Chapter 29: Miracle


"This Sesshoumaru does not need your pity, miko."

Kagome gasped. "Never." Again she hadn't expected him to talk to her. At least this time she didn't fall on her butt. She reached her hands out to try to assist him in getting up, but quickly pulled them back. You just don't touch Sesshoumaru. "Lord Sesshoumaru, can you get up and come with me, please?"

Finally the demon lord moved from the position the men had pinned him in. All the men in the circle around them were on edge as the demon lord stood up gracefully, despite the pain he must have been in. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the miko still kneeling at his feet. Kagome stood then whispering loud enough for him to hear, "Thank you."

"Lead the way." Kagome told Rolf.

"I will not turn my back on that animal." he stated.

Kagome growled, "He could just as easily kill you from the front. It's a miracle he hasn't yet." as she walked past him and his goons towards the exit. She was still alive and Sesshoumaru was following her, his aura sparked against her miko shield.
