1Kagome sat alone at the base of a Japanese maple tree. She looked up at the night sky and watched the stars twinkle in the darkness. The breeze started to blow and it blew some of the leaves off the tree. She smiled to herself. The night was calmest, but also held it's dangers.

And now I sit here, all alone.

Kagome breathed in the smell of night, it was going to rain soon, she could smell it. It was silent and calm. She liked it best that way, She didn't really know why. It was just peaceful. She heard a twig snap behind her, she jumped up and quickly got into a fighting stance but relaxed when she saw it was Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru... what are you doing here.." she stated more than asked.

And I know I shouldn't be so hasty.

"Why my Kagome, I'm just here to enjoy the night, Are you doing the same?" she questioned her. "Yes.. I suppose" she said rather hesitantly, Sesshomaru was getting closer which made her nervous. In a millisecond he was beside her. "Where is Inuyasha?" he asked into her ear.

And I know I shouldn't worry

"I..Uh.. Suppose he's with Kikyou right now." she managed to stutter out. "Oh really? So he's probably kissing that claypot of his right now, am I correct?" she nodded. "Well then, would you mind doing the same with this Sesshomaru?" questioned. She didn't know what to say. "No.. I don't think that would be fair to Inuyasha.." she said. "But isn't what Inuyasha is doing is unfair to you?" he stated more than questioned. "I..suppose." she said. "Good." he pressed his lips on hers. She opened her mouth to give him better access and he kissed her with more passion then anyone has ever kissed her. She pulled away. "Sesshomaru.. I can't.."

And I know I shouldn't blame myself.

"It's alright Kagome, I understand, Don't blame yourself, you're just too beautiful to pass up." he said as he regained himself. He turned to walk off. "Wait.." she said. He turned around and walked up to her and gave her a hug and whispered.

"We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older you will understand.."

He let go and disappeared into the sky. Kagome looked up and whispered "I love you Sesshomaru.."

"Oi! What did you just say Kagome?" Inuyasha shouted. "No-nothing Inuyasha." she said smiling.
