Lost in his thoughts, he had almost missed the blue light that began to shine from under the door to the well house. Narrowing his eyes, he knew that the time had come to begin. Inuyasha was here.

“You can turn around now Sesshomaru. I'm done changing.” Kagome said to the tall taiyoukai that was gazing out her window.

He turned to face her, and his breath was stolen from him. She was a vision. Her long, thick hair, black and shiny as a raven's wing was still damp from her bath. The extra moisture was causing it to curl even more than usual, and he longed to tangle his hands in it. Her blue eyes were shining up at him, and he was thankful for the happiness that seemed to flow through them. This was the Kagome he knew, the woman he had cared for.

“Miko, this Sesshomaru has missed you” he whispered to her. That said, he swept her into his arms and lifted her feet from the ground.

Kagome was shocked at the obvious display of affection, and the statement itself, since she had technically seen the taiyoukai only hours before. She had in fact, spent the night in his arms. But, all the same, it felt good to be back in them again. She gave into the pure delight that seemed to pour out of him and threw her arms around his neck. He lifted his face to hers and pressed his forehead to her own. “It's good to see you too.” she giggled as she looked into deep amber eyes surrounded by thick, sooty lashes.

He could become lost in those seas of blue, and never want to be rescued. He spun her in a half circle and looked over her shoulder, out the window. Seeing nothing yet, he returned his attentions to the woman in his arms. He was once again drawn into those sapphire eyes, so joyous, so trusting, so ALIVE. Closing his own, he brought his face down to hers, and kissed her firmly. As his lips touched hers and he savored her taste again, he felt his blood begin to heat and his soul begin heal for the first time in 500 years.

She had wanted to get away from demons and relax, but she couldn't help herself. This Sesshomaru was so different from the one in the feudal era. He was modern, he had feelings, he wasn't so self-absorbed. Yes, he retained all his confidence, beauty, and regal bearing from the past, but he was definitely different. And something in those honey eyes had seemed so sad, almost broken. Kagome wanted to know what had happened to make such a proud creature change so drastically, but she doubted that she had the heart to ask him and possibly bring back bad memories. It was enough for her to be here, in his arms. She gave herself freely to the kiss and sighed as the taiyoukai fisted his hands in her hair.

For the first time in 500 hundred years, he could taste her. When she opened her mouth to sigh, Sesshomaru seized his opportunity and began a painfully slow exploration of her warm little cavern. He wanted to remember everything about her should he never have a chance like this again. When she began to use her tongue to fight back for dominance, he had to restrain the urge to take her right there. She still possessed the fighting spirit that had drawn him to her and stoked the fire of his lust. He could no longer deny it; there never was, and there would never be, another like her.

He pushed his body more tightly against hers and in an effort to keep her balance, Kagome lifted one leg up and wrapped it around the taiyoukai's. This action did nothing to quell the increasing heat in Sesshomaru's loins and with a soft growl he grabbed her thigh and pulled her leg higher. His tongue filled her mouth, the kiss now raw and hungry, and his fangs scrapped along her lower lip.

Her lip was numb from the abrasion, but she was becoming lost to a potent need. Hot and aching, her body was thrumming with arousal. She groaned as his hand slid down the curve of her lower back and continued down the back of her thigh, clawed fingers raising goose bumps in their wake. She tangled her hands in his shorter hair and pushed back against him with her tongue, taking his mouth by force as if trying to devour him to satisfy her newfound hunger.

Sesshomaru was losing all control, but he was powerless to stop it. He had missed her, longed for her, mourned for her for so long that all he had really wanted was to be in her presence again. Yet when she had stood before him, beautifully alive, he had needed to kiss her, hold her. And now, with the scent of her arousal quickly filling the room, he abandoned all prior thoughts of trickery and deviousness. He wanted nothing more than to be here, with her, Inuyasha be damned.

Kagome gasped as Sesshomaru roughly pushed her back against her bedroom wall, all the while never letting her leg drop. Forcing her body flush against the wall, he pulled her leg up to wrap around his hip. Power and desire were radiating off of her in waves and he sought to draw out more. He bent his knees to surge against the heat that called to him in such a primal manner and she rolled her hips against him in return. He could scent her level of arousal as well as feel the wetness of her begin to seep through her pants and blot his jeans. Unbearably hard and beading with his own fertile liquid, Sesshomaru was near undone.

Pulling his mouth from hers he let her catch a few rasping breaths before again claiming her lips as his own. His desire for her overflowing, he slid his hands up to cup her ass and pulled her roughly upwards. She let out a gasp as he picked her up, but did not struggle. Instead she willingly wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her to her bed.

Sesshomaru set her lightly down upon the comforter and then settled himself between her legs. Placing one large hand behind her head, he supported her neck as he pulled her face to his own. His lips captured hers once again and he teasingly sucked on her lower lip. When she responded to him by wrapping her legs around his hips, he unconsciously thrust his stiff member against her heated core. Her hips rose up to meet him and he pulled his face away to let loose a deep and rumbling groan of pleasure.

Thrusting against her again, he opened his eyes only to meet his brother's shocked stare.

*************************************************************

She had asked to go, and despite what his brain was screaming at him, he had let her. She had gone through the well to her time, and he had been left alone. She had told him that she would return to him, that she only needed time alone to think. He was trying to respect her, to show her that her needs and wants were important to him, and that he would take care of her no matter what, but as soon as he had gotten back to Kaede's hut, his mind let loose a volley of worrisome thoughts.

What if, when she got to thinking about the whole thing, she decided that Sesshomaru was the better choice? The taiyoukai had shown her affection while he, Inuyasha, had not. Well, okay, so he had, but only after Sesshomaru had started his pursuit of her. What if she thought that he didn't really love her? That he only wanted her because his brother did? What if she doubted that he had ever, or would ever, get over Kikyou?

The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became.

So there he had been, standing outside the hut with a wide-eyed, fear struck look on his face when the houshi had walked out the door. Immediate concern filled Miroku's face when he saw that not only did Inuyasha appear frightened, but also that the hanyou had entirely failed to notice that someone was now watching him from only a few feet away.

Approaching his friend slowly, Miroku questioned “What is it Inuyasha?” He had expected to hear something about an approaching demon and was appropriately shocked when the hanyou began to mumble.

“What if she thinks I'm only interested because I'm jealous? What if she thinks that I don't really care? What if she chooses HIM?” Here he trailed off.

Ahhh.... so that was the problem then. Inuyasha was worried that Kagome was going to leave him for Sesshomaru. Well, there was only one thing to do. “Inuyasha, if you truly care for her and are concerned that she might not understand how you feel, why do you not go to her time and tell her?”

“What?” The hanyou seemed momentarily surprised that someone was talking to him. “Oh, Miroku. She told me not to follow, that she needed time to think” he told the houshi with a pained look.

“Inuyasha, she will no doubt be thrilled to hear a declaration of your love for her. She has obviously cared for you for a long time and to know that those feelings are returned would surely help her to come to a favorable conclusion.”

“Keh. I don't know about that houshi...” Inuyasha told him warily.

*BONK*

“Would you stop hitting me with that damned thing!” Inuyasha yelled out while tenderly rubbing the spot between his ears where the houshi's staff had just struck him.

“I will when you finally stop trying to hide your feelings about Kagome! You've been stringing her along for years, and now you're a mess because of it! Be a man Inuyasha and go tell her! If you do not, then do not be surprised if she determines that she should not return to you!” Miroku had just about had it with the hanyou's grousing, and had determined that being overly blunt would be the only way to get him to do what was necessary. Catching the blank look on Inuyasha's face he yelled again “Well? What are you waiting for, a personal invitation? Go to her!”

Inuyasha turned and sped into the forest.

*************************************************************

He had run for all he was worth and reached the well in record time. Without a single pause his feet left the ground and he vaulted over the lip of the well and into the darkness beyond, still never noticing the ever watchful golden gaze in the trees.

*************************************************************

Once he had passed through the magic and had arrived on the cold hard-packed earth of Kagome's well, he had stopped. What was he going to say? After all, she had told him in no uncertain terms not to follow her. But he couldn't leave her to her thoughts without making sure she knew how he felt. And how was he going to do that anyway? He wasn't exactly the “share your feelings” sort of guy that this situation seemed to require.

“Fuck it. Just go in there and tell her that you really care about her, no, that you LOVE her and that you have for a really long time. She'll understand why you didn't say anything before. Kagome understands you better than anyone. So, just get moving and tell her.” His little pep talk to himself completed, he jumped out of the well and walked out of the well house.

Swiftly running across the yard so that no one would catch sight of him, he jumped and landed easily on her windowsill. He had lots of practice at it, and the move was second nature. Despite all of that, he almost fell down the two stories when he looked beyond the glass and into her bedroom.

There she was, on the bed, with someone. Some other male. They were kissing passionately and the man, who was positioned between her legs was thrusting against her. Inuyasha didn't understand. Wasn't it enough that she was torn between him and Sesshomaru? Did some other guy from her time have to come and get involved too? How many fucking people was he going to have to fend off for Kami's sake?

And then the man had pulled his face from hers and let loose a throaty growl. Inuyasha realized that the sound was familiar, but couldn't put two and two together. It was too unbelievable. HE couldn't be in this time! It wasn't possible. But that growl.... it was so similar.... But no. This man had short hair and was dressed all funny. There was no way that HE would be caught dead looking like that.... like a human..... So the growl told him that the man wasn't human, but there was just no fucking way that it was...

“Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha questioned out loud as the man thrust against Kagome again and opened his honey eyes.

The two brothers only stared at each other until Inuyasha yelled out “What the fuck?”
