Sesshoumaru stood on his balcony that over looked the one of his many gardens. He had arrived about an hour ago and since then Kagome had plagued his thought. He remembered how warm she felt as he carried her. The way she held on tight when he had to jump over some fallen trees. How she snuggled close when she became cold. Sesshoumaru tried to take a deep breath but he found that he could not calm his beast. His beast wished to see if the miko was fine but he did not want to disturb her.

He looked up at the moon that graced the sky and sighed. Sesshoumaru knew that in a couple of days the new moon would come and his brother would be in danger. He turned and sat in front of the fire place that was in his room and stared into the fire. Sesshoumaru did not always like his half brother but he always loved the whelp even though he was hard on Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and lend his head back on the chair thinking about the day that Inuyasha had almost died.

Flash Back

"Oi, leave me ya bastard." Inuyasha told his brother as he was lying on the ground with a gash across his chest. Sesshoumaru knew that if he could make it til dawn he would be fine but as it was dawn was too far away.

Sesshoumaru could feel his heart fall to his feet. He knelt down by his brother. It was the night of the new moon and they were on their way back when they were attacked. Sesshoumaru felt his throat become thick with emotions. He looked down at his blood brother and he felt his heart start to hurt. "This Sesshoumaru shall not leave you behind." Sesshoumaru used his tail and arm to pick his brother up. He had already took care of the enemy so they would be fine. He speed to the castle hoping and praying that a healer could help his brother.

Sesshoumaru was at the castle in no time. He called Jaken to have a healer come into Inuyasha's room. When the healer came she check Inuyasha over and turned to her Lord and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry Mi-lord but his injuries are to severe. He will not make it til the morning."

"Is there anything that can be done?"

The healer nodded, "Yes mi-lord but it has not been done in some time."

"Tell me." Sesshoumaru demanded as he looked down at his brother, who was now white as a sheet and his breathing was slow.

"You will have to give his some of your blood and doku. I must warn you though if you have any ill will towards your brother this method will not work. I shall leave you to your decision." With that the healer left. Sesshoumaru knew what she meant. He had always been hard on his brother but it was not the reason they thought. Sesshoumaru was teaching Inuyasha the only way he knew how. Sesshoumaru walked over and sat on the bed next to his brother. His decision was made. He would save his brother.

End of Flash Back

Sesshoumaru's thoughts came crashing back to the present when he heard a soft cry come from Kagome's room. He rushed through the door to find her thrashing around on the bed. He could smell her fear as well as the salt of her tears. He went to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down Kagome." He whispered to her as he flared his aura to show her that he was here. He had learned the technique from his mother. He watched Kagomes' eyes open and looked around until she seen his face. His heart clenched when he seen the tears in the corner of her eyes. He brushed the hair out of her face and drew her into an embrace. He could feel her stiffen til he whispered to her that he was not going to hurt her. Then she collapsed against him, sobbing. Sesshoumaru held her til she feel asleep then layed her down as soon as he tried to pull away he felt her tighten her grip.

"Stay." Was the only word that came from her. Sesshoumaru nodded as he walked around to the other side and sat against the headboard with his legs stretched out in front of him. As soon as he was seated Kagome crawled over and layed her head on his thigh. Sesshoumaru wrapped his tail around her and soothed her by a low rumble from his chest. He closed his eyes letting her aura surround him. Within moments he was fast asleep.
