InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Lives Turned Upside Down ❯ The Gift of the Heart ( Chapter 17 )

"Well..." Sesshomaru paused not sure if he should tell the truth, it might just get him into more trouble. Kagome's face turning sad she said "Please Sesshomaru, no more lies, I just want to hear the truth." Frowning himself at her face he decided he would do just that, he didn't want to hurt her anymore.

"Yes, it was me who gave you the dog and this gift" he said pointing to the up until now forgotten present. "Why?" Kagome questioned him, confusion written clearly across her face.

Scratching his head dumbly Kagome couldn't help but notice how he started to fidget reminding her of a little boy who was caught doing something embarassing. Fighting back a smile she let him talk.

"This is gonna sound stupid but well I thought that since you wouldn't really talk or listen to me, let alone forgive me, that if I remained anonymous that maybe you would fall in love with me again so I would get another chance." Closing his eyes he braced himself, waiting to be rejected again and told to leave.

But nothing came so he breathed a sigh of relief and as he slowly opened his eyes he saw Kagome standing there watching him with a slight smile on her face. Taking this as a good sign he said "Kagome could you hand me that box that I left on your doorstep?"

"Sure" Kagome replied putting the box in his hands. Getting down on one knee Kagome gasped as thoughts ran rampant through her head. What is he doing? He's not going to propose to me is he? Oh my gosh, what would I say if he did?

"Kagome" Sesshomaru started "I know that I haven't been as good to you as I should have been. I never should have lied to you and I'm hoping that once and for all that you will be able to forgive me." Opening the box Kagome saw a beautiful blue sapphire with different color sapphires on either side of it. Watching Kagome's eyes widen in admiration of the gorgeous ring he continued.

"Now, this isn't an engagement ring but more of a promise ring. This is a promise to you that my heart is yours and will be yours for as long as you let it be. So Kagome will you forgive me and be mine?" Sesshomaru asked and Kagome watched as his gaze faltered nervously waiting for her reply.

"Uh..." Kagome stuttered but was interrupted as she heard Fluffy barking as he approached the two of them with his tongue hanging out his mouth. Running up to them Fluffy continued happily barking as he jumped up at Sesshomaru licking him on the face.

Kagome smiled and laughed at Fluffy and how uncomfortable Sesshomaru seemed at receiving the affection from the dog. Still holding the box in his one hand he used the other to pat Fluffy on the head letting his eyes take on a tender appearance.

"Wow Sesshomaru, Fluffy seems to really like you. He's never taken to anyone like that except for me so that must mean something." Kagome said aloud although she was mostly contemplating that this must be a sign to forgive him. Just watching how cute he was with the dog she couldn't help but feel her walls break down that she had built to protect herself.

Cutting into her thoughts she heard Sesshomaru ask "Fluffy?" with a small smirk on his face. Grinning back at him she replied "Yes Fluffy. I think it's a cute name, I mean afterall he is Fluffy isn't he?" "Yes I suppose he is."

They stood there for a minute just looking at each other, lost in their own world it seemed until Fluffy yipped at them seeming to snap them out of their daze. Both chuckled somewhat cautiously and Kagome came to her final decision at that moment.

Taking his hand in hers she looked up at him with a big smile on her face saying "Yes Sesshomaru I will be yours on one condition of course, no more lies." "Of course Kagome, never again. Only the truth for you, I promise" he said relieved that he finally had her back.

Wrapping his arms around her he pulled her against him just enjoying the feel of her body against his. Sighing contentedly Kagome rested her head on his shoulder and she felt so comfortable in Sesshomaru's arms she never wanted to leave.

Looking up she saw how his eyes shined with love for her and she knew that she could never be with anyone else. Sesshomaru bent his face down slowly bringing his lips to hers and their lips met after what seemed ages since it had last happened.

Starting out soft and gentle he brushed his lips against her leaving a slight peck on her lips before pulling away. Smiling up at him she reached up to deepen the kiss, this one much more passionate and loving, using the kiss to express all the built-up feelings they had for one another.

"Sesshomaru" Kagome whispered as they pulled away. Leaning against him for support because the kiss had left her weak in the knees she felt her heart heal. "Kagome" Sesshomaru softly replied "I love you." And those words never sounded so good to Kagome in her life as she really smiled for the first time since he'd broken her heart.

"I love you too" she said and hugged him tightly, running her hands through his hair, she always did love his hair. Pulling away from her completely he took the ring out of the box and slid it on her finger, kissing her hand as he let her hand slip out of his grip. Grinning Kagome lifted her hand up moving her hand back and forth, watching the gems sparkle in the sun.

Sesshomaru was delighted that she liked the ring so much and couldn't be any happier with how everything was going. She had finally forgiven him and now that he had her he felt whole again. Yes, life was good.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru noticing how he seemed to be lost in thought and smiled. She walked up to him and saw that he still was in another world so deciding to bring him back into this world she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling his face down for a kiss.

Taking the initiative she nibbled on his bottom lip forcing a groan out of Sesshomaru as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him. Letting her tongue enter his mouth she fought with his tongue moaning at the feeling.

Feeling the blood rush to his lower regions he grunted as Kagome accidently brushed against his growing erection. As things got to be very heated Fluffy didn't like to be ignored and made it obvious as he yapped at their feet.

Giggling as she pulled away Kagome bent down to rub Fluffy's ears which then stopped his yapping as he turned over on his back which Kagome then scratched his tummy. Sesshomaru growled, he did not like being interrupted. Kagome heard this and stood up.

"Oh, does my Sesshomaru feel neglected?" she asked him, her eyes laughing. "No, it's just that it seems that you like the dog better than me" Sesshomaru whined. "Poor Sesshy, don't worry. Here do you want me to rub your tummy too?" "No" Sesshomaru pouted. Ignoring his comment she reached her hand out to him, lightly rubbing her hand across his stomach running it down to his crotch, feeling his arousal.

Sesshomaru hissed in pleasure closing his eyes. Leaning up towards him she huskily whispered in his ear "Is that better my little puppy?" And then she trailed her tongue down his ear rendering his speech useless.

Finally regaining control of his voice he looked down at her smirking "So I'm your puppy, eh?" he asked. "Yes you are." "Well this puppy wants a little more than a belly rub, do you think we could take this up to your room?" he said with his best puppy dog face impersonation.

"Now who could say no to that face?" she asked and laughed as he picked her up racing into the house. He'd waited to long to have her again and he was gonna make this last as long as he could.

Notes: Alrighty guys. That's the end of that chapter. If anyone has any suggestions of where this story should go feel free cuz I'm starting to get low on ideas, I mean I'll always come up with something it just might not be as exciting and interesting as everyone would hope.
