Kagome was astounded by the level of passion Sesshoumaru was pouring into the kiss. It was as if every bit of the frustration that had been building up inside him over time was falling away. She'd had no idea how stressed he had been. Sure, she'd had fun tormenting him by not flirting when once she realized that was what he wanted, but now she felt a little guilty for dragging it out for so long.

Sesshoumaru wanted the kiss to go on forever but he knew it had to end at some point. He was hesitant, as he didn't know how she would react once he pulled away. He'd basically latched onto her like an octopus, locking his lips to hers without giving her the chance to stop him.

He hadn't been able to resist. Finally having her use that tone with him again, reliving the chase that had started all his confusion and finally led to his personal discovery that he wanted the miko, and then having to save her from certain death... It was all too much. The taiyoukai who never showed emotions and would rarely admit to feeling them had been overwhelmed and he needed this kiss, this reassurance that she was all right. He'd also been dying to kiss her for weeks.

Finally, Sesshoumaru pulled back slowly, his reluctance obvious as he kept coming back in for smaller, shorter, but no less passionate kisses. Eventually Kagome decided she would have to put an end to this if she ever wanted her lips back. She tugged at his hair, while turning her head, and the taiyoukai sighed heavily.

"I apologize," he nearly whispered.

"For what? For the best first kiss in the history of man or demon?"

"First kiss?" he asked, surprised. Surely at her age she'd been kissed before He knew of the differences between his time and hers and had even heard of her various suitors. Kagome had been sure to have that particular conversation with Sango loud enough for him to overhear, just for the fun of it.

"Well, not exactly my first, but the first I wanted, even if it was a surprise."

"Someone kissed you without your permission?" he inquired, his blood heating at the thought, already forgetting that he'd just done the same.

"Kind of. Hojo, this boy that has a massive crush on me, he tried to kiss me once. His lips were all wet and it was just disturbing." When Sesshoumaru lifted a brow at her, she continued with a blush. "This was much better."

"That is good to know," he purred seductively with a smirk. "And it can get much better."

When he leaned closer for another kiss, Kagome planted her hands on his chest to keep him away. "Oh, no, you don't. You keep those lips away from me, Mister."

"But I thought..."

"You thought wrong. I don't know what's going on here between us, and until I do, nothing else is going to happen. Now, which way back to camp?"
