As Kagome watched Sesshomaru shrug his shoulders to her, she felt her world crashing down.
Was this... was this how he really felt? Did he care about her... like she cared about him?
It took her a very long time to commit to him. It took her a long time to finally decide to put her problems aside and try this relationship for him. She wanted to be with him too, but she knew how much it was killing him to not be with her.
Now did he want the same things? Was he tired of waiting for her?
He was just like she thought he was. A liar - a crook. He didn't really care about her at all. In fact, she thought he was doing this because he was bored. She remembered him doing things like this in High School... what would make this any different from the other times he sent women home, crying?
It wasn't any different, she summised. He was the same old Sesshomaru - he was cold, mean, and had a stick up his ass.
Tears welled in her eyes. She was falling in love with him! Didn't he realize that? Dindn't he know about the special place she had for him in her heart? Didn't he know she'd do anything for him?!
No! The smug bastard didn't! He didn't give a damn about her!
She wouldn't let him have the best of her. She wouldn't let the tears fall down her face. She wouldn't cry for him... because he wouldn't cry for her.
So, silently, she willed her tears back and stood up, looking away from him, and left the house. Where she was going, she didn't know.
She just had to get away from here.
Sesshomaru watched as Kagome left his home. She looked as if she was going to cry. But, as if she had gained a strike of confidence, she stood up, and left the house in a bold manner.
He knew it was the lack of words he said to her. He knew it was because she thought he didn't care about her. Didn't she understand, though? He was doing this for her! He didn't want to pressure into something as powerful as a committment!
He wanted to be with this woman! He wanted to hold her, kiss her, love her... but he was afraid she would reject him, after everything that had happened.
Did she not see that?
He knew the answer she was looking for, and he knew she wasn't expecting the one she got.
Honestly, he didn't know what he could say.
He wondered where she was going - he wondered what she was thinking...
He wondered what she was feeling.
Was she safe? Was she unharmed? Where was she? What was on her mind?
He needed to know! He deserved to know!
Anger swelled inside of him - she should know how he felt about her! He had told her once before!
Did she listen, then? If she had, she would have known that he was obsessed with her! He craved her - he needed her!
She was everything to him - and now... he knew that, too.
When she walked out of that door, any questions he had about his feelings for her were answered.
Now, how would he convey them to her?
