Chpt26: Watching Over Me
Kagome POV
I was right, Sesshoumaru was not at all happy with the dreams that I have received. Dark was clutching my hand in his as he stood beside me. I have seen Sesshoumaru's temper at its worst and this is not the worst.
Sighing, I half laid back against Dark for support. The past few nights of being unable to get a proper dreamless sleeps seems have taken a bad toll on my concentration and movement. This in turns makes my training to be more languid and never once am I able to train to my full potential was what I thought.
The feeling of Dark's arm around my shoulders to draw me closer to him, it was comforting and I felt myself lulled to sleep as my head keep on nodding away and my eyes are getting heavier and heavier. With Dark nudging me every now and then to keep me awake, of course did not went unnoticed by my Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had stopped talking long ago. In fact he had stop talking ever since I had started to nod away, supporting on Dark to stand upright.
Unknown to me, both Dark and Sesshoumaru's eyes met and has the same worried expressed in their eyes. Moments like these I will usually tease Sesshoumaru about the emotion he hardly ever shows in front of others. However I, my eyelids felt heavy and I felt my strength leaving me. Swaying dangerously from side to side, I only remember falling down to the ground losing my senses just as my body made contact with the ground.
Dark was the first to quickly reacted and caught me mere a mere inch or so before my body hit the ground. Sesshoumaru was also by my side in a flash and was supporting my head in the crook of his arm while Dark was supporting my back. I wish I was able to watch them both at the moment, but I was by then unconscious and a nauseating feeling of dizziness overcame me even in my unconscious state.
Both of them were worried from what their aura could tell and judging from the servants that will often stopped by to peek in on what is happening, surprisingly went unnoticed by Sesshoumaru. I remembered when in the Sengoku Jidai, Sesshoumaru would always be able to identify when someone was approaching the room he is in. Only now I guess his full attention is all diverted on me.
I could not say anything less about Dark. He has been by my side tending to me. I heard from Sesshoumaru that he never once slept in fear that something will be amiss, and it was also Dark who will drip water on my dried and cracked lips to provide me with some moisture.
Though it was only three days later that I awoke from the long sleep, to see Dark's upper half of the body leaning by my bed side while the lower half of his body was on the floor in a half sit like position. Smiling softly, I reached out a hand to brush against his dark purple hair, feeling the soft silky feeling. When I saw him stirring, I immediately went back to 'sleep'.
I could clearly hear his movements as he rubbed sleep away from his eyes. I felt his tender gaze on me even though I had my eyes closed, though his cool touch gently traced down the side of my face tickling me before he stood to bend over and place a kiss on my lips. When he pulled away, he took the towel in the water basin on top of the bedside table and gently wiped my face with it. The feeling was cool and soothing against my warm skin.
When I heard him making movements to walk away, I unconsciously reached out a hand to lightly grab hold of his black yukata.
"Dark…Please stay a little longer." I asked him looking up at his shocked face.
"Kagome, your awake." He whispered out but seemed to be blown away by the wind. And before I know what was happening, I felt myself being pulled into his arms locked in a warm embrace.
At first I did not react to what just happened. Then I smiled and hugged him in return burying my face in his chest, taking in his scent that always stirred a feeling within me that cause butterflies to dance in my stomach.
"Are you feeling much better now? You gave both Sesshoumaru and I quite a scare when you suddenly just collapse." He said worriedly as his arm wrapped around my waist and his other around my shoulder while his hand buried itself in my hair at the back of my head.
The butterflies in my stomach seem to dance even more at his words as I just mutely nodded against his chest. I feel much better now with the sleep that I have just awoke from. Though I could not say the same about Dark, he seemed to look thinner than I remembered. He must have forgone his meals to look after me.
It was just then that Sesshoumaru hurriedly entered the room silent like the breeze and he was standing in front of us. Pulling apart from Dark, I could see the worn and tired look that he has on his face as he smiled down upon me softly, lovingly.
Sesshoumaru even though was a cold stoic person in front of many others, seemed to have discard that well disciplined control over his own feelings before coming to stand by my side looking at me worriedly, before he sat by my bed to ask me of my well-being himself.
I am truly touched to have them beside me can taking care of me. Smiling to them, I told them that I was feeling perfectly well. Even though the both of them seemed less worried, their concern is still rather overwhelming and shown in their eyes. Smiling to reassure them, I got out of got out of bed and forced myself to stand and walk about for them to see that I am perfectly fine now.
Once they were reassured and out of my room, I sat down on the floor with my back against the side of my bed. Bring my right knee to myself, I laid my forehead on the arm I had propped on top of my knee. In actual fact, I still feel rather weak on my legs having just awakened from my three days sleep.
Sighing, I got up again and walked out to the balcony terrace come garden like structured and sat down against the night blooming tree that Sesshoumaru had specially delivered and planted in my own little balcony. Looking deeply into the night sky, I looked about for signs of my animals guardians that were always with me, though ever since the day we stepped through the portal to Makai, they left me into Sesshoumaru and Dark's care.
Sighing, I leaned back against the tree and closed my eyes as I felt the light breeze bringing to me the many scents surrounding me. The Night Blooming tree itself gives off a very unique and rather delectable taste to the mouth. Though there is also the danger when one were to take a taste from this tree and it would usually takes on different effect on different people or youkai.
"Dark," I whispered softly as I hear him walking towards me to sit down next to me while he gently pulled me down so that my head was resting against his chest. Closing my eyes, I felt him placing his chin on my head while one arm encircled around my shoulder as the other held onto my hand.
"You lied again Princess, you know we are just concern for your well-being." He whispered softly to my looking down at me at first before gazing at the sky where the stars dances around the moon. Only nodding ever so slightly against him, I could hear his sigh as he knows that I am a very stubborn person.
"The battle is going to begin soon," he said pausing, when he felt Kagome became slightly more tensed, he eased her tension by wrapping his arms around her small waist as she leaned back against him.
"After the battle we will have more time to ourselves, just you and me." He whispered that sweet promise softly into her ears causing a slight shiver seemed to run down her spine as the butterflies in her stomach starts its dance once more.
I could feel my heart beat quickening when he said that to me. Though in my heart, I fear that I might not be able to return to see everyone again or even if I lived, I fear of not being able to see Dark. Whichever way, fear is there in both of our hearts and we both know it.
"Hopefully we will," I thought to myself silently as closed my eyes and enjoy his presence. Feeling him trying to stand up with me still in his arms, I tried to get up from him so that he could properly stand but instead he chuckled and carried me bridal style into my room. Looking up at him, he smiled down at me, placing a chaste kiss on my forehead before telling me to go to sleep. Blushing, I turned my gaze back up to the sky to watch the last of the stars as I saw the ceiling of my room slowly coming into view.
Snuggling up to him, I heard him chuckle lowly almost inaudibly. Looking up at him with an irritated yet a slight blush on my face, he just continue chuckling before placing a kiss on my lips as he lowered me onto my bed, bringing the blanket up to cover me up to my chin.
Seeing him just sitting on the empty side of the bed beside me, he had one of his arms just above where my head lays while he played with my black hair smiling at me ever so lovingly while caressing my hair.
Hearing him whisper to me to go to sleep in my ear, as he blew into my ear gently, I felt a light shiver running down my spine giving me goose bumps. It is a good thing that there is the blanket covering myself and that he did not know how that had a strong affected me, but he would know how I felt when he saw my cheeks color. Though I was not sure whether or not he knows as on his face is the smile that always makes my heart jump and the butterflies to dance.
The way he would sometimes gently stroke my head or play with my hair, it seemingly sooth me to sleep like how I used to spend my nights outdoors sleeping beneath the star filled night. Remembering those nights, my eyes slowly got heavy as I felt Dark dropping a light kiss on my forehead brushing my bangs away before dropping a light kiss on my lips as he whispered to me those words that I have waited for him to say ever patiently.
A/N: Hey everyone, sorry about this long wait. Well Merry Christmas to all of you and an early happy New Year. Been working so was busy all the time and not at home mostly of the time to type out my fanfics fast enough. Sorry. Oh and apart from that, I will be over in Thailand celebrating New Year . .
