Chapter 8- A Battle Between Two Lords

Naraku stared in disbelief at the man standing in the doorway. Sesshomaru took the advantage and grabbed Toukijin (sorry for the spelling). He pointed it at Naraku letting ice shoot out of the end of his sword, and it hit Naraku. The bed collapsed. Sesshomaru ran over to Kagome and picked her up. Naraku was lying unconscious in the pile of the collapsed bed. Kagome began sobbing in Sesshomaru's arms. He held her protectively trying to calm her as he walked out of the castle.

“Kagome shhh…. It's ok. He's never going to touch you again. I promise.” Sesshomaru soothed. Kagome slowly stopped crying and snuggled against Sesshomaru's chest. They had almost reached the forest when all of a sudden a chilling laugh filled the air.

“Now now, you didn't think it would be that easy to get away, did you Sesshomaru?” Naraku said while walking towards Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glared at Naraku. “Kagome stay out of this. I don't want you getting hurt.” Sesshomaru said while setting Kagome down. He unsheathed Toukijin preparing to tear Naraku to shreds.

“Sesshomaru, I want to fight him too.” Kagome said determined.

“No Kagome I don't want you to get hurt.” Sesshomaru repeated, although he did admire her strength. Kagome opened her mouth to protest but stopped when she saw the caring in Sesshomaru's eyes. She slowly backed up against a tree, waiting with her heart pounding madly, for the fight to begin.

Naraku had retreated a small distance waiting for Sesshomaru to make the first move. He had a sickening grin on his face. Sesshomaru still held Toukijin tightly in his fist. He glared at Naraku. Suddenly he sped towards Naraku preparing to strike. Naraku quickly stepped out of the way and sent blue bolts of lightning towards Sesshomaru, which he easily dodged.

“You are a good fighter Sesshomaru, but you still do not match my strength.” Snarled Naraku. Sesshomaru growled and dashed towards Naraku again. He cut Naraku's stomach, but it wasn't bad enough to kill him. Naraku howled in pain getting angrier. He suddenly shot up into the air and sent a bolt of lightning to Sesshomaru again. It struck Sesshomaru with such a force that he smashed into the ground.

“Sesshomaru!” Kagome yelled ready to run to his aid, but suddenly he slowly sat up. His eyes were blood red and he was breathing heavily. Kagome stepped back, she knew what it was like when Inuyasha turned full demon, and she knew it would be worse with Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru slowly stood up, his eyes still blood red with fury. He sheathed Toukijin, ready to fight with his bare claws which were dripping with poison. He shot at Naraku missing, but went after him again with more success. He sliced Naraku's arm open.

The poison began spreading through his arm as he cried out in pain. It was still not enough to kill Naraku though. Sesshomaru sped back towards Naraku again and cut up his arm even more. Naraku quickly grabbed Sesshomaru's arm and slammed him against the ground.

He then sliced Sesshomaru's chest and threw him across the ground.

“Sesshomaru!” Kagome screamed again racing to his side. She began crying as she knelt down beside him.

“I'm alright Kagome.” Sesshomaru said weakly.

“No you're not.” Kagome cried hugging him. Naraku began racing towards the both of them. A pink barrier began forming around Kagome and Sesshomaru as she looked up and saw Naraku racing towards them. She screamed when Naraku tried to strike them, but he was thrown back by the barrier. The barrier then slowly faded away.

“How…. How did I do that?” asked Kagome in shock. Sesshomaru was just as puzzled as she was. Suddenly a yellow light hit Kagome and she was thrown against a tree.

“Kagome!” Yelled Sesshomaru. Naraku was laughing. Sesshomaru's eyes turned red again, redder than before. He had the scariest look you had ever seen. “You won't ever touch her again.” Growled Sesshomaru. Naraku just laughed again.

Sesshomaru raced towards Naraku. He slashed his chest deeply. Naraku tried to strike Sesshomaru back but missed. He was growing weaker and he could tell. He still had enough power to fight though. He tried again to strike Sesshomaru and succeeded. Sesshomaru flew to the ground unconscious.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. An enormous pain shot through her body and she winced. She glanced ahead of her and saw Sesshomaru lying on the ground. Ignoring the pain, she drew an arrow and placed it carefully. Kagome began focusing every ounce of energy she had left on the arrow. A pink light began forming at the tip of it ahs she released it.

The arrow flew with tremendous speed towards her target. The last thing she saw before falling to the ground was Naraku falling along with her.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes to see Naraku being struck by an amazingly bright pink light. He then saw Kagome and Naraku fall to the ground. “Kagome…” he practically whispered.

Sesshomaru ran to Kagome. She was laying on the ground covered in blood and cuts. He quickly checked to see if she had a pulse. She did. Sesshomaru's heart rose a little as he picked up Kagome's small, fragile body. He began running back to his castle. He had to tend to Kagome's wounds before it was too late.

Hours later Sesshomaru came within sight of his castle. He could smell his brother and his companions. Sesshomaru jumped up onto his balcony, not wanting to deal with Inuyasha at the moment. He slowly walked to his bed and placed Kagome on top of the covers. Kagome's clothes were covered in blood. Sesshomaru stripped off her clothes and threw them to the side.

He quickly got some water and a cloth, then began cleaning and bandaging Kagome's bruises. After cleaning Kagome up, Sesshomaru threw bloody cloth and water away, then places the covers over Kagome. He kissed her lightly on the cheek then went to tend to his own wounds.

About half an hour later he went to the main floor and saw Inuyasha and his companions sitting on a couch. Inuyasha bolted up when Sesshomaru entered the room.

“Where is Kagome?” demanded Inuyasha.

“She is fine. She got hurt pretty bad and now she is resting. Do not bother her. You can see her when she wakes up and wants to see you.” Said Sesshomaru. Sango had a worried look on her face along with Shippo. She hoped her friend would be all right.

Sesshomaru then headed into the kitchen, he was starving. It seemed like he hadn't eaten in days. As soon as he sat downs a servant came in and put a plate of food in front of Sesshomaru. He quickly ate it.

Suddenly Rin came running through the door. “Lord Sesshomaru! I'm so happy you're back!” She squealed. Sesshomaru hugged Rin and patted her on the head.

“I have someone I want you to meet later.” Said Sesshomaru.

“Is it the pretty lady I didn't get to meet last time you were here?” asked Rin hopefully.

“Yes. Now go along and play.” Finished Sesshomaru as he patted Rin on the head. `God, these two girls have made me go soft.' Thought Sesshomaru as he watched Rin run out of the kitchen. He smiled slightly and got up to go to his study. He had a lot of work to do since he hadn't gotten much done lately.

Sesshomaru entered his study and walked over to his beautiful wooden desk. The walls were colored red and there were paintings scattered among the walls. There was a large red couch along with a chaise. (A chaise is sort of a long chair and one of the armrests is longer than the other) A fireplace was lit on one of the walls. Sesshomaru sighed and took out some paperwork.

“It didn't really help much though because his mind kept wandering back to Kagome. He was worried if she was going to be all right. She had suffered quite a bit. Even if the worst were to happen he could bring her back with the Tensuiga. (Sorry for the spelling) He finally pushed Kagome out of his mind and started working.

A few hours later Kagome finally stirred. Her head throbbed as she sat up and winced in pain. `Where am I?' Kagome asked herself. Suddenly memories started flowing through her like a wave. She remembered Naraku kidnapping her, then Sesshomaru coming to save her. Then she killed Naraku.

`Wait, this is Sesshomaru's castle.' Kagome remembered. She had seen his room once before and remembered that this was it. She blushed as she realized she had nothing but her underwear and bra on and that Sesshomaru must have changed her.

Kagome slowly stood up and saw a beautiful silver and black kimono at the end of the bed. She quickly slipped it on then stepped out of the room. All of a sudden her stomach growled and she realized she was starving. She decided to quickly eat something before findings Sesshomaru.

She headed to the kitchen and when she stepped inside she saw Inuyasha and all of her friends eating, even thought you couldn't really say Kikyou was her friend.

“Kagome!” cried Sango and Shippo at the same time. They both ran to Kagome and hugged her. “How are you?” asked Sango with a worried expression.

“I feel fine! What are you all doing here?” questioned Kagome excitedly.

“We made a deal with Sesshomaru. We told him where Naraku's castle was and in exchange he let us stay here until we got to see you.” Explained Sango.

“Oh…” Kagome's excited look died away as she saw Inuyasha, “H… hi Inuyasha.” Kagome smiled weakly. Inuyasha suddenly grabbed Kagome into an embrace.

“I'm so sorry Kagome.” Said Inuyasha. Kagome smiled.

“It's ok.” She assured. Inuyasha let her go and smiled. Kagome sat down nest to Sango and began eating.

“It's good to see you again Kagome-chan.” Miroku said happily.

“Thanks Miroku. I missed you all so much.” Kagome replied. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence. When Kagome was done she stood up and said, “Well I'm going to go rest. We can talk more later.” She quickly left the room wandering down the halls looking for Sesshomaru.

All of a sudden Jaken came around a corner. “Jaken, where is Sesshomaru?” asked Kagome.

“Why should I tell you you worthless human?” replied Jaken rudely. Kagome grabbed his throat.

“Listen you little toad, I've had enough of you being rude to me! Now where is Sesshomaru!” Kagome yelled.

“H… he's down the h… hall t… to the right in his s… study.” Jaken choked. Kagome let him fall to the ground and started walking down the hall to her right. She slowly opened the door to see if it was the right room. She relaxed when she saw Sesshomaru sitting in a chair at a lovely wooden desk scribbling something down.

Sesshomaru looked up. Kagome smiled at him. Sesshomaru ran to Kagome and swooped her up into a giant embrace and kissed her.

“How do you feel?” asked Sesshomaru concerned.

“Fine.” Smiled Kagome. Sesshomaru sat down on the red couch and pulled Kagome into his lap. They sat there for a while not saying anything. They were just happy to be near each other again. Finally Kagome broke the silence.

“Sesshomaru…. What exactly happened at the end of that battle?” Kagome asked. Sesshomaru sat for a few seconds as if having to think about her question.

“Well, the first time you passed out I attacked Naraku, then he struck me and I too fell unconscious.” Sesshomaru began. Slightly angry at the thought of being struck. “Then apparently you woke up and killed Naraku with you arrow. Right when it his him I woke up and then I saw you fall unconscious again. You would have died if you had used one more bit on energy. So I knew I had to tend to you quickly, so I got you and headed straight back to my castle.” Sesshomaru finished.

Kagome pondered what Sesshomaru had just told her. She eventually just sighed and relaxes against Sesshomaru. “Thank you for saving me.” Kagome said quietly. Sesshomaru lifted her chin and kissed her sweetly.

“I love you Kagome.” Sesshomaru said.

“I love you too.” Theo both smiled at each other then slowly fell into a dreamless sleep.
