After being in the feudal era for so long she had the habit of waking up around 9 when the sun is at its brightest. She tried getting up but something was keeping her down. She looked at her waist and saw an arm securely around it. She looked closer and saw very familiar stripes. She looked up and saw Sesshomaru still asleep with his other arm covering his eyes.

'What the hell happened last night?' She thought trying to explain how they go in this situation.

*Flashback*

"If it is okay with you, this Sesshomaru wishes to court you"

"That depends" she whispered with some amusement "do you have any ex lovers I should worry about"

"I do not"

"Then I accept your courtship"

She let a moan escape her lips as the kiss became hot and intense. They subconsciously made their way to bed as he walked between her legs. The same legs that he prayed would some day be wrapped around him as he loved her every night.

She fell onto the bed with him on top of her. When his mind finally processed what position they were in he regrettably pulled away.

"May I sleep in the same bed as you" he asked softly still hovering over her as he kissed her neck.

"I promise we will not do anything more" he said softly.

"Okay" she whispered a little hazy at what she just agreed to. He got up and took off his haori and under shirt so now he was left in just pants. Kagome blushed crimson at the sight of his body. She'll be lying if she denied the fact of being curious of how his body looked. She turned her head as soon as she found out she was practically drooling over him.

Sesshomaru knew she was staring and found it amusing and adorable the way she blushed. He walked over and got in bed next to her.

"Good night" she squeaked once she felt him come closer. He could tell she was still pure and never bedded a man or Inuyasha which made him happy knowing that he would be her first and last.

He sent a smirk her way as he made her face him. He kissed her lips softly and passionately "Good night" he whispered pulling away from her lips. He wrapped both arms around her possessively pulling her close.

"Good night" she sighed contently laying her head on his chest.

*End Flashback*

She was shook out of her thoughts when she felt lips on her own.

"Good morning" he said softly pulling away from her lips. He could never figure her out, which was one of the many things that made her interesting. She is one of the most powerful mikos he's ever known and a great warrior yet she's easily embarrassed when a man shows his interest in her.

'She has not been properly loved' he thought as he thought of different brutal was of torturing his brother to the deepest depths of hell.

"Kagome" he said softly. She 'eeped' when he picked her up and put her on his lap. He held her around her waist and laid his chin on her head.

"You have nothing to be embarrassed or shy about when you are with this Sesshomaru, Kagome" he said softly "I know the whelp has not shown you the care and love you deserve but I am very different. I will treat you the way you are meant to be treated" he spoke softly. He instantly smelt tears and became alarmed.

"Thank you" he heard her whisper hiding her eyes beneath her bangs "thank you for this. I've never really knew what it felt liked to be cared for like this but I promise I will try my best to let you in"

He made her look at her "that is all I ask" he kissed her lips once more before pulling away. He got dressed and they left the hut together. Shippo just finished making breakfast for him and Rin. Sango and Miroku were next door on their porch talking and Kilala and Kohaku were sparring.

"Kagome" she really did not want anyone to spoil her mood.

"Kagome can we please talk about this" Inuyasha persisted. He knows how he feels for Kikiyuo and how he feels for Kagome. The feelings for Kagome were way more stronger and so much more real then he had for Kikiyuo.

Kagome knew he was hard headed and persistent. He would keep bugging her till she agreed and she was not looking forward to the hassle.

"What more is there to say Inuyasha" she spoke soft but cold not wanting to cause a scene "You made a promise and just like always you broke that promise. I am not that stupid gullible lovey dovey 15 year old girl from 4 years ago. I am stronger and wiser and will not stand for being made a fool of any longer. I will no longer follow behind you in hopes that you pick me nor will I burden myself with wondering if you are with her when you are not with me. You have made your choice very clear and so have I"

Sesshomaru couldn't be more proud of his miko then he was right now. She finally stood up to Inuyasha and let him have what he deserved. The fool had no control over her heart any longer. He cannot harm her any further then he already has and now that she his free of the fool Sesshomaru will not let any one even attempt to hurt his Kagome.

He watched his half brother in hate and jealousy as he left with only woman that truly loved him. Inuyasha knew the two were close and didn't like it. He was no fool. He knew of the feelings Sesshomaru had for Kagome. It was obvious to him because when Kagome was near his eyes would soften and his tone gentler. Anyone else wouldn't give it a second thought. They would just call him crazy and that he was seeing things, but it disgusted him how much he knew his brother. With all the battles and confrontations he's had with him over the years it became a little easier to read him. And what he saw he was not pleased with.

Sesshomaru was in love with Kagome.

He said something that made everyone stop what they were doing.

"I killed Kikiyuo"
