Chapter 1: Oh Sesshoumaru, for the love of…Kagome?

Kagome woke finding herself in a warm bed. She must have returned home. But then she noticed she was not clothed, and was held by strong, loving arms. She saw the white hair draped over his shoulders. It must be InuYasha. What did we do? "Did we make love?" She then noticed she had said it allowed.

"Yes" Answered a low voice.

"InuYasha. I don't remember doing this with you…I mean just yesterday we were…"

The arms hugged her closer to his naked body. She felt safe and loved.

" You don't have to worry about Inu Yasha anymore." The man said.

"What?!" InuYasha what are you saying?!"

" It's alright my love, we destroyed him, remember? He won't hurt you anymore."

What was this?! What was the man saying. Kagome tried to look around, but the man held her securely in a loving embrase.

"InuYasha!" This had to be InuYasha, in some sort of sick joke. "SIT boy!" She screamed They were lying down so she didn't know what good it would do, but it was worth try. Slowly the man lowered himself to be level with her face. She gasped at whom she saw.

" I know how much you cared for my brother. I don't expect you to forget him in such a short time, but remember what he did to you!"

The man was Seshoumaru. He held her face in his hand and kisses her lips. Kagome began to cry. What was he going to do, was he going to kill her? What had happened to InuYasha and how did she get here with Sesshoumaru.

" Sesshoumaru! How could you kill InuYasha?!" Kagome screamed.

Sesshoumaru's eyes suddenly were full of pain. He looked at Kagome as though she had just put a sword through him.

" Yes, We did kill InuYasha, but you know it was for the best."

"We?" Kagome asked. She would never kill InuYasha. Would she?

" He hurt you Kagome! He betrayed you for Kikyo and then used you as his human shield! How could I let him do that?! Tell me! How could I let him hurt you like he did? Don't you remember how he beat you?!" Sesshoumaru was yelling now.

" InuYasha would never hurt me! NEVER!" Kagome was in tears. "And you never loved me before now! You used to try to kill me!"

"It was INUYASHA I tried to kill. Never you! I've alwayzed loved you, Kagome, but I couldn't do anything because InuYasha would only grow more powerful in jealousy and my chances of getting the jewel would have been lost."

The Jewel! So did this mean that Sesshoumaru now had the jewel?

" Where is the jewel Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked.

"I put it away, it is safe now." Sesshoumaru said softly. "Kagome, would you love me again?"

What was he talking about? Kagome was totally confused. Her head was spinning; she pressed it into Sesshoumaru's chest.

"Who are you?" Kagome cried.

"Must I remind you Kagome." He said kindly. "I lived a life of pain before you. All my actions were based on my own selfish desires. All the people I've killed lived, and still live, inside me, crying at my conscience. Crying at me! I tried to block them out with killing more, but they just grew. They tortured my soul, you see. I had to find something to block them out with; I had to find something to concentrate on. The Tensuaiga. But then there's you Kagome."

Kagome's eyes swelled once more with tears. He gone through so much and loved her like no other. He seemed to love her even more than InuYasha ever had. How could she leave a man so…desperate as this?

She pressed her body closer to his.

"Let me love you Kagome." He said as he kissed her head. He positioned himself over her. Kagome knew what he wanted to do. She didn't want to do this with him! She didn't even know him. Could she make love to the man that killed InuYasha?
