One more word and you won't survive.

He found her.

The cup of blood and night flower at her very lips and all she had to say was one word, one.

The Dargon King had knelt to her request and gave her his blood without question and it pissed Sesshomaru off. Why would such a powerful creature such as this bend to a small human woman such as her?

How had she gotten up the mountain and in snow and cold with what little she wore?

The dragon behind her roared at him and he looked up "You will not interfere" He said cold, sending a chill up the girl's spine far wost then the snow had. Sesshomaru looked down at her. She was sitting on her knees, cup in hand ready to drink. But her eyes were on him and she didn't move an inch. Wise on her part.

Sesshomaru took out his sword and pointed it at her, her eyes followed.

"I do not know why you are here miko, seeking such dark power but you should not have come" His voice was oddly quiet in the dark cave they was in. He woundered if she noticed all the blood around her, this dragon ate humans for lunch.

"My brother indulged you, the wolf followed you and this beast bends to you. You will have no such effect on me, miko"

He walked around her, looking at her trying to decided, how would he kill her.

He wanted to make it painful for her, make it burn, make her scream.

Her voice would fill this cave and it would be pleasureful for him.

He saw her hand move slightly and his sword was at her throat "Say one-word miko and you will not survive"

She hesitated and for the first time, he felt fear from her, good.

Her lips looked dry, no doubt the blood would stain them.

The dragon behind her breathed fire that rushed out the opening of the cave and Kagome whispered the word and tossed back the blood in one gulp.

Blood dripped down her chin and Sesshomaru watched as the thick blood stained her white flesh.

He was going to stain more of her body, but this time it would be by her own blood.

"Fool"

The dragon breathed fire again and roared and curved around her, Sesshomaru pointed his sword at the dragons eye "You will not interfere, or I will kill you as well"

Kagome placed a shaky hand on the dragon and he lifted up.

Her eyes met with Sesshomaru's and he started to see the fire in her eyes as the dragons blood and the flowers poison took hold of her body.

She was going to be in hell in a moment and he was going to sit back and watch, then he would kill her. He would enjoy the pain, her screams.

Let her suffer.
