*after retrieving Miroku from Ayame's, gets him settled on the couch*

*settles herself in the nearby armchair, still not knowing the full extent of his injuries, and not wanting to get to far away from him in case he needs something*

*picks up a book and just stares at it, mind churning too much to actually let her read*

*thinking* There's ( Read more... )

*comes over after her talk with Miroku*

Sister...? Um... are you okay? *holds out a Lily of the Valley* I got this for you. I hoped it might make you feel a lil' better.

OOC: meaning of the flower: Sweetness; Humility; Return of happiness

And if you want to wait to RP this until you two actually finish the thread, that's fine. ^_^

*weak little smile at hearing him call her "sister"*
*thickly* No... but I hope I will be soon.

*another tiny smile, touched* *accepts the flower* Thank you, little brother...

You will be. *nods* You're strong. *small smile*

You're welcome. Do you want me to put it in water or something for you?

*sees the note on the ground but doesn't say anything* Was he sorry, at least?

*just looks him, touched, hardly able to believe that he's really behaving this way* It runs in the family, little brother. *half smile*

*lifts herself out of the chair* I'll do it... I know where the vases are. *slightly bigger smile* But why don't you come help me anyway?

He says he is... and I believe him. That is... *shakes her head* Never mind.

It does? *small smile* Does that mean I'm strong somewhere deep inside?

*nods* I'd like to help.

Oh... *sheepish look* I guess I shouldn'ta asked. Sorry, sister.

*ruffles his hair* That's exactly what it means.

*heads into the kitchen and retrieves a vase from a cabinet* I think this one would work... *fills it up with water, and holds it out for Kohaku to put the flower in*

*shakes her head again* No, it's all right... this whole situation just has me so confused... *sighs* This is going to sound stupid, but it feels like he's lying to me about what happened. Given his past, you'd think I wouldn't have any trouble believing it, but... a large part of me doesn't believe he did cheat on me. *half smile* Pretty dumb, huh? I mean... who'd pretend they committed adultery if they didn't?

*pensive* But still... *shrugs* Something's not right. That I'm sure of.

*smiles when she ruffles his hair* That's good then, huh.

*puts the flower in* Sorry I could only get you one. I didn't have lots of monies and Kagura wouldn't let me have any.

I dunno. Maybe you're just trying to find something good because you married him. *bites his lips and looks away* Sorry... I don't mean it like that... I just kinda got used to pushing everyone away... *shuffles his feet*

I'm sure, whatever it was, he'll tell you. I mean, he's got to, right?

Oh, no, think nothing of it. *smiles, which fades into concern after a moment* Is Kagura still taking good care of you?

*winces a little, and looks away* Maybe I am... *snapped out of her own thoughts by his apology* It's all right, little brother... *weak smile*

I hope so... or at least tells me why he thinks he has to hide things from me. If his reason is a good one... *wryly* Though, unless someone's blackmailing him, too, I just can't think why he'd lie...

*frowns* Speaking of which... little brother... well, you've been around us a lot these past few days... we can protect you, of course - I just want to make sure you're feeling safer with us.

*shrugs**looks away* I guess. She doesn't, like, hit me or anything...

*small smile* You sure? 'cause I didn't mean to hurt you.

I dunno why someone would be.

*nods* I know. I do feel safer with you guys.

I shouldn't stay much longer. Kagura'll get mad if I stay too long. Can I go talk to the houshi before I go? He looked real bad last time I saw him and I just wanna make sure he's feelin' better too.

*winces* Kohaku... *rests a hand on his shoulder* You can always come home...

I'm sure. *returns the smile*

*sighs* I don't either... but there's just something wrong with this. I don't know what it is, but I can't shake that feeling.

*smiles* Good... and you are safe with us. We'll make sure of it.

*reluctantly* Well... he's sleeping right now, actually. *looks back at Kohaku, wondering if it would be wise to let him up there, even with his apparent change of heart*

I... I suppose you can take a peek in there. If he's asleep, though, just let him be, ok? He does need the rest.

*heads upstairs with him, and goes into her own bedroom to ready for bed - so she can't hear what's going on in there, but would be close by if any trouble arises*

*shakes his head* She says I can't and she won't let me.

I hope there is, sister. *smiles a little* I don't like seeing you hurt.

*nods* If he's asleep, I'll leave him be.

*heads upstairs, knocks lightly on his door*

...Hmm. *thinking* She won't, huh... we'll see about that.

*lying on his bed in the dark, staring at the ceiling**hears the knock and assumes it's Sango**looks over at the window, not wanting to continue their talk*

I'm awake...

*goes in and shuts the door behind him**snaps the light on* Hi, houshi. How're you feeling?

*goes over to him**drops his voice* You lost your letter by the couch. You know... there's only one of you... and two of us. You keep screwing with this and one of those women is going to vanish before you can stop it. *cold smile* And no one says they have to go to Kagura's basement. You know only she and I can get through Naraku's barrier. And I doubt he'd mind if the taijiya or the wolf girl was brought there to be killed. Get me, houshi?

Hello, Kohaku... I'm just fine...

I get you, I get you. I... didn't realize I'd dropped it... I'll show her, Kohaku. You don't... please, don't do that to one of them... I'm not trying to screw this up.

x_kohaku_x April 16 2005, 03:33:30 UTC
Why don't I believe you, houshi? She's not convinced that you cheated on her. She's trying to figure this out. She better see that note. And soon. Don't think Kagura and I don't have ways of watching you when I'm not around. *smirks* And remember, I'm good now. Either of them would be stupid enough to come with me. I could get either of them just as easily as I got you. Remember that.

*his innocent tone* Good. That's good. You just gotta not do that to her again. Bye, houshi. *smiles coldly* Sleep well.
