Sonya's POV
It hurt to breathe. The way my stomach moved when I inhaled, was to painful. I began taking short gasps, but it wasn't enough. I tried to stay calm, but I began panicking. Tears flooded my eyes at the thought of dying like this. Through my tears, I saw Shesshomaru. I wanted to say his name, but it was too painful.
I heard him say "the pain killers wore off, don't worry I'll get more."
I didn't want him to leave. Though in time me returned, with Lord Inu-no Tashio.
"Lor-" I couldn't finish the sentence....
"Lie still...." he said taking my hand "now Sonya, look at me."
I did as told and looked into his eyes.
"This is going to hurt, but you look at me." He ordered
He unwrapped my wound and placed his hand on the gashes. I looked for a split second.
"Sonya." he said softly "look at me, Shesshomaru is going to hold your hand."
Lord Inu-no Tashio's hand began to burn. He was sealing my wounds. I squinted my eyes in pain, as tears rolled down my face. It hurt too much to scream. Shesshomaru tightened his grip and I looked up at him. He was staring into my eyes, giving me a comforting, reassuring look. He then pushed the strands of hair out of my face and said "you're done."
I inhaled a bit of air. It's still hurt, but I could take a full breath of air without all the pain. I stood up and looked at my stomach in the mirror. It had all sorts of scars, I sighed.
I turned to the both of them, they had wide eyes.
"Thank you."
"You can stand?"
"I guess so, sir, is that a bad thing?"
"No, it's just normally humans would wait a while before standing."
"Oh, is it safe?"
"Should be."
I did a handstand- I felt fine. I did a back bend-I felt fine. Only breathing seemed to hurt a bit.
"Thank you Lord Inu-no Tashio, I apologize for being such a burden." I said bowing. He put a hand on my shoulders and looked down to me.
"Any importance to me or Shesshomaru, isn't a burden." he said looking into my eyes. I smiled as he gave me a hug and went to bed. It felt like having a father all over again, but not.
I turned to Shesshomaru, he gave me a light punch on the arm and hugged me.
"Don't scare me like that ever again!" He ordered
"I'm alright....thanks to you and your father."
"I'm just glad you're aright." he sighed
"Thanks for, you know, getting help."
"It's what friends do."
So I hopped into bed and fell asleep, with Sheshomaru at my side. With him there I had no worries. I could sleep in peace.
"Goodnight Shesshy."
"Goodnight Sonya."
---------------------------------------------
I had a dream later that night about my father. It felt like we were so close and yet, I never remembered. Well until now that is.
~Dream~
I was six years old and my father was training me in sword fighting.
"Come on now, you can do better than that." he used on as we swung our swords at each other.
I swung his sword over my head and twisted my wrist back so my sword would come up in front of me, hitting my father's sword with a cling sound.
"Now that's better." he said putting his weapon down and putting his hand in my shoulder. I smiled at him as he gave me a hug.
~new flash back~
We watched the sun set together, it was our favorite thing to do.
"Will you continue your assassin apprenticing?"
"Of course father, Im gonna be just like you."
He nodded, but he looked disappointed as if the answer I gave him wasn't the right one. It confused me. Then everything became blurry and I woke up sweating with tears in my eyes. Geez what is with me lately!!??
But something wasn't right about where I was sleeping. My head was resting in Shesshomaru's arm!!!oh my gosh body! What were you thinking!? I quickly lifted my head of his arm. He was staring right at me.
"Sorry." I said awkwardly "I didn't mean to wake you."
He scoffed and then smiled
"It's alright, I don't sleep much."
"So what do you do when everyone's sleeping?"
"Pretend to sleep, go off somewhere, think about things, lots of stuff."
I nodded
"I'm sorry for rolling onto your arm and crying and-just everything."
"Were you dreaming?"
"Yea, about my dad, I think he was trying to tell me something." I said rubbing my head
"Are you in pain?"
"No, not at all."
He smiled and looked at the ceiling.
I pulled up my shirt halfway, to see my scar. It was super noticeable, but I knew it would fade away. I sighed about how bad it looked.
"You think it looks bad?" Shesshomaru asked, I swear he knew everything
"Is it?"
he closed his eyes and said no, but he didn't even look. I exhaled, irritatingly and then he opened his eyes again and looked at me. I put my shirt down and looked at the floor. I thought about how guys wouldn't think I would be attractive because of my scar. It made me feel disappointed, but I brushed it off anyways.
Shesshomaru sat up and stared into my eyes.
"I'm sorry."
"Shesshy I told you it's fine. I'm okay now so stop apologizing."
"That's not what I mean."
I know what he meant, but I didn't want to talk about it.
"You feel emotionally upset about your physical appearance because it's been compromised....all because of me..."
"Stop! Okay I'm okay and I wouldn't even be okay without you, so stop feeling bad, your making me feel like saving you was a bad thing and that makes me feel-" I said with a tear rolling down my cheek. I quickly whipped it away and got up.
"It makes me feel like, you think that my life is worth more than yours."
Shesshomau's silence scared me. It sent shivers down my body. I slowly sat down and put my head on my pillow and never turned my head to face him. I knew he was staring at me the whole time, I could feel it. I cried myself to sleep. I thought about how it would have been if Shesshomaru hadn't been moved. How I would have suffered the wrath of Lord Inu-no Tashio.
I later felt a hand on my shoulder and it pulled me over to face Shesshomaru.
"Saving me wasn't a bad thing. I am eternally grateful. But don't you think even for a second, that your life isn't worth mine." He growled
I flinched as he bared his teeth. But soon hugged him after, hoping it would calm him down.
"It's my nature to defend those that are dear to me,its in a freind's genes to help another friend, you have to understand." I said burying my face in his shoulder "please you must understand me."
"Sonya, please don't cry....."
I looked up at him and smiled, nodding my head.
"I'm sorry-"
"No more apologizes, go to sleep Shessy." I felt my eyes getting heavy and my eyes fluttered shut and I soon fell asleep......
