Moments of Wonder
Monday
The third day she was waiting for him when he stepped onto the beach. She was wearing a yellow rain slicker and matching yellow boots with baby ducklings all over them. Her dark hair was done up in a small ponytail and she sang quietly to herself while she jumped from one rain filled sand puddle to the next.
"Kagome."
Upon hearing her name she jumped to attention. She ran over to him as best she could with her bulky gear. "Why are you wearing those?"
"Mama said it's gonna rain again. Are we gonna go see the lighthouse today." He nodded in affirmation and headed for the small bluff again.
"We need to cross here. This is the fastest way to get there." Kagome looked skeptical. "Come." Hand in hand the two made their ways across the rocks. When the lighthouse came into view Kagome forgot her fear and ran forward gleefully.
"Sesshoumaru look! Let's go inside."
He chuckled although she couldn't hear him. He was glad she seemed to be in better spirits than the first time he saw her. He could hear her loud footsteps thundering above him and swiftly caught up to her. When the two emerged from the top Kagome looked around in wonder. She had never seen anything from this high up before.
As the first droplets of rain fell from the sky Sesshoumaru scooped her up and stood on the edge of the lighthouse. Her laughter died on her lips and she questioned him. "I wish to show you how youkai travel," Was his simple response.
A cloud formed beneath his feet and they soared into the sky. Kagome, terrified of falling, closed her eyes tightly and wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's neck.
"Open your eyes Kagome." When she finally did, she gasped.
