Chapter 5: More Emotions
They stared at each other for a long while. Trying to figure out why they were feeling the way they were, and why had it only been triggered by just a simple touch. Both were feeling a sense of want, need, desire and was it possible, even love at a hidden stage? This was like nothing they had ever felt before, even with the one they thought they loved and had loved.
They stayed in that manner, just staring at each other, pondering on their thoughts for a while more until Kagome began to shiver violently. She had been in the water a bit too longer than she was supposed to, plus the night's air had become chillier and her little journey to her resting stop was talking its toll on her and it became evident as to why the shiver had started. Sesshoumaru noticed her violent fit of shivers and hurried over to where her belongings were. He rummaged through her bag and found a fairly good sized blanket. He pulled it out and rushed back to her. When he returned he found that she had her hands crossed over her upper body as if it would help to protect her in some way. He held his hand out to her for her to take, but she just looked at him as someone would in disbelief and shook her head.
Sesshoumaru could not figure out why she did not want his help. But then all of a sudden it hit him; she was under there naked and did not want him to see her in such a manner.
"Look, just take my hand, I won't do anything to harm you" he tried to convince her. But she still refused him.
He looked at her puzzled and told her, "If you are worried about me seeing you naked, think nothing of it. I've already saw..." he decided not to end the sentence for it would would do no good.
Kagome began to think about his offered help but then began to shiver even more and collapsed into the water. She would now regret on not taking his help.
Sesshoumaru did not need to think, for he knew what he had to do. He shed the outer part of his kimono and jumped into the stream. He saw her submerged form and swam towards her. He grabbed her body gently and pulled her up to the surface. He heaved a huge breath of fresh air, his lungs felt rejuvenated. He gently laid her limped body on the soft grass beside the stream. His eyes drifted to scan her naked body but then remembered the situation at hand. He leaned his ear towards her mouth to hear if she was breathing. He heard faint breathes being taken and decided to help her feeble efforts.
He readied himself for the actions he was going to take. The little knowledge he had about drowning victims would help him at this moment. He looked down towards Kagome's mouth and gently began to prier it open slowly. He leaned his mouth towards her opened one, his lips barely touching hers and as he was just about to carry out his basic knowledge of saving her life, her eyes popped open. He was a little startled but moved back a bit to give her some space for she began to cough. He gently patted her back. His hand touching her smooth skin, instantly giving him the same feeling as it did before when his hand had touched her face.
Kagome's coughs began to calm somewhat. Her face was flushed bright red. Both from having loss of air and from being very naked in front of Sesshoumaru. But of course this did not faze Sesshoumaru. Is wasn't like he had never seen a naked woman before. But this naked woman was different he knew.
He gave her the blanket that he had taken from her bag and handed it to her, "Here, cover yourself," his voice no longer gentle.
Kagome was taken aback by his change of mood. 'Its probably my fault. He only tried to help and I pushed him away. I guess i deserve it' she thought, a frown displayed on her lovely face.
"Thank you" she replied softly looking up at him.
"Hn" was his only response as he went to get the clothes he had taken off before he went to save her.
She watched him as he began to reach for his clothes and got up, making sure to wrap the blanket around herself properly. She made her way over to her bad and pulled something out and headed back to him.
"Here, take this, its to dry yourself" she offered politely.
He looked at her with questioning eyes but she just took his hand, ignoring the strange feelings she had gotten before, and placed the towel in it. He nodded his thanks and proceeded to dry himself off, while she got her dirty school uniform. She put it back into her bag and took out all the necessary things she would need to change.
