Kagome was exhausted physically and mentally, she had learned so much in one day, and her legs and arm muscles hurt from being in the same spot for so long.
"Sesshomaru, can you carry me to my bedroom?" Kagome holding onto the railing, he stared at her, he could smell the exhaustion pouring off of her in waves, the scent of tension also poured from her. Slowly he grabbed her up and carried her in his arms and orbed to her bedroom.
"Come you need to put your bathing suit on, this Sesshomaru is giving you some relaxation time tonight," Sesshomaru walking to the doorway,
"Sesshomaru, why were you so cold today?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, he looked out through his peripheral vision,
"Because you are a miko and this Sesshomaru is a yokai," Sesshomaru walking out and shutting the door.
~What does that have to do with anything?~ Kagome confused, she slowly undressed and put her bathing suit on, she had grew upset that he had made that comment, but went to greet him anyway. Sesshomaru could smell a smoky scent mixed with a rose scent.
~She is pissed at this Sesshomaru, but why?~ Sesshomaru confused as he stood there with his trunks on and some towels.
"I can walk just fine," Kagome growled out. As she stumbled and almost fell, Sesshomaru caught her and orbed down to the hot tub.
"I said I was fine, I am not some weak human," Kagome spat out,
"Kagome, what is your problem?" Sesshomaru trying to figure out why she was acting so deranged.
"You hate humans, isn't that what you were saying earlier, that you were yokai and I was miko, why else would you have said it," Kagome a bit testy. Sesshomaru shook his head no,
"Then why would you say something like that, I thought we were getting along great," Kagome confused. Sesshomaru grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her aggressively, Kagome was shocked, but she started kissing him back, he jerked away. Kagome savored the taste on her lips, Sesshomaru stared at her,
"Now, do you understand?" Sesshomaru strongly, Kagome jerked back into reality.
"I understand, we can not be together, it can't happen, all because of who we are," Kagome almost in a whisper,
"Come on," Sesshomaru leading her into the hot tub. Kagome sat across from him, she didn't know how to talk to him now, she figured she should apologize for blowing up so she did,
"I'm sorry Sesshomaru," Kagome glancing at him and adverting her eyes,
"There is nothing you should apologize for," Sesshomaru strongly, slowly he started rubbing her feet. Kagome leaned her head back on the side of the hot tub and groaned,
"This is a very nice gift, thank you Sesshomaru, and I have to apologize for blowing up, I had no idea that you felt the same way about me, as I do you," Kagome softly.
"I guess no one can help who they fall in love with," Sesshomaru thinking,
"Maybe like your father, your father seems happy with Izayoi and in my book Izayoi seems alright, you can't blame her for taking the spot of where your mother should be, just give her the chance, you told me to give them all one but you keep away from Izayoi," Kagome noticed.
"Do you know why this Sesshomaru stays away, do you know why my father spends so much time with her and us, its because she is dying, the healers keep giving her treatment but its not working, its called Cancer," Sesshomaru sighed as he stared at her foot. Kagome gasped,
"She can't die, maybe I can help," Kagome freaking, Sesshomaru smirked,
"Look at you, you are caring," Sesshomaru still rubbing her feet.
"I'm serious Sesshomaru, I have lost too many people that seemed to care about me, I wont stand for losing anyone else," Kagome a bit harshly.
"If the healers can not heal her what makes you think you can?" Sesshomaru working on Kagome's lower calf muscles.
"I am a miko and if I do carry this jewel then I should have the power to flush out the cancer, I've got to try, she is all I have ever known as a mother, she has been good to me," Kagome harshly to keep from exploding into tears. Sesshomaru understood perfectly of where she was coming from.
"This Sesshomaru will be nicer to her but he can not get close to her," Sesshomaru coldly.
"We wont lose her Sesshomaru," Kagome touching his crescent moon marking,
"There is no way you can make that promise," Sesshomaru not raising his voice but he didn't look at her either. When they finished in the hot tub Sesshomaru orbed Kagome to her room,
"Change out of your swimming suit and lie on your stomach on the bed and wrap the blanket around you, this Sesshomaru has something that will relax your muscles," Sesshomaru shutting the door. Kagome nodded and did as she was told. When Sesshomaru knocked on the door, Kagome opened it, Sesshomaru stood there and stared her down at her wearing the silk crimson sheet around her body. Sesshomaru cleared his throat and stepped in the room, Kagome went and laid down on her bed, Sesshomaru shut and locked the door. Slowly he took his long sleeved buttoned up shirt off and only wore his silk black pajama pants, he proceeded with rubbing a type of a strong smelling lotion onto his hands and cloaked himself as a human so his claws would be kept out of the way.
"Put your arms down by your side," Sesshomaru ordered, Kagome silently put her arms down by her side.
"I'm sorry if I upset you earlier," Kagome grunted in pleasure as he rubbed her sore leg muscles,
"Forget about it, just clear your mind and relax," Sesshomaru tired of talking. Kagome cleared her mind or tried to anyways but she thought about Izayoi's sickness. Sesshomaru was finished with her legs and moved to her lower back but not before pulling a blanket up over her butt and legs then he pulled the silk sheet back and put some lotion on his hands and rubbed her lower back, Kagome fell asleep during the process, Sesshomaru finished up with her arms and shoulders. Gently he pulled the covers up over her back so she wouldn't get cold, he laid down beside of her to watch her sleep.
~She is becoming apart of this family, it's a shame she will lose another person that really does care.~ Sesshomaru thought to himself as he gently pushed her hair back after removing the cloak from himself.
