CHAPTER TWO Sesshoumaru opened his eyes, to see two ocean blue eyes staring back at him. The sleepiness was gone from his eyes. The woman smiled at him. 'A woman smiled at me?' He though. Nobody has ever done that before. Even female youkais were afraid of him. But her smile. It was kind and soft, offered only to him. He suddenly remembered who this woman was and tried to get up. His body was sore and in pain. Two soft hands pushed his down on his shoulders.
He felt weak under her touch. "Don't move or our wounds will open. I tended on you. You were asleep for a week. Your body is still recovering from the pain they have inflicted.Rest." She said quietly. She smiled softly, but there was pity in her eyes. Her eyes traveled to his messy hair. She frowned and then smiled brightly.
"I'll tend to your hair for now. You can't take a bath until you wounds heal." She said. Sesshoumaru followed her with his eyes. She was graceful. Unlike other humans, she had a soft scent of cocoa butter. She did not smell disgusting but fragrant. It was almost enticing. He closed his eyes as he felt the mattress which he laid fall a bit. She was light too. He enjoyed the way the brush felt on his hair.
Her hands were light as it smoothes his hair. She looked at it softly. There was a smile on her full lips. He was almost tempted to feel her lips with his hand.
But his whole body ached. He again closed his eyes and slept.
Kagome continued to brush his hair. He seemed dormant and she smiled. He needs rest. She thought. When she had first tended to him, Atasuke had helped her, for she cringed at the sight of his heavy wounds. Atasuke has left for Mexico with his father. They had a meeting there for 3 weeks.
They both had asked for leave from school. Because they were top students, it was easy to get the approval from their professors. She looked at the peaceful sight of Sesshoumaru.
Flash back "His name is Sesshoumaru." Atasuke said to her, as they both stared at the sleeping youkai lord. "It is said that he once did rule the Western Lands and had a half-brother name Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha was a hanyou and therefore, they had hated each other." Atasuke continued. Kagome merely nodded, absorbing all the data. "I pity Sesshoumaru. He doesn't deserve this." She said. Atasuke embraced her and kissed her hair. "Me too. For now, let him rest. "He said softly. Kagome blinked and they both went outside. End of flashback
She noticed that a small wound on his shoulder was bleeding again. She sighed and went to her desk to get some bandage. She replaced it silently, after putting some ointment on it. Sesshoumaru had cringed, but she calmed him, caressing his shoulder blades. He began to relax again.
She smiled and began to leave him at peace. She opened the door. "Arigato." He muttered. Kagome was surprised, yet she smiled all the same. "You're very welcome." She said as she closed the door.
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes and blinked. It had been 3 days since he first opened his eyes. Kagome had taken special care of him. He was recovering quickly. He sighed. Kagome. He only had to close his eyes to see her smile at him. Her ocean blue eyes were beautiful and so was the rest of her.
He had now grown accustomed of her. She fed him 3 meals a day.
He was not as thin as before. He felt stronger and his fading powers were slowly returning. But he doubted if it will ever return to normal. He had grown so weak. Suddenly, a light tapped on the door made him return to the real world.
Kagome popped her beautiful head. She grinned. "Hey. How are you?" This was her daily greeting to him. He nodded. She opened the door completely, exposing the tray of food she brought for him. He sat up from his bed. He tried two days ago to feed himself, but it was no use. Kagome was the one that feeds him. And he never complained. She set the tray to his lap and sat beside him. She cut the meat and spooned some rice with it. "Open up." She chirped. Sesshoumaru blinked and opened his mouth. Kagome fed him. She smiled.
"It's good that you're recovering quickly. I'm really sorry for what they have done to you. I never realized they would hurt you like that." She said apologetically. "It was not you're fault." He said monotonously. Kagome almost jumped in surprised. He had never talked to her, after he had thanked her. She nodded and smiled. "I know, but I can't help feeling sorry for you. You don't deserve to be treated like that." She said quietly, giving him another bite. He chewed on the food and gulped. "It is my fate. Even I cannot help it." He said again. Kagome looked at him blankly. She took his hand, which had no claws for he was too weak to take them out nor did he want to. She gave it a squeezed it affectionately.
Sesshoumaru was surprised at her bold actions, but he did not show it. "Don't be so hard on yourself. Everything will turn out okay. Just be, pessimistic." She advised. Sesshoumaru did not respond.
He just concentrated on his hand. The feeling of Kagome's soft hand made him almost melt. When they finished, he looked at kagome, who was gazing intently on him. He allowed a looked of confusion on his face. Still, no answer. She reached out her hand on his cheek. He was taken aback by this, as her thumb reached the corner of his mouth and she brushed it softly. She then smiled at him. "You had a stain." She said. She took the napkin from the table beside the bed and wiped his mouth with it. He was now clean. Still, his heart skip a beat. He thought. What a fool he was. To think that Kagome would have any feelings for him like that. No, never would that happen. When he was done eating, she stood up, smiled at him, and left. Leaving Sesshoumaru to dwell with his thoughts.
Kagome took the elevator to the fifth floor where her room was. She took a left and a right and swiped the card key on the automatic lock of her room. The wireless phone was blinking. She took it and spoke. "Higurashi Kagome speaking." She said. A nervous voice of a young woman answered. "L-lady Kagome, Sir. Atasuke is calling you." She said. "Thank you." She said. The phone beeped and she put the phone down. Atasuke's voice was heard. "Hey, love. How are you?" His voice was sweet and caring. Kagome smiled. "Great! How is your business trip going?" She asked. She heard him sigh. "It's okay I guess. And how is your guess?" He was talking of Sesshoumaru, obviously. "He's recovering quickly. It's amazing; his deep wounds are now just scratches!" She said in awe. Atasuke chuckled softly. "Good for him. Anyway, I'm here to tell you, I've been suspended here for another 3 weeks. I'm sorry." He said apologetically. Somehow, Kagome was not very affected by this. "It's okay, I understand." She said. "Love you." Atasuke said. "Ditto." She replied and they hung up.
Atasuke sighed. No, he didn't have the heart to tell Kagome he had met somebody in Mexico. She was also Japanese and was only touring here. She looked a lot like Kagome, but she was more. Exciting. He shook his head. 'This is just a little fling. You just miss Kagome and because this woman looks like here, you hang out.' He desperately tired to convince himself. He would not let their relationship end (his and Kagome's). He would not let this Kikyou ruin it. Yet, he felt feelings for her too. But he loved Kagome deeply and respected her. He would not break her trust. Kagome laughed over the phone. She had been talking to Sango. She had been talking about her fiancée, Miroku and his antics. "He really did that? What did you do?" Kagome asked. "Slapped him at the back of his head. As if he could get away with that. Geez Kagome! He doesn't even realize that he had a fiancé! He needs to stop that or I'll break with him!" Sango wailed. Kagome giggled. "Okay, I'll talk to Miroku. I'll tell him to stop this nonsense of his, okay?" Kagome said soothingly. Sango sighed. She grinned. It was a sign that Sango would let her take over. "Okay, Kagome, I'll take your word." Sango said. "Great, bye-bye and take care!" Kagome said and hang up.
The next day, Kagome knocked at Sesshoumaru's door and opened it, sliding in a tray of food. She gasped as she saw Sesshoumaru, arms crossed over his broad and (dare I say) muscular chest. He was standing near the window, inches away from it, looking at the sky. His silver-white hair had been a little tangled but nevertheless, it looked beautiful. Kagome blushed. Sesshoumaru turned to look at her. "Wow, you recovered quite quickly. I guess you don't need me to feed you." She said softly. She set the tray near the small table and turned to leave. "Stay." Kagome stopped. It was almost faint and can't be heard. She shrugged. "Okay. Um, do you know how to use a fork and spoon?" She asked cautiously. Sesshoumaru shook his head slowly. Kagome sighed and smiled up at him. "Okay, I'll teach you how." She reached for both his hands. Sesshoumaru was surprised, but nevertheless, let her. On his right hand, she enclosed a spoon on the left, a fork. She showed him how to handle them and scoop the food. After fifteen minutes, Sesshoumaru could do it on his own. Kagome smiled. "It's a good thing you're a fast learner. Normal people couldn't do that for a day or so." She said. Sesshoumaru was flattered that he was praised, but didn't show it. "Where is your lifemate?" He asked softly. Kagome looked at him confusedly for a while and began to blush. "Oh, Atasuke. Well, I don't think you can call him my lifemate for we aren't engaged. He's at Mexico; a faraway place." She said. "Why is he there?" He asked. Kagome smiled. "To attend a business."
A/N: Done at last! I'm sorry, if it's a little ooc, but I promise that the next chapters will be better! Please continue reviewing! No flames! I need at least 10 to continue. Helpful criticism is always appreciated! Tell me how I can improve Sesshoumaru's behavior to fit his real personality! Once again, domo arigatou! ^_^
