Chp.4 : First impressions. Second thoughts..
Sesshomaru lay the precious bundle on the guest bed and stood back. A part of his soul wrenched as he watched her mummer meaningless words in her sleep. Whatever could she be dreaming about? He decided he'd find out later as she might soon stir. Discouraged, he left the room...
Kagome
opened her eyes to the bright colors that she slept on. Turning,
she saw a huge balcony to her right. The windows shone open with
bright sun shine and the forest could be seen. She stretched and
began to wonder where she was...yeah, where was she? Kagome
remembered the night before then...The mysterious silver haired
demon! This made her sit up. Her mind ran over Inuyasha and she
wondered what the others were thinking. Would they be searching
for her? Hopefully Inuyasha wouldn't want to hurt his brother if
he knew that he had him here. The door creaked open...Kagome's
head jerked to the sound.
A
little girl slid in the room and smiled a toothy grin. Her orange
kimono was just as bright as the colors around the room.
"I
am Rin," She said waving "What is your name?"
At
first Kagome looked puzzled at the little person that stood before
her. Was this the demon's...child?
A
little disappointed, Kagome responded "I'm Kagome"
Rin
laughed and it sounded like little bells, it made Kagome smile.
"Welcome
to Lord Sesshomaru's fortress!"
Kagome
nodded and asked "Are you Lord Sesshomaru's daughter?"
This
made Rin laugh until her stomach hurt and she balled on the floor
"Ha,
Ha. Rin is not Lord Sesshomaru's daughter.Rin is Shesshy's
friend."
Kagome
sat back, relieved. So did that make Sesshomaru..available? Just
then the door opened to a tall, massive, figure dressed in dark
blue. His golden eyes glowed amber and silver hair was back in a
ponytail. Some strands loosely fell around his face. Kagome
gasped. It was...him!
"SHESSHY!"
Rin practically flew to Sesshomaru and grabbed his leg. Kagome to
her surprise saw the luminous figure blush. She'd expected Rin to
hide in fear around him not smother him...Maybe they really are
friends.
"Are
you not Inuyasha's wench?" Said the deep calm voice. It was
now Kagome's turn to blush.
"No
I am not! My name is Kagome."
The
demon lord only ignored Kagome's response.
"Are
your wounds healed?" he said in a softer tone. Kagome shook
her head and stared up at him. Now aware of her appearance she
looked down at herself and the blush deepened.
"You
shall remain here till your wounds heal. Till then, if you need
anything Rin or Jaken will assist you." He turned to leave.
"And
what if I...what if I need you?"
"...I
do not think that will be necessary"
Kagome
was now the color of a rose. Who did he think he was? Yeah...he
was cute but that didn't mean he had to be a jerk. Kagome sat
back in the pillows. If this is how here stay would be instead of
a romantic getaway, maybe she wouldn't be here for long...
