Chapter Ten: Kagome

He watched her from over the flames, raw colours and shadows dancing across her face. She looked rather peaceful beside the warmth and wrapped up in furs he was forced to steal. She didn't have to know that he'd stolen them – she'd been so happy when he'd given them to her. He was just tired of watching her shiver every night she continued to cling to his side and robes. He caressed the creases she's created on his sleeve.

She didn't like to be alone.

He didn't know what happened that led to her being by herself however he's been around her enough to know it wasn't by choice, she must've been forcibly separated by her companion or pack. She didn't talk about whatever happened, only about people who she held dear in her too large of a heart. She told him about the little fox that became her son, about the couple who had many children that loved each dearly, the little girl who saved a Lord and the powerful Lord himself that sought redemption for his cold ways. There was someone else too yet she never said anything about him, as if it was too painful.

He only guessed that it was a 'he'.

She made slips from time to time, mentioning his crass language and rough ways. He could tell that she'd given this male her heart; she didn't say she had but he could tell by that sparkle in her eyes and her lovely smile. He was jealous of this male – he'd never been loved like that.

He wished to have a place in her heart too.

"I want to be special too…Kagome." He glanced at her again, finding a soft smile among those shifting shadows and colours. She may have been a pest in the beginning, stopping him every time he got too tired…however he couldn't pinpoint when she stopped being pest. He'd even gone to carrying her around when she could no longer go one till the point where he was stealing to keep her healthy and building fires.

He had never willingly done these things.

The cat youkai watched over the sleeping priestess, guarding her from the evils of the night and ensuring she was kept warm until the sun rose. He stared as those strange orbs fluttered open and those pretty features flush under his attention, laughing when she squeaked and ducked under her furs. He didn't say anything about her smelly breathe when she yawned and merely pointed to the nearest pool of water. His eyes lingering on her humming form before going off to hunt.

She was a human; she didn't know how to properly fend for herself. He thought amusingly, shifting his form into a giant cat and easily tracked their next meal. He silently followed the deer, cursing when he accidently stepped on a twig and took chase. He quickly raced after the creature and over some bushes, catching it by the throat. His sharp canines tore into the deer's soft flesh, taking its life.

Suddenly, his ears picked up on a startled gasp and he glanced up to see Kagome.

"K-Kagome!"

Snippet 11: Incline

Sitting beside her, he stared at her still features…she looked so peaceful. It was as if she knew he acted as her servant, behaving unfit for a Lord and waited on every need she had. That he protected her every night and regularly checked on her during the day.

She wasn't even his…she wasn't his either.

She wasn't the mate or lover of his half-brother, merely a friend. He understood that she had developed feelings for him, one that surpassed friendship and that his brother somewhat too seen her that way. His brother had never pursued her, though he didn't know the reasons. Yet he still felt inclined to send his brother a message and inform him.

With a sigh, he left to find a messenger.
