~This is chapter 4! If you haven't read chapters 1-3, go read them first and this chapter will make more sense.~

You woke up in a daze. You didn't feel the cold ground your so used to on your back, you were in some place soft and warm. As the memory of last night rushes through your mind, you knew exactly where you were. You felt his heartbeat in a steady pace through his kimono. You smiled and yawned. Besides smelling demon blood on him, he had a pleasant scent to him. You took a deep breath through your nose to get a better smell of him. You said to Sesshomaru tiredly, "Good morning, my Lord."

He grinned at you when you looked up. "It's still early, you can go back to sleep. Don't worry, I'll wake you."

You looked at the sky and saw that the sky looked liked it was on fire. Strands of sparkling gold filled the sky with a smoky red as the base of the precious metal.

You didn't feel so sleepy anymore. "But I'm not tired anymore." You stood up on your knees and stretched. "What about you? Don't you need sleep?" You remembered the other night when Sesshomaru looked entirely exhausted.

"I don't sleep much. And besides, I feel a lot better now."

You layed down on his bundle of fur he willingly let you sleep on the other night. "So, where were you yesterday? I smelled fresh demon blood on you, so I'm guessing you were in a fight?"

"You sure ask a lot of questions do you?" His expression was blank, but soft somehow.

"I'm just a nosey person, you don't have to answer me." You stopped looking at his eyes that almost looked like the early morning sky, but his were richer in gold.

You both paused for a minute, "I was in a fight with my younger half brother."

You looked at Sesshomaru again and his face was hard again. "What's his name?"

He looked away from you and said his name, which looked like he was saying it to himself, "InuYasha…" His tone had some aggression in it. "He's a half-demon"

You've heard of half-demons before. Half human and half demon, they're often disrespected as "Half-Breeds". "What was the fight about? From the amount of blood I smell on you, it must've been serious."

He chuckled to himself quietly, "It was just fighting. We never got along."

You looked confused, "Well, there has to be a reason."

He looked back into your eyes, "We just never liked each other. Although, after our father's death, he let InuYasha inherit his sword, Tetsusiaga. While he left me with the Tenseiga, which is useless for fighting."

You looked over at the pile of armor and saw two swords. One of them looked a little older, so you figured that, that was the Tenseiga. You were rather interested in the story. "So, that's mostly why you hate your brother?"

"Mostly…" And that was the last thing he said on the subject.

"Do you care for me, Lord Sesshomaru?" You asked him. You were worried how he would react to the question. He didn't seem like the emotional type, so it was also an awkward question to ask.

His eyes widened as he looked at you.

You had a icy feeling go up your spine and back down again.

His eyes then returned to his hard stare. "Don't ask such silly things, Kasumi."

You started to get angry, "You don't dare to answer me, because your afraid of what might happen!" You argued. You didn't say it loud enough to wake Rin and Jaken, though. "It's okay to show a little emotion once in a while! Hell, you can even "tell" how your feeling, instead of keeping yourself all locked up inside… Just, tell me how you really feel about me, and tell the truth."

Sesshomaru looked a little surprised. Probably because he was never spoken to like that before. He said nothing.

You felt bad. Even after you told him off, he still didn't tell you anything. You wanted to cry. "Just forget it." You stood up to walk away to who knows where, as long it was away from him, and you felt a warm hand take your wrist.

"Wait…" Sesshomaru stood up to be next to you.

Your body faced him, but your face could not. You were trying to hold your tears in.

Sesshomaru sighed. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Kasumi. This is just the way I am. I'm not very good at handling these kind of situations. I guess that's why I try to not show any emotion to anyone."

You wanted to look at him to see his face, but you didn't want him to see your tears pouring from your eyes.

"I…" He sighed, "I do care about you… A lot…"

You couldn't decide if you were happy or sad. All you knew is that you tried to contain the tears that overstayed their welcome. But you couldn't hide your tears anymore when Sesshomaru took your face by the chin to make you look at him.

He had a very caring look on his face when you looked at him. "I truly didn't want to hurt you like this… Your… Very important…" He then looked deep in your eyes, "Your eyes are beautiful."

You then figured out the mixed emotion you had, happiness. He finally opened up to you, and he said he cares about you.

He looked a little nervous, but he willfully pulled you in closer to him, and pressed his lips against yours.

Your heart fluttered in your chest.

He pulled away and slowly moved his hand to your cheek to wipe away a tear with his thumb. He grinned at you and kissed your lips again. He kept kissing you until he reached your neck.

You wrap your arms around his body and grabbed a hold of his back. He stopped kissing you and he gave you a turn. You took his face with both hands and started kissing his cheeks and lips uncontrollably. You let your hands drop slowly touching his chest, feeling his smooth touch.

You two stopped kissing to let your actions sink in.

"I never expected you to kiss me, Sesshomaru."

He grinned, "You didn't seem to mind it."

You reviewed the delightful memories through your head that all felt like they were part of a dream.

Just then, you felt a sharp pain cut through your shoulder.
