“What do you mean?” Kagome asked, hoisting herself over a fallen tree. “There’s something you’re not telling me.”
“I have told you everything you need to know,” Sesshoumaru replied.
Kagome narrowed her eyes as she fell in step behind him. “But not everything I’d like to know,” she said. “I wouldn’t keep secrets from you, you know.”
Sesshoumaru glanced over his shoulder at her. “You’re saying foolish things,” he said. “I don’t want to hear any of your secrets.”
Even after all he had told her, Kagome could not shake the feeling that there was some part of the story that he had left out, one piece of the puzzle that he was unwilling to put in place. It was a puzzle piece she now believed was cut into the shape of a certain breed of white dog. She had never found it odd that Sesshoumaru might keep a pet for a companion. He had kept a dragon, a kappa, and even an orphan girl in his care once upon a time. But know she could not help but wonder just what he had meant. Taka’s forest, indeed.
She knew perfectly well that he could be a stubborn bastard when he wanted to, but she couldn’t believe that after all these months of holding her hand out to him in friendship he would still keep pieces to himself. There was only one explanation she could think of, and it made her both angry and sad.
Kagome took Sesshoumaru’s arm in a vice. He turned to face her and Kagome looked him square in the eye, though with the gold gone and brown there in its place, it was not easy.
“You’re angry with me, aren’t you?” she asked, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “The story you told me. You gave up your power to disguise yourself. You resent me for it, don’t you?”
“Nonsense,” he said, pulling harshly out of her grasp. “Such power is useless to me in this era. I am not angry. If I were angry I would not have offered to escort you here.”
He turned and started walking again, and it was a few moments before Kagome could follow. It was not the answer she had been expecting, and it took a few moments to process. In her few moments of hesitation, he had managed to put a good distance between them. As she continued to fall further and further behind, eventually Sesshoumaru stopped and waited for her to catch up.
“We are almost there,” he said, and they walked on side by side.
“I have told you everything you need to know,” Sesshoumaru replied.
Kagome narrowed her eyes as she fell in step behind him. “But not everything I’d like to know,” she said. “I wouldn’t keep secrets from you, you know.”
