Chapter 11: questions and answers

Morning…

"Sesshoumaru? Are you awake?" she asked carefully.

He didn't reply. "Sesshoumaru?" still no reply.

-Kag's pov-

What's wrong with him? Why won't he answer me? Is he hurt or something? I wanted to make sure and to do so, I had to climb up that tree and see for myself!

So I started climbing. I'm not that good at climbing but Souta gave me some pointers on how to. 'Hold onto the branches like your life depends on it!' I thought. I got to the branch where Sesshoumaru was on most of the times. But when I stepped on a branch…

"Sesshoumaru are you-" the branch snapped and instantly felt the pull of gravity. OH MY GOD! 'SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HEEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!' I screeched but stopped abruptly as I felt a force behind me supporting me. What the!

I opened my eyes and I saw that it was… S-Sess-kun? No… this bishonen has long beautiful silver strands as hair. Beautiful eyes of ice and nothingness, perfectly carved lips and smooth clear skin….. This Bishonen… was…. Sesshoumaru…



-Sessho's pov-

I expected her to say her means but she simply climbed my tree and foolishly put her life in danger. Really, ningens are so non-intellectual. I held her from the fall and she was staring at this Sesshoumaru like I was some miracle. But somehow, this did not prove offensive.

I heard her mumble something, but since I have sensitive ears, I could hear her easily.

"Thank you…" she said. I guess this ningen has a sense of pride at least. I nodded. But I noticed a change in her… there was a faint blush as she covered her eyes with her hair. But I did not show notice to it.

(You know, if you saw this from the t.v. you'd say this looks like the waltz dip thing Sesshy did with Kag) I set her to sit on the tree branch below mine as a sign of my dominance and she did not protest. She sat comfortably on the branch still blushing. I sat again on my branch and I spoke to her.

"What do you want?" I prevented myself from calling her wench for I know of the consequences.

"I just wanted to know if you'd come back with me or if you're going first." I raised an eyebrow indicating my question. Back where?

"You know, back to sengoku!" she explained rather uncannily. This wench is going back to my hanyou of a brother and she is inviting me to come as well? But then again, I also need to see if Rin is alright and my lands.

"I will come with you." Then silence ensued…

-Kag's pov-

Okay, so he's gonna come… okay, that's it! I'm gonna ask him that thing that's been bothering me all this time!

"Um…. Sesshoumaru…. um… don't mind me asking but…. Uh… how old are you?" I hope he's not offended or anything.

"378 years." Oh my God!!!! That's really old!

"Really?!" I couldn't help saying it!

"But in human years I am 17." Oh… hey cool! Sessh-kun's 17 too! Talk about reincarnation similarities!

"That is so cool! 'Coz Sess-kun's 17 too!"

"And you?" me?

"Me? Me what? Oh, my age? 16! Just 1 year younger than both of you… or to say the least." I think that was proper because he was counting by… what? Centuries? Or decades?

He nodded. That was all? Okay, this is getting so uncomfortable. I'd like to get down right about now.

"Um… so I'll just pack my bags and we'll be on our way, okay?" I said jumping off the branch and a little roughly on my feet back on ground. But when I was about to look at him, I saw a silver blur and then… gold… golden orbs…

(Sess jumped down from the tree branch and landed in front of Kag… real close!)

"Uh…um…." I was out of words. He was just such a beautiful bishonen that I can't break eye contact with him. But the worst part was, he was being so close to me and I'm blushing like crazy!

"Let us depart." He said as he straightened up and walked away.

I sighed and held my chest where my quickly beating heart is.

"Okay, calm down heart…" wait! Did I just say down?!

'WHAM!' uh oh! "Sorry!!!!!!!!"
