Hey all Boton Chan here… here is the next chapter finally To Kagomes' secret curse. I am so, so very sorry this has taken me this long to update but to be totally honest I have had a MAJOR case of writers block. If there is anyone out there who is even still reading this please let me know what you think of this chapter. I apologize in advance for the shortness of this chapter. I stopped it where I felt I could without making it a cliffhanger.

LAST CHAPTER...

"What I mean to say is will you make love to me my lord?"

Clearing his throat the demon lord thought over what he wanted to say very carefully. "Kagome sama I am afraid that no matter how generous your offer is I cannot accept it. I'm truly sorry."

"Oh well that's okay. I mean I should have seen this one coming." The girl finished tears thick in her voice. "Why would you want a human! How foolish of me to even think that you would want me. I have dishonored my family and I have shamed myself." The miko had long since lost the battle with her tears. Realizing this she stood and turned to leave. Higarashi, Kagome stepped forward only to feel herself being pulled gently backwards.

"Please don't go Kagome. You have misunderstood the meaning of my words."

Oh great! Is it not enough that he has rejected me? I suppose he's going to tell me that he won't make love to me much less touch me because I'm dirty… Kagome dear Kagome I can't make love to you because this Sesshomaru will not be used as a tool to make you forget Inuyasha. Having said this Sesshomaru turned the shamed girl to face him.

I see my lord, I'm sorry I asked. It's just as well I suppose this Kagome can't get the feel of his hands and body out of my mind no matter how hard I try." The only thing the powerful demon lord could do was hold the now trembling young girl in his arms. "Shush, my miko I did not say that I wouldn't help you forget this terrible thing. With time your memories will fade a bit and until then I'll be here for you." Sesshomaru explained gently.

With his help Kagome was seated on a large coach. Sesshomaru then took a seat very carefully beside her. Lord Sesshomaru, YAWN could you please tell me more about your childhood?" no my dear I think not. I have already kept you up long enough with my stories." The demon lord admonished.

"Oh come on now Sesshy I'm not even YAWN tired. Really I promise." "If you fall asleep Kagome I shall be most upset and you will sleep where you are." Damn those eyes! What is it about them that makes one feel they most give in to your every whim?

"I shall tell you of an instance not even the half ling knows of my priestess. Let's see it must have been the summer of my tenth year. Father took me out to hunt for the first time. There is something you have to know when dog demos are sent out to hunt for the first time you do not get any help with the hunt. Father looked on with some amusement as I began to stalk my prey. Never before had I seen a creature such as this. That fact should have told me to seek out other prey. It didn't do so however, though after I pounced upon it I wished that I had done just that. The creature was curled into a spiny little ball, until I leapt into the air. As gravity pulled me back down to earth I watched it unfurl. I looked on in wonder as hundreds of those spiny things were sent towards me by its tail. Then there was burning like I had never felt before. My father laughed as he watched me run home to mother. Once I got home mother and father both held me down in order to pull out what I later learned were called quills. I never did completely forgive them for that." It was here that Sesshomaru turned to see that Kagome had indeed fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder.

Kagome when did it become so easy to allow your name to fall from my lips? You didn't shame your family and you aren't dirty. Quite on the contrary. You posses a most pure and clean soul. I hope I can make you see this. First though I will show you that what happened to you wasn't a true sexual experience. It is true that I said I wouldn't be a means of forgetting my brother. If you were to want me and only me… well we shall see little one.
