Chapter 16 : A Tearful Goodbye & the Mysterious Savior
Kagome awoke feeling warm and fuzzy, or rather, something warm and fuzzy. She opened her eyes and looked down to see she was still wearing the bath robe that Sesshoumaru had put on her last night. A light flush crossed her cheeks as she remembered getting out of the hot springs completely naked in front of the demon lord. He had told her she was beautiful, and ten times the person Kikyo was, and he held her in his arms until she fell asleep. All those scandelous, yet honest comments he had made, the tenderness he had revealed to her.. She couldn't get him out of her mind. Could she possibly be falling in love with Sesshoumaru? Could she love him, even after he's tried to kill her many times? She knew she could. She had thought she loved Inuyasha, and he had tried to kill her, too.
There was a dull ache in her temple, which meant she would most likely have a headache. It seemed to grow with every waking thought.
Sesshoumaru was different from Inuyasha, though. Inuyasha had very rarely ever shown a tender side; with him it had always been arguements, criticism, and disapointment. Sesshoumaru did have a tender side, and he was not afraid to show it. That, she liked. She hated having to tiptoe around Inuyasha, waiting, waiting, and waiting for him to make a move, and in the end, the move had went in the opposite direction. Sesshoumaru had made her feel good about herself, and Inuyasha had done just the opposite. She sighed and shook her head, thinking to herself. 'I must stop comparing things with Inuyasha, and let it go. In fact; fuck Inuyasha's choice and fuck Inuyasha.' She smiled slightly to herself. Even if Sesshoumaru had just been trying to make her feel better about herself, she preferred his company. She quietly got up and put on her freshly washed priestess clothing, brushed her hair, and as she opened the sliding door, Sen rushed in, and closed it back.
Kagome blinked, and looked at her. Sen however seized the chance to interrogate her. "What happened between you and Lord Sesshoumaru. I saw him carry you back into your room last night, and you were only wearing a bath robe." Sen smirked. "Having fun in the hot springs were you?"
Kagome blushed a violent red, her mouth sagging a little. "We were not! Nothing happened. He--I--well-"
"Suuuure. You know I can keep a secret, so tell me."
Kagome's eye twitched. "You're a demon, Sen. Does it SMELL like we did anything?"
"Hmm. I suppose not. Too bad." She grinned slightly. "Anyway, Lord Sesshoumaru is ready to take you home, but I hope you plan on coming to visit. It'll be lonely around here without you."
Kagome smiled and hugged the demoness. "Thanks. I'll miss being here as well, but Shippou will be worried." Sen then lead her out to the garden where Sesshoumaru and Rin where. Rin clinged to Kagome's pants, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Do you have to go?" She asked sadly. "I don't want you to go." Kagome nodded and hugged the little girl.
"My kit needs me, but you and Lord Sesshoumaru are welcome to come visit me anytime you like." She gave the girl one last hug, and the swirling mist surrounded her and Sesshoumaru and they were airborne once more.
Talk between them was at a minimum. Kagome wondered what she would say to him when they arrived on the outskirts of Inuyasha forest. She did not want to leave his castle, for there she felt as if she belonged. She did not think she could ever get use to all the servants, but at least there, no one judged her.. But that could be because of Sesshoumaru. She felt a bit queasy standing there, so she slowly stooped to one knee, and placed one hand on the seemingly solid mist beneath her feet. Her headache had not improved, either. Sesshoumaru glanced back at her. "Is something wrong?"
Kagome was slightly startled, but managed to answer in a calm voice. "I can't stand anymore. The height and movement made me queasy." Sesshoumaru slowly walked towards her and sat down, having confidence that this odd cloud could steer itself. He pulled her into his lap, and hugged her to himself. The queasy feeling was then replaced with butterflies. She blushed lightly, surprised that he would do such a thing out here where all could see, but then she noticed that the swirling mist had enclosed all around them in a comfortable distance.
"Rin will miss you. You are welcome to come visit the castle if you ever wish to do so."
Kagome smiled and hugged him. "I will, that is, if I can bring Shippou along?" Sesshoumaru seemed to ponder this for a moment, then nodded. "Thank you again for helping me after I was injured. I tried to hurry before my blood attracted more demons. I don't think I'd still be here if it was not for you." She whispered the last part, blushing slightly again.
"If you ever need my help, just ask and I will come." He leaned his head against hers, goldenrod drowning in turquoise and vice versa. Slowly their lips came together in an innocent kiss. Their tender moment was short lived, though, because they were soon close to Kagome's stop. They hugged and stood, and slowly they descended, the swirling mist dispersing to leave them standing on the ground. It was then that Sesshoumaru produced a small package and handed it to her.
Kagome regained her propper manner towards him and bowed. "Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru, in turn, nodded before the cloud surrounded him, and then disapeared into the distance. Kagome easily surpressed the smile that had threatened to form, and turned to make her way back to the village.
Something was wrong. She had been walking for at least an hour, and she had not reached the village yet. In fact, she had no idea where she was. The pounding headache that had remained in the back of her mind all day had finally shown it's intent, and Kagome found it hard to process comprehendible thoughts. It was beginning to get dark, and she had no weapons. No bow. No arrows. No sword. Just the small parting gift Sesshoumaru had given her, which felt cheifly like clothes.
The power of the Shikon no Tama was bound to attract demons in the night. She knew this, and sure enough she felt a demon aproaching. In fact, more than one. The one that arrived first, seemed much like the one she had fought when she was at Sesshoumaru's. Despite her headache, she managed to dodge all it's attacks beautifully. She wanted to attack, assume the offensive side of this fight, but she had no real weapon. Suddenly, she felt like destroying the demon, ripping it apart. The other part of her mind had reared it's head, and she found her miko side agreeing with it. She felt a burst of power, yet it was different from the usual sensation. The demon closed it's large claws around her, but a large surge of white hot energy obliterated it in one foul swoop. The energy quickly receeded, and she feel to one knee. The pounding growing louder.
Now the two sides of her mind were reacting violently. Her vision began to blur, and she started black out, but right before she fell unconcious, she remembered seeing eyes of dark turquoise and lovely silver hair, which reminded her of Sesshoumaru. The said person appeared to be a demon, and a male one at that, but Kagome could do little but realize he was the other demon she had sensed before the darkness claimed her.
