InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Evanescence Story ❯ Bring Me To Life ( Chapter 5 )

Sesshoumaru left to return to his clan with a heavy heart. He knew that Kagome was meant to be his mate but was now stuck with Naraku until he could afford to rescue her.

As he walked out of the gates he looked back one last time only to see the tears streaking down the young empress’s face.

Kagome resolved herself to the fact that she would have to stay here in hell, though she sincerely prayed that her white knight would come riding back for her soon.

‘I mustn’t get my hopes up; besides could I really live with myself if he is forced to go to war and his people die all because I wanted out of this hell? No I can’t let his innocent people, his clans men suffer Naraku’s wrath for the sake of my happiness.’

He remembered how alive he had felt when around her; her mere presence breathed the essence of life into his body.

Now as the distance grew more and more he was feeling dread in his very soul, he knew their would be no peace for him so long as Kagome was still residing in Naraku’s palace.

‘I will wait for him to screw up, I will have to bide my time and pray that Inuyasha will keep Kagome safe like I have asked.’

With his new mission in mind he set off to his palace so he could start plotting and planning. After all, he did know the Emperor’s palace like the back of his hand and how everything worked; he also knew that no one would really stop him.

Over than next few weeks after Sesshoumaru’s departure Kagome slowly started to shut down. When it was time for court she would just sit there, when Naraku came to bed her she would not fight or respond regardless of how hard he hit or raped her.

Inuyasha noticed that Kagome’s eyes were always so glossed over, as if she were dead internally and just walking around in a body stuck for all eternity.

“A zombie is more responsive then you. I grow tired of this Kagome, do I need to remind you who you belong to and what will happen to your family should I tire of you completely?” Naraku asked, while trying to get a response out of the human woman.

It was the dream world that Kagome lived for. It was the only place that Naraku didn’t hold any influence; it was the only place that she could be with Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru would lay down every night and have a strange sleep consume him. It was as if his very soul needed the rest though he knew not why. However, every night he was brought to paradise as he would be alone with Kagome and they were mated.

Kagome would slowly open her eyes in her dream and every time there would be Sesshoumaru staring straight at her. She would bare her blemish free neck to him in submission, only to have him nuzzle her.

She knew if she could she would stay in her dream world for all eternity, at least until her mortality killed her.

Sesshoumaru could not bare the pain he saw in her eyes every night. He knew she was in hell and there was nothing he could do; it killed him watching and knowing that she was slowly dying as well.

“Their must be something that I can do to save you. Can’t you give me a sign or tell me what will allow me to rescue you without causing a war? I die every morning without you in my arms when I wake up, there must be something more we can do.”

“My Love, I would never be happy if I caused a war. I feel my life is slowly slipping away for I can not bare the pain of you not being with me as well. I am dead without you, there is nothing here to bring me to life.”

Sesshoumaru awake snarling and cursing, the dread that flooded his senses were too powerful and for once in the many weeks since he started having these dreams; he truly wondered if he was actually psychically connected to Kagome in the dream world.

“I can not just sit here and pray that she does not kill herself. I must get her out of there at all cost. My people will understand and they will support me.”

Kagome awoke with a new mission. She would not live one more day here in hell. ‘There is nothing inside me anymore; the only one to bring me to life would create a war. I can not allow that to happen. I shall go down in history as an assign for I will go down with a bang by killing my half mate as well as myself.’
