Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

"You wish to save me" He questioned,

"I wish to save everyone"

"You can't save the world miko"

"I'm only trying to protect, that is my job"

"Your protecting the wrong people, it is your job to protect them humans from us"

She looked at him hard, she was so confused, his words were true, but, she felt the opposite "No, that's what my job was, in till the humans turned, they are no better than demons"

"So I ask again, whose side are you on"

"Both!" She yelled "Forget me being a miko, I want to protect the innocent!"

"I am not innocent"

"Sesshomaru" She warned,

"The wolf, he is not innocent, the monk, he is not innocent, shall I go on"

"You know what I mean, it's wrong to kill, in my time you have a trial!"

"We are not in your time"

"Why are you so against me?"

"I have killed, many times, why protect me, as you say"

"You don't need protecting right now, I need protecting"

"But you believe there will be a time that you will have to protect me"

She turned from him, what was he doing? "Yes, will you deny me?"

"I, do not need protection"

"You do, you will!" She turned, saying in almost a begging tone "Why are you so against me helping you, because I am human, because I am a woman?"

"I will take my death in honor miko"

"But, what if your death is in vain, for no reason?"

He narrowed his eyes at her "You think I would forfeit my life for so little miko"

There was no way to make him understand, she just shook her head back and forth "But, what if I could save you"

He loomed over her "I will aid you miko, I do not fear death and I shall not die without a fight, if I die it is because of my mistake or my desire to go, if that time comes then my life is not worth value to save, it is not your place, you are miko I am demon, know your place"

How could anyone condemn themselves like that, of course his father was slightly the same way, he died by his own choice, and he probably would have denied help, of course, did anyone offer him help. Tears streamed down her face "How can you say that, you can't tell me, that your life, is not worth fighting for"

He knew Kagome had always seen the good in others, that she always gave everyone a little more than just the benefit of the doubt, she had always be overly optimistic, but this was different, she feared for him, she wanted to save him.

"Why" Was all he said.
