You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react

They were playing a dangerous game. They were playing with fire. They were tempting fate.

She could purify him; he could kill her. One wrong move and it would all come crashing down, she would burn to the ground, and he would stand by and watch. At least that's what they told themselves.

It started out simple enough, her defending his half brother then it moved to her mouthing off to his 'cocky' attitude as she so called it.

His meetings with her group slowly changed, instead heated fights with his brother it became heated arguments with her.

"Bite me Sesshomaru!"

"Trust me Miko my bite is much worse than my bark,"

"Really would have never guessed."

"Careful I could break you."

"And I could purify you" She snapped back

"I have stopped your arrows before."

"And I have landed you before."

"Enough Miko!"

"Then stop starting it you ass!"

It was arguments much like that.

She never feared him; she should have. He never moved to put her in her place; he should have.

"Back off Sesshomaru"

"Do not take your anger out on this Sesshomaru."

"I'm not I just don't feel like dealing with either of you dogs today."

He growled, and she groaned.

"Perhaps you if you stopped pining over the half breed-

She turned and glared at him "I am no pining over him!"

"So his claim on the other is not what has caused your unbecoming mood?"

She walked away from him "What would you even know about you jerk."

Their arguments then turn darker.

"Stand down Miko"

"Like hell, I got this"

"She will take you in a blink."

"Id like to see her try" She snapped arrow pointed,

"The half breed is not around to save you."

"I don't need saving I need you to shut up!"

"You will cease," He told the demoness standing across from them,

"As you wish my Lord" She bowed and backed away.

"I had this" She relaxed her bow; she hated looking weak in front of him.

"Clearly Miko."

"I didn't need your protection."

"I do not protect you but the jewel encased in you."

She rolled her eyes "Whatever you got to tell yourself Sesshomaru."

"Why do you seek death at every turn."

"I don't."

"If I did not have control Miko you would be dead ten times over by my hands, trust me when I say your death will one day me by my hands."

"Yeah not if I kill you first."

Then one day after a year of back and forth from one thing to another the pent up thing they thought was anger showed its true form when she almost died.

"You stupid idiot!" She screamed holding her side as it bled.

"Stay your mouth" He snarled,

"Tell your bitches to get a freaking life!" She screamed.

He turned back to the female that had caused her harm "Leave" He sneered then turned back to her "I told you not to engage them Miko."

"I had her till you showed up as pompous ass!"

He walked heavy to her "Let me see."

"Go to hell!"

"Miko" He snapped,

"This is your fault!"

"I fail to see how your fight with a bitch in heat is my fault."

"Your scent is all over me from our little fights!" Of course, he had told her a million times over to submit to him, and to the females but Kagome was not the submitting kind.

"Cant you play your little heat chase came somewhere else!"

He grabbed her shirt,

"Let go!"

"Let me see."

She smacked his chest with both of her hands, her power snapping at his skin. He put them to a tree, her back against "Do not challenge me,
woman."

She tried to push but then something snapped, and she gasped, and her arms end up around his neck, she went on her tips toes and her cheek rest against his "Sesshomaru."

She panicked, all braveness gone.

His hand made contact with the now very open wound as her blood rushed out.

"You fool" He looked down to see her blood cover his hand,

Her cheek slowly started to slide against his till she slightly parted from him "Why do you" She hissed in pain "Have to be such a jerk."

"I told you to stop calling me that"

She was feeling faint, and she looked at him, her lips so close to his "Make me."

Everything in his being that rejected his father and brother for their weakness in humans flew right out the window, at that moment it was like it never even existed.

His mouth devoured hers.

One hand on her wound and one hand embedded into the tree behind her, her blood was stirring his beast and if he didn't gain control and soon she would no longer be pure.

Kagome's heartbeat quickened, and the blood rushed, and her pink lips fell from his. He caught her body in his arms and picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the village.

Inuyasha cursed him like a dog. Miroku got on to him for being careless. Sango threatens to kill the females that caused it. But his eyes were on her blood, and his mind was on her lips.

She had kissed him back.
