The Maiden and her Protector

Chapter 49: Pretence

"Kaede is gone, isn't she?"

Grief permeated her voice, but she was no longer crying. It was like she had accepted her fate.

Seshoumaru blinked at her and she just huddled into him, as if trying to keep warm. "I think she knew something was going to happen. That's why she sent me off in such a hurry."

The inuyoukai rumbled, offering comfort.

"You could leave, if you want to. I won't mind. If you're a Lord, then you have responsibilities to see to."

"Do not utter nonsense, girl. I shall stay as long as I wish."

Kagome shrugged, "Suit yourself."

A.N: I know it's been long, but the lack of reviews and the few negative reviews had me really down. I'm sorry. I'm back now and I'll see this fic through.
