Another Girl From The Well

Breakdown

Demons kept being sent after Sesshomaru and Kirai, but each time Sesshomaru handled them himself. Kirai made no attempts to move and protect herself. She was becoming dead weight to Sesshomaru, but he refused to allow her to become hurt in any way, despite her hurting emotionally.

Sesshomaru wasn't sure how to help the girl emotionally though, so he just left her alone and to herself. He knew it wasn't the best way to go about it, but he couldn't help it. Deep inside, he felt bad about it, but outwardly he didn't show any emotions towards her. He wasn't sure if showing her any emotions would do her any good in the first place, so he remained his usual self.

Getting Kirai to take care of herself was even harder to do. The girl had no apatite and no will to exist. It was beginning to bother Sesshomaru to no end. He just wanted the girl to do something or emote in some way. However, she didn't. All she did was follow him like a lost puppy. She didn't even look like she was going to cry or anything. She was just blank.

"Kirai. This is the third day you haven't eaten anything. You need to find food." Sesshomaru tried once more to convince the girl to eat, however, she just looked up at him with a blank stare. He could see nothingness in her eyes.

"No..." It was quiet, most likely due to her lack of any energy, but with Sesshomaru's ears, he heard her.

"Very well..." With that Sesshomaru turned and began to walk off the path they were on. "Stay here, and do not die." As he spoke those words Kirai froze in place. She just stared off at where Sesshomaru disappeared until the man returned. In his hands, once he returned, were some berries that a human could consume.

"I thought you didn't eat human food?"

"These are for you."

"No." Well, the demon wasn't taking no for an answer this time. He forcefully grabbed Kirai's face and shoved the berries into her mouth.

"Chew them." She refused so he moved her mouth for her. He forced the girl to chew and then let go of her head. "Swallow them, or choke." The girl decided to chose the best option and so she swallowed the food. Choking would have not only made a mess, but it would be too much of an effort on her part. However, the force from it did cause her to cough slightly, not that Sesshomaru cared at the moment. "Good."

"Why did you do that? Why couldn't you have just left me to die?" Kirai was clearly angry now. Sesshomaru just smirked to himself in response though. That anger was more than she'd done in a while, so he was proud of himself for forcing the girl to not only eat something but to emote as well.

"I can't let you die."

"If it's for Rin's sake, then-"

"It's for my sake."

"What, why?" The girl was thoroughly confused now. Sesshomaru confused her even further by putting his hands on her shoulders. He then shook the girl, shocking her more than anything. "Wha-What are you doing, Sesshomaru?"

"Get it through your head girl. You say you have all your memories, but you don't seem to know me at all. I've been showing you how I care. Have you forgotten?"

"Sesshomaru..." Kirai was hesitant to speak, but something inside her began to snap and she shoved the demon away from her. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I don't believe you! Every word that comes out of your mouth is a lie! You don't care about me at all!"

"When have I ever lied to you, or anyone?" Sesshomaru grabbed the girl again and bent down to face her, face to face. "I may not be able to show it, but..."

"But what?" Sesshomaru then answered the girl by kissing her, right on the mouth. Within that kiss, Kirai was able to feel the love that they once shared between them, causing her to begin to cry.
