Chapter 23
The next few days were better. Sesshomaru was around and was not pushing her as she had been pushed before. Apparently, Sesshomaru's servants didn't know human limits and fearful of angering their absent Lord had taken to heart to rip every last piece of information from her. The taiyoukai was silent and cruel but he at least knew about humans and their needs.
In the following days she spent in the castle he sat with her and commented about the things she wrote. It was somewhat fun to share her thoughts and ideas with someone who truly cared and understood their importance.
Inuyasha never did.
On other occasions when the Lord was busy with something he would make sure to send her tea and snacks with Rin . The pair chatted giddily for a while until Rin was whisked away for her studies. It was now an easier routine, one the miko found she could live with.
So, it came as a total surprise when two days later Sesshomaru informed her they were to return to Inuyasha the next day. It was a conflicting emotion, the one she felt. In one side she had wanted to return to Inuyasha because she missed him too much but in the other side…she felt uneasy. It had been weeks, probably three, since they had been separated. At first, the separation hurt vividly every night…but now it was like a small throbbing. She knew she would be happy to see him…but she knew she would miss Rin too.
The miko gave her head a harsh shake and her brown eyes hardened. No, she had to return to Inuyasha. There was no place for her here in Sesshomaru's castle. Back with her previous group she had a sister, a mischievous cousin, her kit and the boy she liked. It was where she belonged. Traveling under sun and rain, day and night, visiting Kaede and going down the Bone-Eater's well and back home. That was who Higurashi Kagome was and will always be.
No one will change that. Not even Sesshomaru.
