Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading everyone.

Chapter 1: Too much time on your hands?

It was the last day and summer break had just started. Kagome was walking home dragging her feet, slowly…she wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere. She didn't want to be anywhere at the moment, definitely not in the past…. she'd probably end up with an enormous gash on the side of her stomach like last time…. Which had been bleeding like hell. Naraku had conjured up countless demons to fight for that pathetic jewel again.

'I don't even want it anymore.' Sighing she sat on the bench, that was in the way towards her house. She remembered who had saved her life and who had fixed her wound and her face still burned at the thought….

'Inuyasha hadn't been there for me again.' She thought fingering the jewel, looking at it sparkling in the sunlight. Sure he had been standing in front of her, while she had been shooting arrows from behind him…. 'but then Kikyo appeared in the picture and smirked at me….she knew he'd save her…..'

Kikyo had pretended that she was in danger, and as always….Inuyasha had 'flown' off to go save her. Kagome didn't care, she knew it always happened like that…but alas...she had missed the demon that came at her from behind.

It had stabbed her on the side of her stomach, had she not moved quick enough to see it…..it would've stabbed her in the heart. Kagome eyes narrowed at the thought, she still hadn't forgiven Inuyasha for that. And instead of yelling at him….She had responded coldly and calmly, like Sesshomaru would've done.

"Yes Sesshomaru." She said aloud, looking up at the sky. They had been fighting together, battling Naraku….but she supposed he didn't want anyone hurt when in battle….right? 'He helped me because we were fighting as one.' She justified...she just wished she believed it……

-Flashback-

"Inuyasha help me!" Kikyo screamed, trying to dodge a demon. "I can't…." but even before she completed her sentence Inuyasha was running towards her. He never heard Kagome's screams from behind him…..

When the last demon and Naraku's puppet had been destroyed Inuyasha had turned to see his brother, Sesshomaru. He was holding Kagome's limp body in his arms. Inuyasha didn't yell at him to take his filthy hands off of her, but he looked guilty and his ears drooped at Sesshomaru's expression.

The wind was the only thing that seemed to move between them until Sesshomaru's icy comment. "I would've thought that you'd be more protective of what is…. or was yours…. little brother." With that he carried Kagome into the village.

He laid Kagome down on the ground of Kaede's hut and examined her injuries….it was a fatal injury…. 'She's going to die….I've had it with my dishonorable demon of a brother' he thought…. 'I know what I have to do' He wasn't going to let this happen again.

"Kagome? Are you awake?" he started softly.

"Eh? Sesshomaru?" she opened her blue eyes to look into his golden ones. "What are you….are you hurt?" She said trying to get up, only to be pushed back down by him.

"No, but you are. Now….you're hurt really bad, I need for you to cooperate with me…"

'Silly, still looking out for others….even when she's on the verge of death.' Well he might as well tell her. Why was she looking at him like that?

"You have a large gash by your stomach…" 'No use telling her she's fatally injured..' he started. He didn't need a panicky miko on his hands. "I'm going to try to heal you using Tenseiga …"

"You're going to help me Sesshomaru?" she asked him softly. It was such an innocent question…like thinking out loud. She took his hand and said "Sesshomaru?" Something clenched in his stomach, thinking, 'This is the exact way mother died….she had been holding my hand and had said my name.' "but I won't let you die Kagome…." He said.

"Errr…come again? I didn't hear you." She said.

"Now take your shirt off, so I can see your gash properly…" he started.

'...'

"WHAAAT?" she yelled at him, trying to smack him across the head. He sighed and took her wrist, before she swiped him again.

"Kagome….Fine, just lift your shirt half-way….so I can heal you….."

Kagome calmed down and lifted her shirt and he touched the sword to the side of her stomach and something came and went on his face….was it relief or love? or maybe she really was ill and

-End Flashback-

She sighed and thought, 'I didn't even get a chance to say thank you because I passed out and he took me in his arms….and left when I woke up.'

She touched the healed gash on her stomach, it still tingled a little. 'That is some sword…no better that is one hell of a Demon lord.' The only act of kindness he ever showed her group was and had always been directed towards her…..She slowly got up and proceeded towards her home, determined to thank him and errr…well….corner him if need be…..

After all it wasn't exactly easy to 'Trap' a demon...

Lady Nefertiti: The next chapter should be posted up soon….I need a coffee break first…..

Inuyasha: "Great! Let's go break some coffee! And I'll use my sword!"

Lady Nefertiti: '...'
