Chapter 2,
Sesshomaru quickly flew to his castle carrying Kagome. She had started to become paler and paler every minute and he knew that she would not hold out much longer. He also couldn't quite place why he felt that he should help her but he just did.
Rin and Jaken were riding on Ah-Un, and they were flying behind Sesshomaru. It took them about thirty minutes to reach Sesshomaru's castle. When they finally got there Sesshomaru yelled out for the demon healer that worked under him. The old woman quickly ran up to him and motioned for him to lay Kagome down so she could treat her wounds.
Sesshomaru did as he was told but made a mental note to talk to the old woman about giving him orders. He sent Rin and Jaken off to go play together. He sat down across the room and watched the old demon work.
The old woman took off Kagome's shirt, leaving her only in her bra, and started to clean her wounds.
Sesshomaru was about to object from the old demon taking off Kagome's shirt but held his tongue. Instead he just averted his eyes but he felt the need to make sure that she was helped, but still he kept his wondering eyes away from Kagome's now exposed body.
After a couple of hours the old woman had cleaned and bandaged Kagome's wounds and now looked back at Sesshomaru.
"She is in a stable condition now although the next day or so will be a critical time for her. Her wounds would have killed her had you not quickly acted. So now since she lost so much blood there is still a small chance of her dying."
Sesshomaru nodded and the woman left. He looked back at Kagome and put some covers on top of her so that she would stay warm. Then he went and sat back down in the corner and watcher her till she woke up.
Sango paced around, fuming at why Inuyasha let the dead miko travel with them but did not question them herself. Inuyasha was on his hands and knees searching for any sign of Naraku. Kikyo was standing just a little farther off and watching with a hint of amusement in her eyes at the way Inuyasha currently was positioned.
Miroku noticed that Sango was currently preoccupied and took that opportunity to grope Sango. A loud smack went through the trees around them and Shippo sighed. He looked into the trees and sighed again, keeping any traces of tears at bay.
I can't believe Kagome is really gone. They said that they found no body but there was a faint scent of Sesshomaru. I wish we could find her. Shippo quietly thought to himself.
Inuyasha turned to them and shook his head. "Damn, I can't get even a whiff of Naraku. I wonder what that bastard is doing. He killed Kagome and because of that I will personally slaughter him, but in order to do that we actually have to find him."
Sango nodded and both her and Kikyo started walking in the direction that Shippo and Inuyasha were walking; she quickly took a small glance backward and smiled at her handiwork with Miroku, who had a large handprint on his face.
They walked for a while more until a strong smell of miasma filled the area. Inuyasha looked around and everybody got into a fighting stance. Suddenly Naraku appeared out of the tree line. Naraku looked at them.
"How sweet. You are coming to avenge your miko friend, aren't you? Plus now you are traveling with Kikyo I see." Inuyasha growled and unsheathed his tetsaiga. He lunged at Naraku who was currently laughing.
"Don't you dare talk about Kagome like that or Kikyo you cocky bastard! Kaza no Kizu!" Inuyasha's attack ripped up the ground and headed towards Naraku. Naraku dodged and landed a bit further away from the group. He grinned evilly at them.
"Want to know a secret. The miko was near death but someone came and took her. She might or might not still be alive. But I do warn you, I always finish what I start."
After Naraku said that he vanished while laughing. Inuyasha turned to Miroku, Sango, and Kikyo.
"Did he just say that Kagome might be alive?" They all nodded. Sango looked up at the sky. "I hope that he is telling the truth because if he is not then I will make sure that he never is able to lie again."
Everyone winced at that and now started their journey to find Kagome. Inuyasha looked at the group.
"Wait, there was Sesshomaru's scent in the area. We should check at his castle first."
Everyone nodded and they all set out for the western lands.
Kagome slowly came to and opened her eyes. She heard movement behind her and tried to sit up but was gently pushed back down. She saw a flash of sliver hair. She looked at the person who decided to show himself to her.
"It would be best that you didn't move for a while. Your injuries have not quite healed." Kagome stared at him.
"Where am I, and who are you?" Sesshomaru stared in surprise at her but quickly hid that. He looked down at her.
"Do you know your name?" Kagome thought for a bit but ended up shaking her head. "Sorry but I cannot recall my name." Sesshomaru stared at her before sitting down on the chair that was close to the bed.
"Your name is Kagome, you were attacked by Naraku and I brought you here for medical attention. Other than that I do not know much about you. I only saw you once or twice before."
Kagome nodded and smiled, starting to drift into sleep. She looked back at the man who had saved her.
"What is you name?" Sesshomaru stared at her. "My name is Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome nodded and started to fall asleep. She muttered a few words that a normal human would not be able to hear but Sesshomaru's demon hearing picked it up. His eyes widened in slight shock. He recalled what she had said. "Arigato Sesshomaru." He smiled at her then inwardly frowned at himself. Why did this Sesshomaru smile at her? He thought to himself and quietly walked out of the room so not to disturb the sleeping Kagome.
A.NSo everyone how did you like the third chapter. I decided that amnesia would be the best way to go on with the story. Please review and tell me what you think. Pretty please. Well thanks to all who reviewed on the first chapter.
