Yay, another chapter is updated. I love everyone's reviews, they are very encouraging. I wanted to ask everyone about an idea that i had. I'm not sure if I want to keep it rated 'G' or if I should put in a little something for my hentai viewers. It'll be a Sess/Kag, San/Mir pairing. I'm not sure if Inuyasha will be in it, but i'm sure I can fit him in there some how. N-e ways enjoy the next chap and let me know what you think. love ya ; )

She was sitting in the shallows of the river washing the dishes and cooling off when he'd found her. It got hot quickly after the sun came up. It was to be expected concidering what time of year it was.

"So. Are you going to help me or just stand there staring?"

"I'm curious Miko. What is it you are hiding from your pack."

Kagome froze and went wide eyed. 'How the hell...' She got a hold of herself and continued cleaning. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Do not act innocent, Miko. I can sense you have concealed something about yourself. You do not conceal any of your priestess powers yet you have more and have not told any member of your pack what it is."

Kagome slowly got up and turned to face him with a glower. 'ooo, he's yummy' 'Shut up' "That is non of your concern. What I don and do not tell them is my business, not yours."

"It does not concern This Sesshomaru whether or not you tell your pack. The only concern is that you tell This Sesshomaru."

She lifted her eyebrow. "And what makes you think I'm gonna tell you? I haven't told anyone and don't intend to. If you wish to know, you'll have to figure it out yourself. Something I am confident you have no chance of doing." With a sarcastic smile, she turned and went to finish her cleaning.

"Is that a challenge Miko."

She slowly smiles with the idea and stands back up. Slowly, she walks up to him slightly swaying her hips. "Actually." She said seductively. "It is." She slowly walked around im trailing her fingertips across hes lower back and then settling on his stomach. She lifted herself on the tips of her toes and put her other hand on his chest. "Are you up to the task?"

He'd been eyeing her since she stood so seductively. 'She is bold' "You dare touch this Sesshomaru's person."

"Oh yes. I dare." 'What the hell am I doing?' 'He is yummy and you want him' 'That doesn't mean I have to do 'this'! ' 'If you want him, you do. All males need a shove.' She grins to herself evilly 'And a shove I will give him'

'She's a feisty one' He grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to him. He smiled evilly. "I don't think you could handle it if I took the challenge."

Kagome brought her hand up from his stomach to behind his head and drew him closer. "Try me." she whispered just inches from him.

'Something about her is just irresistable' His hand came up to tangle in her hair and kissed her deeply.

Kagome moaned in his mouth and pulled away. "I'm glad you chose to accept." she said breathlessly.

Sesshomaru brought her closer again when she suddenly pulled away from walking back to the river. "Well." she said happy as could be. "The dishes won't clean themselves."

Sesshomaru inwardly shook himself. 'What the hell just happened.' 'Mate playing hard to get.' 'Mate! Who ever said she was our mate.' 'We did.' 'And that's that huh. No female hes ever distracted me like that. I forgot about why I followed her in the first place and only wanted her. Wait a minute. There's only one way she could have done it.' He growled to himself. 'And the bitch overpowered me! She'll pay for that.'

"I have accepted your so called challenge and have figured it out."

She looked at him indignantly. "What?"

"You've slipped. I know your secret." he said with a self saticefied smile.
