Part 7-

Sesshoumaru wasn't in a good mood. This morning the orb had

been glowing black meaning the victim was going to be hurt that day. He

hardly, if at ever, left the room, wanting to be arrive to retrieve

Kagome at the first possible second. But a few hours ago it had stopped

glowing meaning the victim hadn't survived. Now he couldn't go and get

her body, because he didn't know where she was. Thats revealed if the

survives.

He started patrolling his lands in hopes of finding something

to kill, namely InuYasha. He sniffed around trying to find intruders

when he very suddenly caught the strong scent of blood, he almost

gagged from the scent, it was so strong, so much blood! He ran towards

the scent and froze when he saw where the blood was coming from. There

in the middle of the clearing just inside of his lands was a very human

looking Kagome. She was breathing, but just barely, her back was rising

in an erractic pattern, it probably wasn't helping that she was on her

stomach.

She was facing him and she opened her eyes and whispered in a hopeful

and whistful voice "Sesshoumaru?" Then she was unconcious.

He walked quickly over to her and gently, carefully picked her up and

was surprised when she gained a deathgrip on his kimono top and

whispered his name again as she cried silently in her deep sleep. He

sped up, because from the smell of blood she should be dead.

~*At the Castle~*

He landed on his balcony calling servants to get water,

bandages, herbs and a nightgown. He gently laid he on the bed and

removed her the scraps of clothing left, he cringed when she saw her

chest, stomach and hips. They were very bad and needed immediate

medical attention. He gently cleaned her wounds and washed the blood

off of her body. When he was done the water in the bowl was red. He

rubbed herbs over her major wounds and wrapped them all. He wasn't

worried about the blood loss, since her body seemed to be producing

blood at a fair rate. He looked at her face and noticed she wasn't

sleeping well and wasn't shocked he just didn't know what to do for her

it what then he noticed a mark on her neck. His eyes widened as he

realized what it was he started cursing InuYasha to the seventh level

of hell, and there isn't an eighth. He called someone who could take

the mark away, he thanked the gods she would be asleep during this.

He then dressed her in the nightgown after the healer left and

Sesshoumaru was assured the mark would be gone in the morning. He then

settled himself into a chair by the bed to begin his night vigil.

~*Two Weeks Later At SunSet~*

She felt herself drifting toward conciousness, she groaned

feeling the dryness of her throat and the pain all over her body. She

tried to get lost in the black abysss that had graced her and let her

not deal with the pain and the knowing. But she found it was a lost

battle as she found she was even more awake fighting it. As her eyes

fluttered open she looked around, realizing it was starting to get dark

and she was glad. She heard an even breathing she looked over to the

sound and saw Sesshoumaru asleep in a chair by the bed. When she moved

to sit up and winced she saw he was in a deep sleep and sensed his

exhaustion and wondered if he stayed awake and watched over her. But

she quickly dismissed that idea. She noticed he seemed peaceful while

he slept. She then thought it was weird being here, because she had

just been traveling with....her eyes widened and she gasped as she

remembered what happened to her, and who did it to her. The memories

were too much, she saw and felt everything again, she whimpered and

scrabbled to get her back against the head board, hugged her knees and

rocked back and forth.

Sesshoumaru heard a gasp and then a whimper, he awoke to see Kagome

hugging her knees and rocking. he got up and sat on the edge of the

bed, he saw her stiffen at the movement, he also smelt blood and

mentally cursed, she had opened one or more wounds.

"Kagome," he said very softly,"let me help you, you opened one of your

wounds."

"Sesshoumaru?...Please is that you?" Kagome whimpers and she cautiously

scoots closer to him.

"Yes Kgome, I'm right here." He whispers as he opens his arms seeing

if will trust him enough to comfort her.

She glances at him then around the room and practically leaps into his

arms, burying her head in his chest, relaxing visibly, inhaling his

unique scent.

Taking a deep breath trying to surround herself in his scent mumbles

softly "nights, forests" pausing to take another deep breath"waterfall"

He was slightly shocked, but ignored it for now "Kagome will you let me

check you wounds?" He felt her nod against his chest and pull away

slowly, relucantly to lie down. He noticed that she looked away as he

went to part the nightgown she was wearing. He untied it and parted it

enough to see just the bleeding wound.

"Kagome I need you to sit up alright?"

"Alright," She whispered softly and moves into an up-right position.

He unwound the bandage occasionally kneeling into her to get around her

back the first few times he did, she would whimper so softly, he almost

didn't hear it. He layed her down and put more herbs on it and

rewrapped it while she found the side wall very interesting, hiding her

face from his. When he retied her shirt she crawled over to him and sat

very close to him, feeling safer doing so. He sighs softly and

decides to put her in his lap. She snuggles into him and relaxes. She

whispers some words that

Sesshoumaru couldn't hear, but he figured she was turning into her true

form when he saw her hair change.

"Kagome are you hungry?" He feels a weak nod, and she starts to slide

away from him, but his arms tightened around her. She looks at him

questioningly with concealed hope and he nods, she smiles a real

genuine smile.

"Thank you," and she hugs him.

He is shocked again, but hugs her back inhaling her pleaseant and

pleasing scent. 'Roses, spring rain and lightening storms,' he muses.

He shakes himself from his thoughts and reaches over to the table and

grabs the bowl of soup there. She reaches for it from his hands, but he

shakes his head and gets a spoonful of the soup on the spoon (duh!) and

feeds her. She only eats a few spponfuls but its better than nothing.

"You should go to sleep now."

"I'm not tired, I like the night."

He shakes his head and puts her under the covers of his bed and crawls

next her and he is soon asleep, exhaustion catching up with him. When

she figured he was in a deep sleep, she got up and walked around the
room.

'What am I going to do when it gets light? I won't want to leave, but I

have to. I have to beat this. I can.'

Kagome sits in a chair after picking out a book and starts reading it.

The book she picked out happened to be a poem book and two poems in

particular caught her attention:

You left me there to rot,
you wanted me to suffer,
whimper and scream.
To dissolve and waste away.
You didn't count on my soul burning,
the need to stay alive, to show,
you can't break me,
even when you tried.
You didn't think I could survive.
You were so sure you knew me,
sure I couldn't survive.
You thought you knew me inside and out.
Yet you couldn't see the steel in my spine,
nor the fire in my eyes.
The strength that radiates off my soul,
and being.
The need to fight and destroy you where,
you failed with me.
I can see your weakness and smell your fear,
soon I will taste your pain.
I will see you suffer whimper and scream.
I will see you beg and make deals.
But all will fall on deaf ears,
for you will know my power and you will,
feel it.
you will regret not finishing me.

Her eyes widen and start to water at the next one:

I can feel the fog lift,
I can see clearly as I look into the mirror
my make-up almost gone as I wince while applying
I suddenly remebered
the truth you used me
You had brainwashed me.
no wonder you looked so superior.
Anger radiating bringing courage with it
The smirk on my bloody and bruised lips
no longer will you have me to crush, beat and repress
We may inhabit the same body and soul
but I'll make sure this time its you whom is repressped
You took over while I was fed lies
I saw inside your dark and twisted mind
I will show you your mistake
not finshing me off
I grew steel wound with my backbone
my nails longer, sharper and deadlier.
My canine's now fangs, thirsty for your blood.
Muscules proving I'm worth the fight.
hate and a bloodlust pumping through my veins
whatever happens tonight.
My eyes will be sharp but dull to your kneeling.
My ears alive with screams, but deaf to your pleading.
My taste growing with your blood, dieing to guilt for none exists
Your torturing and suffering will fill the black
starless and moonless night.

'I will be strong than him.' she let the meaning of them sink into her

body and mind. 'I WILL train. I'll ask Sesshoumaru tomorrow.' With that

last thought she layed down in Sesshoumaru's bed and feel asleep,

finally safe and warm.
