Chapter 2
Several days passed since the incident, and Kagome had been behaving herself, relatively well. Though Sesshoumaru was an egotistical bastard, just like his brother, he was a bit better at keeping his temper in check, which Kagome was thankful for, though his sarcasm was getting on her last nerves. There were a few time she wished to the gods she could slap a charm necklace on him and give him a few good ones. She hadn’t tried to escape since the incident, but slowly she began concocting another plan for escape. ‘Once means you’re ignorant, but twice means you’re stupid’ Kagome told herself sarcastically. ‘Damn it! What am I picking up his sarcasm now?’ The past few nights she’d watched him sleep and noticed that when she moved under the covers his ears would twitch ever so slightly. She’d gathered that what he heard was the covers moving so she’d thought of a plan to get around that damned hearing of his.
In the other events that had happened in the past few days, Kagome had found the little girl named Rin to be quite the hand full, but she rather enjoyed the child’s company, despite this. The girl was sweet and kind, and talked ninety miles an hour if given the chance. She wondered how on earth she could live with Sesshoumaru and still keep her head attached to her body. The thought actually crossed her mind that perhaps the demon lord was some sort of pedophile and Rin was his play thing, but she quickly dismissed the thought, simply because of the way the child proved her affection for the youkai time and time again. Certainly if he had… touched her she wouldn’t act that way towards him. Besides, Sesshoumaru courting anyone was just strange. She couldn’t even picture him with his shirt off, much less nude in the throws of passion… She shook her head of the thought. ‘Strange girl why are you thinking of that sort of stuff’ She reprimanded herself mentally.
Though one strange thing had happened, at the mention of Sesshoumaru topless, since her arrival. Sesshoumaru’s arm had completely regenerated. Even he had seemed puzzled over the reason, but soon they discovered that the miko’s proximity had been the core reason. Her holy powers, oddly enough, had greatly boosted his healing abilities. Kagome felt even more horrible than she already did. He said nothing about it really, as if he re-grew lost limbs every other weekend. She didn’t even get so much as a thank you, even though she certainly didn’t do it consciously ‘ bastard…’
She sighed sadly. ‘I miss that idiot dog.’ She’d only been away from him for a few weeks, but she thought that if she were to see him the next instant she might just run up and kiss him square on the lips. ‘I hope that baka hasn’t gotten himself hurt while I’ve been gone.’ She really did miss him… The others too, but mostly Inuyasha.
Back to reality, Kagome noticed Sesshoumaru stop walking and sniff the air, cautiously. She glanced around but saw nothing unusual. She was just about to question the pause when she heard a soft feminine chuckle coming from the dense forest.
“Well well, if it isn’t Sesshoumaru, himself, come to pay us Low Landers a visit. Aren’t you a little ways out of your territory, Lord of the West?” the voice said, sounding none to friendly with the Daiyoukai.
Kagome backed up against the two headed dragon, feeling a little bit intimidated as she felt waves of youki begin to emanate from both the demon lord and the hidden strangers.
Sesshoumaru seemed rather calm, as he always did… perhaps too calm. “Anoki, I presume. I had no idea your pathetic tribe of misfits was still around. I was under the impression you all perished after Naoki hired you to assassinate the Lord of the North. Now I realize you must have taken the money and ran, am I correct? What more can be expected from a bunch of spineless cowards anyway, hm?”
A snarl came from the she-demon as she emerged from the undergrowth, a few of her tribe members accompanying her, while others remained in hiding. “I wasn’t about to die for the likes of Naoki. Besides she died by your hands shortly afterwards, did she not? I hear she fucked you good before you slit her throat.”
Sesshoumaru seemed like that statement peeved him ever so slightly, though he kept his face as emotionless as ever. “She died exactly like the whore she was. I know a similar whore that deserves the same fate.”
Anoki snarled, “You know as much as Naoki paid us to down that imbecile of the North, I’d happily kill you for free, damn egotistical bastard. You‘re whole family was a bunch of soil bloods! How on earth you father took the West is beyond me. At least he had the brains to have one pureblood son before he went out wooing his human bitches. And now!” She paused to laugh, “Look at you! Following right in his footsteps with your own little human whore!” She laughed again as she pointed to Kagome, with a menacing smile on her ruby lips.
Sesshoumaru’s grossly animalistic growl seemed to rumble the very ground they stood on, and Anoki’s smile only grew as she was ready to fight, finally, “I’ve heard enough from you over the last few years, and I’m delighted that this will be the last time I have to hear anymore. You and your miserable tribe have crossed me for the final time.”
Kagome could actually see the youki begin to flare up around the demons and that’s when Jaken frantically began ushering her and Rin away from the angry youkai. She did as she was directed, feeling much more vulnerable with Sesshoumaru than she did with Inuyasha. She had serious doubts he would lift a finger to protect her, should these mongrel demons decide to go for her. She was sure, in his mind, she was expendable, anyway. Before she’d gotten five steps there was an explosive impact that shook the ground and she heard the clash of weapons and the snarls of demons. She scurried behind the little girl, but just as she reached the tree line she was swiftly and painfully snatched back by her ankle, giving a sharp yelp as it happened.
“Where’re you off you in such a hurry, pretty one? The games are just beginning.” she heard a deep, raspy voice cackle as she was dragged across the rocky ground.
“Let me go! Please!” she cried in fright. She’d kill for her bow just about now… or on second thought, maybe she wouldn’t be killing much….
The disgustingly ugly youkai grabbed her up from the ground by her hair, and laughed heartily, “Aren’t you the brave little missy. What’s the matter? This wasn’t in the job description? Ha! Only here to warm his bed? Little slut,” he said as he slapped her hard across the face.
She cried in pain, “I did not! I’d never touch that bastard!” she screamed as she tried in vain to pry his hands from her person. “Let go!” her thrashing did little more than cause her pain and she felt the moisture well up in her eyes. “…Inuyasha” she whispered desperately.
She felt a blade being swiftly drawn down her front and felt a rush of air along with slight pain as her flesh was exposed and her clothing hung at her sides. She screamed as loud as she could, which was surprisingly deafening, but no sooner than she had done so she felt the youkai’s grip leave her person and saw before her a frighteningly angry Sesshoumaru ripping the aggressor’s jaw off with talons embedded to the knuckle in the demon’s jowl. He ripped the bone out and slung it away, his eyes swirling red with anger. The mongrel youkai fell and proceeded to convulse on the quickly reddening ground. Kagome was mortified and for a moment, could do nothing more than sit and stare at the dying creature, her shivering arms holding herself tightly. Sesshoumaru then came to stand before her, enemies attacking him ceaselessly, but few even getting close enough to wound. His movements were fluid, flawless, and absolutely incredible. She was mesmerized briefly before it dawned on her that he was protecting her, standing in-between the pack of demons and herself. It then registered that she should retreat to Jaken and Rin, but when she moved to stand pain shot through her ankle and she merely fell right back to the ground with a cry. She looked back over her shoulder, worry presented on her features.
Sesshoumaru was being heavily attacked by the mob of demons that actually began to push him back the slightest bit simply by the sheer number and consistency of their attacks. He was succeeding in repelling them, but he was unable to do anything but block without leaving himself open for another‘s attack. He could not go on the offensive, which in this situation was a grim happening. He finally decided if he was going to stop the ceaseless onslaught he was going to have to take injury simply so he could attack.
Kagome watched as he took a step back, then another, and again…. She was afraid for a moment. He was being pushed back. She crawled back a bit because the battle was getting just a tad too close for comfort. When she looked back over her shoulder she was shocked to see blood flying. His sword was impaled in one demon’s stomach, but another had struck him in the nape of his neck.
He whirled around and threw his talons into the offending youkai’s ribcage, with a snarl of contempt. As he quickly reclaimed his weapons from the dying bodies a twisted little dagger found itself into his abdomen and he let out a throaty gasp as his hand latched onto the she-demon’s face and squeezed the skull as if it were a rotten fruit, causing an eruption of blood to spill over both him and the ground. He growled aloud and leapt forward on the offensive, slaying 3 more with less effort than it had taken for the first 3.
Finally his blade found Anoki’s throat and she fell coughing up dark, gooey fluid that poured relentlessly before finally her body stopped moving. The remaining youkai attempted to escape, but Sesshoumaru made short work of the cowards and returned in little time, appearing as if he had decided to take a bath in a pool of blood. He stood before the miko, his breathing a bit faster than normal, but otherwise seemed perfectly normal.
“What wounds have you attained?” he said in a tone resembling one he might use while he was negotiating some sort of land treaty.
Kagome’s arms were still wrapped desperately around her nude breasts. There was a long moment of silence before she opened her mouth and out came a rather pitiful sounding sob. She’d looked death in the eye on occasion, but she‘d never gotten quite such a good look as that time.
Jaken ran out then, “Sesshoumaru-sama! You’ve been injured-”
“Jaken... Did I not order you to protect the miko?”
The toad’s eyes went wide, “I…. Ay, you did milord, but I tr-”
Sesshoumaru interrupted the toad as his sword came to be pointed directly between the smaller youkai’s round yellow eyes, “I do not accept excuses, Jaken.” he scowled dangerously. “No more mistakes. Now go tend to Rin.”
“Y-yes, milord! Immediately” he said as he scurried away as if his rear was on fire.
Kagome shivered slightly as she stared at the retreating form of the little demon when she felt powerful arms wrap around her and lift her from the rocky ground. Her eyes went wide and he’d begun walking before she’d fully realized he was carrying her.
“W-wait! What are-”
“Hush.” his smooth voice stopped hers dead.
After a moment he set her down and began the process of inspecting her injuries. “Lower you arms” he spoke as if he were telling a dog to sit.
Kagome’s cheeks went red, “I will not!” she all but shouted in reply.
Sesshoumaru gave a small growl of annoyance, clearly in no mood for disobedience, “ Lower them, or I will lower them for you.” his melodic voice held promise.
Kagome frowned and slowly, indecisively did as he commanded.
He stared for a moment as Kagome felt like she was about to cry. She kicked herself mentally, ‘just think of it like… you’re going to the doctor… Then why do I feel so violated...’
His eyes left her bosom and journeyed down to her rapidly swelling ankle. He stood up and walked away for a brief moment, returning with clean hands that were holding medical supplies. He replaced himself where he had been earlier and those frighteningly deadly hands found their way to her ankle, feeling and prying gently. Kagome winced once or twice and watched his placid hands move over her bruising ankle.
He spoke then, his voice somewhat calming, “It’s probably just sprained.” His hands then began to wrap the sore appendage in bandages. “Try not to move it if you can. It should heal.” he spoke again sounding perfectly professional.
Then he came back to the long gash that ran from her collar bone almost down to her belly button, but her arms had somehow found their way back to cover her exposed breasts. He didn’t speak, but simply looked at her and her arms slowly lowered to her sides.
He set a pail beside her that he had brought from Aun’s saddle pack and pulled from it a wet rag that he used to dab at her lightly bleeding wound. Kagome sat very still, feeling a bit afraid. He was almost tender as he cleaned the blood away from her wound, which, for a moment, the miko though was imagined rather than reality. Then there was a small container in his grip and he dipped two fingers in, drawing them out coated in a thick viscous substance that had a powerful scent. He placed the fingers to the top of her wound and drew them down slowly, and gently. Kagome swore she felt her heart jump up into her throat as his soft, slick fingers passed the swell of her breast and continued down toward her naval. She couldn’t help the immediate snap of her eyes to his face as he touched her skin. His expression was as stoic as ever though… it always was, really… except for the occasional expression of anger, but few lived to tell about that. He repeated the motion from the bottom, up this time, and ended finally by screwing the cap back onto the jar of medicine. He stood and walked away from her a few paces, leaving the medicine beside her seated form and began to remove his blood soaked armor. Underneath the armor his white haori had a deep stain just left of his navel. He didn’t stop at the armor though, he shrugged out of the upper garments and let them hang from his waist as he inspected himself.
Kagome watched him intently as she pulled together what was left of her shirt, and held it closed in the front so that at least she had something to cover up with. She couldn’t quite get a look at the wound on his belly, but the one on his nape looked rather unsightly, to say the least. There was a large flap of skin that hung from it, still trickling a few drops of blood down his back ever so often. It wasn’t bleeding terribly, but Kagome assumed that was because he was already beginning to heal. He pulled his long, silver hair over his unwounded shoulder and tied it in a loose ponytail with a small strip of the bandages, before he seated himself near the bucket of water he’d used to clean her wound and went to work on his own.
The miko watched him briefly. He worked on the one on his shoulder first, dabbing at it lightly and then he winced, though it was very subtle. Kagome almost felt bad. She picking up the medicine jar and crawled the short distance to his side, “Can I?”
He seemed the slightest bit surprised but after a pause he opened the hand containing the wash cloth and she took it slowly. She dabbed at the gory looking lesion, trying to be as tender as she could so as not to cause him any pain. But then she wondered why she should care if he’s in pain. After everything he’d done to her, she felt like she should rejoice if he was in pain, but… here she was feeling sorry that he was hurt. Perhaps he did have some good things about him. He did save her. Although, knowing him, she’d probably just caused her first born a lifetime of slavery. She sighed and lowered the rag so that she could pick up the medicine again. She smoothed the gooey substance onto the gash, flicking her eyes back to his visage as she touched his hot skin.
His eyes were closed and his face turned slightly away from her. She could hear him breathing… deep, calm breaths… Then his eyes opened again, as she felt him jump under her touch.
“Sorry…” she murmured as she removed her moist digits.
He remained quiet and only shook his head before she moved down to the wound on his stomach. She cleaned it and applied the ointment, feeling, all the while, embarrassed to no end. After all she didn’t often go around rubbing oil on half-naked men. And despite her repulsion at the thought, Sesshoumaru really was nice on the eyes, ‘especially with his shirt off…’ She nearly slapped herself at the thought. ‘He’s a damn asshole, good looking or not!’ she growled in her own mind. Momentarily she wondered what he thought of her… but the thought was short lived when she was reminded what he thought of her.
“That’s enough. Lay down and be silent.” he said as he rose, “Nightfall is not too far off, We shall stay here for now.”
* * *
Over the next few weeks Kagome suffered through the youkai’s antics, and Rin really seemed the only one to give her a break. In the morning Sesshoumaru carried her to Aun’s saddle and Kagome hated this part of the day the most of all. He never said anything, but Kagome always felt like he was repulsed when he touched her. She found that she missed Inuyasha more than ever these days and she thought of him constantly. She felt so lonely.
Soon she would be able to be reunited. As soon as her ankle was well enough she would run back to him. And when he saw her he would run to her and they would embrace and he would kiss her so deeply she would lose her breath… or at least her imagination saw it this way. But in her imagination there was one very large factor that was minimized… Things seems so hopeless.
At night Kagome would always cry. It never seemed to fail. She would usually fall asleep before she cried, but then she would wake up from dreams of her friends and the tears would come.
Sesshoumaru watched her at night, weeping like a child. At first he merely closed his eyes and tuned out the irritating noise, but now when he heard her he would watch. Questions would rise in his mind as to what her dreams had been about. Although he had a good idea of whom may have been in them. She would call for him on occasion. Not loud, but enough for him to catch the name on the wind. He disliked that name. He disliked it on her lips just as much as he disliked it on his own. His brother was nowhere near them, and he would keep it that way, for he knew she had yet to learn her lesson. She still yearned to be free of him and she saw Inuyasha as that freedom. He knew better. If she strayed from him she would die. If not by his own hands then by another‘s. And Inuyasha would not come. ‘He doesn’t know you still live, little one. And he’ll never know, because you are mine... for now and forever.’
Sesshoumaru had always been possessive by nature, but he felt particularly possessive of this little miko he’d claimed. Should Inuyasha ever discover her, he would not surrender her to the half-breed. If the pup persisted he would not overlook the hanyou’s death. He’d been generous with the boy thus far. Family ties had at the very least spared the half-breed’s life, but Sesshoumaru would only be pushed so far before he pushed back. And knowing Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru knew he wouldn’t give up, but that only left death for the imbecile. No great loss in his opinion, but he’d been told he was a poor judge of values before.
The youkai watched the miko, tonight. She cried again, and again he observed. Her tears smelt strongly and every morning the scent of them made him uneasy. He didn’t know why they affected him in such a way, but really, he disliked it. He wished she wouldn’t weep so often. Her scent was always soured by the tears. He tried not to reprimand her too much, for she tended to cry more on the days he did so. He felt there was nothing he could do to stop her, other than reprimand her for doing it, but that seemed like it would be ineffective even without testing it too see.
She had quieted down now and closed her eyes again. He sighed lightly and closed his’ as well. Tomorrow they would be heading into the Eastern Country, and it was notorious for it’s unruly inhabitants. It seemed perfectly suitable for the likes of Naraku. He’d be right at home.
* * *
Finally Kagome’s ankle felt good enough to walk on and she was certainly glad for that. No more Sesshoumaru carrying her around. She was actually a bit excited because she was planning another escape attempt, and this time she knew the youkai’s behavior a bit better than she had on the previous attempt. She was sure she could make it away from him this time, then all there was left to do was wait for Inuyasha to catch the scent. He couldn’t be that far off. After all, they were both following the same enemy. Yes. Inuyasha was sure to pick up her scent. She had only to wait for the opportune time.
The youkai stopped and gave his usual commands, though he didn’t have to give as many as he used to, for the miko had learned the routine fairly accurately in the past two months. Rin snuggled down into her soft covers, smiling contently as she began to fall asleep. Jaken too wiggled down into his little sleeping bag, squirming for a few minutes until he finally got comfortable and lay still. Kagome laid beside the little girl, her covers only partially covering her lower body.
The demon lord seated himself against a tree trunk. He seemed weary. The day had brought a few scuffles with some mediocre demons, nothing he couldn’t handle, but still there seemed to be a bit more than usual, and he must have exerted himself on so many. Kagome pretended to sleep and waited, maybe even dozed a little bit.
After what seemed to be a long time she opened her eyes. The moon had moved in the sky so she concluded a good amount of time had passed. She turned her head slightly, her eyes falling upon the demon lord’s silent form. He actually looked peaceful in the soft moonlight. Slowly, very slowly, Kagome stood from her bed. She had kicked her covers from her person earlier in the night, so he wouldn’t hear them when she moved. ‘So far so good…’ She thought. She crept slowly away. Every step she placed as if she was walking on thin ice.
The slow, agonizing creep away from the camp was possibly the most suspenseful experience of her life. But finally, She’d made it so far that the fire light had become lost in the trees and she knew she was out of earshot. She began a faster pace, trotting a bit, heading back the way they’d journeyed that day. Things were going along first rate, but she wasn’t about to let her guard down now. He’d surprised her before, and she wasn’t going to let him do it again. She knew he’d pick up her scent first thing when he awoke to find her missing, so she’d have to cover it up somehow. The best way would be to find water and travel there. Oh she couldn’t wait! Inuyasha! Sango! Miroku! Shippo! Even Kirara. Just to see all of them again…
She kept a good walking pace for what seemed like forever, but she estimated it had probably not even been half an hour. Her ankle felt a tiny bit sore, but nothing too severe, just a slight discomfort, really. She could hear running water and quickened her pace a bit. ‘Almost there’ She could see the stream through the trees now, the moon‘s reflection glistening on the water‘s surface.
She stood at the edge of the stream and slowly slid down the bank into the waist deep water. ‘This will work.’ she told herself as she began to walk, pleased that the bottom wasn’t too rocky. However, as she went about her business, she suddenly heard a bizarre call coming from the bank. It sounded somewhat like the cry of a whale… Kagome suddenly grew very afraid.
* * *
Sesshoumaru had been jolted awake by a scream in the distance. His first thought was Kagome, and sure enough she was gone. He cursed under his breath and leapt to his feet, taking off in the direction of the cry. He rushed to the scene, knowing at the very least the woman was still alive, though with the way she was screaming he wasn’t sure how long. He certainly didn’t have any trouble finding her, that was for sure. When he laid eyes on the miko, he saw exactly why she was screaming so desperately.
Kagome was being harshly restrained as the demon had it’s way with her, her hakama hanging off of her lower half in rags. Sesshoumaru sneered as he stood a few yards from them. Kagome’s teary eyes went to him and her hand reached desperately to him. The demon’s egg tubes were penetrating her vaginal opening, and Sesshoumaru could smell a scent of blood in the air.
“Perhaps you’ll learn your lesson, bitch.” He said coldly as he stepped forward and disemboweled the demon with the swipe of his youki whip. It screamed as undeveloped eggs fell out across the ground, along with it’s innards. It fell back into the river as it gave one last spasm in it’s death throws.
Kagome cried loudly as she held herself in a tight ball, making sure her legs were tightly shut. The demon lord stood over her for a moment, silent as he reclaimed his temper. His face softened as he watched the female bawling into her hands.
He knelt beside her, “I didn’t mean that…” he said, sounding ashamed. “Come, Kagome. Let us walk a bit.”
Kagome shook her head violently, never ceasing her sobbing. The demon lord sighed and waiting for the woman to calm herself. He hated it when females cried… It was disturbing to him somehow… Slowly, almost timidly, he put his arm around her shoulder and, to his surprise, she seemed to curl herself up against him. Crying into his haori, her sobs gradually grew quieter and less frequent, until finally they stopped.
The demon’s eyes were focused into the dark forest, and his expression was as unreadable as ever. Kagome lifted her head, her eyes sheepishly looking up at him. He turned to look at her as well, and for a moment they stared at each other in awkward silence before he removed his arm and she moved away. Kagome sniffled.
Sesshoumaru spoke then, trying not to upset her again, “I know you won’t like this, but it would be best if you allowed me to inspect your violated area.”
Kagome nearly screamed out “What?!” and immediately her arms went to hold herself and she leaned away.
“That demon was attempting to lay it’s eggs. If they were to hatch inside of you I’m sure it would be an excruciatingly slow death.” He paused as he observed her seemingly horrified expression. “Just suffer the indignity for a moment for your own sake.”
Kagome was shivering slightly as her eyes looked up at him, her lip quivering as tears formed again, and Sesshoumaru almost felt like he was the one guilty of the crime. He knelt in front of her placing one hand on her knee and nudged gently, so as not to seem too forceful. Kagome’s tears rolled down her cheeks and she shook her head as she stared desperately at him, squeezing her legs tighter together.
Sesshoumaru frowned, “I’m not going to hurt you, Kagome. Just relax yourself for a moment.”
After some coaxing he got her legs apart and slowly pressed his fingers in. trying to avoid her pleasure point as he felt inside. Sure enough his claw brushed against a foreign body and he inserted his thumb so that he could grab it and she whimpered. It hurt, obviously, but he pulled it out with little difficulty. He tossed it aside and felt inside for anymore, but found none.
Kagome was quiet. She didn’t know what was worse, the God forsaken rapist or, Sesshoumaru digging around for eggs. She’d never felt so violated in all her life. She heard him say something, but was too lost in her own mind to comprehend. She looked at him then, her eyes still watery. He returned her stare, as if he expected her to answer something.
“I said ‘I’m done,’ Miko. You can sit up now.” He said as he rose to his feet.
Kagome sat up, with a whimper. Her eyes were trained on the ground and she noticed her tattered hakama then, and shrugged out of it, covering herself with just the long haori. Sesshoumaru walked over to the river and washed his hands in the cool water, ignoring the corpse that lay a few yards downstream.
He stood up from the bank and walked back over to the miko. “Come,” he said softly, “I will carry you back.”
