Chapter 11-
Her breathing labored as she laid there staring at the ceiling knowing this is what lack of sleep did to her. She sighed as her eyes closed momentarily wishing beyond everything she would open her eyes and be looking at her ceiling back at her family shrine. A raw demonic energy suddenly shadowed over her own pure aura. As she opened her eyes a cold hand clamped roughly over her mouth. She panicked then, struggling as she tried prying the offensive appendage away but failed as she felt herself being pulled from the bed forcefully up against a solid form which another arm held her securely in place trapping her arms. The room was dark as it had been a couple nights ago in the study but wasn't the same evil aura as before. "Milord will be pleased with your capture wench…" The voice was harsh and raspy as if hadn't been used in years.
She felt her feet leave the floor beneath her and she attempted to free herself by kicking her feet against the demon's shins. Kagome tried to scream but only muffled sounds made it through the icy hand which rested over her mouth . Both figures then stilled at hearing a knock on the door and the voice of a certain young dog demon. "Lady Kagome are you alright?" With what strength she could summon she thrashed about and screeched beneath the palm. The demon's grasped tightened further. "Kagome?" Sesshomaru's voice came again through the door. Shifting Kagome made her final effort as she swung her legs out reaching for night stand near the table and within a moment the small piece of furniture toppled over with a clunk. The door swung open illuminating the room as she heard Sesshomaru give a light growl, now knowing a creature was with her.
Kagome heard the string of curses she heard from the demonic presence behind her. His grip was soon absent from her body as she fell to her knees. She felt Sesshomaru move with speed chasing after the creature determined to strike it down with his poison claws. It dodged twice before The dog demon lunged forcefully predicting the other male's next move which caused him to clasp to the ground growling viciously in warning attempting to strike fear in the boy, but Sesshomaru only narrowed his eyes upon the filthy being before him. The intruder growled once more and quickly faded into the floor and reappeared behind the female in the room as he brought his claws up to her delicate throat threateningly. She found herself holding her breath once more as she was taken captive by the fiend lurking behind her. Sesshomaru hesitated as he caught Kagome's gaze momentarily before she closed her eyes.
Kagome was letting fear set in and she was trying not to panic now of all times but it wasn't working, she then began to feel a very hot substance forming in her chest and was building rapidly. She gasped suddenly and her eyes flew open revealing the pinkish purple tint of her gaze as her pure energy came in a rush over the entire room purifying the creature holding onto her. The scream was gurgling as she was free of the beast and the remaining purification spell retracted not harming Sesshomaru at all, he only felt the warm sensations of caresses across his figure. He could only gape at the woman before him as the last of the blinding light receded in the depths of her body and as her eyes closed her form began to fall to the floor but his speed allowed him to catch her with grace. He moved her over to the bed and placed her over the soft quilts and pillows, searching for injury on her.
Sesshomaru found none and stepped back , but as he did so Inutaisho seemed to appear, guards a few steps behind him. "Sesshomaru, what in the seven hells was that blast of purification? I could feel my skin tingling half way across the castle." The elder Lord's eyes fell upon the miko who was unconscious across the bed. "There was a demon, and Kagome's powers responded erratically." Sesshomaru stated in almost a whisper still eyeing the female before them. She was defiantly becoming more of an odd priestess to him every day. Inutaisho excused the guards who seemed glad to shuffle away from the unconscious miko incase her powers rose again as he pulled the blankets over the female whose breathing was shallow and heart beat steady but faint.
"You are lucky Sesshomaru , she has control over her abilities to know who is friend and foe. She could have killed you otherwise We must do something about this mystery demon who now wants the girl and wanted you dead. She is in danger in our own castle for these creatures have cloaking devices so thick not even demonic senses can pick them up until they decide to make themselves known." Sesshomaru heard his father sigh after finishing his statement. "Kagome is in one of the most guarded estates in all the lands and we can't even keep her from harm." There was a heavy pause. "I think she will be safer out of here and constantly moving out there. She said she wanted to her home area and she has other things to tend to. I think it is time she takes her leave and you go with her son."
Another silence stretched momentarily before he responded.
"Lady Kagome had told me she had no desire for me to assist her in getting home, she was determined it was complicated task to return to her home land. I don't think its wise to fight her own that one father." Sesshomaru glanced to his elder, his eyes finally leaving the female. "I do not wish her in harms way, but I feel I will fight to hell and back to try and convince her otherwise to allow me to travel with her." He heard his father sigh in frustration and reached a hand up to ruffle his son's hair. "For now we can leave Myru to guard her, being female she can remain with Kagome at all times without much discomfort from the girl." The young prince just nodded in slight agreement with hearing his father's words. Both male's then turned from the bed and strolled to the doorway, both their minds wondering and plotting on strategies for what they seemed to be up against.
Kagome sat up with a groan, as the morning light made its way through the folds of the tapestries which rested over her balcony's doors. Her hand moved to her head in grogginess as she felt the constant pounding of her heart beat within her temples. As she sat there trying to recall what happened to cause such pain to her senses , she soon remembered the demon and Sesshomaru but not what happened after. Giving a exhausted 'ugh' she slid her form from the bed and stood with slightly dizziness. She was still alive, she didn't remember Sesshomaru dying last night, so she hoped he was fine and not injured over her. "Morning Milady." The unfamiliar female voice broke her concentration on the task at hand of getting to the wash basin. Kagome's gaze met a young woman who long sky blue hair and deep pinkish eyes which watched her in amusement she assumed. "I'm Myru, your guard and assistant from now on." Kagome gave another mental 'ugh' at hearing this, making her life even more complicated now.
