Prompt From Lady
White Rose: I Am Worthy Of You
After Sesshomaru had left, Kagome let out a long sigh and sank down into the water, resting her head against her knees. She felt an enormous difference in her self the further Sesshomaru got from her; when she could no longer sense him, even with the furthest extension of her miko senses, she finally relaxed completely and pressed the heels of her hands against her eyes.
Since all of this began, she had not been herself. She had been trying – but Sesshomaru had an influence she apparently could not resist, and Inuyasha had been doing nothing but making her angrier and angrier...
And she was afraid to even go near Sango and Miroku half the time, unsure of what they would say to her, or what might happen if Sesshomaru was to come for her while she was with them. Shippou might be safe; Inuyasha's reaction was a given, and she had been avoiding him for other reasons, anyway. But her human friends?
Even if she asked, it was unlikely Sesshomaru would offer any guarantees.
With a sigh, Kagome scrubbed herself down quickly, rinsed and then dried herself with a fluffy towel. She dressed quickly, shivering a little...sensing eyes on her. Suddenly she wished she had brought her bow with her – but Sesshomaru might not have taken too kindly to that.
There was a rustle – and then the bushes by the riverside parted to show Inuyasha standing there, staring at her. She relaxed, thinking only how glad she was that Sesshomaru had already had left – and then slowly, Inuyasha approached and began to circle her. Her eyes tracked his hands, one gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, the other an even tighter fist. For a moment, she felt a tingle of fear, and then banished it. This was Inuyasha; Inuyasha! He would never hurt her!
In the same moment the thought crossed her mind, he took the three steps necessary to bring him face to face with her, and reached out with his left hand to finger the collar of the shirt she was wearing. His right hand stayed on the hilt of Tetsusaiga; she felt again a shiver of fear.
"Inu...yasha?"
He said nothing, continued to circle her, taking in many details of her scent and appearance which proved, at least to him, that she hadn't suffered for his brother's attentions.
Not at all.
A/N: 400 words! Poor Kagome. Poor Inuyasha. And soon, even poor Sesshomaru. Mwaha. Hints. And continuing on to more bad Inuyasha...
