Chapter Five

"No!" I whispered. "No! You're supposed to be dead." The demon just laughed at my fear.

"Did you really think that I would let a pathetic half demon and a mere mortal destroy me. You're smarter than that Christina."

"Don't call me that."

"Why, Christina? It's your name." He said, moving closer. Sesshomaru pushed me behind him and pulled out the tokajin.

"Don't come any closer. You stay away from her."

"Lord Sesshomaru, do you fancy this girl to be your mate. I don't smell pr see a mark. I bet you haven't even seen the mark on her back." Sesshomaru looked at me and I looked at the ground.

"I thought you wouldn't like me if you knew about my scare."

"Don't be ridicules."The demon laughed again.

"How cute. How disgustingly cute. But know this. Christine is mine. Now give her to me and die, Lord Sesshomaru."

"The only way you'll take her is over my dead body." At that moment he rushed forward and their blades clashed together.

"RUN. God damn it. Christina, go back to the castle. Lock yourself in the kitchen and tell Jaken what's going on. Now go!!" He yelled.

"No! I'm not leaving without you." I screamed. I heard him growl in frustration.

"Ouyay hallsay oday hatway Iay-"

"Oddessgay leaspay rotectpay emay romfay pellssay astcay gainstay emay." I said, cutting him off. At least no one can put any spells against me for a couple hours. I struggled to remember the demons name. What was it? Then I remembered.

"Roy! Stop it! Leave him alone!" All he did was laugh. And then, so quick that I almost didn't see it, Roy stabbed Sesshomaru through the stomach. I felt like I couldn't breathe as I watched his body fall to the forest floor. I heard a shrill shriek, and then realized that I was the one making that sound. I stopped and glared at Roy as he stepped towards me.

"You made a terrible mistake when you decided to kill him. Now you'll pay." I raised my hand to the air and a sword made out of black flames appeared in my hand. I closed my eyes as I raised my energy. My eyes snapped open and focused on Roy.

"Crimson Flames!" I yelled. I brought my sword down. There was a bright light and then I saw Roy on his knees, with a severe wound in his chest. He looked up at me, and then disappeared. I threw down my sword and it too disappeared. I ran to Sesshomaru's side and put his head on my lap.

"Please. Oh, please don't die. I can't live without you. I love you." I whispered. His eyes remained shut and he didn't move or speak. I started crying as I put my hands on his wounds. I opened my energy centers and started pouring my energy into him. He jerked in pain, but that was good. It meant that he was alive. About fifteen minutes later his wound finally healed and I closed my energy centers. He opened his eyes and sat up. I was exhausted. I had given him so much energy. I felt like I was going to pass out. But I couldn't. There would be plenty of time for that when we get back to the castle.

"Why didn't you leave when I told you to?" He asked, helping me up.

"Well I knew you were going to get hurt and if I left you would be dead right now. Besides, I love you." I said. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist. When we finally pulled away for air he helped me walk. About half way there I stopped and sniffed the air.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing." I replied, turning towards him. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him passionately. I knew that we had an audience behind me, probably shocked and confused, but I didn't care. I pulled away for air and laughed.

"It's not like you've never seen anyone kiss before, Inuyasha. So shut your mouth." Inuyasha had a look on his face that said exactly what he was about to say.

"Sesshomaru what the hell is going on?" He screamed.

"Is it so odd to you little brother? All I did was kiss her." He laughed at Inuyasha as he made a face of disgust.

"Watch it Inuyasha. As far as I know you and Kagome have kissed before." I laughed again as Kagome's face turned bright red.

"Christina! You weren't supposed to tell him that I told you."

"Well maybe she wouldn't have told me if you hadn't told her.

"Inuyasha. Stop being such a baby."

"Why don't you just shut up and forget about it, okay?"

"No! I want to know why it bothers you so much that I love you!" Everything grew quiet as everyone stared at them, waiting for Inuyasha's answer. Inuyasha looked like he didn't quite catch what she said. And like the brilliant idiot he is, he didn't.

"What was that, Kagome?"

"Nothing, forget it." She muttered, looking down at the ground. Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at him.

"No. You said something. Now tell me."

"I said I love you." She whispered. Inuyasha pulled her forward and kissed her. This lasted for about thirty seconds until Sesshomaru cleared his throat. They pulled away and Kagome laid her head on his chest.

"Sesshomaru? Can they stay with us for a while? Pretty Please?" I said with a puppy dog face. He sighed and nodded I kissed him on the cheek and turned around.

"Who wants to stay with me for a bit?" They all agreed and we set off again. It wasn't until the castle was in sight that I noticed that I was getting dizzy. I remembered that I used way too much energy while fighting Roy and healing Sesshomaru. I grabbed Sesshomaru's arm and passed out.
