Chapter 2
Rin quickly attached herself to Sesshoumaru's leg as he and Kagome landed. Kagome didn't know him well enough to see the softening of his eyes, but when he pated Rin's head and left his hand there as he walked, she could tell that he cared for the small girl. He took them into the castle and showed Kagome a beautiful room. "This room will be yours." When a group of servants came he introduced them. "This is Lady Kagome. You will treat her as the mistress of this castle." With that he walked off with Rin in tow.
Kagome and the Servents just stared at each other for a moment. Then they all bowed asking if she needed anything. She denied them several times, telling them to call her just Kagome and saying she needed nothing, until a demon with sky blue hair and curling patterns all over her face spoke up. "Surely you want a bath, Lady Kagome! Traveling would make anyone weary." Kagome stared for a moment. "Now that I think about it, I could use a bath." And as soon as the words were out of her mouth she was swept away. They took her to the back of the room, out a door, and into a room with an in-ground pool. Candles were lit while she looked around. The water was so clean and clear, she could see the floor at the other side. There was a wall to the left that ended a half-foot above the water, she later found out that it was there because her and Sesshoumaru's rooms were right beside hers and he had introduced her as "mistress". Kagome took her shower and went back into her room feeling more refreshed than she had in a long time. MaybeSesshoumaru was right, she thought as she drifted off to sleep,I don't need to wallow in my sorrow any longer.
After 3 weeks there the servants still wouldn't call her just Kagome. Sesshoumaru had taken to teaching her how to fight in his spare time. For a girl who was never all that athletic, she was doing pretty good and learned quickly. She had the feeling that he wad trying to distract her, though, and for that she was very grateful. She didn't want to think about her problems, this place was too beautiful and peaceful for that. At one point Sesshoumaru had even asked how she ended up alone. She couldn't say anything, and he didn't pressure her.
One day as they sparred together she couldn't help but think about it. There was only silence between them and she didn't know what to do. He took her down easily. Literally. He tackled her, winding up on top of her in a compromising position. In the middle of the courtyard. In plain view. Compromising position. He suddenly took her mind off all the stares and whispers. "You seem distracted today, miko." yes, he was still calling her miko, despite all her protests. "I.... He left." she replied, knowing he would understand. Still she had to say it, or she'd never heal. "He took his stupid dead miko and left! He didn't even take the jewel! He.... he doesn't need me anymore... I have no worth to him anymore. And I couldn't stay with Miroku and Sango any more. I know they were just worried, but I couldn't stand the whispered conversations and the sneaky concerned looks! I couldn't take shippou with me either. I couldn't provide for him!" by that time she was crying hard, barely able to speak. "I.. I... I miss them so much!" After that she just cried, so he pulled her into his arms and sat under a tree with her in his lap. He stroked her hair, whispering soft words of endearment to her as she clung to him. Eventually she calmed herself. He took her face in his hands and kissed away the last of her tears. (He kissed her eyelids) "If you want to see your friends again then become stronger and forget about him" Already he'd grasped the fact that His name was taboo. "and when you are ready we will find your friends." He promised her this even though he knew he would loath the day when he let her go.
She then smiled at him so brightly he could've said she was the sun... or perhaps the full moon. He couldn't help himself. For the first time in a very long time, Sesshoumaru lost control, and kissed her. At first it was so soft it could barely be felt but then she whimpered and he was lost. His arms tightened around her and her hands tangled in his silk tresses. He tasted her, asking for entrance and quickly receiving it, each whimper and moan goading him on. Finally he knew her human lungs needed air, and they parted. She stared at him and then began to stutter, blushing furiously. "Um..... uh... well... I..." with that final statement, if it could be called that, she jumped up, out of his arms, and ran to her room.
Kagome quickly removed her clothes and climbed into the bath. She sat there blushing and contemplating that moment. Finally all she could do was except it. Smiling softly she thought, Maybe I can forget Inuyasha. She suffered the small pang in her heart, then went back to more pleasant thoughts like exactly how someone like Sesshoumaru could be so gentle.
Sesshoumaru stared after her with a smirk that almost split his face. He'd lost control for a split second, but he had to admit, she tasted absolutely... delicious. Then he noticed all the men smirking at him and all the women giggling. Sesshoumaru did the unthinkable... he blushed.
