Honorable
Sesshoumaru watched the Miko as she slept beside him, tangled with his Moko-Moko on the bank as if the being was some sort of blanket. She looked peaceful, curled by his side. Sane, even.
It was such a strange concept to him, that she could have moments of such lucidity that he question wither she was really insane at all, or if she was merely seeing the world in ways in which he would never understand.
He couldn't leave her to fend for herself, now that he had found her. Wouldn't. His Honor demanded otherwise.
"Sesshoumaru?" Her soft voice broke him from his musings, muffled slightly where she had her face pressed into the thick fur of his moko. "Would you stay with me? I'm… I'm afraid time passes sometimes and I don't realize it."
"Hn. I'll not abandon you to the wilds Miko, do not tax yourself with worry."
Appeased for the moment, Kagome turned back to the fluff she had wrapped herself in during the night, luxuriating in the feel of its fur against her skin.
"Such a pretty appendage, and so full of your power. So soft. Can I keep you?" when he merely inclined a brow at her in reply, she jumped up; gathering his moko in her arms and taking off with it.
Sesshoumaru sighed as he climbed to his feet, thinking to indulge her in whatever new game this was when he heard the sound of her steps falter, before a mild shriek when she hit the ground.
He was by her side in an instant, lifting her to recline again his knee while he inspected the wound. Only there was no wound. Blood was smeared thickly across her scalp, but there was no source.
The moment she saw the blood on his fingertips though; she screamed, and the world went black.
Note: Oh would you look at that; I've taken this off of Hiatus. -coughs-
