Song Gravity from the Wolf's rain soundtrack.
been a long road to follow been there and gone tomorrow
Arkwyn wasn't even aware of the fact that she had fallen asleep in Sesshomaru's arms on the way to the old Miko, but woke up in a soft bed made of fur blankets wondering where she was.
without saying goodbye to yesterday
Arkwyn had to think really hard for a moment about what went on yesterday.
It all happened so fast.
are the memories I hold still valid? or have the tears deluded them?
She sat up slowly in bed, still feeling some pain, but surprisingly much better then yesterday.
Wait, yesterday? How long has she been lying here?
She found a small window on the side of the bed and slowly peered out of it, noticing the rain pouring down and wondering where Sesshomaru was.
Had he gone and left her all alone?
maybe this time tomorrow the rain will cease to follow and the mist will fade into one more today
In a pit of worry she quickly strained herself trying to get out of bed, placing one foot slowly after the other onto the cold floor.
something somewhere out there keeps calling am I going home? will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon? zero gravity what's it like? am I alone?
Arkwyn slowly and carefully stood up, un aware of two yellow/golden orbs watching intently.
She winced as she felt a sudden pain at her side. Still she felt persistent to get up and look around.
is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet still the road keeps on telling me to go on something is pulling me I feel the gravity of it all
"You know, You shouldn't be standing just yet."
She whipped her head around at the voice behind her to the left, covered by the dark shadows forming in the room, giving it somewhat of an apparent look.
How could she of not felt his presence? Or did she.....was it that she wasn't alarmed because she actually felt safe by him being near her?
"How long have I been here for?" she asked as she slowly lowered herself to the bed to lay down again.
"You've been sleeping for two nights and almost all of the third day." He replied slowly, as if he had acted it out a few times first.
"That long? But I thought the wound wasn't that bad?"
"The Miko Shaushinki told me that the demon who hurt you also infected you with some sort of poison. It took her almost the whole night to fix you up."
"Oh," Arkwyn replied, feeling a great thanks to the old lady for saving her. "Where is she now?"
"She is out collecting some more herbs. She told me that If you happen to wake up to give you some of this." Sesshomaru replied as he stood up and reached for a small wooden bowl.
"What is it?" Arkwyn asked, blinking a bit to flutter away the sleepy air that dwelled around her.
"I don't know. It's green. Here." He said putting it in front of her face to drink.
"Is it safe?"
"I guess so."
She nodded with still a bit of hesitation, but brought it to her lips and gulped in a few sips, then quickly wiped her mouth, repeating the word "Yuck."
In the corner of her eye she saw Sesshomaru smile. Not some evil plan or mean smile, a.....sort of nice one. One that caught her attention and made her face him, making him ask,
"What?"
Arkwyn smiled. "It's just," she started to say as she placed the bowl on the floor besides the bide, and pushed a few strands of hair behind her ear. "It's just nice that you're acting this way." "What way?"
"A nice way."
Sesshomaru frowned a bit at this.
"What? What's so wrong with being nice? What is so wrong about caring once in a while?" Arkwyn protested slowly raising herself a little closer to the edge of the bed.
"If I was nice," Sesshomaru started as he suddenly began to head out the door. "If I was nice and cared, then I would put people's lives in danger. Because I'm always followed by danger, and if they were ordinary humans they would die. That is why I stand alone." He finished bitterly, slowly stopping by the door. "That is why you're here now."
Arkwyn's eyes widened, then softened, blinking a few times to try and see the process.
"You.....care...for me?"
"Why would I? Your getting hurt was your own fault, not mine." He said solemnly.
Then it hit her, suddenly jolting her words out like water.
"Your mother died when you were little. Is that true?" She asked raising her face to look at him from her spot on the bed.
"Shut up you weak human! My antipathy for your race will never cease. Walk home for all I care." Sesshomaru replied coldly as he quickly turned around and left, leaving Arkwyn all to her lonesome with only somewhat of an idea of where she was.
"Why does he have to be so mean?" she said aloud slowly, small cold tear drops falling lightly on the blanket in front of her.
Suddenly Arkwyn felt the urge to just get up and run, go somewhere. Anywhere but stay here.
With much effort and hard work she managed to find her way out of the small nature house and out into the tall grass and cool skies of night.
(Whew! Long chapter. )
