Something There
Chapter 7:Second Thoughts
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.
Sesshomaru sat on his throne anger buried inside his chest squeezing his heart in a bitter choke hold. She had refused him and had no remorse or regret. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the arm of his chair. He yelled for all his pain he had to endure and the newly inflicted wound on his heart.
Kagome looked towards Sesshomaru's throne room as she heard the cry of pain. Was he hurting that deeply? He hadn't talked to her for days and she was starting to feel remorse and guilt. Her heart began to leap when she heard his gentle name. It was so gentle and fragile for such a strong and powerful lord. She made up her mind and took a deep breath. She would tell him. She had to.
'Sesshomaru you must take her! She's a miko and a very powerful one at that!'said the demon. Sesshomaru didn't say a word to his inner demon. 'Then I'll take over!'Sesshomaru sat very still.
Sesshomaru decided that he didn't care anymore and gave in to his other half. He felt himself slowly sinking into darkness that was until she interfered.
He heard her soft cry and her ningen hands reach out and wrapped themselves around his muscular frame. His other half subsided and let Sesshomaru take over for the time being. She had her head resting on his chest and her eyes were clenched shut, tears trickling down her cheek. Sesshomaru put his hands sternly on her shoulders and separated them. She looked at him surprise and she was a little confused. "Sesshomaru I. . . . . ."He gave her a frightening glare that seemed to burn right into her soul.
"Leave me be, ningen."He commanded. She sat there staring at the ground one hand clenched into a fist, clutched to her chest. Sesshomaru sat on his throne again his patience wearing thin.
"I have a name remember?"He looked away in disgust and hurt.
"I know, Kagome, now say what you want to say and get out of here."She looked into his cold amber eyes and looked away quickly.
"I wanted to talk. You haven't been talking to me for days now. You won't even look at me!"He shrugged. She approached him until they were so close they could feel each others breath. She extended her arm and laid it on top of his. He looked up a little shocked but didn't dare move. "I'm so sorry that I declined you so aggressively. That was wrong. I guess I was just afraid. You are a Yorkai remember?"He smiled and took her hand inside his own.
"And I'm sorry, I've been acting like a child."She smiled and sat on his lap.
"I've been thinking. . . ."She drew circles on his chest with her finger. "I will accept your offer."She smiled up at him and he smiled back.
"Alright. Now sleep Kagome. You must be very tired."She nodded and buried her face into his chest taking in his scent. She felt two strong arms wrap around her welcoming her into sleep.
