"And you know how to get back to your party?"
Kagome smiled at the girl in front of her.
"Yes, I'm good. Thank you."
The waitress bowed with both hands in front of her torso. "It was no problem, miss. I shall take my leave now." With that, the girl turned on her heel and headed out of the hallway.
With a sigh, Kagome walked into the women's restroom. Luckily for the miko, there was no one inside. Muttering curses under her breath, she awkwardly made her way to the marble counter with the sinks, nude heels clicking annoyingly. She rummaged through her black clutch for the band aids she had packed. The miko shook off one of her heels, as she ripped a band aid with her teeth. One hand clutched on the counter for leverage, while the other hand carefully placed the band aid on the back of her ankle. The heels had not been worn before, so the backs of it had scraped at the skin of her ankle. Kagome had contemplated using her spiritual abilities but thought otherwise. There was something off about the aura in this restaurant and she didn't want to risk catching the attention of anything supernatural. Just for tonight, she'd cloak her aura. With a grunt, the girl shoved her foot back into the heel. Clutch in her hand, Kagome just walked out when she bumped into another person.
"I-i-i-i-itai!" Kagome's hands covered her nose in pain.
"Higurashi?"
Blue eyes opened to meet chocolate brown.
"Hojo?" The miko said flabbergasted. "W-what are you doing here?"
He beamed at her, eyes crinkled, teeth sparkling, and all. "I'm here for dinner with a couple of colleagues. What about you?"
It was then, Kagome noticed he was dressed up with a button up shirt and a pair of slacks. The picture was a bit weird to her. The Hojo she remembered was still the health nut high schooler who always rode the bike to school.
"I, uh-"
Before she could fully register what happened, an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against a warm body. Said body nuzzled the crown of her head. Not too later, a baritone voice sent familiar, warm rumbles down her body. "Kagome, a friend of yours?"
She looked up and her heart stopped.
Amber eyes.
She couldn't believe it. Her hands covered her lips in disbelief. It wasn't possible, but she'd recognize those eyes anywhere.
"S-sesshomaru?" The girl muttered. It was so quiet if it weren't for the inu's sensitive hearing, he too would not have heard it. As to confirm, he ever so lightly tightened his arm around the miko's waist, his golden eyes locked on the human male in front of him. Hojo. The boy was frozen in place. He saw how a bead of sweat began to trickle down his temple and how a gulp sent his Adam's apple bobbing. Sesshomaru recalled his annoying predecessor. He had been an absolute pest. The lord's eyes narrowed and he took satisfaction in the fear that seemed to seep into the human's aura increased by tenfold.
"Come," he said, his eyes still trained on Hojo. "The others are waiting." The daiyoukai began escorting his imouto to their room.
"Um, it was nice seeing you again, Higurashi!"
Kagome was still too shell shocked to reply. In fact, she had only started walking because Sesshomaru was guiding her. They hadn't walked for long when Kagome pushed herself away from him.
"Imouto wha-"
After the resound of a crack, all was silent. The demon lord did not react to the stinging pain on his cheek. Kagome's barriers had crumbled and she looked at her older brother accusingly, azure eyes glassy with tears. "You asshole," she growled lowly. "Do you even know what I went through?" Azure eyes were cold and hard. Fists began beating at the inuyoukai's chest. "You left me!"
Golden eyes hardened. "It was for your own safety."
Sapphire eyes flashed. "My own safety?" She snarled. "Me being there was the best chance we had in destroying Ryuun for good!" Kagome jabbed a glowing finger at his chest causing the daiyoukai to wince in pain. "I knew this! You knew this! And so did every other person fighting on our side!" She huffed and fell quiet, in an attempt to catch her breath. Trails of tears flowed down the miko's rosy cheeks. Arms by her sides, hands curled into fists. Her eyes were still laced with anger, but they slowly lost their harshness. "You promised we'd be in it together," she muttered. Kagome bit her lip and looked up at Sesshomaru. "And you lied," she whispered.
The demon lord was unprepared for the wave of guilt that washed over his body. His heart ripped at the sight of the broken girl before him. It was his fault she was like this. He was to blame. Shame consumed every fiber of his being. He was Kagome's alpha and he had failed her.
He took a step toward her. The miko was avoiding his gaze and instead, her eyes were concentrated at the floor. Hesitantly, he brought both arms around her small frame. He took note of how she lost some weight and brought her into a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair. He ignored how she didn't return his embrace and how her arms were stiff at her side. Instead, he let aura roll out in comforting waves. "Forgive me, Kagome," he rumbled.
The miko's face was resting on top of her older brother's shoulder when more streams of tears ran down her face. Her lower lip trembled. She bawled, burying her face into Sesshomaru's chest. "I hate you so much right now!"
The lord merely grunted, rocking the miko from side to side to comfort her. "You are no longer alone, little miko."
"Once I'm done crying, I'm gonna purify your fucking ass!"
The male rolled his eyes, knowing the miko wouldn't see him. "Hai, hai."
