And when you find me there you'll search no more...
Sesshomaru looked at her, she was small, meek, and scared, he could hear her heart beating. Why should he help her and what did she mean they were after her, she was one of them.
"Where is Inuyasha"
"With Kikyo"
"Why is he not with you"
"Does it matter!" She snapped,
"Indeed it does miko, why are you asking me for help, I am not the half breed you love so much"
"This has nothing to do with my feelings for your brother Sesshomaru and I'm not asking him I'm asking you"
Why was she fighting this?
"Look Kikyo and Inuyasha are trying to figure out more, I told them, I told them what I told you"
"That still does not tell me why he is with her and not you"
"Because she is his mate!" She yelled, she then turned away from him, she was not going to cry.
Sesshomaru was taken back, when had his brother mated? Why had he not known?
"Look I have them looking to things, but now, now I am here, in front of you, you, who once tried to kill me, and I am asking for help"
He knew it took a lot for her to ask, she was right, he once tried to kill her, how many people went up to the person who once tried to kill them and asked for help?
"Tell me miko, what do you mean they are after you"
She once again turned to look at him,
"Because, I know everything, only I can stop them"
"How do they know you wish to stop them"
"They don't, they are after me for my support of them, they want me to lead them"
They were silent for a moment,
"Who's side are you on miko" He had asked her once already,
She looked him deep in the eyes "Yours"
His, he took in a deep breath, she had looked for him, asked him and now wanted to stand by his side in this?
"What is it that you ask of me"
"Help me fight, protect me?" She asked,
Him, protect her? Fight with her, sure, fight against her, yep, but protect her,
"Why do you need my protection, you are powerful in your own right"
He was wise enough to admit it, she ranked high as him.
Kagome sighed "I'm still scared"
Kami he hated fear, in less the person was fearing him, then he liked it.
"We can't let this happen, I can't let it happen and when the miko's and monks find out that I'm against this, they will want to kill me to"
"You will not die so easy" He told her,
"Sesshomaru, the bigger you are, the harder you fall"
Their eyes met, and while he had never heard that before, he knew what she meant,
"I am asking you because you are the most powerful demon alive, I need your help, I cant do this alone and I can place Inuyasha on the ground with one word, how long he would last against 20 miko's around him"
Sesshomaru smirked,
"Will you help me"
"Protect you?"
"I know you hate the thought" She said dry,
He found that he could not say no, what else did he have to do? He had already surpassed his father in power, so now what, battle, that's what he lived for right, the fight, the rid the earth of the people who got in his way, and like she said, they would come, the miko's and monk, the humans.
"As long as you are here miko, no harm will come to you, they will not defy me"
"They will defy you"
"Then they will die"
"It wont be easy"
"You wish for my help"
"Yes"
"You are here with me, if they get in my way I will kill them, it is that easy"
Kagome sighed, "But it wont be that easy Sesshomaru" This was one thing she was afraid of "You have no idea, I wonder, I wonder how you met your end"
"I will not die so easy miko"
"And they wont either"
"Then it will be as you say, a war"
"And you will fight with me"
"I have killed many miko and I shall kill many more"
Most people would get chills "Sesshomaru, I wont tell you what to do, not like you would listen, but you have to hear me when I talk to you"
"I do hear you miko"
She shook her head "No, I mean you have to hear me, understand me"
"I understand you well miko"
"Look at me"
He looked at her "Can you read me?" she asked soft,
Yes and no, he could and could not, he understood but could not figure out,
"You are afraid"
"Very"
"I am not"
"I know, that's what scares me" Kagome admitted
"You fear, for me?"
"Is it sad, I fear more for you than any other"
In real, she did, it is as she said, the bigger you are, the harder you fall. She sent Kikyo and Inuyasha away to gather info, Miroku was off with the monks and Sango was with him, pretending to be on the humans side, and Kagome, Kagome told them all she was going to Sesshomaru.
"Your fear is wasted miko"
"Is it?"
The girl was no longer a girl, he looked at her now with her torn clothing, her solid stand, her bow, the fire in her eyes, she was no longer a girl, she was a woman.
"Sesshomaru, for you to have died, something bad had to happen"
That was truth, and it sent chills down his own spine.
