Comfort

"Liar." She breathed out the word, unsure whether she is replying him or talking to herself. She couldn't bear it anyone, the tears fall down her cheeks and she ran out of the library. She did not wish to be weak in front of him. Running to her room, she kneeled down near the futon and cried.

It's not true. It's not true.

She's only fifteen. Though it was common to be a mother of one or two in her age in this era but she was not from this time. She still has not finish her high school, she still wants to work, she still has so much to do. She could not have this whole thing to destroy her future. Lifting her hand to rest on her stomach. This child is not what she wanted. She did not even love the father of this child. She loved Inuyasha. Why did this happen to her? Isn't the last time too hard on her? She had managed to pull through the last time and now…why? She really did not wish to live anymore. She could not take it anymore. Why must she be brought to this world? Why must she be able to sense the shikon shards? Why must she always be the one that lost to kikyo? Why can't I just be any normal girl in her times?

There were many whys in her thought but nobody could answer them.

She lost her desire to live. Slowly, she took out the knife from her obi. Maybe death was the only way out. Without a second thought, she aimed the knife to her heart. Just as she was about to stab herself, something hit her hand and the knife flew out of her hand and landed far away from her, across the room.

"Be calm, miko."

Glaring at the man who spoilt her plan. She yelled at him, "Be CALM! You asked me to be calm? How could I be calm when this happened? I am not like you. The almighty Sesshoumaru. I am what you hate, a human, a worthless wench!"

"Woman." He frowned at her, warning her that no one speak to him like that.

"You think I am scared of you? This is your entire fault! If you have not went to look for Naraku that night, nothing will have happened. All because of you!" Her face flushed with anger as she yelled at him.

He remained silent and slowly approached the girl.

"Stay where you are!"

Since birth, he had never listened to anyone's instruction before. However, he stopped walking upon hearing her words.

"I don't need your comfort. I never need your pity!"

Pity? Did he pity her? A youkai pitying a human. When did he start doing that? He promised to take responsibility because he pity her? Really, sometimes he just can't stand this human, this girl. He could not be himself when he was with her He could not control his emotion when he was with her. Why is that so?

He approached her again.

"Go a—" she was cut off when she felt she was in the arm of him.

"Let go!" She tried to struggle out of his embrace but her human strength can never compare to his demon's ability. After much tries, she gave up and simply rested her head on his chest and cried.

"Calm down, Kagome." This time his voice was softer and he touched her hair smothering her.

"You don..'t un..derstand." she protested in between sobs.

How can he ever understand how fragile a human is? How can he ever understand how she felt? How can he ever know how much she was broken? This arrogant youkai who did not care a bit about human. Yet, deep inside his heart he knew that this girl was hurt and confused many times more than he was.

"I do. Kagome, I do." He said as he hugged her tightly.
