Chapter Four – Suspicions
“I thought she was going to find Houshi-sama,” Sango said in her defense before the makeshift couple. “To tell him something.” She stood around the recovering lord along with Kagome, Kaede, Inuyasha, Anko, and the monk himself. “Kirara’s so attached to her now.”
Shippo scrambled up to Kagome’s shoulder and reported that Ah-Un was also gone. “At least she’s well protected,” the girl sighed.
“But why did she leave in the first place?” Shippo questioned, looking around the group.
All eyes fell on Sango and the young woman gaped at them. “She’d just lain down beside Sesshoumaru then sprang up and ran out.” She crossed her arms defiantly.
Mirouku sighed and stared down at the youkai. “First you, now Rin-chan…” ‘Are you all running from me?’ He glanced at the effects in the corner and wondered what could have sent the small girl running out into the middle of the night. His gaze swept over the still figure once more.
Mirouku leaned down close to Rin's ear, cupping a hand around it to keep his whispered question enclosed within. "Rin-chan. What's the purpose of that fur over his shoulder?"
"Dunno," Rin murmured. "When Rin first met Sesshoumaru-sama, he had been injured." Mirouku's eyes widened as he recalled Inuyasha's blind attack with the first Kaze no Kizu. "He wouldn't move," the girl continued, "And was using the fur to prop himself up. He wrapped Rin in it once"
"Sou... I thought it was his tail or something..."
Rin's brown eyes sparkled and she burst out laughing, rocking back and forth in Mirouku's arm. "Iie! He caught you in it when he first found you. Tail," she snorted. The monk's face flushed in embarrassment.
The monk smiled and shifted his staff, the rings clattering lightly. “I know why she left.”
“Why?” Kagome asked, everyone now facing him.
“She went in search of that… thing… Sesshoumaru usually wears over his shoulder.”
“Ohh! That fluffy pelt!” the small fox exclaimed.
“Why would she do that?” Inuyasha scoffed.
“It doesn’t matter. You have to get her back.”
“Me?” he yelled, fangs bared. “Why?”
“Because you’re the only one who can,” Kagome pointed out again.
“She took Kirara,” Sango reminded the scowling hanyou.
Inuyasha snorted, glaring at every figure that walked with him to see him off. He stared at the monk walking up and raised an eyebrow as the holy staff was held out to him. “Be back… before nightfall,” he was told. The light-colored orbs widened and Inuyasha took the object with a grin. “I have to if I want to make it through the well.” Mirouku smiled and waved as the hanyou took off.
“I’ll wait here,” Sango said. “You go back to the hut.”
“I’ll walk with you,” Kagome interjected quickly. She smiled nervously at the curious stares then glanced at the fox perched on her back. “Shippo-chan, can you stay with Sango-chan, please?” The taijiya and monk exchanged a subtle glance before stepping away from each other. Mirouku smiled reassuringly and Sango nodded. Her smile was directed at the bright-eyed fox joining her.
The conversation between young man and young woman was a simple one; Kagome was curious as to what he would do and say once Sesshoumaru woke. He had no idea. She smiled once they’d reached the hut and then parted ways, the young girl running down the dirt path to head for the well.
With a deep sigh, preparing himself, Mirouku entered the hut where his lover was recuperating. He circled to the left of the futon and took a seat on the floor, his legs folded beneath him. The youkai’s eyelids slid open, revealing dull golden eyes. He couldn’t bring himself to look at the human—an intense wave of emotions had flooded over him.
The monk reached out to brush apart the bangs framing the pale face but Sesshoumaru slowly turned his head away. “Why are you acting this way? I know you’re proud but that’s going to be your downfall.” The glaring human scooted forward and waited until Sesshoumaru stared at him. “Would you really have left me all alone like that?”
The youkai swallowed, his Adam’s apple slightly bouncing, and quietly spoke. “…I told you… when we parted ways…”
“I’d rather have you than your words,” Mirouku smiled, leaning down to place a light kiss to dry lips.
“Bouzo…” Sesshoumaru rumbled.
“I know what you’re feeling. It’s perfectly healthy. I won’t tell anyone,” the brunet whispered, grinning. “But you have to promise to stay until Kaede-sama says you’re better.”
Sesshoumaru took his time reflecting on the situation: he was being treated by humans, and in a human village. The only human he’d ever need was right beside him. “Where’s Rin?”
Mirouku sat back, laughing nervously as he rubbed the back of his head. “She went looking for your pelt,” he admitted reluctantly.
The lord hadn’t even realized it’d gone missing. It, also, was probably drenched in his life’s blood a few miles east of where he’d met Naraku. That had been where he’d first fallen before rising again to make it to where Kagome found him. “Is Jaken with her?”
“That toad!” Mirouku cackled. “That’s what we forgot. He probably died from dehydration or starvation.”
“Heh.” Sesshoumau smirked. He raised his arm and placed his hand over the bandages on his abdomen.
The pair of mikos that had treated him stepped into the hut at that moment. “Oh. You’re up,” Kaede drawled. “I was all ready to force this medicine down your throat, too.”
“Kaede-baachan…” Kagome sweatdropped as she noticed how the youkai’s golden eyes narrowed.
Kaede ignored the child and handed the flask she held to Mirouku. “You do the honors,” she said with a knowing smile. “And make sure he goes back to sleep. Rest is the most important thing for him right now.”
Mirouku nodded, holding the object with both hands in his lap. As soon as the footfalls of the women retreated after they’d left the hut, he opened it and raised it to his lips. Sesshoumaru smirked and closed his eyes. His mouth opened under Mirouku’s and he allowed the medicine to run down into his throat so it could begin its process from within. He reached up and placed his hand against the back of the human’s neck, forcing him closer so he could taste him rather than the bland medicine.
Mirouku pulled away reluctantly, his cheeks flushed, and sat back with a silly grin. “If you do that every time I have to give you medicine…”
“You chose to do it this way.”
The brunet shook his head and turned the cup around in his hands before raising it to his lips once more. The flask didn’t get emptied until almost twenty minutes later. Mirouku set it aside and drew his knees to his chest as he stared at the sleepy figure. He smiled, tilting his head. Sesshoumaru’s fluttering eyelids slid open and he glanced at the already inching away human. He then glanced at the front of the hut.
The blood-dappled pelt was pushed through first and behind it was Rin. Following was a surly Inuyasha. The hanyou froze, wide eyes staring down into his brother’s unwavering gaze. He scowled and tossed the staff at Mirouku. With no departing words, he turned abruptly, his job finished, and stormed out.
Rin dropped next to the futon, the fur obscuring Sesshoumaru’s view of her. “Rin found it far away,” she said breathlessly, a grin plastered over her hidden face. “Then Inuyasha-sama found Rin. Not that I was lost.” She giggled.
The lord slowly raised his arm; his movements were sluggish due to the medicine coursing through his body. His claw ran through the girl’s hair for a moment, causing her eyes to widen. “Arigato,” he murmured, eyes finally fluttering shut to stay that way.
“I wonder what Kaede-sama put in that medicine,” the monk chuckled. The blushing Rin giggled and hugged the pelt closer.
Inuyasha quietly moved away from the hut, his expression unreadable. He sighed deeply and glanced up at the early afternoon sun. It was still early; he’d spend time with Kagome before going over to her world.
