Alone
Chapter 2
Found, but to late
Sesshoumaru was walking, doing rounds of his land, lazily sifting through all the scents in the forest. His keen hearing picked up the sound of rushing water, a couple deer leaping in a meadow near by, and several fish in the aforementioned river, all the while listening to the young human girl prattle on about something or other.
--
Kagome slipped in and out of consciousness every few seconds, from lack of blood and the numbing cold of the rushing water stealing her last moments in this world.
I wonder what could have happened to them…I hope no one is hurt…
--
The demon lord strode purposely towards the river he had heard earlier. Something was amiss with the river, there was blood tainting its smell. Normally, he would have dismissed it, but the blood smelled sweet, a familiar smell, but not in blood. Rin continued to ramble on about whatever she had been talking about for five minutes now.
He turned sharply to Jaken. "Go and hide Rin. I will come back for you."
Rin looked like she was about to obey, but she saw the river, and immediately began pleading for him to let her fish.
"Please? Please Lord Sesshoumaru?" She looked up at him with her large brown eyes, her lips in a pout.
Sesshomaru sighed. Done in by the eyes once again. Surely by now he would have developed an immunity to it by now, but no. "Very well."
Rin eyes then lit up with glee and started to run towards the river, a yelling and chiding Jaken trailing behind.
The dog demon resisted the strong urge to roll his eyes. It wasn't dignified. But none the less, he walked after his young charge and makeshift babysitter.
He sped up his slow pace when he remembered how this whole debacle started in the first place. That strange smell…
"LORD SESSHOMARU!" Was the loud high pitched yell of Rin that shook him out of his reverie.
Worried for their safety, he ran to their sides, drawing Toukijin on the way. He stopped dead when he saw what Rin had yelled about.
--
Shapes? Who… or what, is that…
Kagome tried to move to get up but realised she couldn't move.
Silver hair? Inuyasha? But… who are those smaller shapes?
Then Kagome's eyes fluttered shut.
--
A human girl? Is that what I smelt? Sesshoumaru sniffed discreetly while sheathing his Toukijin. Wait! I know her scent! This is Inuyasha's wench! He heard sniffling, and shifted his gaze over to Rin, who was shaking the woman, who was obviously dead from blood loss.
"Wake up! Wake up lady! Please wake up!" Rin was crying now, worrying about a woman she had never met before.
"Rin." Rin's gaze shot up to her lord. "She is dead." His stoic mask never slipped, his voice cold and hard.
Rin looked at the woman in utter shock. "N-n-no! She can't be dead! She's just sleeping!" Rin looked terrified, remembering her family's deaths. She shook her harder now. "Come on lady! Please wake up! PLEASE!"
Suddenly with Rin's anguished cry, Tenseiga pulsed fiercely. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly when he looked at the heirloom sword. Tenseiga…? You wish me to heal the girl? Why…?
Whether or not he wanted to save Kagome was unknown, but He did know Rin would not be happy for some time to come, so he drew the sword with a blank expression. As he held the old blade in his hands before him, the world around the girls body grew dark, and the small nether demons were already chaining her body. Sesshoumaru raised his blade and swiftly cut down the monsters.
