Match Maker 5: Change of Heart 2/2, & a sight for sore eyes

(Disclaimer see Chapter 1 and on with the story!)

Inuyasha had sat there with his cell phone in his hand, looking at the number that had read 'Sesshomaru's' name, he sighed he knew that he had to tell Sesshomaru. Then bringing up another number that read 'Old Man' he licked his lips, he had dialed the number that had read his father's name as the device had rung on the other end after a couple of times, he had heard his father's slightly deeper voice on the other end:

Toga: Hello?

Inuyasha: Old Man it's me, pup, I'm at Dreamer Pool Tama Hospital...

Toga: Pup are you alright?

Inuyasha: No, I'm not, Cassandra was attacked old man and I almost did something that I nearly regretted; and no I didn't hurt her...
it was Kikyo. And I found out that Kikyo had been lying about being preggo by me; and I haven't told Sesshomaru- you were the first one that I called...

Toga: Pup, stay were you are at, your mother and I are on our way right now: and I will call Sesshomaru and we will go from there; okay?

Inuyasha: Okay... bye...

After hanging up, he had sighed and placed his smart phone back on his jean pocket, and placed his head back in his hands the guilt that was growing through him was worse than any type of beating or even punishment that he would ever recieve. After several minutes, which was the longest minutes of his life, he had felt both of his parents' touch on his shoulder. Lifting his head up, to see both of his parents, tears were pouring down his face they both had seen the pain in their son's eyes: they both seen it; pain complete and total pain.

Inuyasha, who had never cried in public, just broke down and buried his head on his mother's chest and cried hard feeling his mother soothing him and whispering softly. Toga was rubbing his back, and Izayoi was stroking his hair, both were looking at each other and Toga had reluctantly stood up and told the two that he was going to get Sesshomaru and Kagome and Naraku. After leaving, Izayoi had managed to get him back in the chair, with her hands still stroking his hair...

Mean while with Sesshomaru, Naraku, and Kagome...

The three were sitting around reading the books that Kagome had checked out, jotting down a series of notes, and Kagome had her laptop out and the three of them were searching possible cures to help Cassandra. They all heard a knock on the couple's dorm room door, Kagome had gotten up and answered the door and with a gasp both males had perked up and looked up to see ''Inu Papa!'' The priestess had cried out happily and hugged him, Toga had missed Kagome a lot after setting her down ''How are you kitten?'' Kagome loved it whenever he called her 'kitten' looking at the two males in the room.

Toga had sighed, he had to tell his eldest son and now, Sesshomaru had looked over at his father confused ''Father what is it?'' Even Naraku was looking concerned, while he was standing by Kagome; the three were watching Toga surprised he was early in his visit they had watched as Inu Papa had gently placed his hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder: with a very deep breath. Sesshomaru was worried, was there something wrong? Was Izayoi okay?

At first, Sesshomaru and Izayoi didn't really see eye to eye about a lot of things; at first but in time he grew like and respect her and thought of her is his real mother even though she was a mortal. True, Sesshomaru and his birth mother did not see eye to eye point in fact they hate each other a lot as the eldest Taisho son had gotten older and less easy to lie to and to manipulate. Izayoi had always treated Sesshomaru like an equal and respected him, Sesshomaru had quickly broken himself from his thoughts and looked at his father who still had his hand on the other male's shoulder. The silver hared soon to be twenty one year old looked at his father still ''Father is Izayoi alright?'' Sesshomaru had asked out of pure concern for the only woman that was ever a 'motherly' figure in his life.

Toga had smiled softly and a bit sadly ''Yes son, Izayoi is alright, it is Cassandra she is in the hospital...'' Seeing the primal look that was surfacing in Sesshomaru's eyes and his face were turning and telling the story. Sesshomaru had became ridged; Naraku had placed a shocked Kagome behind him he knew that Sesshomaru's beast was starting to rule him, but the spider demon and Inu Papa knew that Sesshomaru would fight his inner animal. The three that were in the room knew that Sesshomaru would not be ruled by his inner demon and Inu Papa had a hold of his eldest son's shoulders tighter; Sesshomaru was starting to growl and snarl.

Sesshomaru was shaking with untamed rage and fury, whoever had done this to his Cassandra would pay a very high and painful price, the silver hared younger dog demon male's fangs were starting to grow from his mouth into very sharp points. Sesshomaru's claws were starting to come out, Toga knew that Sesshomaru had claim the girl as his mate whoever not completely; the snarling had become much louder. Sesshomaru was acting like a caged animal, and that was putting things very mildly, in a blink of an eye Naraku had sped to help Toga restrain Sesshomaru seeing as though the red eyed spider demon was about three inches taller than Sesshomaru- and even that was a challenge for the dark hared male.

The blue eyed priestess had watched in total shock, it was so obvious, Sesshomaru was in love with one Cassandra Pendragon and somehow Kagome had a feeling that it was very mutual. Kagome had plucked up her courage and slowly started to walk towards the most important males in her life, slowly placing her hands up in front of her and softly calling out ''Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, Cassandras needs out now; do not fall apart now pull yourself together for your future and for your mate...'' The young priestess was by Naraku, who was actually straining to restrain him, even Toga was starting to buckle a bit. Kagome knew that Sesshomaru was just as deadly as Naraku, if provoked, otherwise the two are very calm cool and collected the gathered parties in the room knew that Sesshomaru's claws were one of the deadliest things that was on his being.

''Son, Kagome is right, Cassandra needs you now more than ever...'' Sesshomaru was starting to calm down, and starting to place his beast back in his subconscious, slowly breathing in and out and trying to center himself. Sesshomaru's calm and sense was starting to kick in thankfully for both Toga and Naraku and Sesshomaru had laxed a bit. Sesshomaru was now thinking more clearer, Kagome was right Cassandra needed him; and Sesshomaru was growling and snarling didn't help his little white hared half priestess half witch. She needed him, relaxing a bit more, and calming down more and breathing more slow and calming his beast and his anger down. Toga and Naraku had slowly released the silver hared dog demon; Kagome had taken a very deep and calming for herself, she knew of Sesshomaru's temper and it wasn't wise at all to make him angry.

Sesshomaru had settled down enough to speak, looking over at both of the males that were holding him back, blinking his eyes back to their trademark golden color ''I want to see Cassandra now!'' Both Naraku and Toga had released him and Kagome had quickly as she possible could; Naraku had offered for himself and Kagome to follow the two silver hared dog demons, Sesshomaru had nodded in understanding after Toga and placed his arm around Sesshomaru and guiding him out of the room. Naraku and Kagome had soon followed, the couple knew that Sesshomaru was torn between being by Cassandra's side or finding the bastards that were responsible for this: but they knew that Sesshomaru would want to be with Cassandra now.

The four had hopped in their respective cars, Naraku and Kagome in his and Toga and Sesshomaru in the elder Taisho's red BMW; they were driving the twenty minutes praying and hoping that Cassandra would be able to tell them and the police who it was that had attacked her. Twenty of the longest minutes later, they had arrived to Dreamer Pool Tama Hospital Sesshomaru was the first to hop out of his father's car and ran as fast as he could he saw Izayoi and she had her arms around a crying and upset Inuyasha. Confusion and rage had lit up deep inside of Sesshomaru's mind, heart, soul and body dashing up to them his younger half brother had looked up expecting to be pounded or even killed.

Inuyasha had puffy red eyes, and his chest was heaving moving up and down with every calming breath that he was taking. Sesshomaru was sensing and smelling any sort of deception on Inuyasha; and he had found nothing and that had made him more angry and more confused. Looking at his elder half brother, he had sighed and stood up from his mother, while keeping eye contact with him ''I understand that if you don't believe what I have to say;
Sesshomaru I would understand that you would want to pound me into next week, and I wouldn't even fight back. What my part was to get in Cassandra's dorm, and get her HP Laptop, Kikyo told me that was all that she needed Kikyo had been lying to me from the start. She had been cheating on me from the start, when I first saw Cassandra- when I first seen her Sesshomaru with my heart and I saw that she had done no wrong to me or even to Kikyo.
Sesshomaru, mother and old man remember when I told you guys that Kikyo was claiming to be with my child: I remember that she wouldn't really allow me to get near her. Until today I had found out the truth, and I threw her sorry punk ass boyfriend he goes by the name of Renkostu...'' Inuyasha had continued explaining while they were walking down the hallway to Cassandra's room.

Kagome had looked up at Inuyasha in complete and total shock, why would Inuyasha now not believe precious Kikyo? Sensing his very hurt and confused aura, she had almost felt so bad for him, but no words couldn't erase what hurt Inuyasha had brought into Kagome's innocent world. The blue eyed priestess was very happy with Naraku, he treated her like a goddess, as the group had gotten to Cassandra's room 134; Sesshomaru was the first to open the door and what he saw his knees had nearly buckled. His beautiful mate was covered his bruises, and slap marks and her thin delicate wrists had bruises in the shape of hand prints; this sight had made Sesshomaru want to vomit as the group had went inside of the room: Izayoi's heart had sunk while her head was shaking side to side while her hand had gone to her chest where her heart was.

Sesshomaru had went to Cassandra's side and held her hand, he smelled knock out medicines on her, the dog demon male suspected that they must've had to place her into a sleeping like state. Kagome and them were plotting Renkostu's and Kikyo's slow and very painful deaths; Sesshomaru had placed Cassandra's hand on to his face and held it there. Sesshomaru was kicking himself; he should've brought Cassandra with him, or even the three should've stayed there, but it wasn't Kagome's and Naraku's faults even Sesshomaru couldn't blame them at all: he was going to place the blame strictly upon himself. But he wasn't entirely to blame, Kikyo and Renkostu were going to die if they were lucky, Kagome was on the verge of tears.

The doctor had came in and looked at the people standing inside the room gathered around the girl's bed; all heads had turned around ''Hello, may I ask who you lot are?'' Kagome had looked over at the doctor ''We are her friends, and the one sitting on her bed is her boyfriend.'' Explained the girl as the the dark hared tall man that had looked about in his mid thirties early forties; with very dark eyes and fare skin- Izayoi had looked over at the man ''Suikostu!'' He had looked at her ''Izzy!'' They had embraced, minus Kagome, Toga, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, Inu Papa noticed the confused look on Naraku's ''Suikostu, and Izayoi are cousins, they grew up together.'' Came Toga's voice as they had parted from the other's arms.

Cassandra was still sleeping, well sort of, Suikostu had checked his chart again and walking over to the hospital bed and looking at the IVs and machines; and going back to the chart and reading it. He had looked at Cassandra again and was taking her pulse and reading the monitors; nodding his head up and down and mummbiling a few words and noises that the demons and the half demon didn't hear quite clearly. Suikostu had looked up from his chart, and glanced over at Inuyasha ''You should be thanked my boy, if you were a few seconds later, then it would've been the worst.'' All had looked at Inuyasha; who had finally raised his head up, the guilt that he was feeling was worse than any kind of torture that anyone could think of. Kagome had looked over at the doctor and back at the prone Cassandra; Inuyasha had sighed and got up and walked over to the bed where Sesshomaru was sitting and Cassandra was laying and prone and out of it.

Sesshomaru had slowly looked up and starting to bare his fangs ''Chill out big brother, don't get your tail in a knot, I'm trying to make it right look I know what Kikyo had slipped me to blind Cassandra.'' They all were looking up at him, as Kagome had looked shocked as Inuyasha had made eye contact with her; Inuyasha had looked back over at Kagome and said ''Kags, there's something that you need to know, when Kikyo made the ingredients to blind Cassandra her priestess spiritual powers had became tainted; that means that your touch and Sesshomaru's kiss can bring her eye sight back.'' Inuyasha had explained while running his hand through his trademark hair; as he had continued ''But Kags there's more a lot more, Kikyo was going to kill you to taint your light, and kill Naraku. I know that I had fucked up, I fucked up major but I want to make it up to all of you: to let you all know how sorry that I am.'' Kagome was listening to Inuyasha's explaining; she had felt sorry for him but her heart lied with Naraku.

''The touch and the kiss had to be administered now, but separately,'' Came Inuyasha's voice, as Kagome had walked over to Cassandra's other bedside while Naraku was by his blue eyed priestess's side; Sesshomaru had looked over at Inuyasha who was getting ready to explain to the two that were involved. Cassandra was making small noises, and muttering something, as if she were trying to wake up, or letting them know that she was okay and listening to them, Sesshomaru had leaned down and got closer to Cassandra's form everyone was watching this scene had playing out before their eyes. No one was talking, no one was even whispering or breathing loud, Kagome had slowly reached up and gently placed both of her hands on to Cassandra's eyes as that had happened a warm soft pink light had seeped from Kagome's hands and in Cassandra's badly infected eyes. Kagome had started to shake and chanted unknown language and her eyes were rolling in the back of her head; as Inuyasha had stepped forward leaning over to see that Kagome was doing what was told to do properly- and to which she was.

As Kagome had her hands still placed over Cassandra's eyes still chanting, then a deeper shade of pink had left Kagome's hands and went right into Cassandra's. Inuyasha had heard whenever Kikyo and this 'Renkostu' were talking and with Cassandra being half priestess, Kagome would be able to heal the tripp pants wearing girl faster. As soon as Kagome was done, it was Sesshomaru's turn, the kiss of true love as soon as Kagome had stepped back with Naraku sliding his arm around her shoulders and guided her to him, the male dog demon had leaned forward, as everyone was watching. Sesshomaru had looked over and the nosy people in the room were thinking the exact thing 'Kiss the girl' the song from the Disney movie 'The Little Mermaid' the silver hared younger male dog demon knew those people would not leave the room; Sesshomaru had turned his attention back to his soon to be mate Cassandra. This wasn't how he pictured their first kiss together, however it was almost like 'Prince Charming' and the beautiful 'Princess under the sleeping curse or a painful curse,' Sesshomaru had gently placed one of his hands on her soft pale oval delicate face.

Sesshomaru's other hand was reaching up to cup her other side of her face and leaned down fully puckering his lips slightly, leaning down and placing a soft sweet and very romantic kiss upon her silken lips; of Cassandra's own movement her arms had wrapped themselves around Sesshomaru's broad and strong shoulders. Cassandra's lips were pressing softly onto Sesshomaru's lips meeting his lips with her's was what she had dreamnt about from the moment that she had laid eyes on him; finally they had parted from each other very very unwillingly. Cassandra had slowly and opened her eyes that were now a beautiful green, from their reddish/ black in color and very infected looking, they were now very clear and normal. As Cassandra had blinked once or twice, after a few moments of adjusting her vision was returning stronger and stronger.

Cassandra had seen the fire and the love that was burning within his eyes, deep down she had felt it, maybe he was burning for her, as she burned for him very deeply and heated she had burned for him. Everyone in the room couldn't believe that the two that consisted of Kagome and Sesshomaru had healed Cassandra's sight! All were clapping and smiling happily, Kagome had almost forgotten the bitter history between herself and Inuyasha thanks to Kikyo; Inuyasha will never have Kagome again. But the half dog demon had seen the way that Kagome had looked at Naraku, and that look had told the story, in Kagome's jeweled sparkling eyes Naraku would be the only male that she would ever look at that way.

As Cassandra laid on the bed being kissed by the dog demon of her dreams, like 'Sleeping Beauty,' they both had felt what was pulsing between both Cassandra and Sesshomaru, he had turned into her keeper for the past few days; he had protected her and cared for her she had now felt it in his actions and now she had felt it in his sweet and passionate kiss that belonged to Sesshomaru. The people that were watching the 'unofficial' couple, the white hared half priestess half witch had slowly reached up once more touching the beautiful male demon's face.

Sesshomaru had blinked his trademark golden/amber stare, he had secretly dreamnt of her touch, well not completely like this but it was better than nothing. The silver hares male savored this moment, every single second, his Cassandra Pendragon... his... she had smiled slightly, it had warmed Sesshomaru's heart... Cassandra was looking around the room, after unwillingly breaking her newly found stare sadly away from Sesshomaru; and taking in the colors that she had missed after all of these days and weeks. Cassandra was taking in the whites, the browns, the reds, and so on and so forth: the girl looked back over to the amazingly beautiful Sesshomaru that had kissed her and smiled again ''What is it?'' The dog demon had asked her out of concern, licking her lips tasting Sesshomaru's soft yet firm lips on her's still, Cassandra grinned widely and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru and pulled him closer said ''You're a beautiful sight for sore eyes...'' And pressed her lips to his again...
