Chapter 8 The Music Stops

A quiet sadness creeps between them.

I don't understand why she's worried. I am by far superior to them. "Is that all, there's nothing to worry about, if this Gotei 13 is anything like what I encountered earlier than I can dispose of them easily. He laid back down in the bed made himself comfortable. His earlier victories over the shinigami feed into his confidence, he had no fear of the power of Gotei 13. "Lay with me". He gestured to the space next to him.

"Sesshomaru, some of the members of the Gotei 13 are my friends and they will not be easily beaten. The captains are especially powerful tangling with them would be deadly. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. You're talking about them as if they were nothing but trash, but you're wrong. They're serious and dangerous. I don't want to see you get hurt or even worse. I know you're strong but they're strong too and they out number us".

She said us. She's really afraid that this might end badly but she is willing to fight to protect me even if it means fighting her friends. Is this what it means father when two ...

"Sesshomaru do you understand? Are you even listening?"

"Then what do you suggest".

"First, I will have my lieutenants address the Secret Mobile Corps and the Corrections Corps putting them on standby. If Central 46 does not see some type of movement from my men they will be suspicious and we cannot afford to bring any suspicion upon ourselves. Kisuke and Katindahat have been studying the trou de ver since the day you left. Kisuke has been quite positive about it so hopefully there has been a lot of progress. I 'll see if they can get you home".

She wants to send me home.

Seeing the pain in his eyes, Yoruichi leaned over placing her forehead against his and whispered, "Sesshomaru, I wish you could stay with me forever, but if you stay you will die. I won't let that happen even if it means my heart will break into a thousand pieces". She kissed him softly. Yoruichi broke their kiss and started to pull away.

Sesshomaru continued to hold on pulling her back to him. "Yoruichi, don't go just yet. There is something I need to say. I..."

Just then there was a knock at the door.
