Chapter 73
March's DDN, Prompt 3: Bittersweet
The young monk sat on the empty chair next to the unconscious miko in the hospital bed. His blue eyes stayed on her form, monitoring her breathing obsessively. She was a great ally, the only hope Japan had at this moment.
She was a great woman too.
She didn't cry or complain. She wasn't afraid of taking arms and dive into danger. More so…her soul shone with a purity he had never seen.
So, when an imposing Taiyoukai disguised as a human entered the room, Nobuhiro pursed his lips in an attempt to keep quiet. It felt so bittersweet…how she allowed youkai to get near her personally, but not him, a fellow monk. How could her soul shine so? How could the Kami bless her when she was friends with youkai and hanyou?
How could they be friends with her? She lived to exterminate their kind… this was definitely a very strange relationship. One he wasn't sure he wanted to meddle with. He had been partners with Kagome, as ordered by his grandfather, for months now…and he still knew almost nothing about her.
"Who are you?" the voice was strong, imposing even as it asked him from behind him.
Nobuhiro turned to the Taiyoukai with a disdainful look, "It is only proper to introduce oneself when coming in an already occupied room, but…you are youkai," the monk said through narrowed eyes, "My name is Nobuhiro and I am Kagome's partner."
The taiyoukai's eyes blazed gold in the dimly lit room before moving close to Kagome for a closer inspection. After deeming her safe, he turned to Nobuhiro with a bored look, "A worthless companion then, for you allowed her to be injured." The irate monk was about to say something but the Taiyoukai interrupted him, "And this Sesshomaru only shows the proper respect to those who deserve it. You allowed Kagome to get hurt, you are not worthy of my respect."
Nobuhiro pressed his lips together and promptly left the room. There was no sense in staying in the room. It wasn't like Kagome cared anyways. There was no need to torture himself so…it was… a loss of time.
To be continued...
