Following his Path

Disclaimer – I do not own Rumiko Takahashi's characters. But I do own this story.

A/N – It's snowing a lot right now, and well, it inspired me to do a one shot, because I cannot update my stories for I cannot open up any files. So, 'why not', I thought, 'start another one?' This is a one shot Sesshomaru/Kagome fic. And if you do not like, don't read – Simple as that. No flames please, unless you really have too. I'll delete them anyways )

Following his path

White drops drifted gracefully down, covering the earth in a blanket of snow. She slowly followed the already imprinted white powder. It leads her through the trees that Winter's tears had covered.

Soon, the constant snowfall began to hide the footprints. Regardless, she continued the same pace, wonderment adorning her face. She assumed the path would be a straight line, anyway.

Still, the white substance continued to fall. She took time to gaze around at her surroundings. Beautiful. Everything was so beautiful. The cold powder covered everything around her, leaving no leaf untouched.

Onwards she walked, dainty feet making small prints while still following much larger foot steps. Her eyes followed the down drift of the snow, watching as the tiny specks fell in slow motion.

A small smile splayed across her lips. She knew he was leading her to him, or else he wouldn't have been so careless, as to allowing her to find his prints.

The snow continued to fall, blanketing everything in its white beauty. Everything was so peaceful. Not a sound but the howling of the wind and the drift of the snow could be heard.

Finally, the trees opened up. The snow now fell less heavily upon her. There, in the middle of the snow covered clearing stood him, the object of her obsession, the one whom she followed.

"Sesshomaru..." The whispered name rolled off her lips, carried off by the howling wind. She was frozen in place; his piercing gaze stared steadfastly at her.

He knew she was coming. He was waiting for her. The dreams he had had, there was a deep connection with her. It was proved so when they met secretly with one another, countless times. This time was no different. Their first shared kiss sparked a hunger for them both. Never having enough of the other, they continue to meet in secret.

He slowly looked her over. She looked more than pleasing to his eyes, dressed in a royal blue kimono that matched her eyes and covered in an outer soft blue kimono. He grinned to himself; her feet must be freezing. His gold colored eyes wandered up, lingering in a few choice areas. He smiled when his eyes met her silk blue scarf that he had gifted to her. Silken raven locks ran smoothly down her back while flushed cheeks and red lips adorned her face, flushed from the cold, chill air.

The TaiYoukai of the West softened his usually stoic face and smiled with warm eyes. His smile was for no one else but her, and she was pleased when she found this to be true.

Sesshomaru stalked slowly across the clearing towards her. He wore his usual silk white kimono with the red hexagon patterns and his fluffy pelt while his beautiful silver hair gracefully fell down his back. He wore no armor this time, or any other time when meeting her.

Standing before her, he caressed her soft, flushed, face with a clawed hand. She mimicked his actions, bringing a dainty hand towards his face, caressing his magenta stripes that tell of his royal birth.

"Kagome..." The TaiYoukai whispered. She leaned in towards his caress, loving the way he touched her. "Are you cold?" She was shivering a bit under his hand, despite the warmth he gave off.

"Iie," She replied back, not wanted to leave his caress.

"Ba-ka," Sesshomaru chastised. He removed his hand from her warm, pink cheeks and pulled her body towards his own, Kagome eeped in surprise. Their hearts beat as one, together and in tune with one another.

Snow continued to drift lightly around the pair. Golden orbs looked down into blue lights, gazing lovingly back.

Slowly, the silver curtain of hair fell over raven black locks. Sesshomaru's warm breath caressed Kagome's own. "Ashiteru, my Kagome," Sesshomaru whispered huskily as he bent down, removing the little distance between them, capturing her warm, red lips with his own in a heated kiss. The TaiYoukai knew every inch inside her mouth. His tongue explored known areas while his fangs nicked a little here and there. Kagome gasped and panted from excitement. She squealed in delight and giggled into his warm mouth.

Quite a few moments later, they parted, Kagome gasping for breath. She regained her composure immediately and smiled sweetly up at him. "Ashiteru, Sesshomaru, Koi," and Kagome raised herself on tippy-toes, clearing the little distance they made between themselves and raised her warm lips to his own, their lips one again moving in a dance only they know of while the snow continued to dance around the Taiyoukai and Miko from a distant land.
