And into his lap.
She slipped right through his fingers. And into his lap.
He looked for her. But she was with him.
She didn't want this to happen. Neither did he.
But it did anyway.
She didn't want this to happen.
"So now he's never going to forgive me, and he'll never want to see me again." Kagome choked out.
Sesshomaru watched as she fought her hardest not to cry. He could have laughed at the pathetic girl, for crying over such a worthless thing. He should have laughed at her for crying over such a useless thing. But right now, as he watched her, the stressed look on her face, it wasn't funny.
Kagome sniffed. Why did she have to tell him anyway? It's not like it was any of his business. But she had to admit, it was better to tell someone than just keep it locked up forever.
She felt something being thrown at her. It was the upper layer of Sesshomaru's cloaking. He tossed it. She looked down at it in confusion.
"It is dark, it will get cold here. We will stay here tonight. Tomorrow I will take you to shelter so that you can eat. I am guessing that you are hungry, correct?"
Kagome shook her head. Of all things right now, Kagome was not hungry. She was far from it.
"Well then perhaps your stomach will think different at sunrise."
Kagome wrapped the cloth around her shoulders. That was awfully generous of Sesshomaru. But why? She knew he was different, she knew it was because of Rin. But she didn't think he would be this different.
"Thank you."
She got a grunt in reply.
"I'm not being rude, but I can take care of myself. I don't need your help. So I'll just go now..."
"The hell you will human. Rin would not forgive me if I let you venture off and get killed. No."
Kagoome was shocked a little. So he was doing this for Rin. How sweet. Ok. She would play along until he let her go. For Rin's sake. But she needed to get home, she really didn't want to stay here when she had no purpose.
"Speaking of which, where is little Rin? It has been a while since I last saw her."
Sesshomaru sighed. "She is away now. Aiding Jaken"
Kagome noticed his sigh. "Oh." 'He's lonely' she told herself.
Sesshomaru silently wondered why he just told the human that information. It was none of her concern- but yet, it was, she was friends with Rin. Ok, maybe it was alright to tell her.
"You must be lonely out here."
Sesshomaru glared at the girl. Lonely? She had to be joking! Sesshomaru didn't like jokers. That wasn't funny. Sesshomaru? Lonely?
"Stop your incoherent babbling human, you know nothing of me." he warned.
Kagome shut her mouth for a moment. Trying to decide whether to continue the conversation or not.
"I'd get lonely too." she said quietly, just so he could barely hear her. "I mean I will be lonely now..."
Sesshomaru glared at her. How dare she compare herself to him! There was no comparison...
Out of nowhere, Kagome smiled.
"I can keep you company..." she said softly. "I'll be your friend."
Sesshomaru snorted. "This Sesshomaru has no friends. Nor wants any."
"But what about Rin?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru did not answer.
"Well I guess I'll just be alone by my self then, huh?" Kagome joked, more to herself than to him.
"Why must you be so pathetic all of the time! You let that half breed hurt you and all you do is whine about it! Don't be so weak! If it were me, I say kill the bitch or kill Inuyasha! Don't let him hurt you! That is why I despise you human. You think love exists in your pitiful minds." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome stared shocked at Sesshomaru's sudden outburst.
"W-what?" was all she could get out.
Instead of answering her, Sesshomaru neared Kagome, and stood her up.
"Fight." he said.
"What? Now?" Kagome asked.
"Yes. Prove to me that you are worth my pity human. You are always crying to Inuyasha about your problems. Not once have I seen you do things for yourself."
Kagome started to get angry. She wasn't weak. She's the one that could see the jewel shards! Not any old weak person could do that! She'd show him!
Kagome fisted her hand and threw it at Sesshomaru, but he caught it with little effort. Struggling to get free, Kagome twisted, putting herself in an even worse position to Sesshomaru.
"You seem to be more weak than I expected." Sesshomaru said.
At this, Kagome started growling. She knew it was stupid, but she picked it up from Inuyasha. It always seemed to intimidate opponents, so she thought she would try. No luck. Sesshomaru looked at her, amused.
All of a sudden, she stared biting his hand as though her teeth were the strongest things in the world. Sesshomaru's face switched to annoyed and she dug her teeth deeper into his skin. Not hurting him in the least.
"Weak human."
Kagome pushed him over, shocking him and catching him off balance. He usually landed on reflex, but this caught him of guard. He didn't expect her to push him. And they were too close to the ground. So he allowed himself to fall. Taking her down with him.
Kagome let go of his hand from her teeth and stood up.
"Who's weak now?" she asked, proudly.
Sesshomaru grabbed her ankle and tripped her back to the ground.
"As I may recall, you still are, human." he said.
"My name's Kagome!" Kagome yelled and started kicking.
Sesshomaru caught both of her legs and stared down at her in question.
"I have a name, and I'd like to be called by it." she said.
"You annoy me. HUMAN." Sesshomaru countered.
Kagome was annoyed now, and decided to ignore him. The silent treatment. Sesshomaru soon let go of her legs and was still staring at her, waiting for her to come back with another reply, but she didn't. She just sat there.
"You sleep human, you are still sick, and the sun will be up soon." Sesshomaru said, not getting a reply from Kagome.
Kagome only stayed where she was, on the cold ground. And that annoyed Sesshomaru.
"Move to a warmer spot, human."
No answer.
"You do what I tell you."
No answer.
Anger rising, Sesshomaru picked Kagome up, ready to move her by force, but when he did, he noticed something.
She was crying.
And he noticed something else.
He didn't like it.
