The Soulless Become The Heartless by TigerGirl1989

Chapter 1

Kagome awoke to cold golden eyes looking down upon her; she instantly realized those eyes belonged to Inuyasha older brother Sesshoumaru. Gasping she slid back only to slid into the legs of a 2 headed dragon, she screamed.

Gritting his teeth Sesshoumaru ceased her screaming with a back hand across her face, "You will silence that noise woman!"

Holding her hand across her face she could only nod as the demon lord looked around; she too became curious as to where she was so she too began to look around the area. Turning her head her eyes landed upon the tub in which she laid in, tears began to form as she remembered what happened.

Not really caring about what happened but still curious he asked, "Woman what happened here that has cause you to cry such foolish tears."

Kagome looked over into the cold lords eyes; she wiped her face and began to tell him what happened. "Inuyasha and I were in Edo when we discovered Kikyo's ashes were gone. We left shortly after to retrieve them but the witch kidnapped me, put me in a tub full of herbs and began to try and take my soul. The last thing I remember is hearing Inuyasha call Kikyo’s name and everything else went blank. When I woke up I saw you."

Sesshoumaru found this very interesting, he could sense the girl had amazing spiritual powers and began to wonder if he could use to his advantage. Without a second thought he stood, looked to Kagome and said "You will accompany me and I will find you a trainer that will help you with your spiritual powers."

Horrified Kagome looked at him and replied, "There is no way I am going with you. You tried to kill me not even a week ago."

Sesshoumaru stopped, turned his head and retorted, "Who do you plan on protecting you until you are able to protect yourself? Your half breed companion has abandoned you in favor of his past lover. Do you plan to go to him and seek his protection?"

Kagome was in shock, "He did what?"                                                                

Sesshoumaru turned to the girl and replied, "You half breed companion has left you, did you not notice something was missing within yourself?"

She thought for a moment and nodded; Sesshoumaru looked into her eyes and said "The half breed allowed Kikyo to take her soul completely from you. You were trying to take your soul back when you heard him in trouble but Inuyasha managed to stop you."

Kagome was devastated, but so many questions hadn't been answered she was confused. Looking at the lord she had to ask, "Lord Sesshoumaru, how did he-"

Without hesitating he looked to the side, following his golden gaze she gasped as her eyes found their way to her school uniformed cover in blood with a hole right where her heart was. It was then she noticed she was not naked but clothed in a silk kimono.

She instantly thanked him for the clothes but her eyes went directly back to her uniform then meeting his eyes once more. Anger built into her as she stared at the lord, rising from her seat she looked to him. He knew she wanted to know so while holding the gaze with her eyes, he laid his hand on the tetsusiga.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, what will become of me?"

Without a word he walked away leaving her to decide if she wanted to follow him or not, without even a hesitation she ran to him and walked by his side.

"I am in your service my lord." Kagome stated

"Indeed" he replied.

As they neared camp Kagome stilled and fell to her knees, Sesshoumaru turned back and saw what color was there leave her face.

He called ah-uh and placed her in the saddle but instead of her staying there she fell right off, "Stop this woman, you are trying my patience."

With what little voice she could come up with she softly said, "Whatever is left of my soul will not stay with me, I can't hold it much longer."

Sesshoumaru looked away for a moment then turned around, picked her up and once more placing her on Ah-Uh, but this time making her lay on her stomach across the saddle. He summoned his cloud and began to travel to the west while Kagome faded faster and faster.

After a few hours of traveling Sesshoumaru descending into a black forest, Kagome now sitting up the best she could sense the demonic aura and became afraid.

Without turning to her he stated, "You have no reason to be afraid here."

She nodded her head as they began to walk to a cave; the opening was rugged and looked like a battle was raged here. Claw marks were etched into the side of the cave as well as all over the trees that surrounded the area, Trees looked as though they were ripped out of the ground and others just looked to be broken in half.

"What happened to her Lord Sesshoumaru?"

Her response was nothing more than bitter silence, taking the hint she said no more. As they entered the cave she began to see more claw marks all scratched into the inside walls of the cave, little rays of sunlight that were able to get through the forest outside shined through tiny holes in the ceiling and walls seemingly almost giving the dark cave some hope for light but was quickly faded away the moment they began to walk deeper into the cave.

After just a few moments of walking Sesshoumaru stopped, Kagome once again feeling weak could do nothing but stare into the darkness. Nothing could been seen not even her hand which held onto the horn of the saddle right at her head, as she tried to see anything a glimmer of red light shot up.

The cave lit up in a fury of red then white, closing her eyes to shield them from the light she heard a voice began to speak. She gasped as she looked up and met the red eyes of a dog demon's spirit, "Why do you come here Lord Sesshoumaru, and how is it you are traveling with a mortal! You know they are forbidden from this place!"

Nodding Sesshoumaru began to speak, "Yes I know that mortals are not allowed her, she has no reason here but she is in my debt. I brought her here to claim a soul for her body to be able to fulfill her debt to me so that I may get what is rightfully mine from her."

The dog spirit looked down upon Kagome in its mighty form, and sniffed her before looking back to Sesshoumaru, "What little soul she possess is filled with hate and anguish, why is that I wonder? The dog spirit once more looked down upon Kagome, shifting into a humanoid she gracefully walked to Kagome, placed her hand on her head, and closed her eyes.

After a few seconds she snatched her hand away in disgust, she growled low and deadly startling Kagome. "Sesshoumaru who is the one who wears the cloak of the fire rat and wields your father other fang tetsusiga?"

Sesshoumaru replied back, "That is my father's youngest, Inuyasha."

She demoness could not stop this giggle that escaped her throat, "So the powerful Lord Sesshoumaru not only has a little brother but a half demon brat as well."

Sesshoumaru growled low and warned her, "That half breed is not my brother! You will never refer him as my kin!" She only laughed harder in an attempt to antagonize the great Lord.

"For someone who hates half demon's so bad you seem to be following in your father's footsteps in saving this human woman." she mocked evilly

Sesshoumaru growled but stopped when her heard something fall to the ground, looking over he saw Kagome laying in the dirt face first.

The demoness only laughed harder, "Seems you not only want a human woman but a clumsy one at that."

Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to the demoness who by this time was in a fit of laughter, but his attention was quickly drawn back to Kagome's aura emitting an impressive amount of anger.

The demoness seemed to have noticed this as well; she ceased her laughter and walked over to the stupid child who had fallen off of the dragon. Gently the demoness took her foot and tapped Kagome's side; she felt her anger rise more.

The demoness was intrigued; she wanted to know more about this human. She watched as Kagome dug her nails and fingers into the hard ground below her body in a attempt to get up, as she raised herself Kagome's face stayed looking at the ground. "I hate you Inuyasha."

The demoness smiled, "How much hate do you truly hold in your heart for this half breed you call Inuyasha human?"

Kagome lifted herself off the ground and looked into the red eyes of the demoness in front of her, "I would do anything, to get my revenge. I am not here to fall in love or to be with the all mighty lord Sesshoumaru. I followed him her for a new soul so I could take my revenge on the half breed."

The demoness placed her finger on her chin, then turned around in a swirl of light she was the dog spirit again. "Human, I cannot help but wonder. What will you do once you have sought out your revenge?"

Kagome lowered her head but instantly raised it, "this era holds nothing for me, and I have no one. After my revenge is completed I will kill myself.

The demoness closed her eyes and considered it for a moment, after she opened them she said "very well." then she uttered a few words and Kagome was gripped with an enormous pain, she screamed as the pain enveloped her entire body. As the pain began to fade she heard tiny whispers of the demoness as the caves light began to die, "Human, you know nothing of your destiny but know this. The kamis will decide you fate, not you."

Sesshoumaru once again picked her up and placed her face first on the saddle, he walked out of the cave and they took off back to camp as Kagome was in her deep sleep.
