Mine, Only Mine by Selena

Chapter 27: Pastry for You

AN:

To avoid confusion:

I.Kagome had bruises in the first few chapters because her village was attacked. Kagome’s mother is already dead even before the start of the story. SHE IS 13 YRS. OLD when the story started but was only 11 YRS. OLD when her mom died so that was 2 YRS. BEFORE THE STORY STARTED.

2 ATTACKS THAT TOOK PLACE:

1.      Kagome was 11, she was living somewhere else (not stated where) with her mother. Her mom died.

2.     Kagome was 13, she was living in the village near the western lands.

II. In chapter 5, you asked why Kagome is doomed. Well, that is not really answered yet. The only reasons I gave away as of now are:

1. She is homeless.

2. She is just 13 and has to bear so much.

3. Humans turned their backs to her seeing her as a curse. She is believed to be a daughter of the evil that is somehow true. After all, she is a forbidden child, born out of the union of the divine and the damned (not explained much yet) so now, she has no choice but to try to live with the demons.

She is doomed because of all the misfortunes that have befallen her.

III.  Sesshomaru did not kill Kagome's mother. (refer to chapter 9) Her mother asked him to save her daughter after saving him from a dark miko who tried to purify him. She disappeared before he could take her.

Okay?

Kagome is breathless because of running when she entered the palace. Her black curls wild and messy, so is her scarlet gown. Her lovely face smeared by dirt and sweat. Her bare feet muddy. Even in this state, she is still very foudroyant.

“Lady Kagome!” Jaken screeched upon seeing the young lady. “Where have you been? The whole palace was looking for you! And—“ blah, blah. Jaken has a habit of ranting.

Kagome shook her head, turned around, and walked away, leaving a trail of muddy footprints behind her.

/---***---/

Sesshomaru is furious. Kagome is always so stubborn! She is doing her best to defy him at her every turn. His long strides along the dark corridors of his palace led him quickly to Kagome’s chamber.

She’s here. His nose could tell and the muddy footprints in the front of her room is a dead give-a-away.

He entered her room and upon seeing Kagome’s filthy state, his anger doubled.

However, when she looks up from macerating bread in a coffee, his anger vanished, especially when she graced his sensitive ears with her laughter.

“Sesshomaru!” she laughs. “I can’t believe you orderaed everyone to look for me. Are you thinking that I left again? Such paranoia!” She rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

Instead of reprimanding her like, he planned to do, he found himself taking out a small box of pastries made of cinnamon he knows she likes.

“Happy fifteenth birthday,” he says as coldly as he can master.
