Chapter eight! ^.^ Back to the regular scheme of writing and updating…!
******
“So, how was your day?” she had asked, her arms wrapped around him. He imagined he looked terrified to her, and such was his right. He was confused out of his mind. For the life of him, he didn’t know what she was doing.
‘She’s so like Rin… Do they know each other in the real world?‘ he questioned himself, even though that was a thought he didn’t want answered. All he needed was two of them together. ‘Joy.’
“My day was satisfactory, as is any other day… Now would you please remove your arms from my person before I remove them for you?”
******
He couldn’t seem to be rid of her since she’d jumped on him and it was beginning to annoy him. He was accustomed to peace, quiet… And she was disrupting his life. No matter how enjoyable he found it to be. Secretly, that is. Never would he admit he was actually quite fond of the distraction.
But either she was so bored she simply felt the need to follow him, or she wanted something of him. Tossing a glance back at her, he guessed she was bored. Or happy. Or both.
She was twisting and turning, swaying back and forth, dancing to whatever music she'd set her preferences to. She never stopped, always kept moving. The moonlight poured over her body, casting an almost ethereal glow about her already gorgeous body.
'Damnit, I did not just think that,' he thought, shaking his head of all such vile thoughts, replacing them with new ones.
‘Dancing about like an imbecile... How utterly ridiculous.’ If only he could convince himself he really believed it.
******
She almost burst into laughter when he looked back at her, the look on his face almost telling a story of its own. Amazing facial expression, really.
And he was absolutely teeming with them! You had to be around him long enough to see them all, but they truly did exist. She loved seeing them… The way his eyes seemed to smile or frown all on their own, even when his mouth remained that thin line.
Kagome had been following him for quite some time to her enjoyment. She was really beginning to like how he became annoyed with her, how he’d stop and look at her and ask, “Is this really necessary?” And she’d just smile and nod like everything was normal.
The last time he’d stopped, he’d asked if she wanted to be throttled. She had kindly admitted that, “No, I do not want to be throttled, but I’m going to follow you anyways.” And he gave her that bewildered look and gave up.
Quite adorable, really.
******
‘Can’t let her follow me to the palace,’ he thought over and over again, the corruption of Rin the only thing on his mind. She was only eleven and she could be very impressionable at times. ‘Where am I supposed to go? Damnable woman!’
He was ruing the day he’d ever met her, interrupted her thought on the airship… Made the mistake of checking into the disruptions in the Kuroni forest. Honestly, she was almost as annoying as his new designer. And she hadn’t even begun working for him yet!
He sighed as he decided simply to abandon his course and sit somewhere in the God-forsaken forest. If he had nowhere else to go… Nowhere else to be… He might as well enjoy the scenery, even if it did happen to be with poor company.
After some time walking, he found a suitable place to lounge about at the base of a mountain some distance from his palace. He settled himself beneath a particularly large cedar tree.
If he couldn’t be rid of her by simply allowing her time and space to do so on her own… He would wait her out. And damnit she would leave!
******
She was a little confused when he stopped and sat down, but she didn’t mind overmuch. She’d been meaning to ask for a break anyways. His stopping just made it easier on her. She didn't have to worry about him snapping at her for anything else.
She sat beside him and asked, "How do you stay occupied all day?"
His reply came without hesitation. "Land treaties, forming alliances, seeing to disturbances... "
When he mentioned that last little bit about seeing to disturbances, she got the distinct feeling he was referring to her. Probably was. For some reason, that thought made her smile.
******
'Why is she smiling at me?' he thought, thoroughly confused yet again by her strange ways.
He always found himself wondering about her, and he really didn't know why. There was really nothing overly special about her. Sure her eyes sparkled like sapphires and her skin looked so soft he ached to touch her and her lips looked so kissable and her hair looked almost as if it were a waterfall, silky smooth strands falling around her face...
He had to resist the strong urge to touch her, to pull her into his arms and ravish her lips... He shook his head to clear his mind. 'Must not think these thoughts!'
When she looked at him with that worried look on her face and asked, "What's wrong?" he grabbed her hand and hauled her over onto his lap, laughing when she squeaked at the sudden motion. She was looking down into his eyes, flushed from her shoulders up.
She was attempting to ask a question when his hand cupped the back of her neck and pulled her mouth down to his.
