Chapter 19 Blinded by Anger

The four of them headed back to the castle. Inuyasha was still being very protective of Kagome as they walked. Kagome noticed this and leaned into him. He put a strong arm around her waist and smiled at her.

Miroku was still in the dog house with Sango and she was completely ignoring him. Miroku sighed and tried to wrap his arm around her waist like Inuyasha did with Kagome. Sango slapped his hand before he could touch her at all.

"Don't even think about it." Sango huffed. She turned and tried to storm off but Miroku jumped in front of her before she could. He had his hands folded to plead for her forgiveness.

"Please don't be angry with me my dearest Sango! I just can't help myself around you! I'll try my best to resist the urges if you'll just forgive me!" Miroku pleaded helplessly. He put on his pleading teary eyed expression on and made slight whimpering sounds. Sango sighed. Seeing his face like that made her heart melt.

"Okay." Sango said with another sigh. Miroku jumped up and hugged Sango excitedly. She pushed him off of her and pointed an accusing finger at him. "But you better not try anything funny!" She warned. He nodded and hugged her again. She giggled this time and hugged him back.

Kagome grinned and hugged herself closer to Inuyasha. He smiled and squeezed her back. She looked up into his eyes and they seemed to have a certain romantic twinkle in them.

The sun was finally beginning to set. Inuyasha and Kagome had been dying for some much needed alone time together. Miroku was also wanting some time with Sango. So far all the time they have had together has been with company.

"Well, it's starting to get kinda late. Is anyone hungry before bed?" Kagome cheerfully said. Sango was leaned into Miroku with her head on his shoulder.

"No thanks Kagome! But thank you so much for asking!" Sango replied. Kagome smiled at her and turned to the boys. They both shook their heads no. Inuyasha pulled slightly away from Kagome and looked her in the face.

"Are you hungry Kagome? We can get something on the way to the room if you would like." He said softly. Kagome nodded in agreement. She stretched herself up and kissed Inuyasha's lips gently. When she pulled away she saw he was wearing her favorite toothy grin. She giggled. They had finally reached the castle doors and Inuyasha held the door for everyone before entering himself. Everyone thanked him with a bow. Little did they notice that Sesshomaru was waiting for them.

"Who were our visitors." Sesshomaru said coldly. The group jumped a little. Inuyasha stepped forward to explain.

"Well, it's a funny story! This demon was coming to attack the castle and Sango was slaying it when it caught her off guard and-" Sesshomaru stopped Inuyasha by raising one of his clawed hands.

"Inuyasha, I was watching. That is not the visitor that I was speaking of." He said even colder with a little tenge of anger. Rin was hiding around the corner and was listening to the argument. Sesshomaru was so angry that he didn't even notice her standing there. "I don't approve of having random visits from random people. You of all people should know that brother." Sesshomaru said with more anger.

"Look, Sesshomaru, it's not like that if you would just listen-" Inuyasha tried to tell him and calm him at the same time before he was cut off again.

"Don't tell me what I need to listen to!" Sesshomaru yelled. Rin jumped and was a little afraid when she heard him yell. "I saw that girl hug the boy and that demon cat! Who does she think she is bring even more people around my castle?!"

Kagome saw that a fight was going to start if she didn't calm them soon. She walked up behind Inuyasha and put a soft hand on his shoulder. He lightly pushed her back. She was surprised and her feelings were a little hurt. He sensed her dismay and glanced back to her. "Kagome, stay back. This could get ugly." He said softly.

"Inuyasha don't fight. One of you could get hurt." She said back.

"It's okay. I'm not going to fight him. But I don't want to risk you getting hurt." He said with a toothy grin again.

"Please be careful." She said as she placed a hand over her chest in worry. Inuyasha nodded and turned back to a fuming Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was confused why his brother was so mad about this little incident. Something was different and he didn't want anything to jeopardize whatever it was.

"Inuyasha, I have no desire to hurt you. Please step aside. And stop protecting that stupid girl!" He yelled again.

Sango jumped and buried her face into Miroku's chest. She was clutching his clothes in her fists in fear. He held her tight to him and whisper in her ear. "I won't let him hurt you Sango. Nor will Inuyasha. You don't need to be scared."

Sesshomaru laughed. "She does need to be afraid. When I'm done with her, she will have no need for friends." He laughed coldly. Miroku frowned and hugged Sango tighter.

"What is your problem Sesshomaru? Why are you doing this?" Inuyasha asked in frustration.

"Step aside brother." Sesshomaru said again. Inuyasha put himself in a defensive stance and shook his head no. "Fine. It is your decision!" Sesshomaru howled as he flew forward at Inuyasha. Inuyasha raised his arms in defense. Then began to dodge the attacks. He was careful to stay away from his brother's poison claws. Rin watched the fight and was terrified. She didn't know that Sesshomaru could be so scary.

Kagome had tears forming in her eyes. She hated to see the two fighting like savages. The fight was too close for any comfort. Miroku grabbed Kagome's wrist and ran to the other side of the room. He had reached the door and Kagome pulled her hand away.

"I'm not leaving Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. "What if he needs me?!" Miroku was still holding Sango. Sango was shaking in terror. Kagome turned back to the fight. She was just in time to see Sesshomaru get a good punch in Inuyasha's jaw. She gasped and her breath caught in her throat.

Rin's did also. She didn't want Sesshomaru to hurt Inuyasha. She just wanted Sesshomaru to turn back into the sweet, gently guy she spend half the day with. She stepped out from behind the corner and began to walk forward. She slowly made her way towards the brother's brawl with her hand extended for Sesshomaru.

When she was only a few feet away, Kagome saw her. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped. She didn't even hesitate to run to the girl and stop her before she got hurt. Inuyasha was still doing his best to dodge but was getting hit a lot. Sesshomaru's eyes were bright red at the furry boiling in his blood. He was blinded by his anger. He didn't even see his opponent as Inuyasha anymore. He was just blindly beating on his brother.

Kagome reached her and grabbed hold of her to stop her from proceeding. "What are you doing? You will be killed!" She exclaimed. Rin was in shock and didn't reply to her question.

Inuyasha was thrown to the ground and Sesshomaru was standing over him. Inuyasha was out of breath and beaten pretty badly. He was thinking that his own brother was going to fatally injure him. Sesshomaru sensed two presences behind him and his mind shouted that he was being ambushed. He whipped around. Kagome hugged Rin close to her and they both looked up at him in fear.

Inuyasha saw Kagome in Sesshomaru's line of sight and his eyes widened. 'Shit! No!' His mind screamed. He struggled to get up. Sesshomaru raised his hand with his claws glowing green. "Kagome run!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kagome heard him and was snapped out of her shock. Terror was dominating her emotions. She turned with Rin in toe and started to run. Sesshomaru saw them run and grinned as he walked toward. "Sesshomaru! Leave them alone, your fight is with me!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sesshomaru completely ignored Inuyasha's voice and leaped above the girls. Not even knowing it was them. 'Shit!' His mind screamed again. His pain vanished from his feeling and he sprang to protect his mate. Sesshomaru was above them as they ran. Kagome and Rin tripped and fell the ground. His poison claws glowed bright and he decided it was time to finish these two trouble makers. Their eyes grew wide as Sesshomaru came at them rapidly.

Inuyasha leaped in front of the attack and Sesshomaru's hand went through his stomach. Inuyasha grunted in pain and Kagome could hear his grunt had fluid dulling it. He had blood in his throat. Sesshomaru removed his hand and jumped back. Inuyasha fell the ground holding his wound. Blood gushed from the hole. A pool of it was already forming around him. He was unconscious from the poison in his bloodstream. Kagome had tears streaming down her cheeks and crawled to his side.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Say something! Open your eyes! Please! Oh god! Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. She laid her head on his as she held him in her arms. Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles with the blood from his brother dripping from his claws. Kagome's head snapped up to look at him in horror.

Sango wanted so badly to help Inuyasha and Kagome but she was frozen in her place by fear. Miroku wouldn't let her go anywhere near Sesshomaru right now anyways.

Rin looked at the bleeding Inuyasha and her heart clinched in her chest. 'How could her do this? He was so nice and kind to me! He can't do this! I must be having a nightmare!' Rin thoughts screamed. She stood up and stepped in front of Inuyasha and Kagome. "Sesshomaru." She whispered. His eyebrow twitched.

'What? Who's that? That voice? I know that voice. Why do I know that voice?' Sesshomaru's mind raced. He didn't notice her walking towards him until she was a foot away.

"Sesshomaru." Rin whispered again. That same twitch happened. She continued to step forward. 'He knows me. He won't hurt me.' She thought. She was in reach of him now. Sesshomaru flinched back a little and growled under his breath in warning. She also flinched a little before proceeding towards him. Her hands were extended to him. Sesshomaru also lifted his claws for his own protection. His mind was still fussy and didn't recognize her completely.

Rin touched her fingers to the skin on his arm. Sesshomaru's eyes became wide and they faded back to normal. He saw Rin in front of him and could smell Inuyasha's blood strongly. He examined his surroundings and saw Kagome holding Inuyasha in the floor. 'What did I do? Why did this happen? Damn it!' Sesshomaru's mind screeched.

"Sesshomaru?" Rin questioned. He looked down at her and pulled her into a hug.

"I didn't hurt you did I? I'm so sorry I didn't mean to... I don't know what happened... I-I just..." He trailed off. He heard Inuyasha cough up blood and groan in pain.

"Inuyasha! Oh Inuyasha! Can you hear me? Please speak to me! Inuyasha!" Kagome cried again. Inuyasha opened his eyes and was met by Kagome. "Inuyasha!" She said as she hugged him tighter to her. Inuyasha whimpered in pain when she squeezed him. She loosened her grip and cradled him more gently. She buried her face into his neck.

Sesshomaru hurried to his brother's aid. Kagome held Inuyasha closer to her and away from Sesshomaru in protection. He could see the protective look in her eyes and slowly knelt down next to them. Sesshomaru raise a hand in peace. Kagome saw more emotion on his face than she ever had before. She loosened her hold on Inuyasha once again. Inuyasha saw his brother. 'Shit! He's gonna hurt Kagome!' He then proceeded to try to sit up too rapidly and collapsed back into Kagome's lap.

"Inuyasha! Be careful! You'll make your injuries worse!" Kagome exclaimed. She petted the hair off of his perspiring face.

Inuyasha looked his brother in the face and saw the guilt he wore. Sesshomaru looked Inuyasha over and saw the gushing hole in his stomach. It wreaked of his poison. He cringed at the thought that he did this to his only brother. The wound had a lot of poison in it and if they didn't treat it soon, he would die. If Inuyasha would die because of him, he would never forgive himself.

Meanwhile, Inu No Taisho and Izayoi were taking a nap when Inu No Taisho woke up at the scent of his son's blood. And lots of it. His eyes shot open and shook Izayoi to wake her as well. Izayoi yawns and rolls over to look at Inu No Taisho. She sees his panicked look and is confused.

"What's the matter dear?" Izayoi asked.

"We need to get downstairs. Now. I smell Inuyasha's blood." He replied urgently. Izayoi had a worried look on her face.

"Let's go! Quickly!" She exclaimed. Inu No Taisho nodded and leaped out of bed and kneeled for Izayoi to hop on his back. She did and he ran out of the room until he found the scene. He was shocked. Inuyasha was held by Kagome on the floor with blood coming from his stomach with Sesshomaru and Rin next to them. Strangely to Inu No Taisho, he could smell Sesshomaru's poison. It clicked in his mind.

'Sesshomaru.' He thought. He sat Izayoi down gently and was lifting Sesshomaru up in seconds. Izayoi ran over to help Inuyasha. Inu No Taisho growled at Sesshomaru and pinned him to the wall.

"What the hell did you do?!" He yelled inches from Sesshomaru's face. Sesshomaru didn't resist. "Tell me what happened! Now!"

"I-I don't know. I just... Snapped. I don't know." Sesshomaru replied. Inu No Taisho released his son and hurried back over to Inuyasha.

"We need to treat him quickly before the poison spreads too far." Inu No Taisho said lifting his youngest son into his arms. Kagome and Izayoi weren't far behind him. Rin however stayed with Sesshomaru.

"You should stay away from me." Sesshomaru said lowering his head in shame.

"I won't stay away from you. What happened wasn't you. I know it wasn't." Rin said walking closer to him once again. He steps back but Rin wouldn't let him. She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him. He hugged her and nuzzled into her hair.
