AN: Damn you sweetest angel with your puppy eyes! I can't resist!

sweetest angel- this chapter is for you

Chapter 8

Sesshomaru stood by the door waiting until Kagome had entered to slide it shut. Kagome winced as she heard the door click closed. She could feel the rage rolling off Sesshomaru in waves.

"You will attempt to explain to this Sesshomaru how you have allowed this to happen. There is now a lethal threat to the Western Lands running wild. My household is now in disgrace and all the Lords know of my weakened state. If I make it through the night I will see you suffer for this."

Mei Mei narrowed his eyes and softly growled at Sesshomaru for the implications being made.

Sesshomaru's eyes flashed towards Mei Mei, "And by all means do explain why that creature still sits on your shoulder!"

Kagome shuddered before slowly beginning, "It's not as bad as it looks, he didn't actually get all your youki…"

Sesshomaru's rage reached a new height, "You were trying to keep THIS Sesshomaru's youki?"

At this Kagome felt her own anger begin to rise, "No I did not try to keep it for myself! Do you think I want to be a demon?"

Once glance at Sesshomaru showed that he did in fact believe that she wanted to remain demon. Kagome had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes at his 'greater than thou' attitude.

"Look Sesshomaru, demons are not accepted in my homelands. While I look like this I would be unable to return home."

Sesshomaru still looked disbelieving but he remained silent so Kagome continued, "Something must have happened when you transferred your youki to me. When I reached for it to send back to you it wasn't there. Somehow it had completely mixed with my own and with the limited time I had I couldn't separate much out. I actually only sent about 20 of your full power. I still have the rest…"

Sesshomaru searched her carefully for any signs of lies but was unable to detect any.

"Very well girl. You will finish what you started now and return me the youki that you still possess. Do not think however, that this will go unpunished."

Kagome and Sesshomaru sat in meditation facing each other. Their knees were only a hairs breadth apart and they were holding hands, Sesshomaru was taking no chances this time.

Kagome concentrated on the swirling powers. Slowly, with Mei Mei's help, she was able to separate her pink aura from Sesshomaru's darker blue. As it was separated out, she sent the youki through her hands straight into Sesshomaru.

After a full hour she was finally left with only her pink and a strange purplish energy. Try as she might she was unable to separate this into either main color. She mentally turned to guidance from Mei Mei but only received confusion from him; he was as lost as she was. With a mental shrug she just divided the energy and sent half of it on to Sesshomaru.

Kagome was currently trying to lay in Sesshomaru's bed and sleep. She was failing miserably.

Sesshomaru had announced that an assassin would almost definitely be sent to take care of him while he slept. Kagome had just wanted to announce about him having his powers but Sesshomaru wanted to ferret out any who were currently plotting against him. He had also announced that Kagome's punishment would be to sleep in his bed that night. At that point he had smirked and said, "In the morning I will find the body of an opponent, or your own dead body. Either way it saves me trouble."

Kagome's eyes narrowed in remembrance. 'He is just a sadistic asshole.'

Mei Mei had offered to watch over her while she slept but she was still unable to keep her eyes closed for more than a minute. Every slight creaking noise in the castle had her jumping straight up.

Finally Kagome just settled for sitting straight up in bed with wide eyes darting every which direction.

This was going to be a long night.
