Hero

Kagome ran through the trees, her breathing ragged, her knees feeling as if they were going to give way. She turned her head to look behind her and the sight made her scream and pump her legs even harder.

A large purple demon, easily twice her size, possibly more, was chasing her. The creature was a lumbering giant. Its red eyes were glazed over and its tongue hung outside of its mouth, drool dripping down from it and flying in the wind. The beast's deadly clawed hands reached out for her, groping in the fading evening light.

"The shard," it hissed out, "Give me the shard! I must have it!"

The shikon priestess grabbed onto the small bottle hanging around her neck, clutching it tightly. She was determined to never let it go. This is my responsibility. I failed in keeping the jewel safe the first time, I will not fail again. The raven haired girl lowered her head and put on a fresh burst of speed. She hoped against hope that she could escape from this creature.

Kagome kept a wary eye ahead of her while raising her miko senses to the highest point they could go. Maybe he'll sense this and come. Silently praying, she kept running until she spotted a small clearing ahead of her. Her legs began to falter as her breathing sped up even further. "I can't stop. Not now, not ever," she vowed to herself. The clearing was advantageous to her. It would allow her plenty of room to manuver her bow. The thing was, though, it would also be advantageous to her enemy.

The large creature was slowed greatly in the narrow forest. In the small field, though, he would be able to move much faster. The beast obviously knew this because a malicious grin spread across its face.

Kagome was the first to burst through the trees, running to the other side of the clearing before spinning around and coming to a halt. She quickly raised her bow and knocked an arrow, waiting, waiting. She didn't have to wait long.

The demon tore throught the trees, leaving a massive trail of damage in his wake. He stopped a few yards from Kagome.

Impossible! she thought, He chased me for nearly thirty minutes and he's not even winded! A tear began to roll down her cheek. She stood there, weapon ready and raised, her legs and arms quivering like a bowl of jelly. She couldn't see quite straight due to the lack of oxygen and her aim was none too steady.

The beast knew this and took a step towards Kagome, then another, and another.

Kagome closed her eyes. I need a hero, she prayed silently. Suddenly, Kagome realized that it was not just her body that was shaking, it was the ground too. She sighed in relief as two enormous white paws sailed over her head and came to rest with her placed proctectively in between them.

Sesshomaru lowered his massive head and growled a warning to the demon. 'The priestess belongs to me,' he told the beast in a gutteral language that Kagome could not understand.

Apparently, though, the demon was too stupid to realize exactly who he was dealing with. He charged at the two, claws raised, crying out a battle cry. His attack lasted no longer than a few seconds. He was quickly shredded by ivory teeth.

Kagome sighed again, feeling the tension flow from her veins.

Sesshomaru took a step back and lowered his head once more to gently nuzzle the frail human girl.

"I'm sorry," Kagome said. "I didn't mean to get into trouble."

Sessomaru simply gave her a look that said all.

"Ya, ya, I know. If there is nothing else you and Inuyasha agree on it's that I always bring trouble. I get it." She wrapped her arms around his face. "I love you. Thank you."

Returning to his "human" form. The Great Lord of the West picked up his little miko bridle style, gently cradling her in his arms as he kissed her rosy lips. "I love you too," he said quietly before taking off and heading back to his castle.

Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head against his chest. "My white knight," she mumbled before falling asleep in the arms of her hero.
