Kagome smiled as she got up and opened the hole in the wall where she hid her stash. She open the cabinet and pulled out a half gallon bottle of Jack. As soon as she set it on the table he opened it and began to chug. She reached into one of the cabinets above the bar and pulled out two shot glasses. She set them on the table as Sesshomaru put the bottle back on the table.

"If you are going to drink my stash, you have to share."

Sesshomaru grinned mischievously as he poured her a shot.

"As long as you share, I will share."

She smiled as she grabbed a bottle of José and Jim. She wasn't one to share her friends but she could tell he needed it.

"So you want to tell me what's going on with you?"

He watched her as she sat back down at the table. She drank both shots after she set the bottles on the table.

"Did Sango ever tell you anything about demons?"

"She has told me a few things but I drink too much to remember."

"Then it's time for a little lesson about demons."

She leaned forward and rested her chin in her right hand.

"You see Kagome, all demons go through a heat cycle. But it differs from demon to demon. How long it lasts, when it starts, and so on. And every demon does his or her own thing. I choose to hide and drink. Mine shouldn't start till next month. But you, are fertile. And it's driving my beast insane. In fact it's taking every ounce of strength I have to stay on this side of the table."

Kagome leaned back in her chair.

"You don't have to be here. Sango probably won't come home but if you need to leave, then go."

He looked her right in the eyes. A huge grin went across his face as he leaned forward.

"I am not moving from this chair until I absolutely have to. Plus I enjoy having you near me. And that is not the liquor talking."

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He always admired her from afar, even after she got with his brother. He always enjoyed watching her. Even though he knew he needed to leave he couldn't bring himself to do it. He finally had her to himself even if his beast was being a pain in the ass and he wasn't going to lose this opportunity to be with her. He might even get the chance to tell her how he truly felt.

"So are you just going to stare at me all night?"

"I like to admire beauty when it's in front of me."

Sesshomaru downed another drink as she shook her head.

"You say that as if it's true."

She got up from her chair and in a flash he was in front of her.

"Do not doubt what I say Kagome. Since I have met you I have wanted you to be mine."

He pulled her body against his. Her face so close to his, he could taste her lips already.

"Do you still want me Sesshomaru?"

He could feel his beast roaring inside his head.

'We must take her!'

Her body was screaming for his touch. He was going to hold back but she closed the space between their lips and he completely lost it.

Kagome stretched as the sun hit her face. She didn't remember much from last night. Jack does that when she drinks too much. She rolled over and hoped to get a little more sleep. She felt an arm go around her. She opened her eyes and was face to face with Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru you need to wake up."

He slowly opened his eyes. They were still rimed in red but better than they were.

"Good morning beautiful."

He pulled her against him and laid his chin on her head.

"Forgive me for last night. I couldn't control myself."

"Don't you dare apologize for that."

She nuzzled into his neck. It felt so normal to be here with him like this. Like she had been doing this for years. She didn't want to get out of bed but she was running on an empty stomach. She leaned up and smiled at him.

"You hungry my love?"

He laughed and kissed her forehead.

"You get dressed and I will make us something."

Sesshomaru slide out of bed and got dressed. He turned around in time to see his mating mark on Kagomes shoulder. He listened careful as he made his way into the kitchen. He couldn't hear the tiny heartbeat of a baby but it might be a little too early for that. Maybe it won't happen now. He was a powerful demon though. He knew he would just have to pay attention to all of her eating habits and listen for that tiny heartbeat. He was not going to lose this one.
