Chapter 3:Standing Courage

Sesshomaru with his expressionless face stood there as he watched Kagome just walking away from him. Shocked that Kagome had not once quiver at the sight of him let alone his quiver most would have run at a mare glimpse of him - Why does she not fear me? - curious as to why she didn't but was just to shocked to do anything about it.

Kagome continued to walk away from the lord of the western lands still as confident as ever. Even surprising herself by her own strength of confidence just continued to walk absentmindedly along the rode.

Stopping suddenly as she noticed a man laying on the side of the rode and seemed to be extensively injured. Kagome's helpful side kicking in at seeing the poor sole. Kagome carefully lead him to a near by river to treat his wounds.

Being very careful with the mans wounds began to bandage them after treating them with herbs Kagome had found. Getting the man a cup put in a few crushed herbs and tilting his head up to open his throat a bit more to make it easier for her to feed him the healing remedy.

Not having to wait to long the man began to stir and open his eyes in confusion as though asking him self why he had not died yet. Wincing at the pain that shot though his body groaning and moving slightly.

Kagome hearing the man rustling and moving she went to his side to find out how he was feeling. Expectantly the man asked "Were am I?" slowly siting up rubbing a sore on his head and focusing his vision on the young girl that had just saved him from bleeding to death on the side of the rode.

Kagome about to answer his question was stopped as the man asked yet again another question and who are you?"Before he could ask another question Kagome answered "I'm not sure where we are but my name is Kagome what's your?"

The man raised his head as if having to think hard about the question of his name then remembered " my name is Toboku... How may I ask did we get here?" looking curiously about his surroundings then looking back at Kagome

"I carried you to the river bank so It would be easier for me to treat your wounds" Kagome answered.

Looking a little shocked Toboku spoke "Well wow you rally carried me you must be quite strong" still looking shocked "Thank you for your kindness but may I ask why?" Toboku's look turning from shock to curiosity.

"Because I could" replied Kagome giving Toboku ad kind smile but faded when she saw Toboku's face turn form grateful to fearful and turned around to find out what had freighted him so badly only to find Sesshomaru.

Again her courage kicking into over drive she stood up to face Sesshomaru to tell him off "Why don't you patrol you lands that doesn't include me in the area Sesshomaru!" "Please just go away I do not have time to fight you right now so go away!" growling slightly.

Both Toboku and Sesshomaru surprised at her courage and confidence. Kagome only looked sternly at Sesshomaru and waiting for his reply or action to her bold speech.
