Chapter 6: Broken Angels
 
Kagome ate her dinner in silence, as did the others, not wanting to cause much immature commotion. Kagome completely understood that since Sesshomaru was mated, contact with any other female but his own was fatal. Erina had every right to claim him as hers and he did posses that same right. She had no say in this; nothing could possibly diminish the bonds of two mated inuyoukai.
 
“Good evening Lord Sesshomaru” said Jaken as he entered the dinning area
“Good evening, Jaken” he responded and Jaken looked around the table
“Aw, my lady Kagome, you have returned”
“Jaken, you are too kind, I do not hold that title”
“Well, my lady, you should be holding that title, it only belongs to you”
“Jaken, you would do well to stop trying to sugar coat her, my love has said he did not love her”
“Do not put words in my mouth” Sesshomaru growled and Erina was taken aback
“What do you mean by that? You couldn't have possibly ever loved that filthy angel”
“I d” started Sesshomaru but was quickly cut off by Kagome
“Why don't we discuss this some other time, I am sure my companions, you, and myself would like to have this great meal in our stomach before any more unnecessary arguments…”
“Humph” she grunted and continued eating in silence
 
“Well, if you would excuse me, i will retire to my bed now” Kagome said, getting up and left the others
 
A couple minutes later, Sesshomaru also excused himself from the table, `claiming' to have much work to finish and bidding his wife a good night. She only nodded, a little suspicious but not suspicious enough to go following him. She only continued talking to Kykio, who seemed to haven a pretty decent conversation going about expensive jewelry and where it could be found.
 
As Kagome finished changing her kimono into a sleeping robe, she heard a knock come to her door. She yawned before going to open the door. It was Sesshomaru and what he did was very strange. He looked to the sides and then planted a large kiss on her lips. She screeched out of surprise but his lips onto cut off any possible audible noise. She surprised, fell back against the wall and he deepened the kiss, licking the sides of her lips before taking on the exploration of her sugary deeps.
 
She pushed him back, hard enough for him to acknowledge the need of air and complying. She tried to regain her breath quickly before starting to speak.
 
“Sesshomaru, what do you think you're doing?”
“Kissing you?” he asked with a youthful smile
“No, Sesshomaru, no, go away, now”
“You don't want me to go away”
“So, what, you can read peoples minds or something?”
“No, but I can sense emotions”
“Good, so you should sense that I'm very angry at you”
“No, you're aroused and surprised”
“Don't get smart with me Sesshomaru, what do you think you're doing?”
“Taking possession of what belongs to me”
“If you where doing that, you would be down two hallways down and to the 3rd room on the right, Sesshomaru”
 
“I, Sesshomaru have no need of that woman, I want you, and you are the one I want” he growled, cornering her minute by minute
“Sesshomaru, be a good boy and sit” she said and he complied
“I, Sesshomaru of the Western lands will make you my mate; I have no need for that woman”
“She bore you, your children”
“Those children are not mine”
“Yes they are Sesshomaru, come on now, don't say that”
“They aren't mine, they are from a previous mate, when he died, they bonds broke as purposed and she was offered to me, I had no knowledge of the children until the bonding was complete”
“Then, why did she say they were yours?”
“To make you jealous”
“To make me jealous? Ha-ha, that's really funny, why would I be jealous?”
 
“You have no desire to bare my heir?” whispered Sesshomaru, gazing at his hands
“No, I don't mean it like that…it's just that…”
“So, you will bear my children?”
“I would have, if I was your mate, I guess, but I'm not, stop confusing me!” she exclaimed, her thoughts coming in knots that she couldn't think straight
“Right…if you were, please forgive my behavior, have a good night” he whispered sentimentally and got up to leave
“Sesshomaru! Wait!” she said and he looked at her and she breathed deeply, it was now or never “I love you Sesshomaru, I always have, that kiss meant a lot to me and I thank you for respecting my precaution”
 
He smiled weakly before exciting the room with forming tears in his eyes.
 
He wouldn't cry for me? Would he? she though momentarily and then shook her head negatively.
 
After a couple minutes, Rin came into the room and crawled into the bed, her tired eyes quickly closing. Kagome smiled down at the child and then walked to the balcony. The darkness was totally covering over many trees, leaving everything in the solitude of the pitch black light. Kagome breathed in some air and got a low rumble in her chest which emanated to a loud cough, a harsh painful cough which took her breath away.
 
Kagome tried to stop coughing but she couldn't, her body growing weaker and weaker by the moment, she felt as if she would collapse. She could hear Rin scream down the hall for some help which got the maids into the room as quickly as possible, holding Kagome and handing her a cloth to cough in to. When she finished coughing, she stood up and apologized, telling them to go back to bed before fainting into the arms of one of the maids and everything going pitch black.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!” yelled Jaken down the hallway, looking for his master
“What is it Jaken?” said Sesshomaru, coming out of his study, a little annoyed
“Tragic news, sir, Kagome-san has fallen very ill and she has fainted!”
 
Sesshomaru quickly rushed to the room, the maids holding her hand and checking for her pulse, he touched her head and ordered a maid to get a wet towel, so he could cool down the fired fever. Kykio and Sango came in, rambling about how she was sick and they were so worried and other things that went unnoticed by the great stoic lord. Her skin was flushed and she was hot, burning was her skin.
 
“Jaken, get the local physician here immediately!” said Sesshomaru and Jaken quickly complied, running to the nearby village which was a couple miles away from the castle.
 
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, he didn't like this, he didn't like this one bit. He looked over at Kykio and Sango as they carried on their conversation. When they noticed they looked at him with clueless eyes and he just turned and gave them a cold shoulder. A couple minutes later, Jaken came running in with the physician and she looked at the girl carefully before making orders.
 
“I would prefer if everyone excited the room, this will take a room free of panic” she said and everyone proceeded out but Sesshomaru
“Listen, lady, if anything happens to my Kagome I will personally tear you apart” he spat and Kykio and Sango held on to him and forcefully pulled him out the room, the doctor shutting the door behind them.
------------------------------------------------
A Couple Hours Later…
 
The smell of blood was thick in the air, a putrid smell that made Sesshomaru nearly sick. The physician suddenly opened the door and saw Kykio, Sango, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Jaken, and Rin sitting on the floor, standing, and sitting on the window seals. Everyone quieted as they saw the physician come out, her sleeves pulled up and her hair sticking to her face slightly. She had a look, a look that just told everyone this couldn't be good.
 
“Speak woman!” ordered Sesshomaru, tired of her silence
“I am sorry, I couldn't do much…” she started
“She's not dead is she?” asked Rin very much concerned
“No, little one, she's not dead” she answered and everyone let out a breath of relief
“So, what is wrong with her?”
“It is something with her lungs…in the Far East, they call it tuberculosis”
“Tuberculosis? What causes it?” asked Sango
“I hear it's a bacteria that lives in the areas of pure blood”
“Such as the lungs…” said Sesshomaru
“Right”
“So, what are the symptoms?” asked Miroku
“Symptoms include, coughing blood, fever, night sweats, fatigues, weight loss, shortness of breath, and chest pains…”
 
“Is it curable?”
“As of know, it is not known to me a way to cure it, it's extremely rare so it's hard to say…I left some things in her room, chamomile for reducing her fever and putting her to sleep, she is to take only two cups a day, no more, because it will induce vomiting. She needs rest, lots of it, she doesn't need to be bed bound but she should that a nap and then sleep regularly. I left wild mint for treating tuberculosis but I can't assure it will kill it but it will subdue it. In conclusion, I left her some angelica which is to be used only if her coughs get bad and if she becomes pregnant, stop the use and stick to the other two. I left the herbs and instructions in the room and if you have any more questions or concerns just contact me. Also, if she gets any allergic reactions, just let her reduce the dosage or stop completely and then I'll find something else”
“Thank you, doctor” said Miroku and she smiled
“You're welcomed” she said and excused herself
 
Sesshomaru went into the room and shut the door behind him, letting everyone know that this was a personal thing and he didn't need them in there right now. He kneeled beside the bed and took one of her limp hands into his. He looked at her pale face and always cried, this wasn't right, this shouldn't be right. She looked so peaceful though, as if she was thinking or dreaming of something very amusing or very calm.
 
“Kagome…I hope you can hear me but I love you and if anything ever happened to you. I just don't know what I would do” he whispered and closed his eyes and kissed her hand
“Sesshomaru?” a faint whisper came and his eyes opened, Kagome's half lidded ones holding much pain
“Kagome, you're awake” he said more firmly and she gave him a weak smile
“I am, I just feel so worthless”
“You don't know how much you mean to me, you mean more than the whole world, more that my swords, my title, more than this Lord Sesshomaru could even put into words”
“I-I just need to sleep…I'm so tired”
“Sleep, my little angel, don't let me keep you, I'll see you in the morning”
“Ok, ok” she whispered and hugged a pillow, falling asleep.
