Blood Stained

Chapter 81: Last Option

The world was nothing but darkness while no more air was allowed into her lungs. All she could see were two red eyes glowing in the dark and she held on to her fear and anger. Her brain was trying to explain the events unfolding but it failed. Despite how the beast had treated her in the past, he hadn't wanted her dead.

Why now?

Her body began to tremble and tears spilled from her tightly shut eyes. He was going to kill her. She could feel her bones wanting to snap and give into the pressure. Despite her gasping and her obvious lack of oxygen along with her panic, he never stopped. She began lifting her arms and tried to reach him, maybe even claw him, but her strength was slowly leaving her body.

The seconds went by and she was heaving but she never went into unconsciousness or died. The pain however, never died down. Her eyes might be closed, but she could feel his red eyes on her probably waiting for her to draw her last breath. It didn't make sense as to why he was doing this but there was one thing she knew; she had to escape his grip.

It was with a lightheaded feeling that Kagome gathered all of her strength and raised her hand to smack it against his face. She bent her fingers in the chance that her nails might pierce his skin. Her fingers were tingling and her hand was shaking while she concentrated her energy without her knowing it. Before she could attempt to gasp for air again, a bright light began to shine from her.

Despite the strength of her power, he did not release his hold on her. A foul smell began to spread, probably from the burning, but it did not matter. She clenched her hand tightly causing her power to increase before the light that was almost white began to glow pink.. The instant the powerful flash of pink exploded from her palm the beast was sent flying against the nearest wall. The wall nearly gave up under the force of the blow, but held on. Nevertheless, several cracks began to spread while he remained laying on the floor unconscious with a puddle of crimson blood forming around his head.

Kagome was twisting her body on the bed with a hand on her throat while she hoped all the coughing she was doing would get some air into her lungs. Her eyes were rolling back and she felt ready to vomit but she tried to keep herself under control. It took a few minutes, but finally she felt like she could breathe again.

She was still inhaling loudly when she realized that he had not tried to attack her again. Fear formed in her heart when she decided to sit up and get a peek at him. Her vision was blurry but she managed to notice the blood. And then she noticed something even worse; he was not moving. This time, the tears were raining down her face. She had not- she had not meant to hurt him this much. Her only purpose had been to get him off her before he killed her.

She had done more than harm the beast: she had harmed Sesshomaru.

Once her body agreed to obey her once more, she rushed to his side and threw herself on the ground. She grabbed his head with her shaky hands and pulled it on her lap. When she turned his head, the source of the blood became obvious. She had badly burnt the flesh of his face and in some areas she had completely annihilated any layers of skin..

Never before had she felt so out of control; each time she linked her powers to her feelings someone ended up getting hurt.

"Ses-shomaru?" she tried desperately.

It was just a hit right? There had been no way around it. He had almost killed her.

She shook him. "Sesshomaru?"

Right when her heart was ready to drop, she caught a glimpse of him twitching. Her lips broke into a sad smile and she ran her fingers through his bangs. She could see that he was struggling to open his eyes, but he was alive and it was all that mattered. It did not erase the guilt she felt, but at least it was not irreparable.

Wait. She was a Miko right? If she was powerful enough to do this kind of damage, she had to be powerful enough to heal it. Of course the healing ability was just another skill she had never mastered. She had healed Kikyo that one time, but it almost didn't work. She had no idea how to trigger any of her powers. Most of the time it just sparkled on its own.

She gently cupped his cheek with her hand and closed her eyes to focus properly. If a feeling had unleashed her powers, a feeling could help him. She loved Sesshomaru and she – she wouldn't let him suffer. Kagome clenched her teeth while rubbing his cheek and trying to heal him but nothing happened.

Frustration began to build inside of her and she sunk her teeth in her bottom lip. He was still twitching, but he was not awake. Also, the blood had not stopped flowing and she noticed that instead of healing, the wounds seemed to be spreading. She had to do something, but it was obvious she had no way to carry him. Kouga was her only option.

She gently put his head down, away from the blood, and hurried to her feet. She rushed out of the room, not bothering to close the door behind her and she began pounding her fists against Kouga's door. While she waited for what seemed like an eternity, she realized something was strange. Why hadn't Kouga sensed anything?

Finally, the door opened revealing Kouga. He had a smile on his face until his eyes landed on her blood stained hands. He arched an eyebrow before casting a panicked glance in the hall.

"Why-"

"I hurt Sesshomaru," Kagome replied before he could even ask his question.

Kouga's eyes shifted from her eyes and hands back and forth. "Hurt?"

She groaned in frustration. "He- the beast tried to strangle me, I wasn't – I didn't mean… He's really hurt." Tears formed in her eyes again and she sniffled.

Kagome didn't have a chance to see the frown of concern appear on Kouga's face; he sped to her room before she could. She hurried to follow him and once she was back inside, she saw Kouga kneeling by Sesshomaru's side much like she had been doing earlier. Her footsteps were quiet as she walked towards them. Unknowingly, she was holding her breath, afraid Kouga would give her an answer she did not want.

A few seconds seemed like forever before Kouga raised his head and looked at her. "He'll be okay."

Her bottom lip was quivering. "Are you sure? Why isn't he awake?"

Kouga scoffed. "Well, you did get him pretty good." When he noticed her hurt expression, he felt guilty. "Kagome, you had to. It's not your fault. He'll be fine."

Kagome pinched her lips together while she nodded. It was so easy for him to take the blame away from her, but she couldn't. She did realize it had been necessary, but it didn't make her actions any less dangerous.

"He's a youkai, he'll heal."

Of course, Kouga wouldn't mention that if Sesshomaru wasn't as strong as he was, he probably wouldn't have survived the attack. Heck, considering how most of the flesh of his face had melted, Kouga was wondering if he himself would have made it out alive. Kagome must have really feared for her life to inflict this kind of damage.

Now the problem was that Kagome would feel guilty. "You should get him in some water and clean off the wounds. I'm sure it would speed up his healing process." Not really, but he knew if Kagome did something it would help her feel better.

"Could you help me can him in the bath?" Sesshomaru was too heavy for her to carry.

Kouga gave her a nod before taking hold of Sesshomaru, being mindful of his facial injuries, and began taking him in the bathroom with Kagome following right behind. He put Sesshomaru down in the bath and turned on the water. As he backed away he noticed Kagome taking off her pants leaving her in her underwear and a t-shirt.

He cast a weird glance in her direction, but she offered him a small shrug. "He can't stay up in the bath by himself."

She carefully joined Sesshomaru in the bath and laid against the wall with his head resting on her chest. She stretched out her hand and Kouga handed her a towel. "Thank you," Kagome whispered before dunking it in the water.

Kagome began gently washing the blood off with the towel and making sure she wasn't hurting him. He was still twitching in her hold and she took it as a good sign. Her arms were wrapped around his waist as she tried to secure him. If he slipped away she wasn't sure she had the strength to bring him back in a sitting position.

Feeling slightly awkward in this situation, Kouga decided to quietly exit the bathroom; he could wait in the bedroom.

He had many questions for Kagome, but it would have to wait. The beast was insane; there was no denying that, but to kill her? Why would he ever want that, especially now that Kagome and Sesshomaru were finally being mates? Sesshomaru and his beast should be merging back together not splitting again. What had brought this attack forward, what had they been doing?

In the bathroom, Kagome was holding tears back while she was forced to look at the damage she had done to Sesshomaru. She was keeping him close despite the fact that once he came back to himself, he could still be the beast. This time Kouga was near if something happened and she refused to leave him alone to heal when she was responsible for his injuries.

The water had already begun to take on a red tint but it brought relief; the more blood in the water, the less on him. It took a few minutes, but his face was finally cleared from the crimson liquid. She softly brushed his bangs back and pressed a kiss on top of his forehead. She could feel the heat coming from his flesh through her lips.

She stared down at his half melted off markings and saddened. She raised a hand to brush her thumb over it when suddenly she felt something wrap around her wrist. To add to her shock, Sesshomaru's eyes flashed open. The amber orbs peeking up at her should have reassured her, but they didn't. All she saw clouding them was fear and confusion.

And then, everything happened too fast.

Before Kagome could even blink Sesshomaru had shifted their position and she found herself on the lower end while he held both of her hands away from him. Her heart was racing while she was now the one who was puzzled. He was himself, why was he treating her like the enemy?

"KOUGA!" she screamed without thinking.

The other male rushed in a beat only to growl at the scene he found. However before he launched himself at Sesshomaru, he did not fail to notice the golden eyes shining. "Sesshomaru," he said with a cold tone, "what are you doing?"

"She is under the jewel's influence again."

Sesshomaru was as displeased by this situation as Kagome; he didn't enjoy doing this. He loved her and he wasn't trying to hurt her but he wouldn't let her almost kill him again. When he had been shoved against the wall, he had felt his life slipping away from him. The power that had come from her had been unimaginable; it was as though someone had set him on fire.

Kouga arched an eyebrow. "Aren't you the one who tried to strangle her?"

"What?"

He blinked. "You didn't?"

"Why would I strangle her?"

"Not you. The beast."

"The beast?"

"Kagome are you sure?"

Tears were beginning to cascade down her face as she tried to pull herself away from Sesshomaru. "You think I would attack him like this for no reason? The beast was strangling me."

Sesshomaru glanced at her with a worried look in his eyes. "Kagome, the beast never took control of me."

"Then you strangled me?"

"No. You began to shake and throw yourself around on the bed while panicking and screaming. I came over to try and calm you down but you would not listen. That is when you used your powers against me."

After speaking such a long sentence, he took a deep breath; he was still weak.

Kagome shook her head rapidly. "No, it attacked me. I couldn't breathe – I."

"Are you certain it was real?"

Well, he had strangled her for a long time without her losing consciousness or dying but it didn't mean anything. Maybe he hadn't been squeezing hard enough? There was no way she had hallucinated something so real… so deadly. She didn't care how much the jewel could influence her, this was not – no. It had been real.

Because if it wasn't then she was losing it.

He was in pain and his whole body was screaming at him to drop face first in the relieving water but he held on to Kagome. He had known from the start that something was wrong when she had attacked him, but this… He had been tricked by false realities himself but he did not want the same for her. If the jewel kept messing with her sanity…

"Look at the marks on my neck, you left marks."

Both men looked at her neck, and for the first time since this began, Kouga felt foolish. He had been so concerned when she had spoken of what happened that he hadn't even glanced at her neck. Why would she have lied or made it up? Nevertheless, now that he was finally looking at her throat, he saw nothing. Not even a bruise or redness.

It was fine.

"Kagome, there is nothing wrong with your neck," Kouga finally spoke when he saw Sesshomaru wasn't going to.

She tried to peek down at her own neck but she couldn't. Though, why would Kouga tell her lies? Considering the strength he had used to strangle her, he would have left marks for sure. Were they… right? Was this all in her head? She became limp in Sesshomaru's hold and her knees hit the bottom of the bath. It was enough to hurt but she didn't react.

"W-why?" she questioned with a shaky voice.

"The same reason why it always happens," Kouga began with a sigh. "It wants your darkness."

A darkness that she had been getting rid of little by little lately. There wasn't enough to compensate for Kiyoshi's light anymore. The jewel had been known to consume minds and drive certain people to madness but Kouga never thought it could happen to Kagome. Then again, there were many fears and traumas in her past that could be brought forward.

Sesshomaru freed Kagome's hands and kneeled down by her side. He wasn't angry at her, he was simply afraid for her. She had clearly become a danger for those around her, but what if she became one to herself? He could handle it – barely apparently – but if she turned against herself...

"Kags, I know you're against this, but we're either gonna have to take it out of Kiyoshi or wish on it... or I don't know. We can't let you go down that path."

Sesshomaru didn't want to agree with Kouga, but he was right. Unless they found a way to fix this it could become extremely dangerous. Sesshomaru gently cupped her cheek with his hand to make her look at him. He didn't say a word – he didn't have to. He always agreed with her and he still did, but they had to do something.

"I don't want to cut it out of him," she said with a firm tone.

"But I don't think anyone can wish on it," added Kouga. "I mean, at this point any wish would be selfish."

Every wish would be to save Kagome. It's the only reason why they want to make a wish again. It basically meant all they could do was take it out, but Kagome was clearly against that option.

"We could attempt to seal it."

Kagome tilted her head at Sesshomaru's suggestion. "Seal it?"

"The jewel is simply a power like anything else. You are a powerful Miko; you should be able to seal it with the right tools."

"If you could find something powerful enough to seal the Sacred Jewel, then it'll be powerful enough to seal your son's powers."

Kouga knew Sesshomaru had probably considered this option already and he was obviously fine with it, but Kagome? His eyes were focused on her, waiting for her to reply or share her opinion.

"Will it hurt him?"

She refused to leave any scars on him or cause him injury. She already knew it was terrible to have your powers sealed away but it was better than this. It was selfish; it was for her sake but then again… Kiyoshi wouldn't be an innocent baby forever. No matter how good he would be eventually he would experienced some sort of darkness.

When he did, the jewel would no longer want her. It would focus on his darkness and destroy him.

If they took the jewel out, would it solve everything? The jewel was affecting her even before she made the wish, before Kiyoshi was born. They could take it out and try to seal it. But it still involved hurting her son and really would they find it? It wasn't as if it was just there resting on the surface. In her case it had been pretty deep and Kiyoshi well… they didn't know.

No, cutting it out truly would never be an option.

"It won't hurt him."

He probably didn't even know what it was like to have powers, so to not have them… he wouldn't know the difference. He was already conflicted inside since he was both holy and youkai. Maybe it would help him grow before he settled in into his powers?

"It will not be forever."

Sesshomaru wouldn't do this to his son permanently. In spite of that, it was difficult to focus on a way to get rid of the jewel when they had to worry about Kagome. It was lucky he was the one to receive her attack; many people wouldn't have withstood it. All the wolves and their own son would have perished to her.

"Do you know how to do it?" she asked Sesshomaru.

"I am not certain." He turned his head to look at Kouga. "Do you believe Kai would know?"

"I'll ask."

For the first time since the incident, Kouga left their room completely. Now that Sesshomaru wasn't making her look at him, Kagome made sure her glance was focused on the floor. How could she look at him? Apparently she had gone insane and had almost killed him. He had tried to protect her and she had tried to purify him.

"Kagome, it is not your fault."

"I did this to you so yes it is."

This was not the kind of guilt he wanted her to live with. He wrapped his arms around her and brought her body against his.. "You tried to protect yourself."

"From a hallucination?"

"You did not know that."

Unable to bear it, she forced herself out of his hold and looked at his face. "Did you see yourself? I burnt your face off." In any other situation this would almost have been funny. However, the thought of him dying was anything but hilarious.

"I'm alive."

"And in pain."

"I am not."

"You're lying."

If it had taken him this long to come back to consciousness, he clearly was hurt and suffering. She didn't want him to keep the truth from her just to lessen her guilt.

"Barely."

"I thought you weren't in pain at all?"

"I will be healed in a few hours. It is nothing to concern yourself with."

"It is." She leaned forward and rested her arms on the edge of the bath. "I did this to you. There is something growing inside of me and the jewel wants it."

"You were feeling better; it's simply trying to bring out your misery once again. If you are better, it has nothing to feed off of."

"I should be stronger by now."

Why was it that every time the situation required it, she felt completely weak? Everyone had always told her she was strong, even more recently. Where was this strength they kept referring to? She never experienced it.

"The only reason you have this darkness is because of me."

Kagome was about to reply not you, it, but she didn't. When she decided to take their relationship to the final step, she decided that she accepted all of him. That meant she had to stop doing comparisons like this, she had to stop splitting him in two. She still knew who did what, but she wouldn't voice it.

"The situation was complicated back then." It was one way to describe it. "I'm still the one who's a danger now."

"Soon the beast will be gone and you will not have to concern yourself with this."

Kagome scoffed. "You know what's strange?"

"No."

"Even when I hallucinated that the beast was trying to strangle me, I was thinking instead of fighting. I was telling myself it didn't make any sense. Despite everything it did to me, it wouldn't kill me. I actually genuinely defend it in my mind. I thought everything that happened he did it out of what it claimed was love. Killing me couldn't be done out of love. I mean he was ready to leave me alone. It didn't make any sense."

Pushing his own feelings aside for his beast, he was glad she had those thoughts. It meant Kagome was healing herself and they were healing as well. The more she believed in them, the less she feared, the brighter their future would be. Also, when she was at peace with his beast, he could allow himself to be too. Wasn't that the only way to merge again?

"You are right. He would not kill you."

He was many things. He had done many things. But he wouldn't take Kagome's life. Despite how he had hurt her, she meant too much to him to actually hurt her. Everything he had done he didn't consider harmful, but that he would.

She had faith in the beast. She almost wanted to laugh at herself; she clearly had changed a lot since the last time she had been in the past.

Kagome didn't feel better and the guilt had not disappeared but she took a deep breath and put on a strong face. Everyone had to live with something that destroyed them, which hurt them. She already had a lot of experience in that domain. One more or one less at this point…

"I'm sorry."

He bent down and kissed her ear. "Kagome, you did nothing wrong."

Sesshomaru knew she didn't believe him, but he meant it. "If it had been real, if for some reason it did try to kill you, this is exactly what I would want you to do."

"You'd want me to kill you?"

"If it saved you, then yes. Without any hesitation, I would want you to purify me if it was the only way out."

He couldn't do this – he couldn't say this. She already knew he was ready to go to extreme lengths for her but to hear him say it after what she did… He was willing to lose his life so she could live, but she was supposed to kill him to live? How selfish was that? To save her own life she had risked his.

Was she not as devoted as he was? Because she knew he spoke the truth. If she killed him he would not even fight her.

"No," she finally said.

"No?"

She shook her head. "If I ever try to kill you, fight me."

He had been living the reality, he had known something was wrong with her and he hadn't used his strength against her. He had remained a defenseless prey. She didn't want that because with her powers out of her control, there was always a chance she could kill him. If this happened again, she wanted him to fight her.

"You can restrain me. If I lose it –"

"You will not. We are sealing the jewel remember?"

"What if we can't? What if it happens before that? What if I don't have enough power?"

"You will."

"But if I don't and I try to hurt you again, I want you to fight back."

He remained silent.

"Promise."

"I promise."

And now, he couldn't go back on his promise.

-B-

Dead silence.

Kouga's room was completely quiet while he leaned against the wall and Kai sat on the bed. Not a word was being spoken and it made the situation quite uncomfortable. He had called her with quite a strange request and now he was not speaking. She was almost wondering if she should be worried.

"Why aren't we going?"

"I just wanna make sure they're out of the bath."

She tilted her head to the left. "How do you know they are in the bath?"

"Long story. I just wanna give them some time." It was obvious that they needed to discuss a few things and Kagome was probably still beating herself up over what happened.

"I don't know if it's gonna work," Kai said while looking at him in the eyes. "I've never heard of anyone trying this on anything as powerful as the jewel."

"Is this the strongest seal you can make?"

She nodded. "At least that I know of."

"Well," he began before rubbing the back of his neck, "Kagome used to be the guardian and she definitely had the powers to protect it. If the jewel could seal her… maybe she could seal it."

Even if she wasn't technically the one who was supposed to watch over it, they were linked. The jewel had removed the seal on her even if it hadn't been destroyed. Her powers were beyond what they could imagine. Every time she used them they seemed to increase. If they had been released maybe there was a reason for it.

If you ignored the fact that the jewel had been consumed by darkness, it still had a hint of light and a hint of hope left within it. Maybe it was that little bit of hope that was behind Kagome's powers. She might be the only one who could stop this as long as she pulled herself together.

Also, she was the only holy being which meant nobody else could do the sealing.

"We have to try."

Kouga had only given her the fast version of what happened, but she could already tell it was bad. Of course, they had all known it would come down to this. Ignoring it and trying to deal with it had never been an option. Obviously though, Kiyoshi was Kagome's son and nobody could tell her what to do about it or force her to do something she was against.

Sometimes, you can only come to a decision through hard times.

Unfortunately it was the last thing Kagome had needed.

Kai had seen peace for her, but now as time went along she was beginning to wonder if that peace hadn't been set in a very far off future.

"Well they moved. Maybe we should go now."

Kouga nodded. He finally peeled himself from the wall and slowly headed in Kagome and Sesshomaru's room with Kai following him. She held in her hands a bag filled with what they needed. She hadn't done a sealing in a long time and she was a bit nervous. They had called her since they relied on her and she did not want to let them down.

Kai knew Kagome was harboring guilt and she had already gone through enough. This had to stop before it became even more out of control.

And Kiyoshi. The poor child did not even know what was happening and he was about to be stripped of his powers. Hopefully it would only need to be temporary. She didn't know how they planned to wish on it, but nobody could at the moment. However, she would trust in them; they had made this decision and they would eventually have a plan right?

Kouga stopped in front of the door and considered knocking for a moment but then decided against it. He never knocked before. He opened the door and walked in only to see Sesshomaru and Kagome were in the kitchen. Kouga was not surprised by Sesshomaru's scarred face, but Kai was a little shocked. As soon as Sesshomaru's visage came in view, she gasped.

The skin on his face was bright red with only some areas beginning to heal. She could barely see his moon and stripes anymore. She could see the future, but she had not seen that coming. Kai quickly put a smile back on her face and joined everyone at the table. She dropped the bag in front of her and set her eyes on Kagome.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"It won't hurt him?" She had already asked Kouga this question, but she wanted to ask someone else just to be safe.

"No, it won't. He might be a little confused at first without his powers, but it'll be fine."

"Confused?"

She shrugged. "He's used them a few times. I mean, he might try again and he won't know why it doesn't work. But he'll be fine."

She nodded. "Then I'm sure."

Kai opened the bag and emptied its content on the table. A scroll, ink and a bag of leaves gathered in the middle of the table. Kai grabbed the ink and the scroll and slid it over to Kagome.

"Write Kiyoshi's name on it."

"Why me?"

"Because you have to do everything for this to work."

Kagome began scribbling with a shaking hand. Once she was done she kept it with her and waited for Kai to give her further instructions. She was trying to take deep breaths to keep herself calm but it wasn't working. She knew this way wasn't going to hurt her son, but it didn't mean she liked it.

"Take these leaves and put them in the scroll and wrap it around them."

Kagome proceeded to follow the instructions. A few leaves cracked during the process but most of them remained inside the scroll. "Anything else?"

"We need Kiyoshi."

And there it was. There was no turning back now. There was no other plan.

She stood up first and headed for the crib without anyone else following her.

"Shouldn't we go with her?" Kouga questioned.

"We will," Kai said knowing Kagome probably needed a second with her son first. "Let's go, slowly."

Sesshomaru was the first to go in the bedroom and the other two followed closely. Kagome was leaning on the wooden crib and glancing down at her son with loving eyes. It wasn't until she heard their footsteps that she turned her head.

"What now?"

"You'll have to channel your powers."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Channel?"

Right. She didn't have much control over her powers. "I'll help you."

Kai was about to grab Kagome's hand when suddenly an idea hit her. Yes, Kai helping her could work, but there was a way the sealing could be more powerful and even work better.

"Actually, Sesshomaru will help you." Before they could ask another question, she answered it. "You're both his parents and the jewel is inside of him. Maybe having both of you would be better."

Sesshomaru nodded and moved so that he could stand beside her.

"Take her hand," Kai instructed.

Sesshomaru grabbed a hold of Kagome's hand and didn't fail to notice how she wasn't looking at him. She probably didn't want to see his face because it would increase her guilt. He would need to fix that. After all he had put her through; she should not be guilty for trying to defend herself from what she believed was an attack.

"Now, just help her channel her energy. You know, give her a little zap."

A little zap? He had to find a way for Kagome to start up her powers?

"Oh Kagome. Put the scroll on Kiyoshi's forehead, but keep holding it."

Kagome did as she was told before strengthening her hold on Sesshomaru's hand. She closed her eyes in the hope that it would help her focus. Kagome controlled her breathing and waited for Sesshomaru to zap her as Kai had so nicely said it.

To be honest, Sesshomaru was a little apprehensive about using his youki to power up Kagome. It wasn't too long ago that she had hurt him and he was a little jumpy about it happening again. He was okay losing his life for a cause, but just to start up her power, he wasn't so keen on the idea.

Nonetheless, nothing was happening meaning he would have to do something.

He concentrated the smallest amount of energy in his hand and quickly hit her palm with it. Kagome immediately jumped from the contact and before she knew it a pink glow enveloped her. It was not much, but it was enough to transfer her energy to the scroll which then passed it along to Kiyoshi.

She could only watch as her pink aura surrounded her son and she couldn't help the nervous feeling that filled her heart. She was well aware that Kai wouldn't have let her do this if something could go wrong but she was a mother and she would always worry about her son.

The light increased even more and suddenly a screech filled the air. Kouga and Kai covered their ears while both Kagome and Sesshomaru had to endure it. The noise was much worse for Sesshomaru since his ears were sensitive but he did his best to put on a façade.

And then, it exploded.

The whole room was filled with the pink aura when it finally snapped. It felt like everything was destroyed but all that happened was that the light died down. Still, the force of the blow was enough to send everyone flying. In a protective instinct, Sesshomaru shielded Kagome with his body.

Once all the light disappeared, everyone sat back up. Kagome was the first to make it to her feet and she rushed to the crib. She was relieved when she found Kiyoshi lying in his crib, completely unharmed.

"Did it work?" asked Kagome.

"Only time will tell," Kai said with hope in her voice.

Now all that was left to do was wait and see if she was going to try and kill Sesshomaru again. She turned her head and glanced at his scarred face. She couldn't hurt him again.

She couldn't hurt anyone again. Not Sesshomaru and certainly not her son.
