Inuyasha sat watching protectively over the sleeping form next to him. Although her burses and cuts had long since healed he could still sense the loss of some vital part of her. No longer the fiesty, strong willed girl she once was, looking into her eyes now gave him the sense that she had retreated far into herself where not even he could reach. Having left behind the rest of the group in his single minded persuit of revenge he and Kagome had been traveling since that fatefull day in search of his wreched brother.
The girl stirred, held in the grip of some nightmare that he could guess at far to well. Gently he smoothed her sweaty hair back from her face, gazing down at her troubled features. Sighing sadly he fell back against the tree behind him, still cradeling her in his lap as if she were some precious jewel that might disapear.
"I must get stronger" he muttered, his youthfull face taking on a hard edge. "If I were stronger then I'd have been able to protect you...Why don't you hate me for failing you?" He questioned, his fingers running though her hair as if of their own will. In his lap the girl calmed slowly untill her breathing was deep and regular once more. His free hand clenched into a fist, claws digging into the dirt and grass beneath them. "Why do you...still trust me?"
She looked so peacefull when she slept, all of the waryness in her eyes hidden by slumber, the taunt lines of her face falling into relaxation and the now nearly wild cloud of dark hair billowing around her now pale face. She shifted in her sleep, curling more tightly into herself even as one arm creeped out to circle around his waist holding him tightly.
Sighing he began to pull back to a safe distance knowing that this was a sign she'd soon be waking. He remembered too well what had happened the last time she'd awoken in such a posture...yet while she was asleep it seemed to sooth her, make her rest less tormented by memories of...that day...
Setting her carefully down beside him he rose and stretching began to sniff the air. No matter how much stronger his "brother" was everyone left behind a trail of scent. Lately it seemed that he was getting closer...at least the scent had been stronger each day. Looking around he slipped into the trees, scouting around for any signs he might be able to put to use.
Sesshoumaru snarled from where he stood, screaned by trees opposit the way Inuyasha had just gone. "That baka doesn't know when to admit defeat...and to bring...her...with him..." His sensual lips tightened cruely as his eyes settled on Kagome as his mind raced, trying to understand why he couldn't get the image of her eyes widened in fear as he crushed her slender little body into his own out of his mind.
Growling he stepped forward, "What hold could that pathetic little human witch possibly have over me?" Moving slowly to avoid alerting the hanyu he crept up beside her. "Surely it's only the effect using her has on my half brother" he muttered. "she may yet prove usefull..."
Kagome yawned, stretching to relieve the ache sleeping on the ground always seemed to leave her with. Sleepily she turned, fliping onto her back and reaching up to rub the sleep from her tired eyes. As they opened an all to familiar form began to come into focus, self rightious smirk and all. "No! It's a dream, it has to be!" Even as she tried to convince herself her mouth opened to scream.
"INUYASHA!" she shrieked, darting up and backing away from Sesshoumaru so fast that she triped, landing hard and gasping for breath even as she continued to try and put as much distance between them as possible.
The youkai's smirk didn't budge even as his eyes glittered dangerously. "Bad move bitch" he whispered into her ear before she had even seen him move. Before she had time to react his arms were around her, lifting her into the air crushed against him and they were moving.
Not to far away the weary hanyu was searching for anything that would lead him to his brother when Kagome's scream shattered the morning quiet. Turning quickly he flew back to reach her side, thinking that maybe he had left to soon and she had been caught in the grip of yet another nightmare. When he reached the spot he'd left her scant seconds earlier his heart froze in his chest.
Franticly he searched the surrounding area for her, his mind refusing to acknowledge the fact that she was gone. "baka baka baka!" his mind chanted over and over. "Never should have left her!"
Even as he searched, trying desperatly to pick up her trail his heart lay cold and silent in his chest, knowing that it was hopeless. Unless he could find Sesshoumaru he'd never see her again...and he was just now beginning to realize how much that ment to him...
