Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 23:

Midnight Scare

 

 

Sighing as he closed his door Sesshoumaru walked over to his bed and sat down. How he hated giving Rin bad news. First it was the constant repeating of asking `why', then thinking it was her fault, and the part he hated the most. She would cry. He was finally able to get Rin to understand that Kagome just needed to rest. It was also hard to explain to her that if she saw Kagome, she needed to over look all the bruises.

 

Sesshoumaru laid back on his bed, his legs hanging over the ledge. Figuring that it will be a while before Kagome wakes up he moved to lay on the bed fully. He deeded to think about what he was going to do. Kagome is not going to be in very good shape and he had no idea how she was going to deal with it or how he could help.

 

_____--------_____------

 

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked around. It was dark and only a few candles were lit around the room. She frowned slightly, her arm was wrapped around something. Shifting slightly she looked down and realized that it was Sota. Giving a small smile and sighing she shifted uncomfortably. It felt like she was laying in something wet and sticky. Trying to ignore it she shifted again which only resulted in waking Sota up.

 

Sota woke up instantly noticing that the sheets were wet in different areas. He sat up and looked at Kagome then the bed. His eyes widened “Kagome, your bleeding” he said in a panicked voice. Hurridly he crawled off the bed and ran to Sesshoumaru's room.

 

Sota rapidly knocked on the door and backed away when the door opened, Sesshoumaru stood next to the door looking down at the boy “What is it?” he asked.

 

“Kagome's bleeding” Sota answered pointing to Kagome's room “The sheets are all bloody.”

 

“All the way down the hall and to the right are the main quarters. Go there and get a woman named Aya” Sesshoumaru said as he walked out of his room.

 

Sota nodded and ran down the hall as fast as he could. Sesshoumaru went into Kagome's room and lit a few more candles. He moved over to Kagome who was now looking at him, wincing every time she shifted.

 

Sesshoumaru didn't even have to look at the bed to tell that she was bleeding. The smell of blood was so thick that he had minor trouble breathing. Without hesitation he pulled her covers back and moved her off the bed. He set her on the floor and grabbed another sheet. Again, without hesitation he removed her robe and wrapped the sheet around her. As he did so he found a few that a few of her wounds have been opened further from her moving around. The wounds were pretty deep too, that must be why her sheets were so full of blood.

 

About a minute later a maid came in carrying bandages among other supplies with Sota right behind her. The maid knelt next to Kagome and too out a rag and went to pull back some of the sheet wrapped around Kagome. When the maid touched her, Kagome jumped back falling into Sesshoumaru. The maid looked at Sesshoumaru and he nodded for her to leave. Leaving the bandages and rags the maid stood up and left.

 

Sesshoumaru looked over at Sota. “Hand me a rag and get a few bandages” he said.

 

Sota nodded and they both went to work bandaging Kagome's wounds. Through the whole think Kagome sat there, saying nothing, Sesshoumaru hopped that she didn't completely stop talking. It was hard enough to get Rin to talk when she first started following him. When they finished Sesshoumaru put a new robe on Kagome. Now he just had to think about where he was going to put her. He couldn't very well put her back into her bed, it was soaked with blood. He would just have to take her to another room.

 

Picking Kagome up Sesshoumaru stood. Holding her close Sesshoumaru walked down the hall, Sota following close behind.

 

______-----------________---------

 

Waking up Kagome looked around and frowned slightly. This wasn't her room. She sat up, wincing as she moved. Again she looked around to see Sesshoumaru sitting in a chair close to her bed with Sota sitting next to him. Both of them were asleep and still looking exhausted. Then it finally came to her why she was in a different room. Her wounds were opened further last night and Sesshoumaru ended up having to move her. Giving a light smile she continued to look around the room.

 

“You should be resting” Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru “Your body needs to heal” he continued.

 

“I'm not tired” Kagome said quietly

 

“I wouldn't be surprised, you slept all night and all morning” he said “it's in the early afternoon.”

 

“How's Sota?” Kagome asked.

 

“His wounds are not a serious as I first thought” he answered “He'll be fine in a few days.”

 

Kagome nodded at looked at Sota as he started to wake. Sota straightened up in his seat and smiled at Kagome. “Are you feeling better Kagome?” Sota asked.

 

“A little but I'll feel better once I get some proper rest” Kagome said lightly.

 

“Then rest as much as you can” Sota gave a warm smile.

 

“I will” Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru “I'm kinda hungry.”

 

Sesshoumaru stood “I will bring the both of you something to eat.”

 

“Thank you” Kagome smiled.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and left. Sota got off the chair and climbed up on the bed with Kagome. Both of them sat in silence until Sesshoumaru came back.

 

Sesshoumaru carried a tray over to them with two bowls of food. He then sat down and waited for them to finish.

 

_____--------------________-----------

 

Sesshoumaru didn't know what to do any more. It has been three days now and Kagome has completely shut herself off. Rin and Sota would both sit outside her room waiting for her to come out. Not to mention the rumors of an attack against his lands. Something else to add to the list of things he didn't like. Still he was trying to figure out the reason behind Kagome changing that one day.

 

He growled lightly. Because of the rumors he had to double the guards as well as put a barrier up around his castle. The last thing he needed right now was an attack. There were other things he could be doing rather than preparing for an attack. He was about to enter his study when Rin came running down the hall, a smile on her face.

 

“Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru, Kagome's up. She came out of her room!” Rin took his hand and ran back to down the hall.

 

When they got there the door to Kagome's room was open. Rin lest go of Sesshoumaru's hand and ran into the room. Sota was helping Kagome straighten out her obi and kimono. Rin was standing next to Kagome when Sesshoumaru came in.

 

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and smiled lightly. He could tell it was a fake smile, it was there but it didn't show in her eyes. The sparkle that always lit up her eyes when she smiled was gone. She was in pain and he knew it, she might be able to hide it from the kids but not from him.

 

“I had to get out of bed” Kagome said “I couldn't stand it anymore and my wounds are healing good so I figured I could get some fresh air” her voice was quiet and just like her eye, it held the pain she was trying to hide.

 

Sesshoumaru moved over to her “I will take you to the gardens with kids” he paused for a moment “Von will be here later today, we have to discuss a few matters. I have a new body guard that is going to be taking Dante's place; he will accompany you when I am not around.”

 

“Alright” Kagome said.

 

“He might not be here today so you will probably have to go to the meeting with Von and I” he said.

 

“Alright” Kagome said again.

 

“When you're ready I'll take you to the garden” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“I'm ready now” she smiled.

 

“Very well then, we will go” Sesshoumaru turned and headed out to the garden. Kagome and the kids followed behind them.

 

 

 

So, what do you think? Please don't kill me, everything will get better with Kagome, you will see, I promise you.
