Something There
Chapter 6: Uh-Oh!
"Because I love you Kagome. I was trying to prove to myself that I didn't love a human. Your so beautiful and I couldn't deny it any longer. Could you ever forgive me?"Kagome smiled her smile that she only gave him.
"I forgive you Sesshomaru. Now why did you give me your ring?"He smiled and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Kagome, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. . . . . . ."He looked at her, hope and fear clouding his vision.
'Uh-oh.'thought Kagome a little unsure.
"Kagome. . . . . . ."
"No way!"Kagome yelled standing up more surprised than angry. He looked heart broken but then became angry.
"Would you act mature and not blow things out of proportion!"She placed her hands on her hips and smiled at him.
"You honestly believe I would just give myself to you!"She remembered what he had said only seconds before.
"Kagome. . . . .I've told you that I loved you. . . .I want the chance to court you."he said uncertainty in his stern voice. Her eyes grew wide and the world was pulled out from under her.
He stopped as he realized something pounding around his neck. He stopped and took a small pink jewel on a necklace from inside his shirt. It was fastened around his neck and began pulsating with the rhythm of his heart. He held it between his thumb and index finger studying it.
"What's that?"Kagome had grown curious at the pink stone. He smiled and unhooked the necklace. He extend the jewel to her so she could get a better look.
"It's called the Shikon jewel. It's very rare and unique. It belonged to a holy miko before you were born."The jewel began pulsating again and began to glow with a soft pink light. Sesshomaru could feel it pulling it's self towards her. Was she a miko? Could it be possible? "Kagome, hold out your hands."She cupped her hands and extended them. Sesshomaru dropped the pink jewel into her cupped hand. Her hands glowed with the same pink light emitting from the small jewel.
"What's happening!"Sesshomaru closed her hands around the jewel and pushed it to her chest.
"You are a holy miko. You are the only person who can truly posses the jewel."Kagome looked at the pink jewel and smiled. She wasn't just a normal ningen after all!
"Thank you but. . . . .I don't wish to be courted by someone as arrogant as you!"Rage building inside of him, his eyes slowly turning red. He forced himself to calm down. In anger he dug his nails into his palms Kagome wincing when she saw blood fall from his hands staining the carpet on the floor. He spun around on his heel and stormed out of the room in fury. She had refused his offer. There was nothing more he could do.
