Chapter 3: The whisper to the little girl

"Sesshomaru? Welcome home." A gentle voice of a woman greeted him. It was Sesshomaru's mother, Luna.
"Yes..."
"Oh, my! Where's all that bloodstain from? Did you fight again?"
Sesshomaru kept his silence while walking up the stairs. No one understood him. No one. That was the reason why he was so afraid of having close friends. Afraidof what they'll find out, afraid of what they'll do to him...Afraid.
"Ne, Sango. Who's Sesshomaru?"
"Uh, he's-"
A loud crash was heard in front of them, and a boy with silver hair, the one who bumped into Kagome, landed on his back.
" ugh..."
"That's him." Sango whispered. Sesshomaru just walked away.
"Hey! Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled, running to catch him up. Sango dropped her jaw in disbelief.
He only looked back with his irritated look, and Kagome only could speak out his name once more, not knowing what to say.
Sesshomaru started to look at her from head to toe, and stopped at her neck when he saw the cresent moon necklace. He gripped it.
"This necklace...where did you get it?" He frowned in disbelief, pulling her necklace harder.
" A-a boy gave it to me...the one with silver hair like yours..." She said almost in whisper, making Sesshomaru's eyes go wider. He frowned again, and letting go of the necklae, he ran.
"Wha-what's wrong with him?"
"No clue." Sango shuddered.
Gasp..huff..huff..
Sesshomaru leaned at the front gate, gasping for breath. He laid his hand on the iron gate. His long nails made a scratching sound as he pulled his fingers up and made a fist.
'I rather hoped...to never see her again...'
Kagome thought over how Sesshomaru reacted when he heard Kagome answering. She was beginning to worry why he did that. Why he had those glittering golden eyes...why he had those long silver hair..
She retraced the memories of hers containing the memory of that mysterious boy...It was somehow painful, retracing a now dead memory.
Rrrrr-Rrrrr-
She picked up the phone slowly, answering with a helpless tone.
"hello?"
Kagome? This is Sango. You looked pale, so I called to check on you... Are you all right?
"I'm fine... Thanks... I was just tired."
Hm...oh, and be careful. All the girls are out for you!
"huh? why?"
'Cause, you know, that Sesshomaru guy you bumped into? The fanclub of his are mad at you just bacause you bumped into him!
"Oooooooooooh..." She slumped down helplessly, sighing. She thought she was just getting along with her new classmates, but now this.She
couldn't help but sighing.
Kagome? Get a grip, girl!"
"I'll talk to you later. bye."

Kagome tucked her knees, pulling out the silver nacklace. She looked at it helplessly, and let it go. It fell like a useless piece of string, pleading for thr return of triumph just a while ago on Kagome's fingers. She sobbed silently, not able to hold back tears. They were flowing without reason.
One of droplets of tears caught the silver cresent moon and dangled there for a while. Then it let go, lack of strenght.
Kagome was not the girl whol shouted at the boys who picked on his brother, nor the girl who introduced herself bravely in front of her claamates; she was just a little girl, scared by booming thunder...
She was just a little girl.
Whisper
"Ahh! I See! So he's a senpai at our school?"
"Yeah. His lastname is unknown...but he is a senior. Well, for us, that is."
" 'Kay. Thanks, Sango."
"Anytime."

Kagome sighed with delight. Finally. Finally she met someone with a memory of the silver necklace. Perhaps this Sesshomaru was a brother or friend of the boy's...? Kagome was very happy. The melancholy that seemed to be surrounding her was nowhere to be seen. Now warm caress of the midday sun was delicatly touching her.
Kagome bit her lower lip, stopping the scream that was about to burst out of her mouth.
Finally... I can get the mystery solved. And I'll find that boy... or he's a guy now.
She walked toward the bookshelf, reaching for a old storybook once most beloved by her. The sleeping beauty... She could feel her heart being filled with delight again, sweet pain of waiting spreading through her body. She felt so light-headed. She felt like...she was floating in the mere air.
She could imagine a beatiful prince kneeling beside her, taking her hand to slightly caress his lips. She could feel it all... Every pain being erased from her memory that ever existed. Blank-minded, only thinking about the beautiful prince in white horse...only hers. She was not a princess nor a daughter of nobleman, more or less not a high position.
Still, she felt sweet venom spreading over her body like she had just been hit by Cupid's golden arrow of love.
She could feel it...
Sesshomaru was sitting in his bed, leaning on the wall. He held something out... a silver necklace, that seemed to have a missing piece. With his thin fingers, he drew a cresent moon beside the necklace's oval-shaped hanging.
"The missing piece..."
Unlike his feminine appearance, his voice was deep and masculine, yet it was intoxicating. He lookes at the melancholy with somewhat melancholy, his face showing no expression of it. Though his half-closed, catlike golden eyes showed likes of them.
Someone knocked, and he quickely hid the piece into his bedsheet. It was his mother, Luna.
"Sesshomaru-kun...? Are you all right? You didn't eat any dinner..."
Sesshomaru nodded, withdrawing his eyes from the unexpected visitor. Luna smiled, seeing his pale, thin fingers searching inside the bedsheet for the silver belonging. His mother giggled softly like a little girl.
"Yasamaru san is coming home next Wednesday. He just called."
"Father...?" Sesshomaru said in almost a whisper, quickly turning his head to face Luna. His long hair streamed in that rapid action. Luna smiled warmly like the sunlight, and nodded.
"Goodnight, Setsu-kun." She said.
"Father's coming home..." He said in small voice which ony he could hear.
A/N
Hello, here I am again. Thank you for the wonderful reviews. Those are why I enjoy being an authoress. A lot of people said to lenghten the chapters, so here it is, one lenghty chapter. Or is it? I combined two chapters together to make a bigger one. I have no idea how long I should make this to be, so tell me, please. Oh, and someone(I don't remember his/her penname...) said how could I call Sesshomaru a freak... Well, explanation for that is one of my secret plans to make Sesshomaru like Kagome more than ever. There you go, you have it now(smile). Please read and review.
