Kagome walked silently down the hallways of the castle toward Sesshomaru's study. She couldn't wait to see her family again. She couldn't wait to show off her new moves and sword to Souta. It was going to be so fun. The thought brought a smile to her face and a skip to her step. She hummed as she walked down the castle hallways. She stopped in front of a door and knocked.
"Come in." Came a murmur form behind the door. Kagome opened the door and walked inside.
"You ready to go?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru stood and walked toward the door. He stopped mere inches away from Kagome. Her breath caught in her throat. Was he going to kiss her again? Her heart pounded against her chest. Did she want him to? She was locked into his golden orbs. Her magenta eyes danced. What was he doing? Finally, after what seemed like forever of staring there was a knock at the door. She could have sworn she heard Sesshomaru growl. In walked Jaken. Man, she didnt know if she wanted to kick him or well she would never kiss him. Yeah, Kicking sounded good. Before she got the chance though, Sesshomaru put a boot to Jaken's head.
"This better be good." He growled. Jaken muffled words but no one could understand him. Sesshomaru lifted his foot so Jaken could speak.
"Sorry for disturbing you my lord. This Jaken is not worthy..." Jaken wailed at Sesshomaru's feet. Kagome growled.
"Get on with it Jaken!" She snapped. Sesshomaru looked at her almosted shocked. He let one of his rare smiles slip. Jaken wailed in fear and took a step back. Sesshomaru went back to his cold expression.
"S-sorry My lord! I've only came to let you know that everything is prepared for your journey." Jaken shrieked and ran out of the study. Kagome smiled.
"Well I guess we should get going." Kagome said turning to leave. She felt a hand on her shoulder. 'Oh no...please dont kiss me...' Kagome thought, 'I dont know If I can resist you this time...'
As if reading her thoughts his hand dropped.
"Come." he commanded, his voice was his usaul coldness but for some reason...it sounded so nice to her. She had only heard that when he spoke to Rin. Kagome smiled. He was being strangely nice to her even after she had slapped him and insulted him. SHe had a strange feeling Kyo and Sani had something to do with it. Woman's intention. She walked out of the study with Sesshomaru following her.
"Are we walking there?" She asked. Silence.
'Yes." He answered. She nodded. More silence. His boots hit the stone hallways of the castle. It was music to her ears. His steps were equal to her heat and she liked that. It brought her peace. She walked beside him, in silence. Every once in awhile she'd catch him glancing at her. Ok. Now it was getting annoying.
"What?! you keep looking at me..." She asked turning her head to him. He smirked.
"Nothing wench." he answered. Kagome scoffed. He was going to have stop calling her that.
"Whatever fluffy." She mummbled. He stopped smirking, which earned a soft giggle come from Kagome. He half snorted. They were back to square one. He mentally sighed. They walked out into the courtyard and toward the forest. Kagome's usual heavy backpack was now pretty small and light.
"Why did you bring your bag?" He asked.
"Well, I wanted to get some more clothes while I was home and some more supplies. I also packed some food so that i could eat on the way there. I do eat you know." She answered. He remained silent as they passed his Castle's barrier and into the busy forest. Kagome glanced at him. Why was he always so emotionless?
"Hey Sesshomaru, Can I ask you something?" She asked looking up at him. His eyes shifted to look at her but he said nothing. She was use to it though.
"What do you have against emotions and humans?" She aksed. Sesshomaru remained quiet for a long time. She finally gave up on him replying. Like he would really reveal his past to her. She should have known.
"I was 17 in human years. My father and mother were together then. They were happy and I was happy. My mother had brought one of her lady-in-waiting with her. She was about 15 then and she was human. Her name was Sakura. After awhile I began to grow fond of her. And soon I was courting her. My father was pleased, he was always fond of humans. But my mother was not happy. She didn't aprove of me courting a Servant girl. One night I awoke to a comotion coming from my mother's room. I went to find out what had happened," Sesshomaru said but he had stopped there. Kagome looked up at him in awe. Had he just opened up to her? Did he...show her trust? The feeling she had right now were mixed. She didn't know what to think of it. She had never seen this side of Sesshomaru and she frankly thought she never would. A month or two ago they were enemies. Sure, they had teamed up to beat Naraku but that was only because they shared a common enemy. If someone would have told her that she would join forces with Sesshomaru and her supposed dead father to fight in a war, then have him confess his love to her and then tell her about his past, she would have died laughing. She would have enver believed it. The sound of Sesshomaru's voice brought her back to reality.
"...She had killed my mother. I saw her standing over my mother, covered in blood. How my mother was tooken down by a mere human, I will never know. My youkai blood raged and I slaughtered her. I vowed then to never fall in love again. I hated humans. Soon my father remarried. To a human no less. I was disgusted at my father for it. I left then, after Inuyasha was born. I could not and would not stay to watch a filthy half-breed grow up." He finsihed. Kagome's eyes danced. He sounded so hurt. Kagome had never seen a hurt look in his eyes before.
"I'm so sorry to bring up so painful memories." Kagome whispered. He snorted.
"The past is the past. There is nothing to be down with it now." His voice returned to it's harsh coldness. Kagome stopped walking. He sounded so much like Inuyasha when he said that. Sesshomaru was not the man she thought he was. He did have feelings, although he kept them locked away. He looked at her.
"Thank...Thank you for sharing that with me. It...It means alot to me." Kagome said looking up at him. His once cold eyes were brighter. He looked so different. Of course, to a naked eye, one would not see the change. But she did. ANd that's all that mattered.
