Hi guys, thanks for the great reviews! Sorry for the long update, or lack of it, hope you enjoy! JA NE!

,,Kagome , we need to talk." He told her quietly as they entered their room. They had just taken Inuyasha to his room , and he needed to talk to her about her turning youkai.

Turning around he barely had time to catch her crumbled form before it hit the ground. Taking her into his arms gently he noticed the wound on her back was already healed just as the markings had suddenly disappeared.

Laying her on the bed, he saw the evidence of gruesome battle etched into her once tranquil features… she was asleep, or rather unconscious from the tire of the fight.

A small smile betrayed his cold façade when he remembered her, the way she had fought, behaved, even talked . . . she was his …

His… the word rang in his mind over and over …

When he hadn't been able to get to her, when she disappeared , when he saw her in chains … the only thing which remained in him, controlled him , it was fear.

Fear for her . The fear kept his temper in check, refused to let his youkai side take control, scare her, for he knew even so he would never harm her.

Never, never her. But the one who would cause her harm, the one who made her smile falter, her innocence go to waste, that one he would harm, and how much he would harm.

Red seeped into his eyes, possessiveness lacing his words as he quietly whispered …

,,Mine"

Placing a kiss to her temple he withdrew from the room, he couldn't face her like this, angry, or …scared, scared that now Rin was gone, she would …no she wouldn't.

Walking towards his study he never expected what greeted him.

,,What can I do for you father?" Sesshoumaru bit out coldly , knowing fully well his bloodlust was not yet satiated.

Turning in order to meet his son's eyes Inutaisho spoke calmly, but still held his voice soft.

,,I only wished to protect you with the marriage I arranged. Naraku was after you for too long, and if Rin was your mate "

,,Her life would have been bond to mine, thus making my death hers." Sesshoumaru finished, tersely.

Blinking , his father nodded curtly, knowing Sesshoumaru was far from done.

,,So you would have condemned me to a life with

a woman driven by obsession, in order to save me?" Sesshoumaru continued , sarcasm in his words.

Not even waiting for an answer he went on.

,, That is pitiful. And the fact that you proclaim to have done it out of the desire to protect your son

is even more pitiful. You have tried making me forget about my mother, did you do that out the wish to protect me as well?"

,,Your mother would have made you soft, and that is not the quality required of the future Lord of the West. " his father snapped at him.

,,And yet by the admission you have made you have proven to be what you call soft. You know very well that is not softness."

,,And what pray tell is it. My son?" his father raged at him.

,,Love. The love of a parent. . . something you could never be able to feel."

,,How would you know what love is?!" the man roared at him.

Not even blinking , remaining cold at the sudden outburst, Sesshoumaru let a smile soften his look.

,,Because even though you wanted me to become ruthless, my mother thought me how to become a person with no deceptions, no fears of unknown, no resentment."

,,That isn't love."

,,What do you think love is? A carnal desire, a craving for someone to ease loneliness, a yearning for a person who could mend your soul? Chemistry, as others would call it?"

,,No , the ones who truly love, know there is no word on this world which might explain it. It is love, simple, complicated, but love . And you do not love , so don't claim to have loved me as my father.

Try to love Inuyasha, don't let him wander in this world thinking no one was there."

Standing, he walked to the man's side, saying it.

,,Goodbye, Inutaisho."

,,No more calling me father?"

,,I only have one father , and he isn't you. "

Blinking , Kagome snuggled closer to the warmth around her, opening her eyes cautiously. She felt drained, like all the blood had stopped circling in her and had just decided to dissipate.

Opening her eyes fully, she saw flawless skin, the line of a jaw, a chin, and even an earlobe. Looking down she saw her arm draped over a rather muscular chest.

Blushing , as she noticed the nakedness of the chest, the defining of each muscle, she couldn't help but realize this was Sesshoumaru's chest, and she was sleeping on it … well it was comfy, but he usually didn't like it when she used him as a pillow.

Trying to pry herself off him, she felt the tightening of his arms around her waist, holding her to him.

,,Sleep." A voice commanded gently from somewhere above her.

,,But I'll sleep on you." She pouted in a child's voice, seeing that her attempts to get out of his grasp were futile.

,,Sleep my love ." the command came again, making her tense, and making the person above her sigh in exasperation.

Drawing up, he looked at her confused and shocked sapphire eyes, making her get lost in the intensity of his golden stare.

Bending down, he took her lower lip between his teeth nibbling on it and then soothing it with his tongue. Delighting in her gasp he plunged his tongue deep inside her moist cavern making hers respond instantly. They battled each other, got lost in one another, breathed through the other, their tongues still dancing their frantic dance.

Pulling up, he lay down, pulling her head to the crook of his neck, whispering to her, making chills run down her spine.

,,Sleep my love."

,,Ok." She whispered back, making him chuckle and add a commonly known `I'm an ass' and `ruining the mood' remark.

,,I would have done that sooner, if I knew it made you shut up."

Smacking his chest lightly, Kagome blushed, tire and confusion still ever present.

Oh well, she would deal with this another time.
