She rolled languidly in bed. Stretching out her sleep stiffened muscles. Her blood red silk and lace nightie she was wearing had ridden up, and the matching underwear had given her a wedgie. The man to her left slumbered obliviously. She quickly righted her night clothes, and contemplated this man. She didn't love him, not really. He didn't love her either. She knew that when he'd approached with his proposition. No, her heart would always belong to another.
She was daydreaming. The past encompassed her in the warmth of memories from times long past. Kagome smiled remembering the man who had been the boy that stole her heart.
InuYasha, now that was a name history had long ago forgotten. Demons, oni, and kappa were all fairytales told to scare children now. She was there by his side as they all began to fade into the mist of myth and legend. She smiled again. Her wedding day. Over five hundred years ago now. It was all very traditional, except the bride and groom. A miko and hanyou tying the knot had the whole island of Japan in shock.
Sesshomaru stirred, breaking Kagome's trip into memory lane. "It's early." He said. She jumped. She hadn't expected him to speak. He hardly ever did.
"Got a little uncomfortable." She answered. He turned to face her. He leaned up over her.
"So get comfortable." He said eyeing her like a steak. She gulped. He was full of surprises. They were friends with benefits she supposed.
"You don't mind me wearing baggy t-shirts and flannel pants?" She asked. He smirked.
"I must admit I'll miss your current attire. It emphasizes certain ASS-sets." He said. She started chuckling.
"I'm sorry. I just never thought the great Lord Sesshomaru would be a horn dog." She said. He smirked.
"Things change with time. Now go put on your worn out choice of pajamas. I'm going back to sleep." He said before kissing her forehead and lying back down. Kagome smiled down at this once cold killing machine. She could love him, someday.
