As they continued their journey, Sesshoumaru took a quick glance at the now sniffling miko.

Some of her hair whipped behind her as the wind blew. Her tear-stricken face was hidden in his robe and her petite hands were grabbing his garment. Her body was against his, as if trying to seek warmth from him. She was slightly trembling from the cold rain. Her unusual clothes were soaked and the short "skirt" didn't help much. He instinctively wrapped his tail around her. She gave a small yelp of surprise but didn't push him away.

Kagome was surprised by his actions. Was this the real Sesshoumaru? But deep inside, she didn't mind it at all. Why? A million thoughts rushed through her mind, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand of them were " Oh my gosh! What am I doing here?". Nine hundred and ninety-nine of them were, "Am I betraying Inuyasha?". And one of it was, "Oh god! He's so hot." Guess which thought crossed her mind first? She blushed at it.

Neither of them could ignore the warmth from each other's bodies. No, they didn't want it to go away.

"Why am I doing this? She IS a human after all. She's just a filthy human and a lackey of my damned brother. She's so ugly and she stinks. I can't stand her and the though of it makes me want to throw up" Sesshoumaru thought. Somehow, a part of him begged to differ.

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome raised her head to the tall demon.

He raised an eyebrow to show that he was listening to the miko.

"Where are we going?" she said.

"To my castle" he said in a monotone voice. He looked down at her. Her cheeks were flushed from the crying and raindrops splattered on her pristine face. Her eyes were a little sore but he could see sadness in them. He, the mighty Lord Sesshoumaru, wanted to weep for the poor miko.

As he stared down at her, rain continued to pour over them. His hair clinged on his face and drops of water were running down his face. His eyes, for a moment, flashed with concern for her. His face still remained as stoic as ever. Kagome started to feel her face heating up as she bent her head back down. She felt as if she was standing beside a holy figure and she could never compare to him.

Blackness filled her eyes as sleep consumed her body. She was tired from all that running and crying. The last thing she felt was the warmth from the lord.

He looked down at the sleeping human and studied her face yet again. The more he looked, the more addicted he was to it. No, said his mind. She's just a human and you wouldn't go that low. He just looked into the clouds, as if trying to ask for advice from them. But today, it seemed that they were shunning him away.

As they reached his castle, he carried the sleeping girl towards the castle. Before he reached the large entrance, a small girl stopped him.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Look! Rin picked flowers for you! Who is this?" she pointed out to Kagome.

Kagome woke up from a fitful sleep from the shoutings of a small girl. She found out that she was in the arms of the demon lord and quickly got off him with the face of a beetroot. The little girl ran up to her and gave her a huge smile.

"What's your name?" Rin said.

"Kagome. And you?" she said as she kneeled down in from of the girl.

"Kagome-neechan! My name is Rin. Lord Sesshoumaru, did you bring Kagome-neechan for Rin to play with?" she looked up at her guardian with big eyes.

Kagome looked up at the demon lord as she saw him give Rin a quick nod. Kagome beamed up at him and soon, found her being dragged towards the field to play with the little girl she just made friends with.

"S-Sesshoumaru!" Kagome called him before he was about to enter the castle.

He turned around to his name and saw Kagome walking towards him again. He raised his eyebrow to show that he heard her.

"Arigato," she said to the demon lord. She tried to smile her biggest smile but her heart was still broken.

"I will only accept that when you'll give me a true smile," he said while cupping her face with his hand. Kagome was shocked by his actions as he used his thumb to wipe away the dried tears on her face. But she soon leaned on his hand and smiled slowly.

"It'll take awhile .. to get over him" she said as she lowered her head.

"I'll wait," Sesshoumaru said as he turned to leave.

Kagome just stood there looking at the ground. Her hands suddenly crept up to her sides and she hugged herself as she fell to her knees and suddenly burst into tears. Rin ran to her and kneeled in front of her worriedly.

"Kagome-neechan. Please don't cry," the little girl said as she put a petite hand on her shoulder. Suddenly, Kagome hugged Rin and took the little girl by surprise. Rin stood there and hugged her back.

"I'm so sorry you, you just remind me of my brother," Kagome said as she pulled away from Rin.

"Kagome-neechan had a little brother? Can Rin see him?" she said excitedly.

Kagome shook her head as she walked into the fields. The soil was still muddy but she laid down on the grass as she looked up into the dark sky. The rain had stopped a while ago but only now did she notice. Rin sat besides her looking up to the sky. Kagome then reached out her hand towards the sky. Rin mirrored what she did.

"Why are we doing this, Kagome-neechan?" Rin asked curiously.

Kagome brought her hand down towards herself and looked at it.

"I can't reach it," she said to the girl.

"Reach what?"

"The sky."

"Well, Kagome-neechan just needs something to stand on. Like a ladder."

"What if I lost my ladder Rin?"

"Find another one I guess."

Kagome thought over what the little girl said and stood up, brushing dirt off her. She took Rin's hand and led her towards some flowers. They started picking some flowers and Rin handed Kagome a blue daisy.

"See? It's the same colour as Kagome-neechan's eyes!" Rin said as Kagome took them.

She smiled as she looked at the flower. She didn't know whether she could fix her broken heart on her own. But she knew that one day, there would be a ladder to help her touch the sky.
