Chapter 17:

Sesshomaru watched as Yunia hung her head and walked with Rin. HE had walked in just as they stopped talking. He sat on the branch until they noticed him there and Yunia looked up with a strange look in her eye.

It was not happiness, or hate it was….

Confusion

He jumped down as Rin pulled Yunia over and hugged Sesshomaru's leg while holding onto Yunia's hand. As Rin let go Yunia just looked at him then shook her head and turned to walk away but Rin kept her from leaving.

Sesshomaru watched as Rin walked off but he asked Yunia to stay once more, Rin skipped with Jaken away as Yunia stood there in the middle of the field, staring at the sky.

"So…Why did you leave once more?" However, she got nothing but Sesshomaru's silence and his footsteps. He walked next to her and looked up at the sky wondering what she was doing.

"You know how you stare at the moon…Well when I want to relax I stare at the clouds….Now I know why you stare at the moon, It's a habit" she stated as blankly and emotionless as she could. He looked back to her then began walking.

Yunia followed Sesshomaru a few steps behind and one-step beside him. She sighed as they had done this before.

"What did I do wrong now?" she pleaded as she walked up next to him with her hands behind her back, he arched a brow but did not look at her.

"Last time we did this little walk you were mad for me disobeying you…So what did I do wrong"

"Just be quiet" he whispered as she blinked and stopped dead then walked fast up next to him as she looked at him then ahead as she guessed why he was the way he was.

"Sesshomaru…Please tell me what I did wrong…It feels weird you being mad at me again" she whispered as she put her hands to her neck and felt her cold fingers against her neck. He saw this as a sigh passed his lips, and he grabbed her right hand with his left.

"This is what is bothering me…,"He groaned as he griped her hand gently and she blinked from him to her hand and back again. She then realized that Sesshomaru was thinking about what had happened,

"Its just holding hands…it means nothing," she whispered as he continued to walk with her hand in his. His face still towards the sky.

"Unless…here holding hands means something more then I should…" She questioned herself as she continued to think.

Yunia looked and saw Sesshomaru just rolled his eyes as she looked at the hands.

"Please tell me…I feel so stupid but…This kind of stuff was never my strong point," she pleaded as he let a sigh out and pulled her hand up to her face with his in it. She saw her hand and her nails had one or two drops of blood from his hand because of the stitches but nothing out of the ordinary.

"Did I hurt you?"
"No…" he stopped and looked down at her as she stared at their hands then her eyes went wide.

"OHHH….Your worried the rumor will get out about the doctor calling us mates….well why didn't you just say that in the first-" he put a finger to her mouth

"No…" he whispered as she groaned and looked at him and pushed his finger from her mouth.

"Then what? Please tell me because you killing me here because im dence to the whole problem…So we held hands…I was scared but it was either me hold you hand or have a death grip to your arm…You chose holding hands" she explained as he looked at her eyes once more and saw she was just as Innocent as Rin, Clueless too.

He just continued walking as he let their hands hang and she looked at it,

"AH COME ON!" she cried and looked at him

"Your not going to let me hang on this are you?" she finished with a whined as he just smirked. Just enough to make her groan

"Ah, come on man….Im stupid, im clueless I get it but fill me in….This is going to tare me up inside as long as you don't tell me" she cried but he said nothing, he just kept walking with her hand in his. She looked back when she heard a giggle and saw Rin at the Field entrance giggling and Jaken with his jaw to the floor.

Yunia grew a blush quickly and turned back around, as the giggling got louder and Sesshomaru let go of her hand. She looked at her feet and held her hand, as a blush grew faster across her face. Sesshomaru stood in front of her as she looked up, he smirked a little bigger,

"You'll have to figure it out on your own," he whispered in her ear as he walked past her and down toward Jaken and Rin as Yunia just stood there. Her cheeks red and her eyes wide. She looked back and just saw him walking away towards Rin and Jaken as she turned and ran to catch up.
