Saved by Sesshomaru

Ch.6

Rosie hater: Here's the next chapter.

Sesshy arrives at the castle in the afternoon. "What the hell is she trying to do, burn everything to the ground?" –hold on a sec, since when could she control fire?You idiot! She told you that she was a pyro a long time ago! Oh yeah, she did tell me a few years ago. Must've forgot.- "Looks like they've moved to out side the castle. Jakken."

"Yes my Lord?"

"Take Ah-un to the stables with Rin. Stay there until I come get you."

"Yes my Lord. Let's go Rin." They walk off.

"Now to find Kagome and Lord Ryu…" He starts walking around.

"You jackass!" Kagome screams, clutching her arm which has a deep slice in it.

-Well I know where they are now.- Sesshy heads to the practice fields. There he finds Kagome and Lord Ryu, both still battling it out. Kagome has a dep gash on her left ankle, right side, the length of her left arm, the width of her right arm and the left side of her neck. Lord Ryu has a few deep slices adorning each arm, burn marks on his hands so severe that it's as if his hands are transparent and a hole in his shoulder where an arrow pierced him. –She didn't do too bad a job.- "Since when did you learn a sword Kagome?" Both stop to see him standing there watching.

"Sesshy, where's Rin?"

"Safe."

"Lord Sesshomaru, your Lady has insulted me. It is my right to punish her as I see fit."

"No it is not, she is not an object. She is MY Lady. If she has offended you then I am the one who does something about it. I've known Kagome for a long time and have yet to see her make a bad decision. So you must've done something to piss her off. She's quite upset."

"I didn't do anything but talk to her." He walks up to Sesshy, very calm. He gets a foot away and takes out a hidden dagger to stab Sesshy with but something, or someone, gets in the way. "What the?" Kagome is standing right in front of Sesshy, Ryu's dagger going right through her hand. "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WOMAN? ARE YOU STARK RAVING MAD? WHAT THE HELL COULD POSSIBLY POSSESS YOU TO DO THAT?" He yanks his dagger back. Both demons realize that Ryu's dagger not only went through Kagome's hand, but also stabbed her in the stomach as a trickle of blood comes out of her mouth. She falls forward but Sesshy catches her and holds her up with one hand.

"You have nearly killed my Lady." He sounds pissed.

"And to show how sorry I am I'll take her home."

"No, you will defile her with your touch, you sadistic bastard. You are a dishonor to the Eastern Lands, trying to take MY Kagome. So you are sentenced to death and I will take your life since it is me you have offended." Sesshy uses his poison talons attack, with the hand that is not steadying Kagome, to punch a hole through Ryu's chest, grabs hold of his heart and rips it out. "arahhhh" Sesshy yells and pulls his hand back. Holding onto Kagome he then takes his hand and grabs the man's face. He slowly burns it with his acid. "Why don't you scream for me? Your vocal cords and brain are still intact." As if answering to Sesshomaru's suggestion Ryu screams out and dies. "That's all you've got? Pity. What a waste of power."

"Sesshy…" Kagome speaks up weakly. "I'm… glad… you're home…" She blacks out. Sesshomaru picks her up and walks to the stables.

"Jakken."

"Yes my Lord?"

"Bring Rin to her room and watch her. I must attend to Lady Kagome."

"Oh my gawd! What the hell happened?" He finally sees what bad condition Kagome is in.

"Ryu did this. She fought well though. Don't tell Rin what bad shape her okaa-san is in or I'll squish you. Got that?"

"Yes my Lord."

"Good." He walks to the castle and down the hallways to Kagome's room. He kicks open the door, enters the room and lays Kagome on the bad. –If I hadn't have gone to the Eastern Lands she would not be in this state. I should've known this was a trap.- He goes off to get a healer. "Khan!"

"Yes sir?" A male, silver wolf demon comes running over.

"Take care of Lady Kagome. If she ends up dying you're fired."

"Yes sir. I'm glad to know you actually like her."

"I don't."

"I know you better then anyone else Sesshomaru, you cannot hide your feelings from me. I know what's happening here. Lady has broken through your cold exterior. She did a long time ago. She has never feared you like just about everyone else."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Whatever Sesshomaru, it's clear in your eyes."

"Just because you grew up with me doesn't mean you know everything!"

"But it does mean that I know everything about you."

"Would you stop bickering with me and just fucking help Kagome?"

"There's no need to swear. I'll help your soulmate."

"She is NOT -"

"Give it a rest! You can not and you will not win against me!"

"Stupid telepathic wolf demon!"

"Bitter Inu-youki!"

"Moron!"

"Tempermental!"

"… I'll get you later!" Sesshomaru walks off.

"You may try." Khan goes to Kagome's room, he shuts and locks the door behind him.

(3 hours later)

Khan casually walks into Sesshomaru's study. "Well? What's the damage?" Sesshy doesn't look up from his desk.

"What is your problem Sesshomaru? Is that paperwork more important to you then your mate?"

"SHE IS NOT MY MATE!"

"Oh bullshit! She is your soulmate and you know it! She might as well be your mate! She has taken up the role of being the Lady of the Western Lands! Rin has become her daughter! The entire staff loves her! Even Jakken will listen to her! She took a fatal blow for you without even thinking! You're so ignorant! Can't you see that she loves you?"

"She what?"

"She won't admit it out loud but her mind does! You should've heard her when she got pissed off at Ryu! She fought him for YOU! You're such a dimwit!"

"She did that…?"

"For YOU! But you're such a bad ass that you blind yourself!"

"…"

"Go sit with her!"

"I have paperwork to do –"

"Go fucking sit with her damn you! Get moving you bastard!" Sesshomaru reluctantly leaves his study, being kicked out by Khan. Khan sits down and sighs. "Gawd damned blind Inu-youki!"

Sesshomaru walks into the room where Kagome is sleeping and kneels at her bed. –Stupid wolf! Why does he have to act so beligerant when he's around me? Has he no respect? Nope. He's been your friend since you were 3. So… why am I talking to myself?- A low rumble emits from his throat at the thought. He turns his attention to Kagome. "She looks like she's sleeping…"

-That's because she's in a coma-like state.-

"Back for another fight?"

-Shh.-

"Don't' you DARE tell me to shh! I am your Lord!"

-Sesshomaru you cannot yell when you're with Lady Kagome!-

-You call her Lady yet you don't call me Lord!-

-She has earned my respect. At the time being you have lost it.-

-What the hell!- Sesshomaru gets pissed off, again.

"S…Sesshy…" A buzzer goes off.

-Khan what the fuck is going on?-

Khan comes running into the room. "Oh shit! Move!" He nudges Sesshy out of his way and out the door. "Come back later." He shuts the door and locks it.

"Make up your damn mind you paranoid wolf! You told me to go sit with her so I did and then you kick me out!" Sesshy stands outside the door, foot tapping with impatience. Khan steps out of the room ½ an hour later.

"She called out to you, did you hear her?"

"I did."

"What more proof do you need to figure out that Lady Kagome loves you? Your name was the first thing she called out. You were the first thing on her mind."

"When will she wake up?"

"Her injuries are fatal so… perhaps a few days." He leaves. Sesshomaru goes back into Kagome's room and kneels at her bed.

"If I talk to you, can you hear me?" He rests his arms on the bed. "You better wake up soon, Rin has been asking for her Okaa-san. It seems that you've won the approval of my staff. That's not easily accomplished. They've always hated any female who dared to enter this castle, but they all love you. You've done a nice job." He gets up and walks to the door. "Good night my Lady." He goes to his own room.

(The next day.)

"Otou-san!" Rin runs up to Sesshomaru. "Can Rin go see Okaa-san today?"

"Sure."

"Will you come with Rin? Please?" She looks at him with puppy eyes.

"I supposse so."

"Yay!" She grabs hold of Sesshy's pant leg. "C'mon! Let's go!" They walk to Kagome's room to find Khan there.

"Well?" Sesshomaru questions him.

"She can hear you but she's still has yet to waken."

"Alright Rin." The little girl releases her hold on Sesshy and runs over to stand beside Kagome's bed.

"Rin has come to say hello Okaa-sanRin wishes you would play with her. Okaa-san, Rin wishes to read to youa story like you do for her when she goes to sleep. See? Rin has brought a book." She hold up a leather-bound book with the name 'Cinderella' engraved on the cover. "Remember this? It's Rin's favorite book!" The little girl sits on the side of the bed and starts to read. Sesshomaru and Khan quietly slip out of the room, unnoticed by Rin.

"I told you she was your Lady. The staff takes turns asking how she is. Even Jakken stopped by today and now Rin is reading to her. She is your mate, you cannot deny her that role. You two were made for each other. I'll leave you for a bit so you can get used to the idea." Khan strides down the hallway.

-Damn. He's right. Well this sucks.- sigh -I guess I might as well accept it. I made her accept her new life, I suppose I should do the same.-

"Otou-san!" Rin peaks at him from behind the door.

"What is it Rin?"

"Okaa-san wants you."

"Is she awake yet?"

"No."

"Then how do you know that?"

"Rin heard her call you in here." She points to her head.

Rosie hater: Incase anyone wanted to know the character Khan is based off of my friend werewolfbane.
