Flight

Touga found Kagome in a clearing just outside the palace walls. It broke his heart hearing her wails of sorrow. He knew she had not asked for any of this and she should not have to suffer for it. He also knew that she would have a hard life either way. Everyone knew that Sesshomaru was not fond of humans and he also knew that if she failed and returned to her father he would make her suffer for failing. Touga had found her nearly an hour ago but he gave her some time he knew she needed to be alone for a while.

Thinking she had enough time he stepped from the tree line. “Come now little one let us return to the palace. Kikyo and your pups are worried for you and night is falling.”

Kagome turned to him eyes red and puffy and tears still streaming down her face. “I can’t Touga I have failed my kingdom. How can I face anyone knowing that? It was up to me I am the only one that can break the curse and I failed. He took one look at me and walked away. What is wrong with me? What did I ever do to deserve this?”

Touga sighed and walked over to her. He took a seat and lifted her into his lap like he use to when he visited and she was much younger.

He released a growl meet to sooth and then spoke, “There is nothing wrong with you little one and you have done nothing wrong. There is always a reason things happen. I do not know the reason for this but there must be one.”

Before Kagome could say another word something descended from its flight into the clearing. Kagome watched with wide eyes as Sesshomaru approached them. With a nod Touga sat Kagome down giving her a reassuring nod then turned back to Sesshomaru.

So low Kagome could not hear Touga spoke, “Do not hurt her my son?”

Sesshomaru glared at his father but gave a nod in understanding and watched as Touga left the clearing. He turned his attention back to Kagome who had already looked back out onto the lake.
