Sessh x Kag- Captive 1- AU

Running throught the forest, my shoulder torn and bleeding, I looked around me. Just pure forest. I could hear the Collecter walking steathily behind me, being me, being the demon he truly is.

"Come on, woman, why are you running?" He called out jokingly, appearing sitting in a tree near me, his silvery-white hair swaying with the breeze, his silvery-white ears perking, his golden eyes illuminated in the pitch-darkness of the new moon.

I glowered at him, my hand on my still bleeding shoulder. He chuckled. There was a flash of light and another stood there. He looked like my chuckling Collecter but had the marks of a full demon. His golden eyes flashed and he caught me as I fell forward.

"I hate this..." I mumbled, trying to get the wrist chains off my sore wrists.

"It won't work," A child's voice piped up. "I've tried with my fox fire." He sighed, his blue-green eyes downcast.

"Quiet, fox!" The dog-eared Collecter snapped, fangs glinting. The fox grinned, taunting, and the dog-eared Collecter rose, walking over to the fox. The scent of blood filled the room when the dog-eared Collecter punched the child-fox, making him cough up blood.

I looked up as the door opened, letting the full demon come in. "Why have you hurt the fox, InuYasha?" He asked quietly, his golden eyes intensely calm. I felt my dirty cheeks heat up.

His hair was silvery-white, his eyes golden and he had the royal indigo crescent moon on his forehead- the mark of the vampire...

"Keh." The dog-eared one called InuYasha stalked out. The one with the mark of the vampire glanced at me then reached down and plucked a feather off the ground.

"...wings?" I paled. It was bad enough to be a Collecter's target but it was another if they found out if you had something they didn't quite know yet. He walked to me, turning me around. "InuYasha didn't mention wings..." He said, mostly to himself.

He grasped one of my tawny, deep gray and crimson mottled wings and pulled it out full size. It barely brushed the other side of the 13 foot dungeon. His golden eyes widened slightly at the tattoo between my shoulder blades.

"An archer angel?" He tapped the tattoo that was a mix between a star and a flower with a sharp nail, making it bleed a little and trail down my back. He walked out as the young fox child stirred, wiping the blood off his mouth.

"You- archer angel, yeah, you, be careful of Sesshoumaru. He's a vampire and the way he left quickly means that you are his blood singer or la tua cantante in Latin."

"His... Blood singer?" The young fox nodded.

"Means he won't stop till you're his or dead." I paled- I didn't feel like dying all too soon. I cut off a startled gasp as the chains on my wrists came loose and I rubbed them.

"Thanks, fox," I got up. "My turn." I notched an arrow and let it fly. It his ankle chains and they crumbled.

"Thanks and it's Shippou." I nodded, slid my arrow and bow holder over my good shoulder, and scooped up Shippou, peeking outside. No one was there, not even a sleeping guard, not even the little pit-pat of a rat.

I felt Shippou's little fox-like feet on my arm as I ran outside, my barefeet hitting wet grass. Stopping, I watched a little girl walk by a green imp with a two-headed staff. A two-headed dragon followed her closely, seeming more of a guardian than the ugly green imp.

"Hey, Rin!" Shippou called, waving her over. "She's a mischief spirit." He said, smiling.

"Hi, Shippou!" She called back, running over. "Who's this?" She said, looking at me.

"Her name is...? What is your name?" He asked.

"Kagome. I'm an archer angel." I said, letting Shippou down.

"I'm a mischief spirit, but Shippou already told you so..." She and Shippou looked like the same age- about 10 years old.

"Hey, Rin! Do you think Jaken will be taller than you and me?" Shippou asked her.

"No! He'll always be short! He doesn't even reach Ah-Un's knee!" The imp -Jaken- turned to her.

"It's Master Jaken! And I'll be taller than you both!"

"Oh, really? When, then, Jaken?" Rin taunted, living up to her mischief spirit name as I walked to the nearby river. I waded in, undressed, and the washed the blood off my back, then examined my shoulder. It was healing but slowly.

I searched through my mottled tawny, deep gray and crimson wings as I washed them. I jumped as the bushes near the river rustled, Sesshoumaru stepping out.

"Why do you run?" Sesshoumaru's voice was quiet even for him. I covered myself with my wings. "It makes me wonder why I should love anything." I got dressed in priestess' robes.

"Shippou told me what I am to you." I dried my hair. "Why am I your blood singer?"

"For that, I do not have the answer to. It puzzles even me." He looked around, his golden eyes suddenly very cold. He strode off into the forest and I walked back to where I'd left Shippou, Rin, the imp and Ah-Un- the two-headed dragon.

Shippou and Rin were asleep on the dragon's saddled back, the imp, Jaken, asleep against Ah-Un's leg. He really didn't even reach Ah-Un's knee!

"An archer angel?" A boy around 11 or 12 in a demon slayer's outfit asked, sitting up in the tree that overlooked the clearing Ah-Un was in.

"Yeah. Got a problem with that?" I said, moving out of the chain end of the sickle the demon slayer had thrown.

"Yes, I do," He said, standing up. "You're a danger to Rin and Shippou there."

"How am I a danger?" I asked, grabbing the chain he threw at me again, then releasing it.

"You're marked- look at your right arm." I looked at my right arm and on my wrist, on the bottom, was a crescent moon like Sesshoumaru's. The demon slayer's chain wrapped around me, tightening, while I struggled to fly backwards. "I"m not going hurt you. You're only hurting yourself."

Before passing out, I felt him loosen the chain. Why had he done that...?

~~~~

I woke up with an aching, bleeding, shoulder. I walked to the door I saw but was stopped by a wrist chain the was bolted to the wall. The only other person in the room wasn't a person, but a twin-tails that was watching me with large red eyes.

The twin-tails was as large as a Saber-tooth with fangs like one and all in all she was big and looked strong. She looked at the door as it opened and she bounded as a monk and a female demon slayer came in.

The monk was dressed in deep purple monk robes and the demon slayer was dressed like the boy demon slayer. The monk had a staff with rings and the demon slayer had a big boomerang made of demon bones.

"Miroku- put the barrier around her and see if it affects her." The female demon slayer said to the monk, unlocking the wrist chain.

"I'm pretty sure my strongest sutra would be enough but, okay, Sango." I yawned from 15 minutes of boredom. "Hmm..." Miroku the monk and Sango the slayer left, leaving the door open. I peeked outside- no one. I ran down the empty field and took off into the air.

"Kagome? Kagome!" Ah-Un pulled up next to me, Shippou, Rin and the imp on his back. "What happened to you?" Shippou questioned.

"Demon slayers- a young boy, a female and a male monk." Landing in the same clearing as before, I sat down.

"Lemee see your shoulder, Kagome," Rin said, pull the priestess' robes away from my bad shoulder. "At least it was cleaned up at the demon slayers place.

"Wait- did you say a young boy?" Shippou asked, Rin and him looking at me.

"Yes, a young boy with a sickle-and-chain."

"That was Kohaku, Sango's younger brother, he lost the memory of his sister and she and monk are working to get it back." Rin said.

"How'd he lose his memory?" I asked, confused.

"He got attacked on a mission and vanished for 5 weeks then appeared again in Lady Kaede's village with bite marks on his neck. He was bloody and passed out for another week. Lady Kaede managed to heal him but he's half-human and half-vampire." Rin said.
