With the kind of single minded determination only children held, Kagome walked slowly through the hospital, passing bed after bed until she reached the doors. A gentle swell of power she wouldn't remember using had the guards opening the door on the other side and with a sleepy smile, she moved past them.
She noticed as they fell in behind her, both wary and worried as they followed her. In her childish state, all she understood was that she was hurt, that her whole body ached. But that was nothing compared to the desire inside her to see her Sho'mru. And so she followed her nose from hall to hall, unnoticing as one of the guards fell off to seek the Lord and Lady.
When she finally found him, felt the quiet slumbering warmth of his presence, she smiled and turned to the guard still with her. They were outside the nursery, where both children usually still slept. She pointed at the door. "Sho'mru," she mumbled, stumbling over the pronunciation. "Sho'mru," she said again.
The guard hesitated at the door, wondering what exactly the protocol for this situation was, if there was even such a protocol. Before he could do anything though, the doors were pushed open and the object of the girls desire was suddenly before them.
"'Gome," he mumbled sleepily, staring at her with bleary eyes and sleep mussed hair. He held his hand out then and when she took it, he picked her up. Even as a child, he was stronger than her and so it was easy, but he was only a little bigger so it just looked awkward.
Still, she nuzzled against his neck, taking in his scent as he held her close. "'Gome missed you," she mumbled, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck.
He smiled against her hair, content to hold her as he turned back to the nursery. "Missed you more," he whispered and moved them both back into the room. When he reached the bed, he set her down and crawled in next to her, fast asleep within seconds.
