Chapter Six: Kagome's Pain
She stared out at the open expanse of land below them. It was getting dark and she knew they would stop soon so she and Rin could rest. She looked down and pondered about the last two days. This would be the first time they stopped since they left that morning and they were making good time, if what she heard from the servants she was flying with was true. She suspected that they were.
While she was looking down she thought, `There should be a hot springs near that tree. At least there was the last. time.' That was when she realized exactly what she was thinking and seeing. They were flying right over Inuyasha's forest. The place that held so many good memories but the most recent were very bad memories. They were memories she didn't want any reminder about. This was going to be hard. It was made even harder when she looked up and saw that Sesshoumaru was descending to the ground. She quickly thought of were there was a clearing big enough for them to land and only could think of the well until she remembered that Kaede's village was burned to the ground. That meant they were going to land on the spot which was the last thing she actually saw before she met up with the demon lord that she now accompanied.
She saw that Rin was groggy now and almost asleep. There was no way she would ask to go on if it meant Rin couldn't sleep on the ground, she now loved the girl to much to do that to the young girl. She sighed quietly, this was going to be a long night.
Sesshoumaru knew where they were but knew that Rin needed the sleep now or she would not be awake enough in the morning to fly. Kagome would just have to face bad memories. He knew that there was a village nearby that would give them lodging during the night. Yet there was no sent of humans on the air save for the ones he traveled with and they smelt better then the rest of the dirty race ever could. That was when he decided to ask the miko if she knew the direction that the village was in, after all this was were his brother always stopped to heal his wounds.
"Kagome," he said flying next to her, "is there not a village nearby that you and my half-breed brother always stopped to rest at?" The question seemed innocent enough to the great lord but hurt the miko more then he knew then.
It took her a minute to be able to answer without crying in his face. "No," she eventually said, "it was destroyed before you took me into your services." That was all she would say on the matter.
He now knew another reason, besides his brother's death that she was the way she was, her village had been destroyed. That made him want to go on for this miko's sake if nothing more but a stifled yawn cut though his musings. They had to stop, if only to get Rin to the ground. He looked at the miko out of the corner of his eye and saw nothing on her canvass. This was going to be hard for her. He would not leave her alone this night. Especially since she had enough control over the tentsiga to be able to kill herself if she wanted to.
The whole party landed in the clearing that was once a prospering village. It was still light enough for the servants to set up camp so they did so. Kagome set down Rin on a futon which was the first thing that was laid out. Kagome then had a sudden urge to see the god tree, if not the well. So she wondered into the woods in that general area. As she made her way there she noticed that Sesshoumaru's aura was following her. She stopped and he came up to her. Then he said something that would have made her yell at the one saying it if it was anyone else who asked it.
He looked over the camp seeing that everything was going right when he saw her go into the woods. He remembered what he promised himself earlier that day, so he followed her into the place she knew better then he did. He saw her stop and knew she sensed him so he walked right up behind her.
"Your in pain," was all he said. It had been a statement, not a question, but she answered anyway.
"Yes," she said trying to cover her emotions, "this was the last place I really saw and understood before I ran into you the day you found me."
"Why don't you tell me about that day?" he asked, not knowing why but he was not going to back down now. She responded by walking forward into a clearing that held a single thing, an old well.
"Maybe I should," that is what she said as she walked up to the old well, "and I guess this is where it all began."
