A Future Fairytale
Chapter 6
That Foolish Woman
Sesshomaru stopped lecturing Jakken to sniff the air. 'Blood...' he thought to himself. 'But who...?' He knew he recognized that scent, but couldn't place it at all.
Then suddenly there was a scream, and Sesshomaru knew that was Rim. He sniffed her out and ran after her, finally finding her leaning against the tree, and looking very pale.
"Rin... what is it?" Sesshomaru asked her, kneeling down next to the small girl.
The girl, paled expression turned to Sesshomaru. "I-It's Lady Kikyou... my lord..."
Sesshomaru finally turned to face the woman leaning against the tree, unconscious. His eyes widened and he paled. "Damn that foolish woman, doesn't she realize she could harm the child, let alone herself if she does that?"
Rin looked at Sesshomaru. He was angry. No, he was mad as hell. He gently picked the priestess up before heading back into the castle.
A few hours later, Sesshomaru had fully checked Kikyou. Her wounds had been healed by the healers of the castle and they had luckily saved the child. But the priestess had yet to wake up.
"My lord, she will not wake up," the nurse said. "We've tried everything."
"Well, what could be the problem?" Sesshomaru asked, voice stone cold.
"In some cases like this," the Healer explained. "It's that the woman is missing her beloved. It could be because she thinks he doesn't love her for some reason, but from what I've heard about your younger brother's relationship with this woman, I don't see why he wouldn't love her."
Sesshomaru sighed and nodded, agreeing with her. He may hate humans except for Rin, but he tolerated the priestess because she was a motherly figure to Rin. But it was a mystery, why would Inuyasha just abandon Kikyou?
"Alright, thank you," Sesshomaru told the healer, who nodded and walked off silently.
Sesshomaru sighed and turned to face the unconscious priestess. "Do you have any idea what on Earth you have done?" he whispered.
Kikyou didn't answer, she was out cold. Sesshomaru expected she wouldn't wake up for a while.
So he did the only thing he could think of.
He left her alone.
