Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha YET
Sesshomaru opened the door and walked into his bedroom, his eyes widen in shock at what he saw. There was Kagome in his bed, and she was sleeping! It wasn't a light sleep either it was a deep slumber, for the first time in day's Sesshomaru relaxed. Walking over to the bed his foot bumped something on the floor, bending down he examined the object. It was the notebook he had given her, opening to the first page her found that she had written in it. The poem she wrote was great, it seemed that she really had some talent. Setting the notebook on the nightstand he looked at the sleeping Kagome. She looked beautiful; she looked so peacefully as she slept. Her face was almost totally healed; the only thing that could be seen was the faint bruise under her right eye. Shaking his head he remembered why he had come in to the bedroom, it had been 2 weeks and she had to return to her family today. They were no doubt worried about her, and would be relieved to see her safe and sound. He placed his arm on her shoulder and shook it gently. When she did not wake up he decided that she looked too peaceful, he would tell her when she woke up.
Kagome opened her eyes and stretched, she felt better. The pain was still there but it seemed as if it had died down somewhat. At least enough for her to venture out of the room she had occupied for the past 2 weeks. It took a lot of courage for her to walk out; she was leaving the safety of the dark room. After what seemed like ages she reached the door, her hand trembled as she reached for the doorknob. She wanted to run back to the safety of the bed but something stopped her, something inside her say that she could do it. So quickly she grabbed the handle and pulled the door open. A bright light made her squint, but soon she became use to the light. Looking around she saw a small living room; it was small but very cozy. Looking around she found what she was searching for; there on the couch was Sesshomaru, staring back at her.
Sesshomaru had been reading on the couch trying to think of away to tell Kagome that she had to leave today, and what her reaction would be. He was going to go in and wake her up when he heard the soft padding of feat in the other room, and then the door opened and there stood Kagome.
"Good morning Sesshomaru," Said Kagome quietly. As she slowly walked over to the couch.
"Good morning, it's good to see you out bed," he replied. " Sit down," Motioning to the Black leather Lazy boy behind her.
" I want to thank you again for all that you have done for me," she said as she sat down in the chair.
" Your welcome, I have to tell you something Kagome," he said calmly.
Kagome froze when she heard this, and panic started to grip her. Taking a deep breath, she just nodded not trusting her self to speak.
"It's nothing bad," he quickly assured her when he saw the panic enter her face, " Kagome you have been here with me for 2 weeks now, and you have to go home now,"
You have to go home now…. Those words repeated themselves over and over again in her mind. She didn't want to leave, but she knew she had to. She couldn't burden Sesshomaru any longer, it wasn't fair to him.
" Ok," she quietly replied. Getting up she went to the bedroom and shut the door behind her. Leaning against the door for support Kagome couldn't help but feel sad. She didn't want to leave, she felt safe here with Sesshomaru. Feeling her knee's weaken, she slid down the door and onto the floor. She didn't know how to react to this new information, she wanted to see her family but, she also wanted to stay here, even though she knew it wasn't possible for her to stay. Gathering up all her courage, she stood up and went over to the table where her notebook and pen were. She opened the book to write something but she couldn't. she didn't know what to write everything was to jumbled up. After looking at the blank page for a little while she closed it with a sigh. She just had to except the fact that Sesshomaru didn't want her here, and that it was time for her to leave.
Taking a deep breath she turned around and walked out of the room. Sesshomaru was nowhere to be seen, but from the aroma coming from the kitchen it was obvious that he was cooking. Walking into the kitchen she saw that he was boiling water for ramen.
Seeing Kagome walk into the kitchen, he filled the 2 cups of ramen with boiling water and brought it over to where see was standing.
" Your family is worried about you Kagome," He said as he handed her the cup of ramen.
"I miss them a lot," she replied and she took the cup of ramen.
"I'm sure you do, it's been 2 weeks since you've seen each other," he said, " After lunch we'll leave."
" Umm, Sesshomaru what happened to my school uniform?" she hadn't seen the outfit since she arrived and woke up in Sesshomaru clothing.
" It was ruined so I threw it away," he said calmly. Kagome started to cough violently when she heard this.
"Wh..what, why…" Kagome stopped in mid sentence, of course it would be ruined it had been on the day Sesshomaru found her. Moaning Kagome set her cup of ramen down on the table and walked into the living room.
"What's wrong?" Sesshomaru didn't know why the loss of one uniform would cause her such grief. The school gave each student 3 uniforms at the beginning of each school year, and you could always buy another one if you needed to. "Don't you have another uniform?
" No I don't, all my other ones were ruined." She said this so softly that Sesshomaru had to strain to catch them and even with his sensitive ears it was hard for him to catch. He didn't ask how they got ruined it was obvious, they were ruined when she got beat up by Kikyo.
"Come on I'll take you home now," he said as he walked to the door.
Nodding Kagome followed him, she was going home now. It took them 15 minutes to walk to the ancient shrine her family lived on. Neither spoke during the walk, so an uneasy silence fell between them.
When they arrived at the shrine gate Kagome turned around and faced Sesshomaru.
"Thank you for taking care of me, I'll wash your clothes and return them to you tomorrow at school." Kagome mumble.
" Sure, and sorry for throwing out your uniform, I didn't think," he replied.
"It's ok," turning her head Kagome looked up the steps to where her home was, and then looked at Sesshomaru in the eyes. "Good- bye Sesshomaru."
" Good-bye Kagome," he softly replied stared back into her eyes.
A blush made it's way into Kagome's cheeks, feeling it she turned and started running up the steps, determined not to cry.
Sighing Sesshomaru turned and walked back to his apartment. Maybe now that she was gone he could relax, and finally get started on the huge pile of homework that awaited him at home.
" MOM, SOUTA, GRANDPA, I'M HOME!" Kagome yelled as she walked into her house.
" Kagome your back," said her mother. " We've been worried about you, are you ok honey?"
"I'm fine mom, I just had an accident and a friend took care of me," She quickly lied, hoping that Sesshomaru hadn't told her mother why she wouldn't be returning home for 2 weeks.
"That's what the school told us," Her mother answered, as she walked toward her and pulled her into a hug.
" M..Mother are you ok?" Kagome stuttered, she could feel tears start to soak into the shirt she was wearing.
" I was so worried about you Kagome, I thought that something terrible had happened to you. I'm just so glad that you've returned to us." Her mother sobbed, after a couple of minutes her mother seemed to regain her composer and let her daughter go. "where's your uniform?"
" It got ruined in the accident, I'll have to buy another set from the school tomorrow." Kagome said " I'll go pick up a set as soon as I get there." Yawning she looked at mother. " I think I'm going to go take a shower and than go to bed"
Her mother nodded and moved out of her way. "I'll make sure that grandpa and Souta leave you alone,"
" Where are they?" She asked as she noticed for the first time that neither had come to say hello her.
" Souta's at Sutoru's house, he's been spending a lot of time with him since he came out of the coma. And Grandpa is out looking at some supposed magical item."
"Ok thanks mom I appreciate it," Kagome sat as she ran up the stairs to the bathroom. She sighed as she felt the warm water hit her face and body, it was so great to be home. She stayed in the shower until the water ran cold then reluctantly got out. Drying her self off with a towel she looked at Sesshomaru's clothes on the floor. Looking at the she remembered that she had to wash them and return the nest day. Picking them up she exited the bathroom.
"MOM," She yelled from the top of the stairs.
" What?" her mom called up to her as she came to the landing to see what her daughter wanted.
" Could you wash these for me? I promised Sesshomaru that I would wash and return them to him tomorrow." She called down.
" Sure throw them down." Her mother called to her.
"Thanks mom you're the best," she said as she dropped the clothes over the railing to her mother, then she walked into her room, and collapsed on her bed. Soon she fell asleep.
Sesshomaru sighed as he walked into him apartment, it was so quiet with Kagome. Ignoring the large pile of homework on his desk Sesshomaru walked in his room. As he did something caught his eye on the floor was Kagome's notebook. 'she must have forgot it here. I'll return it to her tomorrow at school.' Picking up the notebook and setting it on his desk, he walked over to him bed and closed his eyes. Even before he had a chance to take of his clothes he was asleep. His dreams filled with images of Kagome.
