(Sesshomarus POV)

"Rin." I called to the little girl I took in. She looked up at me with a smile on her face. "Come with me."

She got up and followed me through the woods as I led her to a flowery meadow. I knew the child would enjoy this place, and this would be a good place to bring my miko, for what I have planned for her. I wonder, what will her reaction be when I tell her that this Sesshomaru has fallen in love with her, a ningen female. She would probably be surprised.

"It's beautiful, isn't it Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked. I nodded at the girl.

"Would you bring me some flowers for the miko?" I asked her. She squealed and brought a red rose to me then brought a colorful handful, some reds, oranges, yellows and purples and went on to the campsite, dropping a flower every so often.

(Kagomes POV)

I watched as Rin walked into the campsite, but Sesshomaru wasn't with her. She walked up to me, with a happy smile on her face.

"Kagome-chan! Can Rin take you to the pretty meadow Lord Sesshomaru found?" She asked. I nodded and looked over at Sango.

"Can you watch the food while I'm gone?" I asked. She grinned and nodded. I smiled as Rin took my hand and lead me into the forest. We got a few meters away from camp and Rin stopped.

"Rin remembers she want to play with Shippo! Can Rin play with him?" She asked me looking up cutely.

"Of course Rin." I replied, starting to turn but the little girl stopped me.

"Lord Sesshomaru is waiting for you, Lady Kagome." She told me, so I nodded and continued to my destination.

What I saw waiting for me took my breath away. Sesshomaru was standing there, looking at the meadow. He looked absolutely amazing in the fading sunlight, almost magical. It made me remember that I am not worthy of him.

*I wonder what he's thinking. What could he possibly want with me?*

He turned around as I entered the clearing, and smiled at me. He walked smoothly to me and held out his hand. I hesitantly took it, my face as red as a tomato. He chuckled lightly as he wrapped his other arm around me. I took a calming breath and the blood rushed out of my face as I relaxed. He sat down on the hilltop where he was standing moments ago, and I sat beside him.

We sat together for several minutes in a peaceful silence, until Sesshomarus hand left mine and picked up something that what laying beside him. He held a red rose in his hand, giving it to me. I smiled at the motion.

*What is he doing?* I thought affectionately.

"This Sesshomaru would like to court you, Kagome." He told me, watching for my reaction. I was surprised, and the blush returned.

"But...that means..that..you..." I stuttered. He chuckled.

"

Yes. I love you Kagome." He told me and I looked up at him smiling. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I love you to Sesshomaru." I replied. He smiled, and pulled me closer to him. I sighed, feeling peaceful, and content in my daiyoukais arms. I felt a clawed finger on my chin as he lifted my chin up. His lips brushed mine tenderly, and I practically melted into his embrace.
