Chapter 3: Beast Awaken

'BAMPP!'

Suddenly I found myself on the floor with a heavy weight on me. When my eyes open to survey the situation, I found an Inu-Youkai female gasping for air on top of me. However, my attention averted to the drops of blood that were running from her head, nose and dripping down onto my face.

"Help! He's after me!" She cried, her eyes pinched shut as her head landed on my chest.

"Hey are you okay?" I repeated to get her to respond somehow, but after a few failed attempts itwasn't hard to tell thatshedidn't have plans to wake up anytime soon.

I gathered my strength and managed to get her off of me and gently onto the grass. It was then that i began to take note of her appearance. She was wrapped in a beautiful white kimono that was decorated with abstracts of the sun, her white hair reflected the sunshine giving it a shine that I had never seen before, and her face had a sun in the center of her was when my attention was taken to the blood dripping from the edge of her silky hair down her forehead.

"I wonder what happened to you" I whispered slowly, reaching into my kimono and pulling out a thread of cloth to clean the blood off of her.

…..

I stayed next to her waiting for her to wake up until the sky started to resemble a hue closer to must be getting late. Rin will be worried if I don't return soon... but I can't just leave her here. What should I do? It's not like Sesshomaru is "Mr. Sunshine" when it comes to helping others.

I was pulled out of my reveriewhen I felt movement next to me. I turned to see the female Inu finally showing signs of life as she attempted to sit up. I instinctively moved to put my hand behind her back to help her sit up, but she moved away looking ready run off if I made the wrong move.

"Hello, my names Kagome, are you okay?" I whispered gently, as not to frighten her.

"How long have I been unconscious?" she asked, completely ignoring my concern for her.

"About a few hours" I answered.

"I can't stay here… I must leave before he gets here" She said quickly standing up, but before

she could run away I grabbed her arm causing her to look me in the eyes.

"Wait! What's wrong? Who's after you?" I asked concerned, however, before she could answer a shiver ran down my spine as I felt a new aurain the woods. I turned in the direction that I felt the new energy, and I saw the wind take the shape of a crescent to then be launched in our direction. Instantly, the female demon pushed me back causing us both to move in opposite direction barely missing the attack that had been sent towards us.

I lookedtowards the forest trying to see who our attacker was, when a figure started to appear from behind the trees. The silhouette started to take the shape of a woman and soon it wasn't hard to notice all her features. She was wearing a purple and white kimono, had feathers sticking out of her black hair, and was holding a fan while she looked at us with her piercing red eyes.

"How interesting that I would find you dog demon with our sweet Kagome of all people" she mumbled.

"Wait, you know my name, then you must know who I am?" I asked with interest.

"Grrrrrr, leave her alone Kagura. I'm the one you want" the Inu demon screamed out getting ready to fight.

"But that's where you're wrong Himiko, my master will be more than happy to know that Kagome is alive and will want her back. You should be happy, that means that my master has no need for you or your little bastard" she smirked as she said the last part, while her eyes promised death to come.

She waved her fan making the wind once again move to her heart's desire causing a new crescent to form, but this time with more energy; more light; and more power. She then moved her fan once more causing the crescent to move swiftly across the field towards Himiko crushing anything that stood in its path.

I watched in horror as Himiko was slashed across her chest andflung back against a tree. I stared at her unmoving body and was relieved when I could still hear her beating heart as everything in the clearing seemed to have gone silent.

Kagura began to raise her hand once more to finish her off, but I was determined not to let that happen. I ran across the field, jumped towards her, and flung my claws in her direction with intentions to kill.

She was surprised and jumped away forgetting about Himiko, but not before my claws scratched her face. Now we stood facing each other.

She knows who I am! If I hurt her she won't tell me what she knows. Uhh, but I can't trust her.

She is obviously not one of the good guys.

I ran towards her and engaged her in battle once more. After fighting for a while I noticed our fight was beginning to take its toll on her, if the drops of sweat that dripped down her face were any indication. I could sense her starting to panic because in between clashes she surveyed the area looking for a way out.

She raised her fan and swung it across her body, hurling a crescent towards Himiko.

"NO!" I screamed as I ran in front of Himiko and slashed at the crescent, but the aftermath of the clash sent me flying backwards. I expected to hit the hard ground or a tree but before I landed arms snaked around my waist and cached me. Suddenly an aura that I had come to recognize was released into the field, it, literally, sent shivers down my body.

I looked up to stare into those golden eyes that I had come to known, Sesshomaru.

"Half-breed you seem to have a knack for getting yourself into danger, first the lake and now this" he said as he stood up hugging me to his body albeit probably unintentionally. I stared into his eyes, getting loss into the golden depths, as he stared back at me. My hands rested on his chest, secretly reveling in the feel of his hard muscles.

"I hate to interrupt you lovebirds but I must go. Kagome, we will meet again" Kagura said as she took a feather from her hair and flew away on it as it transformed into a giant version of itself.

I was about to run after her but the pained sounds that came from Himiko stopped my pursuit. I turned kneeling down next to her.

"It's alright Himiko, you will be okay" I said to her, laying her head against my legs.

"He wanted my pup, I h..had to run" she gasped staring to the sky like she was ready to go to it.

"He? Don't you mean she?Kagura?" I was confused.

"No...not her…" she gasped out, starting to lose consciousness.

"Come on Himiko stay awake, fight to stay awake!" I urged her "Lord Sesshomaru, please help her!" I pleaded, hoping that by addressing him properly it will incline him to help.

I watched, as he moved to sit down by her before moved away the instant she sliced him on his leg drawing blood into her hands.

"Himiko what…" before I could finish, I felt her claws digging into my arm drawing more blood into the already bloody hand. She pulled away the necklace, she once had around her neck, and into the same hand.

"I have nothing left. I'm sorry" She said as she held her bloodied hand to her stomach and light started to appear.

The light ascended slowly and suddenly flung into my stomach knocking the breath out of me. I slowly fell back onto the ground as pain shot through my entire body. Why does it hurt so much? Sesshomaru help. That was my last thought before I fell into unconsciousness.

…

I walked across the most beautiful field I had ever seen in my life.

Where am I?

"You are in your mind" came a purr from behind me. I turned around to see a large black dog demon staring at me.

"Who are you?" I asked worried.

"I am you, just as you are me. I am your beast" the beast said as it stretched and lay down on the ground.

"WHAT how do I have a beast? I didn't have one before, I don't understand" I mumble to myself.

"No, I know you...urrhh… I can't remember, but I have always known you" the beast purred in pain almost as if it hurt just to think of the past.

"Kagome" came a sweet voice.

"Himiko? What are you doing here?" I asked shocked.

"There's no time to explain. All you need to know is to please beware of the one called Naraku. That horrid demon brutally murdered my mate and desperately sought out my pup for vengeance. Do not let him win!" She spoke quickly as her voice faded.

"WAIT! Where's your pup?" I asked her, deeply concerned that this Naraku character might attempt to harm her pup; however, I was not prepared for the next words she whispered,

"In you"

…..

"Wait!" I screamed as I shot up from the ground to come inches away from Sesshomaru's face.

I moved my hand to my stomach to feel the new aura that was beating there, it felt like my mixed with something. What could it be? And then it came to me "Sesshomaru"
