Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 31:

A Walk for Two

 

 

Kagome laughed as she sat in the garden holding a small baby, demon boy in her arms. Dante decided to bring the baby over to show off while his wife rested. Rin and Sota sat around Kagome and watched as the baby grabbed a flower from Kagome. The two laughed along with Kagome when the child went to put the flower in its mouth. Smiling Kagome took the flower away then giggled when the child replaced the flower with her finger.

 

Dante and Sesshoumaru stood at the entrance of the garden as they watched the three with the baby.

 

“It's been a while since she has truly been happy hasn't it?” Dante asked.

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru said “She's trying to hide it but I can tell.”

 

Dante nodded “Give me a few more days and I'll be back.”

 

“Alright” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“It does look like she's getting better thought” Dante mentioned.

 

“She is, she's much better but Erwin makes her uncomfortable and I can't say that I fully trust him” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“I don't blame you, there's just something about him” Dante looked at Sesshoumaru “I'll be back as soon as I can.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded as he watched Kagome and the kids walk over to them.

 

“He's so adorable” Kagome said as she hande4d the child to Dante “And he has the cutest name.”

 

“Thank you” Dante said “My wife and I thought Itaru would work.”

 

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and smiled “I want to take a walk” she took Sesshoumaru's hand in both of hers “Let's go for a walk.”

 

“There are a few things I need to take care of” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Alright” Kagome sighed.

 

“Well” Dante started “I better get the little one home before he gets hungry.”

 

“Very well” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Dante gave a small bow and headed out taking the small child with him. Kagome walked away as well leaving Rin and Sota to stay with Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at the two “You two will be fine here correct?”

 

Both Rin and Sota nodded.

 

“Good” Sesshoumaru said “If you need anything go get a maid” after making sure that the two would be fine Sesshoumaru left sending Erwin just incase.

 

Kagome sighed and walked down the hall. Maybe she wouldn't have a chance with Sesshoumaru after all. Maybe he was just too busy to time to spend with her. He always had to do something to keep her form him. She continued walking down the hall when she suddenly stopped and `eeped' when an arm wrapped around her waist and someone rested their head on her shoulder.

 

She looked to her side to see silver hair “Sesshoumaru?” looking down at the arm she say a clawed hand with red and white fabric covering the arm and knew that is was Sesshoumaru.

 

“Let's go for that walk” he said as he removed his arm and took her hand.

 

“But I thought that you had work to do” Kagome said.

 

“It can wait” Sesshoumaru started down the hall taking Kagome with him.

 

“So where are we going for our walk?” Kagome asked letting an actual smile show through.

 

“Outside” Sesshoumaru said “You wanted a walk so were going for a walk.”

 

Kagome smiled and allowed Sesshoumaru to lead her out the gates. The two headed in no particular direction only intent on enjoying each others company. They walked for a little while in silence neither one knowing what to talk about.

 

“It's nice out here” Kagome said finally trying to start a conversation.

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru said “It is.”

 

Kagome frowned slightly. She couldn't think of anything to talk about. Here she was, holding Sesshoumaru's hand as they walked together, not to mention alone and she couldn't think of a single thing. Sesshoumaru was in the same position as Kagome, there was still that question he wanted to ask and now would be a good time. But one thing kept him from asking. What if she said no? If she said no he wouldn't know what else to do. They were alone; it was the perfect time to ask so why couldn't he? The two continued walking until they came to a tree. Kagome turned around and looked back at the castle. Sesshoumaru stood next to her and looked as well.

 

“It's beautiful from far away* Kagome said.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome “Yes, it is.”

 

Kagome smiled at him and leaned against the tree “Thank you for taking me for a walk.”

 

“Your welcome” Sesshoumaru said still looking at her.

 

Kagome looked back at him and they both stood there in silence looking at each other. Sesshoumaru lost himself in Kagome's deep blue eyes as Kagome lost herself in his golden ones. Neither of them were aware that they were both slowly moving closer to each other until Sesshoumaru caught Kagome's lips in a kiss. Kagome's eyes widen slightly in surprise but quickly melted into the kiss. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and moved closer to him. He lightly ran his tongue across the bottom of her lip, asking for and entrance. Feeling more comfortable Kagome opened her lips giving him entrance which he greatly took. Sesshoumaru greedily explored every inch of her mouth and smirked slightly when Kagome began to return the kiss.

 

When they broke the kiss Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome into a hug. Kagome wrapped her arms around him and buried her head into his chest. Sesshoumaru moved his head down and nuzzled her neck. He took in a deep breath and savored her scent.

 

“Kagome” Sesshoumaru whispered in her ear “Be my mate.”

 

Kagome simply nodded into his chest and held onto him tighter “Of course” she whispered.

 

Sesshoumaru smiled and lightly kissed her neck.

 

Kagome looked up at him and smiled. Sesshoumaru hooked a finger under her chin and brought her into a deep kiss. Kagome wrapped her arm around his neck and gratefully retuned it.

 

Once they broke apart Kagome laughed lightly.

 

“What's so funny?” Sesshoumaru asked raising an eyebrow.

 

“I never thought this would happen” Kagome smiled.

 

“And why is that?” he questioned.

 

“I figured that I wasn't good enough” she answered.

 

“But you are more then good enough” Sesshoumaru said and kissed her forehead.

 

“We should probably be getting back” Kagome smiled up at him.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “Right” Sesshoumaru took Kagome's hand again and led her back to the castle.

 

As the two reached the castle gates they stopped to see Irvine and Von waiting for them and both smirking. Sesshoumaru walked up to them, still holding Kagome's hand and nodded slightly when they gave a small bow.

 

“Kagome is back at the castle with Leena but I have all the information” Irvine said still smirking.

 

“I'm going to go find Rin and Sota” Kagome said trying to hide the blush that was rapidly forming.

 

“Alight” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Kagome quickly kissed Sesshoumaru's cheek then hurried off.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at the two Lords who were still there smirking “What?” he asked.

 

“We saw what you and Kagome were doing by that tree” Irvine said.

 

“We passes by you two” Von said “You were too busy to even sense us.”

 

Sesshoumaru looked at the two then walked by them “I know why Irvine is here but why are you here Von?”

 

“I was just coming to check up on everything when I ran into Irvine on the way here” Von said as the two followed him.

 

“I think it's nice” Irvine said “our little Sesshoumaru has fallen in love.”

 

“Little?” Sesshoumaru questioned.

 

“Yep” Von smiled “Your younger then all of us so that makes you little.”

 

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and walked into his study, the two following behind.

 

“You think he's going to be a daddy?” Von asked.

 

“I don't know” Irvine said “He might already be one.”

 

Sesshoumaru tried to ignore the two the best he could and grabbed the book he had been reading to see if he could find anymore information. He was doing pretty well at ignoring the two Lords rants and raves. That was until Irvine started acting like a child and calling Von `daddy' and Von supposedly mimicking him. He looked up from the book to look at the two.

 

Von was standing with his arms crosses much like Sesshoumaru while Irvine had his hands clasped together and was looking at Von.

 

“Daddy, I want a hug” Irvine said in a small, childish voice.

 

“Of course son” Von said mimicking Sesshoumaru's unemotional voice.

 

Irvine smiled and pulled Von into a tight hug and Von returned it. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as he closed his book. He looked at the two as they hugged then threw the book at them pegging Irvine in the head causing him to fall to the floor.

 

Hearing a knock on the door Sesshoumaru moved over and answered it only to see Kagome standing there. Kagome looked into the room hearing Von laughing. When she looked in she saw Irvine laying on the floor with Von using the same book that Sesshoumaru threw to fan him off.

 

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru “Do I even want to know?”

 

Sesshoumaru looked back at the two then Kagome “No.”

 

Kagome laughed lightly “I just wanted to let you know that the kids are still in the garden and I'm going to take a nap, oh and Erwin is with the kids.”

 

“Alright” Sesshoumaru said “I'll get you when dinner is ready.”

 

Kagome smiled and leaned into the room “I'll see your two later.”

 

Irvine stopped whining and Von stopped fanning him with the book long enough to reply then went back to what they were doing.

 

Laughing Kagome walked down the hall. First she would take a bath then she wanted to take a nap. She wanted some time alone to think about the recent event and figure out how to tell Sota and Rin. With a big smile Kagome walked into the bathing room. Things were definitely looking up for her. Sesshoumaru closed the door and looked at the two Lords, Von was currently pulling Irvine up who was still whining. Sighing Sesshoumaru moved over to his chair and sat down. “Can we get to work here?” Sesshoumaru asked “I still need to hear what Irvine found out.”

 

Quickly the two Lords found a seat and sat sown becoming serious and ready for work.
