I am so sorry that I haven't updated lately! My life has just been so complicated and I haven't had much time. I'll try to update more! Sorry!

Chapter 14

Sesshomaru POV

I already feel like crying.

Kagome has been unconscious for a week, and if not for the slight rising and falling of her chest, I would think her dead.

After she passed out, I quickly caught her before she could get hurt and turned around to take care of Naraku's creature but found it gone. Then I gave all my attention to my mate resting in my arms with a pained expression on her face. Since the conference was almost over, I left as quickly as possible to go back to the Western Land palace.

When getting back, I quickly told a servant to call for the priestess Kaede and took Kagome to the bedroom. When I put her down, her face creased in pain and from the loss of warmth. I quickly wrapped her in my tail and did everything in my power to make her comfortable. Then I left the room to wait for Kaede to come, and who else I assumed was coming.

Unfortunately, when Kaede arrived, I was correct when there were multiple people coming through my door. Two of them were yelling, one for Kagome, and the other very angrily at Sesshomaru.

Ignoring all the others, I quickly pointed Kaede to my bedroom, where I told her Kagome was laying on the bed. Walking with her, I explained everything that happened at the conference and what kind of condition Kagome was in. After showing Kaede the way, I turned to deal with Inuyasha.

"-AND YOU REALLY THOUGHT KAGOME WOULD BE OK? YOU ASSHOLE, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DID THIS TO HER!" He finally burned out to catch his breath after yelling at him for much longer than Sesshomaru's been listening.

"Inuyasha, if you do not shut up right now, I will be forced to remove you, for I do not have the time for you right now. My mate is probably in critical condition, and if you keep yelling, you will not be permitted to see her.

Surprisingly, Inuyasha shut up and looked down, probably ashamed. The monk and demon slayer stepped forward.

"I am sorry for Inuyasha, he needs someone to blame when Kagome gets hurt. May we please see her? We will be quiet and will not touch her or cause her pain." The monk pleaded with me, and all I could do was nod.

Sending the best glare I could muster at the moment sent Inuyasha's way, I began to lead the group to our room to see my mate.

Kagome POV

Everything hurt. I couldn't feel anything, couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, and yet, everything hurt. I was floating in darkness, and I didn't care. I just didn't want to hurt anymore. It was dull and over and sharp at times. It didn't stop, and I don't know how long it's been like this. I just want it to stop.

Suddenly, the pain was lightened. Just a fraction, but the pressure wasn't as bad, and it felt so good. I can help, you know. It's not hard.

"Who is it? Who's there?" I didn't know that I could hear others, let alone talk.

That doesn't matter. Just listen. I can help you. Just give me your spirit.

"Why would I do that? I don't even know who you are."

I told you that doesn't matter! Just give me your spirit, and I will take away all the pain.

Despite how much I wanted the pain to go away, the voice sounded familiar, and in a horrible way. I had a deep-set passion against this voice, and I knew that. Just who was it? And what was this aching in my heart, or what I think is my heart. Longing? For someone? But who?

Why won't you do it? Is it because of Sesshomaru?

Sesshomaru. I...I can't remember. I know this feeling, but-who?

You can't remember, can you? Ha! It serves you right, you little bitch! That's what you deserve for hopping from Inuyasha to Sesshomaru. I am the best for you, you will see soon enough!

Inuyasha? I don't...There's only one thing that I'm sure of, this person needs to leave. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Instead of him leaving, my eyes opened and I woke up to six unfamiliar, but concerned faces.
