Sesshomaru spent the entire night watching over kagome and the others. Often though he found his gaze was drawn to her form as she lay snuggled up with the children.
'Kagome I cannot believe that I finally have you so close to me. The gods must be pleased with me, when I made the offer for her to join me I never expected her to actually say yes; I figured she would be too loyal to Inuysha. Inuysha, the filthy half breed, how dare he makes a kagome so sad!'
Sesshomaru looked to the sky and seeing the first rays of light he was determined that it was time to get a move on. Walking over to where kagome lay he knelt down beside her and tapped her shoulder. Kagome groaned and rolled over. Smirking he tapped her again more forcefully.
"Kagome it is time to get up," he said. Kagome groaned and blinked her eyes at him sleeply.
"Sesshomaru?" She said as she stretched.
"Yes it is me, come we must go now," with that he straightened from his kneeling position gracefully and turned away from her.
Yawning, kagome got up and woke up the children. Once everything was settled and cleaned up kagome went to go find the sesshomaru.
She spotted him not far off their campsite. He stood there his stoic mask in place as he surveyed their surroundings.
"Sesshomaru," she called tentatively. She knew that he was aware of her presents, but he chose to say nothing. Walking closer she placed her hand on his arm and looked up at him.
"Sesshomaru are you ok," she asked.
" Kagome are you sure you wish to travel with me?," He asked turning to glance at her.
"What are you talking about? Of course I want to go with you!" She said with a small frown on her face. "I wouldn't be here otherwise."
"I know I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were doing," he said as he turned to fully face her. Kagome couldn't help the light blush that tinged her cheeks as his gaze captured hers.
"I'm sure, I want to be with you, and I thank you for giving me and my son the opportunity to travel with you."
"I assure you it's my pleasure," he said seductively causing her to blush a deep shade of red.
Seeing her blush and knowing he was the cause of it, gave him a great sense of pride.
'Hn she is so beautiful! By the gods we can't get to my palace fast enough... once I have her there I will make sure she will be mine.' He was brought out of his musings by kagomes soft voice.
"Sesshomaru are you listening to me."
"Hn."
"I said we should get back to the campsite and head for your palace."
She sighed, causing him to frown.
"Do not to do that," he stated firmly.
"Don't do what?"
"Sigh...I do not wish to hear you sigh unless it is a sigh of satisfaction," he said calmly. Kagome blinked at him and slowly her eyes widened and her blush deepened.
"Satisfaction" She questioned sheepishly. Sesshomaru froze as he watched her reaction, mentally berating himself for his slip of tongue. Kagome opened her mouth to say more but Jaken came crashing down in front of them. Kagome Let out a startled squeak and, Sesshomaru quickly flared out his aura in search of danger, sensing none he turned back to the little toad.
"Jaken explain yourself," the toad quickly bowed repeatedly and was apologizing.
"My lord forgive me it seems so I have angered the young kit," he rushed to say seeing the annoyed look on Sesshomaru's face.
"Shippo did this?" Kagome questioned as she looked towards the campsite.
"It seems as if he does not like it when I speak badly of you or humans in general," replied the toad.
"Jaken," The toad jumped at the sound of Sesshomaru's voice.
"Y-yes milord"
"You spoke ill of the Miko?"
"N-no...y-yes...no...Perhaps but I assure you it was a slip of the tongue milord," Sesshomaru looked over at kagome and saw that she was frowning. Thinking that it was because of what the toad had said Sesshomaru quickly kicked the toad away and walked over to Kagome, Cupping her face he forced her to look at him.
"Please do not be distraught over what he has said Kagome, I will see to it that he never spews such nonsense again."
"Sesshomaru, if this is how Jaken is acting, I wonder what the people who reside within your palace will feel and think," Her frown deepened and she looked into Sesshomaru's eyes. "I will not tolerate anyone speaking ill of me or my son," she stated firmly.
Sesshomaru seeing the resolve in her eyes made his heart flutter. Leaning down he captured her lips in a searing kiss. She gasped at the unexpected kiss and he took that moment to deepen the kiss, darting his tongue forward, he explored the cavern of her mouth, until the need for air became apparent. Leaning away slightly he gazed into her eyes and mentally smirked at the picture she presented.
"I wouldn't have it any other way Kagome," That said he spun away from her and headed back towards the camp, leaving a dazed Kagome to follow.
Once they were back at the camp they gathered their things and the children, they set off for the Western palace.
