Some of us hover when we weep for the other
Who was dying since the day they were born
He pulled back and released, then turned to walk out.
"You do care," She said, feeling sadness.
"Hn," He did, but not in the way she thought. He cared about her; she just didnt know it.
The bubble popped as he walked out; she followed, eyes down, wound bleeding.
"Be thankful otherwise you both would be dead," He told them,
Sesshomaru looked at his mother, then at Kagome. "Finish this and return home,"
He left, and Kagome looked at his mother with confusion,
"You took the punishment, you are to deal with them as you see fit," She turned and left too.
Kagome could not believe it. She looked at the couple. "You are free to go, but dont forget this: he isn't a forgiving man, nor does he forget,"
"Thank you, my Lady,"
Blood dripped to the ground. "Dont thank me," She then turned and followed Sesshoamru and his mother, leaving a trail of blood for all to see like a scarlet letter.
He hated it. The smell of her blood but it had to be known, espically if word got out about what happened. The people had to know that he was still Sesshomaru and that someone would pay, even her.
But as soon as she was inside, he yanked her arm and whisked her away.
"Sesshomaru!" His mother scolded but he didnt not care.
The smell of her blood was pissing him off.
In a dark room he sealed her wound with is mouth. Her hands held against the fall with his own, hard at fist, but as if she was forgiving him her fingers intwined with his softly.
As much as he wanted to heal her fully, he could not. He left the mark but the bleeded had stopped.
"I will not do not that again," He told her both in warning and as an apology.
"So no more late nights out,"
He smirked. "Perhaps not out,"
"My Lord," She whispered as a blush crept on her face.
"Enough, come out," His mother snapped.
They had their fun, but enough was enough.
But something had switched, changed in them both. His mother watched him closely over the next few days as he all but seemed to hover over Kagome.
When he was finally alone, she graced him with her presents. "You hover over her as if she were to give birth and day, is there something you have not told me my son?"
His pin snapped under the pressure of his hand, and he looked up.
"Enough Mother," Kagome was clearly still a virgin but he got her point.
"I only state the truth; you are aware kissing will not put her in such a state,"
He was not asmused in the least, the kissing was supposed to be their ammoe, not hers.
"She is fine, Sesshomaru, no worse than when you tried to kill her,"
He stood.
"She does not blame you for what you had to do, Sesshomaru; in fact, she is quite aware of why you did it; in the end, she got what she wanted, but perhaps it is what you wanted as well,"
"I do not want used goods,"
His mother laughed. "Oh, how sweet you care,"
"Would you have wanted her as a daughter?"
His mother's face went flat. "Touche son, beside Kagome is my daughter,"
He rose an eyebrow "Then am I to mate with her?"
She raised an eyebrow. "Would you?"
He ignored her, but to her, that spoke volumes.
His mother turned "I assume your late night outings are done with?"
"Hn," Outings, yes. But late nights were all he could offer her right now, all he could afford.
"Just dont forget you have others here,"
"I am aware,"
"You will need to protect her better when word travels,"
"I have not failed in my protection of her,"
"Sesshomaru, had she been human, she would have died from the wound,"
"She is human,"
"And yet she is no longer dying in the way humans do, but do not forget she can still die and still hurt,"
Wit that, she left him and he sent the rest of the night alone.
