Chapter 1: Kill ‘Em All

SesshouMaru sat there against a tree, drenched in blood. His eyes closed, his left leg held straight and right was bent upward. His left hand held over the large gash across his stomach while his right lay next to him right next to Toukijin's hilt.

His mind a blank.

Naraku had tried to convince him once again to kill InuYasha, to use him as his pawn. SesshouMaru had denied his offer once again and tore his puppet to shreds. This only infuriated Naraku, he would try to make SesshouMaru his pawn to capture him and kill him after he did his command of killing InuYasha. SesshouMaru suddenly heard Naraku's sinister voice cackling and saying 'this isn't over, this isn't over.' again and again.

Then two-dragon youkai looking monsters came crashing in. SesshouMaru smiled at Naraku's 'pets'. And began tearing them to shreds. He smiled at how fast this was over.

It wasn't.

The two dragons rose again to sprout a second head on each one. SesshouMaru turned annoyed to the pest and tried to tare it once again gaining some gashes on his arms, but it only began to continue to sprout another head after every attack on each body. He pulled own Toukijin and began swinging it wildly at the bodies, cutting the heads of repeating, growling hissing, using his poison nails also. When it finally ended, it was only in vain. But SesshouMaru laughed at his slaying, Naraku's pets and at his gashes and tares of skin, Naraku would not rule him.

After he had wandered into the familiar forest, with familiar scents, but he was in to great a pain to remember or care.

SesshouMaru opened his blood red eyes to the trees and groaned in pain and annoyance.

'Damn...my vision is starting to blur...fucking Naraku ill kill you before I ever die! ...Its not my time Kami not yet not now...'

"ITS NOT MY TIME!!!!" he roared out in to the empty forest. He sighed as he groggily lifted his left hand to his face, his hand covered in blood that was dripping like lovely waterfalls to the ground. He let out a laugh and groaned in pain.

"So is this how I die? Heh heh IS THIS HOW I DIE?!" 'My father died such an honorable death, saving the land and InuYasha's mother from Ryuukotsuei even thou all he did was nail him to that damned cliff to keep him in slumber...and im left here to die by Naraku's pawns...'

Anger surged in him; he would not die like some weak ningen. He would for pass his father; he would not die like this! He would not bleed to death in some forest on the cold grass.

" I WILL NOT DIE THIS IS NOT MY TIME, I AM NOT YOU!"

He roared out again making his breathing turn into pants; his vision was blurrier than before, blood around him in sweet pools.

'I feel so weak and tired but I will heal this, this is nothing but flesh wounds that I will heal from in no time...I will not die like this. All I need is some sleep.'

SesshouMaru was about to close his eyes when he heard a feminine gasp forcing him to send a hissing growl in the direction. He looked to the spot where he heard the voice as his eyes unblurried. He didn't know why his eyes where unblurried but it was not the time, he tried to identify the women with eyes for his nose was bloody and senses where off.

Kagome peered out from behind the large tree gripping her yellow backpack tightly. She had just had the shock of her lifetime.

Her heart was beating so fast and she felt so frightened.

She was on her way home to get more supplies: food, treats, and clean clothes. And to see her mom and everyone. When she found the blood-bathed youkai lying in her regular path.

'Who is that? Is it? What should I do...I wont call InuYasha until im for sure who its is, not yet.'

She came from behind the tree staring wide-eyed at the youkai just a couple feet before her. She was staring at his face, and body trying to identify him.

She could see half of a maroon crescent moon through the trails of blood on his face before he turned his red eyes away from her and slightly closed them.

'SesshouMaru?! No way it can't be. He'd never be the one to be that hurt. Would he?'

"SesshouMaru...?" Kagome called out as she slowly made her way towards him. Step by step her hands reaching towards him.

He opened his eyes to her as she began to walk towards him.

'Shes looks just like an angel....'

His mind began to swirl once again as she came towards him...

'...With the light, like it was the light light of heavenly grace'

He watched her with wide eyes that had cleared of blood and the first thing that flashed into him was he'd like to have her there on the cold bloody grass with the old in and out real savage. To show Kami, by raping one of his tenshi's. But as quick as a shot soon came the sickness.

He nodded to her call of his name and let out the silent whisper "miko..."
