"You awake?" I opened my eyes in time to see Inuyasha sit down next to me.
"Ya." I yawned, he had woken me from a drugged nap.
"How are you feeling?" I shrugged.
"Im ok i guess." He smiled- what has gotten into him? He brushed my hair out of my eyes gently. I shivered and unconsiously closed my eyes in bliss. He pulled away too soon. "How was your dinner?" I asked shifting as easily and painlessly as i could.
"It was ok. Koga and Miroku got into a fight over a turkey leg- Koga won." I laughed openly. This was the Inuyasha i knew- i longed for- who was in love with.
"What about Kikyo? How is she?" He looked at me suspisously.
"Fine, why do you ask?" I shrugged agian. All of a sudden Sesshomaru was in the doorway."What do you want?" Inuyasha growled.
"She needs to read to Rin." Sesshomaru said in his emotionless voice. I stared at him he was so much more delecate and graceful that Inuyasha. I had only seen Sesshomaru once before.
"Why should-" I cut Inuyasha off.
"I would love too! Please send her in." As if on cue Rin appeared in the doorway looking tired but resistant. "Inuyasha, Sesshomaru please can i read to her in private?" They both nodded and left. I didn't see them stop and listen around the corner.
"Will Katsumi sing Rin a song?" I looked down, i did't exactly know if i exceled in singing... I nodded and patted the bed. She crawled in next to me resting her head on my chest.
"What shall i sing?" I asked really curious.
"Umm a lullaby." I smiled- sure i knew plenty of those...NOT! I searched my memory banks to any song i could think of, finally i cleared my throat and wrapped my arms around her. My own mother had sang it ot me when i was in desperate need of thoughts of fairies and gentle beings to help me sleep.
"A
little fairy comes at night, She has a little silver wand, And then it dreams of pleasant
things,
Her eyes are blue, her hair is
brown,
With silver spots upon her wings,
And from the moon she
flutters down.
And when a
good child goes to bed,
She waves her hand from right to left,
And
makes a circle round its head.
Of fountains filled with fairy fish,
And trees that
bear delicious fruit,
And bow their branches at a wish. "
I have to admit it wasnt the most adorablest song, actually it was kinda lame but my voice had pushed Rin off the rim to dream land. I smiled down at her feeling motherly. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru came in looking at me strangly. Sesshomaru picked Rin up and carried her out without a word or a glance back at Kagome. Inuyasha walked over to her wide eyed and curious.
"I didn't know you could sing like that!" He exclaimed i turned many different colors.
"You weren't supposed to be listening!" I said hiding my face under my hands.
"Why are you embarrassed? You have a wonderful voice." I smiled at him shyly.
"Thankyou." I whispered. He stroked the side of my face gently before getting up.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight." He hesitated by the door than turned back to me.
"If you need anything just call, Kikyos not here so it won't be a problem." I smiled at him and with that he headed out the door.
------------------------
I kept running never taking time to stop and turn around to see what persued me. I tripped over a tree branch and fell my arms sprawled out in front of me. I felt the nails rip into my back i screamed out loudly.
"INUYASHA!"I pleaded.
"Katsumi wake up!" I opened my eyes drowsily outside it was pouring. Figures i had that nightmare everytime it rained. Inuyasha was hovering above me my face was cold with sweat.
"I was- im so scared." I whimpered pathetically. He stroked my hair soothingly.
"Its ok, everythings alright..." I watched him cautiously. He noticed my expression and drew his hand away.He turned to leave.
"NO! Inuyasha don't leave me- please." i cannot believe i just pleaded for him to stay with me... He turned around and climbed in next to me. I tense then relaxed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and buryed his head in my neck. "Inuyasha..." I whimpered feeling him pull closer to me.
"Shh..." I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. I layed like that until i was sure he was fast asleep.
"Inuyasha, i love you." I whispered i thought i felt his ear twitch but im pretty sure that was my imagination. Then i fell into a dream filled sleep, and for once on a rainy night my dreams were lit up with colorful images of Inuyasha and I- my past and hopefully my future.
-----------------
I opened my eyes drowsily. I went to lay on my back since my ribs were killing me and found i couldnt, Inuyasha was still holding me. I snuggled closer to him and sighed, when i felt him release me i layed on my back gazing up at his confused face.
"Im sorry, i didn't mean to fall asleep." I blushed and smiled.
"Its ok, i didn't have any more nightmares..." He looked at me quizically.
"Do you have nightmares alot?" I shook my head.
"Only when it rains..." He stroked my hair. I closed my eyes and dozed off. When i woke up Inuyasha was gone. "Hmm he left me agian, i wonder if he'll remember me tomorrow..." I closed my eyes and sat up. I was finally able to sit up! The pain was little and numbly i got out of bed. The silk nightgown i was wearing swayed with my movements as i walked to the door. I opened it quietly and stepped outside to be face to face with the most shocking blue eyes, the blue eyes that had tortured me...
"Hello Katsumi, that is your name right?" I nodded."I miss you in my bed, and wonder if you'll be willing to come back?" Koga asked.
"No i am quite happy with lord Inuyasha." Kogas face distorted in anger.
"You would rather be with that mutt than me?" He yelled in my face.
"Koga, i would rather be with a rabid chipmunk than you." I said in the most calm menacing voices i could. His hand came down so quick i couldn't dodge it, my face stung as i flew backwards and hit a white washed wall. I groaned. Koga loomed over me.
"Do you still not want to be with me?"He challenged. I bit my lip and took a deep breath.
"INUYASHA!" I wailed loudly. Koga flinched away.
"Koga what do you think your doing?" I smiled Inuyasha was standing behind Koga with his arms crossed. Koga straightened and without a word he left. Inuyasha helped me up."Are you alright?" I nodded reluctantly. "I see you can walk again, your ready to have your own room in the maids quarters." I nodded even more reluctantly so he wouldn't let me stay with him?
He grabbed my hand and started leading me down the stairs...
