Apologize

 She woke in her room, the voice in her head unusually quiet.

 Kagome frowned as she sat up, a hand to her aching head, wondering why the pain was still there. Normally some rest got rid of the aches, what would be different this time?

 Unless… unless Kotone-sama did something to her.

 “You are awake.”

 The priestess squeaked in surprise, her eyes flying to where the voice had sounded. Sesshoumaru sat unobtrusively in the corner, a cup of steaming something cradled in his fingers. His gold eyes bored into hers for a moment before he placed the cup on the tray in front of him and rose to stand before her.

 She looked at him nervously, her eyes wide as she waited.

 “On behalf of the Western Kingdom, this Sesshoumaru apologizes.”

 Kagome blinked, her breath catching in her throat. Apologize? Why did he think he needed to apologize? Did his mother do something? “What-what for?”

 Sesshoumaru glanced away, somehow seeming uncomfortable. After a moment, he knelt down next to her, becoming less intimidating. “My father… He did not take into account the one he would possess would be a priestess.”

 She blinked up at him, not understanding. “Does that make a difference?”

 “The demonic soul of my sire is too much of a contrast to yours… He’s killing you.”

 ---FI---

 A.N. For those of you who are ‘Uh, Sesshoumaru wouldn’t apologize.’… his father is basically killing her… I don’t think he’s that much of jerk to NOT apologize on his fathers behalf. Just sayin’.

 I do not own Inu-Yasha and Co. Nor do I profit from writing this drabble story, it’s purely for enjoyment. This is meant to be a set of interconnected ‘oneshots’ or ‘drabbles.’ The installments are going to be short. I’m not going to lengthen them unless the story calls for it.

 Please Regard Me Kindly,
