Chapter 3: Death's Rising
Last Chapter...
"This Sesshomaru will assist you. You may choose either to live with my young human ward, Rin and myself in my castle or for me to bring back one member of your family. I can only bring back one as of right now. My Tensaiga seems to be very limited in its power here." He stated.
The boy looked up at him in awe. He never would have expected this majestic demon lord to help him any further than he already had.
"I want…"
"I want...I want my sister back...She's too young to die and I know she'll take good care of me" He said trying to fight back the tears.
"Very well. This Sesshomaru will grant your wish" He nodded and walked over to Kagome.
He pulled Tenseiga out of it's sheath and placed it on the girl's chest. He willed to sword to undo Inuyasha's deed and restore her life. Sesshomaru lifted up his arms, concentrating his energy and intentions into the blade, and opening his eyes wide he brought the sword straight down into the girl's heart. He pulled the sword out and watched her carefully, hoping that his efforts were not in vain. He heard Souta gasp behind him and the scent of fear and despair drifted towards his sensitive nose.
"Child...do not be afraid of what This Sesshomaru is doing...This sword is incapable of hurting any being." He said. He was pleased to find that the smell of the boy's fear was thinning.
Sesshomaru kneeled down and looked at her.
"Kagome. Wake up Kagome." He whispered trying to coax her back into conciousness. He watched her carefully. Her eyes fluttered and opened.
After a few moments of blinking and groaning Kagome finally looked up and Sesshomaru. Her eyes showed no fear or even suprise. 'She must not recognize me...or maybe she doesn't remember who I am. But then wouldn't she be afraid?' His thoughts were unusually worrisome for ones involving a human. He growled low in his throat at his frustrating thoughts but stopped suddenly when a hand touched his face. The girl was looking up at him in a slight daze, her hand was touching his face ever so lightly.
"Sesshomaru?" She asked. Her hand not leaving its place on his cheek. " Is..Is that you?"
Sesshomaru just stared...not sure what to do or even think. This was very unusual for him. He felt no anger or even annoyance towards her. He nodded his head ever so slightly to answer her question. She smiled which shocked the Inutaisho even more. It must have been showing on his face because she giggled softly, stopping abruptly and recoiling from the pain of her injuries.
He pouted slightly. This was a most unusual situation that he had found himself in. As he looked down at the girl he felt his heart skip a beat. She was quite breathtaking even in her current state of injury. He sighed silently to himself and looked away, wondering where the young child had run off to. He started as he felt her hand against his own. She was looking up at him with curious and sad eyes.
"Sesshomaru-sama...did you save my brother and I from Inuyasha?" Her expression showed her obvious pain. He nodded in answer.
"Kagome...You're hurt. It is imperative that you clean your wounds before they become infected." He whispered. She was now giving him an odd look. As if to say. ' Did he really just say that?'. He came just short of snortingat the irony of it all, but held back.
He watched her as she tried in vain to sit up on her own. Sighing in defeat he stood up from his kneeling position and held out his ever so elegant hand towards her. She just stared at it.
"Miko you would do well to take this Sesshomaru's hand. You are in bad condition and if you are not treated you will die a most terribly painful death. Is that what you wish for?" She paled and shook her head. Tentatively grasping his hand while she tried to stand again. But just as it was before, she was trying in vain. She let go of his hand and sat back down on the ground.
'Sesshomaru-sama, it is alright for now I suppose. I need to regain some physical energy back before I can stand. I am not tired at all but it would seem that my ody is too weak to move. I'm sorry...I'm becoming a burden again...I...I'm always..." she couldn't finish her sentence. She found herself on her knees, sobbing into her hands.
The confused Demon lord found himself frowning. This was something that he was not used to. He sat himself gently on the ground next to thecrying onna...it seemed a pity. It was obvious that she was powerful, he could feel her inner energy gently weaving through her aura. It was probably the only reason she was able to stay awake in her condition. He looked at her thoughtfully. She seemed...broken...so fragil. Yet he knew from experience that she was not someone to trifle with if you were not an extremely powerful being. He of course, being a demon, risked the chance of being purified but his strenght was formidable and he trusted that she would not attempt any harm on him. She was being so trusting of him. Even though he had tried to kill her so many other times before, she seemed to trust him as soon as he showed any kindness towards her. He was curious again.
"Why...Why do you trust me so easily Kagome?"
He asked. He found himself needing to know the answer.
"Because…." She looked up at him and through her tears he saw something new. Was it…love? " I know in my heart…" 'She knows what?' "that you are really…" 'o.o;' "…a wonderful person."
He stared at her. The tears were now dry upon her cheeks but they still shown. It stung him in an unknown part of his heart to see the glistening path on her face. 'This is ridiculous!' He watched her eyes, as she looked him over softly. They stopped on his left arm …erm…stub and her eyes became glazed with sadness.
"Sesshomaru your arm…I'm so sorry about what happened. I wish…" She paused and looked up. "Sesshomaru..I'm sorry to bother you but might you help me stand again?"
He was curious as to what she was thinking about but nodded once again. But this time instead of giving her his hand, he wrapped his right arm around her thin waist and lifted her into a standing position, holding her in place with his tail. ok ok so I know its not really a tail but it should be! So in this story it's a tail! >.> She winced a bit but took a step forward towards him. He looked on curiously. This time instead of just taking a step towards him, she reached out for him and embraced him. He growled at first, but as soon as her body tensed and the slightest scent of fear hit him he stopped and just stood there, completely dumbfounded.
She relaxed and leaned into his chest, breathing softly. She closed her eyes and her body began to glow a soft pink. He gasped. He felt his body tingling and a small fire seemed to light up in his shoulders. He growled again but this time she did not tense up and in his head he could feel it, not hear, but feel her voice. It was soothing him. Calming him. Telling him to trust her as she trusted him. He couldn't explain it, the strange feeling up the vibes in his mind. But his body seemed to react on instinct, responding to the voice. He became relaxed and the feeling did not hurt anymore, it felt strange, like someone was embracing his very soul. Then he did something that he had never done before. He purred, a soft low growl that vibrated softly through his throat.
The feeling soon began to fade and he could now feel the girl's embrace on his physical being again. During the strange surge of power, he had wrapped his arms around her, completing the embrace. He opened his eyes and looked down at Kagome. 'What…what in the hell was that?" She looked up at him weekly and smiled her sad smile.
"Sesshomaru, you were purring…that was so cute" She whispered.
Sesshomaru glared. " I did no such things! This Sesshomaru does not purr!"
She giggled softly and smiled, and for a moment the lingering sadness had faded, and a true smile had been uncovered.

Wolf Jade - I hate Inuyahsa, he is one of the stupdiest demons i've ever seen/read about for the manga. jeez. I bet that souta is going to choose Kagome, cuz if he didn't then there wouldn't be a story. wait is she still alive? or is she dead? I loved this chapter, Grr, Sesshomaru can be so heartless and souless at times. At least he was ncie enough to suggest that Souta live with him and Rin. please update soon.
Well like I said, I don't actually hate Inuyasha, but I think that the Inuyasha x kagome fics are just stupid and non-original. Though I have read a few that I thought were quite good and I enjoyed very much. I think there is at least one in my favorite stories list. I hope you liked this chapter as much as the last one if not more. Personally I like this one the best so far I seriously just like pulled it out of my ass as I was typing. Using nothing but a thesaurus ;; lol well there ya have it.
TheWildWind - Exciting! Will Souta go with Sesshoumaru or a family member... please update quickly:):)!

I hope you like ramen, because i love it with a passion, remind you of anyone? Oh, and i think you kinda made inu a bit cruel, but it is all in it for the story! i hope.
