Chapter 6,

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She sighed and tried to think back to the night before. She did not remember falling asleep and closed her eyes, sighing again. She tried to sit up and realized that there was almost no pain involved in the action. She moved her feet out of the bed and shakily stood up. She smirked to herself and started to walk.

After a bit of getting used to walking she went to the bathroom and sighed when she saw a hot bath waiting. She quickly got out of the robe she had been sleeping in and slipped into the bath.

Kagome stayed in for about an hour and happily soaked in the warm water. She slightly dozed off and noticed a kimono laying to the side of the bath and smiled. She quickly got out and changed.

She walked out of the bathroom and Rin ran up to her. "Good morning Kagome-sama I am glad you were finally able to get out of bed. Now you can come and play with me!" She said happily. Kagome sighed and a almost unheard chuckle was heard from behind Kagome.

Kagome quickly turned around and smiled when she saw Sesshomaru. He smirked at her. "Now Rin I believe that it is best if you let Kagome get used to being up and around before you pester about wanting to play." He said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Rin huffed in disappointment but ran away to pester Jaken instead. Kagome laughed when she heard a loud screech come from Jaken and almost doubled over laughing when she saw Jaken run right past them with a very energetic Rin chasing after him with his staff in her hands. How Rin managed to get that staff away from him she would never know.

Sesshomaru gently grabbed her shoulder and guided her towards the kitchen. Kagome looked at him but he shook his head. "You are probably hungry so you shall eat something."

Kagome nodded when her stomach grumbled it's answer to signify that it was ready to eat. A servant brought out some fruit and bread and Kagome quickly filled her plate and started to eat.

Sesshomaru watched her in amazement when he noticed all the food she was planning to eat. He ate a little fruit but that was about it. A while later they..well Kagome had finished eating and leaned back against her chair, completely content.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and smiled at him. Sesshomaru was instantly on alert knowing that something was up. "Do you mind if I go outside for a while. I would like to get a breath of fresh air."

Sesshomaru stared at her and nodded. He called out for Jaken who was followed by Rin. "Jaken please take Kagome outside. If any demons come that you don't know Kill them."

Jaken quickly nodded and motioned for Kagome and Rin to follow him. Kagome sighed and walked out to a field that was a little ways away from the castle. She sat down in the grass and Jaken sat beside her. Kagome looked over at Jaken.

"Why don't you every really play with Rin?" She asked quietly. Jaken looked at her, completely surprised by her question. Jaken looked over at the ground and sighed.

"It is because she is such an annoying child. I don't even know why Lord Sesshomaru insists on keeping her around!" Kagome flinched at his tone of voice and sighed in defeat. She looked back over at Jaken.

"Why don't you just try to play with her. She would probably be less annoying if you would just play with her." She said as a matter of fact. Jaken stared at the ground and nodded. He looked back up at the sky.

"I guess I could give it a try. Maybe then I would get a day off." He said with a smirk. Kagome smiled and nodded patting Jaken on the back.

All of a sudden Kagome got this weird feeling, almost like something was coming. She felt that it was dark and tainted. She looked over at Jaken. "Something is coming." Jaken looked at her.

"Are you sure, I am a demon and do not feel anything. I would be able to sense a demonic aura if a demon was coming." Kagome stood up and stumbled at bit. She glared at Jaken.

"I know something is coming! I can feel it so you have to believe me!" She yelled at Jaken. The green toad nodded and stood up and gripped his staff in a fighting position.

Suddenly something in a baboon outfit came out of the forest and stared at them. The creature looked at Kagome and laughed evilly. "My dead Kagome, I thought that you were dead."

Kagome stared at it and scowled. She backed up a bit, as did Jaken and pointed at the creature. "Who are you and how do you know my name!?" She yelled at it. the creature laughed again and a cold chill went down Kagome's spine.

"I am surprised you don't remember me, but I shall tell you anyways seeing as how you are about to die." Jaken stepped in font of Kagome. "That shall never happen now die!"

The part of the staff with the old man's face opened up and let loose a torrent of fire. The creature put up a barrier and blocked the attack. Kagome stared at the creature and looked down at Jaken.

"We should make a run for it!" She said quickly. Jaken nodded and they turned around to run. Suddenly the creature was in front of Kagome and she tried to back away but the creature had her by her arm.

Kagome bit back a scream when the creatures claws pierced her skin. Jaken jumped in to try and save her but the creature knocked him away and Jaken hit a tree and fell unconscious. Kagome could see Sesshomaru running towards them but the creature laughed.

"He will not be able to save you like he did last time. I Shall finish what I started." Suddenly Kagome was hit with a one of his tentacles and it managed to peirce her chest. The tentacle just barely missed her heart but the creature pored miasma into the wound and poisoned Kagome.

Kagome screamed as the poison started to burn and the creature laughed. It dropped Kagome on the ground and vanished. Sesshomaru ran to her and gently picked her up. He quickly ran back to the castle and called for all of his demon healers.

Every healer in the castle came but no one was able to stop the poisoning. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru. "Am I going to die?" She asked while fully knowing what the poison was doing to her body. Sesshomaru nodded and grabbed her hand.

It is now or never. You have to take her as your mate or she will be lost to you. SHUT UP!! Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and smiled to her. He sat down beside her and grabbed her other hand.

"Kagome I know that it might be a little late now, but would you consider being my mate?" Kagome stared up at him and nodded, smiling. Sesshomaru leaned down and gently kissed her lips. She looked up at him when they broke apart.

"I am sorry that I will not live much longer." She said sadly. Sesshomaru took her hands and smiled at her. "Since you acccepted becoming my mate then maybe you will be able to live."

Kagome stared at him when he leaned down and licked her neck. She shivered and felt a sharp sting as he bit her. She suddenly felt a little different but the pain of her wounds and poison quickly overcame that and she was thrown into darkness.

Sesshomaru felt happy as he bit her. He would mark her and maybe what he thought might happen would. He pulled his fangs out of her neck and looked down at her.

Her eyes had closed and her heart was getting slower and slower until it finally stopped. Sesshomaru stared at her and picked her up, pulling her face into his chest. He closed his eyes and rocked her back and forth, not letting a single tear show.

Suddenly something happened and Sesshomaru's eyes widened.
