He walked with her bridal style, he looked over her once again. It's ironic that his brother and the Miko he loved were dead; he and Kagome were alive. Did he believe in fate?
When Miko, tell me what power you have over my mind?
How would he tell her that the man she loved was dead? How would he tell her that he cared for her? Would he tell her, or would his pride keep him from it as it has?
He didn't know, all he knew was that he was going to sit under a tree, her in his lap and await for her eyes to open.
As night fell Sesshomaru looked down at the woman that laid in his lap, his arms were crossed above her, his eyes were set hard on her. When had he first met her? Was it then that she stayed in his mind?
Sesshomaru thought back; it was when he came to find his father's tomb that he noticed the girl standing next to his brother. She seemed different then the mortals of their time; he remembered what he told his bother.
"She suits you, little brother."
No she did not suit him, Inuyasha did not suit her was more like it. That was the first time he had seen her. But when was it that he took a real note of her? She had not be afraid to follow him into his father's tomb and she had not be afraid to speak out against him, telling his younger brother to hit him in his pride.
Sesshomaru was not to fond of that memory Brave but foolish miko He thought as the memory played in his mind. It was not he or his brother who would pull out the sword, but her.
That is when Miko, you were able to pull out my father's sword.
At the time, he was not amused, in fact he wished to kill her, and he damn well tried.
She had surprised him again when she was not killed by him, more surprised when she yelled at him. Yes, it was then that he took his first real look at her, but at the time, he had more important things to do than to think of the human girl, and at the time, he did not care. True, she had been different, but not so much as to grab the demon Lord's interest past mild curiosity.
That same day, he lost his arm, the arm that has now grown back. He remembered his bother telling her to shut up, and he remembered his foolish brother trying to save her, so did that make him foolish, too? He was the one now saving her.
That night everyone stayed with Kaede, Miroku was given medicine, and Shippo tried his best not worry. Sango was worried for Kagome as well, she believed Kagome would need them when she woke up. Was Sesshomaru really planning to tell her of Inuyasha's death. Had something happened that they had missed?
Kaede made stew and everyone ate in silence, even Jaken joined in with eating.
Shippo finished his bowl but was still very sad. "Don't worry, Lord Sesshomaru will return," Rin chimed; the girl seemed too happy; she always seemed happy. Even in danger, the child was brave and looked for the best outcome; she was a lot like Kagome.
"Young girl," Kaede called, looking at the child.
"Hmm Yes?" Rin said looking up from her bowl. "Ye follow young Lord, do ye not?"
"You mean Lord Sesshomaru, yes?" She said with a smile; Kaede thought it a bit odd; she had heard a human child follow him, but still, to see it and hear it was a shock.
"Why do ye wish to follow such a man?" Kaede asked,
"What do you mean?" Rin seemed confused, but then again, she saw Sesshomaru as nothing less than great. "Toad," Kaede said, looking at the green imp; he pulled the bowl and chopsticks away from his face.
"What?" he snapped.
"Does young Lord take care of Rin?"
"Why yes! She is the great Lord Sesshomaru's ward, and if anything happens to her, he will have your head!"
Kaede was surprised to find that Sesshomaru did not seem to harbor hate for all humans, and she now wondered what he was doing with Kagome.
Shippo placed his bowl down. I hope Sesshomaru comes back soon; what does he want with Kagome anyway?
That even Sesshomaru did not know.
