Chapter 4
The next morning Kagome awoke in bed, enjoying the warmth and softness. She cracked open one of her eyes only to be met with the blinding light of the morning sun. She closed her eyes and turned over intending to go back to sleep. But she had a nagging feeling in her stomach that something was a little off about this morning. She opened her eyes again to take a look around her to try and see if something was misplaced.
She didn't have to look far however because once she opened her eyes again she was met with the sight of a royal blue bed spread. This sight was enough to have her jump out of the bed quickly realizing that it was not her bed she had been enjoying so. As she looked around the room taking in her surrounds she began to panic.
"Where the hell am I! What happened!" she thought to herself as she began to pace back and forth across the unfamiliar room. As she tried to call herself she began to recall the night's previous events, searching her mind for any clue that could tell her where she was. But it was all for naught, because the last thing she remembered was falling asleep in the forest.
As she was about to slip into a full blown panic attack she heard a chuckle coming from the other side of the room. She squeaked in fear and jumped back into the bed burying herself under the blankets.
"Miko do you really believe that those blankets would protect you should you have been in actual danger?"
Kagome stilled beneath the covers caught between the feelings of fear and shock. That voice, she knew that voice anywhere. But it sounded different, softer perhaps. As the silence in the room began to grow her curiosity bubbled up and she couldn't stave it off. Mustering up her courage she slow began to pull her head from underneath the covers. Once her vision was no longer obscured she looked over to her left locking eyes with someone she had never expected to see again. His name was on her lips and when she finally let it slip it came out in barely a whisper.
"Sesshomaru"
