Kagome slowly came into conciseness, but as soon as the pain hit she wished with all her might that she could go back to the place where there's no pain.

Her mind, however, wanted to wake up. So slowly she opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru lying next to her on the bed.

When she went to move her hand she noticed two things. One, she was holding Sesshomaru's hand. And two, his hand was very warm. There hands were entwined and laid softly on her stomach. For a moment she kept her hand in his, but after a while her body wanted to move so she let his hand go, and let his hand slide onto the bed.

Slowly and painfully she sat up and swung her legs over the bed and onto the floor. When she stood up the white cotton nightgown she had on feel to her ankles. There were simply silver patterns around the hems of the sleeves, and the bottom of the gown. 'Who had put this on?' she thought to herself, and then glanced back at the bed toward Sesshomaru, but the bed was empty.

When she turned around Sesshomaru was standing there right in front of her. Kagome screamed and jumped back a step.

"How did you get there so fast?" Kagome half yelled at him. Sesshomaru looked down at her. Ignoring what she had said he picked her up and put her back on the bed.

"You shouldn't be up." He said, but as he looked down at her the cuts on her arms were almost gone. He pulled the gown on her shoulder and frowned. The injury was still deep, but by the looks of it, it would be healed within two days.

Kagome blushed as he looked at her shoulder. "What is it?" she asked trying to see it. She sat up and lifted her hand to the wound, but as she reached toward it her fingers bumped into something that was hanging from around her neck. 'Hmm…' she said looking down at the necklace.

Confused she looked up into Sesshomaru's eyes. "What's this?" she asked him fingering the medallion. He quickly avoided her eyes and looked anywhere but at her.

"Haha you're in for it." His demon said laughing. Sesshomaru growled to himself.

'Well whatever I'm in for you're in for it too.' He thought smirking when his demon's laugh stopped short. Kagome shrugged and smiled at him.

"Well it's beautiful." She said and got out of the bed again to go look at it in the full sized mirror. She gasped when she saw it. It was the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. The necklace fit perfectly around her neck, and the medallion hung loosely.

Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru again. He was watching her with his emotionless mask in place but his mind was going a mile a minute.

'She likes it, right?' he thought to himself. 'That gasp meant she liked it, right?' He stared at her for a few seconds more then looked away. 'Of course she likes it.' Sesshomaru thought feeling stupid.

"Well duh. She said it was beautiful, and she's smiling like crazy." His demon said. Kagome had already turned back to the mirror, and was now looking at the quickly healing wound. She touched it and flinched. "But you're going to have to tell her why she has it on. She's going to wonder why she's healing so fast."

Sesshomaru shook his head slightly so Kagome couldn't see it, but made a point that he didn't want to. 'I'd rather not have to hold her down kicking and screaming for five hours.' He thought smirking at the image that popped into his head.

"And you're telling me to keep my mind out of the gutter." His demon said with a laugh. Just then the both of them realized that Kagome was looking at them again. Sesshomaru let his demon's comment go for the moment, but he was sure to get back to that soon.

"Can I go to a spring and take a bath?" she asked as a blush crossed her cheeks. Sesshomaru's eyebrow pulled up slightly.

'Why is she blushing? Is there a need for her to blush?' He sighed and shrugged it of. 'This girl is giving me too many questions to worry about.' He thought to himself and started out the door.

Kagome ran to follow. "Where are we going?" she asked jogging to keep up with his quick pace. He didn't answer so she just shrugged. After about a half a minute she started to get tired, and noticed that Sesshomaru slowed when she started breathing heavy.

"So…why am healing so fast?" she asked looking up at him. Sesshomaru continued to look straight ahead, and didn't answer her. Kagome grumbled to herself about dog demons being super deaf instead of having super hearing. Sesshomaru smirked to himself at her comment.

Sesshomaru finally stopped at a double wooden door, and opened it to revile a huge flower garden. Kagome gasped, and walked out to the nearest set of flowers and smelled them.

"This place is so beautiful." She said to herself and looked around. In the very back she could barely see this huge hot spring covered with the trees. "Whoa!" She said and started toward it.

Finally she remembered Sesshomaru, and turned back around, but she didn't see him. She shrugged and walked over to the spring.

The place was huge with a shallow end and many places to sit. There were many flowers surrounding it with many different colors and scents. Along the far end was a small waterfall running into the water below. Close to her were many different types of shampoo looking stuff and soap too. Near that were a few plain white towels, and a white robe.

Kagome quickly stripped her beautiful night gown that had small spots of blood on it from the wounds. When she went to take the necklace off it wouldn't come off. She pulled harder, but it wouldn't budge. The leather type necklace wouldn't even stretch. After about five minutes of trying she used her last option, and tried to use her Miko powers, but as her Miko powers raised so did another. Pink and blue surrounded her, and in the end the blue won, and it shocked her.

"Ow." She said pulling back. She tried again, but it did the same thing. After a few seconds she had a growing suspicion this was not meant as a gift.

Kagome looked back down at the warm water in the hot spring, and then back toward Sesshomaru's place, and then sadly back at the water.

"I'll just kill him after the shower." She said and slipped in. Little did she know, there was a pair of bright blue eyes watching her every movement.
