Kohaku was kneeling between her legs, holding her wrists in his hands. “Kagome, you have to trust me. Let me protect you.” He shoved her back against the fur of the cape, looming over her. “Let me save you from him, before it is too late.”

“I am in no danger, Kohaku, unless it is from you. You need to come to your senses!”

The slayer dug his fingers into her shoulders, giving her a shake with each word he spoke. “He’ll use you, and abandon you. He’s already shown himself for what he is, Kagome! Look at you. He’s the one who has done this to you. What kind of animal would treat his mate that way?”

“He’s a hard man, but I chose him. I have faith in him.”

“Sesshomaru is not a man! He is a demon! A demon, Kagome! He will tear your heart out of your chest, rip it into little pieces, and walk off laughing.”

“He is my mate, and he will protect me, Kohaku. As he has protected you in the past. Remember that he his your Lord, too, and that you owe him your loyalty.” Kagome began to cry.

“I owe that dog nothing.” Kohaku hissed. The fire cast harsh shadows across his face, turning him into a stranger. “For years I’ve been watching you, while you wasted your love on that half-breed Inuyasha. While you have been pining for him, I have been working as hard as I could to prove to you that I could be the man you needed. Do you want wealth? I will get it for you. If it is a Lord you want, that is what I will make myself Kagome. Anything for you.”

Kohaku ran his fingers tenderly down her right cheek, tracing the path of her tears, then backhanded her sharply.

“All you had to do was wait. Just a little longer. But you couldn’t do it, could you? If you needed to get fucked so badly, why didn’t you come to me? I could have given you that too, if that’s what you wanted.” He grasped the thin silk of her kimono, tearing it apart in his hands and leaving her naked beneath him on the fur. Kagome scratched and bit and kicked. The pain from her wounded feet was excruciating, but she persevered. She felt a bone break in the foot that had been pierced through. Kohaku was very strong, very agile, and very fast. There would be no sense in fighting fair against one so much better suited to combat. He grabbed his hands in his, holding them above her head. When he forced his lips down on hers, she bit them viciously, tasting his blood. He cursed and let go of her hands to slap her again. Her head was ringing with the blow, but she managed to reach up and claw at the side of his face, narrowly missing his eye. She grabbed his hair, using it as a handhold to pull herself upward, and secured her teeth in his ear. Kohaku yelled out in rage and grabbed her around her neck, shoving her back roughly again and again, pounding her head against the floor of the cave. Only the fur she rested on kept her skull from being cracked open. Kagome knew she would lose consciousness soon, either from the pounding her head was taking or from the choking hold he had on her neck. If she did, all would be lost. He heard her gasping for air, and released his hold on her throat. He drew back to punch her in the face. She felt her hand make contact with the blade of her sword. She grasped the sharp blade, feeling the pain as it cut deep into her flesh.

Kohaku gasped as he felt the blade penetrate his ribs. Looking into Kagome’s eyes, he pulled his body downward to meet hers, forcing himself down the short, curved length of the blade, until just the hilt of the sword separated his body from Kagome’s. Blood was streaming from Kohaku’s mouth as he pressed his lips to hers.
