Saved by Sesshomaru
Ch.7
-I'm guessing you're feeling better Kagome?-
-A little bit. Am I sleeping?-
-Does it seem that way?-
-All I see is darkness.-
-You're in a coma-like state so it's as if you're sleeping.-
-Oh. Rin was reading to me this morning.-
-Yes, she was.-
-Thanks for coming to say good night to me yesterday.-
-…you heard me?-
-Since I can't see anything I've been listening to everything. I can still check on Rin. You always seem to be in your study, it's not very hard to find you.-
-Why would you want to check on me?-
-I want to make sure you don't leave.-
-I said that to you when I first brought you here.-
-What you say can and might be used against you.-
-I have paperwork to do. I will talk to you later.- Sesshy ends their conversation, gets up and leaves Kagome's room. He goes to his study, sits at his desk and starts going through stacks of paper. 15 minutes later he's drawing on a piece of paper.
-I don't think doodling is considered paperwork.-
-Are you going to report me Lady Kagome?-
-Do you think I should?-
-Who would you report me to? I am the Lord.-
-Khan.-
-Don't even think about it. That wolf badgers me enough.-
-Too late!-
Khan comes walking into the room. –Damn it!-
"My Lady wishes for you to go see her."
"Huh?" –I thought he was going to reprimand me, oh well.-
"I've also been informed that you are dying of boredom. Go see Lady Kagome."
"I suppose I could take a break…"
"Go see your mate Sesshomaru!"
"Alright! Calm down… shesh."
"I suggest you get moving." Khan starts to poke Sesshy.
"I'm going damn you!" Sesshy hurries out of the room.
-You're such an instigator Khan.-
-I sure am my Lady. If I didn't bug him nothing would get done right the first time. I'm like his living conscience.-
-I do love him.-
-I know. He's just too damn blind to see that himself.-
-Lol. He should just accept his new life.-
-He told you the same thing before.-
-And I listened. He just needs to listen.-
-He did kill Ryu. Sesshomaru was so pissed off when he saw how bad your condition was. He can be very protective of you when he doesn't think about what he's saying. I find it quite amusing.-
Sesshy walks into Kagome's room and kneels beside her bed. "Between you and Khan I don't know who's out to get me. And Khan is a royal pain in the ass! Anywho, why did you take that blow meant for me? I can take a fatal blow better then you can."
"Because… I care." He looks up at Kagome, having been staring at the floor. Her eyes are slightly open and she's looking right at him.
"Kagome…"
"I heal faster then normal humans. I'm a miko remember?" She reaches out to him but her hand can't make it and it falls. Sesshy instinctively catches her hand, holding it in his own.
"But you are still weak. You need to rest." He gets up to leave, still holding her hand.
"Please don't leave me?" She gently grips his hand.
"I'll be back to see you tomorrow, my room is just next door."
"If you will not stay, at least take me outside tomorrow?"
"I'll take you outside myself, how's that?"
"Ok." Her hand goes limp in his and her eyes close. Khan walks in, seeing Sesshomaru holding Kagome's hand.
"I told you that you liked her."
"She woke up."
"I know. She fought the darkness around her to find you. She wanted to see you so badly that she fought the pain until she had no choice but to sleep."
"Is she ok enough that I can take her outside tomorrow?"
"I suppose you could. She can't walk yet though, you'd have to carry her."
"Fine, I'll take her out in the afternoon." Sesshy goes to his own room and shuts the door.
"You're just as stubborn as your father, Sesshomaru. Your mother taught him to care and be gentle, just like Lady Kagome is doing for you. It was that human woman egging your father on, like a fish on a hook; that was his downfall. Inuyasha wouldn't have been born had that woman not ensnared your father. Lady Kagome is not a human, yet she's not a demon either, that is why we all like her; besides her wonderful and beautiful personality. The two of you are perfect for each other."
(The next day.)
"Khan?"
"My Lady, I just came to check on you. How do you feel?"
"Numb, like a ragdoll."
"Can you move at all?"
"My legs are still paralyzed."
"Besides that?"
"The pain hurts."
"Well you had some nice wounds. I would assume you'd be in pain."
"Do you think I'll be able to walk tomorrow?"
"With how well and how fast you're healing, it's quite possible."
"Don't tell Sesshy, please."
"I wouldn't worry about that, I want to see the surprise on his face."
(That afternoon.)
"Where would you like to go Lady Kagome?" Sesshy stands beside her bed.
"Can we go to the gardens?" She's sitting on her bed in a black kimono with red designs.
"As you wish." He picks her up and carries her outside. He gently sets her down on a bench. "I should be doing paperwork right now."
"Oh please, you can spare me one afternoon."
"I actually do have important paperwork that needs to get done."
"Does it look like I care Sesshy? You at least owe me this afternoon."
"I brought you outside myself, just like I said I would."
-Don't you DARE leave Lady Kagome Sessshomaru!-
WTF? Leave me alone Khan!-
-You leave her and I'll make you pay for it!-
-What is your problem?-
-She loves you, you dimwit!-
-She only cares for Rin.-
-HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU? Spend time with her you bastard and see if you're still blind after that!-
Sesshomaru turn to leave only to find that she has hold of his tail. He tries to release her hold on his tail but his tail instinctively wraps itself around her waist. –Bloody thing has a mind of its own.- He tries to call it back unsuccessfully. –Damn it!-
"Please stay with me?" Kagome looks directly at him.
"Fine." He sits down next to her, still trying to call his tail back.
"Thank you!" Kagome hugs him.
-What the hell does she think she's doing!-
-She's hugging you dipshit!-
-Khan what and why are you doing this?-
-To torment you. It's fun.-
-Damn tail.-
-Cool Sesshomaru can't call back fluffy! Sweet!-
-Shut up!-
-Technically I'm not talking.-
-Then stop telepathically talking.-
-…No.-
-Damn it listen to your Lord!-
-Not if he swears.-
-Grr.-
-See you later.-
"Stupid Khan…" Sesshy says and starts to growl.
"What about him?" She pauses. "I think he is nice."
"He's the most insufferable person I've ever known."
"Well you're the stubbornest so I think you tow are even." He voice is a little bit muffled because she is still holding onto him.
"It's all your fault. If you did not stay so long he wouldn't have had time to accept you."
"No, it's not my fault, it's yours. Do not forget Sesshy, you're the one who brought me here and locked me inside these gates in the first place. So if you're going to get upset with someone, be angry with yourself."
"… are you going to let go?"
"Nope. Not until I get a hug." –If he will not willingly admit he likes me I'll force him.-
sigh. Sesshy wraps his arms around Kagome, holding her close. "Are you happy now?"
She looks up at him. "Content."
"Why aren't you happy?"
"Why do you speak as if commanding?"
"Why don't you answer my question?"
"Why do you deny everything?"
"Why are you being a pest?"
"Why are you avoiding answering me?"
"Why should I give you an answer?"
"Why shouldn't you?"
"Why do you have to hug me?"
"Why do you let me?"
"Why don't you let go?"
"Why don't you do something about it?"
"…Why are you being so difficult?"
"Why are you being so damn blind?"
"Why don't you stop asking questions?"
"Why don't you start answering them?"
"Why do you annoy me?"
"Why don't you admit defeat?"
"Why are you arguing with me?"
"Why don't you give up?"
"Why do you talk back?"
"Why don't you do something to shut me up?"
"Why don't you stop bickering with me?"
"Why don't you admit your feelings to yourself?"
"Why do you always have to agree with Kahn?"
"Why don't you listen to him?"
"Why aren't you silent?"
"Why haven't you rejected holding me?"
"… Oh what the hell!"
"I told you to give up peacefully while you were still slightly ahead."
"Beside Khan you are the only one in this castle who dares to fight back. Why aren't you insignificant like all the other females?"
"I wouldn't be me if I didn't express myself."
"…You did a nice job on Ryu while I was away."
"Heh." She looks up at Sesshy. "I had some inspiration."
Rosie hater: I hope you enjoyed Ch. 7!
