Chapter 2: Cold as Stone
Kagome sat on the bed next to Rin the eager little girl looked up at her with vibrant eyes
She smiled "your feeling lots better aren't you Rin?" she asked the smiling girl
"Oh yes Kagome-Sama I am much better thanks to you" she said happily
"Mmm you can just call me Kagome," Kagome answered
"Yes m'am ….Kagome when can I get out of bed and play?" the little girl asked her eyes beginning to get sad
"Mmm well if you keep getting better then I'd say in two days …how's that sounds"
The little girl perked up "really...that'd be great" Rin exclaimed throwing her arms around Kagome and squeezing her tightly
Kagome smiled and returned the hug
Lucky for Kagome the week of staying here hadn't been so bad, she had made some friends with the servants and Sesshomaru hadn't been around very much in all it was kinda nice staying in the beautiful castle sleeping a huge fluffy bed
Kagome sighed, "Is something wrong Kagome?" Rin asked looking up at her with an adorable concerned look on her face
She looked down and smiled a little "no Rin I'm fine"
Rin nodded and Yawned "mmm you need your rest Rin I'll be in later to check up on you ok" Kagome said standing and walking out
"Ok Lady Kagome" the little girl said lazily
Kagome sighed the girl never would get the hang of just calling her Kagome she thought
Lord Sesshomaru walked down the halls this wing housed all the rooms including his and Rin's and where the Human woman stayed as well
He neared her room and felt her power he also could here faint noises
He got closer until he finally was right outside the door
She was whimpering or maybe crying he listened… he didn't know why he stayed there to listen
She was crying by herself something
He didn't know why but his arm moved of its own accord and opened the door
He peered in she sat there on the floor her hands covering her face
"Why do you cry?" he asked simply he knew humans felt emotions and were weak but he didn't understand why they did
Kagome jumped and looked up at him
He sucked in a breath she looked up at him her eyes glassy from tears that had yet to fall and her lips were in a pout she seemed so weak and so fragile like at any moment she would shatter into many pieces
"I'm crying because I'm sad," she answered weakly
"And why are you sad" he asked walking in further
"Because I miss my friends but at the same time I know I'm going to leave soon and that means I'm going to miss it here," she said quietly
She hated to admit this to him she didn't want him to know how much she really did enjoy it here mostly she knew she'd miss Rin
"Why would you miss it here you didn't want to stay" he asked
Humans had so many confusing things about them one minuet they hated something the next they loved it
He didn't think human's truly knew what they wanted or how they felt they simply just did what their emotions told them to do and that really bothered him
He gazed down at the girl as she began to sob again
She reminded him so much of the retched woman his father loved
"And I know you hate humans so I couldn't stay even if I could….and Rin is such a good child she's like Shippo they'd be good friends I think.." she was babbling
"Hold your tongue Girl you are just babbling now" he exclaimed
His cold Amber eyes staring at her intensely for a split second Kagome thought he was hoping she'd burst into flames from this stare
Maybe he was disappointed when she didn't she stared up at this beautiful man
Why did he have to be so damn beautiful really, it was depressing …and no one so cold and mean should be that beautiful?
"What are you staring at this Sesshomaru for" he asked as she sat there boldly taking him in like she had the right
She sighed and looked away "no reason I guess" she answered then she picked her self up off the floor and stood there in front of him
"I need to go check on Rin" she stated and turned around to leave
"I'll go with you then" he said as he pushed his way out before her and continued down the hall to Rin's room
When they walked into the room Rin's face lit up
"Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome you both came to see me," she said excitedly
Sesshomaru eyed Kagome she was no Lady why would Rin call her that
"I've told you Rin its just Kagome" the young woman sighed
"Sorry Kagome" the little girl answered
She smiled then Rin turned her attention on Sesshomaru
"Master Sesshomaru thank you for visiting me" she exclaimed holding out her hands like she wanted a hug
He nodded and sat down next to her where she gently took some of his hair into her fingers and twirled
"Guess what Master Sesshomaru…Kagome says I can get out of bed in a couple of days" the little girl said excitedly he looked over to the Miko who stood not to far away
She nodded with a small smile
"Mmm interesting do you feel better Rin?" he asked
"Oh yes Master Sesshomaru much better Kagome has taken very good care of me" she answered enthusiastically
"Very well then Kagome you may leave when you please," he said standing
The little girl looked shocked tears formed instantly
"Lady Kagome has to leave?" she said looking from one to the other
"Yes Rin the Miko was only here to make you better now her job is done" Sesshomaru said sternly
"But who will I play with?" Rin asked as tears flowed down her cheeks
This sight was enough to pull at anyone's heartstrings well maybe everyone it didn't seem to faze Mister I have no heart, I do not feel
Kagome sighed "its ok Rin I'll visit you and you can come and visit me" she said
Rin turned to Sesshomaru her eyes pleading for him to say she could
"Of course see Rin it's settled" he said as he turned away to leave
"Thank you so much" she said
He left the two in there as they began to play
Sesshomaru sat at his desk looking over things and deciding what needed to be done
It was late and he hadn't been anywhere near his sleeping quarters in hours
He heard the door slide open
There she stood in just a long silk sleeping gown her hair all around her and the look of sleep still in her eyes
"Miko what are you doing up?" he asked her as she walked in and slid the door closed
"I came to ask you something" she answered as she sat down across from him
He regarded her coldly
"What is it?" he asked
"I want to take Rin she is so lonely and the only one she has to talk to is that stupid toad she could be happy and playful her and Shippo could be good friends"
"No that is out of the question" he said
"But don't you think she should have friends and be able to act like a kid" Kagome asked angrily
"No I do not" he replied simply
"Look she isn't a demon she's a human girl" she exclaimed
He stared at her then growled "she is in my care and she will stay in my command until she see's fit to leave so you may let all thoughts of taking her leave you …besides I wouldn't give her to some pathetic Miko anyway I have better candidates than you" he said harshly
Kagome's eyes widened in shock and hurt
"Fine but do understand you maybe a demon Lord and you maybe powerful but none of that is any good when you are as cold as stone
And stupid as a wild ass" she stated getting up and turning to leave
The demon Lord was upon her in a matter of seconds if that he grabbed her and threw her she hit the desk hard her back bruising from the force
"How dare you talk to this Sesshomaru as if you were my equal" he growled out as his hand grabbed her throat
She hissed at the pain as his claws nicked her tender flesh
A pink light began to glow and Sesshomaru growled as heat rose and a painful burning in his missing limb scorched through him
His eyes turned red as it intensified to a unbearable point he went to release the Miko but she held onto him
When she finally released him from her grip he looked at her, she had used her power yet not turned him into ash why? He thought he reached for her and then realized instead of just one hand he had two
He stared at his new hand amazed it was back then he looked to the Miko she stared at him in amazement "did I do that?" she asked pointing at his perfect hand
"I believe so" he replied as he flexed it
"What no thank you" she said flatly it wasn't like she had expected it hell she had meant to turn his sorry butt into ash instead she gave him back a deadly weapon he could use on her
She eyed him unsteadily his cold golden eyes looked into hers and she shuddered a little
He was so beautiful she thought
"why would this Sesshomaru thank you for" he stated
"is that a question or a statement" she asked
"a question" he answered "you did this on accident therefore there is no reason for my gratitude" he added
She sighed "whatever don't then" she pulled herself off the desk and began to walk away
Just as she was just about past him he grabbed her with his newly formed hand and spun her around and planted his lips on hers
She stiffened in utter shock and for a spilt second wondered if she was going to have a heart-attack she felt his tongue slid over her bottom lip and gasped as she did so he slipped into her sweet cavern and stroked her as his tongue dominated hers
A small moan escaped from her and into his mouth
Then just as fast as he had began he was gone
She opened her eyes and looked up at him
"there Miko you have been thanked for the return of my arm"
She stared and in her fuzzy mind the words slipped by before she could stop them
"if I knew you would thank me like that I would have done it sooner" she said
Then gasped and held her hand over her mouth and turned red
Sesshomaru smirked at her then left out the balcony window
She stood there in awe at what just happened
