He watched in silent pleasure as Kagome woke and struggled to stand. Sango aided her, and Kagome breathed.
"Dont tell me you need to go home, Kagome," Inuyasha huffed.
"Inuyasha," Miroku spoke, "She was hurt; Naraku can wait another day,"
"It is no good for her to fight in her current condition," Sango said,
"Let her go; we can move on," Kikyo coldly spoke.
"Guys, really, I'm ok just sore,"
Sesshomaru said nothing but knew that she would fight, but she would be pretty useless in this state. If it got bad enough, he would have to protect her because these idiots couldn't, and she couldn't protect herself. They were all useless.
He decided to say nothing but began to take the lead of the pack.
Sango and Kagome looked at each other.
"I guess that's the end of that," Miroku said, gathering his staff. The wolves said nothing bit followed after the demon Lord.
Kagome and Sango took up that back. Sesshomaru could hear every grunt she made, every hiss and every sigh. Their journey took them uphill and to rocky terrain. She slipped on sliding rock; Sango caught her hand. "Kagome!"
She was sweating now, her body fighting.
"Clutz," Inuyasha said under his breath.
A small rock met with his head, "I heard that!" Kagome yelled while gaining her footing. Sesshomaru once again gave her credit. It was obvious she needed rest; she was fighting it not to show that them. What was she trying to prove, and to who was she trying to prove it to? It didn't matter if they kept going, she would be useless and not able to fight, and he wanted her engaged. But would good would his toy be if she were dead?"
"We will stop on the flat," Sesshoamru said, which was just up ahead.
"Who died and made you boss!" Inuyasha snapped,
"Father," He was the oldest and the Alpha, "You are welcome to challenge that."
"Inuyasha Kagome does need a rest," Miroku needed a rest; hell, all the humans did. It was well into midday.
The wolves didn't wait; they made their way up to the flat where they all dropped down like tried dogs. They turned into their demonic beings and licked their feet. Sesshomaru also made his way up and stood against rock. Kikyo went further and way, Inuyasha followed. Miroku found slight shade under a well-grown bolder. Sango helped Kagome up then helped her sit before she joined Miroku.
The sun was hot, but Sesshomaru could see clouds forming; rain was on its way.
Kagome laid back, and he moved his eyes to her. She breathed in and out heavy. "Sango, I have no idea how you do this; this outfit is hot,"
She winced, and Sesshomaru took in a deeper breath, "The sweat is stinging,"
"Then change, but stop your moaning," Sesshomaru spoke to her shock,
Kouga took human form and held up the fur with a goofy smile.
"My skirt is dirty but not torn ill put that back on,"
"But, your shirt?" Sango stated,
Kagome looked at Kouga and sighed. She would have to wear one of their leather chest plates, which cover her breast and ribs but leave her hurt midsection exposed. She groaned, but there was no way she could stay in the slayer outfit. Sango helped her. They applied new medication and wrapped her midsection, which would help with the exposer. The plate was tied into place, and she slipped on her skirt.
"I look ridiculous,"
"I duno you kinda looked like a warrior, and it's not much different than Kouga mates outfit,"
She still felt stupid.
They came back, and Sesshomaru eyed her. He was hoping to get an eye full of her midsection, but she took precautions being around the drooling wolves; he could not blame her. She said down and laid back. She was no longer hot and no longer stung. Half an hour ticked by before she shot up.
"A jewel shard,"
Everyone stood ready for battle.
Inuyasha came around the corner, "Where?!"
Kagome looked around. "It's bouncing around and coming in fast," Her eyes darted. "There, no there?"
Inuyasha growled, "Come on Kikyo,"
They bolted in one direction, the wolves in another.
"Wait, guys!" Kagome called,
"I feel something as well," Miroku said. "We will go up,"
"Shouldn't we stay together?" Kagome asked,
"You said it's bouncing. Could it be more than one?"
"It's small,"
"Maybe shards of shards?" Miroku asked,
In a blink, Sesshomaru vanished,
Kagome groaned and stood. "Fine, let's go up,"
Miroku and Sango pressed forward with Kagome slowly behind them. It happened so fast. Small demons with small shards zoomed past, Miroku and Sango took to battle with a super-fast enemy. Kagome tried to get her footing as thunder rolled in the background but lost her footing and landed on her butt. It knocked her breath away but not enough to render her useless; her bow went up.
It was apparent now, these demons meant to separate them, and Sesshomaru flew back just in time to see Kagome slide down the steep rocky hill she had just climbed up. Her grunted cry had his nostrils flaring. Unable to recover fast, a sly fast demon flew up her legs, severing the skin.
She screamed, and blood started to pour, and his eyes bled red with pure, unfiltered pleasure.
But it was her cry that enacted his beast to respond to her need. First, he had to save her; then, he could taste her. There was no way he was going to be able to fight that amount of blood. But hell if he wasn't going to die trying.
She would not bring him to his knees.
