Going Under
One and One
I sighed while walking down the trail. Truth to be told, those birds were getting on my nerves. The constant twittering echoed in my ears. I mean, it was an enjoyable song but after awhile you wanted to hear something else, you know? I focused my senses and picked up the sounds of laughter. I felt a smile creep up on my face. I heard the ramblings of another about how they sound leave the girl behind. I pushed the smile off but kept a smirk.
I crept closer and spotted him. Sesshomaru. He could help me.
He seemed to sense my presence as he turned around and commanded the girl behind him. When she saw me she shrieked and quickly grabbed hold of his pant leg. I smiled letting a small laugh out.
"Yes?"
I looked up to him. His glance switched down to my hand which clutched the red jewel tightly.
"What is that?" he asked in his as-always calm tone. I rose my hand holding it out.
"I need a favor, but I'm afraid I have nothing to offer in return." I bit my lip holding my breathe in my throat. He took another glance at it.
"It is my heart, which Naraku used to manipulate me."
His head lifted but I could sense his surprise. "You're free?" I nodded my head letting the smirk come back.
"Demo, I'm not one. My heart is here but I cannot hear it. I'm incomplete. I need you to use Tenseiga to pull it back to me."
He glanced at me a moment before turning around. I could tell he was debating on it.
"Jaken, take Rin to play," I heard the toad curse at Sesshomaru under his breathe and saw him glaring. Once they were gone Sesshomaru turned back to me. He held out his hand and I placed the ball into it. He brought it close to his face fumbling with it between his fingers.
"Why would you be so trustful?" he asked softly. Before I could answer I saw his hand clench around the ball. I felt my pale skin go white as I gasped and fell to my knees. I felt like I couldn't think, all I knew was pain. I let out a shrill scream before he threw it into the air and caught it mercilessly with gentleness.
"Bastard..." I panted out trying to stand.
"Answer my question."
I tried to sit up again but fell down as he clutched the ball tighter.
"Why did you put so much trust into me by giving me your heart? I could order you do to anything I pleased."
This couldn't be Sesshomaru; he doesn't get people to do his bidding! "Answer me!"
"I-I knew you had Tenseiga!" I finally screamed out. "All I ever wanted was to be free! You know that! You're the only one who knows that! I've only told you, I want to be free! Please!"
I didn't see his throw the ball back up and draw his sword. All I saw was a flash of blue light and a feeling deep inside. I began to hear a thumping noise in my ears as my blood raced. It slowed and I set my hand against my chest.
"You lie."
"What?" I sat up slowly looking at him. He knelt down in front of me. "I can smell wolf all over you."
I felt a sudden blush creep but pulled it away before he noticed. "That bag of shit? Heh, he was trying to kill me. It was more like a struggle."
I felt angry when he smirked. I wasn't sure, it looked cocky, but it could be a smile. I don't really know how to tell the difference. I never felt anything for anyone except hatred and pity.
I found myself glaring at him. I don't know how I started it, but we just ended up in a stare down. He was staring at my scarlet eyes, and I at his amber ones. It amazed me at how enticing they could be. I felt the thumping come back in my chest like when Kouga held me. What exactly was this? I knew blushes came from embarrassment, but was there more? I feel so naive...
I suddenly felt lost and all I could see was the beautiful amber hue. I took in a sharp breathe when I felt a hand gently take my arm pulling me forward. I realized I was leaning against his chest, and the thumping in my chest grew more.
"Se-Se..." I couldn't speak. It felt like a large lump had taken place in my throat. What in the seven hells was going on?
Just as quickly as I was pulled into the embrace he released me, stood, and started to walk away.
"Don't give up."
That was all he said.
