You were so scared
A grunt, was that him? He grunted again, he could hear it, but was it him? He did it again and felt it in his chest. He then heard a noise,
drip
What was that noise?
drip
It was water,
drip
It was still raining; he suddenly felt something cold on his head, what was that? He could not open his eyes or move. Was he dead?
He heard a sigh, a sigh? Then it hit him, the last thing he felt, the last person he heard,
"Mi..ko," He said her name, again cutting it in half.
"Sesshomaru," She said rather excited,
"I am dead" He stated.
"What? No" She replied, though he was not looking for an answer. He could feel her leaning over him. What was the cold thing on his head?
drip
Was it still raining outside?
"How long," He asked, still unable to open his eyes or move,
"What, how long?"
There was a pause "Oh, three days" She said getting what he was asking.
He was coming back to earth; he could smell the slayer and monk, nearby, but not to close, the kit too. One person he did not smell was his brother. He grunted.
"Try not to move" He heard her say, how was it that he still had blood in his veins? Then he smelt her worry. Was she worried or was that coming from him? No, it was her, what was she worried about? She was always so kind; it was going to get her killed one day.
The cold thing moved away from his head and then a moment later he felt it on his bare chest. Wait, bare chest. He then moved his arm, grabbing her wrist, even though he had yet to open his eyes. He felt her freeze; she was leaning over him. He opened eyes to her black hair covering the right side of his face. Her face was close for him to see. She was pale and at that moment, attractive. He eyes were set on his, as he tried to focus.
She was alone, why?
"My brother."
Her eyes went from worried, to sad, and hurt.
"He left" She whispered, her arm going limp in his hand. Her eyes were still open, yet they were not looking at him anymore. "He got mad, Kikyo showed up" There was a pause "She smelt your blood, I begged for him to help you and he got angry."
She stopped, he did not push her for more, though he was listening to every word.
"She called me a risk and said that I was foolish in helping you, Inuyasha asked what was wrong with me, he left, with her"
He could tell that was the end of what she was saying.
drip
Where were they? That damn dripping was getting on his nerves.
"We are in a cave" It was as if she read his mind,
"Kouga must have ran into Kikyo and Inuyasha; he came quick, he was who helped me with you."
She was still not looking at him, her eyes were set on his chest, yet he knew she was not looking at it, it was like she was playing everything back in her head with her eyes opened instead of closed. He noticed he was still holding her wrist; it was as if he had lost movement again.
"Sango and Miroku were too scared to touch you" She gave a short laugh "The great Lord Sesshomaru was not dying," She said blank,
That's what he thought as well,
"Before I knew it, Kouga was handing me a cup with his blood in it."
She then looked at him again, her eyes were still glazed "He said you were as good as dead and that at this point you would need blood, demon blood, or blood that held power."
He still let her talk,
"He said if you came to, not to tell you, you would get mad, but he gave me a little of his blood for you to drink, he told me you would need more."
It was true, at a point, near death, a dying demon would need blood, and he had lost much of his. It was bad because he had many open cuts and his body was having a hard time healing them all and keeping him awake and walking and breathing.
"Are you weak?" She asked leaning back; he let go of her wrist,
"Never," He said
She smirked half-ass, and then the smirk was gone "I meant your body."
"It is hard to move" It was almost impossible, his body did not have enough blood in it. He watched as she put her hair up in a high ponytail. He could not recall ever seeing her hair up. He then noticed her grab a knife, what was she planning?
"You plan on killing me, Miko?"
"What! No" She placed the knife at the palm of her other hand, and he then understood,
"Miko" his voice was dark and demanding.
"What?" She looked at him but still held the blade up to her; she asked him 'what' as if she was an innocent child.
"Do not," He told her, what was she thinking; she could kill herself that way, damn human body.
Kagome pulled the knife away "You need blood."
"Not your blood."
"Cause I'm human? I'm still a Miko you know."
"Not what I meant," He said cold, her being human had not crossed his mind.
"There are no other demons around, and I doubt any of them would be willing to give you their blood."
He looked at the cave entrance, yep still raining. Where had the slayer and monk gone?
"The monk and slayer?"
"They decided to travel back to Kaede's in search of help, even in this storm."
Why was that? They feared him did they not?
"They do not fear me?" His tone blank,
"You? you dying fears everyone."
He gave her an odd look,
"You always speak of how you will not die so easy, and we all know the power you hold, and to see you dying is scary, I was so afraid."
She had yet to ask him who did it, not like he would tell her, yes he would.
