Chapter 4

- - Sesshomaru's POV - -


I sat outside in the garden after we had separated and couldn't stop thinking about her.
She was beautiful - soft pale skin, a stunning smile, and those eyes . . . her deep chocolate brown
eyes that seemed to see right through everyone. As the night got deeper, I still couldn't rest. My
feet started to carry me someplace. I realized where I was going - the guest room, Kagome's
room - and relaxed. I opened the door slowly and stepped into her bedroom.


I walked towards the bed where Kagome seemed to be sleeping. I raised my hand to run
it down the soft skin on her arm. I stopped myself before touching her. I don't want to wake her,
she needs her rest after a day like this. But she turned towards me and opened her eyes.


"Sesshomaru?"


"Can't sleep either?" I laid down next to her on the bed and put my arms around her,
drawing her to my chest.


"With you here I might be able to." Her comment surprised me, as it was the same as my
own thoughts towards her. I pulled her even closer and curled my body around her protectively.

She is so delicate. Even now, I feel like I might break her. "You need to rest, Kagome."

"Okay." She closed her eyes and didn't say another word. I inhaled the scent of her hair -
already, it was becoming more like my own. The scent seemed sweeter than it had before. She
fell asleep and started to mumble things from her dreams.

"Sesshomaru . . . gentle, kind." I finally relaxed into her body and began to rest.


- - Kagome's POV - -


I woke up this morning very cold. I remembered Sesshomaru coming into my room and
laying on the bed with me. But, looking around, I couldn't find him. I got up from the bed and
headed towards the bathroom. I slipped into the steaming water in the tub after taking off my
nightgown.


I think . . . that these feelings are the beginnings of love. I never had these feelings for
Inuyasha when I was with him. With Sesshomaru, these feelings seem right. He's a gentleman,
very kind and gentle. His kisses . . . fantastic. He's beautiful in his own way, with those golden
eyes as the topper. Funny, the thing I like most about Inuyasha was his eyes.


I heard knocking on the door and in walked Sorabai. She didn't look as calm as usual, her
hair slightly mussed and her clothes not hanging as perfectly straight as they did before.


"Lady Kagome, we need to get you dressed very quickly. Your friends are here,
inquiring. Or, more specifically, the hanyou is demanding while the demon hunter and the
demon fox are trying to calm him down. Please come with me." Sorabai dressed me in a rosy
kimono, this time with small seashells embroidered on it. She braided my hair quickly and led
me through the hallway to a large area that seemed like the front of the castle.


"Kagome! What are you doing here? I need you to find my jewel shards, damn wench!"
yelled Inuyasha when he saw me. Sesshomaru started growling but I spoke before he could say
anything.


"No, you don't. You have that dead body to find your shards. And I'm here because
Sesshomaru is everything you're not. Kind, gentle, and handsome. And he doesn't call me a
wench."


Inuyasha turned red in anger, but Sesshomaru spoke this time before Inuyasha could say
anything else.



"Half breed, if you can not contain yourself, please leave my castle. Kagome belongs at
my castle now, as I actually take care of her like you should have. As for the rest of your group,
you may remain here as friends of Kagome." I smiled at that, although I was surprised.


"Sango, please stay!" I said, loudly, to Sango.


"Kagome," Sango glanced at Miroku. "I will stay. And so will Shippou. We talked about
this after you left. We both want to stay with you. You're Shippou's mom now, and my best
friend." Shippou nodded enthusiastically.


"Thank you, Sesshomaru. This means a lot to me," I said. Inuyasha snorted and then
Sesshomaru's gaze narrowed in on him.


"Get out, hanyou." Sesshomaru can sound very commanding. Inuyasha hesitated, and
then spoke again.


"Miroku, are you staying with them? Or are you coming with me?" Inuyasha asked
demandingly.


"I think I'll stay with Sango, Inuyasha."


"Well, fine, I get to be alone with Kikyo. Who, by the way, is so much better than you,
Kagome. You're just a copy."


Sesshomaru growled louder this time and grabbed his arm, throwing him out the door.
"Get out, half breed. You have no place in my lands."


So, Sesshomaru had servants show Miroku and Sango to their conjoined rooms and
Shippou to a smaller guest room.



"Thank you for letting them stay. I appreciate it." Sesshomaru said nothing in return, but
pulled me close. I laid my head on his chest once more. Do I . . . love . . . him? "Sesshomaru,
why are you letting us stay here?"

- - Sesshomaru's POV - -


I hesitated to answer, but ended up saying, "Because . . . . . I think I . . . love you. And I
know we're meant to be together in some way." Why did I just tell Kagome that? Maybe . . . . .
because it's true. The thought echoed in my head.


The brief silence between us felt like forever. But then, "I think that I love you . . . too,"
she said slowly. I glanced down; her face expressed her concentration on my reaction. I closed
my eyes.


My entire body relaxed. My shoulders unwound themselves and I opened my eyes to see
her looking up at me. I could tell she was speaking the truth that came from her heart. "Come
here, Kagome, we'll go to the garden again." I took her to the garden again, sitting down under
the cherry blossom tree once more.


"I think my father would be glad in my choice. We can make this work, between the two
of us."


"I hope so. I don't think I can handle not being with you." She responded softly, and then
smiled. The smile showed her confusion about our developing relationship.


"I hope I can always make you smile." I tapped the tip of her delicate nose with my
finger. Her smile grew slowly. "And I hope I can always do . . . this." I leaned forward and
kissed her again, our lips parting.


"Mmmm . . . me too," she sighed and relaxed into me. I moved away from her lips so I
could kiss a trail down her neck, and then the hollow behind her ear. Kagome moved so she

could kiss the side of my neck. I pulled her closer to me and we both looked up into each other's
eyes, foreheads touching. "Sesshomaru, I love you so, so much."


"Kagome." I lifted her up into my arms and used my power to float us into her bedroom.
I laid her down on top of the bed. She nodded in answer to my questioning eyes.

A.N. Lemon ahead.

I used my power to make her kimono disappear. She was beautiful. I lower myself onto
the bed, your fingers pressing into my back, holding me ever so closely. The feel of my fingers
running through your hair warms me up. I hold your head against my chest. Then, I move my
hand, brushing my fingers lightly over your lips, soon following with my own lips. You moan
and whisper softly, "Please, I can't stand it any longer, Sesshomaru. I want you. Please."


"Love, I will not rush our first time together. I feel your need, but I have to tell you
something first. Inu yokai, we . . . mate for life. If we do make love, you will be bound to me
forever, and I to you. Your life will be extended so it is equal to mine; you will outlive all of
your human friends and your family. And if I die, you will too. If you die, so will I. That is, if we
are mated."


"Sesshomaru, yes. I will be your mate." She used her power to make my clothing
disappear. I managed not to take her right then, slowing down so my desires didn't take my body
over. I moved my lips to the hollow behind her ear. Kagome shivered delicately. "Sesshomaru,"
she gasped, "I love you."


I growled lowly into her ear. "Mine, my mate." Her pulse echoed my growl.


Breathing softly, Kagome whispered, "Yours, as you are mine."


"Yes," I said, "I am yours, forever." I moved my hands slowly down the length of
Kagome's body, grasping her hips. "And ever," lightly nipping her reddened nipples, sliding my
hands lower, down to her thighs. "And ever." I parted her pale thighs and bared her tender pink

flesh. "And always." I moved my mouth lower, tongue rough against her silken core, teeth gently
biting. Then I dove my tongue into her center, probing.


"Sesshomaru! Now, please! I need you," she cried between gasps from the waves of
pleasure that rippled through her. I growled in response to her pleading and look up her beautiful
body and into her chocolate brown eyes.


"Okay." I moved my body upward, trailing my lips on her skin, my eyes never leaving
hers. I dive into her core, sill watching her. Kagome moaned, and grabbed my hips, grinding her
own against me. I growled softly, and slow us down. She broke our eye contact when she laid
her head on my neck, softly biting. I growled again, but still softly, speeding up once more, my
pounding driving her to bite harder. I felt her tightening around me, almost to our climax. I
leaned towards her, my growling no longer soft. She gasped as we reached the climax; I muffled
my own gasp as I bit down on her neck.


Spent, we fall asleep.

A.N. Yeah, I know, this chapter's long. Or longer than usual for me....
