chap 14
Tossing and turning.
He sighed again as he let his arms fall to his sides - having been resting across his face. He looked up at the ceiling of his room, he couldn't sleep. All he could think about was that girl, that Kagome, as his mother had called her.
If she had truly been here since her childhood he surely would have remembered her, especially since she seemed so favored by the rest of his family. Who is she really?
Surely this is why he could not rest. He had been on his way to confront her when his brother had stopped him in the hall, after he had been stopped by Tsunade, whom he was beginning to be less tolerable of.
"What are you doing Sesshoumaru?" That is what Inuyasha had asked when he had met him in the hall out side of the room of that wraith.
"Where is she Inuyasha?" he asked.
"What? Do you mean Kagome? She's in her room, why?"
Sesshoumaru made to move past his brother and into the room, but Inuyasha had caught him by his sleeve. "You can't go in there Sess."
He stopped and turned his gaze toward his brother. "And why is that? I have questions and she most likely has the answers I seek."
Inuyasha shook his head. "Sesshoumaru, I don't think you should. She's been through enough, she barely eats, she hardly sleeps. You have seen her, she is wasting away. I'm not so sure you should bother her right now."
"I will get my answers." Sesshoumaru said as he turned to leave, headed toward his own room.
Huffing he sat up in bed. 'At this rate I'll not get any sleep tonight.' At this thought he tilted his head and a small smirk played across his lips at an idea he just had. 'If I cannot sleep she shall not.'
With that thought he got out of bed and headed for the door.
