Chapter 5: True Nature

 

“Kagome?” Sesshomaru's voice echoed in her mind. “Kagome…” Kagome opened her eyes to find herself tied to a wall. She sat on the floor with her hands chained above her head to the wall. “Kagome. What's going on?”

 

Kagome coughed, her throat feeling dry. “Where am I?” she asked.

 

“Kagome. Listen. You have to tell me where you are.”

 

“Sesshomaru?”

 

“Kagome. Can you hear me?”

 

“Yes, I can hear you.”

 

“Kagome answer me.”

 

“I guess he can't hear me, but I can hear him,” Kagome sighed. The door in front of her opened and Naraku entered.

 

“You're finally awake. I'm glad. A lone of demons can't wait to see you,” Naraku smirked.

 

“What do you want with me?”

 

“Let me show you a picture of our biggest enemy.” Naraku pulled out a picture of a beautiful woman in a priestess uniform. “This is Kikyo. She is the priestess that condemned the whole demon race down here. As you can see you look exactly like her. Demons want a piece of her and just to torture Inuyasha, you are going to be the main dish for a pack of us.”

 

Kagome stared at the picture in shock. This couldn't be happening to her. Why her?

 

“Don't worry. The pain will stop soon enough.” Naraku reached up to untie her and her arms fell by her side. They were really sore. Naraku reached out to grab her, but hit an invisible barrier.

 

“What?! Take down this barrier!” Naraku ordered. Kagome watched in amazement, the barrier that crackled around her. She sighed in relief and rubbed her raw wrists.

 

“Sesshomaru! Are you there?” Kagome yelled.

 

“Kagome! Can you hear me? Where are you?” Sesshomaru asked urgently.

 

“I can hear you. Naraku has me. Please help me,” Kagome pleaded.

 

“Okay. Stay calm. I will come get you right away.”

 

“Please hurry. I can't wait much longer.” Suddenly a loud crash was heard outside the little room Kagome and Naraku were in. Inuyasha ran inside and attacked Naraku. Snarls and growls rang out around the room as Kagome tried to get past them.

 

“Kagome. Get out of there. You will be killed if you stay,” Sesshomaru ordered.

 

“I'm trying. I can't get passed them,” Kagome cried. Naraku got free from Inuyasha and got a hold of Kagome. He took his claws to her throat and smirked at Inuyasha.

 

“One wrong move and the human dies,” Naraku threatened. Inuyasha stared at Kagome trying to figure out what to do next. Sesshomaru appeared behind Naraku, making Naraku release Kagome immediately. She fell forward into Inuyasha and he caught her. He carried her out of the room and took her back to his home. Sesshomaru followed soon after. Inuyasha set Kagome down on the couch in their living room.

 

Kagome began sobbing into Inuyasha's chest feeling relief flood her whole body. Sesshomaru stood a short distance away growing jealous. He didn't want to see Kagome clinging to his brother and not him.

 

“It's okay now. You're safe now,” Inuyasha whispered rubbing her back soothingly.

 

“I thought I was going to die. I really thought this was my last day alive,” Kagome cried.

 

“Don't worry. Sesshomaru took care of Naraku. He won't hurt you again,” Inuyasha promised.

 

Kagome looked up from Inuyasha's hold and looked at Sesshomaru. He just stood there with his usual blank face. Why wouldn't he show emotion to anyone? She decided to ignore it and wiped her eyes. She backed away from Inuyasha and smiled reassuringly.

 

Sesshomaru could barely stand it. He didn't want Kagome smiling to Inuyasha like that. He wanted Kagome to only smile to him. Kagome sighed and stood.

 

“Will you take me home Sesshomaru?” Kagome asked walking over to him.

 

“Okay. I'll take you home,” Sesshomaru stated. He grabbed her and they disappeared together. Kagome stepped away from Sesshomaru after they arrived in her apartment. Sesshomaru kept a hold on her though. She looked up at him in confusion.

 

“Don't look,” he demanded and Kagome immediately turned her eyes away from his face. She felt his nose in her hair and closed her eyes. She couldn't believe he was actually doing this.

 

“Kagome, don't look at Inuyasha with that face. I only want you to smile at me like that.”

 

Kagome froze. She didn't understand. This was Sesshomaru. The very same demon that hates humans and shows no emotion.

 

“You're my perfect meal Kagome. Demons feel all kinds of emotions for their perfect meal. Not only hunger, but lust, hate, happiness, sadness, and even love on rare occasions.”

 

Kagome gasped. Was this a love confession? Did he really feel all those emotions for her?

 

“Sesshomaru… I…” Kagome couldn't finish what she was saying because she was so shocked.

 

“You take down all my defenses. I become under your control when I smell you around. I absolutely loathe you for having this control over me, but at the same time I like it.”

 

Kagome stood there very still as he tightened his grip on her. He still had his face dangerously close to hers. Kagome was completely flattered by this. He was the most beautiful being she had ever seen and she had to admit it was almost love at first sight. She just didn't want him to lose control and never want to get too close to her ever again.

 

“What about your self-control? What if you lose control one day and never want to see me again?” Kagome voice what was going on in her mind.

 

“I will protect you Kagome. Even from myself. This feeling is just too strong to ignore.”

 

“How will this work though?”

 

“I am under your control Kagome. I will do anything you say.” Sesshomaru was completely surrendering himself to Kagome and she didn't know what she should do.

 

“Give me sometime to think what will work in this kind of situation.”

 

“As you wish.”

 

“Thank you Sesshomaru.”

One week. It had been one week since she had any contact with Sesshomaru and that did not put her in a good mood. Why hadn't he tried to talk to her at all?

 

“Kagome! Hey! How are you?” Sango asked.

 

“I'm pissed, but good. How are you?” Kagome said smiling.

 

“I'm fine. Why are you pissed?”

 

“Because this guy I know basically confesses his love for me and doesn't even talk to me for a whole week!”

 

“I'm sure there's a reason for that.”

 

“How come he couldn't at least tell me something?”

 

“Don't worry about it Kags. You know how stupid men are.”

 

“You're right Sango. Thanks for calming me down.”

 

“Come on. Let's go shopping for some new clothes. That'll get your mind off of things.”

 

Suddenly Inuyasha walked into the coffee shop where Kagome and Sango sat. He walked up to Kagome with a concerned look on his face.

 

“What's going on Inuyasha?” Kagome asked standing.

 

“It's Sesshomaru. He's lost control of himself. It doesn't happen very often, but now he isn't snapping out of it,” Inuyasha stated.

 

“What? How can I help?” Kagome asked.

 

“Come with me,” Inuyasha sighed. Kagome said goodbye to Sango and followed Inuyasha outside. They made it to the demon realm with Kagome riding on Inuyasha's back.

 

“Don't worry. This time you won't be hunted by the whole city. They won't even know you're here,” Inuyasha said. He carried her all the way to his house and set her down in front of Sesshomaru's room. Kagome reached for the door and heard a growling noise from the other side.

 

Kagome opened the door and was shocked at the sight before her. Sesshomaru sat on his couch gripping the cushions. His eyes were pure blood red and his mouth was turned into a sharp snarl. Kagome took one step into the room and his head snapped up. His eyes focused on her and she tried to keep her fear hidden. Within a second Sesshomaru was in front of her his arms locking her body against his. Kagome cried out when she felt his fangs lightly tracing her neck. Inuyasha growled loudly to get Sesshomaru's attention. It worked. Sesshomaru lifted his head up and narrowed his eyes on Inuyasha.

 

Kagome fell to her knees when Sesshomaru disappeared and heard what sounded like a gun shot bang behind her. Sesshomaru had Inuyasha pinned under him. Kagome watched in horror as they fought against each other. Kagome let out a squeal when they landed right next to her. Sesshomaru's focus went back to her and he leapt up. Inuyasha grabbed a hold of Sesshomaru's hair, pulling him back into a headlock. This was not what Inuyasha had planned.

 

A sickening crack was heard as Sesshomaru twisted out of his brother's hold and Inuyasha cried out in pain. His arm fell limply at his side now broken.

 

“Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled before Sesshomaru had her in his grasp once again. A low growl softly emitted from Sesshomaru's throat calming Kagome down.

 

“Sesshomaru. Please wake up. Snap out of it,” Kagome begged gripping onto his clothing. Sesshomaru suddenly went very still as a thread snapped in his head. Slowly the blood began to seep out of Sesshomaru's eyes.

 

Sesshomaru released Kagome and she ran over to Inuyasha. “Are you alright? We need to get you to a hospital!”

 

“I'm fine Kagome. I just need to pop the bone back in place.” Inuyasha then gripped his wrist and straightened out his arm with another sickening sound.

 

“Get out…”

 

Kagome looked up and Sesshomaru's back and saw his shoulders shaking as if he were fighting for control of himself.

 

“I'll take you home Kagome.” Inuyasha stood and held out a hand for Kagome. She ignored the hand and went closer to Sesshomaru. She reached out a hand to touch him.

 

“Don't touch me! Get out!” Sesshomaru snarled wheeling around at her.

 

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the waist and out of the way of Sesshomaru. He pulled Kagome onto his back and returned her home.

 

“I'm so sorry Kagome…” Sesshomaru whispered.
