How many times had he seen her, hurt by that worthless half demon Inuyasha? How many times had caught the scent of his brother and that corpse priestess? How many times had he heard her cry? Even now— he watched as water flowed down the smooth surface of her cheeks, and anger filled his heart.
"Why do you stay with him? Why do you bear the pain of wounds he so carelessly cuts into your heart?" The mortal girl looked at him and smiled; a smile so sad the oceans could weep at the sight of it. And when she spoke her voice cracked, alongside his heart.
"I love him." Her words were soft, stained perfection that caressed Sesshomaru's ears. He stepped closer, forgotten words from long ago filling his head. We will endure anything for love, my son; it is the only thing that can blind us.
"But why him? Why not be with someone who will love you in return?" He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and her eyes widened. How many times had he tasted the girl's fresh tears in the air? How many times had he felt her anguish? Sesshomaru pressed his lips softly to Kagome's, trying desperately to steal away her pain as he wrapped his arms around her. She entangled her fingers in his hair. How many times had he thought she deserved better? How many times had he thought perhaps it was time for her to open her blind eyes?
