Chapter 8: Kagome's Realization
Kagome stared at Sesshomaru in shock, as they left. They both realized that he was still
carrying her, and embarrassed he put her down, gently. That night, Kagome saw a whole
new side to the evil Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands. He wasn't all that bad. Like
Inuyasha, he put on a mask whenever he felt too emotional. He covered up. 'Maybe they
got it from their father's side?' she guessed.
She then noticed that Sesshomaru's boa was covered in dried blood, and insisted that she
wash it. "that's alright." Sesshomaru said, calmly. "No, really!" Kagome continued to
insist, I want to!" He finally agreed, but said he wanted to go with her. They set off to the
lake and he sat next to her watching the sun set in the sky, as she washed the boa clean.
"You know," She began, "I've really become quite attached to this boa." He gazed at her,
shocked that she was talking to him as if he were a close friend. Finally, he recovered,
and said, "Yes, so have I." "Out of curiosity, Sesshomaru," She asked, "Where did you
get this?" She hung it on a tree branch to dry and sat next to him waiting for an answer.
He hesitated. "My father gave it to me." He finally said, "It's a sign of royalty."
She smiled sweetly, "Maybe to make up for leaving you the tenseiga?" She joked, but he
shot her an offended glance. "I'm sorry." She immediately said. "I do treasure it." He told
her, "The boa, I mean." She nodded. "There wasn't a night I slept without it." He
continued, "Well, … except for last night." He shot he another strange look. What was he
saying? He was so hard to read! Did he resent her for sleeping on his boa last night?
"…Oh, I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, feeling her face turn a bright red. She didn't know
what else to say, but to her surprise, he did something she would have never expected. He
actually smiled. "Kagome, it's a joke." He said, teasingly. It wasn't a sweet smile, but a
playful grin. He was rather attractive, smiling like that and sent chills down her body.
She didn't know what she was feeling, or why, but for the first time that night, she forgot
Inuyasha. She gazed into his mysterious eyes, but realized she must have embarrassed
him by smiling like that at him, because he turned away. That damn mask! She would
soon eliminate it. At least she hoped so. She was dying to see Sesshomaru laugh, or even
blush! Why was she feeling this way? She finally snapped into reality.
What was she feeling? A thought popped into her mind, but she ignored it. No. It
couldn't be that she was… in love with Sesshomaru! Well she was falling, and that she
couldn't deny. Not this time. She had been trying to avoid it, but she just can't now! It
was true… she was falling for the Sesshomaru! Did this make her the Lady of the West?
