Kagome grabbed Sesshoumaru just as the boulder was about to come crashing down on him. They had both tumbled down through the hidden shaft in the mountain face. As the colossal stone successfully locked the two in the confined area, Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome with a non-evident look of acknowledgement, not only for the determined demeanor she had set, but also for the strength she had to use to be able to pull him, a fully grown daiyokai, out of harms way. This girl sure was a strange one.

Kagome stood on the far side of the crevasse, which was only about twenty feet from the side of the wall where Sesshoumaru sat, and caught her breath. Running from a giant boulder was nothing easy, and then pulling that huge hunk of dog demon meat out of the way was no simple task either. Sesshoumaru on the other hand watched the young miko with a curious interest. He was perplexed to be put simply. Why had she pulled him out of the way? Weren't they enemies? Didn't she and his idiot half-brother's pack want him dead? Why?

"Why?" Sesshoumaru stated blandly. He watched as Kagome jumped a bit in surprise. Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru with a confused look on her face.

"What, you, say?" Kagome was still a bit out of breath and couldn't complete the sentence. Sesshoumaru fought the urge to roll his eyes, being regal in all. Instead he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I do not like to repeat myself, human." Sesshoumaru gracefully strode to where Kagome was standing, pinned her against the wall, his arm blocking her head from turning away, and leaned down towards Kagome's ear. The sensation of Sesshoumaru's breath on her ear caused Kagome to shiver ever so slightly. Sesshoumaru smirked at knowing that he had this effect on her. He leaned a little closer and Kagome shuddered a bit more, making Sesshoumaru smirk wider.

"I asked you why, Miko." Kagome stood stiff as Sesshoumaru's velvety voice entranced her. The sight of this woman completely immobile by just hearing his voice had Sesshoumaru amused. He chuckled almost darkly as he lifted his self from the young girl, no woman. Said woman flushed as she tried to find the words that had escaped her mind.

"Well. . . Um, I guess it was just impulse?" Kagome stuttered turning more shades of red than one can count. Sesshoumaru visibly smirked and leaned his body against Kagome's, watching as the miko became more uncomfortable with every movement. The only thing that Kagome could do was try to hide her embarrassment by staring at the floor and Sesshoumaru would have none of that. He took Kagome's chin and lifted her to face him. Kagome tried to look away and Sesshoumaru became annoyed. He jerked her head a bit, causing her cerulean eyes to lock with his ember orbs. Kagome almost melted like butter in Sesshoumaru's grip.

"Impulse?" Sesshoumaru asked tilting his head ever so slightly to the side. (Sooo Cute!!!) He didn't fully understand what all she meant.

"Y-yeah, impulse, kinda like instinct. . . In a way. I, um just sorta have this thing. . ." Kagome trailed off as Sesshoumaru started kissing and nipping at the side of her neck, stopping at her pressure point to suckle gently there. Kagome was shocked to say the least.

"S-s-Sesshoumaru. . ." Kagome tried to ask what he was doing, but that question soon turned into a throaty moan as Sesshoumaru moved up to nip at her earlobe, taking it between his teeth. Sesshoumaru smirked at Kagome's reaction. He answered her unasked question with ease, his deep voice penetrated the muted world around them.

"What's wrong Miko?" He teased as Kagome twisted and writhed under his touch. He continued. "This Sesshoumaru 'impulse' simply wanted to show his gratitude for your assistance." He then dipped to capture her lips with his. Both felt a jolt go through them as their tongues battled relentlessly. They fought for dominance, each exploring the others mouths, memorizing every detail. Kagome wasn't complaining, if this was the way Sesshoumaru was going to show his thanks, then who was she to stop him. She brought her leg up and hooked it around his upper leg, pulling Sesshoumaru even closer, if that was possible. Hell, not even Inuyasha gave thought to thanking her for anything she'd done for him, not like this.

It was then that Sesshoumaru started to suck on her tongue causing her to tilt her head back, giving Sesshoumaru more access to her moist cavern. Kagome couldn't help the moan nor Sesshoumaru the possessive growl that escaped their mouths. They pulled away for breath, Kagome's forehead resting on Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Sesshoumaru went back to nipping at Kagome's neck. She breathed heavily and turned her head towards Sesshoumaru's. She absently grabbed a lock of his silver tresses and twirled it between her fingers,

"Ya know," Kagome started after a while, "I should start saving you more often." She giggled as Sesshoumaru nipped a little harder than before. He then pulled back and looked at Kagome with an amused expression.

"And what makes you think that This Sesshoumaru will be in need or want of your assistance again, Nigin? My faults are few and far between." Kagome puffed up with anger and was about to yell, but then she pouted pitifully bringing Sesshoumaru's attention back to her swollen lips.

"Awww," Kagome whined, taking her other leg, successfully hooking them around Sesshoumaru's waist. With no legs to support her weight, Kagome pressed against the wall of the cave "but I really wanted another kiss." Sesshoumaru chuckled darkly as he pressed his middle against hers, grinding slowly as he spoke. Kagome moaned at the feelings Sesshoumaru was eliciting from her.

"Now, now Miko, don't fret. There will be plenty more where that came from once we escape this place." Kagome whimpered at the loss of friction as Sesshoumaru set her back on her feet. He made his way to the boulder that blocked their path, reared back, and punched it. To say that it broke instantly would be an understatement. Kagome stood agape as the cave shook with the force of the blast. Sesshoumaru flipped his hair and looked over his shoulder. The sight of Kagome weak kneed at this display of power had him smirking wide.

"Miko, no need to stare, and . . . you're drooling." Kagome snapped out of her trance and rolled her eyes. She whipped her mouth and yelled.

"OH, WOULD YOU AND YOUR PERFECT ASS JUST SHUT UP AND GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE!"

"Hm, my ass is quite perfect isn't it? Hm, indeed."

"DAMNIT! JUST TAKE ME HOME!!" Kagome stomped her foot. Sesshoumaru was instantly in front of her standing in all his glory, beams of light making his hair shine.

"Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint, my dear Miko, butyou aren't going home any time soon." Kagome instantly went pale and backed up. One thing was on her mind.

"Ohhh shit."
