One kiss. That's all it took for her to want to drop to her knees and shout out her love for him. One kiss. That's all it took to drive her insane and make her body scream.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome gasped as she gripped his shoulders traced along his markings with her index finger. She stared in his eyes and felt feelings that she had never experienced before. She felt free, she actually felt loved, like she didn't have to compete with anybody else because she knew and how he felt and he felt that way only about her.
Kagome loosened her grips on his shoulders and tried to push herself away. 'I shouldn't be here with him. I'm supposed to be in love… in love with Inuyasha. But… why does this feel so right?'
Let me take you back to how this entire thing all began. How Kagome ended up in the arms of Sesshomaru and felt a love that was so overwhelming and powerful that she didn't know what to do.
5 years ago:
It was Kagome and Inuyasha's wedding day. A day that Kagome had always dreamt about. As she sat in the room and waited for her que to come outside, her insides were in total agony.
"I don't know if I can do this Sango," Kagome exclaimed, "It just doesn't feel right. I know he still thinks about her even though she is gone. I don't think I should go through with this."
Sango looked at Kagome with sympathetic eyes and hugged her best friend, "You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. If you need more time, then do exactly that. Don't make the same mistake that I did." Sango looked down at her own left ring finger that was bare. She just got divorced not too long ago from Miroku who was Inuyasha's best man. He just couldn't stop with his perverted ways and Sango had got fed up and left him… for good.
…
"I do," Inuyasha replied.
"Kagome, do you take Inuyasha to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part?"
All Kagome could think about was the conversation that she had with Sango earlier in the day. She thought about her options and looked at Inuyasha smiling and looking at her with expectant eyes, his palms sweating as he waited for her to say those 2 words.
She looked out into the pews and saw everyone's eyes on her, them too waiting for her to say those words. Her mother sat on the first row, wiping tears from her eyes and smiling from ear to ear with her brother right next to her flashing a thumbs up sign. She looked to the other side and watched Sesshomaru check his watch and roll his eyes as if he wished the proceedings would be order and as if he was dying of boredom from the ceremony. She glanced at Sango whose eyes she felt staring at the back of her head. She knew what Sango wanted her to say. She knew that Sango knew exactly how she felt.
'I'm sorry Sango,' Kagome thought. Not only was she disappointing Sango but she was disappointing herself with her decision.
"I do," Kagome whispered as she looked Inuyasha in the eyes with a new determination. A determination that was making the best decision and that she could make it work and be everything and more that Inuyasha needed and she needed in her life.
The crowd erupted into applause as Inuyasha swept Kagome into his arms and kissed her sweetly. A single tear trickled down her cheek and she didn't know whether it was from happiness or sadness.
