Chapter 56: Scars
Kagome tried her hardest to keep from causing him pain as she removed the gauze covering his back, unfortunately some of the scabs had fused with the gauze. Which caused some of the gashes to reopen.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, how long has it been since you were captured?" she asked while she worked.
"427 years."
Kagome gasped, "How?"
"Miko." Sesshoumaru growled and Kagome jumped. She should have know not to ask how he had been captured, it had just slipped out.
"Sorry. How long have you been in America?"
"22 years."
"Has he been doing this to you since you arrived?"
"No."
Kagome taped the new gauze in place, "These are going to leave scars."
"Indeed."
"Don't you care?"
"No."
"I should have assumed you wouldn't care. You never cared about anything... other than your pride of course."
It happened so fast, Kagome didn't have time to even realize he had moved. She was pinned to the floor in a flash, on her back, with a strong grip around her throat, sharp nails pressed into her the flesh of her neck close to piercing. Above her golden eyes began to bleed red and Sesshoumaru growled.
