Chapter 1

She had seen them together again and she finally broke. The scene she had seen before her was enough to finally break her soul. Inuyasha had been in Kikyo's embrace, bodies entwined. She couldn't even say anything out loud. Her mind screamed to say something, but her heart remained silent in its broken state. She turned and left slowly getting herself lost in the woods walking down wind from the deceitful hanyou's nose.

She had leaned against a tree and slid down it's trunk. She had placed her hand down beside her and felt something sharp. Picking up the object she noticed it was a thin rock. She had heard of people in her time hurting themselves to relieve pain they felt, but she never thought to do it to herself til now. Placing it to the sensitive flesh on her under arm not too close to her wrist she closed her eyes letting it slide against her flesh. Her head slowly tilted back actually enjoying the feeling of the fresh wound as tiny blood droplets formed. She hadn't cut deep enough and her heart cried out more. Placing it in a new spot a little lower from the first one she bared down harder this time bringing a better result. The blood started to slowly drip from the cut dropping to the ground under it.

Suddenly there was a snap of a twig and she tilted her head down some to see what was approaching her. She wasn't quite shocked to see the tall Daiyoukai walking out from the trees looking at her. He looked her over noticing the blood coming from her arm. He couldn't understand why she was bleeding, there didn't seem to be any demons around. She tilted her head back and closed her eyes. Her voice was soft as she spoke, "Let me guess... you smelled blood and came to see if I was dying.. right?" Her head remained in place, but her eyes opened and glanced at him. He stood frozen by her words, there was no sign of life in them. He remained calm, "I did smell blood, but I was not expecting you."

She tightened her grip on the sharp object she had hidden in her palm. It was too tight of a grip and her hand started to bleed. He went closer to her approaching calmly as he smelled fresh blood. He couldn't help but to wonder where his idiot half-brother was, "Why are you not with the half-breed?" He could tell her aura changed from dispair to that of anger. Her voice sounded bitter this time, "Why not ask him yourself..." He was still calm keeping his patience, "I asked you Miko." Her eyes had looked at him again, "What if I refuse to answer... will you kill me?" He now knew why she would ask such a question and realized she was beyond her breaking point. He silently cursed his moronic hanyou brother for hurting the mortal again. "I will not.." She started to feel light headed from the blood leaving her body.

"No purpose... for me.. now.." He caught her words as her eyes closed and her head slumped forward. The Daiyoukai knew he would curse his own actions later, but he scooped her up into his arms and flew away with her. When he was far enough away from her companions he reached a cave and looked over her wounds. The ones in her arm were slowly healing but he used his saliva to keep the blood from flowing anymore. He opened her palm to find the sharp object that dug its way into her hand. Removing the annoying object he bit back a growl as he brought her palm to his lips using his tongue to clean the wound. Her mumbling caught his ears and he let a growl slip seeing her face in pain and salt fill the air. He possessively held onto her using his mokomoko as her blanket. He would take her to his castle and restore her soul to how it was before. It took all his will not to find Inuyasha and make him pay for breaking her.

For now he would wait and slowly heal the wounded soul of the Miko in his arms.

Author's notes: ok this is a one shot and I realized Kagome was a bit OOC for this. I was once again inspired by some music and felt I needed to get this one wrote down. I was going to have Kagome use a razor that would be in her medical kit, but I thought.. 'why would she have her bag when it would be with the others?' so I used the next best thing I could think of. Yeah, yeah a dirty rock, meh Seshomaru would clean the wound lol ;)
