InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Revenge and honor or love with the enemy ❯ chapter 11 ( Chapter 11 )

“I'm sure she's alright, Sesshomaru-sama. She is strong, remember, that's why you chose her.” The young girl spoke. She watched her master's eyes as they were filled with worry and anger. She was confused though, she didn't understand exactly why she was going along, but that didn't matter to her, as long as she was with Sesshomaru-sama. She walked by his side, glancing at him, and then back to the ground. Sesshomaru only looked forward as he walked with Kurai in his arms. He was as pissed as he was worried. He was tired of these problems Kurai's been having, he wanted to figure out the source of her problems, and find a cure if possible. Seriously though, he would have preferred that she walk beside him and not her to be carried by him, but the thought barely crossed his mind. He was anxious to get to get to the median, though he did worry about the price. He stared at the caves before him, keeping his pace. Every now and then Rin would fall behind a little and have to catch up. “Sesshomaru-sama, are we going in those caves? They look kinda dark and scary.” She quivered a little bit and then looked up at Sesshomaru, who was at the time raising an eyebrow towards her.

“You can wait outside the caves if you please, but these caves are probably safer than the outside at night.” He said over his shoulder after turning his head and walking inside the caves. Rin stuck her tongue out and scurried to his side.

After a long labyrinth of twists and turns, the finally reached a stone door with a skull attached to it. Sesshomaru put his hand over the skulls eyes. They glowed red and then the door opened, shutting as soon as Rin made her way in. She let out a slight “eep.” Then went on. Sesshomaru took Kurai into one of the rooms where there lay a bed.

“Lie her down on that one over there.” a devilish voice spoke from behind a curtain of beads. Sesshomaru did as he was told and laid her down on a stone bed in a different section of the room. Rin stayed where she was at, only watching Sesshomaru lay the sleeping daemoness down. “So what do we have hear, oh great Sesshomaru-sama?” The voice asked again, before walking out from behind the curtains, as if on cue. She held a couple of items in her hands including a beaker of blood, a black rose, a couple of budless stems, a glass jar with fireflies in it, and a small leather pouch of shells, stones, and crystals. She gave Sesshomaru an `I see' look. She nodded and walked over to the little wolf-daemon. “Would you mind removing her clothes for me?” she asked as a table appeared beside the bed. She set the items down as Sesshomaru removed his mate's garments. After Kurai was naked the median poured the beaker of blood onto her stomach. The blood ran down her stomach and into her belly button. Sesshomaru caught the scent of the blood and had to restrain himself from licking it away. The median looked up and smirked, and then returned to her table. Picked up the two stems, handed one to Sesshomaru, and laying the other on Kurai's stomach. Sesshomaru looked at the stem curiously.

“Nan deska?” he asked.

“Let me do my work, just hold it for now. It will become of use in a while.” She spoke as she motioned to Rin. Rin strutted over to the median and looked at her curiously. “Here, take this.” She said handing the excited girl a jar of fireflies.

“May I ask what this is for?” she questioned.

“That, Ai, would be a Hikari of Light. It is a gift for having to be drug along this journey. It will bring you good luck, and it is said that it will guide you through dark and rough times.” She smiled and returned to her occupation. Rin ran over to where she stood before, but this time leaned against the wall and sat on the floor. Sesshomaru watched as the fidgety median chanted a few words, laid some rocks and crystals on and around his mate. The woman chanted again after putting an amethyst crystal between the peeks of her breast. The median closed her eyes and hummed a slight tune. The median stopped and opened her eyes, her fear filled eyes. Sesshomaru struck a curious eye at the median.

“What? What is wrong?” he asked sternly. He was startled by a body jumping at him. (AN he was at the time focused on the median, that's why he was startled.) he fell to the ground and immediately jumped back up. “Take Rin away to someplace safe.” She demanded at the median. The median grabbed the shocked Rin's hand and ran past the beaded curtain into the back room. Sesshomaru blocked each attack from his unconscious mate. She moved as though she was connected to wires. Her eyes were hallow and dark, as if she were among the living dead. The blood that the median had poured on her was now scattered across her stomach. She kicked and punched, summoned her weapon again and again after each time he knocked it out of her hand. He was beginning to get very fed up with this so he began to fight back. She blocked as well as he did attack. While Sesshomaru was swinging at her neck, she swung her weapon at the wound she made before. He winced and retracted back as the blood trailed down the side of his white haori. He looked up to see yet another swing, but this time at his other side. He dodged the attack, almost just in time. He lost his balance, stumbled, but caught himself and dodged another attack. He regained his strength and soon enough began blocking and dodging attacks.

“You cant beat me now, oh, great lord of the west.” A possessed voice came from Kurai's lips. “For I have your mate. To think, will he or will he not attack his own bitch.” Kurai stated again, attacking at the other side again. Sesshomaru jumped up and over to another side. He looked at Kurai inquisitively. He grunted and dodged another attack. Kurai quickly summoned another weapon in her other hand and swung at him at the same time. It barely tore the some skin before she quickly pulled away. Sesshomaru watched as the naked body dropped both weapons and began crying. Tears of blood ran down the sides of her face, as screaming like sounds escaped from her mouth. “Help me… Onegai… help me!!” was repeated as it soon stopped and changed back into the lifeless puppet. Except something was different, Sesshomaru noticed. He looked closer at her and found that one eye was normal. “Shut up you worthless wench, do my bidding and I will set you free.” Came out of her mouth in a possessed tone.

“No, I will not. I cant kill him , I love…” the voice quickly changed back to the deep tone. “You know deep inside that you need to kill him, he is your enemy. I am only helping you out by killing him for you.” Sesshomaru watched as the two sides of Kurai battled for dominance. He slumped to his side as a slight pain struck hi reopened wound. “No I cant. Fuck my stupid ancestors; fuck my insane mother. I will do something that I need to do.” She said before a weapon appeared in her hand on her side. “No, cunt, don't you dare think you can get away that easy.” A low tone said, grabbing the weapon with the other hand. Sesshomaru's eyes widened as Kurai tried to cut open her own chest. “NO!!” the lower voice screamed as Kurai stabbed herself in the chest, and then dragging it downward with a burst of blood. a stone fell out of her chest and her other eye changed back to normal. She fell to the ground, only to be caught by a worried Sesshomaru.

“My love, why did you? We could have found a different way.” She looked down at her gaping chest. She smiled up at him and caressed his cheek. He looked back at her with concern and anger filled eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could Sesshomaru laid a finger over her lips, and cupping his hand over hers. “don't speak, we have little time. The median will be able to revive you. Just don't let the spirit stealers take you away, onegai, my love, hold on a little longer,” He calmly said, purring to try and sooth her. She only smiled and closed her eyes.

“Sesshomaru, lay the beauty on the sheet covered bed. We still have time to bring her back for you.” The median said from behind the curtains. Sesshomaru looked up at her and nodded. He picked his near lifeless Kurai up in his arms and carried her to the decorated bed. He did as the median said, laying her down on the bed, carefully not to hurt her. “do you still have the rose stem I gave you?” the median asked pulling out another rose stem from beneath the table. Sesshomaru nodded and pulled it out of his pocket. He looked at her curiously for a second and then turned his attention to his mate.

“what are you planning to do to her?” he asked in a low tone.

“Well, lord Sesshomaru, I am going to heal her, as you wished before. She is not dead yet, and if she dies her spirit will not get far. She is a strong girl and this place is protected from that Kikyo's soul stealers. So please do not doubt me m'lord. “she explained before holding out her hand for the stem in Sesshomaru's. he handed it to her and watched her closely. He raised his eyebrow as he remembered one thing about this certain median.

“and what do you get in return?” he asked curiously.

“I ask only for my lord to be happy. I have never once seen you smile, and I believe this maiden can make that happen. As you know I have been in your family for a great while, and no one has achieved that goal.” She said as a smile crossed her face. “on that day, will the world be changed in what ways great.” She added before laying both roses beside each side of Kurai's head. She again chanted a few words and rolled her hands over the wounded body in front of the two. The chest began to glow as the wound started to heal. All of the muscles and such began to reattach. When the whole thing was done, there was but only a scar to replace the wound. The scar was great, but it was a much better sight than the gash. A large weight was lifted off his chest as her chest rose and fell, breathing for air to enter her body.
