The group had managed to dodge the lingering stares and gazes from those still in the halls and make it to the common room. Professors themselves didn't bother them, and those who asked what happened were shot down by Tamaki as he told them he had it taken care of and that everything was okay. Sesshomaru used his nose to direct himself to what he assumed was the miko's bedroom, and gently placed her on the bed, not unnoticed by those who followed him in. They all crowded around the bed.
"Shouldn't we take her to the hospital wing?" Hermione questioned, concern for Kagome laced in her voice.
"That will just draw more attention and rumors to Kagome; something I'm sure she does not want," Tamaki stated.
"She needs medical attention! Look at those gashes! I'm bloody hell surprised that she is still alive." Ron squeaked out, looking a bit green.
Inuyasha, who hasn't spoken since they entered the castle, finally spoke, "She will heal." Everyone looked at him curiously. "If she is any part of a demon, she will heal. She just has too. It's what demons do." Everyone could hear the desperation in his voice, though he was certainly trying to hide it.
Tamaki walked closer to his niece's bedside, and when Sesshomaru emitted a low growl in warning, his eyes sharply rose to meet the youkai's. No one else had noticed, either not within hearing range, or too distracted with their worry. Tamaki kept his gaze leveled on Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru, pull back your beast. I respect you because I respected and grew up around your father. I am, however, your elder and she is my niece." The growling cut off, just as the rest of the group started to become more observant of the two demon lords' behaviors. Tamaki placed himself closer to the bed and grasped one of Kagome's hands, closing his eyes as he concentrated. After a moment, his eyes opened. Everyone was looking at him expectantly, and he looked back at them with a grave face. "It is worse than I thought. The injury she sustains has caused her to shut off her mind from the pain. She will not wake up because her wounds are not healing at the rate they should." Hermione covered her mouth with one hand, grabbing hold of Ron's with the other and Harry placed his hand on her shoulder in comfort. Sango looked to Miroku and they both glanced at Inuyasha, whose eyes were hidden behind his silver bangs. Tamaki swept his gaze around the room once more before they landed on Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru, you must heal her."
Sesshomaru turned to Tamaki in surprise. "This Sesshomaru takes orders from no one."
Upon hearing Tamaki's command to his older half-brother, Inuyasha unshielded his eyes and took a few steps closer to the demons. "Wait just a minute! What can Sesshomaru do to heal her, and why would he?"
Tamaki turned his eyes to rest on Inuyasha. "You are aware that certain demons have healing properties within their saliva. Sesshomaru carries the power of poison, which in turn renders his saliva as a very potent healing tool. His saliva will heal Kagome's wounds at a much more accelerated rate than any other remedy I can think of. As for why he would heal her, well…that is something you will have to ask him yourself." He looked once more at the demon lord. "You may not take orders from others Lord Sesshomaru, but we both know you will heal her. The reasons why you will heal her we both know as well, though you may not have admitted them to yourself yet. Question is, is your reasoning and feelings because of her progressing condition? Or is it for another reason entirely?"
Sesshomaru snarled at the other demon before him and his hidden assumptions. "Do not begin to act like you know me. You may have known my father but also know this: I am not him."
"Will you heal Kagome or not Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru gave Tamaki his icy glare. He did not want to agree to heal the miko in front of all these people. However, his beast was stirring within him more so than before, upset that the girl was injured as she is. "Yes. I will heal the miko, but everyone else must leave the room."
Tamaki smiled to himself knowingly. He understood Sesshomaru's need for privacy. The demon lord had too much pride to stoop in front of all these people and clean Kagome's wounds. Before he could agree to his terms, however, Inuyasha butted in, naturally.
"Hell no. Hell, Hell no! I am not going to allow this uptight prick to l-lick Kagome's chest!" Inuyasha shouted in disgust, waving his arms madly around. "Especially without another person in the room! There has got to be another way to get Kagome's wounds to heal." His arms finally rested at his sides, fists clenched as he glared at the demons before him. Sesshomaru leveled his gaze at his younger brother.
"Inuyasha, I think we should allow Sesshomaru to do it," Miroku said, face serious as ever.
Inuyasha's scowl was redirected towards the monk. "Why the hell should we let him do that? Has anyone forgotten who we are talking about here? Hello! This is my twisted, evil, older half-brother who has tried to kill us more times than I can count! Not happening."
Sango stepped forward, still gazing at the girl who had become the sister she never had. "Inuyasha…I think Miroku is right. While I do not fully trust Sesshomaru either, no offense," She looked to the daiyoukai who just stared at her, "But I care much more about Kagome's well-being. If Tamaki says that it will be alright, I trust his judgment, for he is Kagome's uncle after all. And besides, we will all be right outside the door, and will be able to hear if anything suspicious is happens."
Inuyasha's rage did not lesson because of his friends' opinions, but their words did seem to reach him. He looked between the crowd in Kagome's room before resting his gaze on the inuyoukai Lord once more. "Fine, but if I suspect anything out of the ordinary, I'll be breaking down the door and ripping your head off."
"Hn."
While the brothers were busy having a staring match, Hermione noticed something else very important and stopped out of the comfort of Harry and Ron to address it with everyone. "I don't mean to butt in or anything, but what about Kagome's state of undress?" Hermione's words sank in as everybody's eyes fell to Kagome and then most were adverted. Besides Sesshomaru's hankimono, which was shredded across the top, Kagome's body was bare of clothing. The part of the hankimono that wasn't shredded hardly reached Kagome's knees, and had ridden up besides since Sesshomaru carried her and placed her on the bed.
"Sango and Hermione, do us the favor of making her decent while we wait outside. Let Sesshomaru know when she's ready." Tamaki said as he started ushering the others out the door. The females nodded, happy to help their friend regain her dignity.
Sesshomaru stood there while the others shuffled out of the room. The girls looked at him expectedly. "Clean out her wounds with water and be sure to put garments on her that still exposes them." With that, he turned to walk out and closed the door behind him.
The girls got to work, one wetting a cloth and gently wiping the blood and grit from her wounds while the other made sure to put her in better clothing. Hermione hissed at the condition of Kagome's chest. The wounds were jagged and ugly; she was surprised that Kagome could survive such a thing. "Are they sure that Sesshomaru can heal these?" She whispered to Sango as she dunked the cloth into the water, watching as it turned a pink hue.
Sango looked grimly back at her. "Let's hope so, but I have seen Inuyasha with some pretty fatal injuries, and Kagome has more demon blood in her than he does. She will get through this like Inuyasha said. I have faith in her strength."
Soon after they had finished, gathering the dirty cloth and bowl, along with Sesshomaru's ruined hankimono. Hermione took in Kagome's still and pale form once more. The only indication that she was alive at all was the slow rise and fall of her chest, hard to see behind the ragged gashes. It was warm in the room, so Sango had dressed her in a pair of cloth shorts and a tank top with spaghetti straps, knowing from seeing Kagome wear one of the camisoles before that it should be easy enough for Sesshomaru to maneuver around in order to heal her. "Do you think we should have put more clothes on her? She will be in here alone with Sesshomaru after all?"
Sango shook her head, holding back a laugh. "I don't know why he is here and what his goals are, but if there is anything I do know about Sesshomaru is that he has no interest in any of us. Still, he does seem to be a little bit out of character lately…" She crossed over to the bed and tucked the blanket up to Kagome's midsection. "There."
"Why wouldn't he care about any of you? He is Inuyasha's brother after all."
"Yes, well that is a long story. I can explain it later, but I think we should let Sesshomaru know she is ready beforehand. The faster he attempts to heal her wounds the better."
Hermione agreed silently, and they stepped out of the room. Everyone was settled somewhere in the common area, and all heads turned to the girls. Sesshomaru himself was just outside the door and turned towards it as they exited. Without glancing at anyone he spoke, "I shall let you know when she is healed." And he walked into Kagome's room and shut the door.
Hermione was the one to break the silence first. "I'll get these sent to the laundry, and also see about repairing Sesshomaru's shirt."
Inuyasha had plopped himself right beside Kagome's door, crossing both his arms and legs as the Tessaiga rested between them. "Why did she have his clothing on anyways?"
"He used it to cover her up when we found her since her own clothes were destroyed," Sango answered him as she settled on the couch next to Miroku.
"Question is why he cared enough to stop and do that." Said monk spoke.
Shippo, who was sleepily lying on the couch with Kirara between the demon slayer and monk, also added his input, "The real question is why Sesshomaru was there when Naraku kidnapped Kagome."
"That is a good question Shippo." Miroku praised the kit.
Inuyasha had begun fidgeting at this point. "That's it! I'm not letting him stay alone with her! There are way too many unanswered questions about his appearance and it is too damn suspicious!" Inuyasha went to stand but Tamaki placed his foot on Inuyasha's head and knocked him back down.
"No Inuyasha. If you wish her to become well again you will Sesshomaru alone. I will be able to know if he harms her, and I know that isn't his intentions."
"Then what are his intentions, old man?"
"Is it not obvious? And I may be many years your elder Inuyasha, but I do not care for the title as 'old'. Please refrain from calling me such again."
Shippo snickered until Inuyasha threatened to "pound his head in". However, everyone else was silently contemplating the other comment, or question, that Tamaki had asked.
Harry had a sudden, unfortunate thought. "Does he also have a claim on Kagome?"
It was Inuyasha's turn to laugh. "Yeah right! Sesshomaru wanting to mate Ka-" He stopped at the looked on everyone else's faces" shock, realization, grimness. "You can't all seriously think that he would…"
"It is not as far-fetched as you think if you would look at the signs." Miroku, ever the wise one spoke, as he stroked his chin in thought.
"What signs?" Inuyasha began to feel his anger boil back to the surface as he thought about his brother's intentions for Kagome.
Shippo was more awake than previously, and ever the observant child. "Well, there is the fact that he followed us after she was kidnapped instead of going his separate way. He also seemed extremely anxious when Tamaki found her through their connection, and when we found her in the hut he took the time to cover her with his own shirt. Something Inuyasha didn't even consider doing. Now he agreed to heal her with hardly any argument."
Sounds of agreement rang throughout the room and Inuyasha began to shake with rage. "You expect me to just leave him alone in there with her if he really feels that way?!" He snarled at Tamaki, who was blocking Inuyasha from barreling into the bedroom.
"Your brother will not take advantage of her when she is weak. He hasn't even admitted to himself what he feels for her. Calm yourself Inuyasha. His beast is what guides him towards her because I'm positive if it was up to Sesshomaru he would otherwise ignore his instincts. Besides, it is Kagome's decision as to who she mates, not yours. Try to remember that. And when she does make her decision, you need to respect it." Tamaki said sternly, glaring at the young half-demon.
Sango felt the need to speak up for her friend as well, "He is right Inuyasha. It will be her choice, and I doubt she would ever choose Sesshomaru."
"Just be patient Inuyasha," Miroku said, "She will heal and then she will wake up."
Inuyasha glared at everyone, re-crossing his arms. "Then I'll kill that bastard for even thinking about Kagome in such a way."
