Sesshomaru lay in the bed thinking of what to do until he had to meet Kagome. For the sixth time in an hour he was thinking about their kiss, her soft supple lips and radiating smell. Although her smell was completely human there was something that lay dormant underneath it, rippling with something unidentifiable. He only noticed it when he was so close to her but it had gone as quick as it appeared.
He rose from his king size bed wearing nothing but black silk boxers. He tracked into his kitchen turning his coffee machine on and walked into his bathroom. Stripping the only item of clothing he had on, he took a shower preparing himself for the trip to his mothers house. His eye twitched from just thinking about visiting his mother. She was growing impatient with him and when that happened she did everything in her power to have her way.
Twenty minutes later Sesshomaru was cleaned and got out of the shower stark naked into his living room. Turning on his large screen television, there was broadcasting news that caught his sight. A growl erupted from his throat as a male reporter stood near a bush telling of a murder late last night. The two female victims were completely ripped apart from what seemed to be a wild animal but Sesshomaru knew better. The pack was being greedy and sloppy, although he knew Sakura would have no problem with it.
He clicked off the television and took a look out his window. Weather in Romania was never constant. Days could be very hot with no rain at all then as the night crept there would be a cold wind in the air. But today completely held a windy chill and he figured that by the time he would see Kagome it would get colder. Sesshomaru walked back into his room and went into his walk-in closet. Going straight to his sweaters he pulled out a long sleeved sweater and dress slacks.
After he dressed and drunk his coffee, he was out the door. Sesshomaru rarely ever drove his Mercedes because he didn't mind walking around Romania, everything he wanted was in walking distance but he figured that Kagome wouldn't want to walk in the cold. Kagome. Just how many times has he thought about her today? A small smile crept up onto his lips as her smiling image filled his mind.
Within fifteen minutes Sesshomaru arrived at his mother's house and he parked his car. He went directly inside without knocking and went up the winding steps. Sesshomaru had come upon the room that she usually was in and knocked. The talking inside had stopped and Sesshomaru took a deep breath before going in.
"Hello Sesshomaru please grab a seat" Sakura said winking her eye at him.
Sesshomaru said nothing as he went directly to the window and sat in his usual seat. His mother must have known that he would come because Naraku and Kagura were in the room as well. As usual Naraku stared at him with a red glare and Kagura tried to inch her way towards him. Sesshomaru sent a cold look to Kagura and she stopped her movements and turned back to Sakura. He was suddenly annoyed at her actions but decided to keep himself intact.
"Did you have a good morning Sesshomaru" Kagura said mixing her tea.
Sesshomaru crossed his leg. "As normal as it could get"
Sakura cleared her throat which was a clear sign of saying. "Mind your manners"
Sesshomaru ignored her and looked out his window. Being here right now was beginning to bore him and he didn't even know why he even came. He knew Naraku would be attached to his mother's sleeve like a two year old pup and Kagura would be lurking somewhere just to bump into him. He pushed his thoughts away and thought of what was to come in the next six hours.
"Sesshomaru" Sakura called. "It looks like a very nice day to go walking don't you think?"
Sesshomaru locked eyes with his mother as she looked at Kagura who was talking to Naraku, but he knew Kagura was listening intently on his response. He did not know how many times he would have to repeat himself; his mother would not let it go.
"I do not like the cold" He said tersely.
Sakura eyes dimmed. "Then at least don't sit there not saying anything" she snapped.
A familiar feeling crept into his stomach. "I'm going to the bathroom" He said as he got up and walked out the room. He went down the hall and turned the corner. Closing the door behind him he turned the light on tin the tiled bathroom and lifted the toilet seat. Sesshomaru washed his hands and sniffed. The smell of earth and rain was flowing from outside his door. He dried his hands and opened the door.
Kagura looked up at him, her red eyes were darker than Naraku but they still had the same gleam. He hadn't really taken notice of the dark jeans and shirt she wore. The front of the shirt dipped low and a gold chain hung between the small cleavage of her chest. She dressed her hair up and he smelled perfume. He didn't like that human made disaster; it made his nose itch and burned his throat. Kagura placed a hand on his arm and looked at him.
"Sesshomaru why don't you like me, is it because of my brother?" She asked.
Sesshomaru moved her hand from his arm leaned against the door. "I have my reasons as to which you are not to question"
Kagura felt a bubble of anger spark in her. "Then what is it! Your mother is trying very hard to get us together but you keep denying her wishes"
Sesshomaru stood to his full height. "That is the problem, my mother does not control my life and neither can you help change it. My mind is not on your brother for I do not care what he does as long as he does not cross my path."
Kagura crossed her arms. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Well who do you have your mind on Sesshomaru. It isn't me, your mother or your responsibility to the pack"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. "What I do on my own time is my business, now I will tell you for the last time to leave me alone…Next time I will not show any mercy"
Kagura stared at Sesshomaru's back as he walked away. Then she realized that she had struck a nerve with what he said. He had interest in someone else. In the shadows Naraku materialized from the dark. Kagura turned to him and shrugged.
"I told you that he is not willing to mate with me" Kagura waved her hand. "Although I think he is hiding something"
Naraku stood next to Kagura. His long wavy hair swayed behind him. he saw how protective Sesshomaru became after the question and he assumed that what Sesshomaru said was somehow right. Right now he would let Sesshomaru play his little games, using Kagura in his plans was not turning out for the best. Soon he would have come up with another one fast if he wanted to take over the pack.
"Continue with what we planned" Naraku said.
Kagura turned to him. "Continue with what, he has threatened me twice already the next time he might not be so lenient"
Naraku gave her a warning glare. "I do not care about what he said. Do as I say or I will do worse than he ever will" Naraku turned and left the hall with a fuming Kagura behind him.

Kagome woke up with a smile as she curled from her covers. She had the most exciting dream although she couldn't remember what but it must have been good if she woke up like this. Ruffling her hair from its braid Kagome went to the bathroom. Afterwards she had slipped on her socks and opened the door and walked downstairs. It was still quite early and only Sango and Daniel were eating at the large counter. Kagome smiled brightly going to the fridge.
"Good morning, you two are up very early" Kagome grabbed the cereal and milk.
Sango and Daniel were eating eggs, sausages and grits. Kagome pulled out a bowl and spoon and fixed her quick breakfast. She put everything away and sat next to Sango. She couldn't stop smiling.
Sango giggled. "You seem happy this morning"
Kagome shrugged. "I feel energized, got a lot of sleep"
Sango once again felt like that she was missing out on something that kagome wasn't telling her but she brushed it aside. She continued to eat her food and Kagome brought up little things throughout the time. Daniel was being his usual self, laughing loudly throughout the house at Kagome's little jokes then soon everyone was up and about.
Kagome finished her bowl and washed the other remaining dishes in the sink. Daniel came up beside her and placed his dish next to the sink. She had a feeling that he would want to talk to her about something.
"When you are done, there is something I need to speak to you about" He said.
Kagome nodded her head and continued with the dishes. A few minutes later Inuyasha, Kikyo Yura and Miroku came bounding in ready for some food. They all sat down and Kagome had finished. She turned and all eyes were on her.
"What" she asked.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "What do you mean what? Where's the food we're starving"
Kagome shook her head. "Nope not me I just finished washing the dishes one of you have to cook for the rest of you"
They all groaned and pleaded but Kagome shook her head, not giving in. Kikyo got up flipping her black hair and stood next to Kagome.
"It's not like she is the only one that can cook…what you want to eat" Kikyo said tossing her hair again.
Inuyasha snickered. "Umm baby you can't cook either so maybe Miroku can cook this time"
Kagome laughed as she went down the basement. The lighting was brighter than before and the room was clean, everything was put in it's place and nothing stood out o the floor. Daniel was sitting behind his desk, typing on a laptop she hadn't seen before. Kagome sat down in the chair in front of the desk.
"Did a little spring cleaning I see" Kagome said as she rebraided her hair.
Daniel looked up from the screen and grinned. He hadn't noticed that she had some in. "Yea I hate clutter every now and then" He closed the lap top and stood. He walked over to a stack of books. "But I did manage to find this"
Daniel had come back and leaned against his desk. He was holding an old book in his hands, scanning the pages.
He handed it to her and Kagome looked down at it. It was a spell book…well not really something like what witches probably use but the large bold letters of CONCEALMENT SPELLS called out to her. She looked up at Daniel.
"So this means that I do have a concealment spell on me then?" She asked.
Daniel took the book back. "Is there something that your parents gave you, something like a ring or accessory" Daniel said.
Kagome unconsciously touched her neck. There was something that her mother had given her just before she died. It was a long necklace with a gold charm. Kagome had never really thought of taking it off because she was afraid of losing it one day. Kagome looped a finger in her shirt and pulled out the necklace.
Daniel nodded. That must have been the source of her spell. Although he never noticed that Kagome had ever wore the necklace.
"You wouldn't mind taking it off" Daniel motioned.
Kagome nodded and took the necklace and at once she felt different. She felt stronger and more at tune with herself. All of her senses intensified as if she had been light up by a lightning bolt. Daniel eyes widened. Kagome was slightly shaking from the strength that had been held back from the necklace. She was powerful but she was not use to having so much accumulate on her at once. She quickly pulled the necklace back over her head and sighed.
"That feels so much better" she said softly.
Daniel breathed deep. "Well now we know the source of the spell but take my advice. The more you spend time with it off you will feel comfortable without it"
Kagome shook her head. "I can't take this off"
"Why not"
"Because what if I attract a couple of werewolves that are stronger than me and I can't do anything to protect myself" Kagome folded her arms.
Daniel grinned. "You're worried about Sesshomaru"
Kagome gasped. How did he know about him? Wait a minute Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Were you following me around?"
Daniel sat down behind his desk. "I am over 1200 years old, a little sneaking around his hard to get pass me"
Kagome was surprised that Daniel had managed to live that long. The world didn't seem that special to hang around for so long. She leaned in her seat and let the thoughts rushed by. He didn't seem to object about her and Sesshomaru though so did that mean she was free to meet up with him later. A moment ticked by before she asked.
"So you don't have a problem that I'm meeting with Sesshomaru" Kagome played with her braid.
Daniel sighed. "It's your decision Kagome but I warn you not to tell Sesshomaru of your heritage. He is completely different from his father and His mother Sakura is far worse than he will ever be"
Kagome perked up. So he wasn't set against her about Sesshomaru. She had decided that she wouldn't tell Sesshomaru about her heritage but that doesn't meant that she couldn't tell him she was werewolf. Though she was curious about the so called thing heritage did she have any cousins or uncles lurking around the earth? Her parents were never fond of talking about family.
"Daniel do I have any living family members that survived" She asked a bit of hope in the air.
Daniel shook his head. "They all died that day fighting for their mates and children…if they escaped no one has made contact with each other for centuries"
That bit of hope in the air vanished to a puff of smoke. Kagome stood up and stretched,. "Well thank you Daniel but I have to go and get ready, you sure about Sesshomaru though?"
Daniel nodded. "He has changed a lot since he was a kid but I'm sure it will be fine. But do be careful…again"
Kagome giggled and left the basement. Kagome walked though the kitchen and glanced at the dishes piled in the sink. She shook her head as she bounded up the stairs. Kagome was humming as she sauntered into the bathroom tuning on her shower full blast. She opened her window and the air was cold and a chill ran up her spine. Kagome pulled the bag of clothes that she had placed beside her closet and pulled out a black turtleneck sweater with long sleeves, dark jeans and boots.
Someone knocked softly on the door and she placed the clothes on the bed. She opened the door and smiled.
"Hey Sango, come on in" Kagome closed the door behind her. "Is there anything the matter?"
Sango noticed the pair of clothes on the bed. "Are you going somewhere?"
Kagome nodded. "Yea"
Sango sighed. "See I keep getting the feeling that you are not telling me something Kagome. a couple of days ago we told each other everything but now your holding off on me" Sango folded her arms trying to look mad.
Kagome giggled. "I'm sorry I just have too busy sorting out my thoughts that I haven't had time to talk with you. But seeing as I have a couple of hours left I'll tell you everything but you have to promise you will not tell anyone not even Miroku"
Sango perked up crossing her legs and leaning back on Kagome's bed. "I promise not fess up"
Kagome knew that Sango would not say a word and she was the only person that she felt really comfortable with. Sesshomaru made her nervous but in a very different way. So Kagome told everything from the first night to when she met Sesshomaru to when they had kissed. An hour and a half had passed and Kagome finished.
"So that was what I've been hiding" Kagome shrugged.
Sango's eyes were wide. "Wow…um how does it feel being royalty?"
Kagome shrugged. "There's nothing to feel excited about, I still feel the same except I'm just more…open minded"
Sango nodded. "Well tell me about your date with Sesshomaru then, I want to hear all the juicy details when you get back"
Kagome giggled. "Sure" Sango hugged her and rushed out the door.
Kagome had only about two hours left before she could go and meet Sesshomaru. She quickly stripped her clothes and jumped into eh shower.
2hours later…
Sesshomaru finally left his mother's house after almost bursting with annoyance and anger. After his apparent threat to Kagura he somehow sensed that she still hadn't listened to what he said. He verbally warned her to stay away from him which resulted in Naraku getting in his face, in those two seconds of anger Naraku was about to get his ass kicked. Then Sakura motioned them all to sit down and Sesshomaru did not sit down until the other two was seated, He let his hot aura hang about in the room until he was calm.
Now he was out of that god forsaken place and was on his way to meet Kagome. He wished that she had a cell phone so that he could cancel their meeting for another time because his day was ruined obviously. But thinking of seeing her bright face and kissing her again shoved all the anger and headache out of him. He got into his Mercedes and drove towards the church completely unaware of the shadow that was following him.
Kagome was walking down the alleyway that led to the abandoned church; there was a familiar aura up ahead and Kagome knew it was Sesshomaru. She folded her arms together and tried to shove away the creepy shiver that went down her back, she began to walk faster and soon she could see Sesshomaru ahead.
The beating his heart started to thump faster as Kagome came up from the alley. She wore a black sweater that covered her neck and arms and fitted jeans. Sesshomaru noticed that her hair was back to its curly ponytail and she wore pink lip-gloss. The heart filled smile he waited for was burning bright in her eyes. Her sky colored eyes were vibrant and deep moving like the sea.
Kagome silently screamed in her mind as she approached Sesshomaru. The gray sweater he wore complimented his pale skin well and his golden eyes were glowing like molten lava. She took in the sight of his silver hair moving in the crisp wind. She wondered how soft his hair was and would it flow like silk between her fingers. She stopped in front of him and held out her hand.
"Hello Sesshomaru"
Sesshomaru glanced down at her hand. He took her hand but instead of shaking it he pulled her closer to him, their lips centimeters apart. "And hello to you"
Sesshomaru didn't bother holding back the pent up desire from last night that kept him from sleeping. Kagome slightly tensed when Sesshomaru kissed her but she relaxed and placed her hand on his cheek as his rested on the crook of her back. When she realized just how into the kiss he was pushing, she halted him pushing away from him slightly. He growled very low and Kagome giggled. He probably thought that she hadn't heard him.
"We are not going to spend our time kissing in a darkening alley, Why is it you wanted to meet me here?"
Sesshomaru blinked. He really didn't know where he wanted to take her. He looked up at the sky and calculated that nightfall wasn't far away. Then a memory jolted his mind. He knew just the place to take her.
"It is a surprise" his voice rolled smooth and sensual.
Sesshomaru placed a quick kiss on her lips before opening the car door for her then walked around to his door. There was a crawl up his neck and he knew that some one was following him. He sensed that the aura was of a low level werewolf but something about it was familiar. Sesshomaru telepathically sent a blast to cripple the werewolf in his path. Sesshomaru smirked then hopped in the car.
Kagome looked worried. "Was there a problem"
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Not anymore"

Hakkaku was left in the corner of the alley trying to compose himself of Sesshomaru's attack. Why would he be with such a filthy human? Hakkaku had noticed that it was the same woman from that day in the market. Sesshomaru was willing to risk their secret for being with her? He struggled up to his feet, the small trail of blood dripping from his nose. Hakkaku held an evil gleam in his eyes as he melded deep in the black shadows.
