~...~ Daydream
~ The Masquerade: Chapter 6 ~
Kagome stared out across the camp at Sesshomaru who was sitting against a tree on the other side of the fire. Her grey eyes made contact with his golden ones as he slowly turned to look at her. She felt herself falling into them, losing herself within her once enemy's eyes.
~ Kagome stood and made her way over to where Sesshomaru was sitting. Taking a seat next to him she turned to him and smiled. An involuntary shiver made it's way down her spine as Sesshomaru gently ran a claw across the back of her hand. Red tinged Kagome's cheeks, growing darker as he took her hand in his. She tilted her head so was looking Sesshomaru in the eyes. Kagome watched as his face slowly approached hers. ~
Kagome mentally shook herself out of the stupor she had plummeted into. 'Get a grip girl, you lost your first true love no more than two months ago. You are not ready to move on. Besides, he was an enemy. He doesn't even like humans for Kami's sake.' Unconsciously her eyes drifted back up from the ground to meet his again. A small smile manifested on the demon lord's lips.
'Okay, girl you are really losing it now. Sesshomaru never smiles. I need to get away from here and think.' With that thought Kagome stood, straightening her skirt as she excused herself. "I need to go take a bath. I saw a hot spring a little ways back." Grabbing her stuff she didn't wait for anyone to respond as she left the safety and comfort of the camp.
~{ Maybe we've gone too far
Another emotional tie on me
And I don't know who you really are }~
Sesshomaru watched as she faded from view, his senses on overdrive he felt the fear, confusion and distress rolling off Kagome. 'Something's not right.' He glanced around the camp to make sure no one was paying attention. Feeling confident that no one was, he stood and made his way in the direction Kagome had walked off in.
Shippo cracked one eye open and smiled as he watched the demon lord walk off after his mother. He nudged Rin with his elbow, their eyes made contact and both giggled knowingly.
Another set of eyes watched unbeknownst by the group sitting at the camp. 'Yes, run and comfort her. I now know your weakness, demon lord of the west.' The silhouette of the stranger slipped back into the shadows, disappearing in the blackness.
As Sesshomaru entered the clearing surrounding the hot spring he was greeted by a shoe flying directly towards his head. He caught it effortlessly and smirked. Then terrible screeching noise coming from the water pool caused him to drop the shoe. Covering his ears in a desperate attempt to block it out, he started towards the assailant.
"Hentai!" Kagome screamed as she lowered all but her head into the water. "You...you lecher! Go away!" She didn't have enough time to say anymore before he was in the water and had her pinned in between him and a large boulder.
With his body pressed against hers, pinning her to the rock, and his hand covering her mouth he glared at her. "Stop that infuriating noise. I, Sesshomaru, am not a lecher. I merely came here to make sure you didn't get into any trouble." Not removing his hand he waited untill she stopped struggling. When she finally stopped he removed his body from hers. "I am going to sit on the other side of this." He inclined his head towards the boulder, "Now I'm going to remove my hand from your mouth. No more screaming."
Before she could blink he was gone. "Fine, but if I catch you peeking I will pin you to the nearest tree." When no reply came she sank back into the water while letting out a long sigh. 'Well at least I don't have to worry about anything attacking me now.' Glancing over her shoulder she shook her head. 'He is acting weird, almost like Inu Yasha. Maybe he...' A soft chuckle escaped her lips, 'Why am I even thinking like this? I must be getting sick or something.'
~{ Putting my trust in you
Safe in your presence I will be
If I thought it was the thing to do with you }~
Sesshomaru sat down with his back against the boulder, one knee drawn up with his arm draped over it. He bent his wrist so he could look at his hand. He stared at it like the hand was something he had never seen before. 'I was going for her throat when I started the advance. How did it end up on her mouth?'
Becoming frustrated by the fact that he could not come up with a good answer he let out a low growl. Sesshomaru gritted his teeth and balled his hand into a fist, 'This is beyond maddening, this feeling of not knowing.' The smell of blood caught his attention. Looking to his hand he saw drops of blood falling from his clenched fist.
The demon lord felt the temperature of his blood rise. Then wind picked up around him as his golden eyes changed to red. He willed himself to stop his change. When the transformation didn't stop his anger grew even more. A light pink, almost white, energy surrounded him as his mouth and nose began to take the shape of a dog's muzzle.
A sound caught his attention. He strained to hear it over the crackling from the power of his change. Focusing on it, the sound became louder and more defined. The energy around him weakened and his features started to return to normal. After he had calmed he took a quick glance around the boulder. A full out smile graced his lips as he looked at the woman who had pulled him out of an uncontrollable frenzy.
'You never cease to amaze me, Kagome.' Sesshomaru let out a defeated sigh as he leaned back against the boulder.
~{ It feels like I'm falling deeper into the unknown
I'm losing the fight to stay alone
I'm falling, falling for you }~
Kagome rinsed the last of the conditioner out of her hair. After running her fingers through her tresses to make sure it was completely rinsed she made her way to the bankside; pausing after remembering Sesshomaru was near. "I am getting out, I better not catch you looking." She waited for him to respond in some way. When nothing but silence answered her, her brows drew together as her anger rose. "Sesshomaru," her voice came out in an animalistic like growl, "I mean it."
A small "humph" came from behind the rock and she smiled. Satisfied that he wasn't going to look she stepped out of the spring. She quickly towel dried her body and hair then slipped into her clothes.
Hearing the sound of her clothes rustling come to a halt Sesshomaru looked around to where she was standing. After confirming his suspicions that she had finish dressing he moved towards her. Coming to a stop right behind her he watched as she turned and ran into him.
Kagome turned to let Sesshomaru know that she was done and ready to head back to camp. As she turned she found her face planted in the middle of his chest. Kagome felt the rush of blood come to her cheeks and she quickly backed away while she uttered an apology. Keeping her head lowered to hide the blush she noticed the dried blood on the lord's hand.
Her blush was replaced by a look of worry. Grabbing his hand gently she opened it to look at his palm. "What happened? Are you okay?" She lightly traced one of the red lines with her fingertip. Pulling back her hand she gasped, all color drained from her face.
"Kagome, what is it?" Sesshomaru asked getting worried.
"Your hand. I..I.." Not able to say anything else Kagome pointed to where she had just touched.
Looking down to his hand he saw that one of the claw marks he had left ingrained into his palm was no longer there. 'She has the gift of healing?' He continued to stare at his hand puzzled by what he had just learned. Being deep in thought he didn't notice her reaching out for him until her hand touched his.
Kagome took Sesshomaru's hand in her's and closed her eyes. Focusing on healing his wounds she poured energy out of herself into his hand. Her body was tingling all over and she felt her temperature rise. When her body returned to normal she opened her eyes.
Sesshomaru stared at Kagome in shock, his placid disposition no longer in check. He looked to his new left arm then back to Kagome. Her body was still encompassed in a warm white light making her seem ethereal. They both stood there looking each other in the eyes. Both too shocked to move or speak.
~{ Where do we go from here
Why do we stand in silence waiting for
The other to make a move (yes we do) }~
Kagome looked deep into his eyes, confused as to why he hadn't move, looking for some sign of emotion. Stepping closer a gasp escaped her lips when she noticed them cloud over and Sesshomaru stared at her dreamily. Her body froze to the spot she was standing in as the demon lord took a step forward, closing the small amount of distance between them.
He felt his body move on it's own, taking the small step towards Kagome. Sesshomaru's right arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her to him. Taking her chin in his hand he gently lifted her head and brought his lips down on hers.
Kagome fought to keep from melting into the caressing kiss. 'I am not ready for this.' she cried out in the inside. She ignored the disagreeing voice telling her that she was wrong, to move on and be happy. She stiffened in his arms, placing her hands on his chest she pushed on him gently trying to tell him to stop.
Sesshomaru felt her stiffen in his arms. Feeling her pushing him his heart fell. A small whimper came from him as he removed himself from her and took a couple steps back. His eyes never leaving her face, he watched as she stood there with her eyes closed. Her breaths were coming in shallow gasps, he could hear her heart beating faster.
'Oh my God, he just kissed me.' Her mind was spinning with the thoughts she didn't want to think about. She could feel the moisture on her lips left from the endearing kiss. They throbed in time with her quickened pulse, yearning for his touch again. 'I am not supose to be enjoying this. Not now, not so soon.'
Sesshomaru watched her intently as her face displayed one emotion after another. Getting worried that he had gone to far, causing her to hate him, he called out to her. "Kagome?" his voice barely above a whisper.
Kagome heard her name whispered on the wind, bringing her out of her reverie. She opened her eyes to find herself staring into eyes that held an incredible amout of misery. Tears flooded her eyes as the realization that she did this to him hit her. "I..I'm so sorry" her voice came between sobs, "I'm not ready for this. I'm sorry Sesshomaru" She didn't wait for him to respond as she took off in a run towards the camp.
~{ And how do I feel right now?
Stepping out of my private world into
Something that scares me so you know }~
Kagome broke through the tree line surrounding the camp at full speed causing Sango and Miroku to jump. She packed her backpack as she mumbled her apologies and let her companions know where she was going. She had her bag packed and was off again before anyone had time to question her about what had happened.
Miroku and Sango exchanged worried looks with each other. The only time they had seen her act like this was when she had caught Inu Yasha with Kikyo kissing. Sango looked to Kirara, "Make sure she gets to the well all right." With that the cat transformed into her larger form and took off after the girl.
After Kirara had disappeared Sesshomaru walked into the light of the camp fire. He glanced around the camp and noticed that Kagome was not present, though her scent was still fresh. "Where did she go, Monk?" he asked as he turned his gaze to Miroku.
It then clicked within both the monk's and exterminator's head what had happened. Miroku smiled at the demon lord, "She went home." He watched as Sesshomaru started in the direction Kagome had gone. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. She wants some time alone." When the lord glared a him Miroku paled a bit. "Don't worry, she will be back in a couple days. She never stays gone any longer than that."
Sesshomaru gave Miroku a nod before taking a seat at the base of a tree near his ward. Gazing to the stars, he became lost within his thoughts.
Kirara's feet touched the ground near the well as Kagome slid off her back. Kagome smiled and turned to the cat, "Thank you, Kirara." After scratching the cat behind her ear Kagome jumped into the well.
The black and purple energy from the well dissipated and she quickly climb the rope ladder leading out of the well. Kagome ran out of the well house to her room. Throwing the door open she stepped inside, closing the door behind her, and ran to her bed. She fell onto the bed and burried her face into her pillow.
She stayed like that untill she couldn't breath. Turning her head to face her night stand she let out the breath she had been holding. A twinkle of gold flashed and caught her eye. Sitting up she picked up the picture frame sitting on her night stand. Fresh tears rolled down her face as she looked at the picture of Inu Yasha leaning casually against a tree.
"Inu Yasha, I don't know what to do." she said as she continued to stare at the picture. "I think my feelings towards your brother are changing. I don't want them to though, I am supose to be alone and miserable with out you."
~{ It feels like I'm falling deeper into the unknown
I'm losing the fight to stay alone
I'm falling, falling for you }~
'She is a human, I can't be falling for her.' Sesshomaru berated himself. 'I said I would protect her, not love her.' His conscience argued with him, telling him to stop lying to himself. 'Shut up! I simply bear her presence because I made a promise to my brother.'
~{ Maybe I don't want to know }~
He sighed inwardly as his conscience continued to arguing with him. Telling him to admit it, and that if he didn't why did he kiss her and enjoy it. 'She did taste exquisite and it felt so right, maybe...'
~{ Maybe I want to feel for you }~
A frown pulled at Kagome's lips as she fought the battle going on within her head. 'I belong forever and always to Inu Yasha. I told him once that I would remain by his side no matter what. I can't have feelings for Sesshomaru, I would be betraying Inu Yasha. Besides, Sesshomaru doesn't even like humans.'
~{ Maybe I don't want to know }~
Her inner voice rang out in her head, demanding to be listened to. It told her that the hanyou would not want her to suffer for the rest of her life, nor to be miserable. Before Kagome could come back with a retort it also told her that if he didn't like humans he wouldn't have kissed her. 'He has been acting really protective of me recently. And it would be nice to feel wanted again. Maybe...'
~{ Maybe I want to feel for you }~
Both shouted "No!" at the same time, in two different worlds.
~{ Maybe I don't want to know }~
They both closed their eyes, both ignoring their inner voice telling them to face the fact that they were falling for each other.
~{ Maybe I want to feel for you
Falling deeper into the unknown
I'm losing the fight to stay alone
I'm falling, falling for you }~
