Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters.
And I have done another story, " Is it just me?". Its kind of sad. Inuyasha's POV about his life and all that happened in his life. Its really a treat when you are in a gloomy mood. Take my word for it.
Read and review it if you want.
Chapter three.
After an uneventful day everyone went to sleep. All except Sesshoumaru. He sat at the mouth of cave and looked at the sleeping form of Kagome.
The girl was really something. The whole day she would talk and play with Rin, she acted like a child. Her innocence stunned him. She was such a pure creature, a creature of pure heart and soul. He knew little about her, but what he had come to know was that she was a girl who wore her heart on her sleeve, that she was loyal, motherly, loving and devoted. He knew that from just a day of observation. The girl was different than other women that he had met. They would just flirt with him endlessly until he cut their life short. He couldn't help but wonder how he had gotten stuck with such a creature. Was this destiny? Fate? He didn't know, but he had to wait and see what future had in store for him. This waiting and the unknown started to get on the nerves of the great Taiyoukai.
" Lady Kagome wake up. Rin is hungry." Rin shook the young woman but she didn't wake. She would cook for her in the morning and night. Rin was hungry and Lord Sesshoumaru didn't know how to cook, Jaken's cooking was awful, she wanted to eat something that her beloved ' Lady Kagome' made, but as she shook her she was disappointed. She nudged her in the ribs to get her to wake.
The Taiyoukai was observing this from a short distance away. Last night the girl's scent had changed. He didn't know what the change meant but he had a feeling that he was about to find out. He couldn't just watch Rin trying to wake the girl, she was hungry and the young miko would feed her. That was the way it was supposed to be. And if the miko didn't wake up he'd have to wake her up instead and he was sure as hell that she would sit him if he tried to wake her rudely. Most recently he had dreaded being sat, it hurt his pride and ego. He couldn't stand for a human to command him. He was a Taiyoukai! The lord of the Western lands for Gods sakes! Feeling a bit exasperated Sesshoumaru stood and walked up to the girl, he roughly shook her and screamed, "WAKE UP WENCH!" This gained him a response as the girl moaned and tried to sit up, but she failed miserably.
She felt so weak, she had no strength, she couldn't even see right. All she could see was a white mass over her. " Who? What?" her voice was barely a whisper but due to his demonic hearing he could hear her loud and clear. " Wake up wench. Rin needs to be fed." He said slowly losing his patience with the human girl. " Sesshoumaru?" She said, tears were falling from her eyes and she was trembling violently. It was then he realized what the change in her scent meant. She was sick! Really sick from the looks of it. He had already many things to look after without her getting sick. Now most probably Rin would want him to nurse and make sure that ' pretty lady' was all right. " Sesshoumaru-sama, why is Lady Kagome crying? Is she not feeling well? You will make her feel better right?" she looked at him with her puppy dog eyes and he couldn't help but agree. " What's wrong Kagome?" he said softly.
" I am cold. Its really cold." She replied losing her consciousness. Why did this have to happen? He grabbed a few blankets that he had with him and put it on her. The day passed with her drifting in and out of consciousness. Even though he would not agree but he was worried for the health of the girl. He had come to respect the human. She was different. She accepted everything like it was. She was Kagome. As night fell and everyone went to sleep, Sesshoumaru stayed awake to keep watch over her. At midnight she started shivering. He moved closer to her, she was wearing three blankets, but yet she was shivering, he knew what he had to do but he was reluctant to do so, but soon he did what his mind and his promise to Rin told him to, he picked the girl up and laid her in his lap. Quickly she clung to him, he felt so warm, so comforting. She snuggled close, and when she was comfortable with her position she slept. He didn't sleep the whole night but just kept looking at the girl sleeping peacefully in his arms. He had watched her all through the night, she looked so beautiful sleeping in his lap, it almost seemed like she belonged here, with him. Shaking his head to get rid of his annoying thoughts, the great dog demon settled down for a long night.
She awoke to find herself staring at two orbs of gold, she looked at where she was sleeping, she 'eeped' and then quickly removed herself off his lap. Somewhat embarrassed she turned to him with questioning eyes, " You were cold last night, and this Sesshoumaru promised Rin that he would take care of you, and so I did what I had to do." The stoic mask firmly in place as he watched the miko figet and then give him a tentative smile " Thank you" ..." How do you feel now?" Sesshoumaru asked his voice icy, but meaning behind the question was undoubtedly his concern for her. She beamed and smiled at him, " Better, much better. All because of you. Thank you." She said.
" Very well then. I shall go and get us something for you to cook and us to eat." He said walking out.
Kagome just smiled at him, even though he was trying his hardest to show that he hated her, she knew that he didn't and that he probably worried about her when she was sick. But whatever. This went unnoticed by the two but the strange; na ve miko was changing the great Lord Sesshoumaru.
What is it that's going on between those two? Is love going to blossom? Or will they just part ways after the deal is done? Read to find out.
