He couldn't have heard her right, surely his hearing wasn't getting bad at his still young age. Sesshoumaru had enjoyed the time spent with Kagome, slowly he had started to uncover the girl behind the pain. She was smart for her age, pretty, witty, and kind. He had never met a human more kind and caring than she. They had been meeting every day for him to tutor her, and nothing had happened. Then why did she come to class with new bruises, and a slight limp? Then she had practically ignored him, something that she hadn't done since he had started talking to her. He had caught up to her after class and asked what had happened, and the answer he got wasn't what he had wanted to hear.
"What do you mean you can't talk to me anymore?" he asked.
"You heard me Sessh, I shouldn't have let it get this far." She whispered while twisting her hands. A nervous habit of hers, just like chewing on her lip, which she was also doing.
"What happened? What did he do?" Sesshoumaru already knew, he could still smell it. It must have been severe for the smell to linger even after she bathed.
"It doesn't matter! Just know that it wasn't anything you did." Then she ran. Sesshoumaru was left standing in the hall, slowly becoming furious. Not at her, never at her, but at the scum that called himself her sire. He knew why she had tried to distance herself from him, and over his dead body was he going to allow her to be alone any longer!
He waited outside the school for her, knowing the path she took home. He was determined to show her he wasn't going anywhere, and they would figure something out. If only his dad had listened to him, and it still pissed him off that he had been pushed aside. The old man was a good man, and Sesshoumaru respected him, but there were some things that they just didn't agree on. His father believed that this kind of situation had to just work itself out, how was beyond him! What was it going to take, for the girl to die? So it looked like he was on his own in protecting her, and it was a feat he gladly took. He still didn't know why he was drawn to her, but he wasn't going to go against his instincts. He knew better than that. Now he just waited, she would be coming out of her last class soon. Then they were going to have a talk, she wasn't going to get rid of him that easily!
Thank you so much for the reviews, I love reading them. Hope to see more! :)
