Chapter 7

"Sesshomaru!"

"Yes Kagome?"

Kagome spun around quickly, her hand over her heart in shock. He had come up from behind her in the stone passageway.

"Don't do that," she said.

He cocked his head slightly and smiled.

"How could you do that to Kikyo!?"

"Do what?"

"Cause the chandelier to fall on her, that's what!"

"Fall on who?"

"Sesshomaru!"

"Yes?"

"Why did you cause the chandelier to fall on Kikyo?"

"When?"

"SESSHOMARU!"

"She was insulting you."

"You can't do that to people!"

"Why not?"

"Because she could have been killed, we're lucky you only broke her leg!"

"She shouldn't have insulted you."

"Sesshomaru, you are not my father......... it is not your responsibility to protect me."

"I will protect you. And it is my responsibility."

"You can't protect me from everything, when I leave this building, you're in here. You can't protect me from this world Sesshomaru! You can't keep me locked up in this building."

"I CAN protect you Kagome."

"No you can't Sesshomaru."

"Kagome, I can protect you!"

"Why.........?"

"Because I ......... care for you and want to protect you."

"You can't leave this building Sesshomaru. You know what could happen........."

"The world of humans despises demons. How could I not know?"

"That's why you can not risk being found!" she said.

"Kagome, I could tear any humans apart easily."

"I know you can, but I don't want to see any life taken by your hands."

"If I promise.........promise not to leave or kill, will you stay here with me? Be with me?" he asked.

She walked up to him and hugged him, his one arm coming around her.

"You are a friend of mine Sesshomaru, and I care not that you are a demon, but my heart belongs to someone else........."

His arm sqeezed her tight before stepping back away from her.

"I must go now," he said. "I have work to get done."

She bowed her head in apology before going up the tunnel and through the mirror.
