AN; that moment you re read your own work and get pissed bc it's not done...yeah that was me with this one

Silhouette of a miko

Kagome was confused but did an about face and followed the demon Lord, he walked away from the camp. When he was sure he was a good distance he stopped.

"Naraku's death looms"

"We hope" She corrected

"Are you still confused Miko?" He looked up to the night shy, shining brightly the stars did.

"I told you, I am not confused, I am hurt"

"It will pass" He simply stated as he ran his hands through his hair again,

"You dragged me out here to ask me that?" He was acting strange "Your not going to try and kill me again are you?"

He looked at her, she stood there all human in innocent, a mouse.

"The Monk has brought it my attention that the jewel may have its own intent"

Kagome looked down at her necklace "Yeah, it does seem to have a mind of it's own"

"You well will no longer work"

She put her necklace down "Yeah, you dont have to remind me"

"Have you concindered what you will do if the jewel does not send you back"

She blinked "Did you?" He whispered,

He looked away and crossed his arms "I did not" He admitted,

Sadness rushed over him, causing him to look at her once more, "I, I don't know, I hope it will, though, if it does I may never return"

Tears formed "You stole any chances I had"

"You could not time travel forever miko, you would have to choose"

She stopped the ground "But it was my choice to make!"

Sesshomaru walked up to her and grabbed her chin "I have wronged you"

Tears stopped and she looked at him wide-eyed,

"I am honor bound to you miko"

She sniffed as he let her chin go,

"What, what does that mean"

"If the jewel does not return you to the time to which you were born, this Sesshomaru will bear responsibility for you"

She blinked, confused "Responsibility for me?"

"Hn"

"Um, sorry, I don't understand, you mean you will take care of me?"

"Hm"

She looked away "You, you don't have to do that"

"To refuse is an insult Miko, do you tend to refuse me, it would be most unwise, the half-breed will not wed you and even if he did, his life link would not sustain you long enough"

She looked at him confused again "Sesshomaru, slow down, you're confusing me more, human terms please"

"I will mate you, my life link will sustain you till you reach the day in time that the jewelry is destroyed"

She took a few steps back in pure shock and covered her mouth with her hands.

He could see the shock in her eyes, and rate of her heat,

"Do you still wish to refuse me?"

"I," She could not speak "Your" Words could not form "You want to marry me?"

"Mate miko"

"Same thing" She whispered,

"It is not the same, the bond formed between a demon and mate is much stronger than any human ceremony, demons mate for life, and if you have forgotten miko, we are immortal"

She turned away, this was all a bit much "It's a bit much isn't it"

"You have very little regard for your self-worth miko?"

ut your the first to think your life is worth more than mine" She looked up "So why?"

"I have stated before, I have wronged you"

"I don't want to marry, er, mate you because of that Sesshomaru, as you said, it's for life"

"I will not ask again miko, if you refuse a demon male, he will concede and not return"

She slowly turned, the wind blowing her thick black hair "But, you didn't ask" Before he could say anything she left, and he looked down and watched her Silhouette retreat and he was left standing alone.

She was right,

He would have to bend,

But then again so would she.
