The Shikon no Tama was complete. Sesshomaru knew what Kagome was going to wish, and he knew it was a mistake, so in trying to stop her he accidentally trapped them inside the wicked and despised item. [Written for Dokuga_Exchange 2011]

Atrapados

Chapter 6:

Sesshomaru turned to face the miko from legends. Golden eyes came down to the sword which seemed to be pulsing, eager for more youkai flesh. How much more did the sword need?

Midoriko moved a step closer and the Taiyoukai instinctively growled. "Do not approach any closer," he said warningly, and to his surprise she stopped.

The miko from whom the Shikon no Tama, the item trapping them herewas born, raised her chin defiantly, "Why are you holding her like that?" she spat, full of disgust. "You are always out to taint us, to kill us." Once again her body shook angrily.

"So archaic," growled Sesshomaru with his own amount of disgust, "It is no wonder you are where you are. Your foolishness deserves nothing less."

Confusion passed over her lovely face before it was easily hidden behind a mask of anger again. She tightened the hold on her sword, and it shone with her miko powers, "Release her. She has no need to be with the likes of you."

Sesshomaru moved Kagome's unconscious body to his left shoulder and held her with his left hand. His right one came to the hilt of Bakusaiga. "Do not test your luck, ningen, or I'll kill you."

"Ha," a dry laugh escaped the red lips of the great miko. "As if you, a mere youkai, could kill me."

A smirk appeared on the Taiyoukai's lips, "I am not a mere youkai, but a Taiyoukai. Furthermore…I know why do you wish for this miko, do not think you can fool me you deceitful wench. You want her because she can do what you can't. She can actually purify youkai. Why would I be afraid of a miko who cannot purify a low-level youkai?"

Angry tears began to fall down the miko's eyes. "Shut up! You know nothing!"

Sesshomaru's face got a hint of mockery, "Oh," he said with the same smirk of a moment ago. After he eyed her some more, pleased at her inner turmoil, his hands strayed from Bakusaiga's hilt, and he turned. He began to walk away but stopped. "We are getting out here," he told Midoriko confidently, "If you earn your place in my pack, an inuyoukai's pack, we will try to take you out as well. You decide." After his cryptic statement, the inuyoukai began to walk away in search of a quiet place where they could rest and he could start to heal Kagome's wounds. He didn't know if any of the slashes she got were poisonous, but he wasn't about to risk it.
