Everything was going great. Kagome and her friends were enjoying themselves greatly at the feast. Now that she is his soon to be mate he rarely left her side. He made her sit in his lap the entire time mainly because he caught Inuyasha glancing her way. He will not let that whelp corrupt his Kagome any further than he already has.

"Sesshomaru" he was pulled from his thoughts at the sound of his intended angelic voice.

"Yes love" he purred nuzzling her neck affectionately making her giggle softly.

"Let's dance" she said softly.

"As you wish" he got up and set her down and led her to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her little waist bringing her closer as she set her little hands on his chest resting her head on his chest as well. She felt him rest his chin on her head as they swayed in rhythm to the slow music being played by some of the servants.

"This feels nice"he heard her say in content "just being with you makes me feel happy" she whispered softly knowing he heard.

Sesshomaru couldn't agree more. This is the most at peace he's felt since ever. He has never met a woman like Kagome. So sweet, kind, and gentle, but one wrong move she turns into a ticking time bomb. He was so entranced and lost in his thoughts of the woman in his arms he didn't notice that some of the others joined as well. Sango was dancing with her brother Kohaku. He was revived with Kagomes' spiritual powers. Rin and Shippo danced with each other as well but nothing to close. Miroku sat watching his fiancé reconnect with her brother and Inuyasha was basically in a day dream.

'It's now or never' he thought making his way to Kagome.

"Kagome" he asked softly. The couple stopped hearing the intruder call to her.

"What do you want whelp" Sesshomaru growled annoyed holding his love tighter in his arms.

"I came to ask permission to speak with Kagome alone" he said respectively.

Though they weren't actually mated, he knew he still had to ask permission to speak with his attended or else Sesshomaru would kill him and he was in no mood to fight.

"Denied" Sesshomaru growled "if you wish to speak to Kagome then you will do so in my presence"

"Come" was all Sesshomaru said as he wrapped an arm around Kagomes' waist possessively as they went to his study.

"Now speak" Sesshomaru ordered after settling Kagome in his lap.

Inuyasha let out a defeated sigh before speaking.

"I want to say I'm sorry and I know what did and intended on doing is unforgivable and I am not here to ask forgiveness of any kind but just to say I'm sorry for what I put you through and all the damage I've done to you over the years. I do not want to make any excuses or try to justify anything that I have done because there isn't one and I won't even try to find one. Kagome I'm just sorry for it all. The pain, suffering, heartache everything" and with that he bowed his head indicating he was done.

Sesshomaru side glanced at his mates' expression before sending Inuyasha on his way. When Inuyasha was out of hearing range he glanced at his mate.

"Have your intensions change towards this one knowing that the fool was honest in his apology" he asked in his normal tone but on the inside he feared the worst.

Kagome stayed quiet for a bit before facing him. She let out a small smile before crashing her lips down on his. It was passionate, loving but yet hungry.

Sesshomaru tensed for a second before relaxing. He leaned back in the chair as he wrapped his arms around her as he deepened the kiss. His hands became anxious and began roaming her body. This damn outfit was one hell of a turn on. He got to the inside of her inner thigh before she slowly pulled away.

"Not even a little bit" she said in a contented sigh a she nuzzled his neck with her nose making him growl in approval.

In time she may forgive Inuyasha. They may end up as friends once more but it will never be as deep as it used to be, but right now she didn't care. She didn't care about him or his apology. The only thing she care about was her InuYoukai lover in her arms.
