After getting pointed in the direction of the nearest hot spring, after a couple sittings for persuasion, Kagome made her way through the dense Western forest with her trusty backpack in tow. Walking slowly to enjoy the beauty she could only find in the feudal era. Plus she was in no hurry to get back to Inuyasha with his constantly sour mood.

Probably hasn't gotten laid lately.

The thought of Inuyasha and Kikyo having sex sent a wave of nausea over her. A gagging noise escaped before she could smother the image.

If I'm ready to puke imagining it how does Inuyasha do it?

I mean oversensitive canine senses…just yuck I need to quit thinking.

Soon a billowing cloud of steam greeted her. Ensconced among the cloud was the wonderful stress reliever known as a hot spring.

Since Kagome had fallen into Feudal Japan the warm fountain was what kept her sane, other than her wonderful friend of course.

Eagerly Kagome striped herself of the dangerously short school uniform and hurriedly made a break for the water.

A contented sigh and the sound of water droplets was all that could be heard.

Sinking deeper in the hot water to help erase the tension in her shoulders known as Inuyasha.

Yes she named her sore muscles. Neck soreness? Miroku, that damn pervert. The various other sore areas- Inuyasha.

During 'Relaxation time' a rustle from the bushes caught Kagome's attention.

'That stupid monk, how did he get passed Sango?'

With irritation Kagome lifted herself from the watery haven. She grabbed her fluffy white towel and wrapped it around herself.

'Hmm since when has my towel been this soft or fluffy?'

A gentle squeeze mildly concerned her.

'Did my towel just?…oh crap.'

Frozen in fear she debated on whether or not to turn around. She managed to glance down to confirm her suspicion. Yep it looked identical to Sesshomaru's tail thingy.

'Please oh please tell me someone is playing a sick joke' she mentally begged.

Glancing over her should there stood the Lord of the West.

Kagome did the only thing her body would allow her, she fainted.

Coming back from darkness she couldn't recall what had ensued.

"What the hell happened?" the temporarily displaced miko grumbled.

"You fainted, miko" a deep velvety voice replied.

Kagome's whole body ceased up, knowing the owner of that sinful voice. Belatedly she realized that she had in fact used the Western Lord as a towel. Her heart beat wildly in her chest as if trying to escape, her palms were clammy, and she felt ill. Panic mode had hit her full force.

Before she could utter a word he asked "Miko, what is smexy?"

All rational thoughts fled poor Kagome leaving her temporarily brain dead.

Not getting the response he had set out to receive he began to become impatient.

"Miko?"

No reply.

A small frown formed on his sculpted face. He really didn't want to resort to this next word, knowing it would raise more questions than answers.

An inaudible sigh passed his lips.

"Kagome?"

Faintly in chaos that was Kagome's brain she heard someone say her name, the workers in her head finally hit the reboot button.

"Huh" came her unintelligent reply. But he better give her credit for any sort of response; she wasn't even at the login screen yet.

Sesshomaru hated a few things, Inuyasha, Jaken, puppies, but the one thing he really hated was repeating himself. But being a dog demon the curiosity was too strong for his hate list.

"What is smexy and how does it pertain to this Sesshomaru?" he asked nettled.

"I-uh…well it's like…umm…"

'Should I tell him the truth? The worst he can do is kill me'

"It means you're very attractive Sesshomaru…sama", she added the honorifics for good measure.

'She thinks this Sesshomaru is attractive?' his beast purred at the thought.

Kagome feared the worst, she really did, she stood with her eyes clamped tight awaiting the punishment that was sure to befall her. She never expected for him to do what he did.

Sesshomaru pulled the miko closer to his body, with the help of his mokomoko. He was a ghost's breath away from those luscious pink lips that had been torturing his dreams. His lips slowly descended to her soft ones in a chaste kiss.

For a second Kagome thought that it was a dream and she would wake up, then he'd cut off her head.

As if reading her mind "This is no dream Kagome"

A brief pause and some consideration on his part.

"This Sesshomaru find you, {he tested the word}, smexy as well" a perfect smirk appeared on his gorgeous face.

Kagome could not form a coherent thought after his announcement. After a few moments to gather her thoughts she came to one conclusion, she was taking full advantage of this situation dream or not.

Tilting her head she realized that to kiss him again would be like climbing a sky scraper. Damn he was tall. She tried going on her tippy toes, that didn't work. She tried to, subtly, pull him down. Nope. Her last resorts were to either climb him or ask for another kiss. Dilemma time.

Sesshomaru watched, with a little amount of humor, as the Miko became conflicted. Smirking he figured it'd be better to help her out than embarrass her.

This time the kiss was passionate, unlike the first kiss as where that one was sweet and simple. This kiss was full of want and need. His tongue had long ago gained entrance to her hot cavern, their appendages fighting for dominance.

In Kagome's mind this was a dream no matter what Taiyoukai told her and she was going to do whatever she wanted. As the kissing progressed Kagome was starting to become aware that this was indeed not a dream and she was in all actuality making out with the demon lord. A thought hit her like a ton of bricks; she quickly broke the kiss much to his displeasure.

Never being one to dance around the subject Kagome asked, a tad annoyed, "Did you read my diary?"

A single delicate digit poking in his chest for added emphasis.
