Sesshoumaru broke into the riverside clearing, displaying a calm he did not feel.
His heart was hammering in his chest, his eyes were tinged pink. His control hung by a dangerously thin thread.
The scent of blood was heavy here, cloying. So thick it seemed to coat his throat and tongue. His need to protect and comfort rose and he squashed it down firmly.
He dared not take his eyes from the shadowy form of his opponent. He would need to finish this quickly and aid the fallen miko.
Reaching out with his power he sought her priestess powers. There. Faint. Weakening.
‘Hold on Kagome’ he silently willed her.
“Sess…..” she whimpered, as though she had heard his thoughts, “’m sorry”
Kagome was flooded with relief that he had come. She let her head drop the river bank and tried to focus on breathing. One painful breath and a time.
Sesshoumaru wanted to rush to her, gather her up, but danger was will present.
“Rest.” Was all he said. Then his fine leather boots vanished from her sight and she knew he was going after the demon.
‘But if she dies’ a small voice argued to him, ‘she is gone forever. Tenseiga has saved her once.’
‘I cannot just leave her’
‘Defeat your enemy swiftly.’
“So the great lord descends to the humble masses” came a richly mocking voice.
Golden eyes cut to the side, the pink slowly darkening.
“Show yourself.” Sesshoumaru commanded.
There was a dark, malevolent chuckle then, and the shadows shifted to reveal a face nearly forgotten in the fog of time.
Sesshoumaru’s face remained impassive. “You.”
“I’m so pleased that you haven’t forgotten me Sesshoumaru.” The other cooed to him.
“Kagerou, the Oni. What are you doing here? Why have you attacked the miko?”
The other cocked his head then, ruby eyes shining with mirth, he twirled a long finger in his lavender hued curls. “So cold. Miko?” He laughed brightly and gestured to the tattered heap of woman. “You cannot lie to me Sesshoumaru. She is far more than a priestess to you.” His eyes narrowed then he smiled brightly, “Oh. Was.”
Against his own will, Sesshoumaru’s eyes shifted to the side to look.
If he hadn’t been so familiar with her powers, he might not have felt them. This was bad. He had to hurry.
Kagerou sighed as he leapt forward, horns sprouting from his pale hair. “Never turn your back to me Sesshoumaru!”
Without sparing him a glance, Sesshoumaru unsheathed Tokijin and slashed at him. Kagerou twisted, landing safely away. “Tch. I had expected more from the great lord of the west. You seem to have lost your vicious edge. Human bitches aren’t a due sheathe to hone a demon. But then, your rather proved that long ago.”
Sesshoumaru looked past him as though bored.
Kagerou sighed again, glancing at Kagome. Sesshoumaru wanted to gouge his eyes out.
“I had hoped she would live just a bit longer. You are intoxicated by this scent are you not? I had hoped you would lose yourself in your bloodlust.”
The oni looked put out.
“You are foolish to believe that this Sesshoumaru can be manipulated in any manner. I asked why you have come.”
Kagerou’s pretty face crumpled in his rage. His oni appearance becoming apparent. “I came to kill you. That should be obvious. I will repay your insult from that time.”
He lunged again, and this time Sesshoumaru engaged him. Kagerou was neither weak nor clumsy, but Sesshoumaru had no doubts of his victory. Steel slapped against steel, sparks jumping in the darkness like tiny bolts of lightning in their storm. Their eyes sought weakness in their opponent.
Kagerou had few, and he guarded them jealously.
Sesshoumaru had but one, and Kagerou had already lost the advantage of it. Long minutes passed as they fought.
Sesshoumaru slashed again, catching the edge of Kagerou’s blade and sent it flying through the air. The Oni was winded now, and staggered back. He flexed his claws, poised to strike.
“Give up” Sesshoumaru said then, “You are beneath me.”
“I am your equal! No! Above you!” Kagerou screamed, “You will acknowledge me! For the glory of my clan!”
Sesshoumaru snorted, “You have no glory and soon you will have no clan. I acknowledge only your stupidity and their impending demise. You signed their death warrants when you breached my lands.”
“You owe me...” Kagerou hissed, “For what you have done, you will pay.”
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes, “What I have done?”
Kagerou pounced, “You damaged me. Ruined me.”
“I fought you, “Sesshoumaru stated coldly, “You lost.”
They slashed and hacked at one another and then with a slight misstep Kagerou found himself impaled by Sesshoumaru’s claws.
He tried to leap back but Sesshoumaru’s pale knuckles undulated inside of his flesh and the rancid scent of melting flesh filled the area.
“I will not ruin you” Sesshoumaru promised, “No, this time I shall end you. You have touched what is mine.”
Kagerou grinned with bloody teeth, “Not…over…”’
Then he vanished into a burst of winged worms, some falling from the heavens as Sesshoumaru’s poison devoured them. Sesshoumaru saw that some escaped and crouched to leap after them.
No, Kagome must come first.
Turning, he hurried to Kagome.
With gentle hands, he carefully gathered her up and turned her over in his arms.
Her face was stark white and the soil below her was black and sticky with her blood. Her clothing was little more than tattered ribbons hanging from her.
Elegant, bloodstained fingers, slid along her throat, the faintest of pulses was present. Slowly, her eyes opened, clouded with pain.
He clenched his jaw until his teeth hurt. He held his breath.
“Se….?”
“I am here.”
“ is….dead?”
“He is defeated”
“Am I dying?” Her gaze was fixed now at some point above.
He clutched her tighter, “I will not allow that.”
“Sorry…” she wheezed.
He was already standing with her in his arms, “Do not speak Kagome. You are badly injured.”
She let her head fall against his shoulder.
