Sesshoumaru came once again within centimeters of Kagome's face, while still holding her neck tightly to the tree. She ghasped, in surprise and fear, though his hold was loose enough for her to breathe normally. Why was he doing this? Becaues she tried to escape? But she saved his life, didn't she? well, she couldn't excpect fairness from a demon.
"You really annoy me." whispered Sesshouaru quietly. He was too close. She could feel his breath on her face once again, and it made her tremble. His face not even five centimeters away. It felt like she was breathing in the same air that he was breathing out.
"Why?" she whispered in a shaky voice. She was fighting back tears. If she was going to die, she should at least know the reason.She wished at least that he would let her head turn. She didn't want to look in his eyes, but since they were right in front of her, they were hard to miss. She closed her eyes, and shook in fear, her breaths and heartbeats getting quicker every second.
"It makes me feel weak...I don't understand...tell me...how can you confuse me so that I don't even understand myself?" He muttered calmly, yet tere was anger in his tone.
Kagome's eyes were still shut tight. She didn't really understand. She didn't know what to say, for she didn't want to make him angry, and she didn't know what would make him angry. She knew that it was not a good thing to make Sesshoumaru feel weak. He would no doubt kill her for that."What are you confused about?" she asked finally. Well, it was a pretty general question...he'd either tell her or not.
He didn't answer her. Kagome thought his silence meant the coming of her imminent death. She felt very cold. She was trembling horribly. She her eyes shut, she felt Sesshoumaru's breath still close on her, maybe even getting closer. The silence, the horrible nothing was getting to her. Just let something happen to put her out of her misery. If he is killing her, let him kill her quickly. He can even kill her, just let him do SOMETHING.
But what she felt, she was not prepared for. A soft tounge roll over her bottom lip swiftly, barely grazing it. She felt a jolt go through her body, which seemed familiar yet new. Like it's been there all along, only too faint for her to notice. She couldn't identify it.
She opened her eyes in a state of complete and utter shock, and realized that she has dropped to the ground, into the soft grass. Sesshoumaru has let go of her, and went toward Rin, who was just starting to emerge from the woods, with a pile of wood, as much as she could carry. Sesshoumaru helped her, took some of the logs and copped them into smaller pieces, then disappeared into the forest, no doubt to get some dinner.
Kagome's mind was blank. She felt like all emotion and all memories were drained from her. She has never been so sure she was going to die before. She has never feared anything so horribly before. She just lay in the grass, her eyes drifting closed, and allowed the rays of the setting sun that were dancing through the leaves to warm her up.
____
She was woken up once again by Rin tugging softly on her ear. It really was a sweet gesture. She liked to wake up to see the little girl's smiling face.
She felt warm, comfortable, and for some reason more relaxed than she had in a long time. She didn't want to think. It was just nice to lie in the grass next to the cheerful, warm fire. She was happy when she didn't have to think.
But she had to get up, because the smell of roasting meat hit her nose, and she remembered how hungry she was. She sat up slowly, as if every bone in her body was especially fragile, and her stomach turned when she saw Sesshoumaru sitting on the other side of the fire, his features blurred out by the heat and orange flames of the fire.
She pushed her mind from it...well, she tried as hard as she could. Why did she start to tremble again? out of fear, or something else?
She felt heat rise to her face. She was blushing? For what reason? She took a piece of meat that Rin handed her, and ate like she hasn't eaten in years.
She didn't even know where to start thinking, it was all so confusing. Was Sesshoumaru confused like she was? Was that really possible?
There were too many questions floating around in her mind. She wanted to go to him and ask him, but she was afraid to look into his eyes again. What was there that she was so afraid of?
And that jolt running through her body was only a momentary reaction, completely natural right? Nothing deeper. Just a natural reaction to having been so close to him.
She calmed herself with that a little. But still she was swimming in questions that she was afraid she would never get answers to.
