Note to Readers: Hey guys, it's been a loooooooooong time. I'm so sorry! I've just been so busy with school and everything. But today I had some extra time so I decided to update a bit. Hope you enjoy. : )
Kagome trudged out of the hut early the next morning. The sky was pale, as the sun had not completely risen yet. She had not a thought on the beauty of it though. Sharp pains were shooting throughout her body from her wounds. She could think of nothing else at such a time. Not even the hope of seeing her dear Inuyasha again.
Her mind had wandered so far that Kagome did not even realize it when Sesshomaru slowly approached her. He lightly touched her shoulder, causing her to jump. Happening so fast, Kagome was unable to keep her balance and she plunged to the ground.
"Get up. We must be moving if we wish to reach the Bone Eater's Well by nightfall." Sesshomaru stated gruffly.
Suddenly, Kagome's stomach plummeted from hearing the annoyance in Sesshomaru's voice. Not that it mattered. She had gotten used to him being kind to her. It had been too good to be true anyway, which is why she had to get back to Inuyasha and get away from Sesshomaru.
Kagome quickly jumped to her feet and shot a glare at Sesshomaru. He noticed out of the corner of his eye and looked away from her. Rage started to build up inside of her. The big jerk! He's not worried one bit about my health! Kagome continued to yell things about Sesshomaru in her mind as Rin and Jaken ran up to greet them. Rin offered Kagome a large rainbow colored fish, which she had been carrying with her. Kagome politely declined Rin's offer.
Sesshomaru spun around and glared at Kagome. "You need to nourish yourself. We do not to bargain time with another incident such as the one from the other day." He stated flatly.
Kagome did not know why but her face suddenly grew hot and tears tried to force themselves from their containment in her eyes. She shoved the fish and Rin away from her and ran off in the direction of the river that was nearby. Jaken and Rin watched closely, not knowing what was going on. Sesshomaru looked down at the ground, and realized for once in his life he was not annoyed with someone for disobeying him.
"Why did Lady Kagome run off like that?" Jaken asked out of curiosity.
Sesshomaru sighed and looked up, only to see Kagome disappear behind a section of trees by the river. "One word Jaken. Women." He replied.
Why is he suddenly doing this? What have I done to deserve this? All I want is to go home! I just want to get away from this wretched time and get away from all this pain... Why must I suffer so?
Kagome's tears caused ripples in the river as they hit the water. She was sitting down with her arms wrapped around her knees leaning over the water, staring at her rugged reflection. No matter what she did she would always be miserable. Maybe she would be happier if she would just give into the demands that men had. Then, at least one of them would be happy.
She stood up and slowly wiped the tears from her ashen face. She had decided. She would find her own way to the well, and then she would go home, never to return to this cursed time.
She backed up away from the river, acting as if something were about to jump out at her. Suddenly, she bumped into something and fell to the ground once again.
"If I did not know any better, I would say that you rather like it on the ground." Sesshomaru said sarcastically.
Kagome stood up and dusted herself off quickly, avoiding the urge to glance at Sesshomaru and fall into a trance from his beautiful golden eyes. "Not like you care." Kagome muttered under her breath. She took one quick glance at Sesshomaru and brushed past him.
Before she got out of reach, Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Let me go! I'm going home, and I don't need your help!" Kagome yelled at him.
Sesshomaru let go of Kagome and faced her. "You would not last on your own. Not bleeding like that anyway. The smell of blood attracts every type of demon there is on this planet."
"I'm not bleeding. Everything is bandaged up. The bleeding stopped last night." Kagome argued while pointing to the bandages that covered her body.
"Not that type of bleeding you silly girl." Sesshomaru said coldly.
Kagome paused and stood in shock thinking over what Sesshomaru had said. Her jaw dropped and she stared at him. "How did you know?" She asked breathlessly.
Sesshomaru pointed to his nose quickly, trying to avoid the conversation. "Dog demon, remember?" He asked flatly.
Kagome straightened up and tried to change the subject. "Why did you come here? Certainly not to comfort me. You've been a jerk to me all morning and I want to know why!"
Sesshomaru sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Is it so hard for you see? Certainly you are not that naive."
"I don't understand." Kagome said slowly.
"What happens when you stop bleeding? Wait, let me rephrase that. How do most women your age feel after they..." Sesshomaru continued until Kagome broke in.
"It's called a period Sesshomaru."
"Yes that. Now just think about what I said." Sesshomaru demanded eyeing Kagome carefully.
Kagome seemed to be in deep thought for a couple of minutes. After finally figuring it out, her face turned red out of embarrassment. "You mean this whole time that is what this was about? I mean I get what you're getting at, but you care about something as simple as that?"
Sesshomaru sighed and his head dropped to his chest to where he was looking straight at the ground. "I am no ... ordinary male. I may appear to merely be a human male, but I am truly a male dog demon. If your mind will let you remember correctly... dogs are more, shall we say, affectionate than humans are."
Kagome's face turned to a brighter red and she turned away from Sesshomaru. "I... I'm sorry for overreacting. I had no idea..."
"Quite the contrary, the fault was my own." Sesshomaru said quietly.
Kagome's face returned to it's normal color and she looked at Sesshomaru. She quickly thrust her hand out in front of her. "Friends?" She pleaded, beaming up at him.
Sesshomaru hesitated, and then grasped her hand with his own. "Friends..." He replied slowly, never thinking that that word would come from his mouth. "Now let us get you home." He said quickly.
Author's Note: I know that they were absolutely OOC but I had to add some comic relief to the beginning of it. It's just not like me to write something so... mean. So I had to make it funny. Anyway, I hope you liked it! And hopefully, I can update sooner than six months later. Please review!
