Chapter 5
Don't own Inuyasha
Kagome woke up feeling very unsteady. She tried to raise her head to look around but the dizziness came back to claim her and so she had to become content with just moving her head on the pillow to try and find Sesshomaru. I don't see him, she thought. That's strange. I could've sworn it he was here with me. A vision danced in her head. This was a vision of a powerful demon picking her up and protecting her from danger. He protected me like he was my guardian angel. I suppose that perhaps it was all just a dream, she thought distractedly looking out the window and seeing that it was indeed night time.
That's odd, Kagome said to herself. She wasn't the least bit afraid of this powerful demon that was supposed to be able to kill lesser youkai with the strategic move of one flawless finger. She had always thought that he had his own kind of beauty. An aura about him. He protected himself so selfishly that he would lock that aura away from the rest of the world in order to hide his true feelings and look like the heartless youkai he could be.
Kagome stood after the feeling of dizziness had passed and looked at her clock. It must've been a dream. She had slept all day. Kagome packed all her belongings to go back to feudal Japan before going downstairs to eat and pack some food for her trip back. The Shikon Jewel was almost completed and when it was she knew that she would have to return to her old, meaningless life where she was no good to anyone. A pain seized her chest but she still pasted one of her best smiles on her face and walked downstairs. No use in making everyone else upset, she thought taking a deep breath.
After dinner she grabbed her pack and prepared to leave. After saying good-bye to her family once again she walked outside to the well and looked around. "I almost do wish you were here with me, Sesshomaru. That would give my life here a purpose even if it were nothing more then the need to protect people from you here. At least then I wouldn't be so useless to everyone." This was all said in a low voice between broken sobs but the shadow above her could hear her. He could also prove to her that what she said was untrue but that would have to wait until she returned at the end of this week for the final time.
He watched as she jumped in the well after bringing her rattled emotions back under control as he felt tears stinging his own golden orbs. Looking out over the land he allowed himself to shed one shining tear for her. Then thinking that tear might be lonely he let another fall to keep it company. Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. That was all he could allow himself. He then wiped his eyes like a small boy on the back of his sleeve before he flicked his wrist and caused the liquid to fly off his arm to sprinkle the ground around him almost in a caress.
