Miaka awoke with a soft moan and rolled onto her side
Only to be pushed onto her back once more
"Owww....thanks" she mumbled as she squinted up to see Tamahome's worried face peering down worriedly at her, his hair plastered to his forehead
"Are you okay???" he asked softly as he helped her up to lean against the tree
"You fell from a tree"
"I fell from a tree?!?! Wow...I never knew I climbed trees"
"You mean you don't remember?!?!" asked Tamahome, shock thick in his voice
Miaka shook her head
"Well...no....not really...wait...oh yeah!!! I remember now!!!" she grinned sheepishly at him
"I'm sorry about the blood and all"
Tamahome shrugged
"It was no problem; I just went down to the river and washed my hair, neck and face before your blood dried up, I also had to wash my shirt too"
Miaka blushed as she thought of a shirtless Tamahome
'Oh...Bad thoughts...BAD thoughts...'
"Hey are you okay...?" Tamahome asked curiously as he stared at Miaka's red face and placed a cool hand on her fore head
Miaka jumped at his sudden touch and realized they were only a few inches apart
This only made her blush deeper
"Nope, it doesn't seem like you have a fever" he muttered, frowning as he placed his other hand on his own forehead
Miaka shrank back and hunched into the tree trunk, only too aware of his bare chest
'Oh my god...what's gotten into you Miaka???' she thought as she looked away from Tamahome
Tamahome frowned deeper
"Is something wrong???" he asked softly
"Of course not!!! Ahahahah!!! Why should there be???" replied Miaka as she laughed nervously
"Oh..."
Miaka and Tamahome directed their gaze to the small river below them, both of them caught up in the peace and quiet of the scenery
"We should be getting back" muttered Tamahome
"Aww...must we???" said Miaka as she turned to look at Tamahome
"Yes, we do" replied Tamahome as he stared back at her
"But I like it here..." she whined, switching to puppy eyes
Tamahome laughed
"Aahahahah...no"
Miaka's face fell
Then it brightened
"Fine, if you take me back then I wont tell you all about my past" she said, grinning like a Cheshire cat
Tamahome frowned
"That's not fair though, you're threatening me"
Miaka shrugged an apology
"Sorry but desperate times call for desperate measures"
Tamahome shook his head and sighed
"Fine, you can tell your life story right here"
"Really?!?!?! Thanks, I like it here"
Tamahome lay onto his back on the soft grass, giving Miaka his full attention
Miaka leant back against the trunk and took a deep breath
"Okay when I was first born..."
1 hours later...
"...it was my birthday at that time, so we caught a train-"
"What's a train???"
"Well....a train is a..."
2 hours later...
"...sensei made me fight him for the first time, I was so happy..."
1 hour later...
"..."
"So what happened after the sword was given to you???" asked Tamahome sleepily
"......zzzzzzzz"
Tamahome opened his half closed to stare at a sleeping Miaka, her face relaxed peacefully
He smiled to himself and sat up to stretch his back
"Ahh..."
Tamahome picked himself off the ground and placed his now dry shirt back on
He cautiously bent down to pick up Miaka, stiffening slightly as her fingers held his clothes in her hands
He relaxed again and walked out from under the willow tree to follow the road back into the sunset
Miaka slowly woke up to the small steady bumping; stiffening as she realized someone was carrying her
The light was dimming rapidly but she could just make out the faint outline of Tamahome's shape
She relaxed and smiled
With a tiny yawn she released her grip on his clothes and snuggled against his chest, seeking for warmth
She trusted him to protect her and keep her safe
'To protect me...'
Those words sounded so strange to her
Never has she felt so protected or so safe
But the one thing that surprised her was the thought that she could trust him
She trusted nobody but her family and Yui and here she trusted a stranger she barely knew
No
She couldn't trust him
Not yet
"But then...why do I feel so connected to him...???"
she whispered softly to herself
With those confusing thoughts in her mind, Miaka fell back asleep again
Tamahome looked down as he felt Miaka nuzzle his shirt, seeking for warmth
He smiled
He didn't trust her completely yet and he had every reason not to
She could really just be a crazed maniac
'But she wears different clothes' argued a small part of him
Tamahome shook his head
He would have to wait and see
He couldn't trust her completely, not yet
"But then why do I feel like I'm somehow bonded to her...???" he whispered quietly to himself
He didn't know why
And neither did Miaka
