Kagome blinked few times, looking at her desk with disbelief. Perhaps she she was hallucinating because there was no way her work could triple itself in one day time!
'Maybe, I'm still in shock' she thought hopefully, closing her eyes and trying to relax. It was hard day for her.
She had woke up today with deep feeling she would probably be dead before the sunset. The punishment was set at the noon and there was no way she could save herself.
On the time she was escorted to the hall where Sesshoumaru, his mother and the court were already gathered. She could feel dread slowly creeping on her. She really, really didn't want to die. Just when she was thinking how her friends would react at the news of her demise the miracle had happened.
Sesshoumaru stood up from his throne and announced that the punishment would be placed but not on her. Somehow, her lord had found the true offenders. Imagine her shock, when the one that the daiyoukai had punished was Jaken and some young panther youkai. They received twenty slashed on their back and were degraded from their post.
As much as Kagome was sad for their humilitation she couldn't find it in herself to really worry about the situation. Her own head was still on it's right place and there was nothing that could made her more happy.
The woman nodded her head, squeezing her eyes tighter.
'After that all, I had the right to see things,' she decided, slowly opening her eyes once again. Unfortunately, the pile of scrolls was still on her desk. She sighed lightly, never noticing the male that came to stand behind her.
"Is there something wrong, miko?" he asked. Kagome turned to her saviour with bright smile.
"No, not at all. I'm just getting back to work."
"Very well," Sesshoumaru answered turning to his own study, before her voice stopped his steps.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, I... I wanted to thank you. Thank you for saving me. I don't know what would have happen with me if not you," she said, smiling shyly.
He stared at her for a long moment. He too wasn't regretting his choice to save her, in fact he was pleased with himself.
"You are welcome, Kagome."
She gasped lightly and he turned again, this time leaving her to stare in awe at the door of his study.
