sleep, at peace. She liked the way he looked. She spent a couple seconds gazing at his face before slowly sliding off the bed, fast enough to get it done, yet slow enough to not awake the sleeping lord.

She grabbed his top off the chair and wrapped it around herself before leaving the bed chambers, closing the door quietly behind her.

Infirmary

'Kitty…' Fushigi sat by her bedside, her furred hand in his. His eyes never left her bruised and battered face, tears constantly threatening to leak out. 'Why.. why did this happen?'

Tayoko stood in the corner, her arms around her waist. A frown plastered on her face as she looked at the unfortunate family, the kittens sitting at the foot of the bed, in various states of confusion and grief. Her ears perked as she heard the door to the infirmary open, "Yes?"

Kagome peeked through the door, her breath caught in her throat as she laid eyes on Kitty's body. "I.. was wondering if I could see Kitty, Tayoko-chan." She still stood out the door, her head just peeking through, as if afraid to step in.

Tayoko smiled gently, silently laughing at her tentative form. "Of course Kagome-chan, these doors are always open to you. I think that if Kitty-sama was awake, she would greatly appreciate your visit."

Kagome smiled, opening the door widely. "Arigato Tayoko-chan!" She walked in, straight towards the bed, placing her hand on Fushigi's shoulder once she reached him. "I'm so sorry Fushigi-sama.."

Fushigi jumped, slightly surprised. He didn't hear her coming up. He turned his head to look at her, "It's okay, Kagome."

Kagome sat down on the floor next to Fushigi, her hands placed neatly on her lap. Her legs folded gracefully under her, bowing slightly to the kittens and to Fushigi. She looked at Kitty momentarily before lowering her gaze to the ground, biting her lip. She had no idea what to say to Fushigi to help ease the pain, or to even make him feel better.

"I'm so sorry.." she repeated, her gaze still locked onto her hands. "I know you must be feeling so sad right now..I want you to know that Sesshoumaru-sama and I will always be here for you.."

Fushigi nodded slightly, acknowledging what she said. "It's okay." He repeated more firmly. His hand gripped Kitty's slightly tighter, his tail swishing on the ground with more intensity. Hearing her say how sorry she was wasn't helping any. It was just annoying him.

'Kitty was with her, Kagome should have taken care of her! Why wasn't Kagome taken and abused! Why was Kitty!' he thought in his head, his eyes becoming glazed in thought. He growled quietly, his fangs slightly barred. The kittens stared at their father curiously, wiping tears away. 'Her saying sorry doesn't make Kitty better. Her saying sorry doesn't mean anything.'

Unknown to Kagome or Tayoko, Fushigi was silently working himself up into a rage, blaming everything on Kagome. 'Kagome is probably the reason why the attacks happened! Kagome is at fault for everything!' he though, closing his eyes, biting his lip.

Kagome kept staring at the ground, Fushigi's temper still growing. "Fushigi..I'm so-"

Fushigi stood up adruptly, letting Kitty's hand fall back onto the bed with a thump. "QUIET!" he yelled, narrowing his eyes at the top of Kagome's ebony head.

Kagome jumped, his sudden burst of temper catching her off guard. She raised her head to look up at Fushigi's furious face, her teeth digging deeper into her lip, nearly breaking the tender tissue.

"QUIET. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT." He thundered, his unchecked rage rising higher and higher with every word. "DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW SORRY YOU ARE."

Tayoko raised her hand over her mouth as she gasped. Her eyes widened in surprise, her ears flat against her head. The first thought that came to mind was to protect the kittens. She gestured wildly to the frightened kittens, gathering by the door before ushering them out without a second glance.

Kagome raised herself up onto her feet, her hand in a fist on her chest. "Fush-"

"SILENCE." He roared, taking a menacing step towards her trembling frame. His body emitted an ominous aura, red bleeding into his eyes, his fangs and claws growing longer. "THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING. IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT MY MATE IS INJURED LIKE THIS."

Kagome jumped at every raise of volume, taking a step back into the wall, her body trembling in fear. "Fushigi, I don't understand! I didn't want this to happen!"

Fushigi ignored her, growing more and more furious as she kept talking. His hands balled at his sides, taking another step closer to her. He was now growling openly, his mouth curled back to reveal rows of glinting fangs. His clothes began to swirl around him as his aura grew, filling the air with an almost suffocating ambience.

Kagome closed her eyes, fear gripping every nerve of her body. She backed herself farther into the wall as she could go, her entire body shaking. She let out an ear piercing scream as Fushigi began to advance on her.
