The Way You look~

Baby/Chapter 15

Kagome's heart ached as she spent her nights alone, moving from cave to cave in a desperate attempt to evade Sesshomaru's relentless pursuit. Days turned into nights, and still, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was always just a breath away.

One fateful evening, as she cautiously navigated the dense forest, Kagome's ears picked up the sound of heavy footsteps approaching. Her body instinctively froze as she swiftly hid behind a towering tree, peering around the corner with wide, fearful eyes. Her gaze fell upon Sesshomaru's imposing figure, his silver hair flowing majestically as he walked away. A tiny flicker of hope ignited within her, but it was quickly extinguished when she turned her head forward and found Sesshomaru standing directly before her, his face twisted with cold anger.

Defeated, Kagome sat there, her eyes meeting his piercing gaze. Sesshomaru wasted no time grabbing her wrist, his grip ironclad as he began leading her toward Kaede's village. Desperation surged through Kagome's veins as she pleaded with him, "Sesshomaru, please let me go."

However, her words were ignored. Sesshomaru remained silent, his eyes locked on some distant point as he continued to drag her forward. Kagome resisted, dragging her feet to slow him down, but her efforts were futile. She knew she had to find a way to escape, but with Sesshomaru's overwhelming strength, it seemed impossible.

As Sesshomaru and Kagome arrived at her humble hut, the tension between them was palpable. With his cold, steely gaze, Sesshomaru finally released Kagome from his grip. "Tell this Sesshomaru what you have been hiding," he demanded, his voice laced with ice.

Kagome stood by the door, her eyes downcast. She knew she couldn't keep her secret from Sesshomaru forever but feared the consequences if she told him. "I can't," Kagome whispered, her voice trembling. "It's best if you don't know."

Sesshomaru's gaze sharpened as he looked at Kagome. He sighed, a mixture of frustration and resignation. He walked to his desk and began reading scrolls angrily, trying to distract himself from the mystery surrounding Kagome.

Kagome watched him, doubt and uncertainty swirling in her mind. She bit her lips, then turned and left the hut. As she walked away, tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't bear to see Sesshomaru's disappointment and anger.

Kagome walked far into the forest, unaware of where she was going. Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly bumped into Inuyasha, sitting on a tree branch with his sword in the middle.

Inuyasha opened his eyes, surprised to see Kagome. "Kagome," he said softly.

"Inuyasha," Kagome replied coldly. She bowed her head in respect before turning and leaving. At that moment, she couldn't handle anyone, especially Inuyasha.

Kagome soon found a lake and began to meditate. As she focused her mind, her aura grew stronger and stronger, creating a harsh barrier around her. She couldn't control it. She tried to stop meditating, but it was too late. The power was consuming her.

Kagome's aura continued to grow, creating a disturbance in the forest. Animals fled, and the trees swayed as if in a storm. In the dimly lit chamber, Sesshomaru's acute senses detected a subtle shift in the air, a whisper of change that stirred within Kagome. Yet he chose to ignore it, immersing himself further in his work, pushing aside the unease that gnawed at the edges of his consciousness.

Hours passed, and Kagome's body, overwhelmed by the relentless flow of power, succumbed to exhaustion. She slipped into unconsciousness, unaware of the passage of time or the circumstances that had brought her to this secluded realm. When she awoke, her mind was clouded with confusion and disorientation. Darkness enveloped her, suffocating her senses. As she groped around for answers, her hands encountered only emptiness. Panic surged through her veins as she struggled to rise, but an invisible force pinned her down, rendering her helpless.
