Chapter fourteen: Calm Before the Raging Storm
Shippo and Rin watch not to far from Sesshoumaru and Kagome. The little fox boy sighed contently. Watching the two reminded him of a fairy tail where the prince always gets the girl or something. How come it couldn't always been this way? But then they didn't always stay with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would probably never hold Kagome like his brother.
Rin smiled and cocked her head to the side. "Sesshoumaru-sama would never hurt his Rin. The first one was fake." She grinned then nodded as if confirming herself true.
"What are you talking about?" Shippo asked, he tore his eyes away from the adults to look at her.
"The demon Kagome fought earlier wasn't him..." She turned away from him then rushed forwards squealing.
Upon hearing Rin's voice Sesshoumaru broke the kiss and turned to great the bubbly girl. "Rin...?"
She ran up to him, tackling his leg and putting it in a death grip. "Kagome's gonna be Rin's new mother and there's gonna be lots of babies to play with!" she squealed nuzzling the leg as if it were a doll. Shippo ran to Kagome and looked up at her grinning.
"Whoa, whoa wait a minuet! Who said anything about children?" the miko said, her face gone pale. Her...children? That's a laugh, besides she was too young! 'Yeah right, in your own time Kagome...' But why was everyone jumping to conclusion? I was just one kiss?
Rin stopped and looked up at her with her best pouty face of death. If it worked with Sesshoumaru then it would work with Kagome! "You mean...no little babies...?" she peered out slyly from behind Sesshoumaru's leg, her eyes wide and filled with tears.
Kagome turned her pleading to Sesshoumaru who smirked and shrugged back. How dare they turn against her! At least Shippo was still loyal. She looked down at the fox child only to find that he sported a smirk similar to Sesshoumaru's, of all the nerve! "Well...Rin...I uh...maybe later when you're older." She faked a smile, or attempted to anyway. It seemed to work because in a heartbeat she had unlatched herself from the demon lord's leg rushed past Shippo shouting out a 'can't catch me!'
Kagome watched them leave then sighed. Then she gently tugged at her long hair. Did he really kiss her or did he do it because she looked like Kikiyo now? She looked like... She shivered slightly then turned.
Come on Kagome! This was Sesshoumaru, not that idiot Inuyasha! No everyone was that stupid. She was just being paranoid...besides he wouldn't do that to her. He's never left her side or made her fell unwanted. He really cared. Besides, he never actually met Kikiyo. She gave a soft smile, chuckling at her silly fears. How could she have ever thought that her Fluffy of all people would hurt her that way? "I'm really sorry you know."
Sesshoumaru cocked his head to the side. "Your apologies are not needed. And don't give me the story about you've cause me too much trouble, its old." She shoot him a glare and he chuckled.
"I was trying to be nice thank you very much!" she huffed crossing her arms over her chest. She turned away muttering a string of curses. "How rude! Honesty..."
Smiling Sesshoumaru snaked his arms back around her waist and nuzzled her hair, taking in its sweet scent. "You've been through a lot Kagome...you should relax."
Kagome stiffened, a blush crawling onto her face. "Thanks mom I might do that." She answered sarcastically, since when did she need someone to tell her what to do? If she didn't listen to Inuyasha what made Sesshoumaru different? Nothing, that's what! 'Inuyasha...it still hurts...that name, it still hurts.'
Sesshoumaru sensed her hurt and pushed her hair back, softly kissing her neck. She melted instantly, sighing with contentment and reaching up to run her hand through his silky hair. So soft... "Do you still think of my brother Inuyasha?" he purred.
Kagome released her hold on the soft tresses and let her hand fall limply to her side. "Yes...occasionally, I guess." She let out a sigh and looked towards the night sky. "I really shouldn't though, not anymore."
"You never really told me why you came here, but I do know that it was because of him." Sesshoumaru hugged her to his chest and looked over his shoulder to Rin and Shippo. The two had found a new interest, the fountain.
The priestess shrugged in his arms. "I found him with Kikiyo a few days before the demon attacked us." She mumbled softly.
Sesshoumaru nodded and said nothing for a while, as if processing the information. So that was it? She came here to escape... "Do you miss him?" he asked after a while.
Kagome turned in his arms and faced him. "What do you mean?"
"Do you miss him?"
She pondered the question for a moment then nodded. "Yeah...yeah, I do." It was the truth. She missed the fights between Miroku and Sango; it was so obvious that they liked each other...and Inuyasha. She missed him too. She didn't know why though.
"Go back to them if you want." He hated saying it but if she still missed him wouldn't it be better for her to go back to where she would be happy? If she admitted to missing him did that mean that she preferred that idiot hanyou over him?
Kagome blinked then searched his face for some kind of a meaning behind the words. He stared at her with such emotionless eyes it almost scared her. "I'm not my against my will, I'm here because this is where I want to be. I'll see them again." She stood up on her toes and planted a kiss on his lips, a small smile on her face. "Besides, it doesn't hurt anymore."
It was true, the pain stops today... Besides, it gets old when you love someone and they never return their feelings. It was time to move on and she knew she could be happy here, with Sesshoumaru. She backed away from him, telling him that she would be leaving to go inside.
The youkai lord watched her save his poor traumatized fish from the two demonic children and usher them inside. Things seemed to be moving so fast. Not to long ago he wanted to kill her and now he was kissing her and craving more. He would never admit it openly but his growing desire for the miko was starting to drive him crazy. And then she was human! He was indeed growing soft...not that he minded. He'd protect her with his very life...she was all that mattered...
