Chapter 33: Father
Kagome shook a bit and Sesshomaru scented her fear in the air. In all the time he had known his mate, the demon had not gotten to know her.
Not truly.
He's lusted after the woman. Been impressed by her powers by her mothering nature but had yet to ask of her life before him.
"You all have been so kind and I've just been so selfish. I'm doing all I can to not mesh my emotions in this. I know our duties require us to at least be civil." Kagome felt some shame.
It was like her father said. She was a child playing house.
The mikos father had initially planned to keep the girl hidden away and made to become the bride of lord Onigumo. Yet his half demon half brother sought the jewel that was supposedly inside the living miko.
So, instead when the demons needed a bride and Kikiyo refused Kagome was the only option.
The young woman was a tool to use, the wrath of her father scared the woman. The letters he wrote Were bringing more fear for her family at home.
Kagome's father hated the fact that he had to give one of his pure daughters to a demon.
The threats to her body and life if she were to step out of line made the miko fearful.
The biggest threat was to not fall in love or Nameko might lose himself in his rage.
"Kagome!" Sesshomaru was gripping the miko by her shoulders pulling her away from her dark thoughts.
"This a Sesshomaru can not help you if you do not talk."
Kagome was failing miserably at not falling in love with her husband. He even in his justified anger still worried for her state.
His mate burst into blubbering tears and fell into his embrace.
This was his mate. Though she slighted him, he had been blind and ignorantly causing her emotional pain.
"Tell this one mate what caused you to react as such." Sesshomaru stared down into the mess that was his human.
