Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 26:

A Complement

 

 

 

Sesshoumaru was going to kill Von, no one would miss him really… well maybe Tiara but at the moment he could care less. He couldn't believe it. They were all out riding when a demon attacked and of course it had to go after Kagome and Rin. But the worst part was when the demon made a comment about Kagome. After that Kagome went dead quiet, saying and doing nothing for the rest of the trip. Another think was that she didn't like Erwin either. He could tell by the way she kept fidgeting and moved away every time Erwin was around. Maybe he shouldn't have a body guard for her like Erwin. Maybe she just needed space because even Von scares her. He walked down the hall towards Kagome's room shaking his head, unable to stop thinking about what happened in the stables.

 

----- Flashback-------

 

Kagome had immediately left to her room after they came back. Rin and Sota were still with Von and Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had just finished putting his horse away when he felt something pull his pants leg. He looked down to see Sota standing there with a big smile on his face.

 

“You're my new hero” he said still smiling.

 

Sesshoumaru turned around to leave and Von could have sworn he saw Sesshoumaru's eye twitch. “He's just a kid” Von said and moved over to Sesshoumaru.

 

“The part that makes me mad” Sesshoumaru said “Is that I actually took that as a complement” then he walked out leaving the others behind.

 

----- End Flashback-----

 

Sesshoumaru shook his head. He guesses that he should be used to it with Rin and everything but something was different with Sota. He didn't know whether to be mad that Sota is following him around and looking up to him or not. Why Sota looked up to him was beyond him, he didn't do anything… or at least that's what he thought. Right before he was about to open the door to Kagome's room he herd a scream and then a shatter.

 

Quickly Sesshoumaru opened the door to Kagome's room to see the shattered pieces of her mirror on the floor. Kagome went to grab something else to throw but Sesshoumaru was by her side in a flash and grabbed her arm. She stood there looking at him as he took the object out of her hand. Once the object was out of her hand and set on her vanity Kagome glared at him.

 

“You're supposed to knock” she said.

 

“I herd you scream” Sesshoumaru said “I wasn't going to knock if I though something was wrong.”

 

“I'm fine” Kagome said.

 

“Well, your mirror isn't” Sesshoumaru looked down at the shattered pieces on the floor.

 

“Not funny Sesshoumaru” Kagome pulled her arm away from him.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at her “You screamed, why?”

 

“Because I felt like it” Kagome answered.

 

“And you expect me to believe that you broke your mirror because you felt like it? With a good vase I might add” Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her.

 

“Yes” Kagome turned to walk out to her balcony.

 

Sesshoumaru followed behind her “Or is it about what happened through the well?” Kagome stopped in his tracks “You need to talk about it Kagome.”

 

“I don't need to talk about anything” he back was still to him.

 

“You're afraid of every one in this castle except the children and I” he moved up behind her “I talked to Erwin, he will not be your body guard for a while. Your are uncomfortable around him.”

 

“I don't want to talk” Kagome said.

 

“Well I am not leaving until you talk Kagome, you're even afraid of Von” he grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. He could smell the light scent of salt. “I said I would help you Kagome and I will, but you have to talk to me first.”

 

“But I don't want to talk because I don't want to remember” she began to sniffle.

 

Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome into a hug and that's when she broke down crying and grabbed onto his shirt.

 

“I…I don't want to remember any more…” she sobbed into his chest “I can remember everything… everything he… did. I can still… h… hear Sota screaming” she started to fall but he held her up “Sesshoumaru why, what did we do?”

 

“You didn't do anything Kagome” Sesshoumaru rested his head on hers.

 

“H… he killed my… mom, why… what did she do? She didn't deserve to die.” Kagome cried.

 

“I don't know” as she cried his hatred for that man grew.

 

“I can still feel him Sesshoumaru, every time I look in the mirror I can see him, I can see him in every one I look at, even in Von” Kagome cried harder.

 

Moving Kagome slightly and picking her up Sesshoumaru moved to the bed and sat down, still holding her. Kagome curled into him still crying, not wanting to let go of his shirt. Sesshoumaru sat there, holding her close and lightly rubbing her head in a soothing manner. Soon Kagome cried herself to sleep and Sesshoumaru still sat there and held her.

 

As he sat there, thinking to himself, going over questions and trying to answer them. The main one being why was he so nice? Why was he letting the kids and Kagome make him so soft? Why did he care so much about them? He knew the answer, why he cared so much. He just wanted a family, deep down he was just plain tired of being alone and wanted a family. Of course she would never openly admit it but he guessed he could at least admit it to himself. He looked sown at Kagome and kissed the top of her head. Only around them would he show that he cared, only around them would he show his kind side. Thinking a little longer his thoughts came to Jaken. He's been having that toad do so many errands for him. Within the next day or two Jaken should be back from Von's castle with the book that Von forgot to bring. He was so close to finding the truth about Kagome and he wasn't going to stop now, not when he's so close. He would have to give that toad a break. Maybe put him back to watching Rin along with Sota.

 

Feeling Kagome shift Sesshoumaru looked down to see Kagome curl into him more and shiver. Using his foot he brought the covers up far enough for him to grab it and cover her, he lightly kidded the top of her head then leaned back, making himself comfortable.

 

Kagome woke up later on that evening to feel arms wrapped around her. Opening her eyes she could see that Sesshoumaru was still holding her like he was earlier. She shifted and smiled when Sesshoumaru moved his arms around her tighter, pulling her closer. Still smiling she let him, curling up in his lap and rested her head against his chest. Looking up Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru's face. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, innocent but yet, still deadly. She yawned and put her head back down, closing her eyes. She wanted to love again and maybe, just maybe Sesshoumaru would be the one for her.
