Kagome was sitting on her bed, looking out the window, at the rain pouring outside. The day at the beach was a week and a half past and Sesshoumaru was at work. He would be home in ten minutes, in ten minutes she would wipe away her tears, and try to fool him into thinking she hadn't been crying for the past two hours. But he would always know, he could tell, always the way her eyes looked, so sad and empty after she cried.

But now, she doesn't even know why she cries, she's not quite sure why she lays in her bed and cries until she can't breathe. But she has an idea.

"You still love him."

"Maybe."

"You still want to love him."

"Yes."

"You would love another?"

"…"

Her heart twisted around itself and she let out a confused and pained sob, am I crying for Inuyasha, am I crying because of what happened…or am I crying because of Sesshoumaru and what has happened…what has happened, I don't know what's going on, I don't like it though, it doesn't feel real. Maybe I'm afraid, I know that I feel disloyal, to Inuyasha. He would be so angry, if he knew the position I am in now. Oh, and he would hate me.

Another sob broke through the silence and tears ran down her cheeks like rivers.

I don't want to, but I might, it's possible, the way he is, the way he is now, makes it a bit easier.

She heard the front door opened and she ran into her bathroom and quickly washed her face before waltzing out into the family room, "Hey, Sesshoumaru!"

He turned around to look at her, he knew she had been crying, but he wouldn't say anything, "Hn,"

Kagome clasped her hands behind her back and twisted in her spot, nervous to ask him this, "I-I was wondering, if I could possibly, I mean…never mind!"

He shot her an annoyed look and she ignored him only to have him watch as a deep blush slowly crept up to her face, "I need to go to the store, to get some…uh, things."

He nodded once and handed her money, "Don't be long," and he walked away, leaving Kagome to stand in the room wondering what's got him so peeved.

"Hey, Ice Lord! What's got your panties in a twist?!"

Sesshoumaru stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned slowly to look down at the little miko of whom he had become so fond (because that's all he would call it).

"You," he gave her a strange look, anger, pain, and longing, "Now, go get your stuff."

Kagome had never been so afraid of him, he had never seemed so unapproachable, she nodded her head and walked into her room, slipping on shoes and grabbing her purse. She walked the short two blocks to the supermarket and hurried to get her things. At the cash register, a short man with thick glasses and Velcro sneakers stood behind her, whispering disgusting words, snickering when she would peek back over her shoulder at him. Kagome paid for her things and hurried out the door, she didn't even bother to look behind her before she started out running home, she knew the man would probably have to pay for his things, but still, he scared her. Kagome wrenched open the door and slammed it shut behind her, "Sesshoumaru!"

She ran to his study and threw open the door, he looked up at the panting girl, "What?"

She looked at him, suddenly wondering why she had come to him, and now she was suddenly shy under his gaze, "I, Well…I just wanted you to know that some creepy guy may come to our door, if so, could you, like, hit him?"

He turned away from her, "Hn, you won't be going out alone anymore."

Kagome began to protest, but instead nodded her head and took her purchased items back to her room where she put them in their rightful places. Kagome sat on her bed and pulled off her shoes, she brushed her hair and rearranged her pillows, she tidied up her bedside table, then walked into the bathroom and grabbed the cleaner out from under her sink and washed the mirrors in her bathroom. Then she went into her room and wiped down her vanity mirror, after that she organized her vanity, then her desk, then her closet, then her wardrobe. Then she walked into the study and kicked Sesshoumaru.

He shot out of his seat and had her up against the wall, growling in her face in two seconds tops, "What possessed you to do that miko?"

"Let go of me Sesshoumaru!"

He only let loose a vicious snarl and pressed her harder against the wall, "Explain yourself!"

"Well I would if you'd give me some goddamn space!"

He kept his eyes on her and his stare cruel, but backed away and let the angry girl have some room, "I want to know what your issue is, every since we went top the beach you've been acting even more mean than usual!"

He looked to the side, wary of where their conversation was going.

"If I did something wrong, then tell me, because, it hurts that you're upset with me."

He closed his eyes and tried to ignore the hurt sound in her voice, "I apologize."

Kagome slumped forward and looked up at him, "I don't want us to hurt one another, and I don't want us to feel we need to hide when we are upset."

Sesshoumaru looked at the girl before him, she seemed braver than any warrior he had met on the battle field, and he wanted to hold her, he wanted to feel her young heart beating whole, for once, while he held her. He would fix her and make her happy, he would make her smile bright again. He walked forward and placed a finger beneath her chin, lifting so he could look at her face, her delicate features. Her eyes were wide and young, filled with every emotion the girl held within her, tears threatened to overflow and he wiped them away before the could fall. He could tell she was going to break, it was obvious from the first time he had seen her. If he could, he would fix her before she broke.

He gently brushed the hair from her face, and she closed her eyes as he did so. He bent slightly at the waist brushing his cheek against hers and enjoying her slight intake of breath. He felt her hands on his chest as he placed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"Kagome, you should sleep now."

Kagome clenched her eyes shut, trying to bury the painful emotions that now leapt upon her, "Yes."

She looked up at him with her eyes full of tears, "Thank you."
