To Have Loved Him
Chapter 3
The Value of Respect
By: 12stoneswithin
Summary: You never quite know what life has instore for you but sometimes it's better not knowing.
" Why would he do that for me ?"
"He brought them back because ye earned his respect and in demon society that means a great deal." looking at me she begins to make tea. " During the battle ye showed him that ye were worthy of his respect. Ye stood proud and strong in the face of adversity. Ye fought with all ye had and ultimately proved to him that ye were his equal. It is because of ye that your friends and soon to be mate are among the living." Keade had no reason to lie but even so what could I have done that would impress him so much?
" Keade I don't remember the battle in it of itself all I can remember is almost suffocating in a cloud of miasma and being saved by someone." putting my head in my hands and leaning forward I can feel my headache returning."I don't even know who saved me." Tapping me on the shoulder she waits patiently for me to look up and kindly hands me a tea cup.
"Ye should speak with him and ask him what happened. For only he will have the answers ye seek. However, I would do so without telling your future mate he might not be too fond of the idea." even in her old age she can still manage to know exactly what I need even when I myself haven't a clue what to do.
" I don't know when I would have the time. I still have a lot of finishing touches I have to take care of before the mating. On top of that Inuyasha most likely won't let me out of his sight until we've mated because he says it leaves me open to other males."
"Child, if ye wish to speak with Sesshomaru I will help ye all ye have to do is ask." looking into her old wise eyes I feel a sense of relief almost as if a burden has been lifted from my shoulders.
" I want to speak with him so that I might be able to find myself again." hugging her is the only thing keeping me grounded from my other worldly excitement.
" Then ye will speak with him. Let me take care of everything and ye relax until I signal ye that it is time." pushing me an arms length away she looks into my face as only a mother would. " The signal will be me telling you that there will be no training today do you think you can remember that ? "
"I can remember that no problem."
"Now go before Inuyasha comes looking for you" As I leave her home I can't help but look forward to my meeting with Sesshomaru.
