A/n~ Gomen nasi, I haven't been able update oh......in like a week or two. I AM SO SORRY! *gets on knees* Just stick with me people! This story will still be going, and since summer vacation is almost here...I WILL BE WRITING LIKE THE DICKENS!
Let me see, I have caused you guys almost a week of sleepless nights. ^.^6 Sorry.
Just to warn you, this is a short little chapter, I am still in the process of writing the next one, I PROMISE THAT WILL BE A LONG ONE!
*To see my disclaimer, look at previous chapters* (I am sooooo tired of that.)
Last chapter~ Sesshoumaru lost himself to his darker side and almost...did something "not too nice" to Milika, and HE LEFT! (DARN HIM)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sesshoumaru! DON'T LEAVE!" Milika shouted as she shoot straight up from her bed. She looked down at a sleeping Rin next to her, not even stirring from her dreams. Milika sighed a sigh of relief and laid her head back on the pillow. "Two days. Sesshoumaru has been gone for two days, I thought maybe he would be back, but....so far I haven't heard a word from him." She hit the pillow with her fists both in frustration and to make the pillow more comfortable. Why did he leave both Rin and her here? All alone? Wait, they weren't alone, for Jaken was there, but he didn't exactly care for them too much.
Rin did not take the idea of her Sesshoumaru leaving very well. She cried in Milika's opened arms when Milika came down alone, telling her the Sesshoumaru was gone. Rin shuttered in her sleep, thinking about that moment in her dreams. She didn't like the feeling she got when she saw Milika's bruised face. Being a curious child, she asked how she got it. Milika only replied with, "I fell." Rin knew Milika was being honest, but not wanting to upset her more, she stopped the questions.
Milika softly removed Rin's hair from the path of drool that fell from her slightly opened mouth. Milika rolled back over and face the slightly opened window that provided with fresh night air. "Sesshoumaru..." Milika whispered to the night, "Either you are going to find us or....we are going to find you." She then settled back down to try to get sleep for one night at least.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Two days, and we haven't found one clue where she is!" Kagome sighed as she laid back into her sleeping bag. Her and the others, have been looking for Milika ever since Kagome came back through the well with the news of the girl's disappearance.
Inuyasha responded with a growl from the upmost branch of a tree. "I don't know why we just give up. It has been TWO days and I haven't even got a whiff of her's or even Sesshoumaru's scent. Knowing Sesshoumaru he probably has..."
"Don't even say it Inuyasha!" Kagome frowned at the hanyou. Shippou curled up closer next to her for warmth. With that, Kagome laid her head down and sleepily watched the campfire.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
Sesshoumaru watched the two sleeping girls from afar. He looked into the window of the bedroom. He had been there every night since he was gone to watch for any intruders that might come. "At least their scent won't be so strong from the outside. I can at least watch them sleep." Sesshoumaru had tried for the past days to rid himself of his dark and lustful thoughts. Even as a battle within his soul raged, he still found peace watching Milika and Rin sleep. So tempted was he, to go to Milika's side as she cried out for him in her dreams. "I must regain again my resistance for the things that.....I crave most." He watched as she pounded her fists and looked dreamily out the window. His breathing, stopped for a second, afraid that she saw him. Slowly, though her eyes came to a close.
The moonlight streamed through the window, as Sesshoumaru made his way into the bedroom. So silently, he walked to the edge of the bed, making sure both of the humans were asleep. He saw that Rin had kicked off the covers in her sleep. Sesshoumaru carefully covered her, so warm blankets surrounded her. Rin gave a slight smile in her sleep, Sesshoumaru lightly stroke the young girl's soft raven hair with his claws.
Rin, gave a slight frown with her eyes closed, sighed in her sleep, "Sesshoumaru .....sama?" Almost in a breathy whisper. Sesshoumaru's hand stopped, and slowly took it away. She ran a small hand through her hair, and settled back down into the pillow.
Sesshoumaru began to walk back to the window, but the face of Milika, caught his glance. Her face almost looked as smooth as silk, but the bruise upon her cheek, marked her. Sesshoumaru felt a tinge on guilt go through as he saw her face, the face which Sesshoumaru fell for. "Why is it, I care for her so, but then at the same time , she is the one that causes me to act so, hateful, uncontrollable."
Milika laid there, sound asleep, her mind off somewhere else. She sighed within her dreams, not finding the Sesshoumaru-sama she was looking for. She ran after him in desperation, trying to call his name, but nothing coming from her lips. Unknownly, her eyes became full with tears.
Sesshoumaru saw the scene, Milika in front of him, with tears silently flowing from her eyes. He slowly and stiffly got close to her, trying not to inhale her scent. The scent that drove him to the end. He lightly touched his claws to her face, he concentrated, sending soft waves of his healing energy to her face. Slowly the mark disappeared, leaving Milika's face unmarked. "That should have never happened in the first place." He sighed and made his way back out the window. "I will be back, but I don't know when."
Milika felt a light touch on her cheek and slowly opened her eyes. To her disappointment no one was there. "I must have been dreaming ." She fell back into her deep slumber while a youkai lord watched from the outside.
