Chapter 6 of Tiny Taiyoukai's are just so Kawaii!1

Kagome wasn't sure she wanted to know what the feelings were that she was currently experiencing at the moment, her lips tingled from his kiss and her body felt funny, she had butterflies in her belly and her knees trembled. What exactly was happening to her? What were these things that he caused within her with just a soft kiss and a haunting look within golden eyes? Was she in love? Questions raced through her mind like they had never done so before, she was at a loss as to what to do and he was walking off like nothing had happened fading into the distance with each deliberate step. Should she follow him or should she turn and continue her adventure? Deciding on her first choice she flew after him catching up easily and taking the lead, showing him the way to her ancient tutor and his cure.

Arriving at the palace she snuck them both in through some of the servant's corridors and they arrived quickly at Elder Kaede's door. Knocking softly Kagome waited for the elder to answer, when the door opened she hushed the older fairy and told her that they needed to talk privately.

Kaede was shocked to say the least, she hadn't expected to see Kagome for at least a year or so and there was a demon with her. Confused and worried she let them into her room after hearing Kagome's request for privacy. "What has brought ye home so early child?"

"Well I had an accident after I left here and I don't know how to correct it Elder."

"What kind of accident my dear?" asked Kaede a little fearful of the answer while looking over the demon close by in concern.

"Elder this is Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands and I accidentally shrunk him while I was trying to save him. I came back here for your help to reverse it, can you help him?"

"It has been a long time since I've had to reverse such a thing child, give me a few days to work up the reversal potion and then he must drink it in order to reverse his problem. It will take the potion a few hours to work though, so ye must be patient with it."

"Thank you so much Elder and please don't say anything to my father about my return home, I will not be staying long."

"As you wish my lady. A question child, where will ye stay while ye wait for the potion to be made?"

"I'm not certain Elder, do you know of a place safe from the searching eyes of the others?"

"There is an abandoned house at the edge of the lands thought to be cursed by some demon, but the rumors are false in the assumption for there isn't a curse. Ye would be safe there for no one ventures near that house, their fear is to great to allow them to get near it. Go there in the cover of darkness and stay, I shall bring ye the potion for the Lord."

"Thanks Elder, Sesshomaru would you be so kind as to give us a moment? There is a bathing area just behind that door, if you wish, you may bathe there."

He nodded in acknowledgement before turning and going into the other room.

"Kaede I have been having these strange feelings lately and I don't know what they mean. Do you think you could help me decipher them?"

"Hai, explain to me what ye are feeling child."

Kagome explained all her weird sensations and what the demon lord made her feel by just a simple kiss, how her body at times felt like it was on fire, and the butterflies she got from just a glance her way.

"Hmm… Well child sounds to me like ye have fallen in love with this demon, what will ye do about this new revelation?"

"I…… I'm not sure Elder, I never thought that I had fallen for him. What do you think I should do Elder?"

"Well ye can let it go unrequited or ye can grow bigger and go live in his castle until he returns yer love. Think of ye happiness child and what will bring ye the most happiness, if ye stay ye may never see him again and if ye go ye will still be able to see yer family and friends. So think on it and then make yer decision, okay child?"

"Okay Elder, shall I call him back in now so that we may go to the abandoned house?"

"Hai call him in and take some rations with ye to the house, I shall see ye in a few days child."

Sesshomaru had heard bits and pieces of the conversation, but he thought they were talking about Miroku and not him. He also didn't hear the part about growing larger, so he was unfortunately in the dark still. To say he was happy would be a lie, he was in love with someone who loved another and that knowledge pained him greatly. Putting on his aloof mask he walked back into the room and thanked the elder fairy for her help then he followed Kagome to the abandoned house.

Kagome flew and Sesshomaru glided up on his cloud and they landed on the balcony of the house, pulling out the key that the elder had given them Kagome unlocked the door and entered cautiously, alert for signs of danger. Sensing none she led the way to the bedroom and bathing area, causing Sesshomaru's brow to raise a fraction for there was only one room and one futon in it. Yes Sesshomaru has slept on many surfaces in his lifetime, but he was missing the softness of a futon and tonight he was determined to sleep there with or without her in it.

Kagome finally noticed the lack of two futons and was beginning to get edgy about the thought of sharing with him, yeah they had slept in a few tight places before, but this was a futon! Much different from a tree, it was soft and warm looking, meant for mates to sleep in not them, but if she wanted somewhere comfortable to sleep for a change it looked like she would be sharing a futon with him. Laughing a little hysterically she said "It looks like we'll be sharing, no?"

"Indeed" came the casual reply from Sesshomaru, he would enjoy this little fortune, but it might prove difficult to keep his hands to himself especially with his beast practically drooling at the thought of sharing the only futon around. Glancing at her he said "I am unclean, I shall bathe before I sleep tonight." He walked into the bathing room like he owned it and shut the screen behind him. Washing quickly in the chill water, because he did not know how to get the water heated, had him finished bathing within minutes of entering it. Strolling out with nothing but a robe on he said "You shall show me how to heat the water tomorrow night fairy, for it is icy."

Kagome had to suppress her giggles at the peeved expression on his face from taking a cold bathe. Walking into the bathing room she beckoned him to follow, and follow he did, she showed him the various pull strings that caused the water to heat almost instantly. There was one that allowed you to adjust the temperature according to how a person liked it, he was listening to her, but his eyes were glued to her posterior that happened to be in the air at the moment. "Okay that's all there is to it, now out so I can bathe." After he left she adjusted the water and climbed into it soaking as she washed her filthy clothes, once they were cleaned she hung them on a bar to dry. When she had finished with her bath she slipped into a relatively small robe and walked out to join Sesshomaru. Giving him a pointed look she said "You sleep on one side and I'll sleep on the other, okay? Oh and absolutely no funny stuff mister."

Smiling to himself, he waited till after she was settled into the futon before climbing into it as well. Yes this would be an interesting night, no doubt he would get very little if any sleep at all.

Halfway through the night Sesshomaru awoke to find himself snuggled up with the fairy and his hands weren't in the best of places if she woke up and found them there. Pulling away from her he was taken aback by the whimper of disapproval that she emitted from the loss of his warmth against her, ignoring it he tried to put some distance between them before falling back off to sleep. Several more hours later he felt her petite body pressed against his and there was an arm around him this time as if she was trying to keep him close, if only for warmth. Unable to get away from her this time he settled for watching her sleep peacefully against him, he had fun staying in control of his body that wished to wreak havoc on her virginity. He would not tarnish his honor by doing so though for to do that without her consent would undoubtedly ruin any chances with her for good. Sighing he tried to ignore her closeness, trying to pretend she was Jaken sleeping against him instead of a soft, sensual, and very sexy fairy. Slamming the door on that train of thought closed, he decided it was best to ignore her presence entirely as hard as that would be he would try his damndest to shut her out.

Kagome was in a really deep sleep and her dreams wafted in and out like the scent of a baking cake does through rooms. She had glimpses of white fur, red eyes, fangs, long silky hair, a blue crescent moon, and deep golden eyes. Occasionally her glimpses showed passionate kisses and blurry images of bodies moving in a rhythmic motion with quiet gasps and cries of pleasure. None of this was remembered on waking though for she only saw golden eyes and felt the warmth of strong arms encircling her waist, thinking it was all a dream her hand reached up and tucked a lock of his silvery white hair behind his delicately pointed ear. A look of wonderment crossed her face because for a dream everything felt so real to the touch, wanting more she ran her fingers through his silky hair. Hearing a sharp intake of breath she looked at his face and noticed his eyes were closed, then she felt something sharp prick her back and the reality of the pain hit her full force. She was not asleep and this wasn't a dream, ashamed she pulled out of his arms and scrambled away from him as fast as she could, fleeing the room.

Sesshomaru was dumbstruck for the first time in his life, the fairy that he had fallen so hard for had just been in his arms playing with his hair. Unfortunately she must have realized that she wasn't dreaming when his claws accidentally dug into her back. Frustrated with the sudden turn of events he shredded the cream colored rug that was at the foot of the futon, he was so close but yet so far away from getting what he desired. Now he would be lucky if she shared the futon with him again, but he wouldn't get his hopes up for he had frightened her off by allowing her to believe that it was merely a dream.

Locating her in the kitchen he walked up behind her and said "Please accept my apology for my earlier actions."

"Why are you apologizing for my mistake?" Kagome asked incredulously

"Because I did not say anything to stop you from putting yourself in that predicament, I found it to pleasurable to interrupt you so I didn't."

"Oh, its fine I shouldn't have done that in the first place, apology accepted." Putting on a fake smile she then asked "Do you want breakfast?"

"No thank you, I'm not hungry this morning." Turning he walked over to the wall and sat down using it for support, feigning sleep he watched her through hooded eyes as she prepared her meal.
