It was dark, so dark she couldn't see a single thing in front of her, and so cold, her body wouldn't stop shivering.

Why was she here?

"You 're here,"

she felt a presence behind her as chills ran up her spine, raising the fine hair on her skin,

"Because I wanted to see you."

That voice, it sounded familiar.

"Aww come now love,"she felt a hand brush her cheek

"Don't tell me you already forgot about me?" She froze, fear slowly penetrating her stiffening body.

"Don't touch me!" She snapped stepping back.

How did he find her? And where the hell was she?

She heard him chuckle behind her and whipped around to face him , but she couldn't see a damn thing.

"What the hell do you want, why can't you just leave me alone?" she whispered.

"Leave you alone?" he asked. "How could I Kagome? Did you forget that you are my betrothed?"

"Just because my late parents promised me to you before I was born doesn't mean I'll be yours."

"Nonsense of course it will," he laughed appearing behind her again and wrapped his arms around her waist

"No!" She elbowed him in the stomach, using his pained gasp as a chance to escape as his grasp loosened from about her.

"I am not yours so stop coming after me and leave me alone."

Oh god she was in trouble. She didn't know where she was and to make matters worse he took her sight from her. She started to panic a little,what did he plan on doing to her? The last thing she remembered was being with Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru

She smiled, forgetting where she was and who she was with for a moment. She wanted to see him again, she wanted to stare into those gorgeous eyes of his.

"Sesshomaru," she whispered with a sigh.

"Who!?" Arms pulled her to a warm chest.

"You are mine and I don't share so you can just forget about another guy," he snapped voice dripping with ice.

His icy tone and bruising grip scared her.

"Let go of me you jerk!" she tried to break his grip but he wouldn't budge.

"I'm tired of you running away from me. Now that I've got you, I'll make you mine at last," he pushed her down until her back was against the floor. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head.

"No!" She struggled to get free but his grip was strong. He slid his leg between her thighs

"Stop it!" She started to panic when she realized what he wanted to do.

"This beautiful body of yours was made to please me Kagome, so let me enjoy that which is so rightfully mine," he said fondling her left breast with his free hand.

"Please stop," she cried.

She felt so pathetic, what happened to all the training she'd been doing? Hasn't she been preparing to face him one of these days, so why was she so weak? Sesshomaru's sparkling golden eyes flashed behind her closed lids.

'Sesshomaru,' she whimpered wishing she was with him.

Sesshomaru leaned back against the wall of the cave, listening to the loud booming of thunder, as lightning lit up the cave entranceevery once in awhile. He closed his eyes, preparing to doze for a bit when he heard Kagome's soft whimpers. He turned towards her sleeping form on the opposite side of where he was sitting. She was clinging to his mokomoko, her face etched with fear. Herose from his resting spot and made his way towards her.

He assumed she was having a nightmare so he tried to wake her. He patted her face gently calling to her," Kagome," but that didn't work so he gripped her shoulder and shook her slightly. Still she slept on, but the fear in her scent increased.

"No," she whimpered struggling against his hold.

"Kagome wake up," he gripped her wrist.

' I smell magic,' his beast snarled as he rose from his rest.

Sesshomaru took a closer sniff of her scent. Hiding behind her rapidly increasing fear was the unmistakable scent of dark magic.

''You're right, but what is its purpose I wonder," and who was responsible for such strong magic?

'Wake her, before she is lost to us forever,' his beast roared.

'Calm yourself,' he snapped.

'She's calling for me, let me out!' Sesshomaru stiffened and clenched his eyes, trying to maintain his control.

'Cam down and give this Sesshomaru room to think, how do you expect this one to act when you're behaving this way?' he snarled. The beast froze and slowly retreated.

'Save mate,' he whimpered.

Sesshomaru glared at Kagome in frustration, this wench was too much trouble. He hasn't even been in her presence for a whole day and already she was causing him grief. Wrapping his arms around her upper body, he slowly brought her to a sitting position.

"Stop it," he heard her whisper. His beast growled clawing against his restraints. Sesshomaru gathered his aura around her, using his strength to weaken the darkness that surrounded her.

"Please stop!" she cried out, thrashing against his hold.

The beast's growls turned into snarls, his agitation growing with every whimper that escaped her lips.

Sesshomaru's eyes turned pink, his concentration almost slipped as his soul felt hot and it burned badly.

This pain I feel, is it because of her? he wondered.

Struggling to hold back his darker side was proving to be difficult, but not impossible. However, breaking the darkness that was surrounding Kagome was not as easy as he first thought it would be. Using his aura alone wasn't enough.

'Sesshomaru,' he heard her voice calling to him, could taste the fear cloaking her scent.

'Mate,' his beast was desperate to be free, to save her.

Sesshomaru's control wavered for a moment, his mind was in chaos.

He could feel his beast agitation and the overwhelming need to protect, could smell the scent of Kagome's fear, her whimpers stirring something inside him. And the burning sensation on his soul was getting to be unbearable.

'Sesshomaru.' He could sense that her presence was slowing fading away.

No!, she was his for the time being, he won't lose her.

Tilting her head back, he covered his lips with hers. As soon as their lips met, everything stilled.

His beast quieted, no longer fighting to get loose. Her scent shifted, the fear slowly dispersing . And the burning he felt in his soul was soothed ,the unbearable feeling disappearing as if it never existed. Sesshomaru pulled back to stare into her face.

"Kagome," he called stroking her cheek gently. She stirred opening her eyes slowly. As soon as her gaze focused on him she broke into tears.

"Sesshomaru!" She cried throwing her arms around him and nuzzling into his neck.

Sesshomaru had no explanation as to what just occurred.

What was that dark presence he felt around her before she awoke? And what caused that burning sensation he felt in his soul?

He growled with frustration all he had were questions and no answers. He was mentally and physically exhausted and he felt drained. He slumped against Kagome as his body refused to hold him up any longer.

"Sesshomaru whats wrong?" she whispered pulling back.

He could see her lips moving but what was she saying?

Kagome was scared that something was wrong, he wasn't acting like his usual self.

"Hey," she cupped his face leaning towards him.

"Are you alri-" her words slowly faded away when she noticed that his golden eyes were now completely glowing red.

Those red eyes, I've seen them before but where?

Sesshomaru grabbed her shoulders and slammed her back against the ground. She gasped, all the air rushing passed her open mouth He leaned towards her face and snarled grabbing her wrist and pining them over her head. His grip was so tight she was certain that's he'd leave a bruise. He wrapped his free hand around her neck, his eyes never once leaving her own.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Scared?" baring his sharp canines he tightened his hold around her neck. She stared into his red glowing orbs, slowly shaking her head from side to side. He took a big sniff of her scent, a pleased purr passing his lips when he found no trace of fear.

"Mine?" He growled.

Her heart skipped a beat, was he asking? Was he seriously asking?

"Sesshomaru, " she paused when she felt his fingers trail down her body, from between her breast and slowly down to the space between her thighs. Her breath hitched

"Mine?" he growled again cupping her sex tightly.

She gasped her eyes widening in shock, she was not expecting him to touch her there.

"Se-seshomaru?" He rubbed his thumb against her core, not finding it surprising that she was already wet for him. Her mind stilled as her eyes became unfocused and glassy. She wiggled against his hand, moaning at the exquisite tingling sensation she felt in her stomach. He ripped the bottom half of her already tattered clothing.

"Mine?"

Kagome was flabbergasted, she didn't know what he was thinking anymore. She clamped her thighs together to hide her naked sex from his view. He snarled loudly and ripped them back open cupping her dripping sex with his palm again. She whimpered closing her eyes as pleasure and heat spread throughout her body.

Leaning towards her, he dragged his tongue against her upper lip.

Her eyes opened slowly, she was dazed, her mind was clouded with pleasure. His aura was penetrating every inch of her skin while his fingers rubbed against her core.

He let out a menacing growl that shook the cave and sent near by animals running for safety. Her breath hitched, her back arched, and she moaned deliciously as she came for him. Dragging his tongue against her cheek he waited for her eyes to focus on him.

"Mine?" He purred softly.

She melted against him, her body feeling as if it was made out of butter.

"Yours," she whispered breathlessly.

He smirked, nuzzling his nose against her cheek. Laying his head against her chest he gave into the rest his body so desperately needed ,glad he had a small chance to spend time with his mate, it was rare to get his other half exhausted like this, but he'd take any and all opportunities that he could get. Nuzzling between her soft breasts, he allowed her intoxicating scent to lull him to sleep.
