Chapter 3
Don't own Inuyasha
Sesshomaru was curious about this girl. He had been ever since the day she was born. He never expected Kagome to be part of Sango's family. Although that would begin to explain why they had become such close friends so fast. He had known that because she was a member of Sango's family he had to protect her because of the vow he had made so many years ago. It was hard, however, to keep his distance but he knew that in exactly a week the Shikon Jewel would be completed and that she wasn't supposed to know about him living in her time until then. Even knowing that he couldn't just leave her to die.
He could, however, leave before she woke up. Though Sesshomaru failed to notice before as he took a long look at her he realized that he had been watching over her for all of her life and that he had marveled at every little thing she did. Her first step was graceful, her first word the sound of an angel.
He used to visit her when she was very small. Her parents were very surprised when her first words were "puppy" and "Sessho." The first time she said, "I love you" the words were directed at him and he felt something amazing and powerful twist inside his chest, awakening something he had forgotten he even had. At that time he believed it was pride from watching this little girl grow up…but then it had developed into something else as he began more and more to label her "his" Kagome. As he thought about it he realized these were only a very small amount of the memories he held of this smiling girl.
He sighed before jumping out of her window and on to his favorite tree branch that he had chosen the very day she first smiled at him from her crib. And smiled as he realized a new memory was created with her in it today.
