chapter nineteen
fragrances
From afar he seemed like a lone prince from a fairy tale standing without a companion, surrounded by greenery thriving in fecundity. He seemed deep in thought, as she often assumed he was, and an indelible seriousness he always carried became unsurprisingly evident.
She approached him slowly, as to avoid imposing her presence upon him in a sudden manner. She didn't question the fact that he had probably sensed her long before, but that didn't disrupt her pace as she walked towards him, step by step. Soon she stood at his right, just a few steps behind him. Her eyes directed themselves to his face, softening at the image that greeted her.
"Sesshoumaru?"
He turned his head and affirmed her presence with a wordless nod. They stood in silence for a few seconds before she heard him ask, "You are already up?" His look was skeptical, inclined to believe that she was once again pushing herself too hard.
"I'm not too fragile of a doll, you know," she retorted.
No, she wasn't, he agreed inwardly, but her state last week was worse than what you could call "incapable of breaking".
"What's that smell?" Kagome asked, suddenly distracted. She broke her eye contact with him and skimmed her surroundings, drawing her brows together. A puzzled look dawned upon her curious face and without warning she grinned, looking back up at him. "Eh?" she asked exaggeratedly, "Sesshoumaru, is that you?"
"What is it?" he demanded, annoyed at being incapable of getting the drift of her thoughts.
"You smell like flowers!"
He matched her teasing smile with a freezing glare before
saying, "You're walking on a bed of flowers, wench, so watch that mouth before
I wring that neck."
