With Angel's Love

Part II: Taking Leave

The next morning when Gina awoke, she gave a slight groan. She was still in a still daze from the previous nights…activities. She rubbed her eyes with a slight yawn, when she realized that Sesshomaru was gone. Gina sat up, quickly covering her exposed chest. The young woman looked around, not really expecting to see him, but more in search of the clothes they had discarded so carelessly. Finally, she gave up and stood, and after wrapping herself up in a sheet, walked over to a chest of drawers.

As Gina pulled open one of the many ebony drawers, she heard rushed and agitated talking out in the hallway. She quickly selected a knee-length bluish yukata, and as she finished with putting it on, she walked to the door.

She opened the door a little, and there she saw Sesshomaru, who looked as though he had rushed in dressing as well, speaking to a scarred man with a wounded arm. Gina of course just tried her best to stay quiet and keep her presence unknown to them.

"M-milord…it was a brutal massacre. My finest men were decimated…they didn't stand a chance in the hells!" he exclaimed. Sesshomaru furrowed his brow as he fixed his sleeve. "Go on," the silver haired demon instructed. "These…demons…they said they sought to claim your lands…and if you do nothing…they surely will!" At this, Sesshomaru shut his eyes, as if trying to bottle up his rage. "This is a true act of abomination…" he said, a sinister smirk crossing his face, "But I will not let this happen."

With this stated, Sesshomaru turned to walk away, as if he was already heading for battle. "Milord, wait! Go on your own and you'll be torn to pieces!" the other demon called. But it was to no avail. Gina quickly darted out of the room, and then called after him. "Please, Sesshomaru!"

He stopped and turned, looking at her, looking very surprised. "Gina-chan…I didn't think--" Sesshomaru was cut off when Gina grabbed onto his shoulders. "Were you planning to just leave without telling me anything? Were you? Were you?!" she demanded frantically. Sesshomaru shot the other demon a sharp look, and he walked off. "Gina-chan…I just didn't want to worry you," he said. Gina glared at him. "You didn't want to worry me? Well what exactly did you think abandoning me would do!?" she yelled.

Sesshomaru gave a light sigh, and then leaned down and gave her a small kiss. "I didn't mean it like that," he said. Gina sighed as well, nuzzling against him. "But must you go off to battle so soon?" she asked. Sesshomaru gave a slight nod. "It must be taken care of…regrettably," he replied. Gina felt as though she'd explode from concern. "But…what if what that other demon said was true?! You can't go alone!" she exclaimed. The demon looked down at her, and suddenly wished that is was not his responsibility.

He gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry, Gina-chan, but I must stop these upstarts before they become a problem," he said. Of course, Gina wasn't listening. "Wait…I know! I can go with you!" she exclaimed. His eyes widened. "No! I forbid such a thing! I don't know if I could forgive myself if something were to happen to you…" he growled lowly. Gina pushed away a little, glaring at him slightly.

"Sesshomaru! Do you forget that I'm a warrior? It's my duty to protect those who don't deserve harm! And I'm immortal at that! So you don't have to worry about me getting hurt!" she argued, quickly calming down, "I just don't want you to be alone in battle…especially when I can help you." She then looked up, gazing into his eyes. He smirked a bit, entwining their hands, and then leaned down, capturing her lips in his. They shared a kiss for a moment, then separated, hovering only an inch away from each other. "Did I forget to mention that last night was amazing?" he asked.

Gina smirked a bit, reaching up to kiss him again. A moment later they split again, and Gina released his hands. "I'll go get my armor," she cooed, turning around. With that, she walked off their room, being quickly followed by Sesshomaru.

When they entered the room, Sesshomaru pulled Gina into a warm kiss. She pulled away and giggled. "I thought we had to go and fight some big bad demons?" she said. Chuckling a bit, Sesshomaru handed her the top half of her angelic armor. Already being dressed, through some type of demon ability, and assisted her with her own. As he tightened her armor together, he gave a slight smile. She leaned down and kissed him momentarily, and then muttered, "I love you…"

Being alone for a while would certainly be fun…
