“Are you sure?” he asked her quietly, his tone neither approving nor disapproving.

She knew, instinctively, that the decision rested completely in her hands. He would not command or coax her; he would not condemn or chastise her. He waited; this magnificent being of incredible power, for her to grant him this.

She smiled, her face a picture of unfettered beauty, her eyes alight with trust and passion. Her gaze locked onto him, as if he was the only thing she could see, and she saw reflected back in his eyes the very same absorption and intensity.

She did not press him for gentle words; she did not demand assurances from him. She didn't need to.

This, within the circle of her arms, was her heart's desire.

Through pain and desperation, through cold silences and her tears, the choice of her heart had never wavered. This one; her lord Sesshoumaru, was her life and her breath. He was everything she'd ever need.

And now, in the circle of his arms, she was resplendent and radiant with the glory of his loving. There was no scar left he hadn't kissed, no hidden part of her left he hadn't tasted, no inch of skin he hadn't touched.

She was his.

He was hers.

“Yes,” she replied with all the love in her heart.
