Hi! I've been a longtime lurker on dokuga, and just now surfaced to ask some help searching for a fic because I can't remember anything but (some of) the storyline... also can't remember if it was canon or AU... I think the first part is Sesshoumaru saves Kagome from being raped by bandits... then something happens and Sesshoumaru gets hit by something which makes him relive his worst memory. Kagome has to go into his mind to help him wake up and sees this memory... turns out Sesshoumaru was kidnapped(? I think? Or maybe a prisoner of war?) and raped by his jailers as a kid, that's why he reacted violently when he saw Kagome about to get raped...

That's all I can remember concretely. Hope someone can help, it's keeping me from sleep driving me crazy with frustration!

Sounds like this...
