,,Kagome , tell me what happened." He whispered to her, still cradling her in his arms.

,,Nothing." She tried to lie to him, but by the way his arms brought her closer she knew that he wasn't buying it.

,,Kagome." He repeated again, his hands drawing comforting circles on her back. He felt her sigh, as well as the way she buried her head even further into the crook of his neck, but he also heard her voice.

,,It's the past. There is no need…" Kagome started but Sesshoumaru cut her off.

,,You can only walk towards the future if you close up your past."

Rising her eyes to his, she couldn't help but think that what he said seemed to be out of … experience.

Of course it was, she was after all only 18, and that in three months, while he already was 27.

Brushing her hand across his cheek, she promised herself, promised herself that they would become the best of friends, and then she would try to take away some of the pain of his past.

,,Sesshoumaru" She whispered to him, taking the small growl he emitted as a sign he was listening.

,,As you know I'm the only daughter of the Higurashi family. My family was very rich, in fact records show they rivaled your family." Sesshoumaru slowly nodded , motioning for her to continue.

,,My father was, or is, a brilliant business man. But my mother insisted that she also became part of the business. Of course he had to let her, it was probably the worst thing he did." Resting her head on his chest, she listened to his heartbeat, finding a strange comfort in it.

,,My mother made some, I was told that they were bad deals, and she ended up in ruining us. My father of course lived only for his company. He loved me, yes, but with the fights he had with my mother, the company was his only… "

,,Lifeline." Sesshoumaru supplied making her look up and nod.

,,Since then, he had more free time, took me for walks, played games, but he wasn't the same, only a shadow of the man I knew. The reason for today was…

when I was 6, we went to the mall, and I was looking at puppies, and then I turned around and he was gone.

I searched for him, called out for him, and then when I thought I saw him I ran after him, straight into glass panels. My wrists were cut open, the blood was everywhere, but I wasn't scared, I didn't even care, the only person was already gone.

And then I fainted, woke up in a white hospital room, with no one beside Myoga-san , my butler, at my side. He cares very much for me, which reminds me I have to call him.

He told me I shouldn't believe anything my mother was about to tell me, but as a child I considered my mommy, even though she was never there, my mom.

It was my fault. My fault, her voice repeated endlessly.

And I started to believe that it was.

But the years went by, and I grew up , and slowly I realized just what a person my mother was. She was cheating on my dad all along, and she knew my dad wanted more children, not just me and my little brother.

I found records signaling she had an abortion, the same week my father had left. "

Looking up at him she noticed his eyes for the first time, the way they showed her just who he was .

He cared, protected her, but he would never pity her.

Just as he never expected pity.

,,It wasn't my fault." She ended her story, tracing the buttons on his shirt before letting her head drop back on it.

,,Let's make a deal." Sesshoumaru told her after a while, his hands never stopping with the circles on her back. He had understood why now, and he also knew that usually he would just leave this be, but this time something told him not to.

He had iron control over his instinct, but now, it was more than just that, he didn't want to go.

,,Hmm." Kagome murmured, a sure sign he should talk before she fell asleep.

,,I don't leave you, no matter how annoying you get" he smirked when he felt her hit his arm playfully, ,,and you don't leave me." He finished off, looking into blue grey orbs the next second.

,,You mean we stay friends , no matter what. Right?" Kagome asked him , hope evident in her voice.

,,Yes." Sesshoumaru agreed, although he turned his eyes from hers when he realized he never had… He felt Kagome's fingers on his cheek, turning his head towards her.

,,I'll teach you." She whispered, her eyes shining with kindness and care, as well as tears.

Jumping off him, Kagome took up a thoughtful expression ignoring Sesshoumaru's questioning gaze as to why she was so energetic all of the sudden. Rubbing his temples he sighed . What the hell had he gotten himself into.

He never had a friend. Never. Inuyasha and Miroku were friends since they were children. But he never had a friend.

,,We need some sort of secret sign." Kagome interrupted his thoughts, making him ask himself if she now lost the last bit of sanity she had.

,,If you are thinking of some secret hand-shake, or something in the line forget it." He told her bluntly, getting up and walking to the kitchen to get some water.

,,I figured that's not your type." Kagome told him while she followed him, taking the bottle of water from him the moment he got it out of the fridge.

Getting two glasses she handed one to him, pouring the water into it, and then putting the bottle back.

,,Now why did you do that?" Sesshoumaru questioned tiredly, watching her thoughtful expression leave for a joyful one.

,,I need my dresses remember? "

Such a child , he told himself, drinking the water he was offered, a idea suddenly coming into his mind, when he saw the sign of the Western Lands on his glass.

,,How about a tattoo?" He asked her, the shriek she emitted killing his ears, human form still there. Which reminded him they needed to talk about that.

,,A what?! Are you nuts?! No fucking way, that hurts!!!" She shrieked again, going up and down in his kitchen hands firmly planted on her hips, talking about all the side effects something like that…

Kagome whipped around hearing the sudden… laughter. He was laughing , he was laughing at her but that was the last of her thoughts. He was laughing, a rich and deep laugh, his eyes shining with amusement…

Against her wishes, she joined into his laughter, supporting her weight on the bar opposite from the side he was sitting.

,,You should laugh more often, just like smile." Kagome told him when their laughter died out.

,,Either a tattoo, or no sign." Sesshoumaru told her flatly, a devilish smile on his face, the smile growing into a smirk when he saw Kagome's mouth hang open like that of a fish.

`She's still a girl after all.' He thought .

,, N.. no.. fuck … fucking way " Kagome stuttered, turning her blushing face. He was way to handsome, how the hell could she not have noticed? Well she did, but he was an ass, so she let it go.

,,Such a language, my little panther." He whispered to her, turning around and walking towards the TV.

,,You, you… " She started but found no fitting word, only resulting in another teasing smile from him.

,,It won't hurt." He told her seriously, adding a `too much' in his mind.

,,But it will." She whispered, walking towards the couch and sitting beside him.

,,If you're a hyper sensitive person , yes." He told her amusedly, knowing fully well that she would take the challenge.

,,Fine then, Mr. I'm an ass, what tattoo will we get?"

She snapped at him. There was no way she was the only one getting one.

Sesshoumaru smirked, one tattoo between the others, it wouldn't show.

,,I get a black panther and you get a white tiger."

,,Isn't… isn't that too big?" Kagome whispered gulping.

,,If you want it to be the natural size I want to see it." Sesshoumaru told her smirking , catching the pillow she sent flying towards him.

,,You are such a hentai." She told him taking the pillow and sending it towards him again.

,,Now Kagome, it wasn't my suggestion to make that big now was it?" He told her dead serious look set on his face.

,,Of course it will be small, and on the back of your neck where the neck meets your shoulder. We're getting it tomorrow, and now stop being a child." Sesshoumaru continued, taking the pillow from her.

,,You ass!" Kagome yelled at him taking another pillow, ignoring his exasperated sigh.
