Note: Sorry for the inconvenience but my muse suddenly came back and I decided to *DUM DUM DUM DUUUUM!!!!!* …add a plot!! *GASP* so they're gonna be interrupted AGAIN! The poor kids. And to clear up any confusion…anything Sesshou feels for Kagome right now is purely sexual. RIGHT now…. and now on to the story!

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

The girl gave a sharp gasp as she tripped and almost fell. She couldn't stop. She had to keep going or he was going to catch her. He was toying with her and she knew it. He could have easily pounced her by now but he was enjoying the chase. She tried as much as she could not to be scared. He would smell it…hell he had smelled it. That's why he was chasing her now.

It didn't help that she didn't know where she was going. The mansion twisted and turned in long labyrinths of halls not seeming to lead anywhere. "Damnit, he's toying with me." She sighed and halted her running. No more fun for him.

"Very astute of you." Came a cool voice. She turned to her stalker but she was immediately pushed down to the ground. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact of her head hitting the cold hard floor but it never came. Instead her head rested on someone's hand. She opened her eyes to glare up at the youkai now leaning over her with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Is that your favorite phrase or something?" She spat angrily. The amusement in his eyes danced more. He really thought she was entertaining.

"One of many." He replied with a smooth, emotionless voice. If his eyes weren't dancing with the amusement and that hint of something else you would have thought he was bored.

"What's the other one?" She continued, trying to calm down. "Let me guess, 'Die, Inuyasha." He quirked a brow at her.

"Ah, yes that would be one as well." Kagome stared at him in disbelief. Before she could think of a decent comeback he continued. "Why did you run from me?" She opened her mouth to respond then quickly closed it.

He had just wanted to talk but she didn't. After getting Rin to settle down and go back to sleep, she made a b-line to her room, trying to avoid Sesshoumaru. She didn't want to think about what had happened in the hot spring. Just thinking about it now made her blush.

"I was tired. I didn't want to talk." His brow quirked at her again.

"So tired that you decided to run…from me? You gave me quite a chase." He leaned closer to her, taking in her scent and letting his silky white hair fall over her shoulders to mingle with her raven black hair on the ground. "You do not seem very tired." He brushed his lips against her cheek and smiled as she blushed more.

'No she isn't tired. Yet…' He thought, his smile widening slightly. If she could see the way he was smiling she might have screamed. There was definitely that look of mischief and an aura that said he was thinking baaaaaad things.

"I'm exhausted actually." Again she was reduced to a breathy voice. Heat was rising through her body and she could feel Sesshoumaru's heat climbing, even through their clothes. Kagome wished she had made it to her room to put more clothes on but no. He had to chase her.

Her thoughts stopped abruptly when she felt his lips brush her collarbone. 'When did he move?' Kagome gasped when his tongue shot out and flicked across her skin. She tried to shove him away, pushing at his shoulders and she was rewarded by a low growl and his body pressed closer. Crap!

"Sesshoumaru, stop!" His tongue flicked over her skin again as he moved the flimsy fabric with his chin to go down further. His other hand moved down her side and searched for the opening to her robe. "Stop." She hissed suddenly when she felt his hand find the inside of her robe. His hand paused but playfully caressed her leg.

"Why?" Again there was the playful edge to his voice. The great demon lord…nothing but a playful pup at heart.

"We're in the middle of a fricken hall!" She almost shouted in exasperation. She felt his lips curl into a smile against her collarbone.

"Would you prefer somewhere more…private?" He whispered the last word against her skin and reveled in the way her body shivered at his insinuation. Without waiting for a reply he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She eeped.

"What the…WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" He headed toward the wing that held their bedrooms and idly wondered which one he should go to.

"Taking you somewhere more private. Isn't that what you wanted?" She blushed furiously.

"Let me go, Sesshoumaru! This isn't funny!" She struggled against his grip but what could she accomplish against the youkai lord? He was ten times stronger than her.

He finally reached their destination and threw the struggling girl on the bed, which immediately shot up to a sitting position and glared at the man. Before she could blink she was back against the bed with him hovering over her, his hand trailing over her cheek.

"Sesshoumaru…this isn't funny." She wanted to move to push him away to pull him closer, anything…but her arms weren't working.

"Who said it was?" The question was more rhetorical than an actual question. She opened her mouth to speak again but his lips crushed against hers almost painfully. His hand went back for the opening of her robe then trailed his hand up her thigh, deepening the kiss when she gasped at his touches. This kiss was more demanding than the last one and Kagome found herself surprised by the intensity of it.

Before she could think she was returning the kiss, her arms finally working and wrapping around him. Sesshoumaru smiled against her mouth, loving the effect he had on her. He pulled back eliciting a whimper from the girl. Her hand brushed behind his ear causing him to shiver. She blinked as she watched as he closed his eyes and his body ripple with the shiver, then smiled. She brushed her fingertips behind his ear again and suppressed a giggle as he shivered again and started to purr. He moved his head closer to her hand as a silent request to continue.

She suddenly stopped causing him to open his eyes. Her eyes shone with mischief. He moved closer to kiss her again but she turned away. His heart sunk momentarily then he realized she didn't turn away from him because she didn't want to kiss him. Kagome gave a dainty yawn and stretched out a bit then turned back to Sesshoumaru who was watching her with his quirked eyebrow.

"Tired already?" He asked quietly as he started kissing her neck. "I haven't even started." She rolled her eyes at him and pushed at him. He finally let her move him and was pleasantly surprised when he found himself on his back and her hovering over him. He gave one of his rare smiles.

"You, Sesshoumaru-sama, Lord of the Western Lands have been taken over by me, Kagome-sama, miko of…" She squinted momentarily. "…the hanyou Inuyasha's village-forest…whatever. What do you have to say?" She grinned down at the great youkai lord. "Answer me and I, Kagome-sama, might spare your life."

She was mocking him. The silly miko had the audacity to mock him…and he loved it. He scoffed at the girl over him. "You have no power over me." Again his voice was neutral and his face his normal schooled blankness.

"Oh?" She asked raising her brows. She casually looked down at his chest where the fabric had moved to reveal the sculpted beauty. Tracing her fingertips over the warm skin she grinned at him. "Shall we test that theory?" She asked as she trailed her fingers down to the sash of the robe and slowly untied it pushing it away, her eyes never leaving his. She leaned over his chest, still holding his gaze, and flicked her tongue over a stomach muscle.

Sesshoumaru wasn't sure if he should be frightened or excited by the look in her eyes. Her deep brown eyes sparkled with mischief and determination. He forced himself to keep his eyes on hers as she lowered her head to his stomach but his eyes threatened to close when her warm tongue flicked over his skin like liquid fire. His breath came out in a shaky 'whoosh' when her robe brushed against her exposed arousal.

Kagome took that as a sign that she was doing something right and kissed down his stomach, resting a hand on his upper thigh. Her heart was pounding against her chest. She couldn't believe how bold she was being but of course, after what she did in the hot spring, kissing his stomach was nothing. Ok, well, not 'nothing' but it sure as hell wasn't…well there's no polite way to say what it was she did in the hot spring.

She was surprised by the determination she was showing along with the bold, fearlessness. Just a few minutes ago she was running from him, embarrassed. Then she was angry with him and scared at the thought of…doing anything remotely like this with him and now…here she was. He mouth placing butterfly kisses down his waist, getting dangerously close to his obvious arousal. She smiled against his base when he took a sharp breath and his hips pushed up slightly. She watched his eyes flutter closed when she brushed her lips lightly over his length.

Sesshoumaru's eyes shot open when she moved away and started moving toward the edge of the bed. He sat up and his hand shot out to grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going?" His voice was low and held the beginnings of anger. Kagome's mind was screaming 'DANGER DANGER!' but her body was acting on it's own accord. She smirked at the exposed man.

"I've proved my point." She stated very 'matter of fact'ly. She started moving again all the while warning lights were going off in her head.

He growled, low and dangerous. "You are not leaving." Again Kagome's body ignored her warnings. She smiled innocently at the angry youkai.

"Oh? But I had every intention of leaving." She leaned closer to him. "Besides you have no power over me. I've proved my point. Now if you'll excuse me-" Kagome tried not to gasp as she was pushed down to the bed for the third time and smiled at the youkai lord.

"Shall we test that theory?" He said low and dangerous. His voice held no teasing, no playfulness that Kagome had earlier. Finally the warnings were reaching her body and her eyes widened. Oh shit. She finally thought. I'm in for it now…

She gasped when Sesshoumaru kissed her breast then took her nipple in his mouth, rolling his tongue over it slowly. Content with her response he moved to her other one, teasing it the same. He bit lightly on the soft flesh, careful not to hurt her. Her back arched against her will as he kissed between her breasts then down her stomach. Her eyes met his when he got as low as he could go and her breath caught.

All the determination she had earlier was now in his eyes. He had no intention of stopping. He wanted to taste her, to see if she was as sweet as she smelled.

He moved his mouth between her legs eliciting a gasp from her. Her hips bucked up as his tongue moved across the sensitive skin, then thrust inside. She cried out as he moved his tongue in and out slowly then sped up the pace. Again, she whimpered when he moved away and hovered over her face. He kissed her passionately again, slow and sweet then pulled back.

In a low, smooth voice he said, "It seems we are even." Kagome huffed in annoyance then realized that only proved his point. She opened her mouth to shoot back a snide remark but was interrupted by a female voice muffled by the door.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kagome froze. She'd been here for two days and she never saw anyone other than Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and Rin.

"What?" He growled in response and felt his lips twitch when the girl jumped under him. Kagome wasn't the only one who noticed his annoyance as the voice behind the door answered quickly.

"Ano, your brother is at the gate calling for someone named Kagome." Kagome shot up almost pushing Sesshoumaru away.

"Inuyasha's here?!" She yelled suddenly, earning a growl from the youkai lord as a pang of jealously coursed through him. Kagome blushed slightly and looked down at her lap.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" The voice asked hesitantly. She apparently thought he was alone.

"Leave." He growled again. Kagome looked up suddenly, catching his golden eyes and frowned. She started crawling toward the edge of the bed in a huff but was pulled back by the taiyoukai. He pulled her into his lap, his lips twitching again. "Not you." She blushed. She really had thought he told her to leave but he was talking to the now absent voice.

"Actually I want you to stay here. I will take care of this." He carefully sat her down on the bed and started climbing off. Kagome's hand shot out, grabbing his arm.

"I'm coming." She said quickly, trying to convince him with the look in her eyes but he shook his head.

"No. Stay." With that last thought he pushed her down against the bed hard enough to leave her stunned while he sped off. She shot up again and scrambled off the bed, pulling the robe closed. 'The robe…oh Gods! I can't go out there like this!' She bounded down the hall and to her room grabbing the first kimono she could find and hastily put it on.

As she made her way through the castle she had the misfortune of running into Jaken. She grabbed the toad youkai by his throat and brought him up to her eye level. "Where are the gates? Where are Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha?" The toad squawked at her, covering his ears as she yelled in his face.

"Sesshoumaru-sama told me to keep you from-"

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" Again the toad squawked.

"Follow the end of the hall…" She dropped him and started off as he continued. "Take a left and follow that until the end andtakeanotherleftandtherearethedoors!" The last part came out rushed as she got farther away.

Kagome ran as fast as she could until she reached some rather large and somewhat intimidating doors. She pushed one as hard as she could, opening it enough to slip through. She could hear them now and Inuyasha didn't sound happy. She ran toward his voice. When she saw him in her line of sight she ran faster trying to get to him but arms wrapped around her waist.

"Inuyasha!" She cried half happily, half pleadingly. Something was off though. Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippou…where were they? It was just Inuyasha. She twisted in Sesshoumaru's arms, trying to get free but he was unyielding.

Inuyasha straightened from his fighting stance to his trademark posture. "Kagome, come on! Everyone's waiting for us!" She turned to the taiyoukai holding her.

"Sesshoumaru let me go." His arm hesitated around her waist then it slipped away. Inuyasha took this as a cue and ran off into the nearby woods leaving the two together.

"Something is off." Sesshoumaru stated in his usual cool voice. He glanced down at the miko who was looking at him strangely. "What?"

"I have to go with him." Her voice sounded strange to her. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed slightly. Again the pang of jealousy coursed through him, this time stronger. He could feel his anger clashing and miggling with the jealousy causing a deadly combination.

"Then go wench." He almost regretted the way she flinched at the hate in his voice. She took a step closer and reached a hand out to touch his face but he caught it an inch away from touching. "I did not give you permission to touch me." He stated, his voice cold enough to freeze everything in the immediate vicinity.

She found her anger responding too. "We touched a lot more than this." She blushed at the memory but held onto her anger. "You kissed me." Her voice wavered slightly in embarrassment but her eyes were almost pleading with him to remember.

"I meant nothing by it. Besides, Inuyasha has claimed you as his bitch." The last word came out heated and angry making Kagome flinch again.

"I am no one's bitch. Not Inuyasha's and sure as HELL not yours!" Her voice was raised higher than she intended but she didn't care anymore. "Ask me to stay Sesshoumaru," She bit out angrily. "and I will but not for Rin." He blinked down at her.

"No." He stated simply. "You mean nothing to me if you do not stay for Rin." This time Kagome didn't flinch. She fought the tears that were now streaming down her face but they wouldn't stop. "Go." He said suddenly, a little louder than he intended but she hesitated. "Go back to your hanyou, bitch." He couldn't stand her crying it made his heart twist in painful ways. "GO!" He roared suddenly and for the last time Kagome jumped, gave him one last look and ran off with an audible cry leaving the taiyoukai to his annoying twisting heart.

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome ran into the forest then stopped when she was far enough away and sobbed quietly, sinking to her knees and pressing her forehead against the warm earth. 'When did I care if he wanted me or not? Why would I expect him to say anything more? He did exactly what he usually does and what happened between us was nothing to him but…why is it something to me?' She gave another soft sob.

"Kagome." A light voice, almost inaudible called out to her breaking her from her sobs. She looked around the forest for signs of…well anything. Where had Inuyasha gone? Why hadn't he come for her?

"Inuyasha?" She asked. When no reply came she started to get nervous. Something was off. "Inuyasha?" She called out again.

When the voice finally answered Kagome jumped. "Guess again." She gasped when she finally placed the voice. He most despised enemy.
