For You Alone
Disclaimer: I really wish I owned this, but, alas, I don't.
"Why do you continue to follow me?" Kagome paused at the question and tilted her head to the side. "Why do you follow me even after you know of the demon?" Gaara turned back to watch her. It was a question he had been wanting to ask for some time, but was afraid of the answer.
Kagome blinked. His demon? Doesn't he know that it was Shukaku that asked me to stay? The miko smiled and walked up to him without fear, something he admired about her. "Do you really want to know?" At his nod, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms about him. "I stay because I can, because I was asked, and because you remind me of someone I knew…" Sesshomaru…
Gaara carefully wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "If this… person were to come for you, would you leave?" Even if it sounded to everyone else as indifferent, he knew that the girl with him would be able to sort through it and pick out the different emotions in his voice, including fear.
Kagome didn't answer right away. Sesshomaru… would you come at all? "Maybe… He meant a great deal to me, and I don't know if he is even alive now…" A grin crossed her face as she remembered a particular conversation that she had with the taiyoukai. "Though, he might be willing to share if he considers you worthy enough and able to protect me when he isn't."
Gaara snorted in distaste but let his head fall to hers. Kagome sighed as the action reminded her of the taiyoukai of the West, not hindered to the least by the fact that Gaara wasn't using his left arm.
"If Inuyasha were to come back, would you leave?" The question caused Kagome to look into the golden gaze of the man she had her arms around. Sesshomaru looked down at her and allowed her to see the trepidation lying in his eyes.
The miko smiled and laid her head back against his chest. "After what he did, I doubt it, not unless you came with me." Sesshomaru snaked his arm around her waist and pushed her closer to him.
Kagome sighed at the memory, but started when she felt a wave of youki wash over her. Gaara tensed and the sand around them quivered. She pulled back slightly and looked around, her eyes brightening as they landed on a familiar set of golden irises. "Sesshomaru…"
His eyes softened as he turned his gaze from the red-haired boy to the miko's bright blue eyes. "For you alone, Kagome, would this Sesshomaru be willing to share."
AN: … I didn't like this one as much, though I did like the segment with just Kag and Sesshou. I don't know why I'm putting so much SesshKag into these, but it's fun and I like the pairing, so meh. Tell me what you think, please!
