I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter 6: The Curse
Sesshomaru was awakened right away when he felt that his ears were going to bleed. Inuyasha jumped up on instinct and unshielded Tetsusaiga looking around for demons. What he saw instead was Rin convulsing with pain and Kagome on top of her.
“Stop standing there and staring! Pin her down for me,” shouted Kagome above the scream. Sesshomaru eyes bled red.
“Stop! This is no time for your demon side Sesshomaru! Help me pin her down so I can help her.” Sesshomaru growled. In seconds the male inuyokai have Rin pinned down on her futon. She was still screaming and convulsing terribly. Kagome pulled on the string of her miko power inside of her and let it flow into Rin's body calming Rin down. After two minutes of transferring her power into her, Rin was quiet again. Kagome stopped and felt as if the world was spinning around her.
Rin cracked her eyes opened. She smiled when she saw Sesshomaru but there was still terror in her eyes. “Sesshomaru-sama, Rin is hut. Is Rin going to die again?” asked Rin innocently.
“Course not Rin. I'm going to help you get better,” said Kagome softly
“Kagome-chan! Rin does not know you are here. Kagome-chan going to help Rin?” asked Rin again.
Kagome nodded and said, “Yes. I'm going to help you but first you have to go to sleep like a good little girl okay?”
Rin gave Kagome one of her brilliant smile and went to sleep. Kagome got up and tried to walk but instead she fell. Everything was spinning in her head. Inuyasha saw her and caught her before she hit the ground.
“I'm okay just put me down okay Inuyasha?” said Kagome. Inuyasha didn't believe her but put her down on the floor. Kagome sat crossed leg and started to meditate. Sesshomaru was anxious for answer. His ward was in pain and he couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to shake the miko and ask her questions that needed to be answered but he knew that she was tired after transferring that much energy into Rin and she need to regain her energy. So he waited, and waited. Thirty minutes is a long time when you are bursting with questions. Thirty minutes past and Kagome stopped meditating.
She got up and not even looking at Inuyasha or Sesshomaru she walked over to Rin. She checked Rin's pulse and temperature. She let her hand rest on Rin's chest where the heart is and let a little of her power out and instantly pulled her hands away as if something burned her. She looked up at Sesshomaru and her eyes were clouded.
“I was afraid that I was right,” said Kagome. “What do you mean?” asked Inuyasha who was greatly confused. “Look for yourself,” replied Kagome. She walked over to sleeping Rin and turned her over gently without waking Rin up. Then she pulled one side of Rin's sleeping kimono down to reveal her left shoulder. Kagome closed her eyes and put her palms on Rin's left shoulder and release her power and chanting a little. Minutes later she took away her hands and on Rin's shoulder was a scar.
It wasn't any regular scar either. It was a big hideous scar. It was the one that they saw on Kagura's back. The one that they saw on Kohaku's back in Kaguya's castle. It was the scar that was on Naraku's back.
And now it was on innocent little Rin's back.
Sesshomaru head was swimming of possibilities He was analyzing every possibilities except for one. He didn't one to think of it. Inuyasha eyes widen when he realized what it meant. “No…” he whispered. He was scared. Not for himself. Not for Sesshomaru. Not for Kagome. No he wasn't scared for anyone of them. He was scared for little Rin.
“Yes…” whispered Kagome. There was no denying the facts no. No matter what they think of it or what they want to think of it, a fact is a fact.
Sesshomaru never felt so weak and helpless before. Yes, he Lord of the Western Land. The most powerful of all yokai and taiyokai felt weak and helpless. He promised to protect Rin but he wasn't able to. He let her down.
“She's cursed by Naraku…” whispered Kagome.
Moments later Sesshomaru's feelings went from weak and helpless to anger. He was livid. Never in his life, never, had he felt so angry like this. He wasn't even this angry when he found out that his father is mating a human. He wasn't this angry when he found out that he was having a hanyou brother. He wasn't this angry when father left Tetsusaiga for Inuyasha. Hell no! He wasn't even this angry when Inuyasha slayed his arm.
He felt his beast rising and wanting to take over. He felt the urge to kill. To torture. Right now he want to kill Naraku more then anything because of what he did. He want to rip Naraku into shreds. Then revive him and to kill him again and so on as long as he can. Sesshomaru ran out of the cave and out into the rain.
Kagome watched as Sesshomaru tried to control his beast and ran out of the cave.
“Stay here and watch Rin,” she told Inuyasha before running after Sesshomaru. Inuyasha couldn't protest before she was out of the cave. He was still daze about the current situation and sat down against the wall across from Rin.
~*~
Kagome ran and ran until she sense a very powerful yoki. Kagome walked further on and stopped to peer behind a tree. The sight that she saw made her heart ache. Sesshomaru was in the middle of the clearing on his knees. He was clawing at the grounds. His whole body shaking terribly. The lightning flashed and the thunder boomed. It was raining hard. Sesshomaru lift his head up and howled in anguish. And so she cried.
~*~
Sesshomaru was confused. He didn't know what to do at the moment so he ran. And ran. And ran. He ran until he came to the clearing. He stopped and thought of why the world was so unfair to him. He felt every single drop of rain that fell on him. It felt as if there are teasing him. Mocking him of being unable to protect a human.
When his beast was more tamed he finally noticed his surrounding. That was when he sensed someone nearby. He turned his head in the direction that he sense someone there and saw Inuyasha's wrench crying. Her hands were covering her mouth trying to muffle her sounds. Her body shaking with every sob. Her hair was wet and clung to her as if trying to keep warm. Her knees were shaking uncontrollably. She gave in and slid to the ground and continued to cry.
Putting back on his emotionless façade he walked towards her.
“Why do you cry,” asked Sesshomaru.
“I cry because I can. I cry because you can't. You won't allow yourself to. So I'm going to cry for you, for me, and for Rin,” replied Kagome who was still sobbing.
So the two remained in the rain soaking to the bone. A miko crying her heart out and a taiyokai sinking in everything that just happened. Kagome still kneeled there even after she ceased crying.
~*~
Inuyasha was getting worried. Kagome was gone for a while now and that is not good. She could get really sick from the rain. So he decided to go out and to look at her not thinking of the consequences.
~*~
“We have to get back,” stated Sesshomaru. Kagome nodded and stood up. The two headed back to the cave. Kagome in the front and Sesshomaru a few steps behind. The two walked for awhile. They were almost to the front of the cave and walking down a hill when Kagome tripped. She reached out for something to hold on and Sesshomaru shot his hand out for him. She held on but because the ground is slippery from the rain Sesshomaru was pulled down with her. So the two tumbled down the hill together in a mess.
When they reached the bottom, Sesshomaru was on top of Kagome. His hair fell around them like a curtain. They entangle with her raven hair, contrasting each other. Sesshomaru's face was a couple of centimeters from her. They were both breathing hard after the fall. Kagome was staring into a sea of endless gold.
And that was the position that Inuyasha found them in.
