Chapter 6

When SesshoMaru returned to his palace, he returned to the room he was in before. It still contained the candles and herbs. He laid kagome on the bed and quickly cleaned up. He then left to retrieve something.

He returned sometime later with a stack of paperwork. He sat at the desk and began to work. While he worked, he thought about how he got into this mess.

That day he had been plagued with thoughts that both scared and confused him. Thoughts of her, kagome. He didn't understand how a human could intrigue him so much. That was his reason for going on that walk. He had hoped that the tranquility of the forest would help him but that's when he found her, dead.

Now, he was waiting for her to awaken, this also confused him. Why was he waiting for her, kagome, a human girl, to awaken? Not only that but reviving her? He needed more time to think so he returned to his room for a nap.

Later on...

SesshoMaru awoke from his unrest full sleep. Even in his dreams he can't escape her. He returned to her room to finish his paperwork. When he entered, he discovered that she was still unconscious. He walked over to the desk and continued working.

Soon, he ran out of ink. He searched the desk for some and as he searched he discovered a book in one of the drawers. It was titled "Nemuri Keikoku" (Sleeping Beauty) he looked at it a moment and then remembered why it was in here.

Rin had gotten a book from the library, which was right next to this room, but she couldn't read it. He had been looking for her, it was her bedtime. He found her in here trying to read the book.

"SesshoMaru Sama! Will you please read rin the story?" he sat down next to her and read her the story. Eventually, rin fell asleep.

He knew the story by heart, even though he didn't want to. Then it hit him. His situation was similar to that of the stories. Then something else came to mind, something that both excited and frightened him. ' It most likely wouldn't work...' He told himself as he got up from the desk and went over to the bed. ' But it wouldn't hurt to try...'

He looked at her sleeping face a moment before he came to his decision. ' Yes, I'll try it.' He slowly leaned forward, his face centimeters from hers when...

His lips crashed down onto hers in a gentle kiss. When he ended it he looked at her. ' It didn't work. Oh well, just have to wait.' Then something happened.
