Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha blah blah blah


Kagome was still blushing as she fell asleep, Sesshomaru's words echoing in her head. Rin was asleep by Kagome's left and Kagome was leaning against Sesshomaru's shoulder, the warm fur against her face. He looked down at her, as she drifted off to sleep, her beautiful face relaxing as she dozed off. He looked up at the stars, as they twinkled in the glorious sky. He hadn't normally looked up at the sky that much, normally he was thinking about defeating Naraku or killing his useless half brother, and then he had found the orphan Rin, who he acted a guardian for. And then he had fallen for Kagome, the young and gorgeous miko that had stolen his heart. He hadn't trusted anyone to love, nor do they trust him to love them. But Kagome was different, she was like the fire, in Sesshomaru's heart, making it beat faster everytime he saw her smile and laugh, or kiss him. Jaken was awake and alert, listening to the sounds surrounding them, ready to beware his Lord in case he heard anything in the bushes. Sesshomaru looked at the sleeping girls, wondering how he could pursue a life that he had always wanted to live, with a woman that he loved and a child. Could he really settle down, or love? He sighed, thinking of what danger both girls are in, since they are around him. What if Naraku succeeded with his plan to get Kagome, what then? He couldn't bear to think about what would happen if Naraku finally got Kagome. Sesshomaru smiled, as Kagome rested more on his shoulder, her face near his. He breathed in her sweet scent, her smell filling his nose and making his stomach somersault. Her face was so relaxed, it made Sesshomaru want to kiss her. He wondered if Jaken was looking, but he was facing the other way. Sesshomaru put his fingers under her chin and kissed her gently on he soft lips, the feeling of intimateness between them. He let go of her chin, releasing her lips from his.

'Good night to you too.' He heard her whisper, smiling at him. He quickly recovered from being shocked at her not being asleep, but replaced it with a smile, and kissing her again, her touch and taste so perfect, he didn't want to let go, but as they gradually began to kiss more, Kagome fell asleep, her head settled above his chest. He smiled at her position, not wanting to wake her, Sesshomaru rested his hand on her head and stroked her soft raven coloured hair, watching and waiting for the sun to rise and for tomorrow to come, so that he could ask Kagome a question he had decided to ask her after they had kissed, but the timing had never been right, or he was just too…worried about her answer. He didn't want to ask her too upfront and scare her, making her want to go back to that half breed Inuyasha. I mean, asking someone to be their mate is a big step.


The morning light came quickly, surprising Sesshomaru. Kagome woke up and saw Sesshomaru get up.

'Good morning.' She said. He looked at her, and smiled.

'Good morning to you too.' He said, bending down and kissing her on her forehead. Kagome stood up, trying not to wake up Rin, and stood next to Sesshomaru, him looking down at her as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

'Uh…Kagome, I wanted to ask you something.' He said, looking her straight in her eyes. Kagome wondered what he wanted to talk about. Oh god, had he decided that he didn't want to be with her?

'I wanted to ask you if you…' But before Sesshomaru could continue, they heard a small shriek and looked over to see Rin that had went to wake up, but fell on top of Jaken, scaring both the demon and little Rin. Kagome smiled at Rin's clumsiness, much like herself, and turned to look back at Sesshomaru.

'What did you want to ask me?' She asked him, but Sesshomaru just shook his head and told her he was going to get some more fish, just a little way up the stream. After he left, Kagome wondered what he had been going to ask her before Rin had interrupted. Was he going to tell her to go back to her friends? Didn't he love her? Would it even work between them? Kagome dwelled on all 3 questions, as she sat down to play with Rin.


He had been getting closer to their camp, he could sense it. Pushing past the damn branches and bushes, Naraku walked towards the clearing where he could see figures. The small orphan named Rin was playing with the green demon and Kagome, who looked as thought in deep thought. He wondered what the girl was thinking about. Was it him? Was she worried about what he would do to her if he managed to get her? It sent shivers down his spine, just thinking about that. A smile traced along his lips, wondering whether Kagome was going to believe his disguise. And what about that green demon of Sesshomaru's? Would he suspect something? But Naraku stopped thinking about them, and paused just as he managed to get nearer. The two girls and demon in clear view and, just as he thought, no Sesshomaru. Naraku took a step out of the shadows in the trees, and into the clearing.


Kagome was busy playing with Rin's hair, making her giggle with delight. Then she heard rustling, and looked over to see Sesshomaru emerge from the trees, walking straight past Jaken and to Kagome. Wasn't he supposed to be getting fish? Why had he come out of the trees? Her confused face said it all. But Rin wasn't worried about anything, but jumped up and ran up to Sesshomaru.

'Lord Sesshomaru, are we going to leave today?' She asked him, holding onto his leg. Sesshomaru looked down at the girl, puzzled for some reason, but then gently smiled.

'Maybe Rin, maybe.' He said, patting the small girl's head. He then turned to look at Kagome, his gold eyes piercing into her brown ones.

'Can we go for a walk, Kagome?' He asked her. She raised an eyebrow at him, wondering if he was going to ask her the question he wanted to ask before going to find fish.

'Sure.' She said, standing up and going into the trees with him, but Jaken continued staring at Sesshomaru, noticing something wrong.

'Are you going to ask me that question?' She asked him, staring at him as they walked through the bushed and trees. He looked at her, puzzled, but then stopped. He had been acting weird, Kagome thought.

'Uh…what question. Oh, that one. Oh no, I just wanted a walk, just wanted to talk to you without anyone interfering.' He told her. Was he annoyed at something? He didn't seem himself. She shrugged it off. Well, Sesshomaru always acted weird, now wasn't any weirder. But Kagome noticed that they were walking too long and too far away from the clearing. Didn't he know that she was worried about Naraku, about the dream she had, about what he had said about her being a sacrifice.

'Uh, Sesshomaru. Shouldn't we head back, we're going out a bit too far, and I'm still a bit worried about, you know, Naraku.' She said to him. Naraku shivered with pleasure. She was scared of him, worrying about what he would do to her. He tried hard not to smile after she had said that, and the plan was in full swing now, they were almost at the spot he had picked out. But he wouldn't make it if she was going to head back. He grabbed her hand, leading her ahead, walking faster and trying to get to the other clearing.

'Sesshomaru, what's the matter, you've been acting weird.' She told him. But then she saw him leading her to another clearing, in the deep woods, and god knows how far away from the clearing with Rin and Jaken. Why would he take her out this far, just to talk? Sesshomaru turned to face her, something in his eyes making her heart beat faster, bus not because she was in love with him, but because there was something in his eyes, something that she's only seen in someone else's eyes, and she didn't ever want to see that person again.

'Maybe I should get rid of this disguise.' He told her.

'Huh? What? Disguise? What disguise?' Kagome started to ask, but he cut her off but somehow changing. His clothes changed to dark blue robes and his hair changing from glorious silver to striking black. Next, his whole face and body changed, one minute, he was Sesshomaru, the man she loved, the next, and he was Naraku, the person that she hated with every fibre of her body, who told Kagome that he was going to kill her to get another soul. She couldn't help but gasp, as she took a step away from the man who had transformed right in front of her.

'Hello Kagome.'


Maybe he shouldn't have left, maybe he should have just blurted it out, get it over and done with. Now his head hurt, the amount of thoughts and worries taking over him. His feelings for Kagome hadn't changed, but if they had, they had only grown stronger. Everytime he thought of her face, it made his insides feel light and his heart flutter, something that hasn't ever happened. He walked back to the clearing, carrying another fish, hoping that Kagome would cook, and maybe, just maybe, he's have a taste of this human food, just to please her. He would like that. He smiled to himself, walking over to where Rin was sat on the floor, Jaken next to her. As he got nearer, both of them sat up straighter, confusion all over their faces. Why were they confused? And where was Kagome. Sesshomaru stopped walking once getting to the clearing; something was wrong, very wrong.

'Who are you, and why are you posing as Lord Sesshomaru?' Jaken exclaimed, jumping up and standing protectively in front of Rin. Sesshomaru knotted his eyebrows in confusion, wondering what the hell Jaken was going on about. Why would he think that he was a poser, as himself?

'What the hell do you..' He started to say, before Jaken declared the staff of two heads to aim fire at him, but Sesshomaru merely caused the attack to fail before it even hit him. Jaken looked surprised and confused.

'If your Lord Sesshomaru, then who went of with Kagome?' Rin asked, fro, behind Jaken. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at this. Someone was posing as him, and had taken Kagome away. That could only mean one person, Naraku.

'Which way did they go?' He asked the two very confused companions. They both pointed to a part of the forest, which Sesshomaru ran through, immediately catching Kagome's scent, mixed with someone else's, definitely Naraku. He ran off into the trees, her scent getting stronger and stronger, until he came to a clearing, and a sight that made his heart stop completely.


She couldn't move, it was torture, no, this was worse than torture. He watched as she tried to move, but there was something holding her there, like a spell or something. She tried yanking her legs away, but it didn't work. Naraku smiled at her, and pulled something from his robe. It was an urn, supposedly full of ash. He opened the urn and tipped the ash on the floor, the dusty stuff piling up and making a very neat pile on the dirty floor. Kagome watched in terror, as Naraku put down the now empty urn and pulled out something else from underneath his robes. Kagome's eyes widened in terror, as she saw him draw out a silver dagger, the sun catching its shiny surface, reflecting the light at Kagome.

'Now,' Naraku said, coming closer to Kagome, 'I promise I'll make it quick, but I don't wanna lie about not feeling anything, because maybe you will, or maybe you wont.' He told her, teasing her with the sharp blade. He pointed the tip at her throat, making her heart stop for a second, fright casting over her whole body. God, was she really going to die? She hadn't even made out with Sesshomaru yet, and now she was going to be killed without being with him. It made her eyes sting, but she pulled herself together, telling herself not to cry in front of Naraku, to not let him know that he's gotten the better of her. Naraku was grinning like a maniac, realising his plan was now being completed, only a stab away. He pulled back the blade with his arm, with all of his strength, before thrusting it forwards.

Whoa, a good cliffhanger right? So...writing up the next chapter now, it will be up tomorrow, okay? Thanks again for reading XD
