Chapter 11
She pretended to be asleep for a week when the visitors came; saying that they, especially Sango and Souta will scream at him more if she was awake. The doctor had informed that she was healing fast and should be awake anytime soon and Sesshoumaru had to pretend to be the most relieved of them all, for he was the only one aware that she had already did. The devices attached to her were fully removed, and the bandages left were on her legs and arms. She drank some water occasionally but refused to eat anything.
On the fifth night, after he locked the doors and crawled into the bed beside her, he told her why he never returned.
"I saw you and your brothers at the amusement park," he whispered quietly, holding her close in his arms. "It never occurred to me that they were actually your siblings, not your husband or boyfriend and child."
She choked at that. "W-What? Souta? Husband? Did it really appear like that?" she asked, trying hard to cease her laughter.
"Yes," he nodded solemnly. "From the way he greeted you, his hand on your waist… I truly thought he was."
She bit her blanket, willing herself to stop laughing. "And there I was—wondering every single second why you didn't came."
"I am sorry," he all but said.
"That's why Souta kept yelling at you. Don't worry; I'm going to have a good talk with him in few days."
"Do not scold him. His words did make sense to me."
"It doesn't matter anymore, Sesshoumaru," she sighed softly, "All that matters is I have you by my side now and I'm content with that."
"As do I," he replied and caught her lips in a deep kiss.
