Chapter 62
Kagome's wide brown eyes stared at the sword that dug into the wooden floor at her side. She quickly recognized it as Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga but, it was in its rusted, useless form. This, this, at least made some sense. Sesshomaru wasn't trying to kill her…
Golden eyes flashed, and Kagome gasped when the rusted hilt of the sword hit her side. She yowled in pain and rolled away, hands holding her injured side hoping to diminish the pain somehow. Tears prickled at her eyes, and she glared at the Taiyoukai, "What are you doing?"
"Fight, miko," he demanded and once again moved towards her.
Kagome moved out of the way of the sword and rolled away, angry tears falling down her eyes. She came to her feet as fast as she could and faced the inuyoukai in front of her. A thousand harsh words were dying to come out her tongue, but she held them firmly. She…this was nothing compared to what she did. "Why are there Jewel shards still here?"
Sesshomaru began to circle her, eyes locked on her form. "Inuyasha takes care of them," he said simply, and once again took an offensive stance.
"Why?" Kagome cried, holding out her hand in front of her in a hopeless attempt to stop this assault on her person. It was strange. Why Inuyasha and not him? Didn't Inuyasha want the Jewel to become a full-fledged demon, or had he already overcome this stage?
"This Sesshomaru cannot have the shards," he said with a snarl. "Fight miko, and you'll understand."
Kagome felt her eyes burn when more tears rolled down anew, but when Sesshomaru sped towards her, she knew she had to trust him in this. Sesshomaru was never mistaken, right?
