for a rainy day! ^^
Chapter Eight: With Time Comes Healing.
Kagome inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet scent of the flowers around her. She casually strolled around the garden. Yesterday forgotten she was finally drug from her room by Rin and Shippo. Her tattered uniform had been replaced with a midnight blue kimono. At her left shoulder a shower of white roses started cascading down and across ending at the bottom right of the kimono. She loved it. Sesshoumaru insisted that she have some new clothes. He said that she would look ridiculous walking around in a bloody outfit, which was true but she didn't need him to tell him that.
"Can't catch me!" Shippo's voice rang throughout the evening air followed by giggling. They had been playing for a while now, tag it was...yeah that's it. It was a cute sight to watch. It almost reminded her of Sota when he was little. She used to watch him run across the field with his friends. Now you couldn't pry him away from his stupid video games...he'd be as big as a blimp by the time she graduated...she just knew it.
"I'll catch you!" Rin called back racing after the fox boy. Her face set with determination her pressed forwards. She'd show him!
"Na-uh! You're too slow!" Shippo ran to Kagome and hid behind her kimono, gripping it tightly. Rin rushed over shortly a glare on her face. Shippo in return grinned at her from behind his 'new shelter'. Giggling Kagome stepped aside, giving the girl more access to her playmate. Shippo looked up at her with big eyes before running off again. "No fair Kagome!"
"Sorry Shippo!" she giggled. She turned, walking back to the fountain and sitting at it's edge. Peaceful, so peaceful. "Ah!" Her hand shot out to her side again. The throbbing pain had returned had returned, it was dull but still there and it bothered her. Letting out a soft groan she brought her hand to her face only to drop them again. Sharp claws extended from him and a look of alarm crossed her face. Why was this happening...? She should leave...leave now before she had a repeat of last night with Sesshoumaru.
Her mind up, Kagome quickly hid her hands and slowly backed away from the two children. It would be better if she went away unnoticed, then she wouldn't have to worry about answering the little one's questions. But where would she go once she left here? Back to Inuyasha? Yeah right, like he'd care... She couldn't go home, not like this.
"Kagome, Kagome!" she froze as the raven-haired girl approached her, a grin plastered on her face. Shippo trailed behind no to far behind, panting and out of breath.
The young priestess forced a smile. "What is it Rin?" She asked softly, her hands fidgeting behind her back. Maybe they wouldn't notice. But then again they might, children notice the simplest things sometimes.
Rin stared at her for a while; she looked like a big kid standing there with her hands behind her back. Maybe one day she could get her to play with them instead of watching. Yeah.that would be fun. "Kagome...will you be Rin's new mother?"
Kagome blinked. Mother...? Her? She looked down at the small girl, then at Shippo who smiled up at her. "I...I'm not sure I know what you mean Rin." She answered. She couldn't leave here. Shippo and Rin, she couldn't leave them they were just to cute!
"Sesshoumaru-sama is like Rin's father and you both seem to like each other a whole lot...so can you?" she looked up pleadingly, with a pout to match. "Please? I'll be a good girl, promise!" she smiled this time.
"Me...like Sesshoumaru?" Kagome blushed a deep crimson. "You've got to be kidding me! What gave you that idea?" that was the most ridiculous thing anyone could ever tell her! The things children say!
"Well it's true Kagome." Shippo added, a sly smirk on his face. "You get along better with Sesshoumaru better than you did with Inuyasha!" he chuckled a little when her blush turned a little darker.
Kagome backed up, intending to leave. "Shippo, you're jumping to conclusions." She didn't get far because as soon as she had taken a few paces she ran into something. Turning around she looked up and met a pair of yellow eyes. "Sesshoumaru...? I'm sorry! Didn't see you there." Kagome mumbled, bringing her hands up to run them through her hair. It was then that she noticed that her hands had turned back to normal. How very strange...
He gave her a curt nod then looked to Rin, who in turn nodded, grabbing Shippo and leading him back into the house. She knew that when he gave her that look he needed privacy. He watched them leave before turning back the Kagome. "So tell me, why is it that you came here in there first place?" he watched her intently as he waited for an answer.
Kagome shrugged in reply and looked to the ground. "I came here to kill you at first, remember?" she replied. That obviously wasn't what he wanted to hear because his gaze never left her. Those yellow eyes searched her closely, sending, shiver a down her spine.
Sesshoumaru's gaze never faltered. "You're lying, I can tell." He replied softly. She shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and he noticed. "I know had something to do with that idiot hanyou Inuyasha...am I right?" There was something unusual about her showing up on his lands and he wanted to know why.
Inuyasha, that name brought back such memories. Her uneasiness suddenly turned to anger and she glared up at him. "I don't know what you're talking about. And just who do you think you are prying into my life?"
Sesshoumaru said nothing for a while, but his eyes never leave hers. "Fine...if you do not wish to tell me I'll respect you request." He fell silent again and said nothing more about the subject.
Kagome looked as if she had more to say but stopped. He wasn't going to bother her about it? No wait...this is Sesshoumaru, not Inuyasha! She sighed, relaxing a little. A nice bath would do her some good right about now. Help her relax. She muttered a good night to Sesshoumaru and went around him to leave but stopped as he reached out and grabbed her hand. Instantly her anger flared up again. "Look, I told you I don't want to talk about it so drop it!" She froze suddenly realizing the look she was receiving. She had a feeling that he didn't want to ask her a question...
Topazia: I know, I know! Evil place to stop. *cowers* don't hurt me! ^^'
Next chapter: Wistful Thinking
Kagome can't seem to keep her mind of a certain silver haired youkai... She's starting to make some changes...one's that will stay with her. Meanwhile, she's not alone a demon is nearby and trouble is brewing...And I'm sure a lot of you have been waiting for some type of fight scene, but be patient it's coming and I think you'll find it interesting.hopefully ^^
