Always Watching

I do not own Inuyasha, or any of the characters. So, go bother someone who does.

Kagome walked towards the shrine she called her home, tears fell down her porcelain cheeks, `How could he?! How could he choose that undead girl over me? She offered death while I offered life.' Little did Kagome know that someone was following her home, someone with a very gruesome intent.

Meanwhile, in Sengoku Jidai:

Sesshoumaru patrolled his Lands, killing all those that were refusing to answer why they were there. He neared Inuyasha's Forest to see a large crater in the ground, his brother's scent was mixed in with that clay bitch's. His golden eyes narrowed and hardened in disgust, "You foolish half breed bastard. You chose a dead corpse over a life wench. This Sesshoumaru thought you could stoop no lower." The taiyoukai was beyond pissed. His half brother had followed a doll made from clay into hell, while a young woman could have given him more. It was a clear insult to his own honor, "And to think I, Sesshoumaru was beginning to grow a fragment of respect for you, only to have you disgrace Father's blood entirely." The disgusted taiyoukai started to storm off when he heard the sounds of Inuyasha's companions talking.

Miroku was comforting Sango, his own face a mask of hurt and betrayal, "Sango, I never thought that Inuyasha would stoop this low, after all he and Kagome had been through...." The taiji-ya's eyes were bloodshot from her tears, "If Kikyo hadn't dragged him down to hell, I swear I would have killed him myself. I could see her face as her heart was shattered. Kikyo was the worthless clay bitch that nearly died at Naraku's hands, but no! Inuyasha overlooked Kagome's triumph and basically shattered her soul. INUYASHA! I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!" The enraged Taiji-ya yelled at the hole where Inuyasha had made his choice. Miroku placed his arms around the taiji-ya's shoulders, his own grief seemed to be cemented on his face, `Inuyasha, you fucking fool. How could you say such things to Kagome? Then you go off and die with that clay woman.' The two looked up from their mourning to see none other than Sesshoumaru staring at them with a mixture of fury and something else in his eyes.

Sesshoumaru stared the two of them down, "Where is Inuyasha's other wench." Sango was restrained by Miroku for trying to attack the taiyoukai, fury was seen in her eyes, "Don't you call her that! She isn't Inuyasha's! Not after what he did!" Miroku finally held her back, the taiji-ya sobbing into his shoulder, "We... haven't seen Kagome since what Inuyasha did. No one else besides Inuyasha could enter the well." The taiyoukai frowned, the worry and fear in the taiji-ya's scent was about her friend. Sesshoumaru had seen the girl enter the well once by complete fluke. Sango wiped away her tears, "Houshi-sama, I'm worried about Kagome, didn't her family die in that accident two weeks before Inuyasha did this? Kagome shouldn't be by herself, not after..." Sesshoumaru noted her meaning instantly and was surprised to feel the worry himself. Inuyasha's wench had been annoying but, she had good points too. Her loyalty and will were legendary, as well as her skills, "I, Sesshoumaru will find this Kagome and bring her back to this era." Sango and Miroku watched in disbelief as the taiyoukai slipped into the well without a trace.

~long lost words whisper slowly to me

still can't find what keeps me here~

Kagome blinked back more of her tears, `Mama won't be there to help me. WHY?! Why did this have to happen to me?!' She heard the scrape of shoes against the pavement too late. A hand gripped her shoulder and the other over her mouth. A greasy sounding voice blew sour smelling breath into her face, "You and me babe, are going to have some fun today." Kagome began to panic and thrash, the guy knocked her head into the trees, her vision going black as the man's face leered at her, `Sweet dream bitch, I'll be fucking you when you wake up."

~when all this time I've been so hollow inside

I know you're still there~

Sesshoumaru exited out of the well house, his nose wrinkling in distaste. There were so many scents around, quite a few he, Sesshoumaru did not recognize. He started filtering them out, trying to find the scent of sakura and wind among the many others. He found it alright, tinged with a very heavy amount of distress and fear. The sour scent of a ningen with a sickness in the mind was laced closely with the girl's. He scowled, `If there is one thing that this Sesshoumaru despises more than cowardly ningen, it's those that rape young woman as if they have every right!' His youkai speed carried him off towards the scent, not knowing that he didn't know how to get back to where the well was....

~watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down~

Kagome was still in the bliss of unconsciousness, her mind whirling over the past incidents. Jii-chan's fatal heart attack, Mama and Souta's car crash, and finally; Inuyasha's betrayal. She could see it, Inuyasha being dragged to hell by a clay doll that wore a mask that resembled her face.

~fearing you loving you

I won't let you pull me down~

Kagome yelled out at the retreating back of Inuyasha, "I LOVED YOU!! WHY?! IS SHE REALLY THAT MUCH BETTER THAN ME?!" Inuyasha's eyes had been cold, "Hell yes you fucking copy. You could never take HER place, no matter how hard you wanted to. Get back home bitch, or do you wanna die early?" How could he say such things? Kagome wondered in her black blanket of unconsciousness.

~hunting you I can smell you - alive~

Sesshoumaru raced through the streets to a strange looking forest that held stone structures that ningen whelps played on. His sense of smell lead him to one of the thick barked fir trees. Sesshoumaru lightly touched the damp looking bark and drew his hand back, the scent of blood covered his hand, along with a few crimson colored lines of blood from the tree. `She's alive, this Sesshoumaru hopes he can make it before....' He inhaled once again, feeling his heart start to pick up it's pace, as the man's sour stench became more aroused.

~your heart pounding in my head~

Kagome heard her heart pounding from her tangle with the man, she wondered who was carrying her. The stale smell of cheap booze reached her nostrils as she began to wake up, the heartbeat hadn't been her's, it was the sick man that carried her, his face twisted into a look of fierce joy as he slammed her body down on to a bunch of dirty rags.

~watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

saving me raping me~

The man looked at her before grinning like a sadist and tearing off her uniform. Kagome screamed and tried to scramble out of this man's grasp. He grabbed her by her hair and threw her back, dealing a hard blow to her right cheek, "Shut it bitch! No one will hear you scream, except for me." Kagome saw the stars flash before her eyes as her tormentor backhanded her again, the tears starting to run down her face, "No... HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE!! HEL-!" The man back handed her, knocking her head into the ground, her vision danced with black spots as the guy scrambled out of his clothing. She heard his insane cackle, "We are going to have some fun tonight eh bitch of mine?" Kagome tried to move away from this beast. He only held her down and bit hungrily at her breast, leaving throbbing red teeth marks. His lips met hers, bruising them in a rough kiss. Kagome felt her underwear being torn off as he sucked her neck. He looked at her with a gleam in his eyes, `I love this you know, feisty ones are so much fun to hear scream."

Kagome tried to scream as he positioned himself over her opening, his hand coming down and dealing another blow to her face, the black spots returning to her vision. Kagome felt the sharp pain of his entry and her virginal barrier being torn from her. She tried again to scream but couldn't, her attacker's hands wrapped around her throat, choking the voice out of her. The thrusts became harder and faster, her eyes started to close from the shock of being attacked and used like a toy. She felt the rush as the man's seed filled her and started to attempt her yelling. The man was frustrated, "You didn't scream bitch. SCREAM!" He flicked out a small pocket knife, and aimed it at her throat. Kagome's eyes widened as the blade came out, her voice seemed to come back to her, "IIE!!!!"

Sesshoumaru heard the familiar voice of his brother's miko scream out. The scent of her blood reached his nose as he raced to the site. What he saw made him sick, she was nude and weakly trying to black the small blade from inserting its self into her throat. Several slashes were on her arms from where she was covering her neck. The taiyoukai moved quickly over to the man and gripped his neck. Kagome watched with failing vision as her rapist was lifted off of her to face a very pissed off looking youkai in white. Sesshoumaru saw the man scowl and barely felt the sting of the weapon as it swiped his cheek, "You shall die at the hands of this Sesshoumaru for touching what you never should have laid eyes on." Kagome watched as the youkai raised one hand and stabbed it through the man's gut, then gripping the man's neck until it snapped in and throwing the body harshly into the wall. Sesshoumaru wiped his hands free of the ningen's blood and turned to the sight before him. The young miko that had been so filled with life and energy, looked like a living hell. Her blood dripped down her body, the bastard's semen leaked from her opening.

Kagome watched as her savior glared harshly at the dead man's corpse before turning to her. She felt defeated and dirty. Her breathing was becoming shallow as the figure became blurry. Her mouth worked out, "Sessho---ma---ru......" Her eyes closed as she drifted into a sweet unconsciousness. The taiyoukai watched her mouth his name before slipping down into the heap of oily rags, her breathing began to grow fainter and less audible. Sesshoumaru unsheathed Tenseiga and aimed it at her lifeless body. She look so much like a very finely sculpted crystal doll, with her pale skin and dark hair. He slashed down and watched the pail bringers from another world die beneath his sword. The woman's flesh began to heat up, her heartbeat clear in his mind. Her blue-grey eyes opened, still filled with pain and looked at him, "Sesshoumaru, why did you?" The taiyoukai shrugged off his outer haori and walked closer to the traumatized female. Kagome's eyes and scent took on the sight and smell of fear. Sesshoumaru stopped as Kagome pulled her legs up to her chest in fear of what he was going to do.

~Watching me~

Kagome thought only one thing, `Why is he watching me? It's like he's trying not to frighten me or something.' The taiyoukai knelt down to her side, his silver hair falling over his shoulders as he reached over towards her. Her eyes closed tightly as she waited for death to come for her, or worse, the youkai to use her like that man had before her. She nearly died from a heart attack when she felt the texture of a silk cloth being draped around her bare shoulders. His low voice sent warm breaths across her face, "That should be long enough to wear like a sleeping yukata. Cover yourself with it." Kagome attempted to stand up and nearly fell from the pain ripping through her lower stomach and groin. A strong arm held her in place as she shrugged on the silk overcoat. Something tied a sash that was meant to be in place of an obi around her waist, making sure it wouldn't slip or show anything indecent.

She looked up and blinked, trying to see if it really was Sesshoumaru that was next to her. The taiyoukai held the remaints of rage in his usually cold amber gaze and also a new emotion she had never seen before; worry. She could feel the worry rolling off of him as easily as she could tell Sango and Miroku loved each other, `He cares about me..... But how did, when did this happen?' Sessoumaru's eyes replaced the rage with more concern and worry, "Kagome, This Sesshoumaru needs to know, are you all right?" Kagome's eyes filled with tears as her small form began to tremble with the fear and fatigue that were released by her tense body, "No. I..." Sesshoumaru stepped closer to the shaking miko, his hand still holding her up, `Rin shook like this before. When we would see wolves or when she was in deep sorrow.' The taiyoukai remember that the small girl he was in charge of had crept closer to him until she had burst into tears, burying her face in his outer kimono. Kagome had the same fearful and almost despairing look on her face. He frowned and moved a little closer, "Kagome, this Sesshoumaru has taken care of the enemy. You are safe now."

Kagome shook even harder, now she had nothing left, she wanted to end it all now if possible. But, the taiyoukai kept coming closer, his body heat seemed so inviting to her cold body. His voice was low and soothing, mixed in with a deep concern. Her blue-grey eyes spilled over as she threw herself into his chest, sobbing hysterically while clutching his armor with white knuckled fists, "Why?! What did I do to deserve such cruel things?! Was it because I fell in love with a hanyou?" Sesshoumaru felt the impact of her words hit home, `Inuyasha, if you were alive right now, I would kill you, revive you with Tenseiga, only to repeat the process. Look at the damage you have done. This Sesshoumaru hopes your undead bitch is being tortured in front of you.' His arms moved on their own accord, wrapping themselves around the small woman's shaking form and pulling her closer, giving her the comfort and the warmth he had once thought he never had. Her sobs died down eventually as she slipped into a deep exhausted sleep. Sesshoumaru picked her frail body up carefully, holding it close to his own and slightly smiling when her head placed it's self where his heart was, her hands gripping his kimono tightly. He found the well by following his own scent, he looked once at the house that this strong woman lived in and decided she wouldn't be returning until her fear was destroyed, along with her suicidal thoughts, "This miko will need the support of her friends. That taiji-ya is like an older sister and the monk her brother. They will become the family she has lost.' Sesshoumaru looked at the girl again, `Perhaps I have been around Rin for too long, this woman gives me something similar to what Rin does.' With those thoughts, the mighty taiyoukai slid back into the well that would take him and the miko woman into the age where youkai ruled, but where hopeful friends for the girl remained.
