BLEH...change of scene

Chapter 1: Oak Tree

Sesshomaru tuned out the stupid human teacher, there was nothing that he could or would teach that he didn't already know. The only reason Sesshomaru came to this torture humans call 'school' was for her. Kagome Higurashi, the raven-haired beauty of the school.

She was about 5 inches shorter than me with pure warm blue eyes. She had the figure of an angel, and her scent was heavenly. Sakura blossoms and Rain. She was my brothers' girlfriend, which irk Sesshomaru to no end. 'My baka half-brother doesn't deserve someone like Kagome no one does.' I thought wistfully.

Yes it was true the great Taiyoukai Sesshomaru; Land of the Western Lands had fallen for a human. But humans didn't fear youkai anymore, in fact the thought of then as myths. But Kagome didn't no, she knew better. For she knew that I and my half-brother, Inuyasha, were youkais. How? Inuyasha had invited her over for some stupid project, and had let his hat slip and she saw his ears.

But amazingly she didn't scream or panic or anything, simply asked a bunch of questions, and promised not to tell. Inuyasha and Kagome became fast friends and eventually I was thrown into the loop. So I am Kagome's best friend and Inuyasha is her boyfriend.

This is the one time I wish I could trade places with that Hanyou. But Kagome is happy and that is all that matters. For now I will simply watch and be there when she needs me. I eventually moved out and I now live in an apartment closer to Kagome's house and the high school.

"Sesshomaru-kun?" asked a sweet voice that could only belong to Kagome. I looked at her and nodded to show I was listening. "I was-"but she was cut off by that damn bell. We waited till it stopped; when it did she walked away only to come back with her things. "Sesshomaru-kun?" she asked again. Lifting my bag I nodded, once again.

"After school or during lunch if you have time could I speak with you alone?" she asked, but she sounded almost, scared? I stopped walking to look at her, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. Something was wrong, and I don't like it. "Meet me at the Oak tree with the Bench during lunch." It was a command not a request.

She looked at me and smiled "Hai, till then Sesshomaru-kun." She said as she walked off. Trying to think of what would have her so upset; I walked to my next class.

The day drew on, slowly; it seemed that the more I thought about Kagome waiting at the Oak tree, the slower time past. Some day, I swore, I would find father time and rip off his old and wrinkled head. But for now, I waited. Being a youkai of centuries, had its perks. One? You learn patience, lots of patience. The bell finally rang, much to my grand pleasure.

At the Oak Tree

When I arrived there, I found Kagome already sitting on the bench. I walked over and sat down. "Talk" was all I said, but I meant, "Tell me what's wrong now." Kagome had long ago figured out my speech. That I talked as less as possible and that one word could have several different meanings.

She stared out at nothing thinking before she said anything. When she finally did speak it surprised me. "Ano, Sesshomaru-kun...Do you mind hanging out with me? I mean, am I a bother to you?" I was in total shock but you couldn't tell by my face.

'Someone said something to her.' I realized, someone had said that I didn't like hanging out with her and yet, that didn't seem like that was all. She is hiding something from me, and I don't like it. I reached over and grasp her chin to make her look at me. "Kagome, if I didn't like hanging out with you, I would have told you long ago. Do you understand? Now, where did you get that idea?" I asked, letting go of her chin.

That was a mistake, because as so as I did she looked away. "No where, I.........uh..." she mumbled. "Kagome". Now I knew something was wrong, but what? I can't help if she can't tell me, and obviously she can't. She stood turning to me but not really making eye contact, she said "No where, Sesshomaru-kun I was just making sure I wasn't bothering you." Smiling sweetly she grabbed her stuff and turned to leave.

But I grabbed her sleeve "Kagome, that's not it is it? Your not telling me something aren't you?" I asked, but knew I shouldn't have as soon as I smelled the salt of her tears. 'Crying? Kagome is crying?' "Kagome..." I whispered as I pulled her back down to sit next to me.

She sniffs, "Its nothing Sesshomaru, nothing you need to worry about, sorry to bother you," she said trying to get up. 'Obviously it is' I thought warily. But I merely tightened my grip, until I heard her sigh, knowing she had given up on escape.

"Kagome you don't bother me, now tell me what is wrong or we will sit here all day." I commanded. She sighed again, "Fine I'll tell you." I could smell her tears now she was really crying. "I was...looking .......for Inuyasha in the park, yesterday. We were supposed to meet there then go to the movies," she paused.

'So it's about my half-brother. Should have known.' I thought dryly as she began again. "I was looking around for him, when, when I heard his voice, only he was talking to someone. I didn't think anything about it so I followed it, now I wish I hadn't. There he stood with Kikyo in his arms, holding close to him. He was saying 'I love you Kikyo; Kagome means nothing to me. She is just your copy of a cousin.' Then they k-kissed." She finished and started to sob.

I pulled her into my lap, as I thought of different ways to kill my baka-half-brother. I steadily rocked her, not really knowing what to say.

We must have sat like that for and hour of two, because school was letting out. "Kagome, have you said anything to Inuyasha yet?" questioned, even though I knew she hadn't. As I predicted she mumble a 'no' through my shirt.

Sighing, I said, "Kagome," I started but she interrupted me. "I know, Inuyasha was cheating on me I know. But what am I suppose to do? Inuyasha and I, Have been going out for a long time how am I suppose to break-up with him?" She wasn't saying she couldn't, just that she didn't know how. "Call him on the phone and brake up that way. So he can't embarrass you in front of anybody." I suggested.

'Damn him, when I get a hold of that Hanyou-' I swore in my mind but was interrupted by "Sesshomaru-kun? Thank you for your help, and for listening to me, but uh, can you let me up?" she asked sweetly, it was then I realized I had been holding her this whole time. I simply nodded, and released her reluctantly.

While we gathered our things I asked her; "Kagome didn't you say your mother was out of town?" I knew how much she hated being by her self and since she was going to break-up with him; I wanted to know what she would do. "Great, I totally forgot about that. Now what am I going to do?" Indeed she was predictable; she had been so upset she forgot. 'Now what am I going to do?' her question rang true, now what was she going to do?'

She could ask us!

And who are you?

I'm you, and you know you want her to ask us!

Get out of my head, and never come back!

I'll leave for now, but I'll be back.

With that the annoying voice left. 'Great, now I'm talking to myself.' "Ano....uh.... Sesshomaru-kun are you busy this weekend?" she yet again interrupted my thinking. "No, why?" I found my self saying. "Uh, would you mind spending the weekend with me? I understand if you don't want to I-"but I didn't let her finish, "I wouldn't mind."

She jumped up and hugged me, and before I could stop her. "Uh...umm gomen Sesshomaru Well lets go!" she said stepping away from me. So we walked to my car and got in, because she usually walked to school. I pulled out of the school parking lot and headed toward my house to get some clothes.

We pulled into Kagome's driveway, she unlocked the front door and lead me in. "Okay Sesshomaru, you can put your stuff in the guest bedroom. Its right beside mine, you still remember where that is right?" she giggled. I simply nodded, I traced my steps out of the foyer, past the open living room, into another hallway.

This had pale white walls with brown carpet and dozens of family photos. Shaking my head at the "homey" feeling I always got here, I went up the stairs, and down the hall to the very end on the right was Kagome's room on the left I assumed was the guess bedroom. Opening up the room I saw it was done in deep reds and Burgundies. I set my bag sown and walked out; I would have plenty of time later to look around the room.

Heading back down stairs I heard noise coming from the kitchen walking in I noticed Kagome look to be fixing something. "Oh, hey Sesshomaru I hope your hungry." She said not even bothering to turn around. "You like pasta right?" she asked as she got something out of the pantry. I nodded, "Do you need help?" why in the world did I ask that?

Kagome just giggled, "Why Sesshomaru-kun I didn't know you could cook or were you just being nice?" I looked at her, "Gomen Sesshomaru, I didn't mean to insult you, I was-"but I held up my hand to silence her "You didn't insult me." I said as I heard her sigh in relief. "Well, dinner will be ready in a few, so why don't you just go into the living room and wait?" she suggested.

I nodded and headed toward the living room. It had two chairs, both pale yellow with sewn in designs, the couch was white with dark wood frames and legs. The coffee table was equally dark wood and a rectangle with curved edges. There was no design to it, which balanced out the other design covered items in the room.

Sinking down into the white couch I sat back, snatching the remote off the table, I rested my arm on the back of the couch my other still holding the remote. Flipping through the channels not paying that much mind I thought back to what I told her to do. 'Will she call Inuyasha while I'm here?' As if on cue the phone rang.

My ears twitched at the sound, turning the TV of and setting the remote back on the table I raised to my feet. I knew the phone was in the kitchen so I walked back there. Walking in, I saw Kagome talking on the phone. "No its ok, no you don't need to come over. Yes, someone else is, Inuyasha, no-"So it was Inuyasha she was talking to. 'I wander what she is going to say' I thought, as I sensed her nervousness.

I growled she has to get over this and tell him. Apparently she heard me growl because she instantly looked at me. She mouthed 'what's wrong'. I merely looked at her. She looked at me for a moment before nodding. "Inuyasha, there's something I want to tell you." She whispered into the phone. I sighed, this was going to lead to tears. Walking over to her, I put a hand on her shoulder.

She smiled back at me, showing she appreciated it. "Well?" I heard Inuyasha's annoyed voice over the phone. I wanted to growl, but knew Inuyasha would hear it. I felt Kagome tense, so I squeezed her shoulder a little harder. She relaxed, some before whispering, "Inuyasha, I want, I want to brake up." I gave a slight smile she had done it.

The other end of the phone was silent, but not for long. "YOU WHAT?!?!" he roar over the other end, so loud Kagome had to hold the phone away from her ear. "I said I want to brake up Inuyasha." She said with a little more courage this time. "Kagome, you witch-"he started to swear "Good Bye Inuyasha." She said before he could finish and hung up the phone.

I growled at what my brother called her, making her jump. "Sesshomaru uh wasn't that uh...why are you growling? Are you mad at me?" I looked at her shocked, though it didn't show on my face. 'She thinks I'm mad at her?' I thought, as I shook my head no. She smiled, a single tear falling down her face.

I reached up and wiped it away without even thinking about it. "Ok, good, so you hungry because dinners ready!" she said happily, though most of it was fake. I knew that but said nothing, she hadn't cried so it showed she was strong.

I walked over to the table since it was already set. There was nothing special about the table it was, just a plain light wood table with four legs and six chairs. So we ate dinner, which was surprisingly good. Afterward, I helped her clean up, though she waved me off at first.

I still washed while she dried them and put them away. Soon we made our way back to the living room. We had been just flipping not really watching anything for a while now. I was starting to get bored, when Kagome spoke up. "Hey Sesshomaru-kun? Did we have any homework? I mean we were out of school, sitting under that oak tree almost the day. So I don't know if we had any." I thought for a moment.

At the beginning of the year I had the teachers give my all the assignments. That way I would be able to get them over and done with, and be able to spend more time with Kagome. Though of course that's not the reason I gave the teachers. After a moment or two of silence I remembered. "No, we didn't have any, unless you didn't finish your poems." I stated, waiting to see her reaction.

Kagome thought, 'she looks cute that way' I thought as I stared at her. "Ya! No Homework, I finished my poem last night." She exclaimed I smiled, Kagome was one to do stuff as soon as possible to get it over and done with. I saw her glance at the clock; my eyes to traveled that way. They also widened when I saw the time. It was 11:00, had we really stayed up that late? Kagome stood and yawned. "Well its late time to go to bed, you can take a bath or shower now or in the morning if you want to Sesshomaru-kun." She stated as she held out her hand to help me up. I took it though I barley used her strength.

As we headed up the stairs we stopped in front of our rooms. "Night" was all I said. She nodded; I don't think she expected more. "Well I'll see ya in the morning the Sesshomaru-kun. Good night." She said as she opened the door. "Until morning." I whispered as I too stepped inside my room. She smiled and that was all I saw, as we closed our doors.

I walked over to my bag and picked it up. Opening it, to pull out my toothbrush and other toiletries, along with sleep wear. This consisted off thin cotton pants, nothing more. Walking to the attached bathroom, I quickly brushed my teeth and took of my school clothes, and pulled on the pants. Gathering up my dirty clothes I folded them neatly on the chair that sat in the corner. It was then I took survey of the room.

The walls were a deep burgundy; the floor was dark, cold hard wood floors. It was a rectangular room large for a guestroom anyways. The bed was in the northern right hand corner of the room, from where I stood, the bathroom door, was behind me. To my right was what I assumed to be a closet. To my left was a writing desk with a window. The curtains were a deep red with smaller designs in the fabric. All the wood into the room was a dark oak, form what I could tell. The bed was a four post, queen, with a dark red quits, a brown throw blanket, and assorted shades of red throw pillows.

The night stand was also a brown with a black lamp on it. Next to it was an alarm clock. I walked to the bed and stacked the pillows neatly on the floor. Pulling back the sheets to find, black silk sheets with black pillows. I almost smiled; I would have to ask Kagome who decorated the room.

I probably laid there, for a few hours not quit sleep, but not awake either. As I listened to the sound over the house, I heard Kagome's steady breathing. She had long since fallen asleep; her breathing some what soothed me. I wandered why? When did I start falling for her? She was a human after all, but that didn't seem to both me that much. She didn't smell like the other humans, or any demon I have ever come across either. She didn't even seem to be human; her senses were of a lot higher level than most demons.

She couldn't possible be human, not with how caring, and sweet and innocence she was. There are certain things about her that I don't even know about her. I don't really know that much about who she is. Her likes and dislikes aren't exactly a mystery, but her past is.

I remember her saying she had father still alive, but I have never met him. Come to think about it Inuyasha has never mentioned him either. I would think after all the times he has been here he would have met him at least once. Or not, Kagome never said that her parents were still married. I finally fell asleep, but my dreams didn't give me any peace.

Sesshomaru Dream

I was walking around in a think wood; I noticed that I was in my youkai form. Then I heard a blood-curling scream. It sounded like Kagome's I rushed forward, using my youkai speed. When I reached a clearing my stomach clenched, there stood Kagome four slashes down her back. I ran toward her, but no matter how fast I ran I never got any closer. Then she turned to my, her face hidden by her hair. Until she looked up at me and smiled, "Sesshomaru?" she said, she took a step forward her hand out stretched. Then her eyes went wide, her eyes and mine traveled to her stomach.

There a blood red hand, her blood, was sticking out. She looked at me tears pouring down her face. "Why Sesshomaru? Why wouldn't you help me? Why do you just stand there?" she asked, I tried to speak but found I was frozen. I could do nothing as I watched her lifeless body fall to the ground, dead. Her hollow eyes stared up at me, tears lining them, I looked for the person that killed her but found no one. I tried to move, but still could not I couldn't even look away. Her lips moved, "Sessh.... omaru? You are...going to let me die?" she asked using her last breath. I wanted to deny it, but I couldn't just look on as she past on.

End Dream

I shot up in the guest bed, sweat pouring down my face. 'What was that?' I thought as I got up. I looked at the clock; it was 7:50 am. I heard someone down in the kitchen, using my senses I found it was Kagome. I smiled she was probably cooking breakfast. I grabbed a maroon color muscle shirt and a pair of baggy blue jeans, and other shower items. I walked to the bathroom.

I came back out the bathroom, about 20 minutes later. Walking down stairs I pulled my hair down in a low ponytail. I headed toward the kitchen. Kagome was wearing a pair of tight dark jeans with a baby blue top, which was equally tight. "Ohayo, Sesshomaru. Did you have a good nights rest?" sweet voice rang through my ears. I simply nodded; I wasn't about to tell her about my dream.

She smiled, "Breakfast is almost ready." She said and place to plates on the kitchen table. She fixed them placing a cup of coffee by what I guess to be mine, and tea by hers. She sat down and motioned for me to do the same. I did and we ate, the food was wonderful again, she was a great cook. After eating we cleaned the kitchen, the phone rang.

Putting down her dishcloth Kagome walked over to it, picking up the portable she answered. "Ohayo. How may I help you?" her angelic voice asked as she smiled. I was thinking about how beautiful she looked until she frowned. "No, I'm sorry Inuyasha...-"she started but was cut off by ranting from I could only guess was Inuyasha. "Look...Inuyasha...NO!!!!!!" she finally yelled, I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

Kagome had just lost her temper now that was a sight to see.

Kagome was starting to cry, not a good thing. Slowly I stood and walked over to her, thinking for a moment then hesitating before I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her. She stiffened for a minute before she relaxed, leaning her head on my shoulder I could now clearly hear Inuyasha. "Kagome what's gotten in to you? Why are you dumping me? You can't dump me-"Inuyasha ranted on and on until. "Shut-up." Kagome commanded, her voice hard as steel. I could almost see Inuyasha's face.

It would be as if someone had slapped him and called him Sesshomaru. "Good bye Inuyasha." Kagome said with the same steel ness as before, pulled out of my hold and then hung up the phone. I could still smell salt as she just stood there. She turned to me tears shining and pooling at her eyes, she was fighting to keep them from falling. I hugged her to my chest, getting a small 'eep!' from her.

An uncontrollable growl came from the back of my throat, trying to soothe her. She relaxed in my hold, her hands clenching my shirt in a tight hold. My arms held tight t to her small waist. While we stood there, rested my head on top of hers, breathing in her wonderful scent. Her scent was like no other I had ever smelled, pure and innocent, warm and comforting. Everything about her was pure; she was the most beautiful onna I had ever come across.

I wanted to stay with her forever, but knew that, that wasn't possible. One, she still held feelings for Inuyasha and second, she didn't feel about me like that she loved me as a brother if anything. We must have stood there for a while, just holding each other. I wasn't going to complain, when I felt her shift, 'No, please don't pull away.' I begged in my mind, a small soft whimper emitting from my throat. Later I would ponder on the fact that I, The great Sesshomaru, had just begged, though mentally, for the onna not to move, and then whimpered like a lost puppy.

Kagome pulled away, and looked at the floor, I prayed that she didn't hear the whimper; it was low enough that she shouldn't have. "Sesshomaru-kun? Are you okay? Did you just whimper?" she asked, looking at me with concern written all over her face.

Alas, she had abnormal hearing and a sense of smell; sometimes I believed she had some youkai in her. I said nothing; she had completely pulled away from me. I started to walk out the kitchen but was stopped by a pair of arms wrapping them selves around my waist.

"What-" I stared. "Please Sesshomaru...There is something you are hiding from me...What is it? Please tell me." She begged; tightening her grip on my waist. I froze my heart started beating rapidly. 'Did she know? But how?' my thoughts started to run together and on the inside I was starting to get worried.

Mentally, again, I pushed back the urge to pursue that worrying feeling, to smash it into a million pieces, for this Sesshomaru doesn't worry. But on the outside I looked normal, maybe uncomfortable but, normal nonetheless. "Sesshomaru?" her voice whispered through out my head, echoing like a song. "Nothing." I mumbled and started to pie her arms off my waist, though reluctant to do so.

Her grip tightened, surprisingly so, "I'm not letting go 'till you tell me Sesshomaru." She said that iron voice back. That irked me some, I couldn't tell her, but I had found that I couldn't necessarily lie to her either. If I told her, it would be a mess. We would be uncomfortable around each other. Our friendship would crumble, and I wasn't going to let that happen. There was no doubt in my mind that she would never love me as more than a friend. What was I going to do?

"Kagome, I......."I couldn't even find words to tell her, it was a perfect chance to tell her how I felt, I would be dammed if I had ever found out that she liked me and I gave up this chance. But there was always that chance that she didn't. Sighing I turned to face her, her blue eyes staring back at me, and for once I couldn't see into her soul. She had completely shielded her soul for my answer. She looked at me with a small sad smile on her face. Reaching up with her hand she cupped my cheek. "Sesshomaru, onegai. Tell me." She said her thumbs moving across both of my cheeks were my demonic marking should have been. I looked into her eyes.

Hello! Tell her!

Not you again. I thought I told you to go away.

You did but I told you I would be back! Now tell her

No now go away!

No just tell her, you know she won't hold it against you. If she doesn't like you back!

Great, first I was arguing with myself and now my 'other half' was making sense. I returned to my normal self and sighed again. "Kagome... I'm just stressed." I stumbled across the words, inwardly growling at my coward ness. Kagome removed her hands and raised one delicate eyebrow. "About what Sesshomaru-kun?" she asked, sounding less worried and just interested. "I'm in love with someone and I don't think she loves me back." I said it wasn't what I really wanted to say but this was a close as I was going to get.

Kagome lowered her head her bangs covering her eyes. "Who? Who is it your in love with?" she asked, her voice kind of shaky. Now I was confused, what was going on? I placed my hand on her chin and pulled it up so that she was looking me in the eye. Her brilliant blue eyes clouded with...Sadness? Slowly and unnoticeably to her, or me, our faces got closer. When our faces were mere inches apart I whispered,

"You."

Then gently brushed my lips against hers. 'Her lips are so soft.' I thought as I pulled away. I felt something wrapping around my neck, opening my eyes I noticed her blushing red face as she pulled me back.

Leaning up she whispered in my ear. "Me too." And then gently kissed me. I was surprised to say the least. 'She loved me? But what about Inu-baka?' I thought as she pulled away for air. "Kagome..." I breathed; I didn't even recognize my own voice.

Kagome smiled, and pulled us out of the kitchen. She still held my wrist as she pulled me along. Though if I had wanted to stop her I could have. She pulled me into the living room and we sat on the couch. She released my wrist and sighed. "Ask. I know there are some things on your mind. So go ahead and ask." She said, looking at her fireplace.

I stared at her turned head, now I really thought she was a psychic. "Kagome...what about Inu-Yasha? How can you love me and still love him?" I asked, but Kagome continued to glaze at the fire. So I to watched the fire, as it turned and unusual black and blue. I immediately, became alert, spreading my senses to see if there was any youkai around. I picked one up, but it was coming from Kagome?

Kagome was still in the same position her glaze still lock with the fires. But that's when I realized it was Kagome who was changing the fires' colors. Kagome continued to stare and I noticed that she too was changing.

I watched as her hair got longer along with a few silver streaks, ear pointed and clawed hands. A black tail with silver tips also appeared. Her outfit changed as well, now instead of a baby blue top it was a silver top with armor that wrapped around her torso and arms.

And her dark jeans replaced by lose black pants, which tied at the bottom. She blinked and stood; it was then that I noticed she had two swords at her side. I smirked, for I too carried two swords. She turned to face me, and my mouth slackened. On her forehead was a backward crescent moon, facing the opposite direct of mine, but instead of royal blue it was black.

It was the same symbol the Lords and Ladies of the East had. On each cheek there was a silver streak, and I imagined that if I looked at her wrist, ankles, and hips they would have markings too. My eyes looked back at her face surprised to see that her eyes hadn't changed; except for they now had slits instead of human pupils. She smiled and one of her fangs hung over her bottom lip.

I smiled back and allowed my true form to come out. Soon I stood my black hair slightly longer and now silver, my once violet eyes now molten gold, my baggy jeans and muscle shirt turn into a pair of white, hakama, and haori, with red flower designs. Around my waist was a yellow sash with blue tips, on my chest was a plate of arm my tail laid loosely around my shoulder, as my swords rested at my hip.

Kagome walked toward me. Her stunning ice orbs locked with my molten gold ones. "Sesshomaru...?" she whispered, carefully lifting a clawed hand to my face. I let her trace my markings, with holding a contented growl.

I didn't want to scare her.

She took a step back and smiled. "So I guess I have some explaining to do, ne?" she said, plopping back down on the couch, her tail hanging over the back of it. I sat down a little more graceful, my tail entwining with hers. I nodded. She sighed. "I didn't find out until, well about a week or so two years ago. Obviously my mom and dad are Inu-Youkai. Both my parents hide their appearance just like you do. With a spell my mother hid mine too, and from me, she hid everything right down to my ki." She said, looking at the fire once more as it started to glow black.

"And the fire? Why is it glowing? And why did you choose to night to transform?" I asked, not being able to help myself. She laughed lightly and sound like lullaby on a breeze. "The fire glows when I transform because it is reacting to my Ki release. I didn't choose tonight my mother did. It seems the spell wore off, now I will be able to change between my two forms with as much freedom as you." She said, turning her ice blue gaze back to me.

I smirked. Leaning over I closed the distance between us. Her eyes widened slightly but returned to normal, well at least normal for her. I gently rubbed my lips against hers, as I wrapped my arms around her waist. But stopped, our armor was getting in the way; she pulled away from me and giggled. "Here." She whispered, and started untying my armor; I smirked and started on hers.

Moments later we had the armor off; Kagome leaned down and set it on the floor. I took this chance and slipped behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist yet again and pulling her back to my chest. A small 'eep' came from her lips and she turned to me. Growling playfully she licked my cheek. I smiled and nibbled her ear, she gasped. I grinned and butterfly kissed my way down to her taunting dark red lips, claiming them yet again.

She moaned as she shifted in my lap turning so that she straddling my hips. Her hands rested on my shoulders as she settled her self. Not knowing that with each movement she aroused me further. I growled. "Stop wiggling onna." She immediately stopped and stared at me. "Gomen Sesshom-"she started to apologize but I silenced her pressing my lips against hers, taking advantage of her parted lips I plunged my tongue inside her mouth, ravishing in her taste. I ran my tongue over hers trying to get her to join me.

Kagome moaned quietly before lightly rubbing her tongue against mine. I groaned, as my tail wrapped around her waist. Kagome pulled away, and I growled. "Oh hush." She scolded playfully I merely raised an eyebrow. To my amusement she raised one back. She smiled and nuzzled my neck gently yawning softly. I quickly rapped my arms around her waist top steady her. "Sessho...I'm a little sleepy..." she whispered before she fainted.

I sighed, standing I held her in my arms; stepping over our armor I carried her bridal style up the stairs. She mumbled in her sleep, and snuggled closer to me. I smirked; she was such a trusting girl. But I think that's what I liked about her. Walking to her door I opened it, my eyes widen slightly. Her walls were painted navy blue and the ceiling had a crescent moon and stars on it.

Her bed and furniture was all black, and she had a window sit. The floor was like mine, dark hard wood floors. All of the furniture was black or navy blue. Her bed had a dark navy blue and black comforter with dark denim pillows.

Walking over to her bed I laid her down on top of it. As I started to pull away, I realized that she had a death grip on my shirt. Sighing I tried to pry her claws off of my shirt. I really didn't want to rip it, I liked it thank you. Sighing again, I crawled into the bed with her.

She smiled and snuggled closer to me; I smiled silently and wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around her shoulders. Our tails twisting into one that blanketed us both. She gripped my shirt and nuzzled my chest. I rested my head on hers, letting sleep over come me.

I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes. Blinking I let my eyes adjust, to the light.

I heard so moaning and looked to my side. There lay Kagome, still in her youkai form. Suddenly everything form last night came back to me in full force. Looking down I noticed the position we were in, and smirked. Kagome was going to die of embarrassment.

Our tails and legs were an entwined mess. My arm was still wrapped possessively around her waist as the other was still around her shoulder. Her head rested on my arm, her face buried in my chest. I smiled her black hair framed her face, with a silver streak flashing from the sun. She tail twitched slightly, and her breath quickened showing that she was wakening.

I sighed and closed my eyes, faking that I was still asleep. I heard her blink and felt her try to sit up. I unconsciously tightened my arms around her. "Huh?" I heard her breath and felt her eyes boring down on me. I inwardly smirked; and tighten my grip on her again, causing a small 'eek!' to come from the onna beside me.

Kagome's head was now under my chin and her chest was flat against mine. "Sesshomaru. Wake up." She whispered in my ear, her breath caressing my neck. I shivered and opened my eyes. My molten gold ones met with her ice blue ones. Smiling she sat up, and pulled me with her. I re arranged my arms around her waist and pulled her into my lap, nuzzling her hair. Kagome sighed and shifted her weight. Looking at the clock her placed her hands on mine. "Come on Sesshomaru-kun. Get up it's almost 11: 00." She said and made to stand.

I pulled her back and breathed in her scent, Sakura Blossoms and Rain.

I sighed and released her, as she stood and stretched. She reverted back to her human form and sighed. I also changed back to my human form. Black hair replacing silver, human nails replacing claws, though I still had my fangs my clothes changed as well. Now I wore that outfit from yesterday.

She wore her outfit as well I smirked. Walking up behind Kagome I wrapped my arms around her pulling her until she was flat against me. "Kagome..." I whispered breathlessly in her ear. She stiffened then relaxed against me. "Kagome...you are mine, now." I said, and waited for her reaction.

I didn't have long to wait, for as soon as I let go, she turned and glared at me. But before she could say anything I silenced her by pressing my lips against hers.

She mumbled something against my lips, giving me the advantage of her open mouth. I slipped my tongue into her warm cavern, and explored.

She moaned and I smiled as her arms found themselves around my neck. Mine were around her waist, as I backed us against her bedroom wall. Her back hit the wall and she moaned. Removing my arms from her waist, I gently rubbed my hands over her stomach. Her hands played with my hair, as she pulled away for breath. I licked her cheek, nibbling her jawbone, I moved down her neck.

I ran my teeth teasingly over the juncture were the mating mark would go. She tensed slightly. I smirked, so she knew what that spot was used for? But she relaxed as I moved back up neck, while my hands made their way up the front of her shirt. She moaned again, pushing her lips against mine.

Her hands moved through my hair, before wrapping back around me neck. Pulling me down to her face. I growled slightly, she instantly pulled away, retracting all of herself from me. I growled again looking at her. That wasn't why I had growled, but that was what she thought.

Suddenly there was a loud banging noise on her front door, which was why I was growling. I had sensed someone coming and knew who it was. Kagome made to go answer it but I refused to let her go. Sighing she looked at me with her ice blue eyes. "Sesshomaru I have to answer the door." She said, indicating for me to let her pass.

But I remain frozen, locking her blue eyes with my molten gold. "No. I wish not to confront my brother at this time" I said seeing her flinch at the answer. Smirking I licked her cheek. "Your mine now. He can't have you." I whispered, she smiled a heart-melting smile and growled softly at me. "Well, if I'm yours. Does that make you, mine?" she purred, twisting her fingers in my coal black hair. I smirked, leaning down I lightly bite her neck, not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to leave a red mark.

"Yes." I breathed in her ear. She growled and surprisingly bit me back, just as gently. The banging on the door increased, drawing us out of our moment. Growling I glared at her bedroom door. Kagome laughed, a sound almost like the gentle breeze of morning wind.

She smiled and pushed past me, motioning for me to follow. I growled and fell in step with her, walking down the stairs and into her foyer. "Coming!" she called as she jogged to the door. "God Kagome hurry up!." Came a gruff voice that sounded far from polite, a voice only Inuyasha could have. Kagome glared at the red cherry door, willing the person on the other side to melt.

"What do you want Inu-baka?" demanded Kagome, I was surprised though it was unreadable on my face. 'Kagome went from cheery to mad in seconds, that had to be a record or something' I thought, amused at the onna's mood swings.

There was silence for a moment, in which I was sure my half brother would brake. "Kagome What did you just call me?!" he raged from the other side of the door. Kagome sighed, turning to me, her eyes looked tired. Instead of a piercing ice blue they were a dull blue. I growled, 'Did my half-brother effect her this much?' I thought. I almost smirked when Inu-Yasha paused, he must have heard the growl.

For the next words that left his mouth were. "Kagome who is there with you?!" Kagome smiled slightly, purring softly she walked closer to the door. I merely raised an eyebrow at her actions. Looking at me she smiled a fleeting smile then turned back t the door. "You betrayed me Inu-Yasha. You cheated on me, with my cousin."

She whispered and paused taking a breath she continued. "But when I wanted to brake it off, you deny me that right? You call my house and cuss me out? Then you come over and demand to be let in? Then you have the nerve to demand to know who is here with me?!" she raged every word stronger, colder and filled with hatred.

"Get. Off. Of. My. Pouch. And. Remove. Yourself. From. My. Property." She gritted out, just barely controlling her rage. I could feel her youkai screaming for release, but she held it in check, another reason I respected and loved her. Walking over to her, I slowly wrapped my arms around her waist, nuzzling her ear. She instantly calmed.

I could still sense my half brother outside, but for some reason he remained oddly quite. She started growling again. "Why aren't you gone yet Inu-Yasha?" she questioned the hanyou outside. "Feh. Wench." He muttered as he could be heard walking away. Kagome relaxed when she could not longer sense his presence. After a moment of two, I nibbled her ear, causing her to giggle.

Smirking I tugged lightly on it, she sucked in a breath. I smirked again, moving down I fond her pulse on her neck a licked it. Kagome shiver and leaned into me.

I smiled but growled when I heard the phone ringing. Kagome sighed an pulled away, but I tighten my grip.

"Come on Sesshomaru. I have to answer the phone. Besides it might be my mom." She said, as I reluctantly let her retrieve the phone. I growled slightly louder, pissed with al this damn interruptions. She smiled and walked back to the kitchen to get the wireless, I presume.

Following I took a sit on the chairs, as she answered. "Hello? Higurashi residence. How may I help you?" she answered it seemed even with out thinking about it.

There was a pause, and I heard a faint muffed females voice. "Oh! Hello Mother!" she said and gave me a pointed glare, to which I returned. Sighing she went back to answering what ever questions the female asked.

I wandered if she was the Princess of the Eastern Lands, for she carried the symbol. I decided to ask her later. Getting up I walked over to my kagome. 'Wait...My Kagome?' I questioned my self, looking at her I nodded. 'Yes. My Kagome.' I snaked my arms around her waist and rested my head on hers. She titled her head back an raised a slim black eyebrow.

I merely looked at her and she sighed, after a moment or two more of talking she hung up the phone. Which must have been difficult seeing as how I refuse to release her.

Once she hung the phone up she looked at me. My arms were still around her waist; she had turned to that she was facing me. "Sesshomaru do you have something .....I don't know..." she started but shook she head.

Looking at me, she smiled that breath-taking smile. I smile a gentle smile and pulled her with me as I sat down, her straddling my hips once again.

She laughed lightly still smiling, hugging my neck she rested her head against me chest. We sat their for a while, just liking the feeling of being in each other's arms, just the peaceful atmosphere.

Finally I broke the silence, "Kagome.... Are you the Eastern Lords' daughter?" I asked, lifting her chin with my hand. She looked at me that angelic smile still in place.

She pulled out of my grasp and leaned over to my ear. "Depends, Are you still Lord of the Western Lands?" she giggled, her breath tickling my ear, my mind going blank as she licked it. "To answer your question.... yes I am."

She said, brushing her lips against mine. I smiled and pulled her back. One hand holding the back of her neck, the over roaming her body.

She moaned as my tongue entered her mouth, I felt her legs slowly wrapping around my waist. Her hands tangling in my hair slightly pulling me to her.

I could fell myself going hard against her, she moaned again, telling me that she felt it. I smirked. Pulling away I whispered in her ear. "So you like that, Kagome?" I whispered huskily, my breath in light pants. She smiled, eyelids half closed with pleasure.

I hadn't noticed, until now, that one of her hands wasn't in my hair. In fact in was running over my chest. I unconsciously growled, in turned she smirked.

"The same could be asked of you, Sesshomaru." She said, playfully. Sighing she kissed me and started to pull away. I held her in place, "Where are you going?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

Kagome looked at me, "I mom is going to be home soon. And I don't want her walking in on me making out with the Western Lord, let alone someone she thought she could trust with her daughter in a house alone." She said, finally pulling away, as I let the information sink in.

She smiled again and stretched making her way to the living room, with me of course following. Just as we sat down the doorbell rang. Jumping up Kagome went to answer it. Moments later she walked in with an mid-aged woman, her mother.
