Chapter 10 - Slip Of The Tongue

Sesshomaru stared down at the lifeless body before him, and for the very first time in his life he felt the cold hard slap of regret sink deep into his soul. He was so riled up by her that he hadn't even thought before he acted and it made things extremely difficult for him, because not only did he not want this feeling but he also wanted to talk to the girl. Sighing he stood and withdrew the life giving blade Tensaiga and swiped it over her body, but the sword as it had done on many ocasion refused to work.
"What! why wont you work!" he growled at the sword, in return he flet a sudden jolt of power in his hand... his sword had just attacked him.
'Well thats new....' commented his beast as he stated at the sword from within his cage.
'What is going on! first this blasted thing refuses to work now it is attacking this Sesshonarus' person!'
'Seems that way don't it' his beast Chuckled, for once he was glad that his master kept him caged, because while caged he felt nothing and that shock had to have hurt.
'If it wern't for the fact this was a legacy of my fathers i would have this melted down for scrap!' he growled out to his beast and recieved another jolt.
'Well i don't think it likes that idea very much' his beast chuckled.
He mentaly glared at his beast 'You seem to find all this highly amusing' in reply he got a grin, 'you forget one thing though beast' he said.
'And what is that' his beast grinned.
'If the sword will not work then the girl stays dead' that seemed to sober his beast as the grin died to be replaced by wide eyes and flattened ears.
'NO! you have to save her! NOW!' his beast growled out in a whimper, '... please master, save her... i like her'
Sesshomarus' eyes widened, his beast never said please for anything... EVER, and now he was saying it to save a human girls life which he had accidentaly taken, 'I would if this blasted thing would work!'
'Please master, try everything' his beast pleaded.
'WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM DOING! I DO NOT WISH FOR HER TO DIE EITHER BUT THIS DAMN THING IT STILL REMAINING DORMANT! WHAT ELSE CAN I DO!' he finally snapped at his beast, "I do not want her gone" he whispered.

The sword hummed to life and let of a warm glow that spead warmth through out his entire being, Sesshomaru blinked in surprise and shook his head to clear his thoughts; with a quick clean stoke above her body he waited on baited breath. When she took in a greedy gulp or air he released the breath he hadn't realised he had held and he felt nothing short of relief when she opened her eyes and turned them to stare straight at him.
"What happened?" Asked Kagome groggily as she sat up, "I feel like i've been hit by a truck"
Sesshomaru silently wondered what a truck was but mentaly shugged it of, he would ask her of it later, "You died." was his short, to the point answer.
Her head snapped up to look at him with wide eyes, "How?" she managed to squeak out as bits and peices of the previous events came back to her.
"The dead Miko followed you and attepted to end your life, almost succeeding as well had it not been for me removing you from harms way. But unfortunately, there was a complication when i pulled you down." He said, slightly shifting where he stood, a clear sign of nervousness.
"What happened Sesshomaru, please tell me," she softly begged.
"In my riled state i forgot to retract my claws and they were fully elngated when i pulled you down." he said looking anywhere but at her face, the guilt he felt when he did was almost overwhelming.
Her hand came up to cover the gasp that came from the news of her recent demise, her mind spinning in a whirl of emotions; what should she feel, Anger? Thankfulness? Irritation? but none of them she was feeling. What she was feeling was a warmth that spread through out her body and made her heart flutter, was she starting to develope feelings for the stotic lord already? He had killed her by trying to save her, and by looking at his current posture he felt extremely guilty for it; his normaly regal posture was slightly slumped and he refused to look her at all. Smiling Kagome stood and walked behind the Taiyoukai and wrapped her arms around his waist, noticing the way he instantly stiffened she spoke as to not make him feel worse than he did.
"Thank you," She whispered, "Even after everything i said to you, you still tried to save me; so thank you Sesshomaru" her grip tightened slightly before she let go and turned to walk back towards the village, if she had of looked back she would have seen a wide eyed Taiyoukai turn around with the most adorable blush staining his usual porceline face.

Kagome returned to the village to be crushed into a pair of strong arms before she could blink, "Are you ok Kagome? she didnt hurt you did she?" The Hanyou asked franticaly looking her over for injury.
"I'm fine Inuyasha, just tired is all. I got away from Kikyo with sesshomaru's help." She sighed as she felt him stiffen. '5...4...3...2...1'
"WHAT!" he yelled.
'Right on que' she thought, mentaly rolling her eyes, 'always so predictable, he's never going to learn... hmmm mabye i'll get a squirter bottle like i use on Buyo' she thought completly ignoring the Hanyou and giggled at her thoughts.
"HEY! are you listening to me!? Kagome!" Inuyasha huffed.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, what did you say?" she asked, completly oblivious to all but her own private thoughts.
"What's wrong with you, you're spacin out a lot more; how can we collect the damn shards if you ain't payin attention!" 'Oh shit... ok bad thing to say' he mental berated himself as he watched the now well known 'sitting smile'.
"You know what Inuyasha, you're right... i am spacing out a lot more but that's MY business, and another thing, I..." she never got to finish her scentance as her hand were suddenly clasped into someones hands.

She blinked as she looked at the hands and then up at Koga, "oh... hi Koga" she said with a confused blink, when had he arrived?
"How's my woman" he asked with a fang filled grin.
"HEY FLEA BAG, SHE AIN'T YOUR WOMAN!" Inuyasha yelled from behind the Wolf demon.
Koga turned around, "you still here mutt face? why don't you run along and leave Kagome's protection to a real man" Koga cockily replied.
"Oh yea! well at least i ain't dumb enough not to take a hint that i ain't wanted," he growled back.
"Are you saying that my woman doesn't want me?" Koga growled back, turning to completely face his rival.
Inuyasha smirked, "That's exactly what i'm sayin ya mangy wolf!"
"Why you good for nothin half breed! why would she want you when she could have a REAL man! and a powerful full demon like me!" Koga stated puffing out his chest.
Inuyasha laughed, "trust you to think so highly of yourself, you probly think you can have any woman; well you can't have this one! she's off limits she's mine!" he growled out
"The hell she is! she's my woman! if you wanna claim her you gotta fight for her!" Koga challanged him.
"I never thought you would ask." He grinned and prepaired to attack.
"THAT IS IT!!" Kagome yelled stopping both men in their tracks, "I have had just about ENOUGH of this ego driven posturing! let me tell you both something" she stated first turning to Koga.
"You! i will NEVER be you woman Koga, i'm you friend and I only every will you your friend. If you can't understand that then mabye you'll understand this, i refuse your courting; you are unworthly to be my mate but are a worthy and trusted ally and i don't want that to change," she told him gently but firmly and her heart clenched as she watched his face fall and the hurt plainly visible in his eyes.
She turned to the Hanyou when she heard sniggering, "and YOU!" she said pointing an accusing finger at the now frightened Hanyou, "You need to keep you're emotions in check mister! that means NO becomming jealous whenever Koga comes to visit, NO blowing up at me cause you've had a bad day or we didn't find a shard or some crap like that and STOP ACTING LIKE A DAMN CHILD AND SO OVERPROTECTIVE! i mean GOD... even SESSHOMARU would be better as my mate then either of you two, at lest HE listens!" as soon as the words had left her mouth her hands came up to slap over them but it was to late.... the words had been said.
