*disclaimer: still dont own Inuyasha...but I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING HOLY I WILL HAVE SESSHOMARU!!*

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Kagome walked away from the dojo, leaving the two gaurdians to whatever they might do. For the millionth time, she found her thoughts going to Sesshomaru. 'He wants to see me...I wonder what for.' Kagome thought, dragging her tired body to the hot springs, not bothering to grab extra clothes.
Kagome quickly peeled off her training out-fit and slipped into the hot water. 'Ahh, that feels good after such a long day.' Kagome breifly wondered what Shippo and the others were doing, and if they were worried about her.
'Inuyasha....Miroku.....Sango....Shippo....I hope you all are ok.' Kagome thought, then quickly washed up. Sesshomaru still wanted to talk to her.
Kagome quickly returned to her room and threw on some clothes. She found a servent and ask where Sesshomaru was.
"In his room, Mi'lady." the servent replied, smiling then continueing on down the hall. Kagome walked to his study, finding the oak door shut. She approached the door and took a deep breath. 'Well, here we go.' Kagome thought before rising her fist to knock.
"Come in." Sesshomaru said from the other side just as her knuckles were about to hit the door. She froze at hearing his voice, but then quickly opened the door. The room was scarcly lit, only a couple of lights flickering here and there. Sesshomaru sat at his desk, folding a peice of paper. He quickly slipped it into his sleeve, then indicated she should sit.
Kagome nervously sat across from him, scenes from last night flashing through her mind.
Sesshomaru watched her fidget in her seat, knowing it was because of last night. 'Damn. I should've been able to stay in control.' Sesshomaru thought darkly. He remembered what Kari had said. He would have to explain this to Kagome or she would blame herself. 'Serves the wench right for making me angry.' he thought, before taking a deep breath.
"Sesshomaru, when is it that I am allowed to leave?" Kagome surprised him by asking. He stared at her as she looked at the floor. 'Does she want to leave?' he thought briefly. Nervousness rolled off of her in waves.
"When do you wish to leave?" he answered flatly, feeling some what saddened. 'The sooner she leaves, the better.' he told himself, but he wasn't sure he believed it.
"Well, its just....last night...you said that I could stay....with Rin....I was wondering....if that offer still stood." she stated, wringing her hands in her lap, expecting a sharp 'No!'.
Sesshomaru stared at the miko in front of him. 'Did she just ask to stay?' "The offer does still stand." He heard himself say. Kagome looked up at him and smiled a small smile.
"Thank you, Sesshomaru. In that case, I would like to stay." she mumbled, finding his desk suddenly interesting. She found herself thinking of the kiss again. 'Why did he kiss me?' she thought for the hundreth time. Again, she found only silence.
"Is something wrong?" Sesshomaru asked, noticing her slight frown.
"Well...I....I was wondering why.....you....."she blushed, "...last night..."
Realization dawned on him. "Do not think anything of it. It was an accident. I had no desire to kiss you." He replied even though he knew it was a lie. She obviously didn't.
"What?" she asked, jerking her head to look up at him.
"You are a human. Why would a Youkai Lord such as myself willingly kiss a mere human?" Sesshomaru stated indignatly.
Kagome scowled, fuming with rage. "Why...you...pompous....ignorant....JERK!" Kagome growled, seeing him frown at her.
"You will not speak to me like that." Sesshomaru warned.
"Then have some decency to speak to me respectivly." Kagome snapped.
"Humans do not deserve respect." Sesshomaru stated simply, watching in amazement as Kagome stood, hands clentched in fists at her side.
"I swear, you don't have one good, respectable bone in your body. You're such an ASS!" Kagome stormed, then turned, planning on leave him there. However, when she turned, she ran right into Sesshomaru.
"I told you, you will not speak to me like that." he growled, clentching his own hands in fists to keep from hitting her.
Kagome threw her hands up in exsasperation. "I give up." she grumbled, speaking to herself. "What's the point in trying to talk to an unemotional ASS. He wouldn't know what feelings were if they slapped him in the face." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"I am warning...." he began, but was cut off.
"A decent Lord we be a little more respectful to his GUESTS. But I guess I'm expecting too much from the ICE PRINCE." Kagome interrupted him. Sesshomaru's eyes darkened. No one had ever interrupted him before. Here was this, human, who continued to insult his honor. WHILE HE WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE.
He was about to hit her when a different impulse hit him. He smirked, knowing this would get her to be quiet. He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. Still ranting, he pressed his lips to hers. Her words died instantly. Her lips felt soft against his. He was about to pull away when to his surprise, she responded to his kiss. He felt her arms wrap slowly around his neck, slightly pulling her closer to his lips.
Kagome didn't know what to think. One minute she was angry at the Youkai in front of her, the next, she was kissing him back. His lips felt good against hers. She thought she heard a deep growling in his chest, like he was purring! 'I can't believe....' Her thoughts were lost when she felt one of his hands rest on her hip, pulling her closer, while the other grasped her other hip.
Sesshomaru was about to deepen the kiss when he heard someone clear their throat. Sesshomaru and Kagome jumped apart. Kagome's face turned bright red from embarassment while Sesshomaru's remained emotionless. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Reshki stood in the door way, a huge smile spread across his handsome face.
"What do you want, Reshki?" Sesshomaru asked, silently angry the kiss had ended.
"There has been a reply to your letter." Reshki answered, pulling the letter from out of behind his back.
Sesshomaru walked foreward and took it, seeing it was from Lord Derenti. "Escort Kagome to her room." Sesshomaru stated, immediatly taking a seat and opening the letter. Kagome looked from a preoccupied Sesshomaru to a highly entertained Reshki.
"Come, Kagome." Reshki smiled even wider at her embarassment. He indicated she should go first. She quickly stepped past him, walking quickly. Reshki easily kept pace with her.
They walked away until Reshki knew that his Lord coudn't hear him, he commented, "I see that you and my Lord have....gotten to know eachother better?" Kagome's face darkened.
"Well...uh....you see....umm...." she was at a loss as to what to say to the panther Youkai.
"This is your room." he interrupted her useless banter, indicating her door. Kagome quickly opened and shut her door, hearing Reshki laugh all the way down the hall. Kagome had her back to the door, relieved, when she heard a slight sniffle in her room. Looking about the dark room, she saw a lump sitting on the balcony. Realizing it was Kari, she walked outside.
"Kari?" Kagome whispered, approaching the form hunched over on the balcony rail.
"Y-yes, Kagome? Can I do something for you?" Kari asked, praying her voice wouldn't crack. She quickly dried her tears before Kagome could see them. 'Damn it, I forgot this room wasn't empty any more.' Kari thought, flinching slightly when she felt Kagome place a hand on her shoulder.
"Kari, is something wrong?" Kagome questioned softly, leaning against the railing to get a better look at the demoness in the moonlight. Kari's green eyes were misted over with unshed tears, her cheeks wet from previous crying. Kagome wondered what could make the warrior cry.
"I am fine, Kagome." Kari whispered, hunching over even more.
"No you're not, Kari. I can see that plain enough." Kagome stated.
Kari looked at Kagome, giving her a grief striken look. "It's about Reshki."
