Chapter 4

Away

In the morning, you slowly wake (its still dark), and you realize you are lying on Sesshomarus chest (well, armor). You prop yourself up and slowly roll off him. He sighs and his eyes open. He rolls over until he is about two inches from your face.

He whispers, gently,
"hey." His hair glides across his face and his eyes sparkle with a touch of calmness. You stare into his eyes, bewildered by his sense of happiness. You blink and your mind snaps back into reality. You ask softly,
"Why why are you in my bed?" His hand smoothed back his hair and he replies,
"That couch is unfulfillable and you looked comfortable, sleeping, with your eyes and posture relaxed, you looked so calm I just..."
'Beep, beep, beep, beep.' You look over to the alarm clock and it shows the time at 6:15 a.m. You sigh,
"I have to get ready for school..." You climb out of the blankets, over Sesshomaru, and to the television. You hit the 'sleep' button and Sesshomaru moves, so he is staring at you and he cocks his head and he asks,
"What is this school that you speak of?" You look over to him and you scratch your head,
"Well... hmm how do I say this... school is... school is... hmmm... school is a place where humans, like myself go to, well get smarter." Sesshomaru stares blankly at you for a moment and his eyes become larger. He looks at the ceiling and then down to the floor and then at you. Sesshomaru says,
"So you will be gone at this school of yours for awhile right?" You reply, "Yeah (you look up to the ceiling and then you look at him) I guess." He says,
"Fine, I am going to have a look around at this world of yours." You say,
"Okay, just be here when I get back." He glares at you,
"Why?" You answer,
"Well I don't wish for anything to happen to you thats all." He smirks. You look over at the alarm clock and it says 6:25a.m. You say hurrying,
"Well Sesshomaru (you grab your clothes and brush), I really need to get moving so um... see you later." You rush over to him and you give him a bear hug. He looks paralyzed. You hop out the door and you shut it behind you. You go to the restroom and close the door.
Well, after you finish getting dressed, you go into your room. Sesshomaru looks at you with a burning desire in his eyes. You snatch your backpack from your room and you say, sweetly,
"See you later (you break into a whisper), my prince." Sesshomaru just stares at you and you leave your room to the bus stop.
Later, after you came home from school, you go into your room. Sesshomaru is there, standing in the middle of the room. You set your backpack down onto the floor. He stretches his hand out to you and says calmly,
"Come with me."

You lie your hand in his. He smiles as he grips your hand. He drags you out of the room, down the hallway and into the living room. Your mother asks,
"Where are you going?" You answer, as Sesshomaru drags you out the door,
"Where ever the wind takes me, I guess!" your mom yells,
"Hey, get back here!" You cannot hear anything else she said, for you are too far away in the arms of Sesshomaru, flying away into the eternal abyss.
