Kagome ran until her breathing grew labored and pain shot up her legs. Muscles screaming out in pain, she fell to the ground sobbing uncontrollably. Her heart grieved at losing the dream of her and Inuyasha while her body recovered itself. She buried her face in her crossed arms as the hot tears rolled down her cheeks. Eventually though, her tears slowed and her mind registered a familiar presence. She felt a chill as she recognized who stood before her prone body.
Sesshoumaru studied the tense girl as she finally noticed his presence. He was just passing through the area, when he smelled a familiar scent and decided to investigate. He considered his actions as he pondered the question of why Inuyasha’s girl would be alone with his half-breed brother nowhere to be found. Not that it mattered of course, the girl was of little use to him when Inuyasha was not with her. The great Sesshomaru would not stoop to using a puny human girl as a way of getting the Tetsusaiga.
Amused, Sesshoumaru noticed that the girl had not moved a muscle since she had sensed his presence. Curious, he decided he would try to read her to see what tricks she was up to. Delving with his mind into her consciousness Sesshoumaru saw the blackness of fear due to his unexpected presence. But to his surprise, the blackness was negliable in comparison to the red sea of pain that consumed her mind. Along the red sea of pain Sesshoumaru caught fleeting glimpses of white that glimmered and seemed to draw him. Intrigued, he reached out to touch it with is mind and was surprised, as a warm feeling of content seemed to fill his soul.
Kagome felt her heart pounding painfully loud in the continued silence. Why wasn’t he saying anything? What’s he staring at? Slowly, Kagome picked herself up off the ground while trying to think of a way to make it out of this alive. Something flickered in Sesshoumaru’s eyes as she got to her feet. It was as if she had interrupted him in the middle of something. She wondered what the taiyoukai could be thinking.
“There are no visible wounds on you nor do I smell any blood on your person. Tell me, miko and the suffering that you bother even I, Sesshoumaru with, for even I am appalled at this nonsense you seem to be doing as of this moment in time”. Sesshoumaru spoke coldly.
Kagome smothered a shocked gasp at the strange question. She looked in confusion at Sesshoumaru for a clue as to what he was up to but only saw his usual expressionless countenance.
“How do you know I feel pain? Maybe I was just tired and taking a nap on the ground? Can you read my mind or something?”
Sesshomaru gave her a bored look.
“In my experience mortals cry when they are in pain. Do not bother to deny it, as I can smell the saltiness of tears on you. Now, answer my question, as my patience grows thin.”
Not understanding why Sesshoumaru needed to know the answer Kagome decided it wouldn’t be a big deal if he knew. Why her pain should matter so much to a cold-blooded youkai like him she had no idea.
“It is my heart that has been wounded.”
“Do not lie to me, you whom are my brothers wench, although beating quicker than usual there is nothing wrong with your heart.”
Kagome closed her eyes and laughed softly at herself. What did she expect from Inuyasha’s brother?
“I would not expect a cold-blooded youkai with an unfeeling heart such as yours to understand the pain in my heart.”
Suddenly, Sesshoumaru’s claws were around her throat. How dare this weak mortal laugh at him, the great youkai of the west lands? He wondered at the girl’s lack of self-preservation. Through narrowed eyes, Sesshoumaru decided that this wench would satisfy his curiosity before he killed her for her insolence. There was no reason that he could not understand, with his superior intellect, what a mere mortal could.
“Listen and listen well, ningen. The only reason I did not strike you down where you stand is because you have stirred my curiosity. For sparing your life, you will help me to understand how it is that you feel such bone-numbing pain without physical hurt. And what is this warmth in your heart, even in the midst of all this pain?”
Kagome’s eyes snapped open in shock.
Sesshoumaru can sense the love I have for Inuyasha? Since when can Sesshoumaru feel love? Kagome wondered at the way the youkai had put it. He does not recognize what the warmth is? Can it be that Sesshoumaru has never before felt the warmth of love? Not even from his family…?

And so, Kagome trailed after Sesshoumaru as he slowly walked through the forest. It hadn’t been a hard choice. She was also curious as to how Sesshoumaru had been raised that he had never before felt his mother’s love. Had he never been coddled when he was born or when he was young? How is it possible that he has never felt the warmth of love of some kind before?
Kagome studied the forest around her with trepidation. She was lost. If Inuyasha and her friends didn’t find her soon she’ll have no choice but to stick to Sesshoumaru. By herself, in the feudal age, she had no idea how to get back to the well. Her family would be worried sick about her if she stayed away for too long. And how was she to collect shards when she was here with Sesshoumaru?
Well, Inuyasha should be spitting mad finding that he lost his shard finder. Then again he has Kikyo to find them so why would he bother to find me.
Kagome sighed at the depressing thought and kept trudging after Sesshoumaru.
