Chapter Thirteen The Fear of Death is Over-Powered

~ Sesshomaru ~

It had been two days and she still slept, I thought to myself. Ever since she had taken on the dark ones blood that coursed through her veins. I turned my eyes as I heard another muffled curse come my idiotic brother. Inuyasha had indeed been badly wounded but with the dark ones servant, he was healing just fine.

"Stupid hanyou." I heard the servant yell but ever so slowly all else vanished as my golden eyes once again landed on the Miko's now moving form. I'm not sure why I did not just get up and walk away but I found myself lowering to my knees in order to be near her when she fully awoke upon the weird thing Inuyasha said the Miko used to sleep in. He had called it a sleeping bag.

~ Kagome ~

I awoke to a pair of warm golden eyes looking into my dark ones. My first thought was Inuyasha but yet deep in my heart I hoped it was someone else. As I fully realized who I was looking at, I realized my heart had gotten its wish.

I tried to rise but I found myself too weak to move at that precise moment. That was when I remembered everything. Everything I had done when I had taken his blood through my veins and allowed it to control. I could still taste the blood of the vile demon I had slain. And I realized then, I still craved the blood.

" Sesshomaru what have I done?"

I felt the tears start to slide down my pale cheeks as I lowered my eyes in shame. I felt his warm clawed hand slide gently down my face and wipe away my warm salty tears.

"Do not cry!"

As I listened to his words that sounded like a order, I smiled up at him realizing the Youkai was trying to be kind and realizing just how much my fragile heart needed that kindness.

~ Makura ~

I knew the moment the Miko awoke just by the shift in her heartbeat. I also smelled the young woman's pain filled tears. I realized Inuyasha must have smelt her tears as well because instead of jumping up and running to her. He instead lowered his ears as if he were being punished.

The Miko was very luck I thought to have the love of theses brothers. Even the youkai Sesshomaru loved her though he had as of yet to realize it himself. I raised my head taking notice of Inuyasha lowered eyes and ears and did my best to comfort him.

"Inuyasha her tears are not your fault."

"What do you know about it wench. Is it not my fault he has bitten her so many times and his blood can now taint her purity? Or maybe that's what you want? Of course, it is. You are his servant none the less."

I listened to the hanyou's hate filled words, feeling a small prick to my heart.

"Inuyasha I know how it feels to see someone crying and feeling you are to blame. Do you remember when I told you my village kicked my mother out? Well, I watched her cry her shame but yet there was nothing I could do. I felt it was my fault. So do not say I don't know because I do and it was my fault."

I turned away from his sexy worried filled eyes golden eyes. As I turned, I felt his hand grab mine.

" Feh, wench I will not say that again."

I knew this was Inuyasha's way of saying he was sorry. I turned my eyes back to his golden orbs.

"It's okay, Inuyasha. I realize Kagome means a lot to you."

I felt his warmth leave me as he let go of my small delicate wrist.

"Inuyasha!"

I realized then that the young Miko had just yelled at Inuyasha. I turned slowly away from the hanyou.

~ Inuyasha ~

I felt her beautiful eyes leave me as Kagome yelled for me. When I had grabbed her hand, I realized I had not wanted to let go. My thoughts quickly turned back to Kagome as she yelled my name again.

"I'm here, Kagome."

My brother would not allow the Miko to stand so I found myself lowering to my knees and realized then my brother was also lowered to his. How interesting, a female that finally brought him to his knees. I smirked at the thought.

"Inuyasha, tell your brother to allow me up."

Before I would have automatically started to yell and try to fight my brother but in this instance, I knew he was right. I could tell by Kagome's still pale cheeks that she was still not back to her full strength. Also, ever since he and I had started to fight for the same cause we had seemed to come to an understanding of some sorts. Maybe you could call it a truce.

"Kagome maybe you should lie still for a little while."

"Inuyasha!"

I was just waiting for the word. I could almost hear her now. I realized I had my eyes closed. So, I quickly opened them. As I did, I realized I was starting at a very happy Kagome.

"Inuyasha, did you just agree with your brother?"

I realized then what she was talking about, and almost felt myself growl but I held it back as I answered her.

"Yes, wench I did, now lie down and get some rest."

I stood slowly not wanting Kagome to see the worry in my eyes as I heard her hiss and lay back down. I realized she was too pale, too weak as I walked away. Kagome I hope you are okay. I can't lose you now. I thought to myself as a tear slide down my cheek.

~ Kagome ~

I watched Inuyasha stand and walk away. I could see the worry in his eyes even though I have the feeling he was trying to hide it from me.

As Inuyasha walked away, I remembered the reason I had yelled for him in the first place. I remembered the feeling that slid through me as Sesshoumaru wiped away my tears of shame. Feelings that I was afraid were very close to love as I rolled over and slid into a sleep. A sleep, which I knew, he awaited.

~ Dream world ~

I opened my eyes once again and found myself lying in Reishi's huge silky bed. I turned my eyes to the figure that was lying so near my body.

"Kagome, allow me to heal you, allow me to make you complete."

I felt his warm hand slide down my cheek just as Sesshoumaru had so recently done with thoughts of Sesshoumaru still on my mind. I pulled away breaking his spell for the very first time.

"No, I will not allow you to have any more control over me."

"Kagome you have no choice now. Even though I have only bitten you three times, you turned. Now there is no going back, my blood must be finished or else you will die."

I realized what he was saying. No I thought, this cannot be happening.

"Are you telling me because I changed just once I must allow you to turn me or I will die?"

"Yes, I am sorry."

"You're sorry…?"

I could feel my anger build. I could feel the hurt, the pain all at once rush through my body as if I was a bomb waiting to explode. Maybe I was.

"Your sorry, you trick me, you low down piece of trash. You were the one who said allow me to help you. I should have realized there would have been a fucking price to pay. Well guess what, I would prefer to die then join you. So go to hell asshole."

I looked into his eyes as I said those words. I watched the hurt cross his eyes. The hurt that could not even touch my cold heart maybe later it would, maybe when I had time to realize but at that moment, I only wanted to see him hurt. See his pain.

I felt his hands grab my shoulders as he started to shake me.

"I will not allow you to die Kagome. Not this way, not now!"

I pulled away and crawled off of his massive bed.

"Guess what? You have little choice. If you were so worried about whether I lived or died, maybe you should have asked me if I wanted your blood running through my veins, huh? Did you ever think of that? No, of course not, instead you, you…"

That was when I ran out of words or maybe the hurt and pain was finally starting to catch up with me. Maybe the fear of my own death came to me. I'm not sure but I suddenly found myself lying on the floor crying as if there was no tomorrow. As I lay there on the cold hard floor with the dark one standing above me staring down at me, I cried. Cried the tears I needed to let out. In those tears I released my pain and let go of my fear.

As the last tear fell, I crawled back to my feet and stood in front of the prince that could at one time control me with only a kiss.

"You will not win this Reishi. I would die first, do you understand?"

I turned my back and closed my eyes realizing now how to release myself from his dream world.

~ Reishi ~

I looked at the place where Kagome had just stood. I could still hear her pain. I could still feel her fear. I realized then that I loved the Miko. Her courage and her strength were great but her love and honor were stronger then that.

When did I start to let power rule me? When did I start to only look after myself? I closed my eyes and saw once more the image of the beautiful Miko curled into a ball on my hard floor crying out her pain.

I'm not sure what had kept me from her in that particular moment but something had. Maybe I realized she did not want me or maybe I was afraid of her rejection.

~ Sesshomaru ~

As I sat staring down at the Miko, watching her sleep, waiting for the moment when Reishi would enter her dreams. My eyes caught the movement, as she seemed to be struggling. I grabbed her shoulders trying to awaken her from her sleep.

As my hands grabbed her shoulders, I could smell her fear her pain. That was the moment the tears started to fall. I knew Inuyasha and the dark ones servant were now standing behind me.

I turned my eyes from the Miko. "Leave now!"

"Who the hell do you think you are Sesshomaru? Kagome and I have been together for years, I will not be sent away when she needs me most."

I started to reply to my insolent brother's comment but that was when her cries changed from pain to fear. What was she so afraid of I thought. But just as soon as her scent changed the tears disappeared all together.

I turned my eyes back to the Miko, for once not trying to hide the worry in my golden eyes.

"Kagome." I whispered as I slid my hand through her dark locks. I watched her eyes turn to mine as her hand raised to my cheek as well. I watched her dark hopeless filled eyes turn from me to behind me. At first, I thought she was going to call out to my hanyou brother but instead I watched her raise her right hand and create a dark blue barrier around us.

~ Kagome ~

I looked into his eyes and realized that the love I felt for him ran deeper than any love I had ever felt. When did my feelings change for this youkai? Maybe I had always had feelings for him or maybe it was when he took me in and protected me. But whatever the reason I knew I loved him.

As I looked passed him and realized Inuyasha and Makura were standing so close I slid a shield up around us, wanting this one moment. A moment in which I could look into his golden eyes and allowed my feelings to show.

This demon lord had given me something that no one else could. He had given me the love I felt for him now. I had always thought that I could give love so easily but this love that I felt for him was so different from the love I felt for everyone else. The love I feel now for the western lord was over-powering. It gave me the courage to face my own death. It gave me the strength to realize everything would be okay no matter whether I died or not. Because I love him.

I slid my hand down his cheek, smiled into his eyes, and told him.

" Sesshomaru I am going to die."
