Chapter 14: Sweetness
-Sessho's pov-
"Rin." I called out to her, and like an obedient child, she came running to me with glee. Rin was always a puzzle to me. She never ceased to amaze me. This little cub of a human had never feared, hated, nor was ever disgusted of me. She would never judge this Sesshoumaru because of my exterior characteristics.
I watched her as she clinged to my leg, a toothy-grin beaming up to me. Rin. My only salvation from the dark abyss of loneliness and confinement. The one that gave such simple meanings to such complicated questions. Rin was a child who is wise beyond her years yet decides upon keeping it hidden. Only I, Sesshoumaru know of this.
"Sesshoumaru-sama missed Rin? Rin missed Sesshoumaru-sama lots!!!" she exclaimed joyfully. As my response, I settled a gentle clawed hand on top of her head. That was all my pride would allow me to do.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!!! This faithful servant welcomes you back!!!!" (And I think we all know who that is.) The slimy, disgusting toad of a youkai that this Sesshoumaru called his servant said scurrying his webbed feet near me. I did not want contact with him so I simply took the hilt of Tensaiga and hit him on the forehead.
Instantly, his little meek body flew away from this Sesshoumaru for about a few feet. With an extra screech, of course.
"Rin, come. We must assess a certain unprecedented issue." I said taking her little hands in mine. And guiding her to the direction of the library.
"What's unpresidemted mean, Sesshoumaru-sama?" she was still a child.
"Unprecedented, Rin. It is an unsolved or undecided upon issue."
"Oh…. Kay!" 'Indeed… a child.' I inwardly smiled at the thought.
-Kag's pov-
Inu-yasha is such a worry worm! He thinks Sesshoumaru can't be trusted, well I spent a whole three days with him and I'm still alive! I trust Sesshoumaru, why can't he! I stared at the fire as it danced in the night.
Why can't they at least, just once, put aside their pride and anger, and just be brothers! They can't have forever! I mean Sesshoumaru's gonna have to…'die…' the thought brought me a frown. Yes, it was true. To get a reincarnation, you must die first.
Then that means, Sesshoumaru's gonna die… but if he doesn't die, Sessh-kun won't live! And if Sessh-kun won't be around, then… I don't know what I'd do without Sessh-kun!
I mean, Sessh-kun's always been there for me! He's always the one who carries me when I'm down. He's my best friend and he's always saved me.
'Wow… I never thought I was so dependant on him…' I thought looking at the fire.
'Sessh-kun's… my lifeline….' I thought sweetly… yes, that was proven true… Sessh-kun was and always will be… my lifeline…
"Kagome?" I averted my gaze to the now clean Sango with a 'huh?' you should've seen her after we got her out of that mess the ogre made! She was dripping wet with green slime and some of the ogre's organs! It was so gross!!!!! I couldn't help but laugh! But now, is not the time to laugh at her.
"You've been staring at the fire for a really long time now, is something wrong?" she asked worriedly. Oh, Sango was such a sweet friend to me! Much like the sister I always wanted to have.
I smiled reassuringly at her. She DID say once that I had the best reassuring smile she had ever seen! "Don't worry, Sango-chan! I'm fine! I'm just watching and thinking how beautiful the fire is." Okay, that wasn't completely true. But it was half! That counts right.
"Feh! You and your girly antics!" Inu-yasha butted in from his position across us! Girly?! I'll girly his butt to 0the seventh hell!
"Sit!" 'Thud!' ahh that was so satisfying!
He mumbled some bad words in the ground so I decided to teach him a lesson.
"Sango, why don't you SIT," 'thud!' "Down, 'coz SITting" 'thud!' "Is better, coz you don't get to SIT" 'thud!' "Every time, 'coz SIT boy here," 'thud!' "Just wants to walk! I mean, doesn't he ever wanna SIT?!" 'Thud!' I think I knocked him unconscious.
Serves him right! I stuck my tongue at his unconscious form. Hehehe.
Anyway… I'll repay Sessh-kun somehow, someday for all the things he's done for me.
'Thank you, Sessh-kun.' I smiled.
-Sesshy's pov-
"AACHHOOO, ACHOO! ACHOO!" I sneezed three times! And while, I was in the presence of my okaasan! How embarrassing! She only laughed though.
"Why, dear, I think someone must be thinking good thoughts about you." She said from her seat across me on the veranda.
"Okaasan, that is only mere superstition. It is not proven so I do not believe it." I said taking a sip from my cup of tea. She only smiled some more.
"Then I hope you are not catching a cold, my son." She said taking a sip from her cup.
"Trust that I am completely healthy, okaasan. It is just the chill of the night."
"Hm…" she said as she looked up at the star filled sky. And I copied her actions.
"The stars are beautiful, are they not?" she inquired. I only nodded my response.
"Sesshoumaru, is that Kagome girl not feeling well today?" she looked at me.
"I asked her mother and she said that Kagome has a flue. It is a light disease so there should be nothing to worry of." I assured her.
"I like her, son. She is polite and witty. And her personality only brings out the already seen beauty in her."
"She is not as beautiful as the others, okaasan." I tried denying what my okaasan said, for I thought it would be best.
"Hai, she is not. She has that simple beauty, though. Something you cannot deny, my child." She said smiling wittily at this Sesshoumaru.
"No, mother, I cannot. True, she is beautiful, that much I will admit."
"That's why I never taught you to lie, Sesshoumaru. I'm always right." I let go of my indifferent mask and smiled at that. My okaasan was understanding and kind. She does not wish me to change nor be corrupt. No wonder my father chose her for a wife. She stood as her flowing white gown waved at her movements.
"I'll go and see if your father is home yet." She smiled. And as the wind blue her white hat away, her beautiful pale brown, curly hair flowed with the wind.
"My hat." She inquired, looking at it's direction.
"Do not fret, okaasan, I will send a servant to fetch it." I said reassuringly.
She nodded and smiled. "Arigatou, and goodnight, my love." She came up to me and kissed my forehead. And this was not something I was embarrassed to accept. I cared for my okaasan for she cares for me. I am not ashamed of it.
She walked out of the veranda and out of my sight and I sighed to the wind.
"Kagome…" the name rolling out of my mouth so easily. Kagome was a beautiful person. Inside and out. And I have no doubt that she is a wonderful friend. And yet why am I not satisfied with my status in her life?
