Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 29:

Do Not

 

 

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk while the other three sat around. They were certain that Lord Gram was helping Naraku. Why else would that man mention his name? They all knew that Gram held a grudge against Sesshoumaru but they never thought that he would stoop so low as to help Naraku. It didn't help that this man, Sano, was trying to get Kagome and possibly even the kids.

 

“We should talk to Lord Gram himself” Irvine said.

 

“I agree with Irvine” Von said.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “I want to find out what he wants.”

 

“I will see about setting up a meeting with him” Irvine said.

 

Koga sat up in his chair “Let me talk to him.”

 

All eyes were on him “And what would you plan on doing when you get there?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“I'll question him, what else?” Koga answered

 

“No” Sesshoumaru said “He'll invite you to have a drink which you would more then likely accept then get drunk.”

 

“I wouldn't accept the drink” Koga said “It would be officially business, nothing else.”

 

“What makes you think that I could trust you?” Sesshoumaru pinned Koga with a hard look.

 

“I'll go with him” Irvine said

 

Koga was about to protest but decided against it when she saw the look in his father's eye. He's been mad at him ever since the incident at the ball.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “Alright.”

 

“We will leave now” Irvine stood “We'll find out what we can.”

 

Koga stood and left with Irvine.

 

Von stood after they left “I have to get back but I'll keep watch for anything new.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “Be careful”

 

“I will” Von said as he walked out.

 

Sighing to himself Sesshoumaru stood. Nothing was going the way he wanted it. He still wanted to talk to Kagome but he wasn't sure now was the time. Figuring that he might as well check on Kagome and the kids he headed to the library.

 

____-----______------

 

 

Kagome yawned and sat up in her bed. It has been one week since the last attack and nothing has happened yet. Dante's wife finally had the baby and she thought it was an adorable baby boy, beautiful blue eyes and blond hair like his mother. She smiled and walked over to her closet to pick out a kimono. Sesshoumaru was finally going to let them go out in the garden since nothing has happened in that week.

 

She could finally go out into the garden and relax rather then going to the library for something to do. Frankly, she was beginning to get tired of reading books and the kids were always so bored being stuck in the castle. Kagome just finished dressing and started to brush her hair when Rin ran into the room. Before she could get one word out Rin took her by the hand and ran out of the room dragging her behind.

 

“Their arguing again” Rin laughed.

 

Kagome smiled. It was so funny to watch Sota and Sesshoumaru argue. Sesshoumaru was never one to argue but lately Sota was able to get him to argue just like a little kid.

 

Hearing a few voices Kagome and Rin stopped and waited behind the corner listening to the two argue.

 

Sota stood in front of Sesshoumaru looking up at him “You should wear red clothes.”

 

“I do, I have red in my clothing” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“No, I mean all red, you have all white and all black.” Sota countered.

 

“I don't want my clothes to be all red” Sesshoumaru looked down at the boy “I like my clothes the way they are.”

 

“But you would look so cool in all red” Sota held his arms out wide to stretch the fact. “I think you need a whole new style” Sota continued.

 

“I happen to like me… style” Sesshoumaru said unfamiliar with the word. “I do not need different clothing.”

 

“You do too” Sota's smile became bigger.

 

“I do not” Sesshoumaru glared slightly at the kid.

 

“Do too” Sota said, the glare having no effect.

 

“Do not” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Too” Sota grinned.

 

“Not” if Sota looked close enough he could have seen Sesshoumaru's eye twitch.

 

“Too” Sota continued to grin.

 

“Not…” Sesshoumaru shook his head. Yet again Sota had gotten him to argue. This was not like him, he does not bicker, much less with a kid.

 

He turned to walk away to see Kagome and Rin standing there giggling. How could he not have noticed him? Shaking his head again he turned in the opposite direction and walked down the hall.

 

As Sesshoumaru walked down the hall Sota looked at Kagome and smiled. He had won yet another argument with Sesshoumaru. Something no one has ever accomplished.

 

Kagome smiled and patted Sota's head “You and Rin go out to the garden, I'll be there in a minute.”

 

“Ok” Sota said as he took Rin's hand and ran down the hall.

 

Kagome laughed lightly and ran down the hall to catch up with Sesshoumaru. It didn't take long for Kagome to find Sesshoumaru. She came up behind him and tapped his shoulder.

 

“Yes Kagome?” he asked.

 

Kagome pouted and moved around in front “That's not fair” she said “Your supposed to turn around but no, you cheat and already know.”

 

“I did not cheat” he looked down at her “I could hear you coming up and I could smell your scent.”

 

“Alright, fine” Kagome smiled and took his hand then proceeded to pull him down the hall to the garden “Come out to the garden with us.”

 

Sesshoumaru only nodded as she pulled him, his hand slowly wrapping around Kagome's. Maybe now would be the time to talk to her. He's been putting it off for too long, he had to talk to her soon.

 

____------______------

 

Kagome pulled Sesshoumaru into the garden and over to a cherry tree the moved to sit down. Smiling Kagome sat sown next to him, watching Rin and Sota play their own form of tag. Sesshoumaru quietly sat there watching the two as well as stealing small glances at Kagome from the corner of his eye. If truth be told, he didn't mind just sitting there with her.

 

“They were starting to get bored” Kagome said still watching the kids.

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru agreed.

 

“I was starting to get bored as well” Kagome giggled slightly “I can only read so many books” she looked at him and smiled.

 

Sesshoumaru started to say something when Sota and Rin ran over to them.

 

“Come play with us” Rin said.

 

Kagome smiled “Alright, just a minute” she looked at Sesshoumaru “What were you going to say?”

 

“Nothing” Sesshoumaru waved it off.

 

“Are you sure?” Kagome asked.

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru nodded.

 

“Alright then” Kagome stood and let Rin and Sota drag her off.

 

Sesshoumaru sighed and leaned against the tree grumbling to himself. The kids always choose the worst times to ask to play or just plain bug them. It happened last time he tried to talk to Kagome. Sometimes he thought that they did that on purpose just to annoy him. He grumbled a little more and settled for watching Kagome play with the kids.

 

A little while later Kagome came back and sat down next to him. She looked at him then laid back trying to catch her breath. Sesshoumaru looked down at her with an eyebrow raised.

 

“Those two” Kagome said in between breaths “Run too fast.”

 

“Tag?” he asked.

 

“Yeah… and I was always it…” she laughed “I get caught too easily, they gang up on me.”

 

Sesshoumaru chuckled lightly “Sounds like something they would do.”

 

Kagome sighed and put a hand on her stomach “I'm hungry and I bet Rin and Sota are too.”

 

“I'll have a late breakfast prepared” Sesshoumaru said as he stood.

 

“Alright” Kagome sat up “I'll round Sota and Rin up.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and left while Kagome pushed herself up and went to chase the kids down.

 

_____--------_______-------

 

Kagome sighed walking down the hall. It was time for both of the kids to go to bed and they decided to play hide-and-seek. Those two were in the garden almost all day only coming inside to eat. Sesshoumaru was with them almost all day as well. He would only leave to make sure the food was being prepared and to take care of a little business but he always came back.

 

`Like a puppy' Kagome thought.

 

Rounding a few more corners Kagome huffed and stopped where she was. She was tired of looking for Rin and Sota, and, she was going to let them know. “Sota, Rin!” she hollered “Come out right now, it's time for bed and don't think that I don't know that it was your idea Sota… because I know it was!” Kagome sighed and looked down the hall to see Sesshoumaru walking towards her. He had a bored expression on his face as he carried Rin over his shoulder and Sota hanging over his other by the collar of his shirt. Rin was laughing and giggling as she squirmed around on his shoulder. Sota was smiling, trying not to laugh but ended up doing so with Rin.

 

Sesshoumaru walked up to Kagome and stopped. He shifted the two as he looked at her. “Found them” he said.

 

“Where were they?” Kagome asked.

 

“Sneaking into the garden” he answered as he started walking to Rin's room.

 

Kagome sighed and followed behind looking at Sota who was still laughing. Sesshoumaru first dropped Rin off at her room then Sota's at his after making the two were actually going to bed and staying there.

 

_____-------_______-------

 

Kagome quickly sat up in bed, breathing heavily. Using the sheets of her bed she wiped the sweat off her face. It had been a long time since she has had a nightmare, but none of them ever bothered her as much as this one did. She laid back down and tried to sleep but she couldn't get that dream out of her head, it was just too much for her.

 

Pulling the covers off Kagome got out of bed. She headed out her door and into the room beside hers. She made her way over to the bed and stood beside it. Hesitating Kagome shook her head and turned back around. Before she could move to the doore a voice stopped her.

 

“What's wrong?”

 

Kagome turned back to the bed to see Sesshoumaru sitting up. His hair fell over his shoulder as some fell down his back. She looked him for a moment seeing his bare chest and blushed slightly. “I uh…” Kagome stuttered slightly.

 

“What is it?” Sesshoumaru questioned.

 

“I had a… a bad dream and I can't sleep” Kagome said.

 

He nodded slightly then pulled the covers back on the bed and motioned for her to get in.

 

“You want me to… to” she pointed to the bed.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at her “I have pants on and why else would you come in here?”

 

Kagome hesitated for a moment then nodded. She slowly laid down on the bed and covered up.

 

Sesshoumaru laid back down as well and checked to bake sure she was covered enough.

 

“Good night… Sesshoumaru” Kagome said as she fell asleep.

 

After making sure she was asleep Sesshoumaru replied in a whisper “Good night, Kagome.”
