When Kagome climbed out of the well in the Feudal Era, she was surprised to find Sesshoumaru waiting for her instead of Inuyasha. She wondered how he had managed that, since the hanyou had been quite upset the last time she had seen him, making assumptions that weren't entirely incorrect. She still wished that she could have been around to see Sesshoumaru explain what he'd seen. It had to have been quite the story, if, in fact, he'd explained at all. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if he'd simply walked away.
This was her chance to set the tone for all future interactions, and so Kagome nodded at the taiyoukai and said a soft thank you, all without ever looking in his direction. She then began her trek back to the village. It wasn't as hard as she had expected it to be, but perhaps it was because he chose not to speak as well.
Sesshoumaru was thrown for a loop when Kagome did not greet him with a smile. He had gone there planning to explain to her that their flirtation had to come to an end, but it seemed as if she already knew that. It was a gift in disguise, because he had not wanted to hurt her. Even though he had decided that they could no longer play, he rather liked the miko and had been struggling for a way to tell her without upsetting her. He could not have simply declared that his association with a lowly human was something that could not continue. She might have cried.
The taiyoukai knew that he shouldn't care about her feelings, but that bit had been impossible to kill. He tried, reminding himself of her weakness as a human, of her lowly station, but nothing had worked. His beast considered her pack now and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change that. Still, he would keep his distance. He could not be friendly with her, because it would only lead to more.
When they reached the village, Shippo launched himself at Kagome. The miko caught him in her arms and greeted him with the exuberance Sesshoumaru had expected to receive. Rin was next, followed by Inuyasha. The hanyou blushed as Kagome hugged him and tweaked an ear affectionately, before giving the taiyoukai a victorious look. He'd watched them approach, as if they weren't even walking together, which set his mind at ease. Whatever that had transpired between his miko and his half-brother was obviously over, as Kagome seemed to be ignoring him completely.
The miko said hello to Miroku and Jaken, before hugging both Sango and Kaede, and Sesshoumaru had to grit his teeth to hold back a snarl. Already, he didn't like this. He despised being ignored. He was the Lord of the West, damn it. He was supposed to be respected and feared. Though the miko had never feared him, she had always behaved respectfully, until she began her obsession with seeing him undressed, that was.
Now it was as if she had erased everything that had happened between them from her memory. He thought he had approved of her new behavior towards him, but seeing her being so affectionate with everyone else was nearly causing him to lose control. His beast demanded her attention, and though it went against everything he had decided, he wanted it too. He wanted her to look on him with longing once more. He wanted to hear the way her tone changed as she flirted with him. He wanted their witty, playful banter back. What in the world was wrong with him?
