Kagome sat in her bed, Rin sitting on a mat by the door, and Jaken occasionally popping in to see how things were. It had been nearly a week and the only time Sesshoumaru came in was to check the wound. He never said a word, and the isolation was really getting to her. Rin was such a sweet girl, but the conversations lacked depth. Jaken only wanted to talk about blood-lines and how the youkai were better than the humans. At least Sesshoumaru should be able to InuYasha bash with her. Unfortunately he was always too busy.
The past six days were trudging on forever, and Kagome could do nothing but wonder. Was InuYasha happy? Did he bury Miroku? How was shippo? Was her mother still alive? Finally the mental pressure was too much to handle and she cracked. Kagome stood, the pain in her leg was excruciating, but she had to get out. She tried to run, but she ended out looking more like a zombie than an escapee. Rin jumped out of her way, and yelled for Jaken to come help Kagome. Kagome tried to go faster, but ended out falling face first into the floor. Oddly, the floor was softer than she thought it would be, and she looked up to see an ankle. Uh-oh.
Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome, and lifted her with his tail and began walking back to her room. Kagome began struggling and was whipped around to face him. She noticed there was red seeping in to the corners of his eyes, and his voice came as a growl. "I've told you to stay. Where do you think you'll go? You're injured, and many youkai could smell it. You'd be eaten as soon as you left the fence. Now lay down, shut the fuck up and heal!" He started to push her back behind him when she began to yell. "Leave me outside the fence! Let the youkai eat me! I'd welcome it! I'd face it rather than to deal with you!" Kagome felt herself being thrown, and woke up the next afternoon back in the bed. She woke with a start, and upon realising where she was, she began crying.
Rin looked at her and had a frightened look on her face. "Rin thought you'd died! Why did you make Sesshoumaru-sama mad? Why do you want to die? Rin died before. It hurt. It wasn't fun." Kagome stopped crying quickly and looked inquisitively at the little girl, while wiping away tears. "You've died?"
"Eaten by wolves. Sesshoumaru-sama brought me back to life. Now he's my family!" Rin smiled a toothy grin, and Kagome was struck with this. Why did Sesshoumaru care about this little girl?"Where's your real family?"
"They were killed by bandits a year before Sesshoumaru-sama saved me. I found him injured in the woods, and tried to help him, but he wouldn't take my help. Finally I needed help, and he helped me!" She smiled the same grin, but Kagome just looked at her, dumb struck. Kagome was still trying to figure this out when Sesshoumaru walked into the room.
"Now, do you mind telling me why you wish to die? Is my hospitality that bad?" The look on his face told Kagome to watch what she said. "Sesshoumaru, My boyfriend just left me for a dead girl, One of my best friends is dead, The other three I know I'll never see again, and to cap it all off, you may have killed my mother! Am I supposed to be happy?" Sesshoumaru looked at her, his annoyance still obvious. "You're supposed to be happy you're still alive. My father was proof there will always be other mates, but in the end life is only what you make it. You have fought for practically nothing, and now your life is nothing. I've hoped to gain your assistance in a few things, but if you'd rather die, then please do so quickly and rid us of your emotional outbreaks." With this he threw a sword on the foot of the bed. Sebuku. Kagome looked up just in time to see the end of his tail leave the door frame. She picked up the sword, unsheathed it, and turned it towards her. Then a thought popped into her head.
There was a poor little girl here. She had no mother, no father, and the closest thing she had to a family at all was the eldest of the bastards. If she stayed, she could help her. She may be able to teach this little girl to be a miko, and to live a good life. If she died, who knows what the flea ridden asshole might do to her.
For the little girl, Rin, She had to stay alive. Just the thought of this made her miss Shippo even more. "Jaken? May I ask of you a favor?" Jaken walked quickly into the room and smiled. "What can I do for you?" His eyes were intent upon the sword, and for this she was grateful. He wanted to kill her! Ha! Life was about to suck for these youkai. "Please go get me a walking staff. I need to see how close I am to walking." Jaken rolled his eyes before leaving to the garden to find it. Rin looked relieved at this. "You're gonna live, right?"
"Right, Rin. I'm gonna live." Kagome smiled at the girl, who quickly returned it.
Kagome spent hours the next three days walking around the room, using the staff for support. Finally she felt well enough to leave the room. Rin walked beside her, and Jaken behind. She was actually grateful for the small youkai's aid, for if she'd fallen with no one around in this house, It may have been weeks before she'd been discovered. She walked down a hall and back without falling. The next day it was two walkways. The next day four. By the end of week two she was able to wander the gardens, and was so grateful for this. She hadn't realised she'd become so accustomed to being outside. She sat in the garden, Rin making flower wreaths, and placing them on people. Kagome started Rin's teaching by pointing out the names and uses of the flowers. "Rin, do you know what this plant is? It's arrowroot. It's good to use on cuts, scrapes and stings." Rin would admire the plant before weaving it into her wreath. Jaken watched this for most of the day, also seeming to be interested in the plants. By the end of the day, Rin had four wreaths on herself and Kagome, and three on Jaken. Two around his neck, and one on his head, just below the rim of the hat.Sesshoumaru walked out of a room Kagome hadn't noticed yet, and stared at the group. "Miko, when did you begin walking?"
"I've been building up my strength for a week now. I'm still not well enough to go on any journeys, but If you'll give me another two weeks, I should be as well as before." Sesshoumaru looked slightly angered, and slightly curious. "Have your emotional distresses ceased to bother you?" Kagome smiled at him. "No, but finally someone gave me a reason to stay for a while." With this she patted Rin on the head, and Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl. "Sesshoumaru, where is your kitchen? Human girls need to eat at least once a day, and she's yet to." Sesshoumaru looked thoroughly furious, shifted his gaze to Jaken, and waved them on, returning to the room. Jaken lead the group to the kitchen.
Rin assisted a lot while Kagome did the actual cooking and after a while there was a feast. "Jaken, please help me move these things to the table, and Rin, can you please retrieve Sesshoumaru?" Rin nodded and ran while Jaken, though worried helped with the table. Sesshoumaru walked in, Rin dancing before him, obviously proud of her cooking accomplishments. Sesshoumaru looked at the table, and was about to turn right back around, when Kagome started on him. "Sesshoumaru, You may be a youkai, but You need to eat as well. Sit." Kagome, out of force of habit flinched at the S-command and looked around the floor for the injured Hanyou before realising what she was doing. Sesshoumaru looked at her, for the first time in nearly two weeks his face stoic, and asked," Have you gone mad?"
"No, Your brother is cursed. I say sit, and he takes a face first plunge." Sesshoumaru looked worried, and shook his head."Please eat, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin looked pleadingly at him, and he knew he had to. He gave one final defeated sigh before going to sit at the head of the table.
The food was mostly eaten, but everyone was full, so Jaken knew he had to come back and clean after dropping Kagome back off at her room. Sesshoumaru, upon leaving the room, looked at Rin, then at Kagome, and turned to leave, his posture for the first time not perfect. He slumped slightly, and Kagome could have sworn she'd seen a longing in his eye. He really cared for Rin. Kagome realised this was part of what he'd wanted from her, A mother for his little girl. Kagome suddenly felt guilty for taking off with the girl for the day. "Rin, please go to Sesshoumaru, and try to cheer him up. I think he misses you." Kagome smiled to the girl, and she looked up a look of hope so evident on her little features. She ran through the door after him. Jaken looked up at her. "Why do you do this to yourself? Or to Sesshoumaru-sama? I don't understand."
"Neither do I." Kagome said, her voice trailing, as she looked out the door wondering the same thing herself.
Before she drifted off to sleep Kagome had realised two things, One, Sesshoumaru wasn't as bad as she'd made him out to be. He thought of himself as nothing more than the lord of the western lands, and that was precisely what he'd become, but he was realising he wanted more. And number two, She should try to be nicer to him, after all, in this house of four people, all emotions ran through everyone else. If she pissed off Sesshoumaru, Everyone else in the house was affected. She must try to keep additudes in check, both her own and Sesshoumaru.
Maybe this won't be so bad...
