Discalimer: I do not own Inuyasha!
Summary: She's lost all hope, her heart breaking for the final time. No matter what anyone tries she doesn't respond. She is torn between going home and ever coming back or ending it all. However, a certain Daiyoukai refuses to let her give in.
Chapter 3
Inuyasha knew he blew it this time. He had been looking for her for days and when she had disappeared he had smelled her blood and Sesshomaru's scent. He growled and went after her. The others did tag along, only because they were worried about her and Shippo missed her tons. Even though he seemed young, Shippo knew it was Inuyasha's fault she left in the first place.
Kagome stayed laying in bed all day not doing anything. She wasn't touching her food or drinking anything. By this time Sesshomaru was growing impatient. 'I could get her to eat.' His beast said in his head with a smirk. He growled inwardly at him, 'You will do no such thing, now be quiet.' His beast laughed at him, 'If you don't do something she will die.' He growled again, 'It doesn't concern me if she dies.' Now his beast let out a loud cackle, 'You can lie to yourself, but you cannot lie to me... knock some sense into her before I do.' After getting his beast to become quiet again he went to her room.
She was curled up still crying softly. Her body was exhausted from her crying and not eating. He slid the door open and looked at her, "Stop this nonsense and get up." He remained calm, but his beast was right. He needed to knock some sense into her and quickly. She stayed curled up not looking at him. "You wouldn't understand..." Her voice sounded hoarse and sad. He looked down at her, "It matters not, there is no point in crying over that worthless hanyou." Now she sat up and looked at him. Her face drawn in a sad anger, "Why do you even care? Why are you trying to keep me alive? I'm of no use to you!" He began to think about what she said, 'Why do I care? I should let her die and have Inuyasha collect the body.' His beast eyed him 'Because you desire her just like I do. She is powerful and you can feel it.. do it now.'
She watched as his face masked different emotions like he was talking to himself. He growled and quickly had her pinned to the wall by her throat. She didn't even struggle and he couldn't smell any fear. "I do not have to explain myself to you miko." She looked at him angrily, "You do! Why can't you let me die?" He growled and before he could think rationally his lips crushed against hers. Her eyes grew wide before they closed and her final tear fell from them. No sooner than the kiss had started it had ended. He dropped her on the floor and turned leaving the room. She sat there in confusion holding her fingers against her lips.
-Sesshomaru's pov-
He had gone into his study and started to pace. Unconsciously growling at himself. His beast was amused, 'That was unexpected. Now what?' He growled at himself again, 'That wasn't supposed to happen... and it won't again.' His beast whimpered, 'But I want her and you do too.. stop denying it.' He growled again, 'Be quiet!' His beast smirked, 'He's close he will try to take her, give her an option. If she stays then she wants to be here, if not then let her go to her death.' He hated to admit it, but his beast had a point. He would give her a choice; two choices.
-end pov-
Kagome still sat there and wondered why he had kissed her. He had before, but only to help her drink. He was feeding her and had stopped her from hurting herself more. He also let her cry to him and held her. If he wanted to kill her he would have let her die in the forest. She then found herself wondering if Inuyasha would have cared the same way? Shaking her head she knew the answer already. Inuyasha probably wasn't even looking for her and if he was it was only because she could sense the jewel shards. She didn't matter to him and it just made her sad again.
Just then he had re-entered the room. She looked up at him with new tears and he sighed inwardly. Keeping his face calm he looked down at her, "The hanyou and your other companions are heading this way." He could smell despair in her scent. 'My beast might have a point..' She just looked up at him, the pain in her eyes visible now. "You can stay here as long as you wish and be away from the hanyou or you can go with them and die a slow and painful death. The choice is yours alone." He turned to leave, "I will be back to get you." With that he left leaving her to her thoughts. She really didn't want to see Inuyasha again. The memory of him and kikyo in that embrace and their bodies as one made her heart break again. Maybe it was best if she stayed there?
