Jaken had arrived rather swiftly, puffing and huffing as he waddled swiftly towards the door. He stopped beside me and bent over to catch his breath
"Wha- What do you re- re- require me for, Ses- Sesshomaru." He gasped out, I rolled my eyes.
"I need you to drive us somewhere." I said looking down on him. His head shot up.
"Us?" He questioned, looking up. he looked over to Kagome who was still trying to catch her breath as well, her face was slightly red and she had little beads of sweat that had formed on her brow, She smiled weakly as hers and the toads eyes met. Jaken eyes widened
"Does your father know about this?" He asked keeping his voice low. I glared at him and lifted my shirt, putting my bruised flesh into view Jaken looked at it in horror. I heard Kagome gasp and i jerked my shirt down.
"He knows." I growled walking out of the huge doors that seemed like a prison gate. I heard both of them following but allowed Jaken to take the lead. We walked around the house and Jaken stopped.
"Stay here, I will bring the car around." Jaken said, waddling away. I nodded and stood still.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked hesitantly
"Yes Kagome?" I asked, a little upset with her for putting herself in danger.
"Are you alright?" she asked, concern clear in her voice.
"I'll be fine." I said coldly. She huffed and moved to stand in-front of me, I looked at her, Her nose was scrunched up, and her eyes angry. I tried to keep my cold face on, but it fell as my face softened.
"I am fine Kagome." I said kindly, smiling at her. She smiled back, then a serious expression crossed her face.
"Sesshomaru, I wanna try something." She said looking and sounding determined, but I could feel her nervousness. I nodded hesitantly. She reached forward towards my shirt and took a deep breath as she pushed in up, exposing my ribs.
"Hold your shirt." She said. I obeyed and held onto it. She stared at my ribs. She slowly reached out to touch them, she took another deep breath and touched her finger tips to the skin of the bruised flesh. I barley felt her touch, she closed her eyes and tilted her head back her lips parted, she took deep even breaths until her heart rate slowed into a steady rhythm. I watched in amazement as her finger tips lit up in a soft pink, almost purple light, the light crawled onto my skin making the purple skin seem a little less horrific. I re-framed from hissing in pain when she grunted and pushed the pink light into my skin. I almost winced, I felt her concentration falter as my pain crept into my aura as fear, I took a deep breath and grunted as i felt my muscle being forced to relax and heal, my cracked rib slid and repaired its self, my purple skin turning back to its pale color. I gasped and smiled down at her, her eyes were still closed and she had sweat rolling down her face. I frowned.
"Kagome, I am healed, you may stop." I said, she didn't respond so i reached out and touched her shoulder, She jerked back, removing her hand roughly. Her powers were forced back into her self, making my body tingle in pain. She stared up at me with glazed over, wild scared eyes. She looked absolutely terrified. I felt myself shrink in, I hated the look she was giving me. It made me hate myself.
"Kagome?" I asked alarmed, her frame started shaking.
"Kagome!" I yelled grabbing her shoulders and shaking her. Her eyes shut tightly and opened back up, I stopped shaking her and looked down into her now clear but still frightened eyes.
"I- I- I'm sorry Sesshomaru." She whispered, she stepped back her eyes on the ground. I let my arms drop to my side.
"It's okay." I said giving a small, but kind smile, her eyes shifted up and she gave me a small smile. Jaken raced around the edge, Kagome gasped when I grabbed her and yanked her back. I growled as the car skidded to a halt right where Kagome had been. I walked forward and yanked the driver door open. I growled and stuck my head in, coming face to face with a surprised Jaken.
"You almost hit Kagome!." I yelled. Jacken whimpered.
"I am most sorry sir, it wasn't intentional!" He stammered I growled louder, I felt a small hand on my shoulder and turned to see a very tired looking Kagome smiling at me.
"Sesshomaru? I'm sure he didn't mean it, and I'm not hurt. I'm okay, I promise." She said pulling me away from Jaken and towards the back door. I sighed and nodded, climbing into the back seat. I heard Jaken sigh in relief and re-shut his door. Kagome dragged me into the back seat and leaned over me to close the door. When she sat back up I smiled at her and she returned the smile.
"Where are we going Sesshomaru-sama?" Jaken asked nervously, I turned to Kagome in question.
"Johnny Drive 2222." She answered quietly. My eyes widened.
"Are you serious?" I exclaimed. "That's on the worse side of town! Its nothing but gangs!"
"I know." She whispered
"Listen, if you don't want to bring me anymore, I understand." she told me with a sad, but knowing smile. I shook my head.
"No, I told you i'd bring you, and I'm going to." Jaken grunted and i glared at him through the mirror, I saw my angered golden eyes glowing with threat reflected in the mirror. He gulped and looked back at the road. I cleared my throat and turned to Kagome.
"So uh, can I ask what happened?" I asked hesitantly, eyeing her. She frowned and nodded in agreement
"I'll tell you what I can remember." She said, I looked at her confused. She sighed.
"Get comfy, this gonna be a long story." She said sitting back. I nodded and followed suit, sitting back.
