Chapter 54: Snow touches Ice
Flurry of green and azure passed by her eye sight as the constant tug on her right wrist brought her closer and closer to the blue sky. The raven black hair whirled as it hit the breeze that the speed she was currently being dragged. Opening her squinted eyes, she glanced down and quickly closed them again like a scared girl riding a roller coaster. As she heard the wind and felt her ears being to feel a little numb from the noise she remembered when this had happened to her at first. She was being chased that time, but was she being hunted like a helpless little rabbit again? She didn't think she was though.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes as she remembered exactly way she was bursting through the sky in the first place.
'Why am I worrying? The first time it was his entire fault, that I went through the sky in the first place all though it was very much needed.'
Squinting her eyes once more to shield them from the wind that was currently assaulting her without means.
'Maybe this is his doing as well? Or is he doing this because he is too lazy to come and see me himself?'
The black hair that sits onto her head flipped around her wildly as something greyish became visible as she neared it. She tried to keep her eyes from widening as she saw the same floating structure from a different angle.
'Wow, I am beginning to see more of this place.' She thought to herself as she began to see the edge of the floating palace.
The wind no longer hindered her as she began to see over the edge. She looked more of a floating apparition than a girl that did not belong.
Like an opening to an anime that shows the color next to the grey and black version epically, Kagome saw the palace in such a way. For, she was able to see the entire palace from a bird's point of view instead of her regular sight field. The gentle breeze blew past her as she was slowly and gently tugged over to the east side of the beautiful place. Kagome let her eyes ravage over everything that she could visibly see. Kagome's rest slowly began to tug her towards the skillfully paved ground as she continued to drift like a kite after it.
Lightly touching the ground her wrist tugged her straight dragging her after it. A quick and sharp turn to the right as the ribbon served as a guide through the entire building. She was like a little kid in a candy store. Her eyes scanning and her mouth agape, as she tried to remember and take every small details in with her eyes. Kagome was now being slowly dragged down the hall way as slowly as the oncoming of spring was. She blinked slowly when she was stopped in front of a door. Staring at it the door, she looked back at her wrist and then back towards the obstacle that was hiding whatever was inside of the room. For a small moment she just stood there in front of the door. A quiet fear of what might happen if someone found her there, and she was not supposed to. Even though, this fear was somewhat pointing to the fact that she should open the door and enter, she did not want to go in for the simple fact that something might be in there.
'Well, why am I in front of this door?' She thought to herself idly.
The silence was almost peaceful and welcomed until a sole voice broke through fluidly. Serving, to startle her a little although, she looked more like a dear in head lights.
"Well, aren't you going to come in?" a masculine voice spoke.
Kagome blinked and then opened the door hesentily, and walked in to see a silvered haired male sitting on his window ceil. With on hand on his raised knee and his other laying aside his straight laid leg. He was looking out of the window, but when she entered his silver covered head turned to look at her. Kagome fully walked into the room and then closed it behind her.
"Well, long time no see…Kagome." He finished as he continued to stare at her.
"Yea, yea it is you jerk. Why you still here? You got lazy to come and see me." Kagome called him out.
"Way to say hello huh? And no, I am stuck in here." He answered as he nodded his head at the door located behind her.
"You're grounded?" Kagome said shocked.
"Yes, demons get grounded to you know."
'Oh well that explains a lot.' Kagome finalized.
"And may I ask why am I here?" she questioned.
She saw one of his hands in his bangs as he brushed them out and put his arm back down.
"No I do not…you're here because you have training to finish and I'm bored." He spoke with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Bored? I understand training but boredom." Kagome giggled.
"I am not entirely emotionless you know." His voice called.
'Of course he would be bored; I mean he is stuck in this room all day.' Kagome continued in her head.
A moment of silence went by as she looked at him and his gazed returned her own.
"Come here." He said as he watched her take her first step towards him.
Kagome crossed the remaining distance between them to be close enough near him. Though, she did not say anything after he asked her to come near him. She wanted him to finish what he was saying if he was going to finish what he started. He reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist bringer her over his lap effectively.
"Prevents a shadow from casting under the screen door." He explained quickly before she could make up much noise.
Kagome's face went flushed before she looked at his face and nodded her consent. Kagome turned her head to look at the door. She was watching to see if anyone would actually pass by his room. Though she did not doubt it, it was only a subconscious thing.
"If you are worried no one would come by this room knowing that I am not allowed to not even have a guest." He confirmed for her.
Like a mother knowing her daughter and she might as well, thought that he was a mind reader. Almost everything that she does he literally gives an answer to her thoughts moments later if not the next day.
"Ah, I see." She responded as she turned her face towards him looking at the crescent mark on his forehead.
She slowly brought her hand up to his crescent mark and hesitated before actually touching it. Sesshomaru brought his clawed hand up to hers and brought it closer to his crescent mark and let her lightly touch it.
"Curious aren't you?" he spoke.
Kagome slowly traced the mark around on his forehead. She looked as dazed as a cat watching cat nip. The color of it was so pretty to her. But, she was curious to how it was on his forehead. Was it painted or was he born with it. She wanted to know and ask him but, her training comes first.
Kagome realized that she was staring a gold orbs. His eyes and found it sort of rude. She decided to look away from and face and look somewhere else. Since, it was obviously not helping the fact that she might like the youkai.
"um…the training?" Kagome elaborated.
Sesshomaru just stared at her and then looked out the window. His were eyes being lite to life by the slight sunlight that embraced the earth outside.
"Your senses, you need to be able to sense danger before it gets you." He responded silently.
Kagome looked up at him with her mouth lightly gaped and eyes half opened.
'My senses? But aren't they already able to pick up danger? What's wrong with the way they are now.'
Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and stared at her face, letting his eyes roam across her face. Slowly he let his youkai out. Making sure, to not let out much so his mother and guards would not come running to his room. Kagome remained calm in his lap it was only a couple of minutes later that she began to fidget. He felt her hands on his hakuma and he looked down to see that she was clutching to him. He slowly brought his right hand up to her raven hair and touched the top of her head.
"It's mine."
With only two words he watched her visibly relax like a little girl being told that there is nothing to be afraid of by her father.
'She's not completely oblivious to her surroundings.'
Snow
Kagome laid her head on his chest. Silver hair shifted as a pair of gold eyes stared at her.
Touches
Kagome looked like an infant snuggling towards warmth. He was as warm as a spring day.
Ice
Sesshomaru continued to stare at the girl, who seemed to have forgotten that they had a lesson to complete.
