Smile Like You Mean It
Chapter 28: I've Got A Dark Alley and A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth
Sorry For the Long Title
She walked out of the kitchen and into her room. She my have told Rin she was feeling better but that didn't mean she still didn't feel bad. She covered herself neatly into the blankets and snuggled up with the pillow.
She sniffled and closed her eyes hoping to those unforgivably idiotic gods that she could get a few more hours of sleep before having to get up and play with the children. She listened closely as the kids ran around asking the maids, and from the sound of it Sesshomaru, why she went back into her room so suddenly.
She smiled and mumbled they could wait for a few hours. And she feel asleep. Her dream was…odd…very odd…it was her and Sesshomaru at her aunts house, and she was being used as a bed…which was very odd. She turned a bit, having an uneasy feeling about her. She opened one eye to complete darkness.
I guess she was asleep longer then a few hours. She got up and hit something hard.
"What the--?"
She opened both of her eyes and rubbed her forehead. She wanted to jump when a candle turned on and there stood in all their glory…Sesshomaru…WHO!
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?"
He didn't answer, which made her smile (mwa, she's starting to act like me!).
"Sesshomaru? Are you alright?"
"Why did you go back to sleep…" He bluntly asked.
"Erm, no reason, just wanted to make sure I was feeling good so I could play with the kids, but I guess I fell asleep for longer then I wanted." She said in a small voice. He nodded and stood up.
"If you still feel sick don't be afraid to notify me. I'll keep the kids at bay." He said while walking out towards the door.
"I hope I won't…" She added standing up herself. "I'm going to get dressed…"
"Don't waste energy, stay in bed and do something creative, it's too late for anything. We'll have an early breakfast." He said before shutting the door behind him. She blinked and sat back down looking at the creepy looking room with the only light being the flickering candle.
She brought her knees up to her chest and stared at the light on the candle. In the background she heard trees brush but against the window and the candle's light disappeared. She mumbled a bit of a whisper and hid under the blankets. She curled to one side and well, fell asleep again.
When she woke up a bright blinding light was streaming into the room. She shot up and quickly picked out her favorite outfit ( dark blue jeans and a black shirt that says 'with a shirt like this who needs pants?') she grabbed her cd player with her special cd mix of her favorite sogns and groups. She ran into the bathroom taking a shower while listening to 'Promiscuous Daughter' By CKY.
After her warm shower she sped down the hallway to the kitchen where Sesshomaru was testing the foods sometimes telling the cook something or just giving a nod of approval. She walked up to him and watched him mess with a cook telling him the eggs needed more of something in them.
"whoa, stop being so mean to him, he's just doing his job." She said standing next to the older nervous cook. He looked down at her a little bit of peeved off crossing his usually unemotional eyes.
He waved the cook off and the guy bowed and walked off in a hurry with the pan full of eggs.
"Your too nice for your own good." He said walking towards the exit with her following with puppy like skill.
"You have to be nice every now and then, I've seen total asses be nice even once." she looked at him while still facing forward.
"Being an… 'ass' as you say, is too fun to turn into a pansy for one simple gesture of kindness."
"Do you even understand what you just said?" she looked at him questionably.
He was silent which gave her the exact answer she needed. She sat down next to a bouncy Rin and a rather quite Shippo.
"What's up Shippo?" Shippo looked up at her and smiled weakly.
"nothing…" he said glumly.
"when you say nothing it means 'I have something to tell you'" She said in a very matter-of-fact way, like she was all that and a bag of chips…but she's not! And I'm a bag of skittles so TASTE THE RAINBOW! Wow, sorry about that, I'm angry at the moment.
Anyway, she continued her semi-accusing glare at Shippo as he sighed and pecked at the food.
"Your being anorexic."
"what's that?" Rin asked playfully.
"It's a disease where the person doesn't eat at all to become skinny, oh Shippo if that was your problem you should have told me!"
"I'm not a rexic…"
"Your bulimic?"
"What's that? A rexic's sister?"
"No, bulimic is much more violent. It's where the person throws up to become skinner. Very violent, ruins your throat and everything." she said taking a bit of very…saucy looking food (I was typing this and eating a taco, yum).
Sesshomaru cleared his throat from the other side of the table.
"This…isn't really a eating conversation, Kagome." He said looking directly at her. She shrugged and pushed her plate away.
"That's okay, I'm not hungry anymore…" she sat up and walked out of the room, all six eyes staring at her with a questioning gaze. She reached her room and sat on the bed her head resting on the palms of her hands. She stared at her outstretched feet and sighed.
"Something wrong?" A voice came from the door. She looked up and saw Sesshomaru standing there just kinda looking at her.
"no nothing..just out of it." she said looking at him and smiling weakly. He raised an eyebrow and shrugged walking out of the room. She stared at the place where he was once standing and felt her heart skip a beat.
Why does she do that? Why is it that every time it seems he's trying to get closer to her she just pushes him away with stupid ignorance? She hadn't the slightest but she wished she knew. She frowned deeply and got up going through her stuff for something to entertain herself with. After looking through her cloths and cds she came across something she hasn't seen in a while. Her beautiful razor.
Her lip curled as she looked at the distinct marks of her old blood stains the recent was about a month ago. She pulled it out completely and noticed a string with a note attached to it.
I have no idea why this is in your bag nor why is reeks of your blood but if you are using it to hurt yourself and I find out it will be your head.
She blinked at the small script of Sesshomaru's handwriting. He knew, and that was a frightening thought. The other thing was that she knows better then to keep stuff as..odd as that out of public eyes. Which means he went through her stuff and picked out something of interest and made a comment.
How care he. She scowled and stepped up stuffing the razor into a secret bag (AKA her tampon bag) and stuffed it under a pile of things. She twitched a bit and looked over her shoulder as something caught her eyes. Her chocolate eyes widened as she rushed to the window staring out into the white abyss of the newly fallen snow.
A smile creeped onto her face as she bounded out of her room and into Rin's where her and Shippo were playing cops and robbers she hoped.
"YOU BOTH OF YOU! Put something….heavy, decent. We're going outside" she said rummaging through Rin's closet.
"Why?"
"It's snowing."
"So it's just snow"
"JUST snow! HAVE YOU EVER CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS! YOU POOR SOUL!" she said melodramatically.
"Christmas?"
"Oh yes, indeed, we will be paying a visit to my house soon, very soon indeed, and we'll be staying for more then a day." She added lowly giving Rin the thickest looking kimono.
She dashed out of Rins room into Shippo's where he followed closely after Rin, shocked, stayed in her room and changed as the dramatic Kagome insisted she did.
"KAGOME!" Shippo said rather out of character.
"WHAT? Put these on!" She shoved a few kimono's into his hands.
"Why do we care if it's snowing?"
"Snow is god, we must play in god, god makes great snowmen.." she said rather like a caveman.
"snow..man?"
"Yes"
"But-"
"Just put your stuff on then meet in my room.." She rushed out of shippo's room and down the hallway and slammed, roughly, onto the door of Sesshomaru's room.
"SESSHOMARU! OPEN UP?" she heard rushed foot steps then the door swung open.
"WHATS THE MATTER!" He looked around rushed and like there was some serious trouble.
"Get something warm on…" She smiled.
He looked at her like she was the oddest thing he's ever seen.
"What, on earth is your problem.."
"It's snowing"
He twitched.
