The Maiden and her Protector

Chapter 86: Yes, that's me.
"Forbid me? You forbid me?"
The inuyoukai nodded his head, imperiously.
Kagome pushed at him, suddenly angry, "You don't do anything! You don't tell me what to do! Nobody tells me what to do!"
She was so furious she wanted to cry. Why, she had no idea.
He could see he had pushed her too far. Finally, he had managed to breach those shields she had built.
"Your prince will kill you if you travel."
It was a statement, but one that provoked her to throw a branch at his head.
"Then I'll die. I want to die! Damn it!" She was throwing everything she could touch in his direction. He could have stopped her but he thought it wise for her to let it out. Tears were streaming down her face.
"I don't want this! I'm tired of grieving. I'm tired of hiding. I'm tired of running away! I don't want to fight anymore."
She was running out of things to throw at him.
Shippou had awoken and retreated with Myouga to a distant, as he watched a side of the smiling girl he had never seen before.
Seshoumaru was silent as he avoided the various missiles.
Suddenly exhausted, she collapsed and bringing her knees to her chin, she huddled in a ball, and mumbled in a small voice, "I'm so tired."
"'Gome?"
Shippou ventured from his hiding place and approached her. He crept closer to her and tugged at her leg. She was quiet as those blue eyes studied him. His eyes brimmed with tears, as he choked out, "Please don't die. Please? I don't wanna be alone."
A beat. Two beats.
A sigh and she drew him into her arms. As he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her comforting scent, she murmured, "I'm not going to die, Shippou. "
"B-but you said.."
She stared into the fire, "I was just upset. I didn't mean for you to see that."
"So you're not going to die?"
"Not if I can help it."
Seshoumaru intervened smoothly, "You will travel with me."
Drained of the fight, Kagome simple blinked, "Why?"
"Because I wish it."
She struggled with herself, before she spoke, "Fine. But, I want to see if Shippou's mother is alive."
A.N: This was long, but I was in a long mood, so it's long. Problem?
