Kagome had looked all over the house, but still couldn't find Sesshomaru. A small pout on her face, she stamped her foot in irritation.
"He better not have gone outside- we agreed that outside was off-limits!" Kagome was a master of hide-and-go-seek, but the little dog demon's nose had been her undoing whenever it was her turn to hide. Inside the house was a bit more of a level field, as her scent saturated every room, and so they had agreed to stay inside for this particular game. They had been playing for a while now, but now Kagome couldn't find Sesshomaru, but she didn't want to admit defeat and call out to him.
Huffing, Kagome looked about her to check that the room she was in was indeed deserted. She had an idea to help her, but she didn't anyone to see what she was about to do. The young girl screwed her eyes shut, and put her hands together with her index fingers up and touching. Taking a deep breath, she looked for the small light she felt inside herself, somewhere in her chest. Finding it, she used her mental hands to pull a small thread out and then allowed it to pool into the palm of her hand.
A soft pink light glittered across the surface of her hand, faint, but there. Eyes still closed, Kagome allowed her hand to pull her through the house. She ran into the wall a few times, but kept concentrating. She knew that this was technically cheating, but if Sesshomaru could use his demon senses, her using a small finding trick she had learned wouldn't hurt!
When her hand came to rest against a door, the small miko opened her eyes and frowned. This was her Grandpa's room, and it was also supposed to be off limits. She was about to storm in when she was stopped by the sound of a small sniffle. Pausing, Kagome slowly slid the door open and peeked inside. There, sitting in front of a self covered in scrolls, was Sesshomaru. With tears running down his face. As she went to step towards him the floor creaked, and his wide citrus eyes flashed to her.
Standing abruptly, Sesshomaru quickly scrubbed the remaining tears off his face, sniffing as he said hoarsely, "Sorry Kagome, I know I'm not supposed to hide in here and-" Kagome's hand on his face interrupted him, and he looked into her troubled gaze with his anguished one.
"You miss him, don't you?" His eyes again brimmed with suppressed tears and he nodded jerkily, unable to speak for fear of crumbling. Sapphire eyes softened, and Kagome admitted gently, "I miss my daddy too."
A sob ripped from the small demon's chest, and he fell into Kagome's arms, the two of them clinging to one another in shared grief. When Kagome's mom came home, she found them asleep, claws and fingers laced together between them.
...in which Kagome displays a proclivity for cheating and Sesshomaru finds reminders of home.
So this one's a bit of fluff about being away from the one's you love, and the one's you love being away from you.
