Chapter 6: Fight
Kagome licked her elongated fang greedily. She leaned forward and inhaled the sweet scent of Naoko's blood, she also smelt the lovely distinct scent of fear coming off the frightened young girl in waves. It was like a lover's touch, luring the hungry vampire even more. Just the smell alone was setting Kagome off.
She felt as light as a feather, if just by smelling would give her such a high; imagine the taste! Kagome was practically drooling, she couldn't hold out for much longer. But she had promised herself; she would go a torturously slow as possible, savoring the taste. She bent over and licked the jumping, plump vein.
Naoko was whimpering even more now, tears spilling from her face. "p-p-please don't hurt me" she choked out, hoping the creature had at least an ounce of sympathy. Around them, men were slowly advancing, hoping the demon didn't notice any sudden movements and kill Naoko. Even without sudden movements, she looked as if she could devour her whole anyway, the creature was obviously smart and was probably making a plan right now.
Contrary to popular belief. Kagome, in all honesty, wasn't thinking straight. She didn't care about the fact that they wanted to kill her. No, all she thought about was feasting and getting rid of this pain she was currently feeling, when she heard her victim's chocked plea.
Guilt washed over her like a wave on a surfer (I like that analogy, I'm not sure why though). She was about to let the sobbing girl go. But was stopped because of a griping pain in her chest. And it was not her miko powers, the first signs of bloodlust.

Sesshomaru glided through the trees, never touching a branch for a second. He hadn't felt like flying tonight. No, he wanted to get his adrenaline pumping so he could enjoy beating his brother to a pulp even more.
He past by a village then stopped. A strange scent, an unidentifiable scent reached his properly trained full-blooded nose. The weird thing about it was that it had no scent really, but had the stench of humans smothered all over it added with the scent of fear. I was indeed very peculiar.
He went closer to the outskirts or the village and saw a crowd, some of the men carried weapons, in the middle he saw a girl in very unusual clothing holding another girl who was obviously very terrified.
"Kagome-chan please don't hurt me" he heard scared girl squeak out. Kagome, that name sounded familiar, he recalled hearing his brother yell that name multiple times before. But why was she here all by herself? He looked more closely, she looked almost hungry, and was apparently having fun playing with her food, he figured. Her eyes were red, that was not normal for a human, then he realized. The odd scentless scent was coming from her!
He needed answers. He walked out into the open, making his presence known to the inferior race that crowded the area. The villagers looked at him warily.
Kagome stopped playing with Naoko's jugular, halting her sadistic amusement. A heavenly scent wafted to her. She glanced to the side and saw the most regal thing ever, he was slightly familiar, but in her state of mind, she really didnt know. Silky silver hair, beautiful, cold golden eyes, and the loveliest smelling blood in all the land. He narrowed his eyes at her and she could only smirk.
She turned her attention back to Naoko, debating whether to continue her game with her newest victim, or go after the new arrival. It went back and forth in her mind like a tennis ball in a tournament. The scent of the newcomer was too inviting. She quickly made her decision.
"Kagome" he said, how in the world did he know her name? She turned to him; crimson pupils narrowed suspiciously and raven brows knit together in confusion. "Let her go" what the hell was he doing? What did he care if she slaughtered a worthless human?
`How dare he tell her to let her dinner go! All the more reason to eat him' she reasoned
"Put her down" it was like talking to a child who was caught doing something they weren't supposed to be doing. She growled at him, her fangs showing, she would not give into this jerk, whoever he was, she was too hungry. He stepped forward.
A pain shot through Kagome's abdomen, it was just searing and sharp, she knew this pain, she registered this pain, damn it. Her grip on Naoko loosened considerably and the girl bolted out of Kagome's grip. Sesshomaru looked at her in masked curiosity. What was happening to her? It was obvious she was in pain a type of pain her body had yet to get used to. Then he scented it.
Kagome sank to her knees, clutching her stomach in pain. She looked up at Sesshomaru who had stopped right in front of her, her eyes flashed blue for a second then went back crimson. She howled in pain as her miko energy once again tried to kill her.
A ball of purifying energy erupted from her hand; it turned a dark purple colour before spreading on the ground. She lurched over again.
Sesshomaru could tell the human wasn't herself. She looked different, dead. He saw her eyes flicker for a moment, she was most likely possessed. But how can a powerful miko -though he'd never admit it out loud-like her be possessed by a demon? He would find out later.
She lurched over, he could see miko energy whipping along her back. He lifted her by the scruff of her odd kimono, careful of the tendrils of energy shooting from her. She had her head down, she was obviously fighting. He used his tail to hold her up and then with his hand, he lifted her chin.
She instantly clamped down on his palm, sucking the heavenly substance. It tasted just as good as it smelt, heck it tasted better! Her cheeks flushed as she drank, savoring his taste, feeding her famished body. She felt the pain subside and she calmed.
Sesshomaru's brows rose in shock as he watched as the girl move with inhuman speed and began drinking his blood. He watched her, she seemed content after a while, he growled, this human dare do this. He wretched his palm from her and watched as the two small puncture marks sealed. He also felt a slight tingling in his arm, like something was trying to change his blood. But it subsided.
Kagome looked up, he pupils slowly changing to a purple color then back to its usual sunny blue, but the blue seemed duller than normal. Dead yet horrified blue, confused yet disgusted gold. She looked away, she let it happen again, she lost control again, and he was here to see it.
But how did she change back?
She licked her lip, the copper substance still present, then her eyes locked with the two crimson droplets on his open palm, still frozen in shock of the current events. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she looked around the village at the scared faces, determined faces and the terrified face of Naoko who was clutching her neck like it was a lifeline. (it probably is. I'm not too versed on biology yet) she bit her lip as the tears flowed.
"Wench why aren't you with my brother?" Sesshomaru asked. She would have retorted in a snappy way on normal circumstances, this was far from a normal circumstance. She felt as she deserved the insult. She did try to kill the guy just now when you think of it.
"I-I cant go back, I-I'm a monster" she sobbed
"What do you mean?"
"I'll kill them al and not know it. My miko powers want to kill me already" she said, so he was right, she was possessed.
"Why do you go after blood and not flesh?"
"Its considered food by my kind, we cant be sustained by anything else. Your blood did not satisfy my hunger, only sedated my powers"
"So you'll be in bloodlust again soon" she nodded at this, "then I should kill you"
"I wish it were that simple"
"What?"
"You cant"
"How dare you tell this Sesshomaru what eh cant and cannot do" he growled
"I cannot die, I'm already dead. I am utterly immortal"
"Like they clay bitch"
she glared at him, "I am nothing like her, I don't go around dragging people to hell, nor too I need souls to be able to walk the earth" she said monotonously.
A pain shot through her as her energy became loose again. Her body shivered as tremor of energy ran through it, she bit her lip and her eyes became scared, tears brimmed them again. She shook her head wildly, her dark hair shifting around her.
"Please no" she whimpered, "leave me alone"
Alex's voice rand in her head, it was like he could sense her, like he knew she was being tormented. ^that was not enough my pet^ he taunted, ^we need more…^
"No get away from me" a wave of purification power flew through her, she screamed as her abilities turned on her, she opened her eyes. Blue turned crimson. She looked around wildly then her eyes rested on the impassive demon lord. Her mind screamed to finish the job but her conscience screamed for her to kill herself, oh how she wished she could do that right now.
"Your blood…" she struggled out, trying to keep her lust in check, but failing misarebly, "it draws me"
sesshomaru looked at her like she grew a second head. His blood draws her. She had lost control again, in the blink of an eye he found himself pinned to the ground with her sucking at his neck. He growled and threw her off of himself, she skidded to a stop in a crouching position.
"Get me rope" he commanded, a villager quickly ran into a storage room, which conveniently happened to be quite near, and took out a length of rope waited fro the rest of his orders.
Kagome lunged, he caught her wrist and held her on the ground with his foot and told the villagers to tie her writs. She thrashed wildly on the ground, she refused to be tied, not when the perfect main course was right there in front of her! She felt something against her neck then the saw black.
Sesshomaru slung the now unconscious demon-possessed girl over his shoulder and left the village without another word.

Inuyasha jumped down from his perch as an all too familiar scent reached him. He watched as the pristine figure landed with something on his shoulder.
"Brother, so nice of you to greet me" Sesshomaru said smoothly
"Cut the crap, whose that?"
the noise brought out the monk and the tajiya from the hut, he deposited the unconscious miko in front of him then raised an eyebrow slightly. She actually did look dead.
"Is she-" Sango asked
"No she's alive, though I'm not sure if that's what she would call it."
"Why bring her to us?"
"I'm not sure" Sess answered truthfully, pulling his hand through his pristine mane.
Kagome slowly reganed consciousness. She realized that she was still tied up and began to thrash and growl. The three were taken aback by that. Kagome opened her crimson eyes , the group froze.
"What have you done to her?!!" Sango shrieked.
Tbc…….
I hope that was worth the wait. Ok I highly doubt it did, I think it sucked but, oh well. That's what I could come up with. Plz don't kill me.
Plz review or flame if you want, but theres a line you don't want to cross, if you do cross it, you'd be getting a very colorful Jamaican e-mail from me.
Have a good, weekend!!!!!
Until next time….
