Time Heals All

Chapter : 8

Kagome sat against the wall, a little girl in her arms and a puppy at her feet. She smiled down at the little girl and pulled her closer. Rin shifted in her sleep and found a comfortable position.

Rin

Opening her eyes, the little girl blinked a few times and looked up at the sleeping Kagome. Looking around the room she saw the clock. It was almost five, which meant everyone would soon be home. She was about to go back to sleep when she heard a familiar voice call Kagome's name from downstairs.

Quickly crawling out of Kagome's arms she ran to the door to find Sesshoumaru standing there.

"Rin, where's Kagome?"

"She's sleeping. Sesshou..."

"Get your stuff, Rin. I'm going to go talk to Kagome before we go." Sesshoumaru cut off Rin's next words.

Obeying she ran down the hall and up the stairs.

Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru watched as the little girl ran down the hall towards the stairs and disappearing up them. He looked around the room before making his way down the hall and up the stairs.

Passing all doors but the third from the stairs on the left side, he looked into the room to see Kagome sleeping with her back against the wall. He walked into the room and as he neared the sleeping angel, he noticed a dark mark covering the whole left side of her cheek.

A frown graced Sesshoumaru's features as he reached out and caressed her bruised cheek. Her eyes slowly opened and met with his unusual gold ones.

"What happened?" he asked.

"It... It's nothing."

"Rin!"

"Sesshoumaru..."

"Yes?"

Sesshoumaru looked at the little girl, "what happened to Kagome?"

"Rin, Kagome, and Reimei were playing outside today. Inuyasha came to visit Kagome while we were outside and Kagome told Rin to go inside. Rin went inside and watched from the door as Inuyasha started to yell at Kagome. Then Inuyasha hit Kagome and Rin screamed and ran to her."

Sesshoumaru looked back at Kagome, his eyes demanding. He watched as her bangs covered her eyes and she slowly nodded in agreement with Rin's story.

"I will stay for the night, and tomorrow I will leave with Rin."

Kagome

Kagome sat on the hill just behind her house, watching the stars. She had left the house just after supper. She couldn't stand it in there, it was so quiet.

She had told her mother about the bruise, knowing Sesshoumaru would have done it for her. Her mother then told the rest of the family.

She glanced back at the house to see all the lights were off. She looked at her watch and then back at the stars, it was already midnight.

The image of Inuyasha slapping her kept on playing itself over and over in her head. A tear ran down her cheek, never had she thought Inuyasha would strike her. Soon tear after tear made its way down her cheeks, and she silently wept.

"A fallen angel weeps for the wings she lost."

Kagome quickly wiped her eyes as Sesshoumaru sat down beside her. Once done she glanced over at him, his golden eyes staring up at the stars.

He then looked into her eyes and she stared into those golden pools. Those golden eyes, so much a like yet not even close to those of Inuyasha's.

While Inuyasha's held deciet, lies, and betrayal, his held love, kindness, and truth. Sighing she looked up to the sky once again.

"I was born a wingless angel."

Sesshoumaru kept his gaze on Kagome. He reached over and cupped her chin, he then made her looking into his eyes.

"Perhaps, you just haven't found them yet."

Kagome once again stared into his golden eyes. Her heart starting to race as the distance between them was slowly closing. His lips met hers and the warmth filled her heart, she slowly started to kiss back. This time she knew this was what she wanted, this time she was ready to admit who she really was in love with.

He pulled away from her and she looked up into his eyes, in her eyes he saw fear of rejection. A smile graced his lips and he leaned forward and took her lips with his once again.

Holy crap! I haven't updated this in such a long time! I am sooo sorry about that. I give you another chapter and hope you liked it. Don't worry, Time Heals All isn't finished yet. I think it will be at least fifteen chapters... or less... or more lol. Oh and about Promise Me, I just got some good ideas and am currently jotting them down and trying to put together the next three or four chapters. I will have chapter eleven up for you soon, along with the others. I think that one will be at least twenty-five chapters, perhaps even more. But please be patient with me, I am trying my best in getting chapters updated on that one.
