Blood Stained
Chapter 66: All I Wished For
Familiar warmth was surrounding her as she opened her eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize that it was coming from Sesshomaru. The tiniest smile was drawn on her lips at the thought and she made sure she was not moving just in case he was still asleep. From what she had gathered from the new Sesshomaru, even if he had awoken an hour ago, he'd still be in bed.
The seconds ticked away and a nice sensation of comfort was forming around her. This was nowhere near as bad as she thought, not that she believed it would be horrible… it just wasn't… uncomfortable. It was while she was paying attention to everything surrounding her that she noticed his heart was pounding since she could feel it against her back.
He was awake.
"Sesshomaru?" she asked, her voice was barely half a whisper.
It required a bit of time, but he finally replied. "Yes?"
She couldn't help but allow her smile to grow; she had called it right. She almost wanted to ask how long he had been awake but she kept that question to herself. Slowly, she turned around to lie down on her back so she could look at his face. His eyes were wide open and it seemed as though he had been awake for a long time.
"Good morning," she said while trying to prevent herself from blushing.
This was the close and intimate interaction she had been thinking of but since they did not have much of that kind of interaction normally she was a bit unsure of how to proceed. Nonetheless, she tried to remain as relaxed as possible. The point of this was to get closer and be comfortable around each other, thus she would make sure she put in as much effort as it required.
"Morning Kagome."
There was something about the way he said her name that often made her heart skip a beat. Perhaps it was because he had never used it in the past, and still barely did nowadays, but it sent jolts through her body. She pinched her lips together for lack of other reactions, unsure of what to say.
Sesshomaru wanted to glow just like she did, but his worry was preventing that. Since he had woken up over two hours ago he hadn't desired to move, afraid that he would have disturbed her sleep. Unfortunately that meant he hadn't been able to ease his concerns from the previous night. Was he still bleeding?
Even now, he could not verify it because if there was still blood, Kagome would see it and that was the last thing he wished for. Instead, he had to look as peaceful as possible until she left the room. A part of him wanted to curse out loud for this problem ruining this moment, but there was no way around it. All he could do was tighten his hold on her waist, his hand gently pressed against her hip.
"I could make breakfast. I mean, my cooking is great, in my opinion, though Inuyasha always-"
It wasn't until she had said too much that Kagome caught herself and stopped. Yet it was too late since the damaged had been done. She closed her eyes, not even wanting to look at Sesshomaru. This was a good moment and she had brought forth a bad memory ruining it all.
Sesshomaru peered away from her, his heart sinking a bit. "I wish I could take it back, but I can't."
Inuyasha was a very sensitive subject for him. They had discussed it in the past, and though along with many things it had been suggested for him to overcome what had occurred, he could not do it. Yes, it had been inevitable and he had been left with no choice but he wished his younger brother had lived.
He had no desire to have this conversation again, especially not now. Perhaps Kagome wished to discuss it, but this was one of the times where he would allow himself to be selfish. He had enough guilt weighing on him now more than ever since they had agreed to try and be normal.
Sesshomaru had no intention of forgetting how lucky he was to have her.
"Breakfast would be great."
Kagome slowly nodded in understanding. Inuyasha's death had hurt her a lot, she would not deny that. Also, she had no forgotten her friend, but deep inside she was well aware that this was perhaps more difficult for Sesshomaru then it was for her. If he was not ready to speak about it, she would not force him. After all, he had never made her talk about things she didn't wish to discuss.
She put a smile back on her face before nodding. "Breakfast it is."
For a while she had actual pondered if they would go through with the whole normal life thing, but it appeared that so far they were.
"I need to get up," she said, glancing down at his arm.
Quickly Sesshomaru removed it, making sure he did not move his head. This was one of those times where he missed his long hair; it would have been very useful to hide the blood stain that he was hoping wasn't there. Still, from his angle he could observe her carefully as she rose to her feet, her messy hair cascading down her shoulders.
She was breathtaking.
Kagome peered his way for a second before turning around and heading for the kitchen with a little sprint in her step. Her shirt was half raised, revealing just a tad bit of the skin on her back. Just enough to give him an evil glimpse.
As soon as she disappeared completely from his view, he lifted his upper body up and rushed to glance at his pillow. It was then that he found a small spot of blood staring right back at him. At that point, Sesshomaru couldn't tell if he was relieved or not since there were two explanations for the blood.
Either it was blood residue from the bleeding he had hours ago, or it was new blood that had leaked from his ear during the night. He much preferred the first option and he hoped it was that one. Nonetheless, he couldn't discard the fact that he might have bled again, and it did bring a bit of concern forward.
He wiped his cheek with his hand, along with his ear, but once he looked at his hand, he saw nothing. Perhaps he was in luck and the whole bleeding thing had ceased. Sesshomaru allowed himself to take a deep breath prior to getting up from the bed. He pushed the blanket off and pressed the soles of his feet against the cold floor.
Sesshomaru was already able to hear sounds coming from the kitchen and he raised an eyebrow. He wasn't sure what kind of breakfast she was making, but it sure required a lot of… pans? He tilted his head to the side ever so slightly trying to see if something would come crashing down. After a few seconds, he noticed that nothing happened and decided that perhaps it was safe to go in there.
As he walked in direction of the kitchen he felt a bit awkward because of the way he was dressed. Usually he was always, showered, proper, and clean dressed. Now his clothes were nothing more than night clothes and his hair was a mess. It felt almost too casual, and he didn't know just how comfortable he was with that, which was strange since he had been naked around her more than once.
He straightened his shoulders a bit, before peeking into the kitchen. The first thing he noticed was Kagome standing in the kitchen, right in front of the stove, three pans on the counter, one ready to fall. He arched an eyebrow, a bit perplexed. He wasn't an expert at cooking, but he had a feeling she wasn't doing it right.
"Is everything well?"
Kagome jumped at the sound of his voice. Quickly she spun around, holding the spatula in her hand as if she was ready to hit someone with it. "Don't do that!" she said, her eyes opened wide.
She was slightly annoyed at herself at the moment and hadn't expected him to see it. She had attempted to make eggs but hadn't found the spatula in time meaning the eggs had the time to burn. Thus, it had led her to find a new pan, but while doing so, she had banged her head on the counter, causing one of the pans to fall on the ground.
And now, well chances were she would ruin these eggs too.
"Sorry… I just… I'm usually better."
Kagome was well aware that did not sound very truthful at the moment, but it was the truth. She sighed heavily before she finally put the spatula down. "I just don't know this kitchen very well."
Sesshomaru chuckled just a bit as he leaned on his right foot so that he could grab the menu. He then preceded to hand it to her. "Perhaps room service would be safer."
She pouted a bit but agreed. It had been so long since she had actually done something for herself that it seemed she had lost her touch. Usually she had provided both for her friends, and also in the hunt. Ever since Sesshomaru had entered her life, she had been shoveled around and everything had been taken care of.
Kagome took the money from him, and began flipping through the menu. "Pancakes?" she asked with an eyebrow arched.
He shrugged. "Why not?" Though he could eat, and even though he was half human, half youkai at the moment, he didn't really do it very often. But if it would make her happy to have breakfast with him, then he would go along.
Kagome nodded before giving him the menu. "I don't think my languages skills are good enough for me to order."
Sesshomaru took the menu from her before heading for the phone while Kagome watched his every move. Now that she could take a good look at him, she couldn't help but notice the unusual attire. Sesshomaru did not do casual. Though a normal t-shirt and jeans would not be bad on him. Perhaps he would try it one day.
However, the thought of him not wearing his suits was almost making her laugh. Since she had known him he was always proper and it would be way too out of character. If five hundred years had not managed to change his clothing style, nothing would.
She bit on her bottom lip as she sat down on the nearest chair. She was about to have breakfast with Sesshomaru, like a normal couple would, and it was just dawning upon her that she did not know what they could talk about. Usually there was not a silence between them, but since it would now be expected of them to talk, she was afraid that they would have nothing to say.
Kagome was a bit nervous and began tapping her fingers against the table, awaiting his return. It was but a minute later that Sesshomaru came back into the room and put the menu back where it belonged. He made eye contact with her prior to sitting down right beside her. He had considered sitting in front of her, but he felt it would not only be awkward, but it might offend her if he sat close.
"It shouldn't be too long."
She nodded, before glancing down at her hands. If she thought she was hiding her nervousness well, she was wrong since it was the first thing Sesshomaru noticed. The point of this was to make them more at ease around each other, not the other way around. He usually respected the boundaries of private space and whatnot, but he decided to invade them a bit.
He was not one to be bold, but he could try.
Sesshomaru reached out for her hands, and untangled them to allow himself to hold on to one of them. He wrapped his fingers with hers, and smiled just a little. "Are you nervous?"
Caught. "It's just… we never did normal. I don't think I know what normal is anymore."
He wasn't really experienced in the domain of comfort, and he didn't always know the right thing to say, but he would have to attempt it. It was obvious she was a bit lost, and though he was just as nervous as she was, one of them had to be stronger and lead. As long as he didn't push it, everything should go smoothly.
"Normal is not always how you have to do things."
They could have their own version of normal.
"I know, I just. This, us… it could work."
They had so many things standing in their way, including a heavy path; yet, a future could be there for them. The only thing they had to do was be ready to put in a lot of effort and be very involved emotionally. It would be a hard path but after everything that happened, she was ready to go through one more hurdle to perhaps find happiness.
After all, if she did not give it a chance, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Sesshomaru used his free hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. He couldn't explain why but the more she allowed him closer, the closer he wanted to be. Perhaps it was because as mates they hadn't had a lot of contact for aboutfive hundred years and he wanted to touch her. Her skin felt smoother than anything he ever touched, her eyes were glowing like jewels, and her lips were as red as blood.
He wanted nothing more than to caress her entire body with his fingertips for hours, watching her squirm under his touch. He wanted to press his lips against every inch of her skin, tasting her porcelain flesh. He wanted to feel her press against him while he made love to her, and brought her to a world she had yet to know.
At his own thoughts, he almost felt himself flustered. This was not the kind of thing he should be thinking at the moment. Yet, as he tried to forget, all that filled his mind was the dream he had a while back. Needless to say, it was not helping.
"Are you okay?"
As she glanced at him with concerned eyes, he nodded. "It's a little hot in here."
Somehow he had a feeling that this whole normal breakfast thing had gotten a lot more complicated. If he could keep his perverted thoughts out of his mind, perhaps he could handle this.
Though for him to do that, she had to stop looking at him with those shiny eyes.
Kami, what was he? A pup running high on hormones?
-B-
Kagome was sitting on the bed, her legs crossed; attempting to watch television but her mind was not focused. All she could think about was the events that had transpired between her and Sesshomaru. Breakfast had gone fine, and they had made a bit of conversation, though when it came to casual talk, they were a bit awkward. Still, it had gone smoothly.
Except for one thing.
The entire time Sesshomaru had seemed like he was in another world. Had he been bored? Hadn't he enjoyed it? The whole process wouldn't work if Sesshomaru didn't like it. She hoped he would share, but he had not yet. And now, he was taking a shower and she could only wait.
A sigh left her as she uncrossed her legs to let them dangled from the bed. Even Kiyoshi could not keep her mind occupied; once she had fed him, he had quietly gone back to bed for a nap. It was not unusual for her son to sleep a lot, but then again, she knew that he was good at being quiet when something was going with her and Sesshomaru.
It was no surprise since he seemed to be able to sense their auras.
Meanwhile Sesshomaru was in the shower, pressed against the wall, the cold water running down half his body. He was not one to require such thing usually, but this situation was different. Now that he thought about it, for the entire five hundred years he had been without her, he had not been turned on. The whole thing had not even crossed his mind.
Beyond everything, it was not as if he had been required to seduce someone for a while and he did not know how it worked anymore. Although, perhaps he had never known since it wasn't as if he had flirted in the past.
It was as he finally flashed his eyes open that he took conscience of the amount of time he had been in the shower. He didn't wish for Kagome to think he was avoiding her after their breakfast. He knew he had ruined the whole thing a bit, especially when he had let go of her hand and had not interacted as much.
He hadn't meant to, he had just tried to control his own thoughts.
Even now this cold shower was not helping. He doubted it would anyway.
He sighed heavily as he reached out for the knob and turned it off. Sesshomaru waited for a few seconds before stepping out, his wet feet dripping on the little dark blue carpet. He reached out for a towel, quickly wrapping it around his waist before going and standing in front of the mirror.
Sesshomaru couldn't help but stare at his reflection. He looked exactly the same as he did five hundred years ago and he was unsure if it was a good or bad thing. In a way it was good, since she had not changed either, though it hadn't been centuries for her yet.
That brought forward the question he had been dreading, just exactly how long would she live?
Before he could allow himself to think about it, he quickly shook his head. He would not think about that yet. He had more than a century left with her for now, and that would be all he would focus on for the time being.
He ran his fingers through his wet hair before grabbing his shirt and hurrying to button it up. Sesshomaru then dropped the towel and put on his pants, trying to rush and make it back to her side. Once his towel was in the basket, he calmly exited the bathroom only to find her sitting on the bed.
As soon as he stepped into the room, she turned her head to look at him. He offered her a small smile before joining her on the bed. As he sat down, some of the water in his hair dripped down upon his light grey shirt. Unconsciously, Kagome reached out for his hair and gently ran her fingers through the wet strands.
Since he didn't pull away, she assumed he was back in the real world with them. "Are you okay?"
Maybe she shouldn't ask, but she wanted to know. Could it be that he was still thinking about Inuyasha? She hoped not, because then she would be to blame.
Sesshomaru was stuck; he had to glance into her eyes, but that also meant he would have to tell her what was on his mind. He knew that she wanted him to be honest, and that he had expressed that he desired her before but he wasn't sure how comfortable she would feel with it.
"It is a small problem I'm having, it is no trouble."
Kagome felt a small tug at her heart at his words. He had a small problem? He was allowed to have his own problems, but she felt a bit bad that he didn't want to share. He was allowed to have his own personal thoughts, but she hoped that they were past dealing with things on their own.
It didn't take Sesshomaru too long to realize he had made a mistake. "I just don't want to offend you."
Kagome shook her head. "It's fine. I mean you have your problems, I have mine."
Sesshomaru felt like smacking himself. He didn't want Kagome to retract from him; it hadn't been what he had planned at all. It appeared that the only way to get himself out of the situation was to embarrass himself. At least, it would spare her feelings.
"I'm afraid that my own mind is betraying me. I have stayed further from you because of certain thoughts I've been having."
"Certain th-"It was only half way through her sentence that she realized what he meant.
The tiniest blush crept up on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but glance away. It was flattering, she was not denying it, but she had no way to reply to him. What could she possibly say? She could not really help with the problem in the end. Technically she could, however it wouldn't be right, not currently at least.
She went to pull her hand away from his hair, when he suddenly grabbed her wrist, ceasing her movements. "Don't."
Sesshomaru didn't know how to explain to her that he needed some of this. The little touches and smiles. He wasn't sure if it helped, but he did feel a bit better. He didn't require as much sleep, he wasn't drained all the time, and the pain in his chest wasn't there. Lately they had been around each other a lot, and he really believed it had made a difference.
However it also meant he was seeking her attentions more.
Only question was, did all of this have the same effect on him as it did on her?
He could ask. "Do you not feel improved lately?"
Granted she might not see the difference since as a human she already required more sleep than he did.
"Improved?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Do you feel as if you have a bit more energy? Are you less drained?"
Kagome inclined her head back, her hand resting on his shoulder since he had released her wrist and thought. She could remember a time where all she did was sleep…. Did she still do that?
"I guess my sleeping pattern has been normal."
"Any pain in your chest? Any feeling of uneasiness?"
She pinched her lips together for a second, as she pondered before shaking her head. "No."
"I'm not sure if you remember when Izumi told us the pain and the tiredness would go away if-"
"We were closer," she finished for him.
She hadn't thought about it much after it had been said. It really wasn't her fault; they had been so busy since then. Though now that she was thinking about it she realized that it was true, it had helped a little. Was that why Sesshomaru was having those kinds of thoughts? Because it made him feel better?
"We were apart for a long time," he began explaining, knowing that being bluntly honest with her was the best way to go "and we are mated. Sometimes, it's more difficult for me. Mates are supposed to be affectionate."
Kagome bit her bottom lip as she quickly nodded. Of course, she hadn't thought about that. As a matter of fact, she didn't even know what it would feel like to feel that kind of emptiness inside. It had taken Sesshomaru a long time to even bring it up, meaning he had been holding himself back for a while now. At least, it was the assumption she was making.
It was a self-control his beast had not known in the past.
"I-"
Sesshomaru didn't allow her to speak. "You do not need to say anything. I was merely informing you."
He had nothing to hide from her, especially not himself. No he wouldn't tell her the many things going through his mind but he could share the basic of the situation. He had no reason to keep anything from her. Lies brought nothing forward except more lies and deceit.
Sesshomaru bent forward and captured her bottom lip in a kiss. Kagome stayed stunned for a second and prior to her being able to react he had already pulled away. There was a ghost of a smile upon his lips as he sat beside her, still able to feel her moist lips against his. Why did she have to be addictive?
He expected her to remove her hand from his shoulder but she didn't. Instead she seemed quite fascinated by his face. She was not saying a word, but he noticed her eyes scanning him. Sesshomaru had to admit he was a bit intrigued, but he decided to wait until she would speak or look away, whichever happened first.
Kagome knew she was staring; yet she couldn't stop. There was something about his markings that fascinated her. Kiyoshi had some as well, and she had found herself more than once tracing them. She hadn't done it as many times with Sesshomaru, mostly because she was afraid it was a strange thing to do, or that he might be annoyed by it.
Once she finally realized that he was watching her watch him, she blushed a bit. "I just- I mean, you're handso- No, I meant, not that you're not, I just-"She popped her lips together. "Okay. I think I've said enough for today."
They both couldn't help but slightly chuckle at the awkwardness of the moment. "I'll take it as a compliment," he said with devilish eyes.
"Oh. Yeah. A compliment. Why not?"
If Sesshomaru didn't know any better he was ready to say that she was making some sort of attempt at teasing him. He couldn't even recall the last time something like that had happened. Although the atmosphere was now light, he felt like saying something and it was burning on the tip of his tongue.
"You're absolutely beautiful."
Forreasons she didn't understand, Kagome had been having a low self esteem, and that made him frown. He didn't know what she saw in the mirror, but apparently she wasn't looking right. There was not one thing wrong with her, no matter what she said. He just wanted to make sure she knew that.
Her heart fluttered a bit. Sesshomaru had a way with words, or perhaps it was the way he said them, but he did make her feel the things he said. Frankly she hadn't been given much time to worry about herself lately, which in a way was a good thing.
"Thank you." She felt a bit dorky answering his compliment that way, but she didn't know what else to say.
Sesshomaru gently cupped her cheek with his hand. "May I?"
Instead of answering with words, she found herself nodding.
Kagome expected him to kiss her, but instead he inclined her head back, exposing her neck to him. He pressed his lips along her throat, causing her to shiver. Sesshomaru hadn't been this forward or sexual… ever really. There was a small fear developing inside of her, almost screaming at her, but she held it back.
It was telling her he might take it too far, and then she'd fall back into that circle. Of course, she decided to ignore the voice. Sesshomaru wasn't like that; he had never been like that. Even if it was difficult at times, she had to put her faith in him. He wouldn't do what it had done to her. Not then, not now.
No matter what had happened, she could tell that now he cared about her. He wouldn't hurt her in that fashion.
Once he left a shivering feeling all over her neck, he pulled away, causing her to come down from a sort of daze. Sesshomaru gave her a small apologetic look. He knew she was comfortable with it but he found himself feeling like an animal. He wanted her and he could control himself, but he was still afraid that one day he would make a wrong move and scare her away.
"Well this is normal," she said trying to clear the air.
She was about to offer him a smile, when suddenly he watched her expression drop as she frowned. "Is that blood?" she inquired as she moved forward a bit.
Sesshomaru wanted nothing more than close his eye and sigh heavily, but that would give it all away. Instead he made sure to keep a mask on while he raised an eyebrow as if this was the first he heard of it. No, lying to her wasn't something he wanted to do, and he prided himself on being as honest as possible, but this he couldn't do.
Perhaps it was because he himself was unsure of what was happening and he didn't need someone else worried, or perhaps he just didn't want to concern her over something that was most likely nothing.
He raised his hand and touched the spot he knew was bleeding, only to feel a bit of the thick substance underneath his fingers. Why had he known this was going to happen? He felt like sighing in frustration, but he held himself back. He brought his hand in his field of view and glanced at it. The red blood was staring right back at him.
Sesshomaru then looked up, only to find a concerned Kagome peering his way. He would have to come up with something to tell her. She would not allow him to dismiss this as if it was nothing. His brain overworked while he attempted to come up with anything that might sound realistic.
"I hm, I haven't had my claws in a while. I must have cut myself while I washed my hair."
Unlikely that would ever happen to him, but Kagome might buy it. The concerned look didn't leave her eyes, but she didn't seem suspicious either. It took a few seconds for her to finally rise to her feet. "I'll get something to clean up the blood."
As she ran for the bathroom, her mind was pondering the issue. Would Sesshomaru really be clumsy enough to cut himself? Then again, she wasn't one to talk; she had done a lot of clumsy things in the past. It happened to everyone, especially when they were distracted, and he seemed to be.
Once in the bathroom, Kagome grabbed a towel and wet it, only to rush to his side. She sat back down on the bed and began wiping away the blood from his ear. "I guess that's what happened to the crib."
The crib? "What happened?"
"Oh, there are claw marks or something, I'm not sure. It was damaged."
She had quickly noticed when she had picked up Kiyoshi this morning. At first, she had even considered that perhaps their son had done it, but now that he said he wasn't used to his claws anymore… Maybe he had held on to the crib a bit too tightly and had ended up grazing his claws against it or something.
Sesshomaru immediately eyed the crib but couldn't really distinguish the damage from that far. He chose to wait until she was done wiping the blood, before getting up. Once she pulled away, he rose to his feet and headed for the crib. His hand touched it and his fingers began mapping the dent. There was no way he had done that with his claws.
"I do not believe I did this."
Kagome's eyebrows rose. "You think… Kiyoshi did it?"
Definitely not. He was almost certain his son couldn't do something like that. Though there weren't many explanations left. "Perhaps."
He had displayed some use of power in the past, it couldn't be the craziest thing right? Though it did make Kagome worry a bit. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her son. If he had no control over his power, he might end up hurting himself one day.
"Seem like you both need to control yourselves," she said as she stood up.
Kagome joined Sesshomaru by the crib and glanced down at her sleeping son. She would keep an eye out for him, and make sure nothing too bad happened. Kagome also found herself a bit worried for Sesshomaru. All she could do was hope that it was nothing more than a scratch. What else could it be?
Meanwhile Sesshomaru was far in his own mind. The blood he had found this morning might have been residue from the previous night, but this one was definitely new. Now his new problem was he didn't know how to keep the lie alive. If this happened again, he couldn't keep telling her that he scratched himself.
It didn't leave many possibilities for him. He had to go see Kai again.
She might not know everything, but on the subject of his beast, she did seem to have a bit of knowledge. . As the thought crossed his mind, he felt Kagome press her hand against his side, her warmth spreading through his body. He had just obtained this, and whatever was happening… he didn't want to let it ruin everything.
Somehow, Sesshomaru had a feeling it was his beast screwing him over. Obviously there was no real hint of that, but then again it was why he'd go see Kai so she could confirm it. What else could make him bleed? His beast had taken enough from him and he refused to let it happen again.
And one thing was for certain; he wouldn't let it take away his life or Kagome.
Inside of him, he felt desperate. If Kagome was taken from him, he would not take it lightly. She couldn't be chased away, she couldn't be taken. Quickly he turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist. He had to deal with being half of himself, which was not easy, but now something wrong was happening to him and he didn't know how to stop it?
He was getting sick of it.
He had made mistakes, he wouldn't deny it, but couldn't he even catch a small break, or at least not have everything occurring at once?
His mind was made up once he picked up Kagome and pushed her against the nearest wall, holding her legs with both of his hands. This wasn't even about being sexual; he just wanted the comfort that she brought to him. He pressed his face half on her stomach, half on her breasts not even thinking about where it was.
Kagome seemed stunned for an instant, but then wrapped her arms around him. At first she had been a little shocked and almost scared, but now she understood. Sesshomaru wanted comfort? He didn't come to her for many things usually handling everything on his own. She knew he did it because he felt he inflicted enough upon her, but it was also nice to be needed.
Slowly she began rubbing his back, resting on her head on top of his. Tears came to her eyes and she couldn't explain why, but she held them back.
For the first time in a life time, Sesshomaru was experiencing a very intense emotion. He was afraid. The last time he had been this scared was when Kagome had been kidnapped and he hadn't known if he'd find her in time. This was not something he had wished to experience again, yet there he was feeling it.
He felt lost, and still did when his beast disappeared, but now the thing slipping through his finger was… his life? At least it was what it felt like.
When she was near, he didn't feel the emptiness, he felt whole. But when he was away, it was like death.
It wasn't until he had been far from her, that he had realized that.
She kept him in one piece.
He dared to look up while his face was still awkwardly positioned in her breasts. "I need you."
