Chapter 10: A Call For Unwanted Help

The blackness began to consume the blue tint that was the sky at the horizon, as the yellow orb disappeared over the edge of the earth. 'It seemed like it happened ages ago…but it has only been a few hours' She sighed as she pulled her sleeve over her forehead, wiping away the sweat that had collected there. Kagome settled down on a rock, putting Tetsusiaga and her large yellow backpack on the ground at her feet.

'I must have traveled miles…. I hope the rest aren't too worried' Kagome had left the rest of the group as soon as she gave up on her dig. She had sat there, in the small crater for about an hour, trying to come to terms on what had occurred. She tried to find a way around her grief, sorrow, and blame, but nothing could change her view on the matter.

Sango's pleas, Shippo's cries and Miroku's reasoning couldn't penetrate her mind. After she finally got some kind of hold on herself, Kagome had climbed out of the crater, clutching Tetsusiaga as though it was her life support. Not bothering to brush off the dirt that had collect on her, she made her way across the clearing to her bag.

Looking at the spot Inuyasha had previously occupied, tears stung the corners of her eyes, and Kagome quickened her pace to collect her things. "Kagome…" Shippo's small, sad voice had called out to her "Where are you going" She had quickly wiped away her tears.

Mustering up a smile she turned towards him. "Away Shippo. I just…have to get away right now" Kagome flung the yellow bag over her shoulder, smiled weakly one last time, and turned away. "Kagome!" Sango had cried, tears now running down her face "You might get hurt…."

"I'll be fine" She turned around again and set of to the west, towards the slowly falling sun.

'And this is where my feet have taken me…to the middle of nowhere' Sighing, Kagome recollected her things, and began walking, figuring she could get a little more ground before it was time to sleep. Her mind was scrambled with billions of thought, possibilities, and what ifs. She was lost in her own head, unsure of her surroundings.

But she was suddenly brought back to reality once a cold chill ran up her spine. Looking around to see what had caused it, she noticed she had walked through a slowly fading, violet barrier. "What have I walked into?" Kagome wondered aloud. Figuring that there was only one direction to go, she kept walking.

Not to far into the dense part of the forest, another chill fell upon her, yet it was different somehow. It did not run up her spine, or through her chest, it was through her hands that she felt the vibration. Looking down, she noticed Tetsusiaga, slightly glowing in its sheath and pulsating. "What's happening to Tetsusiaga?" A strong sense of direction suddenly fell upon her, and Kagome could not help but follow its strong pull.

It led her through thick brush (though there seemed to be a path previously trodden on that she followed), and to a small opening filled with beautiful flowers. The sword began to beat even harder, and she followed Tetsusiaga to another clearing in the forest. Here was a waterfall; glistening in the bit of moonlight the trees would allow passing. The sound of the crushing water was soothing, but Kagome did not dare dawdle and postpone the call Tetsusiaga was making.

Strangely enough, it was pulling Kagome towards the falls. Forming a glowing pink barrier, Kagome stepped through the rushing water. Emerging on the other side, she found herself in a cavern full of tunnels. Not sure where to go first, she trusted Tetsusiaga's sense of navigation and followed its pull.

Kagome walked through the dark, mold crusted tunnels, keeping her eyes peeled for some light in the seemingly endless abyss. Then,a small glimmer of light began to illuminate in the darkness. With every step, Kagome's heart began to beat faster, filled with anxiety and fear. What could be here, of all places?

What force could have called Tetsusiaga to it? Should Kagome trust the sword she held in her hands, or grab hold of some solid reasoning, turn around, and continue safely on her journey to god knows where.

One more turn around the bend, and she would be by the source of the light.

Mind made up, Kagome looked down to the shimmering sword, fingering the rusted black hilt, and walked forward....

~*~*~*~

It was so cold.

Never before has the temperature here drop so low. Well, she was never in this part of the palace before, was she? Perhaps it was always this cold, and she never knew about it. 'No...' she thought to her self, curling up into a ball in the corner 'It's only cold....because of her'

Yes, that had to be it.

Because of her, the devil in a blue dress. Never before had she experienced such hatred for someone. From the very first time she saw the evil bitch, she knew. Those eyes, those emerald eyes so filled with evil, she knew. She knew that nothing would ever be the same. He, her savior, was blinded by the law of the land, and also by something she was surprised to see from him.

He was blinded by love...or some fake form of it.

But, no, he could not be blamed. Everyone makes mistakes.

'But he never did'.

Well, there is a first time for everything. And now, due to his tiny moment of un awareness, of ... (dare she say it?) stupidity, she was stuck here. Alone and cold.

Wiping away tears and some dried blood on her face, the child looked up from her head down position. Was it here, in this cell, where she would wait for someone that will never come? Will she die here, simply holding on to hope?

This cell...covered in grime, bones, and blood.... was her hell.

Not one window was set into the stone wall to shed some light in the dark room. Not a small window in the tall cell door either. Will she be able to breathe? Questions about her future bombarded her mind. When, and if, will she eat? Drink? But she pushed aside her worries to worry about her lord. Is he as cold and hungry as she is now? Perhaps, he is in a cell right next to her, and she doesn't know it?

It wasn't even an entire day, and yet the girl had thought it to have been eternity. It had started off just as terrible as now, but he saved her that time. A wave of relief had washed over her, once he touched her. She thought everything would be o.k.

She was wrong.

No sooner had she reached the front gates of the palace, upon a mighty two headed dragon, had everything went into disarray. An even stronger one washed that wave of relief away; a tsunami of fear and terror.

Over the horizon she saw her, the devil, coming towards the palace, accompanied by a dark winged angel who once served her lord.

The rest was a blank, and she woke up here, in the dungeons of her lords palace.

Rin, though try as she might, could not find one good thought to come and claim her mind in the cold cell. 'Oh, Lord Sesshoumaru....Come and save your Rin' Her mind was plagued once again by her father like figure.

Was he o.k?

' I am sure he is...'

But then why has he not come, and how can he let the devil run his palace, take his throne?

'I am sure there is a good reason...'

But she could not fond one solid reason, to ensure what she hoped to be true. He must have been defeated.

'But he never looses...'

Rin began to cry, for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Cease your whining, you pathetic child"

That voice.

Wiping her eyes, she looked up at the shadowed outline of Yuna. The cell door, which was only partly opened, shielded the thing she held in her hands from view. What could it be?

"Here. I believe this thing belongs to you"

Yuna threw the heap across the cell, where it fell down to the floor, leaving a trail of crimson blood in its wake. Rin crawled over to the bundle, and found that it was none other than Jakken.

"Jakken..." she chocked out in a parched voice. Yuna seemed to look satisfied, locked the cell once more, and turned away.

The soft sound of her feet disappeared, and Rin laid Jakken's bruised head upon her lap. "Oh Jakken, what shall we do without our Sesshoumaru?"

Well, at least she wasn't alone anymore. Only Cold.

~*~*~*~

The light was coming from a quickly fading fire, set off centered in the cavern room. The red light only reached so far , leaving the corners darkened.

"Nothings here"
Relief flooded through her blood for a moment. Nothing was here. Perhaps Tetsusiaga was wrong? Then something got a hold of Kagome. 'Tetsusiaga would not pulsate with out a reason...would it?'

That's when the sword began to glow again. This time, however, was different. In the darkest corner of the room, a red-ish glow formed. Every beat of Tetsusiaga was equal to that of the glow. 'This is it'

Kagome cautiously approached.

The glow from Tetsusiaga sustained, and so did the red light. What Kagome saw made her stop in her tracks, no more than a foot away from the red glow. It was emitted from Tensiega. The brother sword of Tetsusiaga was strapped to its wielder, who was unconscious and bleeding.

What should she do?

"Ses...Sesshoumaru?" Kagome called out in a slightly wavering voice. No response. 'Should I help him? What if he wakes up and kills me... But he's hurt... I have to do something'

Kagome kneeled down on the hard floor, and was immediately startled to find she was in a pool of blood. She was shaken, but did not waver from her mission. Many strong voices of reason where shouting at her, telling her that he was an enemy, that he can kill you in an instant, and this was just a suicide act.

Pushing Jiminy Cricket aside, Kagome reached out and touched the demon's face, moving the white bangs to the side. Sighing heavily, Kagome knew what she must do. She took Tensiega, Tolkijin, and Tetsusiaga, put them on the floor together, and began ...

In the corner, Tensiega and Tetsusiaga slowly dimmed out in unison, their job completed.

~*~*~*~

The water in the pot finally came to a nice boil, and Kagome began to add the instant ramen, and then turned her attention to the resting Taiyoukai to her left. He lay on her sleeping bag, naked from the waist up, save for the bandages wrapped around his torso.

"The blood is seeping through again, I think I have to change them soon."

The young girl took the bowl with hot water, dipped the cloth, and put it across his crescent marked forehead. Taking another cloth, she began to wipe the dry blood off of his ivory skin.

" I never thought I would see the day Sesshoumaru had a calm, easy face. Perhaps he always looks like a baby when he sleeps."

The boiling water called her attention away from his face and shook Kagome out of her dream world. She had to admit, though never aloud, he was gorgeous. She stirred the ramen one last time, and turned to her large yellow knapsack. She pulled out some bandages and gauze, and crawled over the motionless body of Sesshoumaru. Was it her imagination, or did he seem more rigid?

Ignoring her senses, she began to unwrap the blood tainted bandaging.

It all happened in a split second.

Before Kagome could even move the wrappings, Sesshoumaru's eyes shot open. Blood red eyes were in the sockets of golden ones. `Just like Inuyasha…he couldn't control his demon rage…can he?' She was answered immediately.

Despite his serious injuries, he shot up from the ground. Wrapping his hand around Kagome's throat, he lunged over the fire and pushed her hard against the far cavern wall. The hot pot filled with ramen was spilled on the floor, but that was the least of Kagome's problems.

She tried to pry his hand off her neck, but he was far too strong. His eyes held such anger, as she had never seen. His white fangs were bared to her, and his breath was coming out short and ragged. A non-existent wind seemed to be playing with his white hair, accentuating his demonic appearance.

Kagome's breaths were coming up shorter, and she began to feel faint.

"Yuna!" Sesshoumaru screamed in her face, pushing her harder into the cold stone. She thought this would be her end.

Through streaming eyes and parted breath, she was able to choke out "I…I'm….Kagome"
