Chapter three

Forgiveness

"Are we there yet? We have been walking for hours" Shippo whined

"Shippou, you have not been walking at all" I said laughing

"Well my butt hurts and it is almost sun down'' he said still whining

Sesshomaru was walking in front of us. I knew he was deep in thought but I just wish I knew what.

I wonder if he is upset with me, or wishes to send me back, or something else… Why am I so worried about what he thinks of me? Could it be…NO

"KAGOME WATHC OUT" I heard Shippou scream and pull me out of my thoughts.

As I did I saw a tree falling my way and I didn't have time to react to it other then pulling Shippou off my shoulder and getting him out of danger. All I remember is feeling some ones hand around my waist and then everything went black.

I woke up by a fire and shippou sleeping. Sesshomaru was looking at me as I sat up.

"Are you ok?" He asked

"Yes I'm fine"

"Good! Well I suggest you stop your silly little daydreams because that is what almost got you killed. It was not wise and VERY foolish." His words had sharp points to them and it felt like every one of them was poking me.

"But I can't blame you. You are just a foolish human! You don't know any better!" That set me off

"A FOOLISH HUMAN? HOW DARE YOU DOG" He looked at me shocked

"Mind you-"

"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO… YOU…YOU FOOLISH MUTT! THIS FOOLISH HUMAN SAVED YOUR LIFE AND YOU TELL ME I DON'T KNOW BETTER! I KNEW TO SAVE YOUR LIFE." I was beyond pissed. And I wasn't even near finished, but before I could say anything else I

Felt a hand around my neck and my back slammed into the trunk of a tree.

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO THE GREAT DEMON OF THE WEST THAT WAY? YOU ARE JUST A MEAR HUMAN THAT I WISH TO STILL BE LIVING! DO THINK I HAVE ONLY SAVED YOUR LIFE TWICE? THINK OF ALL THE TIMES I FOUGHT MY BROTHER AND YOU WERE AND EASY TARGET. I THOUGHT OF KILLING YOU MANY TIMES BUT DID I? NO! I WAS MERCIFUL! DO NOT TEST ME AGAIN HUMAN!" And with that he put me down, and I started to cry.

"I hate you" I whispered. He stopped and turned to me

"Then why didn't you let me die?" he asked staring at me

I looked up and looked him in the eyes

"Because I thought you were different but I was wrong! I thought of you as Sesshomaru a great lord that was misunderstood and had a heart. But you aren't…you are Lord Sesshomaru the demon lord that is cold and heartless!" The lord looked truly hurt by what I said but at that moment I didn't care. I stood up and started to walk into the forest.

"Where are you going?" The lord asked me

"I'm going for a walk my lord I will return. You have the word of a foolish human" and with that I walked into the forest.

I was lucky that the moon was bright so I could find my way. I heard moving water near by so I fallowed my ears. I came to a hot spring. I knew that it would help me relax so I striped down and got in. I let all my troubles float away.

~ With Sesshomaru~

She really stood up to me. I can't believe that. And she said that I didn't have a heart! That was not true I know I have a heart even she said she knew… But now she is out there all alone in the woods with out even her bow to protect her.

Why am I so worried about her? Why am I so hurt by her words? I can't believe I made her cry. I have to go find her and prove to her that I'm not heartless.

~ Back with Kagome~

I can't believe how relaxed I was. And how I didn't feel bad for saying those things to the lord. I went under the water and when I came back up I felt some ones presence that was very noticeable.

"Kagome" a deem males voice said. I know it was Sesshomaru's

"What do you want my lord" I said starting to stress out. I was truly scared of him.

"I wanted to talk to you about what just happened." I spun around to look at him luckily my breast were under the water so I didn't expose my bare body to him.

"I understand my lord I was foolish to speak harshly to you" I felt that if I said anything that he didn't like that he would strike me.

"I am sorry that I raised my voice to you lord" he was looking at me shocked by my responses.

Before I could say anything else he was in the spring with me with his hands on the side of my face. I didn't know what was going to happen.

"I'm so sorry Kagome" he said looking me in the eyes and the unexpected happened… he kissed me with more passion then I have ever felt before. At first I didn't know how to react but then I felt my hands rap around his neck and pull him closer. His hands fell to me waist and wrapped themselves around me. We were locked in a kiss full of passion and I didn't understand why. I had to pull away for air

"My lord" I said gasping for air.

"Kagome will you please…please forgive me? I didn't mean for you to fear me. I couldn't stand the fear you had in your eyes when you looked at me. And when you said you hated me… that made my heart-"He was struggling with the word and there was something in him that I saw for the first time that made me have chills. He cared for me…Not as he cared for Rin but as a man who cared for a woman.

"Sesshomaru" I whispered and then I did something that I would never thought I could or would do. I put hand on his face and rubbed his cheek and then I kissed him.

He welcomed it I think but then he stopped me.

"Tell me is this how you feel? You are not just doing this to please me?"

I looked up at him and smiled.

"My lord if I didn't share the same feelings then I wouldn't of let you be in a hot spring with me fully nude very long" He smiled at me and ignoring the fact that I was nude he pulled me into another kiss.

So there it was i hope you liked it! PLEASE review
