Sesshomaru and Kagome: A Dangerous Love

Chapter 6: Your Weakness

"My Lord?" Rin asked curiously as she watched Sesshomaru stand up and take his eyes off of Inuyasha.

'Why was Tenseiga not able to work -- Is it possible that he was already dead to begin with? No. I would've been able to sense that his life was drained.' Sesshomaru pondered to himself as he stared off into the distance. How could he be covered in dust? It was raining only a few hours ago and the ground was nothing but mud. It wasn't possible for there to be any dust. He must of traveled from some place far from here. Sesshomaru sniffed the air. He didn't smell Naraku at all on Inuyasha. In fact, he didn't smell anything other than the stench of Inuyasha's own blood.

"Nnn" could be heard from over by the tree as Kagome came to. 'It was just a dream,' she thought with a slight smile on her face. She then saw Inuyasha's body lying in the path still. "No..." she whispered. She stood up and restrained the tears that formed in her pools of brown eyes. "I need to go for a walk," she said quietly and headed off.

Sesshomaru didn't answer or show any sign that he cared. Though his arm did move just a tad, as if trying to stop her. However, he stopped himself and looked back down at Inuyasha. He then looked to the Tetsusaiga which was right next to Inuyasha in its sheath. 'I wonder...Once the owner of Tetsusaiga dies, does the barrier that prevents me from wielding it fade?' he thought to himself. He bent down and reached for it. He placed his hand around the hilt and for a split second, nothing happened. But that was until sparks emerged from the sword and bursts of lights enveloped Sesshomaru's hand. He quickly released it, disappointed that now no one could wield Tetsusaiga.

Kagome stopped down by a river bank which was surrounded by forest. She walked in with her clothes on and didn't even notice the freezing temperature of the water against her skin. She soon was neck-deep in water and leaned her head back. The water soaked up into her hair and she stood up straight again. She pulled her now wet, raven-black hair over her shoulder and twisted it, wringing the water out. The water had a certain tint of red to it from blood.

"Kagome," called a voice from near by.

Kagome stiffened and turned around to see who the familiar voice belonged to.

There stood Inuyasha, Tetsusaiga and all. He had no wounds what-so-ever on his body, seeming to be in perfect condition.

"Inuyasha! But you...I saw you...Dea--"

"I'm all better now, Kagome" Inuyasha said with a smile.

Kagome gasped, losing all sense of reality, she ran out from the water and slung her arms around his stomach. "I was so worried!" she said through tears.

"It's okay, I'm here now. Everything will be okay" Inuyasha said as a smirk appeared on his face.

Sesshomaru quickly slanted his eyes in the direction Kagome left in as the sudden scent of Naraku appeared. "Stay here," he commanded to Jaken and Rin as he raced off down the pathway.

Jaken sighed as he walked over to Inuyasha's dead body. "Poor lass. Though he did deserve it, being entrusted Tetsusaiga when it should've been inherited by Lord Sesshomaru!...Poor lass." Jaken continued to go back and forth, arguing with himself. Rin simply watched as her Lord darted off and waved to him.

Kagome hugged him tighter. "How did your wounds heal so fast?" she asked, looking up to him with tears of joy still in her eyes.

Sesshomaru stopped a few feet away from Kagome and the so-called Inuyasha, simply staring at him.

Inuyasha turned his head and saw Sesshomaru simply staring. He wrapped his arms around Kagome. "How nice of you to come, brother." Inuyasha said with a large grin.

Kagome looked over curiously and saw Sesshomaru."Oh, Sesshomaru! Look, he has healed! Isn't it a miracle?" she asked with a soft smile.

"Release her," Sesshomaru said, ignoring Kagome completely.

"See, Sesshomaru, I've finally figured out your weakness. I can't believe I was actually afraid of you at one point. I feared you had no weak points. But I found one, in fact, I found two. Rin...And Kagome," sneered Inuyasha, then followed by a chuckle as he turned Kagome around so her back was facing him. He wrapped an arm around her neck playfully at first, but then tightened his grip with a frown. "I bet it eats you inside to care for humans when you claim to despise them."

"Naraku, stop hiding behind a human shield and fight."

'Naraku?' Kagome thought to herself as she could feel the arm around her throat tighten. 'Then Inuyasha really is...' she thought as her mind started going blank. How could he play with someone's emotions like that? "You...Tricked me into--Into believing he was still alive! You killed him, you murderer!" she yelled.

Naraku, still looking like Inuyasha, looked down to her with a smile. "The human mind is so easy to manipulate, especially when they have suffered a loss of a love one,"

Sesshomaru withdrew his Tokijin.

"Haha! You must really think I'm foolish to be afraid of your sword. I know for fact you wouldn't strike with her in the way"

"Is that so, you are more idiotic than I thought. I, Sesshomaru, care for no such being."

"You talk big, but let's see you swing it. Go ahead, I dare you."

Sesshomaru's eyes dulled slightly, as if he were bored.

Naraku squeezed his arm even tighter. "You shouldn't of come, Sesshomaru. At least then she would've died thinking her beloved Inuyasha was alive"

Kagome still stared in Sesshomaru's direction, her mind filling with rage. A blue light started to emerge from her body. She was soon engulfed in the transparent blue light which flickered and moved like a fire.

Naraku frowned. "What is this?" he asked angrily and squeezed ten times harder in attempt to knock her unconscious.

Sesshomaru sheathed his Tokijin and simply stood there, watching the strange happenings.

Kagome gripped her hands around the arm attempting to choke her. She let out a small scream and two bulbs of powers formed where her hands were and shocked Naraku, which sent him flying back and turning into his usual state.

Kagome fell to her knees and hands, panting heavily as her face turned pale. It took pretty much all of her strength to pull that kind of trick. 'What did..I just do?' she thought to herself.

Naraku's feet slid as he came to a halt. He grabbed his arm and then dropped it. "That will be the last thing you do," he said with a growl and walked toward her.

Sesshomaru stepped in front of Kagome; his hair swayed to the side as the wind passed by. He looked so serene and calm, yet if one stared closely, a threat could be seen deep in his eyes. He had that 'I dare you to' sort of look.

"I did accomplish one thing," laughed Naraku. "I found a weakness in you." he added, then whispered "I found it" as if warning him. With the blink of an eye, he vanished. Damn that Naraku, he could elude anyone.

Sesshomaru turned around and bent down, staring at the panting Kagome.

Kagome turned her head to look at him, tears yet again forming in her eyes. She sat up on her knees and continued to stare at him for a moment, but then slightly jumped forward and hugged her arms around him, burying her face in his clothes. "I really thought he was alive," she whispered through sobs.

Sesshomaru's eyes had slightly widened by her actions, but softened and he placed his right hand on her head, not saying a word.

My Other Note: Ahh, don't kill me. I though about Kikyo and how Kikyo has that power, so don't think of me as randomly giving her a nice technique...Think of it as Kagome used something she already had when her mind was filled with revenge, ETC.
