Eye for an Eye by Sha

Chapter 1

~Chapter 1~

"We need him, Inuyasha." Kagome lowly voiced bandaging his ribs.

Growling, he said nothing.

Sighing and fastening a clip to the bandages, her hands fell to her sides. "I know it won't be easy to get him to agree, but he wants Naraku gone just like we do. If you talk to him and..."

"And what, Kagome!" He yelled, rounding on her. "You expect Sesshoumaru to just turn a blind eye on the fact that he hates me and wants me dead? Fact chance, you damn wench!"

"We can't take much more of this!" Pausing, she motioned to the three figures across the hut deep in slumber. "Sango, Miroku, and Shippo can't take this...and neither can I! We about had died yesterday! Its a damn maricle we're still here today!"Releasing a breath and standing, she lowered her voice. "You either ask him or fight Naraku in your own. We all have our reasons for fighting him, but we need to work as a team. It may have worked in the past...just us six, but we need help. If you can't see past your ego to whats infront of you, then your alone....because we're done risking our lives if your not willing to sacrifice your damn massive ego."

"They said they would give up the fight?"

Kagome nodded.

Lowering his head, he frowned. "We can do this on our own, Kags. All we have to do is..."

"I told you what we said." She voiced, cutting him off. "Its now up to you, on what happens from here on out...goodnight Inuyasha." And with that, she exited the small hut.

Hours later, Kagome found herself on her way back to Endo, when she sensed something. Giving pause, she turned and entered the Forest of Inuyasha.

Slowly making her way through the underbush and climbing over a fallen log, she froze.

Blood. It was everywhere.

Studying the scene and her surroundings, she spotted up turned gravel. There seemed to have been some type of struggle...and if the trail of blood was any sign, someone obviously lost. Feeling something at the edge of her senses pulling her closer, she slowly followed it.

Noting the branches and blood splatters, her blood ran cold. Going deeper within the forest, she gave pause. Just as she came to a group of trees, the sound of a stream sounded.

"...Die..."

Eyes widdening in recognition as the voice graced her ears, she soon took off in a run towards it. Quickly breaking through the trees and tripping over an upturned root, her breath caught.

"Sessh...ou...ma...ru?"

Stabbing Tokajin within the ground and supporting his bloody form, his crimson eyes narrowed on her ridget being.

Looking from the dead and mutilated youkai before him, her gaze locked with his.

"Come to finish this Sesshoumaru miko?" He growled, falling to a knee, and coughing up blood.

Instantly forgeting her fear and and what he was capable of, she moved towards him. Kneeling, she pulled her scarf from around her neck and pressed it to a gash above his heart.

Reaching out, his hand closed around her wrist. "This Sesshoumaru gave no permission to touch his being, miko."

Eyes widdening in fear as his hold on her tightened, she whimpered. "I...I..."

"Why have you come?"

"I sensed...something...and it was you." Pausing, her eyes traced his face. Scratches, slashes, and blood graced is his once god blessed appearence. His once long and beautiful hair that any female would envy, was now filled with mud, rocks, leaves, branches, and caked in blood. Hell, one would think it was originally a dark red tint, instead of its originly silky silverness. Looking into his eyes, she frowned. "You need to rest, Sesshoumaru. Your going to...omff!"

Falling on the ground with the bleeding and unconcious taiyoukai on her, she cursed.

First  that horrible battle with Naraku, then arguing with Inuyasha, and now this...it just wasn't her week.

Sighing, hefted him off her and did what she was good at.

Healing and bandaging his wounds.
