Chapter 10: Lose Yourself

Sesshomaru watched his future mate walk away slowly as he got up and straightened up and went after her but noticed as she picked up both pups and took them to go and bathe once they were done, his beast urging him to hold her and make her happy… He placed a clawed hand on her shoulder and took her hand in his as the pups wandered back into camp while he took her in the opposite heading back to the springs once there he pushed her into a tree not hard enough to cause her damage as it was against courtship terms 'to hell with the courtship rules!' he thinks of his own will and kisses her watching her eyes go wide and struggle lightly then soon he feels her arms entwine around his neck as she kisses him back.

Soon she pulls away from him for much needed breath "Hah….. hah… hah…. Hah… Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked him with bated breath "Why did you kiss me?" Sesshomaru hated questions ever since he was a pup…. But if he was to make the little miko Kagome his mate then he'd better start liking them and quickly for he saw how much she asked them…. "This Sesshomaru intends to make you his mate…" he says calmly "It was a way of warning for you to know that this Sesshomaru is serious in this courtship…." Then he smirks as Kagome blushes then begins crying as his beast begins taking over and says "Why are tears coming?" he asks nuzzling into her neck gently then sends out a low rumble to try and calm her "I- Is this not what you wanted mate?" Kagome started laughing while still crying "It's not that Sesshomaru…. I am just really happy you want more than a one night fling with me…." She held onto him happily smiling as she broke out into harder sobs a smile still plastered onto her face she knew she was the luckiest girl in the world! "T- Thank you Sesshomaru kun….. I am so glad and so lucky…." She said as she soon fell asleep from the emotional exhaustion she had done to herself by crying in her happiness.

Sesshomaru's beast receded into the back as the two sides of Sesshomaru became one happily he picked her up and headed back into camp and with her in his arms he sat against a tree his moko moko wrapping around Kagome's, Shippo's, and Rin's shivering forms as they all cuddled into him and fell asleep knowing their father and mother were safe and they would be safe…. None noticed the shocked stares the make shift family was getting for their closeness that had just magically happened over the course of a few hours…
