Love Found by QueenofdaTigers

Chapter One

Sesshoumaru barely lifted his head when he smelled his brother’s human wench in the surrounding forest.

“Jaken, stay with Rin.” He ordered before he walked off.

Kagome growled as the Oni demon managed to hit her on the arm, giving her a huge gash. She, in return, lashed out with her right arm and struck him in the chest with her bow. She poured her miko energy into it and purified. Leaving no trace that the demon had ever been there. She turned slightly to her left just in time to dodge another Oni demon. She pulled her hand back to her side as it glowed a bright pink. She brought it forward and a beam of light connected with the Oni. It screamed in agony as it was purified from the inside out. She gasped and choked up blood as the last Oni’s clawed hand went through her belly.

“Die, miko bitch!” It growled out in a gravelly voice. She smirked as her body charged up with energy.

“I don’t think so.” She let loose her energy, it made its way up the demon’s arm in a way that looked light lightning. In less than a second, it was gone. Kagome coughed up more blood as she sank to the ground on her knees. She didn’t have the energy to heal herself and knew she was going to do.

‘All because of some Oni’s’ Her eyes shut and the last thing she saw was a flash of silver.

==============

The first thing she noticed when she came to is the heat of a fire.

‘Where am I?’ She groggily thought as she opened her eyes to a starry sky. A flash of silver passed by her vision and she immediately tensed.

“Inuyasha, if you--”

“Do not confuse me with that whelp.” She couldn’t move, partly from surprise and partly from fear. The last person she thought that would help her was sitting across from her, leaning against a tree.

“Sesshoumaru.” She breathed.

“It’s Sesshoumaru-sama to you wench!” The little toad screeched in her ear. She sent out a shock of her powers and he yelped in surprise.

“Don’t yell at me, you ugly little toad.” She hissed as she narrowed her eyes. His yellow eyes widened even more and he scurried back.

“Jaken, get Rin.”

“Hai, milord.” Jaken hurried away some place to fetch the human girl.

“Why did you help me?” She winced when she talked. Her throat was dry, making her voice hoarse.

“That’s not of importance.” He replied coolly. In truth, he himself didn’t know why he helped his brother’s wench. He just felt as if he should do it.

“Ano… arigatou.” She thanked him quietly.

“Hn.” The bushes rustled as Rin popped up from behind them.

“Kagome-chan, you’re awake!” The little girl yelled as she ran over to Kagome.

“Hi, Rin.”

“Kagome-chan, are you thirsty? Drink some water.” Rin struggled awhile to lift the older girl but it was a waste of energy. She turned towards Sesshoumaru, silently asking for help. She smiled when he got up and sat behind Kagome. With ease, he lifted her up and onto his lap.

“Here you go, Kagome-chan!” Rin chirped as she placed the clay bowl to Kagome’s dry lips. The older girl drank until nothing was left and sighed in satisfaction.

“Arigatou, Rin-chan.”

“No problem.” Rin placed the bowl back on the ground next to her and then moved on to check Kagome’s wounds. That’s when Sesshoumaru laid her back on the ground and walked back to his previous spot.

“The bleeding’s stopped.” The little girl said to herself as she proceeded to change Kagome’s bandages.

“There.”

“Thanks. Now I can take my leave.” Kagome grunted as she stood on two shaky legs. She would have fallen if Sesshoumaru hadn’t caught her.

“You need to rest more, Kagome-chan.” Kagome only nodded, knowing she was too weak to heal herself.

“You shall stay here.” Sesshoumaru ordered as he lowered her back to the ground.

“Whatever.” She yawned and in seconds was sleep again.
