"Good morning Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin exclaimed as she walked into his room. In her hands she held a basket and her friend Kadul came trailing in after her.

"Look what Rin brought you." Rin said holding up the basket.

"Rin and I both helped make them," Kadul stated, anticipation shinning in her little brown eyes.

Sesshoumaru looked in the basket. It was full of drawn pictures and various other little homemade crafts.

"Everyone made one for you Mr. Sesshoumaru. We all want you to get better so you can marry Satsuna and Rin can stay here for ever!" Kadul pronounced.

'Marry Satsuna! What was this child talking about?' "I don't understand" Sesshoumaru stated.

"You do love Satsuna? Don't you Sesshoumaru-sama? Rin hopes you do so that she can stay here with all of her friends." Rin looked hopefully up at Sesshoumaru.

"I do not fall in love with humans"

"Oh" they both said at the same time, obviously disappointed.

Sesshoumaru looked at Rin. Her wounds had completely healed and she was back to her old bouncy playful self.

His wounds too were almost healed. Satsuna had said that at the rate he was going he should be fully healed in at most two weeks.

It had now been a month and a half since he had first come here. He knew that once he was fully healed he would leave. But he really didn't want to. 'Why?' he thought to himself, 'why do I want to stay in the company of these humans. Maybe these children are right maybe I do have feelings for Sat., NO! I don't. I'm acting like a fool.'

A sweet, familiar scent came to him. 'Satsuna' he thought.

She entered the room soon afterwards.

"Well how is everyone?" she asked, aiming the question mainly at Sesshoumaru.

She looked at him and smiled. "Let me see your wounds."

"Ooooooooooooh! Can we see too?" Kadul asked, full of awe.

"What is your fascination with scars? No you can not see them go outside and play. Leave Sesshoumaru to his rest." Satsuna said, exasperated.

"Awwwww! I want to see. Why cant we!?" Kadul wasn't about to give up yet.

Satsuna did not want to go through this right now. She got up and walked out of the room.

"O-oh, I think we made Satsuna angry." Kadul exclaimed.

"What do you mean we? Rin sat here quiet that whole time." Rin pointed out.

"WHAT!?" Kadul was not happy.

Satsuna came back with Todori at her heals.

"Come on girls. Satsuna needs to treat Sesshoumaru, and she can't do it with you distracting her." Todori then picked up both girls and walked out of the room. "I'll see you later," he said over the girls complaints.

"Well then, come on," she took off his shirt and gently looked at his wounds. Sesshoumaru always became nervous when she did this.

Her touch was gentle and soft. She almost massaged him. Why did he enjoy her so much? He wanted to be holding her the way he had that night. He wanted to look in her eyes and have her look back. He wanted it so much that it hurt.

"Why," he thought out loud.

"What?" he had startled her, his voice had sounded so sad.

"Nothing"

"Oh. well turn around" she said.

She went on checking his wounds. It was almost like she never noticed him staring at her. When she did she just smiled and went on with what she was doing. 'How can I feel this way about her and she feel nothing. But what am I thinking!? I feel nothing for her. She is only human.' He knew, though, that he was lying to himself. It was becoming harder and harder to do so. It was beginning to hurt more and more. She never even mentioned the night he had held her like she was his. Did she think it had only been a fluke?

Sesshoumaru was so confused. Everything was piling up. He didn't even understand himself anymore. He would never fall in love with a human, but now he wasn't so sure.

"There. Finished," she proclaimed, looking into his eyes. She started in shock, there was a frantic desperation in them.

"What's wrong?" she said bringing her hand to his face. She gently brushed her hand against it.

Her hand was so gentle. He closed his eyes for a moment and breathed deep.

"Sing to me," he said.

She looked at him surprised, but understanding flooded into her eyes and she began to sing. She sang one of the lullabies that Sesshoumaru had heard her sing to her nieces many times. Her voice was sweet and calm. He suddenly became very happy and to Satsuna's delight all of the sadness left his eyes.

He looked into her eyes. They were beautiful, as usual, but there was an almost frightened look to them, and behind that, a sadness.

Sesshoumaru pulled back. Why was that there? He wanted to take it away. He frantically looked over her as if trying to find a cure. This confused him even more. 'Why do I always fucking care so much! She is only a damn human' But he cared a lot and it seemed that no matter what he did, he always cared.

Satsuna stopped singing. "Why are you so frantic. What are you looking for?"

Sesshoumaru softly pulled her face towards his. "What is wrong? Why are you frightened? Why are you sad? I don't know why but I would never hurt you." He sounded calm and caring, like he was soothing a child.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Um. I have to go. I told my brother I'd .I'd .do something for him." She answered, getting up and heading to the door.

Sesshoumaru knew she was lying, but he let her go anyway. He was now confused even more. There had been tears shinning in her eyes. Why? What had just happened? She was afraid of him and that was all he knew. He sat down not able to take the pain he felt, but this time the pain was not from his wounds.
