When she woke up that morning, Kagome expected to still be in the dungeon; she thought that escaping had to be a dream and running into Sesshomaru was a nightmare and him helping her to find Inuyasha and the others was nothing like the demon she thought she knew. Her brown eyes opened her eyes to be peering into the clear blue sky that signified that her freedom was real. But if her freedom was real that meant…she glanced over across the clearing to see Sesshomaru leaned against a tree, seemingly sleeping.
Yep he was definitely not a figment of her imagination. The miko sat up, stretching her sore body from sleeping on the ground and looked down at her grimy, discolored skin. Frowning, she stood up and walked over to Sesshomaru’s still form. His only hand rested on the hilt of his sort, as if poised to attack anything at any moment. Her eyes drifted to the empty sleeve of his kimono and felt a stab of guilt.
“Is there anything in particular that you need, Miko or are you just going to stand there and stare at this Sesshomaru,” his voice floated across her eyes and she flushed, her eyes meeting his cold gold hues, which were now staring at her expectantly. “I apologize Lord Sesshomaru, I didn’t mean to stare for so long…I was wondering if there was a hot spring anywhere nearby?” she asked him, looking down at her feet.
The demon lord sniffed the air to see if he could scent out an answer to her question. “Yes, there is a hot spring about a mile from here, we will travel now and I’ll let you bathe when we run across it,” he told her and stood up. He brushed the invisible dirt off of his pristine clothes and started to walk, hearing her slowly follow behind him.
Kagome crossed her arms across her stomach as she walked behind the man that was leading her to her friends, if all went well today, she’d get to them before nightfall. Then she’d ask them if they could go back to Edo so she could go home for a while. She looked at Sesshomaru’s back, ‘or I can ask Sesshomaru to take me straight to Edo and I’ll tell Kaede to tell everyone that I’m back and just went home,’ she thought to herself before quickening her pace to walk next to Sesshomaru.
“Lord Sesshomaru, instead of taking me to Inuyasha, do you think you could take me to Kaede’s Village instead?” she asked. The demon lord looked at her and raised an eyebrow, “yes, but if we pass the half-breed on the way there, I’m leaving you with him,” he said. Kagome nodded, “thank you,” she said softly, Sesshomaru nodded to acknowledge her thanks and continued to walk with her next to him and keeping up with his pace.
After about 30 minutes of non-stop walking, Sesshomaru stopped and then turned to lead her through the woods to where the hot springs were. “Call for me when you are done and we will continue traveling, the village is still a two day’s walk from where we are,” he said and turned away from her, going to somewhere within earshot but where he couldn’t see her.
Once Kagome saw that he was out of eyesight, she removed the kimono and folded them neatly beside the spring. Sinking into the water with a relieved moan, she rested her back against one of the rocks and curled her knees to her chest. “I can’t wait to get home and take an actual bath with my soap, shampoo and conditioner since my supplies that I have here are with the others,” she muttered to herself.
Rubbing her body with her hands, she made sure to remove all the grime that accumulated on her person and scrubbed her hair afterwards. Frowning that she didn’t have a towel, she shrugged and stood up from the water and got out of the spring. Putting the kimono back on, she walked in the direction that Sesshomaru had headed in. She found him a few minutes later and cleared her throat.
Sesshomaru’s honey-gold eyes turned to her and he nodded to her, standing straight and walking over to her. “Are you ready?” he asked, waiting for her nod before he started to lead her in the direction of Kaede’s village. They traveled until it got dark and made camp, both of them sitting in front of the fire across from each other.
“Would you tell me about your time, Kagome?” he asked her curiously and Kagome looked at him in shock for a few minutes before nodded. “Well I don’t know what to say but there aren’t as many trees, lots of streets and tall buildings; there are lots of humans and will most likely smell terrible to you because that’s what Inuyasha says every time he comes to get me from my time so that we can continue the search for the Shikon shards,” she said.
“He can go through the portal to your time? How do you get there?” he asked. “There is a well outside the Forest of Inuyasha that I go through and yeah, so far he’s the only one that has been able to travel through other than myself,” she said. Sesshomaru nodded and Kagome’s brown hues drifted to his missing arm once again. “Do you miss it?” she asked, gesturing to his arm.
“At times, I do, always feel like there is a part of me missing and it took time to adjust,” he said as his eyes met hers and he felt the guilt coming off of her in waves. “I am so sorry Sesshomaru-sama, it’s my fault that Inuyasha chopped off you arm,” she said softly, her eyes growing sad. The demon lord shook his head, “don’t be guilty now Kagome, it happened 3 years ago,” he told her.
“I know but I can’t help but to feel bad, when we ran into each other in the past I didn’t think much about it but now that I’m traveling with you and you are…different than when I first met you,” she whispered softly and turned her gaze away from his. “It’s alright Kagome, I was trying to kill you and my half-brother was doing what he had to so that he could protect you,” Sesshomaru said.
“If I…if I touch you, will you kill me?” she asked hesitantly, “no, Kagome, I will not kill you for touching this Sesshomaru’s person,” he said, but still looked at the tiny human with caution as she walked over to him.
Kagome nibbled on her bottom lip and got on her knees in front of him, “c-can I see your arm?” she asked a flush going across her cheeks. Sesshoumaru’s eyebrow raised but nodded and went through the task of removing his armor and haori. The miko couldn’t help but to blink in surprise at the lean muscle that had lay beneath his clothing.
Hesitantly, she reached out and put her small hands on the stub of his arm. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she worked on separating her purifying energy and healing energy, pushing the healing energy through her hands and to his arm. The lord watched as blue light envelope the girl’s hands and stiffened until he realized that it was healing power and not purification.
