Chapter 8
Kagome decided it would be better to retire for the night; she would speak to Sesshomaru in the morning. Walking as fast as she could out of the ballroom she wasn't even aware she was being followed. Just as she was going to open her bedroom door she felt a presence and turned. When she turned around she was not only surprised but didn't know who was staring her down. She went to take a step back only to be up against her bedroom door.
Lord Kuro was standing there trying to see what the other Lords saw in the ningen. He scowled, humans such a filthy breed he thought to himself. He felt her aura change, was this woman a priestess? How could Lord Sesshomaru stand to have such a woman here they were useless, he had tolerated having his young ward Rin here. She wasn't a threat to him just a pet but this women had caused his plans to unite his eldest daughter with the young Lord.
"C-can I help you?" Kagome finally asked breaking the awkward silence.
"You dare speak to me you filthy ningen. But now that you ask yes, you can die." He raged and grabbed the woman by her neck and was cutting off her air supply.
Wanting to scream or cry out she couldn't, and for some reason her aura was being suppressed. Why couldn't she use her priestess powers? She looked at the demon and tried to see what was blocking it. She was quickly losing consciousness from lack of oxygen. Just before she had blacked out she saw white hair running towards her.
"Sess…" she whimpered and collapsed.
"Backlash wave!" Inuyasha yelled at Lord Kuro. Hitting his mark the Lord was injured and fled out of the castle. He was about to chase after the Lord but saw Kagome laying on the ground and picked her up. Quickly as he feet could carry him he rushed into the healer's room and demanded that they heal her. They all looked at him like he was crazy but Mika had been there and reassured them.
All the women had worked fast as they gave her some potions and mixed some herbs together to help with the bruises left around her neck. Mika had calmed Inuyasha down and had him wait outside of the room. He fought her at first until she explained that they would have to undress her to fully assess her body. Reluctantly he agreed grumbling he sat outside the door waiting for any news. Mika returned to the room and wondered what had happened to the young woman, saddened by her state she wondered if her Lord new and decided that she better inform him.
Mika had went to leave to find Lord Sesshomaru to be stopped by Inuyasha.
"Is she going to be alright?" He asked worried about his best friend.
"I believe so." She retorted, seeing he relaxed and she walked away from the younger brother, she glanced back once. Then she rushed to find the master of the house. As she reached the ballroom doors she stood for a second nervously not sure how to tell her Lord and hoped he would not react badly towards her from the news he was to receive. Opening the doors she thought I might as well get it over with. She found him pondering in his thoughts of earlier events by the other two Lords.
"My Lord." She squeaked.
"Hnn." He looked down at the servant wondering why she could be approaching him. "Speak." He ordered.
"Lady Kagome, she is in the infirmary." She spoke loud enough but kept her eyes looking down.
Without saying anything to Mika or the Lords he left with a swift pace to see what had happened not waiting to get details from the servant.
