As I have said beofre, I don't own the InuYasha characters! They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi, as it always will!

Kagome sniffled. Her knees had let go just a few meters from the well. Now she hadn't even got the strength to rise and go home.

"I-idiot" she cursed herself and dried her eyes with her hands. 'That's it. He choose her over you because you are such a weakling!'

"Why w-would I c-care what that i-idiot does? It's not like I lo-love him or anything!" she wept. 'Then why do you think it hurts so much?'

Kagome gasped and clasped her arms around her knees, in an attempt to hide herself. Love him? No, he was just a friend. Her best friend in this world and her own. She was just mad that he kept lying to her, that's all.
Kagome rubbed her eyes and sobbed. No way that she could go home to her family and looking like a red eyed panda.

"My, such a lovely, heartbroken creature. Who and what in the world could have made something so… delicate cry so heart wrenching?"

Startled by the unexpected voice she raised her head and blinked at the beautiful man before her. He had crystal blue eyes, long golden hair and a kind smile on his face.

"Go away, demon" she muttered and hides her face in her lap again. "I really d-don't feel like it."

The demons smile got wider and he bent down to eye level. "How did you know which my nature was?"

She sniffled and looked straight into the demons eyes. "Because you are too beautiful to be a human being, that's how. Will you please get out of my face?"

The demon laughed and offered her a hand. "My name is Hebi Otoko, and yours is…?"

"What do you want, Otoko?"

"Can't a man – demon – as me just have a chat with a beautiful maiden such as you?"

That made Kagome react. She looked up at the demon and sniffed. "I'm? Beautiful?"

Otoko grinned, revealing sharp fangs. "Not exactly my choice of word, but close enough. Now, were was I – ah, delicate. Yes, indeed."

With that he lunged for her, pinning her to the ground. Kagome stared into his beautiful face just to see it bubble as it transformed. A sky blue serpent's face stared down at her, it's pink tongue tasting her.

"Now, letsssss sssee – where sssshould I sssstart?" it lisped. "Maybe your long legssss", Otoko slide its tail over her shivering legs, "or maybe thissss thin ssstomach of yoursss?" His eyes were never leaving hers, making her want to sleep. Even if his words were terrifying, it didn't feel like it mattered. He would make her heart whole; take away every fear, every thought about InuYasha.
She felt her eyes close and the serpent lower his head over hers.

Sesshomaru felt the presence grow stronger as he rushed. He could smell the humans now which was not a very pleasing smell, humans had never been. Except Rin, but that was only because he made her bath every night.

He sneezed, trying to get the annoying scents out of his nose. But then he came to a stop, taking a deep breath. It still smelled disgusting of humans, but there were a faintly different mixed with them.
Demon.
But it was strange… it smelled too pure to be a demon. Then he could sense the iron smell of blood.

Her mind felt like a caged little bird – flying to one corner of her head to the other. Trapped. She had understand that when Otokos fangs pierced her skin that they were poisonous. Or, not really poisonous – more like the venom made her numb and… happy.

No more pain, no more memories – that's what he and the venom promised. She sighed and turned her head as his fangs once again stabbed her leg.

"Priessssstesss, are you feeling alright? No more tearsss, right? Only the sssweet feeling of numbnesss and sssoon – heaven. Yesss, miko, you are sssafe with-"

Suddenly she felt the heavy burden of demon leave her, and she tried to open her eyes. But she couldn't. It was as if her eyelids had been glued together.

"What isss thisss?" she heard Otoko say. "A dog demon? Wantsss a bite, eh? Or only here asss guard dog?"

'Dog demon? InuYasha?' Kagome thought confused. 'But he is with Kikyo and won't protect me anymore… right?'

Sesshomaru stood face to face with the snake demon. He glanced behind him and could see InuYasha's wench lying on the ground, her legs completely soaked with blood.

'That is where the pure scent comes from' he thought, sniffing deeply.

"A dog demon?" the serpent said, its blue eyes gleaming with interest. "Wantsss a bite, eh? Or only here asss guard dog?"

"Do not place me in the same position as a weak human" Sesshomaru said icily.

The serpent hissed and rose into its full length. "Cocky now, aren't we? But if ssshe isss not yoursss, get out of here. You don't want to fight the princcce of Hebi, Otoko. Ssshe isss my prey."

"She is mine as well", Sesshomaru said, taking a step forward. "I will be the one to take her away from this world."

The serpent cackled. "Take her away? Are you her knight in ssshining armor? Or a avenging demon with…" Otoko watched Sesshomaru sneakily, "a lack of an arm? Oh, thisss sssurely isss exccciting!"

Before the serpent realized, Sesshomaru had lunged for him, his right arms claws glowing with green. With a hiss Otoko threw himself away from the danger, turning rapid fast at the dog demon. He bared his fangs which were dripping with now poisonous venom.

"Ssse thessse, dog? My fangsss can make my prey either feel pain or pleasssure, deepending on how I think about them. Right now," Otoko hissed, "I think I will go for the 'Venom of Pain'."

Yay for talking non-stop! Well, anyway, second chapter already? When I posted this it was like two in the morning... night... yeah, something =w=
Btw that, I am thinking about adding a little more guys in the next chapter - or guy. But still only a thought!
Thanks kindly for the review I got last time, made me soooo happy \(^^)/
(for those who didn't know, Hebi Otoko is a OC character I made up. His name means something like "Snake Man". Very creative, don't you think?)
