Readers~AWE!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rin was staring at the empty plate in front of her. Where was everybody? Milika had been gone for 10 minutes. She slowly got up from her chair. "Milika!! Where did you go?" Rin ran down the hallway. She then saw Milika and Sesshoumaru together in Milika's room. Rin grinned slyly.
"Milika, what were you doing with Sesshoumaru, was Mommy Milika and Sesshoumaru..."
Milika had to stop Rin, "Rin are you done with supper?"
"Yep"
Sesshoumaru slowly stood up. "Then we can leave."
Milika looked at Sesshoumaru, what was this guy's deal? One moment he can be caring soul then all of a sudden he does a one eighty.
"Sesshoumaru, you can stay the night. I mean it is almost dark and I think Rin is tired."Milika looked at Rin.
"No, Rin not tired but Rin want to stay with Milika!!" Rin jumped into Milika's lap and hugged her tightly. She gave Sesshoumaru a pouted look.
Sesshoumaru did not know what to do. He wanted to get out of this place but Rin wouldn't come. Now he didn't know what to think of Milika. She kissed him! But only because he comforted her while she was crying. She didn't like him or anything like that. Did she? "WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME! I LOVING A HUMAN? That is not possible, besides she is just here for Rin's sake. Yes, that is what she is, Rin's watcher."
"Sesshoumaru, if you don't want to stay you don't have to. I just thought..." Milika really wanted them to stay. She hopefully can maybe even convince Sesshoumaru to let her go back with them to that place.
Sesshoumaru looked at Milika and Rin, and gruffed out, " I guess just for.."
Rin's frown went straight to a smile. "Oh Sesshoumaru! You will have fun!" She jumped from Milika's lap and wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's legs. He gave her a small pat on the head.
Rin looked back at Milika, "Can we have a slumber party? I saw one on the T.V. thing and it looked fun!"
Milika giggled, "Sure why not. So Rin, you want to do manicures and everything like that?"
"Don't forget about doing Rin's hair!" She looked up at Sesshoumaru, "Rin and Milika can do Sessshoumaru-sama's hair."
"I don't think Sesshoumaru would like that very much Rin. He can just watch. So Rin let us get our pj's on!"
"But Rin doesn't have any....pj's?"
"Not to worry, I have plenty that are about your size."
Sesshoumaru looked at Milika, "I will be out there." He headed out to the living room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Milika looked down at sleeping Rin. She was plum tuckered out. Rin had managed to do Milika's hair in braids and Milika had put Rin's hair in curler's. After that she did Rin's nails and then right now Rin was watching a movie before she fell asleep, head in Milika's lap.
Sesshoumaru looked at the two girls sitting on the couch while he himself was sitting in an armchair. He had been quite amused as the two tried to catch him to do his hair, but after a while it got old and he convince Rin to do Milika's hair and not his.
Milika meet his glance. "I'm glad you decided to stay." She gave him a big smile.
Sesshoumaru just stared there, with his thoughts somewhere else...
"Sesshoumaru? What is the matter?" Milika's look changed to concern.
He glanced at her with his usual, cold, hard stare, " You, a human wouldn't understand.."
Milika started to question him, "What is it that I, a human wouldn't understand?"
Sesshoumaru became quite annoyed with Milika, his patience wearing thin.
Milika looked straight at Sesshoumaru, "I really want to know, we can maybe talk." She ended her saying with a small grin.
Sesshoumaru had enough of this girl, poking into his personal space. A demonic growl rumbled in his throat. "Will you stop the smiling, it is quite an annoyance, and next time, I might not take it as well."
"Sorry." Milika quicky covered her smiled. "Gosh, what was with him. I mean didn't he comfort me, and I kissed him too. What is his deal. It seems every time you try to get close to him he kind of shoves you away."
"I guess I will go to bed now" Milika clicked the T.V. off and slowly lifted Rin up, and started to head down the hall to her room. She stopped and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Hold back the tears Milika, don't be a crybaby."
"You don't have to be so mean like that." She quickly turned around as the tears started to come, silently this time and shut her bedroom door behind her.
Sesshoumaru saw the tears coming from Milika's eyes as she left. "That human cries and smiles constantly. Why did I even comfort her in the first place? Don't tell me that I also inherited father's compassion for humans too? I am going home now with or without Rin. Why do I need her as well?"
As Sesshoumaru opened the door he heard a soft noise coming from inside the house. He opened the door a crack but quickly shut it. "What is the noise?" He quietly stepped through the hall to Milika's bedroom door. He stood outside and listen with his sharp canine like ears.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After Milika laid Rin down in her bed, she also laid down and tried to sleep, but still her hurt tears kept coming which woke up a startled Rin.
"What wrong Milika?"
Milika looked at Rin through her misty eyes. "Nothing it is just Sesshoumaru...you should go back to bed it is late."
Rin sleepily, rubbed her eyes and said, "I can't."
Milika gently picked up Rin and cradled her as best she could. "Rin is it alright if I sing you to sleep?"
"Uh huh.. That okay." Rin started to get sleepy again.
Milika begin to quietly sing her favorite lullaby her mother use to sing.
"May I always be there,
for you every step you take.
You might not see me,
but listen to the wind,
and you will hear me speak.
I may not always see,
eye to eye,
but our hearts will always feel,
heart to heart,
for you and me are together,
forever as,
one."
Sesshoumaru listened to Milika's voice overtook his ears. He could hear nothing else but that song she sang. He started to have that feeling again, the one when he and Milika were hugging. Then his conscience kicked in, "Why did you treat her like that? What she ever do to you? All she has done is try to saved Rin's life. Why are you doing this?"
Milika slowly heard the door open behind her. She slowly put Rin down on the bed and turned around to find Sesshoumaru.
Milika turned back around and quietly whispered, not to wake Rin up, "Sorry, if I woke you up, I was trying to get Rin back to sleep. Well, got to go to bed I got stuff to do tomorrow." She wrapped her robe she wore tighter around her shoulders prepared for what Sesshoumaru might say.
Sesshoumaru saw Milika shaking with fear. " Did I do that? I scared her that much with just saying that?"
"Milika, I'm sorry if I scared you, that is just my nature I'm a demon. Gods did I say that?"
Milika refused to turn around and looked at him. She got up all her courage and said,
"So you mean it is your nature to go around threatening people, I don't know why I even lik...." Milika stopped her self.
Sesshoumaru was shocked. Did Milika almost say she liked him? No one ever said that to him before. Of course there was Rin but Rin looked up to him but does Milika like him maybe even dare he say, loved him?
Milika kept her stare on the wall in front of her. She didn't care anymore. Sesshoumaru probably was plotting how to kill her right now, she thought.
Sesshoumaru still saw Milika quaking in her robe. He had to put an end to this.
"Your voice, was beautiful. I never heard anything that beautiful before."
Milika stopped shaking. He said that? Milika never heard anyone say that about her voice like he had before. She felt his hand on her shoulder. It was a nice firm grip, she started to get a funny feeling in her gut.
He turned her harshly around almost scaring Milika. Then they looked at each other face to face almost seemed to be trapped in each other's gaze. Milika looked in Sesshoumaru's golden eyes. She could see almost into his soul. All the pain and anguish. The loneliness and guilt. The sorrow and joy. Milika was totally trapped into his hypnotic gaze.
Sesshoumaru looked into Milika's sea blue eyes that seem to tell a million things. All the sadness and rejection. The caring and thoughtfulness. The love. Sesshoumaru never ever thought anyone could feel like this. This feeling that everything was alright. Nothing mattered except them.
Sesshoumaru slowly stroke Milika's cheek. Milika felt her whole body go numb. She still had her eyes caught in his gaze. She rubbed her cheek lightly on his hand. He leaned down close to her ear and quietly whispered, "I may not always see eye to eye, but our hearts will always feel,
heart to heart."
Milika quietly whispered, "Sesshoumaru..."And a small tear trickled from her eye. "I'm scared, I never felt like this before."
"Don't be scared,." He leaned into her until they were almost nose to nose. "I am with you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha quietly got up from his sleeping place on the floor. Why did he keep smelling Sesshoumaru? He had to be here. At first Inuyasha thought it was just those two girls who were around Sesshoumaru but now he wasn't sure anymore.
He walked quietly to the open window. A small wind swept through carrying a strong scent of Sesshoumaru. He quickly slipped through the window to follow it. It lead right to that girl's house. "What is he doing there? He must have those two wrapped around his finger doing whatever he wants. Why is he like that?"
Then Inuyasha started to remember all the things Sesshoumaru had ever said to him. How he insulted him, degraded him, treated him like dirt, and how he always talked about compassion being a weakness. He could just....Then Inuyasha, started to lose himself in the hatred for he had for his brother. Inuyasha tried to hold his demon self back but the anger was overpowering and his eyes glowed a hatred red and the strips started to graze his cheeks once more. He then bounded off following the stench, to the house to finally rid himself of his brother.
~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Milika felt his warm hand upon her cheek. She leaned close to him and he embraced her with his arm. Sesshoumaru put his face in her hair. The scent in her hair was almost intoxicating.
Suddenly, a youkai's scent overtook Milika's. Sesshoumaru took his face out of Milika's hair and looked out the window. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop was his brother, Inuyasha, but he was in his demon state. Sesshoumaru let go of Milika while Milika also looked out the window.
"Darn it, did he almost kiss me....hey what is that?"
She saw the same guy Inuyasha, as before, but he seemed different than from before. Sesshoumaru looked Milika in the eye. "Milika, take Rin and go to the well. Inuyasha needs to be stopped before he kills, he is not himself in this state and will kill anything that gets in his way. NOW GO!", he growled.
That woke Rin up. She was still a little sleepy and didn't know exactly what was going on.
"Sesshoumaru-sama..what is happening?"
Milika quickly picked up Rin still in curlers from her bed.
"Rin, we need to go, there is trouble."
She wrapped her up in her robe and turned to Sesshoumaru, "Be..." Sesshoumaru stopped her. "GO!" He didn't want them to get hurt. With that Milika ran out to the back door. She turned around to look at Sesshoumaru calmly going to face Inuyasha. He looked back her standing still staring at him.
Milika almost felt him say through his eyes, "Don't worry, I'll be okay." With that Milika made her way to the shrine to the well.
