(Kagomes POV)
I was sitting in my room, watching it rain while I tried to do my homework, but I couldn't concentrate. I sighed and left the desk, noticing my new photo album.
I opened it up at a random picture, and smile. It was a picture of Sesshomaru, kissing in the rain. I thought about that day. I remembered it like it was yesterday, but it was 7 months ago.
(Flashback)
I had just gotten back from my era. I pulled out my bag, having gifts for everyone. I remember giving Sango a beautiful Kimono, Miroku got a special pack of suturas that work (unlike my grandfathers), and I gave Shippo a camera. He was confused at first, but when I showed him how to work it he got excited.
Inuyasha was growling when he jumped from the tree he was sitting in, talking about needing to find the jewel shards and getting on with the trip before it starts to rain. I sat him then started walking off, the others glanced between me and my hanyou friend.
Yes. Friend. I had decided long ago to give up on a future with him. Especially if I am just going to be second best with him. My thoughts turned to my new crush, a male I knew would never love me back, but I can't help but love him.
Sesshomaru.
I smiled just thinking about the gorgeous daiyoukai. Inuyasha looked up, sensing the same person nearby as I had, but I no longer cared.
He ran off to see Kikyou.
"We can make camp here guys. I'll be back in a little while." I told them. They all nodded, deciding not to question me as I picked up my bow and arrows and went in the opposite direction as Inuyasha.
I found my crush sitting with his back against a tree. He looked up when he saw me.
"Miko."
"Hello, Sesshomaru-sama." I replied, a slight blush on my cheeks. He motioned me to him. I walked silently, wondering what he wanted. He surprised me with a kiss. I was shocked for a moment, but kissed him back once my mind woke up.
He pulled me closer, and held me in his arms. I snuggled into his embrace. He nuzzled my cheek after a few minutes.
"You need to go back to your group." He whispered, sounding like he didn't want to let me go.
"I'll see you soon. Sesshomaru-sama."
"This Sesshomaru does not want to hear an honorific come from your lips Kagome." He told me.
"Ok Sesshomaru." I replied softly. He kissed me again and sent me off.
Inuyasha was back by the time I returned. He took one sniff in my direction and he went crazy. He yelled at me, about kissing Sesshomaru, when I knew what he did with Kikyou.
I didn't need to have a youkais sense of smell to know he had sex with the clay pot. I yelled at him about it and he called me a worthless whore. I sat him several times before running off in tears.
It started to rain as I ran, but I didn't care. I suddenly sensed Sesshomarus' aura, and before I could take a calming breath he had me in his arms, holding me close and comforting me. He led my to a tree to keep a little dry.
He sat down with one leg up and the other straight out., he pulled me close and held me. Once I calmed down he asked for me to travel with him. I said yes. He kissed me, his lips warm and gentle on mine.
I didn't even see the flash as Shippo took our picture. If Sesshomaru had, he did not react.
(End Flashback)
That is how Shippo and I began traveling with the daiyoukai. We still visit Sango and Miroku when our paths cross, but I haven't talked much to Inuyasha. Though I guess I should thank him for being so hurtful that day, because if he hadn't said what he did I would not be wondering Japan with my soon-to-be-mate.
I've never been happier in my life.
