Chapter 3: Angel from my nightmare...
Last time: "Why, why me?? WHY ME?!" Kagome sobbed brokenly, her labored breathing interrupted by heart wrenching hiccups and snuffles. Suddenly, she sensed a powerful youkai nearby.
'Great...I won't have to suffer anymore...I can just let it kill me, it's not like anyone will miss me...'
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare, the shadow in the background of the morgue,
"Kagome," Sesshomaru breathed quietly. Said miko lifted her brimming ocean eyes to meet those of the powerful taiyoukai that was standing a good ten feet in front of her.
"Kill me..." she whispered quietly, knowing full well that Sesshomaru's sensitive ears could hear her.
"What? Why do you want to die, pathetic human?" he said to her, a bit harsher that he had intended it to sound. He instantly regretted those words when he saw the look of immense pain and suffering flash through her beautiful eyes, now clouded a darker blue than usual.
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley, we can live like Jack and Sally if we want,
"I—Inuyasha..." was all Kagome could manage to choke out before collapsing into body-wracking sobs once again. She saw a flash of white, and before she could blink again she was wrapped in Sesshomaru's warm embrace.
"W—what are y—you doing?" She said. "Why aren't you killing me?"
"I could never kill you, miko..." Sesshomaru whispered into her ear. There was so much emotion in that small sentence that Kagome was surprised.
"What has my idiot of a brother done to you, Kagome?" he asked. Kagome started sobbing even harder, but managed one small word...
"K—Kikyo!"
A growl issued forth from Sesshomaru, and he swiftly pulled the broken girl into his lap, earning a fearful gasp from Kagome. He hugged her tighter.
"I'll kill him for hurting you, Kagome." His warm breath on her neck made her shiver and she snuggled closer to his well-built chest. She turned her body around to face him, and snaked her arms around his shoulders while crying into the crook of his neck.
"W—what does he see in th—that stupid doll anyway?!?! He said he loved me, Sesshomaru, he said he loved me!" she grabbed fistfuls of his shirt and clung to him like he was the only thing keeping her from collapsing into a puddle of nothingness (a/n okay that was stupid but I couldn't think of anything else!! ...Can nothingness even BE a puddle, I wonder...?)
Sesshomaru merely held her while she cried her heart out and whispered sweet nothings into her ear that seemed to calm her down. The way her breathing slowed down to a low, steady rhythm alerted him to the fact that she had fallen asleep.
'Foolish hanyou...giving up the most precious thing he could ever hope to have...'
He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms, his gaze traveling around her beautiful body and settling on her calm face. He smoothed back a piece of raven-colored hair that had fallen across her cheek. She looked so innocent and beautiful; he could just feel his heart melting already.
'This girl...Kagome, her name is Kagome...she's so strong, innocent, and courageous...do I love her?'
He quickly shook that thought from his mind. 'Miko, what are you doing to me?'
Back at Kaede's village
Inuyasha had been looking for Kagome all afternoon, and couldn't find a single clue as to her whereabouts.
"Hey, old hag!" Inuyasha said, addressing poor old Kaede, "Where's Kagome?"
"Ye mean she's not with ye?"
"If she were, I wouldn't be asking you, now would I?!" Inuyasha huffed.
"Maybe she went home to her own time...ye haven't quarreled recently, have ye?" Kaede asked.
Where are you, and I'm so sorry, I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
"NO!! Now leave me alone, hag!" Inuyasha snapped. He was very concerned;
he had thought he had smelled Kagome near him and Kikyo back at the
Goshinboku, but he couldn't be sure, because his nose was filled with
Kikyo's scent of clay and bones. 'Maybe she DID go back to her time...'
he thought dismally. He gave up his search for the moment, hoping and
praying to any god that would listen that she was safe.
I need somebody and always, this sick strange darkness comes creeping
on so haunting every time
'Should I go get her? Should I just leave her alone? Why would she leave without telling me?' Inuyasha thought mournfully.
And as I stared I counted webs from all the spiders, catching things
and eating their insides, like indecision to call you and hear your voice
of treason, will you come home and stop this pain tonight? Stop this pain
tonight...
Back to Sesshomaru and company
Sesshomaru picked Kagome up bridal-style (yes, he has both arms in this story, cuz I said so!) and summoned his cloud. He then traveled the long distance back to his castle, trying to sort out the many emotions that fogged his brain. Occasionally, he would look down at the miko's sleeping form, and the confusion would start all over again. 'This has got to stop...THAT'S it, when I get home I am SO meditating for a while!' he thought vehemently.
Kagome woke up, feeling the wind whistling by her, making her hair flow all around her face and mix with something silver...and instead of being cold as one should be with that strong of a gust, she was warm, wrapped in something fluffy. Her eyes widened in surprise.
'Ooh fluffy!!' She squealed in her mind, and proceeded to pet the soft fluff. Suddenly, she heard a low rumble that sounded oddly like the purring of a cat, and tensed.
"Oh my..." Kagome choked out nervously. She glanced up at Sesshomaru, only to find his beautiful golden eyes half closed, and a small smile gracing his features. Kagome was very surprised and awed at the fact that he was smiling...actually smiling! It made him even more...well...beautiful than he normally was (which says a lot lol).
'Gods...he should smile more often!' Kagome thought. She silently berated herself for thinking such a thing. 'Snap out of it, girl! Think of Inuyasha! What would he say if he could hear you? ...Do I WANT to think of him? A fresh wave of sorrow swept over her at the memories of her betrayal, and she spared a glance at the youkai lord in whose arms she now resided.
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head...
But it's true... he IS beautiful... said the little voice in her head.
'Oh who asked you?'
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head...
Sesshomaru's warm breath on her neck snapped her out of her inner argument with herself.
"Never...EVER do that again, miko," he said menacingly.
"Eep...s—so sorry L—lord Sesshomaru!" Kagome stuttered. Kagome tried to wriggle away from him, so he set her down but kept a very tight hold on her. As she looked around, she noticed that she was standing on some sort of cloud thing. Squee 'A cloud!! Teehee! Uh-oh... wait...clouds mean sky, sky means...REALLY HIGH I hate heights hatehatehatehate!!!' Kagome panicked and looked down, only to see that they were indeed extremely high in the air.
"AAAAAHHHH!" Kagome screamed and flung her arms around the startled youkai lord's neck and buried her face into the front of his shirt. Sesshomaru's arms wrapped around the poor girl in a comforting embrace, seemingly of their own accord.
"Shhh, its alright...just don't look down if it scares you that much," he said to her in a soothing voice. He felt Kagome relax against him, and from her rhythmic breathing he could tell she had fallen asleep again. This amused him slightly.
'At least she has decency in SOME aspects of her character,' he thought about her "Lord" comment, while looking at her obscenely short skirt.
'New clothing for her will be needed...the way she's dressed now is certainly not appropriate,' He scooped her up again and flew the rest of the way to his castle without any further hindrances.
