Chapter 7: Trust
“I found her like this human.” Sesshomaru responded coolly.
“You liar! What did you do to her?” Sango screamed as she watched her red-eyed friend thrash to get free from her binding, it tore at her heart.
“I did nothing to the wench” The Lord of the West denied again.
“Nothing short of turning her into a blood thirsty youkai!” the tajiya accused, fighting her restraints as Inuyasha helped Miroku hold her back from her attempts to injure the pristine lord.
“She was like that when I found her. Ready to slaughter an entire village” she replied once again, mask bellying what was going through his mind. He was about ready to snap the fighter's throat for her dishonorable accusations.
“I'll kill you!” she screamed then made another futile attempt to lunge at him again. “Let me go!”
“Sango don't you think you are behaving a little bit irrational?” Miroku questioned, struggling to hold her back.
“NO! He did something to her and I'm going to exact my revenge!” a growl of pain erupted in the clearing, all froze when they felt the surge of purification wash near them, only it wasn't aimed at any of those present.
All looked down to the thrashing form of Kagome on the ground as a purpleish pink light consumed her. Another cry of pain was ripped from her throat, this time more forceful than the first.
The pain was coming from all around her, she could do nothing to stop it, she was surrounded and weak. She thrashed again, trying to get lose of her bindings as the pain intensified. It was forming a cocoon around her, trapping her, burning her, slowly killing her.
Come now my little one, you need to eat, you can fight this… it was Alex's voice, why won't he leave her alone to die!
As if hearing her `traitorous' thoughts against him, her mark pulsed painfully, adding to the torture she was already experiencing.
“How do we stop it?” Sango asked fearfully, her friend's miko was turning on her, that was not a good sign.
“She needs blood” Sesshomaru answered calmly.
“What!” All three asked in shock. Whatever remedy they were thinking about, that was certainly not a part of it.
“She needs to drink blood. She needs to feed”
Sango reached out for the purple cocoon, willing to do anything to save her friend. She grabbed the rope and drug her friend up and held her against her.
“I do not think that would be wise” Sesshomaru advised as the ningen female placed the miko's head against her neck as a means to keep her up. He saw through the light as Kagome's mouth slowly opened.
With lightning speed he grabbed the miko's jaw and pulled her away from the tajiya. He let his guard down and within seconds, Kagome was feeding off his blood for the second time that night.
Kagome was in heaven; she quietly lapped up the heavenly fluid. She felt the pain subside and was happy.
Yes drink my little vixen, drink to your heart's content… Alex's voice rang in her ear. In the back of her hazy mind she wondered if he was being fed when she ate. She heard a small chuckle from the back of her subconscious but ignored it.
She retracted her fangs from the pale flesh and licked her lips. She sighed; she had a full stomach and was now ready for a little nap. She yawned heavily, showing her unusually sharp canines and let her eyes droop. A nap after her long awaited meal sounded good. Unfortunately, he plate had other things in mind.
Sesshomaru shook off the confused feeling that overcame him as he watched her drink, she then licked her now ruby red lips and yawned, apparently, she had, had her fill and was now ready to succumb to the realms of sleep.
He shook her, she wouldn't go to sleep just yet, not when there were many questions she needed to answer.
“What's going on?” Miroku asked, he had witnessed the little exchange between the demon lord and his friend and was now becoming highly confused, he wasn't the only one.
Kagome's midnight blue eyes looked over to him, she blinked then looked at the rest of them; they all wore similar looks of confusion, and also another she couldn't really decipher, was it fear? She looked back to Sesshomaru who was currently holding her against him; he was looking at her sternly.
“It happened again didn't it?” she asked quietly, he nodded.
“You need to explain to your colleagues,” he said after a pause.
“Can you untie me then?”
“Can you be trusted?” he asked plainly. She froze, that question hurt her in a way she couldn't really describe, but it was the truth. Could she be trusted?
She looked down at her bound hands, cold, pale, shaking…could she be trusted not to kill them all? She hoped so. She looked back up at him.
“I don't know,” she answered quietly.
“Then the bindings stay” he said resolutely, she nodded in submission.
“Just what the hell is going on here!” Inuyasha growled frustrated, he hated being confused and he hated it even more when answers were being kept from him.
“I think you should sit down, I have a lot I need to tell you” Kagome said nervously not looking over at them. Sesshomaru set her on the ground and sat off to the side, still within range if she happened to snap. He wasn't sure why he was being so cautious, but it would be worth the answers the miko would provide.
Kagome watched Miroku and Sango get comfortable on the ground. She too positioned herself as much as her bindings would allow, Inuyasha reluctantly sat. and watched Kagome as she got ready to speak.
“Kagome what is going on?” Sango asked, eyeing her friend's unhealthy pale palor.
Kagome heaved a sigh, “I, I am dead” she said.
“WHAT!” the group explained, thoroughly confused, Sesshomaru kept his thoughts to himself, obviously the onna was going to elaborate.
“Technically, I am dead, but I am able to live by feasting on blood. Blood sustains my body to allow me to live a parasitic existence.” She said.
“Lady Kagome, I do not understand” Miroku spoke, he was absorbing the information, but none of it made sense to him.
“I am what people in the future calls a `Vampire', my kind are referred to as the `Undead', we are the ultimate immortal.” She signed again, the more the referred to them as her kind, the more she was starting to believe it, she could also feel in the back of her mind that her true self was slipping away. But she didn't really understand why. “I was killed when I went home. I went to a party and I was seduced and bitten and my lifeblood drained, and then returned to me though a process of rebirth.
Once a vampire bites they have two choices, either to drain the host but leave the last few drops and kill them or drain them and feed the stolen blood back to them, thus turning them, killing them yet giving them life. A damned existence.”
“Why can't they fully drain the human if they want to kill them?” Sango asked after a while.
“To drink every drop is to give up your life with the human's, it is a way to get rid of those who are weak, too weak to fight the seduction of blood” she recited, it still amazed her about how she could access this information now, when she knew none of it before.
“Why did you come back here?” Inuyasha asked, he immediately regretted it as a pained expression came over Kagome's features
“I killed them.” She said, “I slaughtered them, then out of fear I ran, I would be hunted down in my time so I came to the place none of them knew.”
“Killed who?”
“My mother…and Souta” she said, “the worst part was that I liked it, the way their pulsed raced when I bit them, the scent of their fear, I enjoyed every minute of it.” She pushed her bangs from her eyes and they fell fright back into place, “I came back this morning when it was still dark out. I ran from the village. I didn't want you to see me, I didn't know what you'd think.”
“You were afraid that we'd shun you?” Miroku asked. Kagome nodded. “Why would we? We kept Inuyasha”
“Ye-hey!” Inuyasha glared at Miroku whose eyes sparkled mischievously.
“Is there any way to turn you back?” Sango asked desperately, tears were pouring down her face as she took in the fact that her friend was probably beyond help.
“No” Kagome said shaking her head, “I have died, I cannot live fully again, I live a half life now, I have to keep feeding or else my miko will consume me and try to kill me, to purge the evil out of my body. It will slowly kill me from the inside out, but…but I cant die.”
“Is that what happened?” Inuyasha ventured.
“Yes. I hadn't eaten since, the blood keeps my powers dormant, but when I get too hungry they are released and I go into blood lust to help me find food. My instincts have apparently noticed my intentional starvation” she said then looked at the ground, “but I don't want to feed, I don't want to kill, hence why I tried to starve myself, then I came upon that village, I was going to slaughter them all…until Sesshomaru found me” she said quietly
The clearing was silent as all parties present absorbed the information. The breeze blew pat silently. Then a lone voice broke the silence.
“Mama…”
tbc…..
there new chapter. I'm soooooooo extremely sorry for the long wait. I had a serious case of writer's block and I just recently got over it while I was looking through my `fic archives' (a pile of notebooks I have in a box) and I got new ideas, I hope it lasts long.
It must have been approx. 1 year since I updated this, plz don't kill me. It's a bit longer that my usual chapters, I hope, full of explanations and a tad bit boreing if you ask me…. Oh well that's just my opinion.
I do not know how the pairing is going. I'm not sure if there is even gonna be a pairing! Oh well, it flows and that's all that matters.
Oh well that's all I have to rant about-wait, no I have one more.
PLEASE READ. VERY IMPORTANT:
I recently got my report card, I failed 3 subjects so my rents have put me on partial lockdown. So that means longer updates (if any at all) and less interaction from me on this site. So I probably wont read a couple of fics for a while, though I might sneak a few, I woulnt be able to review, so I'm sorry in advance.
So yeah I think that's it now.
Plz review, they'll make me feel a bit better about my situation.
Until next time!
Psycho heartbreaker!
