chapter 3: nightmare, eased
they had arrived to his castle at sunset. they entered without a word said. but she didn't realize that he was still holding her
in his arms. when he finally let her down she heard a giggle of a girl. she looked around and saw a little human girl cling
herself to sesshumaru's leg. and HIM not minding! but then the girl let him go and looked at her. she smiled innocently.
"ohaio! rin's name is rin. what's onee-chan's name?"
"i'm kagome. hello rin. nice to meet you." she smiled at the not so educated girl. it was cute.
the girl's smile grew larger at how nice kagome was.
"is kagome onee-chan gonna be my new mama?"
"eh?!" she blushed at the thought! 'bad kagome! bad kagome! don't think THAT!!!'
"rin lost old family. but sesshumaru-sama save rin. and rin like sesshumaru-sama. sesshumaru-sama rin's papa."
"eh?"
"jaken-sama plays with rin. but jaken-sama sometimes mean and sesshumaru-sama kicks jaken-sama to outer-pace!"(space)
"eh?"
"is that all you can say?" sesshumaru butted in
"rin can't wait! rin's gonna have a new mama!"
"EH?!!!!!!!" her skriech echoed all over the castle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"this will be your chamber. mine is right beside yours and rin's is beside mine. you will join us at dinner and play with rin
from time to time." he said letting kagome into the wonderful looking room. it was fit for a princess!
"hai. demo... how will i know where the dining room is?"
"jaken will show you where. but first, take a bath and change your kimono. you will not wear such indecent clothing"
"hey! where i come from, we wear this as a uniform! nothing is indecent about it! so if you want me to wear something
else, you just have to tear my clothes off!" she said sarcastically
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
was she serious?! he needed to tear her clothes off for her to change to more descent clothes?! he, sesshumaru, will do of
no such thing! never! but was she serious?! a very tiny thought crept into his mind because of the last comment he heard
from her. well if she insists... NO! he shall not do of such things. he was partially amused. but only raised a brow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just like reading his mind, kagome blushed and her eyes widened in realization of what he was thinking.
"no! i was just being sarcastic! no! no! no! don't even think about it! i wasn't serious, Baka no HENTAI!" as quickly as her
realization came, she realized she had just called the Lord of the western lands an idiot pervert! she covered her mouth
with one hand and turned away, too embarrassed to look at him.
but then he grabbed her arm to turn to him. she quickly turned to face an angry sesshumaru. not fusing but mad with self
control.
"listen, human. i have been patient with your little outbursts. and i still spared you. but i will not accept you calling me
an idiot nor a hentai." he said through his calm mask. but his grip on her wrist seemed to get tighter by each word spoken.
his claws had burried themselves through her wrist and she started to bleed. feeling the hurt, she could only whisper,
"itei..." as she flinched.
realizing what she was hurt for, he loosened his grip only to see blood flow. why was he so angry as to do this. normally he
had enough self control.
-----------------------------------
they were sitting on the edge of the bed. sesshumaru had been wrapping her wound with the torn piece of cloth he had
from his sleeve. he was being watched by wary blue-gray eyes. somehow this reminded her of when she was the one
trying to cover HIS wounds.
"so... how're your wounds?"
"fine..."
"mind telling me how you got there?"
"."
"mind telling me how you saved and ended up with rin?"
"."
"mind telling me why you still keep that sorry excuse for a toad which just happened to have a name, which was Jaken?"
a small smile crept onto his delicate face.
"you're humor intrigues me, human."
"what happened to calling me kagome?"
"." she pouted.
"o.k.! if that's what you want, then i'll just have to call you fluffy."
"fluffy?" she couldn't help but giggle. she pointed at the tail resting on his shoulders.
but then sesshumaru growled and held her wrist with the other hand. she looked him straight int his eyes.
"you will not call me anything of the sort!"
"if you don't call me any name of discrimination."
"fine." and with that he admitted defeat. and she smiled warmly. he liked that look on her.
"it's time for dinner. come." and with that he stood and strode gracefully out her door sure that she will follow him.
so what if she didn't get to take a bath this time as he had commanded her to. she still smelled wonderful. and with a
breath taken in, her scent intoxicated him and made him wonder, if she was as delicious as the way she smelled.
wait! what was he thinking! was he going crazy?! he didn't like where this was going. not one bit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
weeks had passed. he still had not discovered what spell she had put on him. he was getting impatient. and news had
gone that his half brother was looking for her all over. causing all kinds of stirs all over. he was not gonna let him take her.
no. it was not going to happen. she will stay with him... and rin. he almost forgot the other reason why he let her live. it
seems that rin had taken a quick liking of her. it was very predictable. he wouldn't blame her. kagome was a perfectly
respectable person. she seemed perfect enough to be a mother. and yet another thought ran into his mind, would she mind
if she became rin's 'mother'? would it be fine to her if he told her he wanted her to be his? he guessed not. she was pure.
he was evil. nothing like that can ever happen. never. she was too good. he didn't deserve her. and yet he still wanted her.
and it seemed that his craving for her had been getting worse by he minute. he feared that the spell was getting worse. he
had to move fast before that spell completely overtakes him.
that night, he was inside his large library. he was still investigating her spell. but nothing seemed to relate. he was getting
desperate. and frustrated. until he heard kagome walk through the doors in one of the kimono's he had given her. it was
a color of midnight blue and decorated with light pink sakura petals. she was truly mesmerizing.
"ano... sesshumaru-sama... i will go to bed now." she said. she started having that habbit of telling sesshumaru when she
was going to sleep. maybe to keep him assured that she hasn't ran away.
he nodded in response and she bowed and turned. but before she could walk away, she looked over her shoulder to him.
"goodnight..." she whispered. and somehow that had made him smile. the sweetness she naturally gave about everyone
always seemed to enlighten him no matter what problem he possessed. was that the purpose of this potion? to let him feel
such raw emotions for her? to feel enlightened in her presence. to feel the need to have her in his arms. to feel longing and
content all at the same time. to occupy his mind with thoughts all about her? was it actually a spell? was it truly that bad?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
she had become attached to them in only a few weeks. it amazed her greatly. and she didn't mind having sesshumaru as
company. he didn't hurt her. he didn't keep her over-protectively. in short, he treated her like family. and to her that was a
huge correction on what she thought he was. she had thought he was a ruthless, void of emotion killing machine. but he
stayed her ground and found a beautiful man of kindness and mystery and also noble actions. she started to feel like she
was like rin. adoring the lord of the western lands.
everynight, she would come to him. she would inform him that she was going to bed and reassured him where she would be.
but he didn't know that still, everytime she looked at sesshumaru's white hair, he reminded her of him... inu yasha.. the one
that hurt her not so long ago. the one she had loved and loved another. the one who chose kikyo over her. the cause of all
her tears at night. she would collapse on her bed and cry herself to sleep. the darn hanyou wouldn't even look for her or try
to save her. probably because now he had kikyo. but to hell with them! she had rin with her... and also...sesshumaru......
she went to bed. peaceful in her sleep. silent in her mind. aching in her heart. once again that wretched nightmare had
come to plague her mind and heart. that memory... that scene... that heart ache. she whimpered in her sleep loud and cried
flowingly not wanting to open her eyes.... somebody, save her! save her from this horrible nightmare...
'onegai... taskete(faith: i hope i spelled it right. if not then it means help.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he could hear her. she was crying. she was hurting. he couldn't allow that! he wouldn't! he walked to her door hastily. worry
completely seen in his face. he forcefully opened the door. to see her cry in her sleep.
'don't...don't, kagome... onegai...don't cry....' he pleaded silently. he walked to her and sat beside her crying form. he set a
hand on her shoulder. but was shocked when it brought her eyes open and she sat up quickly to face him. he put his
indifferent mask on. kagome still had tears streaming down her face. that was enough to kill him. he was hurting to see her
cry. he didn't care about the spell anymore. he just wanted to comfort her.
she stared at her savior in the eyes. she was grateful. undoubtedly grateful. so grateful she cried helplessly in his arms.
engulfing herself in his warmth. she needed him. he didn't seem to mind.
"are you still involve with him?" he asked. normally shocked, kagome didn't pull back. but stopped her crying. she studied
her answer in her head.
"i'm……… not sure."
"does he still hurt you in your dreams?"
"yes..." after a moment of silence... he asked, "can i stop your pain?"
now she was utterly shocked. she was speechless! but then he pulled back. and cupped her chin to see her face to face. his
nose was almost touching hers.
"can i keep you..." he said in a small whisper...
nothing was said... instead, kagome stared in his eyes. searching for something...
he closed his eyes and moved closer to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. the other still holding her chin up. but she
didn't hesitate. she copied his action... she accepted him. she loved him. no doubt about it. she loved him. and he seemed
to love her back. was this another trick of love? was she going to get hurt again but now by inu-yasha's half brother?
he had kissed her gently. she kissed him back.
the kiss was gentle. loving. wonderful all in all. it was heavenly...
sesshumaru was right, she tasted just as wonderful as she smelled. no! even more wonderful. he was happy. for a really long
period of time he was once again happy. she had accepted him. she was his now. and he was hers. not even inu-yasha can
keep them apart now. not ever. he loved her. he gave in to his feelings. he didn't care about the world anymore. all that
mattered was she was in his arms. he loved her. and that was all that matters...
(faith: hi! how'd everyone like it? i hope you liked it. sorry i didn't put people in fight scenes here. i'm just not good at those
things. anyway, have a wonderful day. I am having an idea for night of healing 2. But I'm not sure if I'm up to it. I guess
time will just tell. 'smiles')
