Chapter 4: Realization

Kagome followed the servant quietly. She was trying very hard to conceal her anticipation.

'I can't wait to get to my new room. Anything would be better than where I was.'

Just as she finished that thought, they entered a room.

Kagome's chin nearly hit the floor as she was awestruck at the grandeur of the room she was in.

"Wow!," she exclaimed.

She looked to the servant, "Are you sure this is the right room?"

"Yes, my lady. Per Lord Sesshoumaru's request, you are to be brought here. This will be your new quarters."

Kagome could not contain her grin any longer. What little extra clothing she had, she tossed on a chair in order to pursue looking around.

"Will there be anything else, my Lady?"

'Boy, is he polite,' "Um, no, no thank you. This will be fine."

The servant bowed out gracefully. Leaving Kagome to explore to her hearts content.

"Wow, this place is fit for royalty."

Kagome was in heaven by her standards. She could definitely get used to living like this.

'Too bad Sesshoumaru has to be so indifferent. I wish he would lighten up a little. Darn, why do my thoughts have to include him.'

In the center of the room was a very large hand made bed. It had to be at least three times the size of a normal king size bed. Kagome pulled back the thick, down comforter to reveal the red satin sheets. As she ran her hand across the cold, shimmering sheets, she spoke softly to herself, "A girl could get used to sleeping between these."

However, Kagome had not heard the visitor enter the room.

"I'm glad you approve of my choice of bedding. One such as myself requires a most comforting sleep."

Sesshoumaru had decided to have her brought to the 'Master's' Suite. This was his father's room. Normally, he stayed in one of the smaller room's. He had never desired to claim that room for himself. But now, the game was afoot. He would have this mere human then be done with her to move on to more permanent matters.

"What do you think you are doing in my room?," Kagome asked unknowingly.

"My dear Kagome, whatever gave you the impression that this was 'your' room?"

"But you said…….. I thought."

"Yes, I did agree to move you to another room, I just didn't disclose which room."

"So, you're telling me this is your own personal room?"

"That is correct."

"Well, I don't like it. This wasn't part of our arrangement."

"But it was. Do you not remember the conditions that we were to discuss later. Well, were discussing it now."

"I never agreed to sleep with you."

"I never said you were going to sleep with me. After all, the floor looks more to your suiting."

Kagome's eyes saddened at the realization that she had but two choices. 'Either I can return to the hell hole I just escaped from or I can stay with an egotistical, jack-ass, that thinks he's Kami's gift to…………'

With a look of defeat she asked if she might at least have a blanket. The large room was rather drafty and sleeping on the floor was sure to give her a cold.

He motioned to a dresser and told her she would find everything she needed in there. He then left the room, shortly to return ready for bed. He was wearing loose fitting brushed cotton pants with his hair tied back in pony tail fashion in several different places so not to entangle it. He made his way to the large bed and settled in. Kagome, having made herself a small pallet out of a couple of blankets, was desperately trying to get comfortable.

Finally, she drifted off to sleep.

Startled awake, Kagome could have sworn she heard a woman screaming.

'There it is again….. Wait a minute. That sounds like it's coming from in here.'

Then a new sound caught her attention. The sound of rustling sheets.

Kagome lay there quietly, she was not sure what was happening.

It was the next sound that brought her to realization. She heard the grunts and groans of the couple on the bed above her.

'No way! Surely he wouldn't do something like that. Especially with me in here. Has he no decency at all.'

Kagome, moving as quietly as she could, dared to peek over the edge of the bed.

Clamping her hand over her mouth to stifle the gasp of shock, she confirmed her assumption. There was Sesshoumaru, having at it with one of his concubines.

Kagome watched in silence for a moment.

"How sad."

Kagome did not realize until it was too late that she had spoken aloud instead of only thinking to herself.

Sesshoumaru removed himself from his current task and ordered the woman to leave. Knowing it was better and safer not to question him, the woman gathered herself then left.

As soon as she was out the door, a pair of raging inferno eyes met with Kagome's.

'Ah, oh. I'm in trouble now,' Kagome thought.

"What do you mean sad?"

"He, he, he, uh, you heard that, huh?" a/n: Kagome gives one of those OH, shit giggles.

With only a bed sheet wrapped around him, he reached over the edge of the bed and snatched Kagome up. He tossed her to the middle of the large bed, then sat straddling her. She was not going anywhere until he had his answers.

"Answer me!"

"Well, it just seems sad that someone would have to rely on summoning love. It's just so emotionless."

"It's just a release. No more, no less."

"So, you're telling me that you feel nothing when you're with those women?"

"Feelings and emotions are for the weak. The only thing I need, or I should say my body needs is a release."

"So, it doesn't bother you knowing that you're missing out on about 90% of what makes it really worthwhile?"

"What do you know? Have you been with so many that you have such experience? Has my idiot hanyou brother sampled this?"

Kagome blushed. Truth be known she was still a virgin. But she knew in her heart what love meant.

"Um, well, actually you see, I've never been with anyone."

She tried turning her face away from his glare. Even though his features had softened, she was still embraced under his close gaze.

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and breathed in deeply.

'Why had I not noticed before?,' he thought.

"You're a virgin?"

Kagome shook her head in agreement. She didn't think she could be much more embarrassed than she was at this moment.

Of course, Sesshoumaru took this as a renewed challenge. It had been many years since he had encountered a virgin.

Just the thought of what he could be ravishing in was about to drive him into oblivion.

Kagome noticed that his breathing had increased dramatically.

"Oh, boy. This doesn't look good. Better try to get out of here while I still can."

While he still seemed distracted with his thoughts, Kagome attempted to wiggle free from beneath him. Unfortunately, this only aroused the demon above her even more.

Sesshoumaru grabbed both of her hands and held them tight above her head. Slowly, he moved his face alongside hers. He sniffed and nuzzled at her ear. Kagome closed her eyes, trying to block out the sensation that was creating a heat burning within her.

Her mind was fighting a losing battle with her body. The fact that he was wrapped only in a sheet and straddled atop her, did not help matters. Kagome had longed to be touched in a way that only a man could do. She had always envisioned it would be Inu-Yasha, but recent events showed her that would never come to be.

Kagome dared to let go of her emotions, if only for a moment. When she did so, her body arched, pressing her womanhood against his desire. She moaned from the little bit of pleasure she had got. At the same time she nipped and tugged at his ear. Trying desperately to pull him closer to her with her hands.

"Love me," she whispered. So silently that his acute hearing almost missed her plea.

Sesshoumaru jumped back. Never had anyone ever initiated such a thing with him. He had always summoned, released and then returned to his previous business. But this was different.

Startled at the sudden lack of weight holding her down, Kagome took the opportunity to remove herself from the bed. As she did she stole a quick glance at Sesshoumaru. A look of confusion and bewilderment adorned his handsome features. Stopping for only a moment, Kagome touched the side of his face and whispered to him, "Maybe, someday, you will open your heart to know what love really is."

He shivered beneath her touch.

She then removed herself to return to her pallet. She listened as Sesshoumaru dressed and left the room.

Kagome's mind was reeling. She knew better than to open up her heart, to him especially. He seemed so cold, so calculating. 'But underneath his cold facade, I can feel the warmth, the love. Someone just has to show him how to bring it to the surface.

"That someone's going to be me."

Closing her eyes, she drifted off to sleep once more.
