Chapter 10
She stared at him before opening her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He attempted to get her some water for her dried throat when her fingers pinched his sleeves, preventing him to leave. She tried again, and again, until his name came out in soft whisper.
"Sesshoumaru…."
A tear fell from the corner of his eyes to her cheek. "I'm sorry, Kagome. I shouldn't have left you."
She tried to speak again, but this time nothing came out.
"You really need some water. Wait." He reached for a bottle of water, drinking a gulp before gently kissed her lips and pushing the water down slowly.
She gave him a brief lick on his lips when he pulled away and tried again. "You came."
"Yes."
She stared at his tears smeared beautiful face, moving her bandaged arm to wipe his face clean. "Don't cry, Sesshoumaru," she whispered softly.
The distance between them closed again when he leaned in and they kissed. "I missed you so much," she whispered. "I thought I was dreaming…."
He wiped a tear away furiously. "I promise I will never leave you again, Kagome."
She smiled and gestured him to come closer. Her fingers traced his soft skin. "I'm not dreaming, right? Right, Sesshoumaru?"
"No," he agreed, holding to her hand tightly. "No, you are not. Everything is real, Kagome, just as real as you and I."
She nodded before her eyelid slid close. He smiled and pecked her softly. "Sleep well, my beloved."
