Shades Of Red

Chapter 11…

The tall slinking warrior stepped from the wood and knelt before him "My lord I bring disturbing news from your dwelling, Your presence is needed back at your estates"…

Gracefully rising from his position on the forest floor Sesshomaru quickly gathered a startled Kagome into his arms…after struggling for a second Sesshomaru whispered a venomous threat into her ear if she did not desist.

Trying to force her self to calm down she gasped as a cool mist pooled around her feet…slightly dampening her legs …and they lifted off the ground.

Unconsciously clinging to his armored chest...Kagome slowly allowed her self to adjust to this obscure mode of transportation…the constant shifting in the substance under her feet took so getting used to but she began to let her self glide and slowly willed her self to look down…

Her glance down ward and sharp intake of breath caused a strange almost chuckle sound to rumble from Sesshomaru…Kagome's eyes grew wide, kami they were high up and moving fast…never had she experienced something quite like this with Inuyasha…the memory brought a stab of pain in her body, she fought to suppress the memories and smother them in the back of her mind.

Continuing to look down her eyes lighted on a dark crimson form following them underneath…squinting, She realized It was Nikishi…that demon's faster then Kouga easily and she did not even posses any shards…

"Sesshomaru-sama" she formally addressed the taiyoukai…it was then that she realized that his arms were wrapped around her form supporting her while floating on this cloud. Kagome was secretly glad that she was facing forward so that he could not see her blush…

Quickly realizing that she had not finished her sentence…she tried to clear her throat, "Sesshomaru-sama"..."I heard you the first time wench" he coldly retorted…Slightly flustered she continued again "What type of youkai is Nikishi?" Taken aback by her genuine interest, Sesshomaru slowly replied…

"I do believe a Minx youkai, from the exotic Far East…a many years ago she unexpectedly showed up in my domain…looking for work and a place to belong. She never spoke of exactly where she came from or why she came here.

But proving her valuable "skills", She was quickly accepted into the ranks and From there she made her assent upward to become my personal assassin. Her looks, dialect, and breed is quite rare for this area…Nikishi is the embodiment of the unknown."

Kagome could only listen with interest as his cool smooth voice ran through her body. Envious, not only were some high ranked demons blessed with the looks of the gods, but beautiful distinct voices to match. Sighing wistfully she shivered as the cool air rushing around her chilled the skin…

She gingerly reached up to touch her aching ear…furrowing her forehead she winced as her fingers were brought back in blood…She felt so cold and just looking at her blood, though she'd seen it countless times before and never been affected…it now make her stomach churn. Kagome looked at her fingers helplessly, she did not want to wipe the dark red blood of her new clothes.

Kagome sharply drew her breath in surprise as Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist…Turning her head side ways she glared at him, "This is all your fault Sesshomaru, gesturing to her bleeding ear, couldn't you have just let me be! I want down, I want to go back, I want to....go home….I...I… there she broke down into sobs, the mere interaction with another just too much for her unbalanced state. The frustration of her inability to control her composer, just made her sob harder…

She tried to struggle away from his grasp but he just held on in silence…She was abruptly stopped when Sesshomaru brought her captive hand to his mouth and softly licked her bloody fingers off…Wide eyed Kagome just stared at him in utter bewilderment…"Calm down, this Sesshomaru will have none of those tears…I command you being under my jurisdiction to stop this nonsense." He spoke in a low harsh voice. That comment just made Kagome's eyes fill yet again with the salty rain.

Angrily Kagome retorted n a cold voice the rivaled his own…"You know nothing of me, or my past, you know nothing of my mind, or my pain, my ach, and my darkness…Do not be so bold to think that a…"

Kagome now sharply speaking with distaste and frustration, each word edge hard cold and painfully spoken "…Demon such as your self can even begin to comprehend our emotion as humans…Your scared of what you can't control, well here I am …you may be able to control my physical existence…But you never will dominate my bloody spirit or my heart!" Seething with fury Kagome elbowed Sesshomaru in the abdomen and pushed her self backwards off the cloud…

Kagome slowly closed her eyes and she fell silently through the air…She pushed her last breath out through her mouth as a sigh…not in distress or regret…but one of peace at last…She wanted so bad to escape this life and it's treachery…She eagerly waited for the moment that her body would crumple into the dark earth… the pain and then the calm, the wind and then the eye of the storm when her soul would pass from one body to oblivion.

She reopened her eyes to gaze at the beautiful red sky and Sesshomaru stationary above her emotionlessly gazing down at her…He wasn't coming for her, she smiled faintly as he grew smaller the sky and it's overwhelming expanse…She was ready.
