Mornings went on and Arkwyn didn't feel sick anymore. Still, there was
something she knew coming one day. One day that seemed overly far away.
Here it was, the night before they would journey out into the woods, their lives at stake at any given moment.
small groups scattered on the campsite not too far away from the woods, Guards watching at every corner.
Arkwyn stood thinking deeply in front of Sesshomaru and her tent, Watching bright star filled sky beam down at her, Remembering the last time she had taken a moment to truly watch the night sky. It was the night she awoke at the healing lady's house when her and Sesshomaru had a fight.
That all seemed so far away, The castle now, and...her home. They too were all far away.
As much as she loved the customs and ways of life here, she still missed her old life.
Sesshomaru stepped out of the tent, noting the serious presence that stalked Arkwyn.
Before he could ask her anything she spoke up, her voice serious but slightly sad.
"I think, if we make it through this, When we make it through this battle, I want to go home. Not to the castle, but to my home. I'm sorry." She finished, turning to see his expression.
"You are going to leave me?" Sesshomaru asked, his expression blank, but hints of sadness still peaking through.
That look that told Arkwyn even though he had more demon power, he still had a human heart, and could look at things with a human face. Still appear to her as human.
"Of course not!" she said, her words jumping at him. "When I go, I want to take you with me. I've lived in your sort of time for a while now, and I want you to live with me in mine. We can still visit the castle, I just....." Arkwyn trailed off.
"Miss home." Sesshomaru finished her, feeling better now that he understood the situation.
Arkwyn nodded and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru, laying her head on his shoulder, and trying not to think of all the bad things ahead of them.
"Wherever we go, Whatever we do, we will always be together. I promise to never leave your side." Sesshomaru said, resting his chin on top of her head. At least he hoped in his heart to never leave her.
"I promise too." She replied, pushing up against him closer as she felt a wave of security surrounding her.
From a distance a few guards watched with pleased smiles.
"Told ya love was in the air." One guard said to the others.
"For heavens sake! It's not spring anymore, it's February." One other guard replied to the first one.
"Yeah, but three months till spring."
"They are already married you goof!"
The guards had a few laughs while they talked more about Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Arkwyn, that is, until suddenly one of the guards cried out in pain and fell to the floor, blood spilling out in a small pool beneath them.
"Hey!!!! We need help! One of the guards has fallen dead!" Some other guards yelled from up the hill to where Sesshomaru, Arkwyn, and more guards were standing listening.
(Hey everyone, Sorry this chapter is short. And I apologize for my last couple chapters. What with the two new stories I'm working on, I felt I needed to rush this story up a bit to get it closer to it's ending point. Yes, Soon it will end. Hope you all enjoyed my story!
Thanks, Misskaogme.)
