Chapter 4: Surprising Feelings
Kagome pressed herself hard against the door. A smile caressed her lips as she replayed their eyes locking. Thinking about it made her heart flutter with overexcitement. Kagome's hands, tight in fists, were already perspiring. Rounding the corner of the bathroom Nagako looked upon the love struck girl.
"Is everything alright Lady Kagome," Nagako asked putting some dirty clothes in a basket.
"Hai," Kagome said with her voice full of lust.
"Well I drew you another bath and laid your dress out beside it. Dinner will be ready in an hour," Nagako said, "are you sure you're ok?"
Kagome ran to Nagako and gave her a tight hug.
"Oh Nagako what do I do? I know I like him or at least I think I do but does he like me, or could he ever like me? I mean he has to like me if he saved me but not in the way I like him. Right?" Kagome babbled pulling away from Nagako's arms.
"Child what ever is the matter," Nagako said smiling as she put a hand to the side of Kagome's face and pulled her towards the bed.
"I.I kind of." Kagome said fumbling with her hands as she sat down next to Nagako.
"Do you.feel something for milord," Nagako guessed seeing a large smile spread across Kagome's face as she turned a different shade of red.
"I don't know. My heart feels funny whenever I'm with him, not quite like heartbreak but more like heartache," Kagome said looking up into Nagako's warm brown eyes.
Nagako gave a slight giggle as she looked down at the blushing Kagome.
"What," Kagome asked smiling back.
"Don't you see? You're in love little one," Nagako said.
"Me? Don't be silly, I can't be in LOVE," Kagome said blushing deeper.
"Oh but you are, I know it all too well myself," Nagako said pulling a strand of hair behind Kagome's ear.
"But." Kagome started but found no words.
"Why don't you go get ready for dinner, you do want to impress milord," Nagako said.
A smile lit up Kagome's face as she quickly hugged Nagako and ran into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.
Nagako's waited until she heard the water from the bath splashing to get back to work. Worried thoughts about their plan not going as well as they thought it would filled her head. 'This isn't good, if Sesshoumaru loves her as well, all our hard planning will be lost,' Nagako thought to herself. 'I must tell my master quickly. But first see if Sesshoumaru feels the same,' Nagako said as she picked up the basket of dirty clothes and hurried out the door.
~~~~~~~~Sesshoumaru stared at himself in his mirror. "Why is it that I feel as though I need to look nice tonight," Sesshoumaru asked allowed even though no one else was in the room.
A petite knock came from his door.
"Enter," Sesshoumaru said turning to see who it was. Sesshoumaru watched as Nagako entered the room.
"Sorry milord," Nagako said bowing for having disturbed him.
Sesshoumaru sighed as she watched her he had hoped it would have been someone else. Turning back to the mirror he stared at his solemn expression and tried smiling. Rolling his eyes he put his face in his hands and grunted in discontent.
"Everything all right milord," Nagako said walking to the door with more dirty clothes in the basket.
Sesshoumaru looked up from his hands to the reflection of Nagako, an idea jumped into his head.
"Nagako you're a woman, right," Sesshoumaru asked. "Last time I checked milord," Nagako said.
"Don't be pert," Sesshoumaru said.
"Yes milord," Nagako said.
"I can't believe I'm going to ask a human this but could you help me look." Sesshoumaru said.
"Look." Nagako asked.
"Look.nice tonight," Sesshoumaru asked being bold.
"I'll try milord," Nagako said putting down the basket and closing the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~The table was set for two, the lighting dim, and the air pleasing with the sweat aroma of food. A roast sat in the middle of the table surrounded by mashed potatoes, carrots, tea, and china. The chairs sat empty waiting for their masters to sit in them.
Kagome peeked her head in slowly at first, looking around the room to see if anyone was there. Seeing no one in the room she entered slowly. Her hair bounced as she moved towards the fire. Kirara ran from Kagome's feet to her chair, curling up into a ball to keep the seat warm for her master. Reaching the fire Kagome looked into the burning flames. Memorized by how the flames moved she didn't even notice the door open.
"Kagome," Sesshoumaru said in a deep voice as he walked slowly up from behind her.
Kagome looked up from the fire, startled by the sound of his voice. Spinning around to face him she said, "Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru looked Kagome over slowly and carefully. She wore the sister to the black dress she had worn the night before. The silk dress was a deep blood red that accentuated her ebony hair and dark brown eyes. Black flowers were embroidered into the fabric equivalent to the black dress, which had red flowers. Her hair fell down onto her shoulders in wavy locks. Her sweet smell intoxicated the room, making Sesshoumaru Sluggish.
Kagome looked Sesshoumaru up and down quickly so not to be caught checking him out (does anyone think that sounds a little weird?!?!). He wore the same Kimono as he always wore, white with red designs embroidered into it. His hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, which made his features seem stronger.
"You look nice," Kagome said giving him a warm smile.
"Arigato," Sesshoumaru said. 'That's exactly what I wanted you to think,' he thought
"Shall we eat," Sesshoumaru said walking to his chair.
"Hai," Kagome said half expecting for him to say something nice back.
Kagome's heart pounded rapidly in her chest as Sesshoumaru brushed against her. Reaching the chair, Kirara jumped into Kagome's arms as she went to sit down. Once both were seated servants came out of the side doors that were adjacent to the fire and began to serve their dinner.
~~~~~~~~~Nagako paced nervously back and forth in her room before finally sitting down at a desk. 'Since there is now way of me living the castle, then I must write him a letter,' Nagako thought to herself. Pulling a piece of parchment and a quill from one of the many drawers Nagako began to write.
She must have gone through five copies before her hand finally stopped shaking. Exhaling deeply Nagako looked over her finished copy.
Master,
We have a problem; the girl kagome has undoubtedly fallen in love with Lord Sesshoumaru. What is worse is that I think he feels the same for her. Though I think it's the girl's appearance to Kikyou that has made unwanted feelings arise. Should we stop with the plan? Though. we could kill the wench again, it has been done before as you well remember. But that plan however was easy this new situation is uncertainly a challenge, what with all the protections he has on her, her death will be hard to come by. What should we do?
Your faithful servant,
Nagako
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sesshoumaru walked Kagome slowly back to her room. 'I wish that there was some way for me to tell her, just some way,' Sesshoumaru thought to himself as they stopped at the door. Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome.
"Good night milord," said Kagome as she turned to open the door.
Walking in to the room Kagome was stopped by a firm hand holding her own. Turning she looked into Sesshoumaru's bright eyes. "I.I just wanted to wish you goodnight," Sesshoumaru said disappointed in himself for being so weak and not telling her then and there.
Kagome gave a small smile. She could feel her checks turning red under his hot touch.
"Well good night," She said as Sesshoumaru let go of her reluctantly.
