"What?" Leanika turned to Takisugi, her demon friend who was one of Sesshomaru's soldiers.
He was her height with navy blue hair that was cut short to about his shoulders. His eyes were violet and held longing deep within them. All in all she thought he was attractive, but she didn't think of him more than just a very good friend who helped her over the past year. "Please, don't go back."
"I have to. Because of the attack I couldn't grab my things and change." She replied softly.
"But Atsushi might be over there still."
"That gives me even more reason to go back. I have to make sure my mom and brother are okay."
"At least let me or someone to go with you." He begged clutching her shoulders tightly.
"Sesshomaru wouldn't allow that. Heck if he knew I was going back he'd say no anyhow. That's why I'm going to sneak away which would be easier if I went alone." She paused realizing he still wasn't convinced. "I'll be back soon. Promise."
"I'm not letting you go."
"Bu-" She couldn't finish. His lips claimed hers' quickly. Intending on her to not pull away by wrapping his arms around her waist. She was too shocked to anyway. His tenderly passionate kiss proved how much he loved, cherished, and needed her. The thing was she didn't return those feelings. She placed her hands on his muscular chest and pushed him away just enough to break the seal on her lips. "What're you thinking?!" She demanded searching his face.
"I love you, Leanika. Isn't that enough?"
Her eyes went wide. He what?! No! That can't be! I don't love him! And I really don't want to break his heart. She thought to herself wishing this didn't happen. Some how she managed to break out of his grip and made a break for the other side of the garden to the lake wanting everything to go away and disappear. Praying that he'd stop calling her name and rushing after her. She plunged head-first in the lake disappearing from him and ending up at her home.
Sesshomaru Prov
He gazed out over the garden through Leanika's balcony that gave him a good view of the garden three stories below. He searched for her near the lake where she usually wandered when she had nothing better to do, but she wasn't there. He looked south of it closer to the palace and found her talking to one of his demon soldiers. Her back was turned to him while he could easily read expression of concern in Takisugi's face. He narrowed his eyes and let a low growl escape his lips as the scene of the two tore at his heart for some reason as the soldier pulled her fiercely to him and kissed her.
Sesshomaru turned away not being able to see anymore of the situation. If she loved him there was nothing he could do, but kill the filthy demon. But that would distress her terribly. He closed his eyes and slammed his tightly clenched fist against the wall. How dare she do this to him? She, a mere human, was causing him so much frustration over a stupid kiss even though he didn't love her. Right? He didn't. He stared down at his fist that remained against the wall. I don't love her. She's just here to…. to… His hand fell to his side. Why did he want her here? There was no purpose for it. No reason at all. He didn't need her. He never did. But then…. why?
His emotions of love for her tried hard to be noticed, but he wouldn't hear of it. For a long time he stood there battling his thoughts and feelings. To just reveal what he already knew. He had to talk to her.
He turned to the balcony, jumped off, and flew a little ways to the lake and slowly dipped himself into it willing himself to be at her home sometime in the future.
