A Shoulder to Cry on
"A-Arigato Sesshomaru-sama."
"How many times do you intend that this Sesshomaru save you in a day?" He asked with amusement in his deep masculine voice.
"Gomen for being so weak and stupid" Kagome whispered in a sad voice.
"You are not weak although you are sometimes too rash" Sesshomaru said wiping his blade on the grass.
"I am weak and pathetic, even Inuyasha thinks so," Kagome stood up dusting her skirt off.
"That damn Hanyou is ignorant, he would not notice power if it was right in front of his nose" he said sheathing Tokijin and standing watching the Miko that intrigued him so much.
"He may be ignorant but he's never lied to me before" she said holding her head down to look at her shoes.
"That may be yet he thinks of you as only a reincarnated jewel detector." Kagome couldn't stand being compared to Kikyo so she did the only thing she felt she could do, she cried. Sesshomaru watched as she broke down, crumpling to the ground with tears streaming down her face in rivulets.
'Great now I made her cry, should I comfort her? But I don't know how to comfort humans, maybe I should try the Inu-youkai way.' Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome who was kneeling on the ground; he gently picked her up and sat down with her cradled in his arm. He began making a steady purring sound deep in his throat while he stroked her raven black hair. After awhile her tears stopped and her breathing steadied as she became exhausted in the arms of the Taiyoukai.
"Sesshomaru...?" She said as she looked up into his golden eyes as he stopped soothing her.
"Shh, rest beautiful" he stood up and with his demon speed he stopped at a small clearing and settled down against a tree with Kagome cradled back in his arm. He resumed his earlier comforting of Kagome.
"You called me beautiful?"
"Yes, now sleep" Kagome instantly drifted off into a peaceful sleep nestled in the Inu-youkai's arm.
