This will be more based on Sesshomaru point of view but contains hints of Kagome/Sesshomaru

He watched as she collapsed. Rushing to her, he lifted her into his arms. "Kagome…" She looked at him in apology. "I'm sorry."

"Be careful. The hanyou would be upset if you had damaged yourself permanently."

"I know. Thank you Sesshomaru. Can you put me back in my wheel chair for now?"

Kagome had been attempting to teach herself how to walk for her graduation.

Sesshomaru watched as she worked out. The wheelchair remained close by just in case. Inuyasha never came to watch her work out. To make sure she didn't overdue it. Only he ever came. Multiple times he had asked for her to be his but first their had been Hojo. Then Kouga. After him had been Naraku, who in the end had put her in the wheelchair. Then it had been Inuyasha. And yet, he was the one that never wavered.

Later that night, he found himself unable to sleep. Inuyasha had his other girlfriend staying over and they were… getting busy. Leaving the house, he took off in his car. After a while, he found himself in front of Kagome's house. Deciding to get out, he walked up the stairs. He found her outside under Goshinboku. "Kagome…"

Her tortured gaze found his and he lifted her into his arms. So many times he had held her like this but never more. She knew Inuyasha had been cheating on her but she never said a thing about it.

Rain began to fall, covering the two in its thick blanket. "Let me stay Kagome. Please, let me love you. You deserve so much more."

Kagome reached up, pulling him down for a kiss. He took her upstairs. He worshipped her, giving her whatever she needed. They did nothing more than touch but that it seemed was enough. He wanted her to know she deserved to be loved.

He stared out at the school. Graduation was coming closer and closer. A sudden knock on his window had him looking. A small smile appeared. It was Kagome. Opening the door, he looked at her with warm eyes. Besides Rin, she was the only one to see this side of him. "You ready?"

He nodded. When Kagome didn't move towards the door, he saw her looking off to the side blushing and looking nervous. "Kagome?"

"About the other night…We shouldn't…"

His heart dropped a little. She was going to say it should have never happened. "Kagome?"

She straightened. "We shouldn't tell anyone… I just want to say… Thank you…" The soft brilliant smile directed at him practically took his breath away. He nodded, holding her hand gently.

He could hear yelling and tears. It was Kagome. Looking across the lunch room, he saw Kagome yelling at Inuyasha. It seemed she had told him that she knew he was cheating on her. Rising, he waved Naraku and Bankotsu off. He would be the one to take care of it. Naraku knew not to go near her. He'd been completely plastered the night of the accident. Kagome had forgiven him and to a point he had as well but he had made sure Naraku knew not to get within 10 feet of her.

Moving closer, he watched Kikyo come up. He caught the tail end. "Why would anyone want to be with a cripple like you." He moved forward but Kagome stopped him. She struggled to her feet and slapped Kikyo. She then turned on Inuyasha, giving him a withering glare. Sesshomaru saw her begin to collapse and he darted forward, catching her.

After placing her back in her chair, he took her to his table, giving Naraku a warning glare. "Kagome?" She appeared to be pale and she was shaking. "Sesshomaru, please get me out of here." He immediately grabbed their stuff and took her outside. As they reached an isolated place, her sobs became noticeable and her tears flowed freely. Pulling her out of the wheelchair, he curled up around her and let her cry.

He found himself back at her house that night again. It was raining again. He settled under the tree, waiting for her. He didn't want to rush her but now he had a chance to be with her for good. He knew that she was the one for him. There would be no other. She would be his eternal.

Glancing up to her window, the light was off. After waiting an hour with her never coming out, he rose and walked away. He never saw her looking out her window at him as he left.

Kagome hadn't come to school in almost two months. He'd gone to all the spots she would hide out in but he never seemed to find her in any of them. He knew she was still enrolled because the school had her school work delivered to her home and her mother brought it back in. Graduation was going to happen in a few weeks.

His mind kept fleeing back to their memories together. He was used to being ignored. Whenever she had a boyfriend, she wouldn't pay him any mind besides a passing hello. And then she would fall right back to him as soon as they betrayed, hurt or their relationship began to deteriorate. She always came back to him. He was her one constant. He knew it wasn't fair for him but she had prompted him to get a girlfriend. He had tried with Kagura but it just wasn't the same as when he was with her.

A flash of metal had him turning. His eyes instantly warmed and he practically almost jogged to her. "Kagome, you're back."

He watched her give him a soft smile. "Of course I am. I wasn't going to let you graduate by yourself let alone go to the party alone." Sesshomaru allowed a small smile to appear.

Graduation arrived and everything went off without a hitch. Kagome remained close to him throughout her last few weeks. The school had thankfully allowed her to walk with Sesshomaru for Graduation. Kagome seemed different. He wasn't sure what had happened but she seemed distracted. He hoped that she hadn't found anyone.

As they were getting ready to leave for the party, Inuyasha appeared. "Kagome, can I talk to you a sec?"

Kagome nodded, glancing back at Sesshomaru. "Wait for me?"

He nodded. He felt himself ashamed to admit but he wound up evesdropping.

"I'm sorry about what happened. I should have treated you better."

"It's okay Inuyasha, I forgive you."

"Do you think maybe in time we could…."

"No Inuyasha."

"Why not?"

He saw the glowing smile that appeared. "I found my forever Inuyasha. No one else will ever be able to measure up to him. He's my everything."

Sesshomaru's heart fell and he moved away. He didn't hear the rest. "You mean Sesshomaru?"

"Yes. I don't know why I didn't realize it until now."

"If that is what you want, you best tell him. It seems someone was evesdropping."

"Thank you Inuyasha. Good luck."

"You too."

When they reached the party, Kagome made him wait. "I want to talk to you about something."

"I know. I won't stand in your way. If you are happy, then I am happy."

"No, you don't understand."

"I do understand. Let's just enjoy tonight."

He helped her out of the car and into her wheelchair. She huffed. When they got inside, Kagura and Sango appeared. They immediately took her off. Sesshomaru found himself wandering through the crowd.

He heard the silent gasp as the shock silenced the rather large room. He frowned, trying to figure out what was going on. Suddenly the crowd parted and his eyes landed on an angel. It was Kagome in a little black dress and heels. Kagura and Sango were nearby her. The thing that stunned him the most was that she was walking.

As she reached him, he saw her wobble and pulled her to him, unable to speak from the surprise. "Now that I've stunned into silence, if you are going to evesdrop, listen to the whole conversation."

She leaned forward, kissing him. He responded almost instantly. The hoots and whistle finally caused them to pull apart. He lifted her in his arms, walking to where they could be in private. Once they were settled, he focused on her. "Explain."

Kagome smiled at him. "You are my forever Sesshomaru. It was you all along but I was too blind."

He closed his eyes as relief washed through him. "Sesshomaru?" He could hear the waver in her voice. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the box.

"I have two things to say. One, if you plan on making a scene by walking that far by yourself again, I will never forgive you if I'm not there." He heard her chuckle.

"And the second?"

He pulled the box into view, opening it. "Marry me."

He saw the tears but didn't have time to wonder as she pulled him in for a deep kiss. Once they separated, he smirked. "I'll take that as a yes then."

"Of course, I made you wait long enough."
