Chapter 8: Awakened


Pain… is it physical… or a mental fabrication of one’s thoughts? Does ones heart truly ache when the mind feels sadness? The human emotion of sadness and pain mingled together, is that was grief really is? She knew physical pain; she knew mental pain… but this… THIS was something more. Every nerve ending in her body began to tingle pricking her skin with millions of needles. Her body welled with searing her skin from the inside out. Dark edges began to creep in from the corners of her eyes. A scream seemed to echo from the farthest corners of the room. Mentally detached from her physical form Kagome saw herself… The screams were coming from her. Her body began to glow a brilliant white from the center of her chest.

Kagome felt herself thrust back into her body, back into the pain within an instant. No longer an innocent bystander to her own body, she felt her body begin to give way to the light. Vision becoming increasingly blurred she looked up one last time. Golden eyes tinged red met her suffering ocean blue. Even through the torturous physical pain a smile graced her lips as tears began to leak down the curves of her cheeks.

“You came… Sesshomaru…” Kagomes voice was nothing but a whisper as her eyes began to close. At least she got to see him… one… last… time.

Sesshomaru felt every hair on his skin prickle and stand on edge. His eyes were locked on her and as her gaze began to slip his beast was brutally thrashing to break free. As her eyes fully closed a blinding light filled the room bringing him down on one knee to brace himself against the immense power. The light began to fade and slowly died down to a small orb. It pulsed and swirled in a vibrant cerulean blue with a swirl of gold all within a pink tinged light. It was no larger than the original shikon jewel… only this time it was… changed.

Kikyo held the floating crystal within her palms. Her normally dead brown eyes turned almost an onyx black looked straight into Sesshomarus deadly gaze. A cruel smile curved the corners of her mouth as she raised the jewel to herself.

“With this… I will become whole again… I will possess the ultimate power to rule all that was taken from me!” Kikyos voice thundered throughout the room.

The jewel began to glow a vibrant blue and after a moment began to pulse sending out waves of purple in its wake. Something began to separate from the original jewel creating a separate purple jewel altogether. Her soul and his power the very sources that forged the jewel were being torn apart.

Kikyos eyes whipped behind her as she knelt down on one knee. She held the purple jewel close to her as she extended her hand out; the blue jewel resting within her palm.

“I have done as you have commanded… Master…” Her voice was loyal and triumphant.

Her head was bowed eyes lowered as she watched as a barefoot came into sight. Eyes blue as the sky appeared in the darkness as a hand seemed to materialize out of the darkness to take the orb out of Kikyos hand.

“I have given you the power you seek and in return I keep the portion of the soul that belongs to me.” Kikyo began to look up only to hear a dark throaty chuckle resonate from the being in front of her.

“You have done just as I have asked…” The dark voice paused.

Kikyo instantly felt his hand touch the side of her face sliding into the thick tresses of her raven hair.

“Yet you are a foolish woman…” His hand viciously grabbed at the back of her head yanking it back forcing her to look up at him.

“Your usefulness to me has expired witch… Did you honestly think I would simply let you walk away?”
Kikyo clenched her teeth her free hand instantly reaching for his trying to release herself from his death grip.

“Why…? We had a deal… We were supposed to…” Kikyo winced as his hold tightened on her lifting her off of the ground.

The figures laughter became louder and his voice harsh and unforgiving.

“What has died cannot truly be brought back… I much more prefer the living version… the soul you separated is not your own. You were merely my pawn, just as you used your precious hanyou; you have fallen into the mouth of a hungry wolves den. It was necessary to tear their souls apart in order to have the power I need and to break the bond that was forged centuries ago.”

Kikyos feet left the ground still staring down at the haunting blue eyes that lacked true facial features. His hand wrapped around her throat. She clutched the jewel in her hand tightly to her chest. Anger and despair filled her eyes as the purple jewel was pried from her fingers. Gasping for air Kikyo struggled in his grasp.

“I vowed that she would belong to me… and with this I will make her mine… Kagome…” Sound thundered all around them.

Sesshomaru who had been utterly shocked by the outcome of the situation had been frozen in place until then. His feet moved faster than his thoughts as he was beside Kagomes limp body in no time. He pulled her into his arms. Her body was still warm and alive… but there was nothing more than her vital signs. His Kagome was not there. That’s when he heard it…; the sickening crack of bones followed by a hollow thud from across the room.

Sesshomaru watched as Kikyos lifeless body fell to the ground and slowly began to disintegrate into the clay from which she had be formed. His eyes lifted to the glittering purple jewel in the figures hand. Instantly their eyes met, Sesshomarus lip began to curl back exposing his demonic fangs. Sesshomarus rage was compounding exponentially. He situated Kagome body into a better position as he fluidly raised standing tall and proud. This being would feel the wrath of Sesshomarus might.

A haughty laugh steadily rose in volume as he stepped out of the dark recesses of the room and into the moonlight. Sesshomarus eyes widened just slightly then narrowed dangerously. Only then a loud crash came from behind him. Inuyasha barged into the room bleeding and out of breath.

Inuyashas eyes scanned the room clutching his bleeding side. Sesshomaru had really done a number on him this time. His heart leapt into his throat as the scene unfolded in front of his eyes. Kagome lay unmoving in the corner of the room with his bastard brother standing protectively in front of her. The stench of death and clay was heavy in the air. Kikyos disintegrating form was discarded at a pair of bare feet. His eyes lingered on her remains for a moment feeling the fury and pain begin to build up inside of him once more. That’s when his lifted his eyes to her attacker. Piercing blue eyes looked straight into his.

“Koga…?” Inuyasha took a step back eyes wide and disbelieving.

“I have finally come to claim what I have always said belongs to me Mutt.” Koga stepped forward raising the swirling blue orb in his hand.

The jewel pulsed and burst with a blinding light as silver as the rays of the moon. The jewel began to sink into his palm merging with his body and soul. Sesshomaru moved like the wind, claws dripping with its noxious green poison, towards Koga for the kill.

Kogas eyes began to glow and a smirk crossed his features. He could already feel the power surge through his body, every fiber of his being stood on edge. New found strength, raw and in its purest form, bound for centuries begging to be set free Koga caught Sesshomarus attack without as much of a thought. Kogas lifted Sesshomaru off the floor effortlessly with one hand.

“Once you are gone… there is nothing to stop me… All of the obstacles will have been cleared and I will have anything I desire.” Koga held the purple jewel in his other hand lifting it just high enough for Sesshomaru to see.

Sesshomarus face was livid eyes darkened to bloody crimson. He dug his poison claws into the wolves forearm only Koga did not release his grip. The poison was not affecting him at all. Sesshomaru felt hand around his throat tighten.

“Perhaps I will let you see her one last time… the sight of you dying as her last memory will break her spirit.” Koga could feel Sesshomaru fighting and nearly breaking his hold on him.

Even with the strongest power in this world Sesshomaru was almost breeching the breaking point.

Inuyasha watched as his once proud brother had been snatched out of the air with impossible ease. Never had he seen him so vulnerable or determined on destroying someone. Inuyasha could feel the power radiating off the demons in front of him, it seemed almost impossible. Blood leaked from beneath his fingers and his world was becoming hazy once more.

Suddenly the room became illuminated in a brilliant pink that burst out of Kogas hand. Inuyasha watched as the light became almost fluid, like a pink stream. It circled and danced around Kagomes unmoving body. Flowing into Kagomes body her soul once more took possession of its rightful owner.

He had been wrong all along… Tricked and deceived once more by the woman he loved. Inuyasha watched as Kagomes eyes began to open as a sudden sickening sound ripped through the room. Koga ripped at the flesh and tendons that was Sesshomarus neck. Sesshomarus blood red eyes instantly faded to gold as he fell to the floor in a pool of his own blood.

Kagome opened her eyes and instantly felt her heart constrict and unexplainable pain scorched every nerve ending in her body. Her head lulled to the side and she saw him… lying there… She felt his pain and suffering. She managed to get onto her hands and knees as she all but crawled over to Sesshomaru.

Barely conscious Sesshomaru clung onto the remains of his life as he saw Kagome coming closer to him. She was alive once more… He summoned what was left of his strength and extended his hand out to her. Tears were streaming down her face as she reached out to him her body collapsing to the floor only a few feet away from him. Kagome slowly extended her fingers to Sesshomaru. The tips of their fingers grazed just barely before she saw the light leave from his eyes with the slightest hint of a smile on his face.

Kagome felt hands instantly reach into her hair pulling her off the ground. She felt so weak… her body wouldn’t move no matter how much she wanted to be released from her captors terrible embrace. She bent her head just slightly as tears flowed down her cheeks falling gracefully to the floor. Koga wrapped his arm around her waist possessively as she went limp in his arms from extreme exhaustion.

Koga smirked as he looked down at the bloody form that had been Sesshomaru and then looked to the other corner of the room seeing Inuyasha beginning to crumble to the floor.

“One last mutt I will have to waste my time on…” Koga turned and disappeared into the thick darkness of the night Kagome in his arms.

Inuyasha coughed and sputtered but refused to allow himself to completely fall to the ground.

“Damned wolf… always underestimating me…” Inuyasha all but dragged himself to his brother.

Inuyasha had sworn that he would one day defeat the bastard himself. Seeing his brother give his life up to try and protect a human woman had infuriated him… and yet perhaps Sesshomaru was more like their father then he would have ever imagined.

An odd pulsing seemed to be coming off the powerful youkai lord. Inuyasha crouched down and before he realized it the sword had come into view.

“Tensaiga…?” The demonic sword pulsed and rattled continuously begging to be wielded.

Inuyasha glared at the sword and then looked at his brother. With Sesshomaru out of the way he was free to try and get Kagome back… and yet he knew that she would never truly want to be with him. After all of the pain and suffering he had put her through… and now this. If Sesshomaru was disposed of so easily by that wolf then what chance did he stand? Was it possible for souls to be destined for one another?

Inuyasha shook his head growling slightly snatching the sword from Sesshomarus waist.

“Damn you Sesshomaru… how the hell did I end up having to save your ass?!” Inuyasha waited for the pulse of the sword to intensify and he focused on Sesshomarus soul.

The sword pulsed faster and harder as all of the scattered pieces of his soul and body began to manifest and with one quick slice through the gates of hell Inuyasha watched as Sesshomarus mortal injury began to heal at lightning speed.

Sesshomarus eyes snapped open taking a sharp intake of breath as life was breathed back into his body. A violent fit of coughs wracked his body as he struggled to sit up right. He combed his clawed fingers through his bangs resting his palm against his forehead. He felt like he had been beaten over the head a thousand times over… when suddenly his memories began to flash behind his eyes and snap him back into the present.

He had been killed… he remembered the feeling of drifting away from his body… he remembered the last breath that escaped his lips… and most of all the pain. He felt the pain of losing her… of not being able to save her in time. It was his own feral rage and unguarded behavior that blurred his mind and had ultimately led to his demise. Yet… how… how was it that he was able to return? Sesshomaru dropped his hand and with a puzzled expression he looked up into the eyes of his unlikely savior.

Inuyasha was leaning on the wall in front of him still wielding Tensaiga. The sword slowly fell from his grasp and clattered nosily against the ground. Sesshomaru began to stand with much needed effort. He felt as though all of his strength had been sapped from his body. Sesshomaru only looked from the abandoned fang on the ground to his half brother.

“Keh… Our battles not over yet… you are mine to kill you bastard…” Inuyasha chuckled sarcastically as he bowed his head shielding his eyes from Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru bent and picked his sword off of the ground sheathing it back into its rightful place at his side.

“Inuyasha…” Sesshomaru began only to be cut off.

“Whadda ya waitin for? She’s in real bad shape now that she thinks you’re dead… Kagome needs you Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha began to turn from Sesshomaru only to feel a clawed hand on his shoulder.

Never had Sesshomaru touched him without the intent to kill and Inuyasha was completely frozen in place.

“I was not finished speaking with you Inuyasha…” His voice was its normal cold and unemotional and yet it lacked the harsh icy edge that normally accompanied it.

“Well spit it out why don’t cha…” Inuyasha turned only slightly still keeping his eyes hidden.

“Come with me…” Sesshomaru only watched as a small smile creep onto Inuyashas features before gently shrugging out of Sesshomarus hold.

“Sorry… but this is something that you need to do… I can’t help… It’s not supposed to happen that way.” Inuyasha lifted his gaze meeting Sesshomarus.

Inuyashas arrogant smirk quickly replaced his earlier remorseful look.

“Keh… you fought this hard against the three of us, now it’s just one left. Don’t tell me that’s too much for the proud Lord of the West to handle.” Inuyasha inclined his head to Sesshomaru before turning and walking out the same way he came in.

Sesshomaru dropped his hand by his side and felt a sudden rush of energy and power coarse back into his body. He watched as Inuyasha left and nodded back to him in respect. He would owe the hanyou more than he knew. Of all people to be thankful for… he never expected Inuyasha to be one of them. Surprisingly he was not upset by this new learned fact.
Turning his attention to what was the most important at the moment; he lifted his nose to the air above him taking in the scent of his mate and that mangy wolf. He would not make the same mistake twice… and he would make sure the wolf paid dearly for what he had done. Without looking back Sesshomaru set off to bring Kagome back to where she belonged.
