Poison

Kagome remembered waking only a few times over the course of the next few days. All she could remember of those times were a set of golden eyes and such unbearable heat. Every time she cried out, the eyes where there.

To Sesshomaru though, he was wondering if she was worth all the trouble he was going through to keep her alive. Humans where so fragile. He could barely leave the room with her crying out for him again.

And as he placed another rag upon her brow, she opened her eyes. He prepared himself for another hallucination, but none came. She just stared at him uncomprehendingly before speaking.

"How did I end up back in the feudal era? And where is Inuyasha?" Her voice was thick with sleep and confusion.

"Foolish Miko. You are not in the past. Though it intrigues me that you would assume to be at the discovery of my person." He wiped her brow gently a few times before looking her in the eye. "Though I am curious as to how you came to be here. You see, the Shikon miko I knew died a very long time ago, taking the jewel with her from this world. Yet here you have shards."

She struggled to sit up, and his hands came up to help her. When she finally looked at him again, she steeled herself before speaking. "You see, to explain that, I guess I have to tell you my story. It's long though."

He swung his legs up to rest on the bed, making himself comfortable. "You forget that I am a taiyouki, miko. I have all the time in the world."

Note: Woot for 2 updates in one day, Like Tangerine Dreams, this one is also finished on another site, so I'm posting the chapters quickly.
