Sesshoumaru silently led Kagome to the dining hall. His mind was racing from the information he had received from her {so she is from the future. well that would explain a lot but it doesn't really explain everything, like how she will throw herself into a battle that has nothing to do with her but refuse to defend herself why she is so loyal to my brother even when he chooses that dead Bitch over her and why she took in an orphan kit even knowing full well that he was demon, Why would a human do all this}.
Sesshoumaru’s musings were cut short when he realized that he could smell tears from the little miko who walked silently behind him
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------
Kagome fallowed Sesshoumaru she would have been amazed with the beauty of the castle had she been paying attention to it instead she was thinking about everything that has happened over than last few days {how do I get myself into these situations? then thinking about how she had come to be here and her mind returned to Inuyasha and Kikyou. as hard as she tried to stop them her Tears started to flow once again she was trying to stifle her tears when all of a sudden she walked into something hard and bounced off landing on her butt.
Sesshoumaru had stopped to ask her what was wrong but as soon as he stopped she walked right into him and bounced down to the ground he turned and looked down at her she sat where she fell she looked up at him with tears in her eyes .at this site his heart lurched and he had the compulsion to try make her feel better. {For Rin yes I want to make her feel better for Rin I don't want Rin to see her sad like this} he rationalized in his mind.
He bent down and picked up the girl . he had expected a fight as he carried her to the library but she had just sat limply in his arms then he gently sat her down on the bench and said “ what is wrong why do you cry? Are you in pain?” She stifled a sniffle and looked into his eyes and said almost in a whisper” I am sorry I was just thinking about ...things and yes I am in pain but its the pain of a broken heart and I know that there is nothing that anyone can do for me” Sesshoumaru quietly asked “ well it might help to talk about it” Kagome looked at him in shock but her mouth begin to speak she couldn't stop the torrent of words that left her ;totally out of her control. She told Sesshoumaru about her and Inuyasha's first meeting then about the shikon how it cam from her ; how she broke it . she told about all the arguments and she told of how she loved him and had hoped that he would one day choose life with her over death with Kikyou about all the times he had snuck off to meet Kikyou and this last time of what she had seen.
Sesshoumaru listened to her then as he pulled into his arms said “Kagome let it go. he is not worth your tears and pain" she whimpered into his chest “I wish that I could but you cant just stop loving someone” Then Sesshoumaru said something that really gave Kagome something to think about “ I know that you love him but are you sure that your IN love with him” Kagome stopped all sniffling and looked up into Sesshoumarus eyes and said after a moment of thought “ I don't know anymore” “well” Sesshoumaru said “maybe you should take time to think that over but right now you need to eat you have been without food for two days now “ with that said he stood up and placed his hand gently on her back and guided her to the dining hall where two anxious children were waiting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------
Rin and Shippo were waiting less than patiently, they were both wining to Jaken Rin was saying “ Rin is hungry and Shippo was saying “ I want my mamma where is she “yes where is Kagome” added Rin. It was all Jaken could do not to whack both the children over the heads with his staff but he knew that if he hit Rin that Sesshoumaru would have his hide and he knew that if he struck the Kit that the miko might hurt him far worse . he gave an exasperated sigh and once again said “ Lord Sesshoumaru had said for you both to wait here for him and the Miko” at this both children started to formulate a plan for there escape from Jaken to find there respective parents but just as they were putting the final thoughts into there escape plan Sesshoumaru came through the door with Kagome.
Jaken upon seeing his master fell to the ground but the two children drowned his words of groveling out as they ran over yelling.
Shippo ran and launched himself into Kagomes arms yelling Momma your ok, momma why have you been crying, what's the matter, are you still hurt?” Kagome hugged him tightly and said “no Shippo I am fine and as for the crying I was just thinking about some things but I feel much better now” the Kit eyed her warily and said “ you were thinking about Inuyasha and Kikyou don't cry he isn't worth it momma you are way to good for him he don't deserve you” Kagome gave Shippo a big smile and another hug then turned her attention to Rin.
When Sesshoumaru and Kagome entered the room Rin immediately ran and attached herself to Sesshoumarus leg she was saying “Sesshoumaru-sama you have finally come Rin was getting worried Rin is glad that you have finally came to dinner and that Kagome is with you “ After a pat on the head from Sesshoumaru she released his leg and turned her attention to Kagome who was just turning towards her. Then she attached her self to Kagomes waist and hugged her happily saying .” Kagome-chan Rin was worried. You slept a lot you were bad hurt but you saved Rin and you gave Sesshoumaru-sama his arm back.” Kagome motioned for Shippo to jump down and she kneeled before the little girl and hugged her and whispered into her ear “I am just glad that you are ok Rin”
Sesshoumaru interrupted the children saying that they should all eat so the children broke there embrace with Kagome and walked over to there assigned seats and once again with his hand on her back Sesshoumaru guided Kagome to the seat set for her. After she was seated he sat himself and the trays of food was brought and placed before them all. All that is except Sesshoumaru. Noticing this Kagome asked “ Sesshoumaru-sama are you not going to eat?” He started to reply but before he could Rin spoke up “he didn't wish to upset you he has to eat his food raw" with an astonished look on her face she looked at Sesshoumaru there eyes met and wile nothing showed in his eyes in hers there was so many emotions that he couldn't even begin to interpret them all. Sesshoumaru simply stated “ many find the dining of a full youkai to be revolting and I didn't wish to upset your meal as you have been so long without food ” Kagome recovering from her shock said “ well thank you but its far more upsetting for me if you eat nothing, I have no problem with whatever you choose to eat so would you please dine with us?”
Shock reeled through his mind he couldn't believe what he had just heard but he said “ very well” and motioned the servants to bring his meal that he had intended to eat later. He was glad that he did once he saw her smile at him it was a smile not that unlike the one that she gave the kit when he had first arrived with him.
The meal was noisy and happy Sesshoumaru watched Kagome closely to see whether his eating was bothering her but saw that it indeed did not she would flash him a smile here and there while she happily chatted with the children .he was amazed once again at this girl she really was unlike any Human that he had ever met.
When the meal was finished Rin said “ Sesshoumaru-sama may I show Kagome-chan around the castle and gardens?” Sesshoumaru was brought out of his own thoughts by her question and said “ yes but do not wander to far from the castle” the little girl excitedly grabbed Kagome and with a thank you to Sesshoumaru she dragged her from the room. {She is such a good mother the children love her Rin is already attached to her WHERE IN THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM admit it you like her I DO NOT yes you do} Sesshoumaru shaking his head to clear the thoughts that were getting more and more bothersome stood and went to his study he had work to do and didn't have time to think about this Human miko.
The day passed quickly and happily as she watched the children play and pick flowers and run and play tag she even joined on many of there games as she cleaned the children for dinner she felt a little sad that she would have to leave here tomorrow she knew that even though she didn't know her well she was going to miss Rin terribly.
At dinner the children chatted telling Sesshoumaru all about their day even Shippo had started warming to the Taiyoukai. When the meal was finished Sesshoumaru said “It is time for bed “Rin asked if Kagome could tuck her in and Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru he said “ yes that will be fine once she has tucked in her son” Rin brightened as did Shippo at being referred to as Kagomes son.
After settling Shippo into bed she walked down the hall to Rins room she could see Sesshoumaru sitting on the edge of the bed talking softly to the little girl then she saw Rin sit up and hug Sesshoumaru she stood there in the door thinking {he is so good to her I wonder if he realizes how gentle he is with her} then she walked in after knocking quietly. Kagome sat on the opposite side of Rins bed from Sesshoumaru she bent down and kissed the child on the forehead and Rin said “ Kagome would you come visit after you leave tomorrow?” Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru unsure of how to answer he offered no clues so she said “ I would like to if I am allowed” You may come Visit Rin anytime that you like Said Sesshoumaru then he said when you are done here could you please come to the library I would like to talk to you some more” with that said Sesshoumaru turned and left. Kagome gave the girl one lasts hug and tucked her blankets around her and left wondering what would Sesshoumaru want? I hope that I didn't upset him with my answer”
Reaching the library she knocked on the door he bid her entrance and she meekly walked in to the huge room. Wile she had been in here earlier she had been to emotional to take notice of the room now she looked around in utter shock the walls were lined floor to ceiling with bookshelves and all were full there was a track latter system so one could reach the uppermost shelves. She was brought out of her stunned reverie by Sesshoumarus voice. Looking at him “ I am sorry I haven't seen a library this grand in my entire life” she said a little breathlessly “ he nodded his head as if he understood and motioned her to the bench that he had sat with her earlier. “I have something for you” he said barley looking at her she looked at him and said “what? I don't “he cut her words short and said “ you wouldn't refuse a gift would you?” Kagome blushed red but persisted “I do not wish to be rude but you have been so kind in letting me stay here and heal and you have treated me and my son kindly, I feel as I already owe you “for the first time kagome saw emotion in Sesshoumarus eyes he looked astonished of course it only lasted for a fraction of a second. Sesshoumaru said “Owe me? “ He said incredulously “ it is I who owes you First you save Rin then you regenerate my arm” kagome looked up and said “ Lord Sesshoumaru you have paid me back for saving Rin by reviving my life and as for you arm well your hospitality has been much more repayment than necessary you have kept myself and my son safe from harm wile I recovered ”she had hoped that he would except her reasoning for as curious as she was as what he had in mind for a gift she knew that she couldn't take it if there was anyway out of it without insulting him.
He stood looking out the window with his back to her he was angry that she would refuse a gift from him but also confused at the same time anyone else human or youkai alike would have maneuvered for things and yet she is fighting him over a simple gift. Pushing these thoughts back into the think later folder (its bulging now LOL) he turned from the window and said “ You will accept what I offer as you need it and that is the last word” bending behind a desk he picked up a bow and handed it to her. She looked awestruck the bow was made of some kind of silvery metal it was light weight so she expertly drew back the string and felt the tension it was perfect she looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said “ its beautiful but it must be so expensive I cannot take this but I will accept a regular bow if you have one”
He gave a low growl in frustration and said “you will take this one now don't argue with me” Knowing that he was close to being angry she knew that she had no choice so with a sigh she said “arigato Sesshoumaru-sama” then she diverted her eyes from him to the magnificent bow in her lap it was shiny and silver engraved on it was a inu youkai chasing a crescent moon she looked up and smiled at him. Jaken entered the room at that moment carrying a quiver that matched the bow that was full of arrows and placed it at her feet then he took the bow from her saying that he would finish the engraving and have it returned in the morning as he left she gave a questioning look to Sesshoumaru he saw this and said” your name will be engraved on the bow and a ward placed on it so if it should be lost or stolen it will come back to you within 24 hours.” Arigato Sesshoumaru-sama” was all she could think to say.
He turned back to the window and said “you should get some sleep we will leave just after first light.”
