A/N: Here is a new chapter for all of my reviewers.
Chapter Five: The Promise
"My Mate."
"What? Who the heck are you talking about, you lay no claim on any one here." Inuyasha was furious, what Sesshomaru was talking about. "Have you lost your mind Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru merely smirked at Inuyasha's accusations, "Inuyasha you had no clue did you?"
"Clue about what!"Inuyasha was ready to attack Sesshomaru when Kagome gentle placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Inuyasha please do not fight him." Kagome whispered it so lowly that even Inuyasha's sensitive ears could barely hear her.
"Kagome I have fought him before what makes this any different?" Inuyasha was confused no one was making any sense. "Kagome what do you know that I do not?" At the time he said this he had looked into Kagome's eyes and realized they were not the beautiful chocolate brown that he loved, but a deep sky blue. "Kagome what has happened to your eyes?"
Sesshomaru found this was the perfect time to explain something to his little brother. "Inuyasha, Kagome is transforming into that of her true-self, now that she has finally starting to gain her memories back. And now I will be taking what belongs to me." Sesshomaru started walking forward toward Kagome knowing she would not struggle, because of the safety of her friends.
Inuyasha then pushed Kagome behind him, "Like hell you will, you will not take Kagome away from me."
As Inuyasha took a fighting stance Miroku took a step forward in front of the youkai's descent. "My Lord, why now have you decided to take her, why not when you first saw her, or any other time after that?"
Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, but never took his eyes off of his mate. "Because monk at the time she reappeared and I found her she was with Inuyasha...and she had no recollection of who I was or who she was. Her power was also unstable. If I had tried to make her remember to early she might have destroyed herself and everything around her."
The group fell into a silence, unsure of the information given to them by Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was the first to make a move, quickly charging toward Sesshomaru, "You bastard, I will not let you take Kagome."
Sesshomaru gracefully side stepped Inuyasha's attack, and swiftly he drew toukijin. Quickly blocking another attack.. Seshomaru charged at the hanyou's back. "Die!" He yelled as he speed towards Inuyasha. Inu Yasha craned up his neck and with surprising speed, leapt away from Sesshomaru's fist. Kagome screamed in fright when Sesshomaru's sword sliced through Inuyasha's side. Sesshomaru noticed Kagome's fright for the hanyou and it angered him even more.
'Mine!' He thoughts were in union with his inu's. Hearing Inu Yasha's growling, Sesshomaru faced him as he withdrew Tokijin.
"You will die, halfbreed." The cold youkai sneered in that smooth, perfect voice. Sesshomaru sniffed and swiftly turned to stop an attack of Inu Yasha's claws.
With his eyes bleeding red Sesshomaru jumped behind Inuyasha and quickly stabbed him through the back. Smirking Sesshomaru pulled out his sword and leaving a bloody hanyou kneeling on the ground. He then heard her scream, he should of known she would react this way.
Kagome had watched tearfully as the two brothers fought, she had screamed at them to stop but they were oblivious to it all. That was when she saw the demise of her first love, she had screamed then seeing the blood splatter on to the ground. Unknowingly she quickly found herself kneeling by Inuyasha's side. He was still breathing, she sighed in relief, he would live.
"Miko, it is time we leave." Sesshomaru said knowing that he would not kill Inuyasha yet. For he had protected the miko while he could not.
"No." Kagome had said this quietly, but he could hear the defiance in her voice. The same voice that had comforted him so many years ago.
"Kagome unless you wish for me to kill Inuyasha and the rest of your friends I suggest you get up."
Sango and Miroku at the time had been standing away from the scene unsure of what to make of it. Sango then quickly spoke up after hearing that Sesshomaru was going to take Kagome away, "NO, Lord Sesshomaru you cannot take Kagome away from us, she is like family, I will fight you until I die if I must."
With a blink of an eye Sesshomaru had Sango pinned to tree, "Do you truly wish to die now ningen?" Sesshomaru could smell the fear radiating off of the ningen women, the smell was disgusting to his sensitive nose. That was when he felt the touch, that soft and gentle touch that he had craved for so many nights before. Slowly he turned his head to his mate, knowing he would be able to make her cooperate.
"Please, Lord Sesshomaru, leave them alone." Kagome had tears in her eyes as she spoke to him scared for her friend's life and what she might have to do in order for him to let her friends live.
"How do I know whether or not you will end up leaving again." Sesshomaru was eyeing Kagome critically then knowing he would gain the upper had.
"My Lord please, I promise...I promise that I will go with you. Just please let them go."
Sesshomaru knew because of her loving heart she would give up everything including her life for her friends...He knew this because she had done it before.
"How do I know that you will not run away," Sesshomaru eyed Kagome critically as she tugged at the arm choking her friend.
"I promise I won't leave just let them go...Please I beg you," Kagome slowly dropped to her knees it was torture to lose her first love and freedom all in one day.
Quickly dropping Sango to the ground he gently picked up the crying Kagome in his arms. "Very well my mate, it is time to take you back home."
