I do not own Inuyasha.

Before

'I could have lost Rin. I might lose my first love now too,' his heart ached and his beast howled in pain. He wished this just all was a nightmare he would wake up to having Kagome in his arms.

Now

Chapter 7

Kikyo started to smile which made Inuyasha give her a questioning look. "It's nothing," she lied feeling Kagome die slowly. She knew as soon as Kagome was dead the spell would break on him since nothing would be holding him in the living anymore. She was looking forward to having Kagome killed by Inuyasha though.

"So Kikyo, which way to the castle?" Inuyasha asked her letting her off his back.

She smiled, "We still have to head west to here," she said looking around the trees.

Inuyasha looked at her, something in his head was screaming to run, but he wouldn't. He had no clue how much of a hold she put on him. Being near her was giving her more control than anyone knew.

In the morning Kagome had woken up back into her room. The blue covers over her which confused her. She was a live; the last thing she remembered was the wolf attack. Was Rin alright? She went to get out of the bed but her side hurt. She laid back down looking around.

"I guess my dress is gone," she sighed seeing she was dressed in something knew. She didn't know how long she was there by herself but the door opened slowly. She looked up seeing Sesshomaru there.

"Kagome," he said with surprise he wasn't expecting her to wake for another day. He went to her side, "Are you okay?" he said feeling her forehead.

"Yea, what happened?" She asked looking at him.

"Kagome you were attacked you wolves," he said giving her a questioning look.

"I know that. Is Rin alright?" She asked looking at the door.

"She hasn't left her room since she was back in the castle," he said remembering how cold he was to her. "She fine no harm has come to her."

"So everything is fine," she said looking up to the ceiling.

"Fine?" He questioned with his voice going dark. "You almost died. I almost lost you. What if I didn't make it to you in time? I would have lost you," he snapped. She looked up to see his eyes have a red in the corners.

"I… I…," she didn't know what to say.

"Kagome I love you, okay. When I heard your scream in the forest I thought I had lost you. Don't ever say everything is fine if your life was on the line," he hissed the last part.

"Sesshomaru I'm alive," she whispered touching his face gentle with her fingertips. "You don't have to be worry," she tried to calm him down.

'Does she not understand she was close to death?' His beast deep dark voice growled in his head.

'No she does not understand,' Sesshomaru told him beast glaring at Kagome.

"Kagome you don't understand. You were near death and if I didn't get to you in time… Just never leave the grounds again without the guards," he said letting his voice show his sadness for once. She frowned and sighed.

"I'm sorry," she said looking at his eyes, pleading for forgiveness. He looked at her and kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll get you something to eat," he said walking out the door. She thought of what he'd said. How he had reacted. Was her life that important? She couldn't figure out it. She would do anything to keep Rin safe.

'I'm the same as Rin. He would never want anything to happen to us,' she gasped figuring it out. How could she be that thoughtless? He loved her.

He came in with some fruit and placed it on the night table so he could help her up. She whimpered went he touched the scar left from mistress centipede made.

"Did they hurt you there?" he asked looking at her.

"No, It was a demon that bite into me to rip out the jewel that was in my body at the time," she said looking at his eyes. They had sadness in them. "There was nothing anyone could have done. It was right when I met Inuyasha," she said regretting saying the half-breed's name. Tears went in her eyes.

Sesshomaru could smell them and held her tight to his chest. "He won't get you here. If I have to I'll move you to a closer room to mine," he said rubbing her back with gently.

"I know," she whispered. They stayed like that for the whole day.

"You know Inuyasha is going to kill her now. He rather have Kikyo's help," Sango said with pain. Shippo was out playing with the villager's children.

"Sango my sweet done worry," Miroku said his hand heading lower down her back.

"HENTAI," she yelled leaving a bright red hand print on his face. He just sat there with a goofy grin thinking that it was worth it. Sango sighed.

'Sometimes I wish he'd notice more than my but. Doesn't he know I have feelings,' she thought to herself. She looked at her hand print on his face and looked away. 'Kagome I hope your still alive.'

Kikyo and Inuyasha set up camp for the day. She was pissed feeling that Kagome was healing quickly. She couldn't stand the idea that she was still alive.

'Just wait Kagome you won't be living as soon as you are in my sight.'

Inuyasha looked over seeing Kikyo deep in thought and left her like that. He didn't want to get on her bad side since he knew how good she was at shooting arrows from her bow.

He still felt off and tried to figure out why. 'I'm forgetting something, I just know that there was a promise I have to someone,' he sighed. It wasn't going to come yet. He just hoped it came back before it was too late and everyone else would be happy.

Kikyo looked up seeing Inuyasha thinking and glared. She would have fixed her spell soon just to keep him from trying to figure anything out. She sighed and said, "Inuyasha."
