“I-I had a dream…”
Sesshomaru didn’t like it, when a confession started with those four words. Over the centuries he had shrived so many people and he felt relieved every time he was able to set them on the righteous path again. The confession was the first step, if one wanted to repent. However, people often mistook the confession of important matters with idle confabulations about mundane things. The memory of an old woman surfaced who had wanted to confess about how she had accidently stepped on her favourite cat, when he had been a priest in Nuremberg. And yet, considering the waves of distress that Kagome Smith emitted ever since she had knocked on his door, he had a bad feeling about this.
“A few days ago, when the thunderstorm took place, I had a dream… About a kiss,” she whispered.
“I assume, you did not dream about your husband, then,” he replied coolly.
Her answer drowned in her sobs.
“In your dream, whom did you kiss?”
Her fingers played with the lattice, she opened her mouth several times, but he could not hear her say anything. He perked up his ears, surprised that his demon senses obviously failed him.
“I don’t know… All I remember are……. Golden eyes,” she breathed.
Sesshomaru stared at the young woman, but no matter how hard he stared, her statement didn’t come undone. He wasn’t able to detect a lie, only confusion. He leaned back against the cold wooden wall.
“Humans don’t have golden eyes,” he declared.
“You are right, Father.”
The priest told her what to do to repent and to go back home. As he was watching her, Sesshomaru had the urge to slap himself. It was just a dream, it meant nothing.
If only the bad feeling would fade away.
