Lotsa fluff, Tell me whatcha think.

Chapter three: Training on hold

"Kagome, how do you expect to find them? I do not believe it very wise to rush head on into this situation."

"I want my pup back and I will get him back." She growled back at me.

"As do I Kagome but I do know that they will not be killed so long as they are of use to him. We should complete a little more of your swordsmanship training before we rush into this. I do not want to have to protect the three of you. I want you fighting by my side."

"Whatever you think is best Sesshou. I just want them back." She said in utter defeat. Her whole stance read defeated.

"We have not lost so do not lose hope."

"I will never lose hope with you on my side." She said as she broke out into tears.

To tell you the honest truth, I was faced with a dilemma. One side of it: Kagome trusts me WAY to much, and the other side of it: What do I do to comfort a human?

I decided to walk over to her and hold her until she stopped crying. I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her hair. She wrapped her arms around me tightly, if I were human it would be cutting of my blood circulation. I began to growl in a relaxing tone without even realizing it. I thought it odd when I caught it because I had heard the same growl when Inuyashas mother was upset and father was trying to calm her down. Slowly her sobs receded and she began relaxing into my touch. She was finally calm but she did not withdraw like I expected her to, instead she leaned more into me, if that were possible.

"Kagome?" I questioned gently.

"Mmm?" She responded drowsily.

"We still need to eat."

"Duwanna" Was her muffled response.

"What was that?" I teased. (Ok, I don't really believe that he hides his emotions, more like he controls them to do what he wants, not what they want)

"I said I don't want to eat. I just want to stand here in your arms for a while."

I sighed mentally and picked her up.

"If your not going to eat at least let's go watch the sunset."

"Fine by me but you don't have to carry me."

I walked into the garden and set her on a bench underneath a sakura tree. She had a deathgrip on my shirt so she left me no choice but to sit right next to her. She then wrapped her arm around my waist. I sighed and put my arm around her shoulder and looked out across the horizon. By the time the sun had set, Kagome had fallen asleep on my chest. "Kagome, what am I going to do with you?" I thought aloud as I picked her up and carried her to her room. "Your touch up training is tomorrow I guess" I said as I turned to walk away. I didn't get very far. My tail had unwrapped its self and rewrapped itself around her waist. 'Bloody thing. It has a mind of its own that's for sure.' (Sesshous tail is part of his true form so it knows only his instincts. His instincts tell him that he wants her even if his other form denies it) I thought as I tried calling it back. It didn't work. I gave in and crawled up behind her on the bed. She subconciously realized I was there and slung her leg and arm over me as she rolled over. (He doesn't keep his armor on in the palace he has guards to defend him there) 'Great. I just hope she doesn't yell at me for something she did in the first place.' Was his final thought before falling asleep with his body wrapped around hers.

Kagome's POV

'Fuffly' was the only thought that crossed my mind in my half-awake state as I buried my hand into whatever it was and petted it. A broken rumble came from...my pillow? My eyes shot open and sure enough my 'pillow' was growling/rumbling.

'What the hell?'

I shook my head and tried to get out of his grasp but he had a fairly good hold on me, even in his sleep. He decided that he rather liked me that close to him and pulled me back to where I was.

"Sesshou?" I whispered gently, trying not to startle him.

"Mmm?"

"Will you please let me go? You are trapping me in place."

"Hmm...No. I rather like you right where you are because this is your next lesson. You must know how to get away from your captor."

"Fine. Any restrictions?"

"No powers. Rely on your own physical strength and mind."

"Anything other than that?"

"No. Now try to escape."

'This will be fun. I'll try slipping out of his grip before trying my other idea.' I tried slipping out of his arms and it didn't work at all. 'Damn he's got me pretty tight. Plan B.' I smirked against his neck and began to lick his neck. I noticed his grip loosening after he realized I was doing that so I took my chance and slipped right out of his grip before flopping back on top of him, pinning his arms between us.

"Did I pass?"

"That was deceptive of you. But yes, that's one way to get out of that."

"Good." I said as I got up off of him. "Now can we go eat? I didn't eat yesterday remember?"

"Yes. Let's go." He said as he stood up and held out his elbow to me. I took it and we began walking toward the dining room.

*Dining room*

"Hey Sesshou..."

"Yes?"

"When can we go after them?"

"Tonight at midnight. He will be less guarded then."

"Deal. So we train in the morning and rest until midnight?"

"That's the plan."

"Good because I wanted to look at the miko spell books in the library. I want to learn the healing spell before we go into this."

"You sure you can learn it in that short of a time?"

"What? You think I can't? Remember, I'm a fast learner."

"True. Just don't try anything without me watching, ok?"

"Done." She said as she walked in the complete opposite direction of the library.

"Hey Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"Wrong way."

That's the end of Chapter Three. Any good? Anyway, thanks to my reviewers and I'm sorry I took forever with this chapter.
