the bone eaters well

[sithhunter]

While ben was knocked out his head swam with thoughts as everything happened almost instantly....Ben felt the arrow get pulled out of his shoulder.....he felt bruses and cuts that he had gotten started to dissapear...ben could also hear somone running away...probably the bandit...but then ben felt something new....his pain...seemed to be washed away...there wasent a single bit of pain in his body. He opened his eyes and tried to move...but now he was even more helpless than before....at least before he could talk and mabey sit up...now ben couldent even speak....that's the thing about humans birgantia dident suspect...when she took his pain she also took his strength

[Lord Sesshomaru]

It happened so fast that Sesshomaru didn't even have time to blink. He watched the scene before him, how Brigantia pushed him away, how her face scrunched up in pain, and the bruises began to appear. That damned human...this was all his fault!! If he had just stayed there, and let Sesshomaru do his job of protecting his mate this would have never happened. And now she ended up more wounded then need necessary. She could have come out without a scratch if Sesshomaru would have deflected the arrow. But it was truly this human male that had caused her so much pain. And once again, he couldn't do anything about it. Damn, damn, damn. He was furious, and continued to glare down at the unconcious human, his hands fisted at his sides as he held back his angry growls.

That idiot didn't even know what he had done. Sesshomaru also didn't see the fulll extent of her injuries, but if he had then his anger would increase tenfold and the human wouldn't be living any longer. Why were they still here anyway? Just leave the human there and continue on their way. That's what he wanted to do. But he stayed and waited, his attention finally turning from the human to Brigantia as she cursed. He looked at her with worry, wishing that there was some way to help her. But there wasn't, was there?

[sithhunter]

Ben found his strength and sat up...then almost screaming in pain but bit it back when looked at the half arrow in his shoulder. Though it hurt ben ripped the arrow out and looked at the woman...she was covered in bruses.....had ben done that? Ben reached into his pockets and pulled out a small bottle of arnica oil and handed it to brigantia "Im sorry i--Here." Ben said "This oli will help with bruses and-" Ben was cut off as he saw the demon man again....and he looked like hell exsisted in thoes yellow eyes.

[Birdie]

"This will not help me." she mumured, standing up shakily. "I need a fire." she commented to herslef, leaning agaisnt a tree, determining how much energy it would dake to get to he next one. She glanced at the human. He owuld be fine. She was sure of that now. He was a human. Those things never seemed to die.

She stood, pnating for a moment, her back pressed against the dough bark. Her finger nails dug into the hard substance. She closed her large eyes, trying to calm her heart. Everything was getting all fuzzy. She was feeling dizzy. Her entire body was shaking, she could barely hide it. She glanced at the next tree. It seemed further away than before. She gulped, then winced.

Stupid human. A tree spirit came down from it's perch amongst the branches. It looked curiously at her face. Brigantia took no notice of it. She was directing her energy into not fainting. It hurt so much. Yet there was nothing she could do. She couldn't move from this spot. She couldn't just throw herself into Sesshomaru. That would make her body worse. It would also wory him.

Why am I always making him worry. I wish I was not so weak. THis body... I hate it so much. she thought, her pnats seeming to suddenly slowl down. Her air intake was reduced. She could barely breath. She brought her hands to her neck, falling foreward. So much pain! She fainted.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Immediately Sesshomaru went into action, catching Brigantia before she hit the ground. A fire? That was what she needed. Then hell, he would get her a damned fire! He turned his attention back to the boy. He seemed to be concerned enough. But even so, Sesshomaru already despised the boy with all his being. That human made Brigantia this way, he just knew it. Gently he repositioned Brigantia in his arm, holding her close to his chest as he scanned her body for all of her injuries. His aura finding every bruise, every scratch, every broken bone.

Dammit it all. He almost blamed himself to. If he hadn't ignored the other human, then the boy wouldn't have had to try and take the arrow for her. But he had thought it was only a passing villager. He had never suspected the human to be so brave as to actually try and shoot one of them. Once Brigantia was taken cared of, that older human was going to pay! Though he didn't know what to do with the other human.

Sesshomaru stood straight, since he had bent forward just a bit to catch Brigantia. She was in a lot of pain. And the only thing he knew what to do was build a fire. She said she needed a fire. His eyes narrowed, and he glared at the human one last time before turning and walking away. He would take Brigantia back to camp, and have Jaken build her a fire. He would just forget the human who knew of him, and knew Kagome. Whatever his business was, it had nothing to do with him.

[sithhunter]

Ben stood up immeditly as the mand started to walk away "Wait!" Ben called out "This is my fault...it was my bow that the man shot...it was my arrow...and my stupidity that caused this...if there's anything i can do..Anything!....please let me help" Despite the pain in his shoulder ben put on the bravest and hardest face he could muster.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Sesshomaru didn't even stop when the boy spoke up. Though he did slow his pace just a bit. Have him help? What could this human do? Probably just as much as Sesshomaru could at this moment. Nothing. He let out a deep breath, staring down at Brigantia's sleeping face. Finally, he stopped, and turned toward the boy. "If you could make a fire very quickly, that would be useful." the demon lord did not wish to have help from a human. Including one such as him. But it didn't matter. He would take what was given to him with no hesitance. Sesshomaru was the type to take advantage of such things. And he would, just like now.

((museless!!!!))

[sithhunter]

"Make a fire...Right!" Ben said quickly when the demon lord responded to him. Ben ran over to his back pack to get his knife but notcied the bandit had run off..leaving his pack behind..Ben ruffled through the bandits pack..surely there would be a sharp sword in there in witch to cut the branches with. Ben's hand pulled bac suddenly as his finger got cut on something sharp....Ben reached in again this time more carefully...ben pulled out a quite large sword wrapped in cloth. Ben took off the cloth and examined the magnificent sword...not only was the sword straght and quite long..but it looked sharp enough to carve an eliphant...and what was really cool was the handle seemed to have wooden feel to it...Ben lifted the sword black bladed in the air. Ben grinned and ran up to a tree and cut three branches clean off...then while still in midair he cut the branch's into small logs....that sword..what ever it was made ben feel...good with a power he had never felt before. Ben grabbed the logs with one arm and put them in a neat pile and yanked some dry grass and stuffed it inbetween the logs. Ben put the sword in the log pile and grabbed a stone and started to scrape the stone against the sword to make sparks to light the fire.


((There i fixed sesshomaru sama))

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Sesshomaru watched the human as he went through the older man's pack and took out a sword. The sword immediately caught the demon lord's interest. It had a powerful aura, he could tell. Even though he found interest in it, he decided against claiming the sword. He had tokijin, and tenseiga. He didn't need another. Even though it was a very powerful sword. He turned his head away, looking around the area as the human went on building the fire.

This was taking too long....

If he just went back to camp, Jaken could make a fire in two seconds. Why did he allow this human to get a chance? Sesshomaru was getting impatient, waiting for the fire to be made. And then what? Would it truly help Brigantia? He hoped so. All he could do was lay her near it, so that the heat of the flames could warm her skin. He remember how she had made a fire and had healed Jaken. But he had been distracted by the fact that she had healed Jaken.

Sesshomaru turned his head, watching this human with an annoyed look on his face, but he didn't say anything.

[sithhunter]

((Lol good to have you back sesshomaru sama!))

Ben scraped the stone on the sword faster untill sparks flew out and hit the dead dry grass. Ben quicky picked the sword out from the logs and set it on the ground, As he leaned down and blew softly on the kindleing ben failed to notice that the grass under the sword had turned shrivled and black. "There we go! There we go!" ben whispered excitedly as the fire cought onto the logs and started to really burn. Ben grabbed somemore grass and threw it on the fire...finally ben had a good sized fire built and blazeing Not bad for someone who's never made a fire in his life. Ben thought to himself.

[Birdie]

Heat fell onto her skin. She moaned softly. Her eyes opened. Orange flames licked around thick logs. She reached out a hand, painful though it was. Finally her fingers rested in the flame. This allowed her to sit up. Slowly her lips opened, a song formed. The words were of her own language. It seemed she did not know the others were around her at that moment.

An unseen wind grew around Brigantia. Her hair was tugged up, flying wildly around her head. Her clothing was also tugged at by the wind that did not truely exist. That is, it did not exist on this plane. If one reached out their hand to touch her, the would find that their hand would go completely through her body. Light gathered around her. The fire was begining to die. After a long moment it died completely, leaving nothing but a pile of ash behind. The longs ad burnt up fairly quickly. Her clothing and hair lay disheveled about her face. She appeared to have just woken up. The song ended and her eyes came back into focus.

Her body was free of bruises, her arm, once broken, now moved freely. "Thank you." she whispered. She slowly crawled to Sesshomaru and curled against him, her arms around his neck. It took a lot of energy to heal one's self. It she had been healing another it would have done very little to her, other than the wounds formed on her own body. "Worry no more." these words were whispered only loud enough for Sesshomaru to hear. She fell asleep against her lover.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Finally, the fire had been made and Sesshomaru placed Brigantia gently on the ground near the fire, he continued to squat by her side. Watching as she awakened and healed herself. The process in which she did this surprised him but it did not show on his face, he just continued to watch as the flame subsided and the wounds were healed. He watched her, as she moved from her spot he had laid her, and came to him, he did not say, or do anything as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked at her the best he could. Mostly, just the top of her head. He heard her, and said nothing, for she was asleep immediately afterwords.

Worry no more?

That would probably never happen. He would always worry though he wished to not to all the time. He wrapped his arm around her sleeping form and stood up. Finally, since Brigantia had awoken, Sesshomaru glanced toward the human that had made the fire. After nodding his head, he turned to leave. It was now time to go back to camp.

((my god I'm still museless!!!))

[sithhunter]

Ben watched as sesshomaru put the woman by the fire....ben was astounded as a sweet song started to play....but just...just barely audiable....it seemed to be carried in the wind....and were thoese heaveanly voices...forming words?....ben listened as the song continued...a sweet solom song that seemed to want to carrie ben's soul away...little did ben know if he had listened any longer...it porbably would have. Ben was snapped back into relality when the song ended....rather suddenly to the song was playing one moment...then fadeing the next. He shook his head and regained his snese's in time to hear the woman say

'thank you'

Ben slightly noded his head and watched as sesshomaru picked up the woman and nodded at him. Ben stood up and looked at the sword in his hand....sure it was a cool sword but ben dident have a sheath...He thought for a second them slid the sword under his belt ((Sesshoamru style)) And slowly walked after sesshomaru.

[Birdie]

"He is following you." As if the great Lord Sesshomaru needed to be told such a thing! But, alas, she spoke those words. Her large eyes were half lidded as she watched the boy follow. One of her antenea twitched.

She had obviously woken up. She had no strength to actually move though. But she could not close her eyes. For once she loathed her phsyical body. She was feeling irritable. Her lack of strength, he inability to protect herself, how weak her body actually was. All these things made her upset. Normally she would just push those things away, but she was put in a foul mood. Why? Because she could not sleep.

The aura from that sword was constantly attacking her own. It either did not likeher or was much to interested. It was emensly annoying. So much so that her true nature had come forth in the tone of voice she had used whilst speaking those useless words to Sesshomaru, She was pretty much glaring at the boy. It was almost as if she were trying to tell him to go away. She needed to sleep. If she did not it was possible she could, one, be seperaed from her physical body causing it to die, or two, be forced into her physical body and thereby transforming into a tiny butterfly. What may happen was not at all something she desired. She would be seperated from the one thing she truely loved.

It was complete hell, those thoughts. She opened her lips to speak again, her tone cold. One might wonder if she hadn't transformed into Epsilon. "Boy, why is it that you follow? Are you a dog? Do you have furthar buisness with Sesshomaru-sama? What is that sword you are carrying." She almost growled at the end of her scentance. It was almost as if the sword had slapped her. Oh, if she had strength what she wouldn't do to the sword.... But then, if she had strength... she could easily ignore it's constant barrage.


((hmmm... dunno whats up with the sword.... Why is it so special anyway... *is a little lost on this subject*))

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Of course he knew that the boy was following. He didn't need Brigantia to state as such, but he didn't say anything toward her with that statement. He hoped that if he just ignored it, it would go away. Maybe if he closed his eyes and counted to five the thing that was the human boy would disapear. So, he continued to walk, holding Brigantia close to his chest. He could sense that she was annoyed. Was it the fact that she wasn't sleeping? Could she not sleep? He looked down at her for a moment, seeing the glare she sent the human's way.

This was new. But he didn't question her. If she wanted to be mad, then she could be mad. It was normal, but didn't seem to be for Brigantia. He continued to walk, even as she spoke. Her words, and her questions rather surprising. He'd rather her not think of the boy as a dog since Sesshomaru was, indeed, a dog, and he did not like to think of how dogs follow so mindlessly. It wasn't true...well, it used to be for him. Brigantia had him on a leash now and he had known this for a while, and was starting to come to the conclusion that it really didn't matter.

((he wanted to make that sword Sounga at first))
