Sesshomaru's Real Mother

Chapter 6

They walked for some time until Toshio looked up towards the sky that was once blue but it now has some orange, red, and a tinge of pink all mixed and blended perfectly. Normally he would have loved to gazed up at the sky while the sun set but since he wasn't alone he had to find a clearing for them to camp in for the night.

While Toshio was thinking this Kagome then was looking around the forest and she saw that it was starting to get dark, she then looked up and saw that the sun was setting for the day. Kagome glanced over at her companion and saw that he had his 'thinking' look so she decided to wait.

Kagome has seen this famous 'thinking' look not only on Inuyasha but on Sesshomaru as well, she had wondered if any of them had noticed that they do this look while they thought.

The infamous 'thinking' look is that they have a sort of far of look in their golden eyes, their jaw is set and have a bit of a frown, and their brows are also a bit forward as well. Kagome has also noticed that they more they think the more their jaw is set and the more their brows go closer together.

She has to admit that it is a bit cute, especially if they think really really hard on something. You know that kind that a child would get when they try to think on anything so hard. That was the kind of look that Toshio had right at the moment she wants to do nothing more than to tease him about his 'thinking'.

But considering that he actually looked like he was concentrating so she didn't dare, she waited until it looked like he was figuring whatever he was thinking about. Finally, Toshio face brighten and before she knew it he had grabbed a hold of her arm and began to lead her towards someplace.

Toshio couldn't believe how he had nearly forgotten about that one clearing that was somewhat near a hot spring and a small waterfall, they could have a place for drinking water and to catch food as well so Kagome could have something to drink and easily catch food as well. Plus, the clearing gave them a wonderful view of the starry sky.

"Toshio! Where are we going?"

"You shall see soon. Trust me, alright?"

"Alright."

After a while Toshio and Kagome had arrived at the clearing that Toshio was taking her and when they arrived Kagome gasped at it, it was absolutely beautiful with all the many different colored flowers and the fireflies that were softly flying around and the amazing view of the clear starry sky. It was absolutely beautiful.

Toshio was happy that Kagome was impressed with where they were staying, he then went about telling her where the river and the hot spring was at. He was then surprised to see that Kagome was most excited to hear that there was a hot spring nearby.

Toshio then had asked her why she was happy and at first she looked a bit confused then realization dawn on her. People weren't known for keeping clean as much as she liked to be clean.

When Kagome had told him why she wasn't all surprised to see his eyes go wide that she liked being clean. Kagome tried to stop herself from giggling at his reaction but she wasn't doing that good of a job at it and so a few snickers escaped here and there.

Toshio was definitely amazed that Kagome liked being clean but then again that would have explained why she smelled so different from all the other humans, who smelled like sweat, dirt, and of death even from the day they were born. But not Kagome, she didn't even come close to what the other humans smelled like.

No she smelled of fresh rain in a spring storm, strawberries, and surprisingly enough sunshine as well. Kagome smell was unique and it was hers and hers alone, Toshio knew that he would never forget her scent . . . ever.

Kagome then later on had asked if she could go and take a bath she felt dirty and didn't want to feel that way anymore but there was a bit of a problem, she didn't have her pack which meant that she didn't have her cleaning supplies with her. At that thought she then quickly told him to forget about it, Toshio was about to lead to the hot spring but once she changed her mind he was confused as to why.

When he questioned her as to why she had changed her mind about bathing her face turned red and for a while she wouldn't say anything, it wasn't until he thought that maybe she was thinking that someone would go and spy on her while she bathed? If so then he would quickly put those thoughts to rest because he wouldn't let anyone get anywhere near her while she bathed.

"Kagome if you are worried about someone walking in or spying on you while you bathe then please don't worry. For I would guard you."

At his words Kagome smiled up at him and thanked him but she then quickly explained to him as to why she couldn't bathe. When she was done she was blushing so much like her face was on fire, Toshio on the other hand was trying not to smirk at her predicament but he had somehow managed to clampdown enough to offer her his mokomoko to dry herself off.

At first Kagome blush like crazy but as she thought about it she had to admit it wouldn't be so bad to use it, after all he was offering it to her for her to us it but then it would end up smelling like her and well right now she was a bit dirty and she didn't want him to smell her stink that would stick to his mokomoko.

Just when she was about to decline his offer and tell him that she would just wait until they arrived at his home to take a bath, Toshio then went about telling her that he didn't mind it at all and he even went about telling her that she didn't really smell bad or anything and that he was surprised that she even thought that at all.

Kagome blushed at his kind words and so agreed, she then followed him to the hot springs where she could then take her bath.
