Kagome found herself once again sitting on the edge of the old well. She didn't know what it was about that clearing, but it was one of the most peaceful places she had ever been. She had needed to get away from Inuyasha's whining. He had been complaining about their human frailties and how much time they were spending in the village.
Sometime during her walk it had started snowing. She loved to watch the snow as it slowly covered the trees and ground. There was something peaceful about a snowy day.
She was just beginning to relax when she felt a strong demonic aura pulse around her. She tensed for half a second before she realized that it was Sesshoumaru. She had been so focused on the scenery and her own thoughts that she hadn't even felt his approach.
"Hello Sesshoumaru" she greeted, craning her neck so that she could look him in the eyes. As soon as she raised her face a giant snowflake landed on her cheek. He raised his hand and gently cupped her face. Minding his claws, he wiped the flake from her cheek with a gentleness that she didn't know him capable of.
Slowly moving his face closer to hers, he softly brushed her lips with his own.
