Winterscape: Greetings and welcome again to my fan fiction. I do understand that the updates are quick but the chapters are short and I hope you would have it this way than long chapters with a review once a week. Please enjoy this chapter and leave a review.

 

The lightning struck the ground and then everything was back to normal as if it hadn't happened.

 

Sesshomaru was over near Rin in an instant.

 

Kagome had grabbed her at the last moment and moved her out of the way.

 

Rin hugged Sesshomaru and then turned to thank Kagome.

 

“Oh no Kagome you're bleeding! Rin is sorry!” Rin announced, starting to cry.

 

“Don't worry Rin it's just a cut.” Kagome told her, touching her forehead where it had hit the ground. She tried to move. “Alright a cut and messed up knee. Don't worry Rin, I'll be fine.” Kagome told Rin, hugging her to stop from crying.

 

Rin squeezed Kagome tightly and only Sesshomaru caught the glimpse of pain strike her features, obviously from her leg.

 

“Can Kagome stay with us tonight Sesshomaru-sama, Rin would be happy!” Rin asked Sesshomaru.

 

“If it pleases you but we must start back.” Sesshomaru told her, watching her run ahead to go torture Jaken again.

 

Kagome was examining her leg. Her ankle was in an odd position and her leg was twisted.

 

“Wench can you…” Sesshomaru started but was cut off.

 

“Call me wench again and I swear I'll hurt you.” Kagome seethed.

 

“I will call you what I please now are you able to stand or will you require...assistance?” Sesshomaru asked her.

 

Although she was in a great deal of pain she would not submit and admit defeat.

 

She slowly rose to feet and took a step forward. The searing pain was relevant when she had to sit back down.

 

He was smirking, she knew he was smirking.

 

And that just annoyed her.

 

`Attempt two.” She thought to herself as she got up and took a step.

 

She remembered her `health' training and smiled as she shifted all her weight on the other leg making it slightly easier to walk but with a very relevant limp.

 

Sesshomaru's smirk disappeared as Kagome acquired one of her own.

 

“No I do not require assistance.” Kagome hissed at him as she started to walk towards Rin.

 

Sesshomaru didn't like being undermined, not by anyone. She would pay for that little smirk and that little hiss.

 

As they reached Rin and Jaken Kagome was already getting worn out. She couldn't travel like this, she couldn't travel at all.

 

“Wench if you can not keep up perhaps you should accept the offer of assistance.” Sesshomaru announced, putting a lot of emphasis on the word wench.

 

Kagome glared at him and touched her leg. A pink light flew out of her hand and ran through her leg, healing it.

 

Kagome was actually astonished but she didn't let him see that.

 

She smiled in satisfaction before she noticed that Sesshomaru was spinning.

 

“Sesshomaru, stop that.” Kagome told him.

 

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome as she touched her head where the cut was, and was now bleeding profusely.

 

“Kagome?” Rin asked, on the verge of crying.

 

Kagome couldn't reply, her eyes closed and her body went limp and then everything was black.

 

Kagome was in nothing. Everything was black. She couldn't even see herself.

 

All of a sudden a burst of light brought her where she had been the night before.

 

She was lying on the bed with her back to her lover.

 

“You should have been more careful.” The man told her, nuzzling her neck.

 

“I had to save her.” Kagome replied.

 

“I know, I know.” The man replied, kissing her cheek and wrapping his arms around her and pulling her to him.

 

“When will I know who you are?” Kagome asked, closing her eyes.

 

“Soon, I promise love, you'll know soon. For now you must return.” The man told her.

 

“I don't want to.” Kagome protested.

 

“Don't be stubborn now, go, I will see you again soon.” The man replied in a sweet voice as he kissed her one last time.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru! Kagome is waking up!” Rin cried.

 

Kagome opened her eyes to find herself up against a tree.

 

“What happened?” Kagome asked groggily, rubbing her head.

 

“You suffered severe blood lose so you fainted.” Sesshomaru's icy voice told her.

 

“Rin is really sorry.” Rin cried.

 

“Don't worry Rin, I'm strong, this is nothing compared to some of the things I've had.” Kagome told the child as she curled up in her lap.

 

“Really?” Rin asked her.

 

“Yeah.” Kagome started. “One time, when I was with…well lets just say I wasn't alone. A demon tried to the shards from me, this is when Naraku was alive. Anyways, I ended up getting a small cut on my arm and I though nothing of it but it was poisonous and it paralyzed me. Than the demon started to attack me, when I was down. So don't worry about me, I can take it.”

 

“Wow Kagome is so strong, Strong like Sesshomaru-sama!” Rin exclaimed, capturing the attention of her caregiver and Kagome.

 

“Rin, go play and let the miko rest.” Sesshomaru told Rin.

 

When Rin was just out of hearing distance Kagome spoke.

 

“Wow from wench to miko, how did I acquire such honor?” Kagome asked Sesshomaru sarcastically, not opening her eyes.

 

“Why do you now open your eyes miko? Are they damaged?” Sesshomaru asked her.

 

“They're fine. I just…I just don't want to open them.” Kagome stuttered, trying so hard to cling onto the images of her dreams.

 

`Perhaps the injury did more damage than I thought.' Sesshomaru thought to himself starring at Kagome.

 

“One, no it didn't and two, stop starring at me.” Kagome announced, shocking Sesshomaru.

 

`She can read my thoughts?' Sesshomaru thought.

 

“One of the perks of being me.” Kagome chuckled opening her eyes with a sigh.

 

“You will not break my privacy or the consequences will be severe.” Sesshomaru growled.

 

“It's not like I'm staying long anyways.” Kagome replied harshly.

 

“You're leaving?” Rin asked, stopping dead in her tracks behind Sesshomaru.

 

`Damn it!” Kagome thought to herself.

 

“But Rin doesn't want Kagome to go.” Rin cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.

 

“Rin, you're going to go back home with Sesshomaru.” Kagome told her in a sweet voice.

 

“Why can't you come with Rin?” Rin asked her, her bottom lip quivering.

 

“Rin I don't think Sesshomaru want's me to come home with you.” Kagome told her.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama is that true?” Rin asked her care giver.

 

Sesshomaru was in a position but he had a sudden sensation. Something inside him told him that he should keep the lovely miko by his side.

 

“No Rin that is not. If the miko wishes to join us at our home and it will make you happy than it is up to her wither or not she comes.” Sesshomaru announced, mentally smirking as he felt Kagome's embarrassment spike.

 

“Yay! Kagome is coming home with Rin.” Rin exclaimed running around in circles than chasing Jaken.

 

Kagome sighed and leaned her head against the tree and put her hands on her face.

 

“Is something the matter miko?” Sesshomaru asked her in an arrogant tone.

 

“No but it will be if you don't start calling me by my name.” Kagome told him, opening her eyes and looking at him.

 

“You dare threaten me?” Sesshomaru asked her.

 

“I do because if you don't call me Kagome than I'll tell Rin that you were being mean to me and I'm not going back with you.” Kagome replied with a triumphant smile.

 

Sesshomaru growled, his ward meant everything to him and if she was upset than he would suffer.

 

“Goodnight Sesshomaru.” Kagome replied, closing her eyes and getting into a comfortable position.

 

Sesshomaru went to walk away but not before he caught site of one of her thoughts.

 

A black silk room. A black silk bed covered in rose petals. Her lying on the black silk bed.

 

Sesshomaru looked back at her, shook his head and than walked away.

 

Winterscape: And that is the end. But what is wrong with Sesshomaru. I'm sure you are all well aware of what is going to eventually happen but I still have things to put in between than and now. I bid thee good day.
