Under the Moon
One soft thud was followed by another and another. At long last a defeated sigh was seized from the woman at the edge of the campsite.
“Damn it, where did that dish go? And where is my spoon?” Kagome mumbled angrily. “Honestly it’s not like they grew feet and ran away or something.”
With arms crossed over her chest, the woman looked around the small camp. Things were quiet, too quiet. But that was what she got from getting separated from the rest of the group. Now that night was settling, she was reminded why she hated being alone in this era. There actually were monsters that hid in the dark, waiting for the chance to pounce.
Many hours passed and found it impossible to sleep. Her power had grown immensely and she could sense auras as far as a couple miles away, and if the power was large she could sense it as far as five miles. As the moon near the zenith Kagome noted a strong aura drawing closer to her camp before it suddenly vanished.
Aware that it could probably sense her, she put up another barrier and waited, watching the shadows created by the circle of trees around her. After awhile she thought she saw something move and her bow rose into position as she waited for any sign of being attacked.
A twig snapped behind her and she whipped around to face the new possible area of attack. In the corner of her eyes though, she noticed a figure step to her right. She turned her head to face the one and only Sesshomaru. A smile found its way to her head before she rushed forward to wrap her arms around his chest.
“What are you doing here?” she asked pulling away only far enough to look up to the stoic male.
He said nothing, he didn’t move to return the hug, but Kagome didn’t move.
“Sesshomaru?”
“This Sesshomaru ran into the half-breed. You weren’t there so this Sesshomaru thought it would be best to track you.”
Kagome’s grin widened. “You were worried about me?”
“Hn,” he concluded.
“Does that mean you will be staying the night with me?”
“Seeing as you are incapable of carrying for yourself, this Sesshomaru will see to your safety.”
There time alone was rare and precious the Kagome. She took the pale, striped hand into hers and led the inu to a tree to sit against. As he settled, the miko sat down, using the inu’s arm as a pillow.
“The moon is beautiful tonight,” she mumbled, “That cloud just over it kind of looks like a cow jumping.” Kagome looked at Sesshomaru after hearing a soft sound. “Did you just laugh?”
Golden eyes preyed upon hers for a moment. “Koi, you are a mystery to this Sesshomaru. A mystery that is impossible to solve. You’re independent, caring, protective, stubborn, loving, and a joy to be around. However, you are very much like a child.”
Kagome stilled, she had been with Sesshomaru for nearly a year now and never had he called her as he did now.
“Koi?” she whispered.
Sesshomaru said nothing more, simply stared at the woman watching him.
