"Mom this is, Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru, my mother," Kagome still a little out of it, Sesshomaru nodded to her mother,
"I found the pills you told me about, you shall take them," Sesshomaru holding them out to her in the palm of his clawed hand, she slowly stretched her arm the short distance and gently picked the pills up and popped them in her mouth, her mother saw something small drop out of the lord's undergarments, but he seemed to being caring for her daughter instead of paying any attention to it, he moved his hand under her neck and gently lifted her head so she could drink the offered water he held in the glass.
"Rest Kagome," Sesshomaru brushing her hair away from her forehead and checking her temperature again, he felt the scar that he had missed before, he looked at her forehead, he stared, there was a mark, the same mark of the house of moon.
"Woman, you will show me pictures of this wreck that she was in," Sesshomaru harshly, her mother nodded, she sat down at the computer in Kagome's room, she brought up the pictures and the accident report in the paper,
"Here, what's so important about her scar?" her mother asked,
"It is the house of moon marking," Sesshomaru moving his bangs to the side, she found the same marking on his forehead,
"So you are him, Lord Sesshomaru, my father tried to tell us that you weren't a myth, I will make up the guest bedroom for you," Kagome's mother about to walk out of the room.
"I shall stay by your daughter's side, this Sesshomaru is in her debt," Sesshomaru not tearing his eyes off the screen of the computer,
"What kind of breakfast do you prefer?" her mother asked,
"I will take care of my own, but this Sesshomaru appreciates your hospitality," Sesshomaru explained coolly.
"Are you aware that your daughter is carrying the Shikon Jewel in her body? That is the only reason your daughter is still alive, that wreck should have killed her," Sesshomaru strongly. There came a gasp, Sesshomaru turned around and looked at the older woman,
"So everything is true, my father was talking about the well on the shrine saying it was a passageway to another time, I guess you are from that time, and that is your way home, you are not safe here, and I suppose my daughter is not safe anymore here either, once she is well she will take you to your time," her mother explained. Sesshomaru nodded,
"I will bring a wet cloth for you to keep on her head, it will help break her fever," her mother explained.
~Definitely, she could have only survived if it was the jewel inside her body, no human could have survived something like that, but there has to be more behind that scar on her forehead, it could not be a mere accident that the scar turned into the house of moon mark, father, are you up to something? Are you and the Kamis planning on something? It will never work, this Sesshomaru will not take a mere human miko as a mate, not even if she is the Shikon No Tama priestess.~ Sesshomaru growled as he thought to himself. Sesshomaru glanced at the girl lying in bed,
~You realize you owe her for saving your ass, if she can get us home you owe her even more, and if she manages to give you your arm back, well, lets just say…~ Sesshomaru's beast being interrupted,
~Be quiet, you are grating on this Sesshomaru's last nerves.~ Sesshomaru holding his head.
"Here, just place it on her forehead and when it starts to get warm turn it over and use that side, and if it gets too warm, go to the bathroom and wet it with cold water and ring it out," her mother explained.
"Miss Higurashi, why are you and your daughter so nice to a full demon blooded demon such as myself?" Sesshomaru asked.
"My daughter does it because she must like the stories in the scrolls or maybe because around you she feels as if she is home and has at least one friend to care about, I do it because my daughter believes in people, or at least she used to, she has a big heart and cares at least for you, I just, I try to look at things like she does, she is fragile though, she wont put herself in the past again because she lost her best friend in that wreck, she has built walls around her heart so she would never feel that pain again and it looks as if you broke at least one wall down," Kagome's mother smiling.
"How did this Sesshomaru do that?" Sesshomaru staring at a spot on the window as he thought out loud.
"With you being near in a sense you have given her my father back Sesshomaru glanced at Kagome, she had looked mangled up beyond recognition and in a coma, but now she looked as if nothing bad had ever happened to her. He took the cloth from her mother and moved over to the bed, he crawled under the covers with her and sat behind her with her laying up against his chest, he brushed her bangs back and held the cloth on her forehead,
"This Sesshomaru is very appreciative for the hospitality that you have shown him," Sesshomaru strongly. Ms. Higurashi bowed,
"Kagome was in a coma after the wreck, for how long? Did she ever stop breathing?" Sesshomaru asked.
"She didn't stop breathing in the hospital, but I don't know about before that, she was in a coma for two weeks, but in those two weeks her body healed completely, the broken ribs, her crushed leg, the gashes she had, everything, it was all healed," her mother explained.
"It was because her powers healed her," Sesshomaru gently rubbing the sweat off Kagome's forehead and face,
"I made a necklace out of your keepsake, this way, you can wear it if you like," Kagome's mother explained, she slipped it into his clawed hand and stepped away,
"Well, goodnight I guess, and Lord Sesshomaru, thank you for saving my daughter," Kagome's mother thanking him,
"It was my honor, she saved my life at the risk for hers, so I owed her, miss Higurashi, may I ask what happened to Kagome's father?" Sesshomaru asked.
"He was killed in a car wreck when my son was a baby," Ms. Higurashi explained,
"I apologize," Sesshomaru bowing his head,
"It was a while back, but he is always with all of us and watching over us," Ms. Higurashi's eyes shining with tears. Sesshomaru stared at her,
"Your daughter possesses strength, she gets it from her mother," Sesshomaru having a new respect for the woman.
"I have to be strong, I have a family to protect and care for, once you find someone to have a family with, you shall be the strongest lord in the lands," Ms. Higurashi smirked. Sesshomaru angled his head a little,
"Goodnight Ms. Higurashi," Sesshomaru coolly, she bowed again and left the room, shutting the door to give them some privacy. Sesshomaru's father's words played in his head,
~Do you not have someone to protect?~ Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome, he gripped the bullet in his clawed hand,
~This Sesshomaru does not need protection from weak humans.~ Sesshomaru suddenly getting angry.
~Kagome is pretty strong for a human, her mother seems so also.~ his beast explained.
~This Sesshomaru will not let a human become his mate, not in this lifetime or the coming future.~ Sesshomaru growled as he hastily shoved the piece of metal that had been embedded in Kagome's side onto the night stand. His arms unconsciously tighten around Kagome, he was starting to fall asleep from all the excitement.
