Chapter 4
-----Silverfire-----
He talked about the weather, what he would do when he got back to his home, he talked about Kikyou and Kagome, he once tried to bring up the topic of Naraku but got a ruff stroke from her gentle hands that promised he would be feeling more pain than he was in already if he brought Naraku up one more time.
So he went to the safe topic of battles and relived every single strike he had ever dealt.
When she was finished cleaning the wounds she had to burn out the infections and stitch up the worst or he would get big scars on his perfect skin.
She opened her mouth, Sesshomaru almost flinched, but when she spoke it was just one word that it seemed as though she had been born to say it "Sesshomaru" it tinkled in the air for a second it sounded like little children laughing and it sounded so inhuman that it was unearthly. He stared at her in awe that such a person who screeched so piercingly could make it sound so beautiful she looked as surprised and awe struck as him.
"Where did you learn my name?"
this time she touched his cheek to speak
"I don't know I just knew… did you just 'know' my name to?"
"Yes, I can't explain how but when I looked at you I knew who you were" she was silent for a moment as she thought hard on what he said then
"I need to burn the infection away it will hurt a lot but you must not go unconscious, promise you wont go unconscious while I'm healing you or until I say its safe for you to"
"I promise"
she looked hard into his eye
"You'd better keep that promise, now good luck and fight to stay conscious at all times" Then set to work.

----Sesshomaru--------
Now that she had started working on his wounds. The pain was so bad. Instead of just a small patch of skin being burnt it felt like his whole body was on fire.
It felt like years but it was only about 30 minutes when she finally stopped and the pain reseeded to the pain it was before.
She did something very surprising she bent down as though to inspect one of them, eyeing it closely then she kissed it. As her lips made contact the wounds the pain reseeded and the healed a little more she said in his mind
"I'm sorry" then went to the next one and did the same saying
"very sorry" she continued until they all were 'kissed better'.
I wonder what she's sorry about…maybe about hurting me…or about kissing me… probably both.
She turned away and suddenly sobbed. Crying silently over the black wood bowl as her tears mixed in with the water and his blood, the liquid in the bowl was glowing, then shone like the sun and still she cried the light became so bright and powerful he doubted the even the Shinto no tama could match its power. When she finally stopped crying she carefully placed it on ground sniffing loudly and turned to Sesshomaru asking in his mind without touching him
"Give me one of your fangs". Sesshomaru hesitated "Hurry up the magic won't last long"
he yanked one of his fangs and gave it to her silently, she then pulled out two of his hairs and two of her own and twisted them so that there were 2 cords of hair, one of hers and one of his, she then pulled out one of her own teeth she winched slightly as the root was pulled out. Blood gushed from the gap and she sucked it. She dropped the teeth in the bowl and ran away from it as it exploded.
As the smoke cleared she saw Sesshomaru was unconscious oops, forgot about him. with a guilty look coming into her eyes she sent
"Hey! What did I say about going unconscious!" she sent at him putting her hands on her hips
"This Sesshomaru, is not unconscious I'm merely protecting Rin from the blast" he rolled over revealing the poor dead girl. Her eye's widened when she realised that he wasn't unconscious and wished she had someone who cared about her that much. Then she remembered the teeth. She rushed over to the bowl which had split in half, she picked up the teeth and told Sesshomaru what they were for
"I cried for you… Tears of Compassion…. They are very rare. I-I couldn't waste them… so I made you and me a luck charm necklace it protects you, only you. Will you accept my gift?" Sesshomaru opened his mouth.
