Recap of Last Chapter:
“Not yet.” He smirked and then swiftly turned and left the room without giving her time to recover or reply. She had to rack her brain for a moment to think of what her last remark was. Then she remembered. She had told him that she was not his mate. And he had told her ‘not yet’. This must have meant that he had intentions of making it to be true in the future. She would remember his words to use against him one day. That’s the kind of princess she was. She sighed and left the room heading for the dinner hall, knowing that it was nearly time for the hall to be filled with the food of the evening.

Chapter Five: Deep within the heart of a youkai
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kagome was now sitting in a large dining hall. The room was lit brightly by the light from many candles around the edges of the room. The only others present in the room were Rin and Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was seated at the head of the table, with Rin at the other end, opposite him. Kagome sat on the left side of Rin. The two ningens munched happily on their dinner. Sesshoumaru merely sat and watched them as they did so.
After a few moments of silence Rin looked toward Kagome and swallowed the food that had been in her mouth before opening it. “Kagome-chan, Rin wants to know if Kagome-chan can teach Rin to read.” Rin asked Kagome, creating a look of shock on Kagome’s face.
“Well Rin-Chan, that’s up to Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome replied after she too had removed all traces of food from her mouth.
“Can she Sesshoumaru-sama?” Rin asked the Lord eagerly.
“I don’t see why not Rin. It sounds like a good idea.” The Lord replied from his end of the table. Rin smiled happily at him and thanked him. The rest of the meal was silent. At the end of the meal, Sesshoumaru excused himself from the table and he left out the door adjacent to where he was seated. Kagome and Rin removed themselves from the table and then exited the door behind them. As they exit the door they are approached by Yumi and Sesshoumaru. “It is time for you to go to bed Rin.”
“Okay Sesshoumaru-sama.” Rin smiled as she waved goodnight to both Sesshoumaru and Kagome and she took Yumi’s hand and skipped off down the hallway.
“Thank you Kagome for accepting to teach Rin to read.” Sesshoumaru said as he looked down the hallway, watching Rin and Yumi disappear around the corner.
“It’s not a problem, I need to have something to do while I’m here.” Kagome smiled at the lord who turned toward her and almost returned the smile but then caught himself.
“Oyasumi Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru said emotionlessly as he turned and walked away to his room.
“Oyasumi Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome replied and she turned to go to her own room. She took her time as she walked down the hall. She came to the door to Rin’s room and decided to peek inside to make sure that Rin was asleep. She opened the door to see the youji sitting up in her bed, staring expectantly at the door.
“I knew Kagome-chan would come and see me before I went to bed.” Rin smiled brightly.
“Yes Rin-chan, I wanted to make sure that you were in bed.” Kagome smiled back at the youji as she walked into the room a little.
“Kagome-chan, when Rin was littler...” She was cut off by Kagome.
“Younger Rin-chan, not littler.” Kagome added.
“Right, when Rin was...younger..., before her okaa died, Rin’s okaa used to tell her stories before she went to sleep. Will Kagome-chan tell Rin a story?” Rin questioned looking up hopefully at her new friend.
“Of course Rin-chan, I would love to.” Kagome nodded as she walked over toward the chair that still sat next to Rin’s bed. “Let’s see... what to tell you? Oh I know. How about since you have been unconscious for four days, I tell you the story of Sleeping Beauty, does that sound okay?”
“Yeah!” Rin answered as she got back under the covers of her bed and turned her body toward Kagome.
“Okay well here we go. ‘Once upon a time in a far away land...’” And Kagome told Rin the story of ‘Sleeping Beauty’. Well, she told her until the middle of the story when Rin fell asleep.
After Rin’s breathing had created a slow and steady pattern, Kagome got up from the chair and turned to leave the room. When she looked in the doorway she had to stop for a moment to catch her breath. Sesshoumaru was standing in the doorway leaning against the frame.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, you scared me. I did not know that you were here.” Kagome smiled as she continued walking toward the door.
“Yes, I do have a tendancy to sneak up on people. I wanted to thank you again for taking such good care of her. You are better to her than her own nanny is.” Sesshoumaru smirked as he moved out of the doorway so that Kagome could exit the room. Kagome however stopped in front of Sesshoumaru.
“I really enjoy being with her. She reminds me of me when I was younger. She’s so full of life, innocent even. She’s really amazing.” Kagome replied to the tai-youkai as she
began walking again, but this time toward her room. Sesshoumaru walked beside her, matching her short and slow paced stride.
“I must agree, she is something wonderful.” Sesshoumaru added. When they reached Kagome’s closed door, he reached out and opened the door for her. He walked into the room a few steps, pushing the door open wide so that Kagome could enter her room. Kagome walked into the room and stopped next to him and said a small ‘thank you.’
“No problem. I hope you have a good nights sleep Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru said as he took a step closer to her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead
“You too, Sesshoumaru-sama.” She smiled to him as he closed the door behind him as he left the room. Kagome went to the closet at the other end of her room. She had been told earlier that day that Yumi had put clothes for her to wear during her stay at the castle, in the closet. She opened the door and pulled out a light silk nightgown. She changed her clothes quickly and walked back over to her bed. She pulled the soft sheets down and then climbed into the bed.
Kagome began to think about, what else, but the tai-youkai whose home she was currently residing in, as she lie in her bed. There were a lot of things about Sesshoumaru that she had learned that day. A lot of things that she thought she knew before had been corrected. Such as her thinking that Sesshoumaru hated ningens. If he hated them so much, why had he brought her there to cure Rin?
Because he cared, that’s why. Sesshoumaru, whether or not he would admit it, actually cared about a ningen. She had also learned that morning that he had cared about his father. Why else would he respect his father’s wishes of allowing Inuyasha to be part of the Inu youkai family. True, Sesshoumaru was still not fond of his brother, but he did not want to destroy him as he had before.
Kagome’s thoughts then began to shift back to earlier that day, after lunch, when Sesshoumaru had opened up even more than he had that morning.

FLASHBACK
xXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXx
Kagome and Sesshoumaru were sitting in Sesshoumaru’s library. He had invited her in for a small chat.
“What did you want to speak with me about Sesshoumaru-sama?” Kagome questioned as she sat down in a large frumpy chair that sat opposite of the one that Sesshoumaru resided in.
“Really, I just have a few things that I want to tell you.” The tai-youkai said while not looking at the miko. “There are some things that I have found out about myself that I wish to share with you. Do not ask me why, for I am afraid that I do not know the answer.” He finally looked in her direction.
“I’ll listen to whatever it is that you need to say Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome smiled at him, glad that he was willing to open up his cold heart to someone.
“I suppose I should first off tell you that when Inuyasha comes to get you at the end of the week, I wish to make amends with my brother. We are family and I suppose that we should start acting as such. Then if you and Inuyasha will allow me to do so, I wish to join you in your journey to find Naraku, and aid in his killing.” Sesshoumaru paused for a moment to allow the question that he knew would come.
“Why is it that you wish to go after Naraku?” Kagome questioned him, giving him the question he had anticipated.
“I have just recently found out that Naraku was the one behind my mother’s death. I want revenge for her death.” Sesshoumaru replied, a look of anger rising on his face, but upon looking to Kagome he his face softened.
“Well, Sesshoumaru-sama, it is fine with me if you wish to join us. I am afraid that Inuyasha, however, will not be as easy to persuade.” Kagome smiled.
“I know my brother well enough Kagome-chan to know that he respects you, and he will do as you ask of him.” Sesshoumaru said looking at the young miko strangely as she began to laugh at his words. He gave a slight growl at her laughter.
“I don’t mean to laugh Sesshoumaru-sama, it’s just that I don’t think that Inuyasha really cares about what I think.” Kagome replied, looking honestly at the tai-youkai.
“Are not you and my brother promised to one another?” Sesshoumaru asked with his eyebrow cocked. Kagome gave off an almost sad sigh.
“Inuyasha and I have not ever been, nor ever will be lovers.” Kagome answered shortly while avoiding the gaze of the tai-youkai before her.
“Why not?” Sesshoumaru questioned her, again a questioning look found itself on his face.
“Inuyasha has someone else in his life that he feels is more worthy of his love than I. It really doesn’t bother me though, Inuyasha and I are good friends, and I like it that way.” Kagome answered him. “And what about you? Why do you not have a love in your life?”
“Me? Well, I suppose it would be because I’ve never had enough emotion to care about someone.” Sesshoumaru replied honestly.
“You’ve never had anyone?” Kagome asked in disbelief.
“I did have a really great friend once. She lived with me for a few years after my father died. But she was only a friend. She left me to return to her home, she promised to come back, but she never did.” And there it was, now Kagome had everything she needed to discover what had made Sesshoumaru the seemingly uncaring tai-youkai that he was.
“So that’s what it is with you.” Kagome smiled.
“I hardly believe that happiness is called for here Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru said coldly.
“I only mean that, I understand why you are so cold to people.” Kagome answered looking directly at Sesshoumaru.
“And why is that?” Sesshoumaru asked.
“You’re afraid to get close to people. Everyone that you get close to leaves you and you don’t like the heartbreak you get when those you are close to forget about you.” Kagome said gently as she reached across the space between the two and placed a hand on his arm, trying to comfort him.
“I must admit that you, Kagome-chan, have come across something that no one else ever has. You would have a good point. I suppose that might also fuel my hatred for Inuyasha. As much as I hate to say it, when I was a child, I did care about Inuyasha and his mother, before my father sent them away that is, after they left, I got angry at them for leaving.” Sesshoumaru’s gaze dropped down to the floor.
This was something that Kagome had never expected to happen. She moved from her seat, attempting to console the Lord of the Western lands by giving him a soft hug. As she wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru, he pulled her entire body down onto his lap and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him. She then hugged him tighter, comforting the tai-youkai. They sat like that for most of the afternoon. Tai-youkai and ningen, her placed delicately in his lap, arms wrapped around one another, her leaning on him, him depending on her, neither saying a word.

END FLASHBACK
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kagome starred at the ceiling above her bed. Only one thought came to mind after remembering the embrace and the intimate moments that she and the tai-youkai had spent together that afternoon. Did she really have feelings for him?
She knew that she was at least physically attracted to him. She only wondered if her feelings went beyond that. After pondering this question for a few minutes she decided that she had the rest of the week alone with Sesshoumaru to decide how she felt about the Lord of the Western lands. She fell asleep with the face of a certain youkai, in her mind.
