Chapter Four

Route B: Sesshoumaru's Route:

Option B

"Would… You like to come in?" Your voice was shaky but you were happy to see him nod and step in beside you. You closed the door behind him and locked it like you normally do at night. Sesshoumaru walked over to your kotatsu and sat down. You quickly switched on the space heater you bought then hurried to the kotatsu and turned it on.

"I know we just had some, but would you like some tea?" You asked and he just silently nodded as an answer. You went to your little cabinet that you stocked with a hot plate, tea set, some jugs of water, and tea. You loved drinking tea and were glad that you bought a four piece cup set to go with your tea pot instead of just one cup for yourself. You pour some water into the pot and set the hot plate up on the kotatsu and started the tea.

"What is it?" You finally asked. You sat down next to Sesshoumaru and looked at him. You placed your hand gently on his shoulder to try to get his attention. "I don't like seeing you like this. It's not like you."

He still didn't answer you, but instead wrapped both of his arms around you. "Se….Sesshoumaru?" You questioned. Your heart started to pump hard and fast and your face felt like it was on fire. He was squeezing you tight.

"I'm sorry..." He finally spoke. His voice was soft "you got hurt because of me... It was my job to protect you and I failed."

You smiled and relaxed in his arms. You slowly lifted your arms up and hugged him back. His warmth was amazing and his scent was intoxicating. "Sesshoumaru... I'm okay now." You said softly. He pulled back a little and kept his face close to yours. You got caught in his eyes again. There was something new in them you haven't seen before, you couldn't put your finger on it.

Just when you were about to speak again he stopped you. His lips met yours, softly at first. Just a soft kiss that sent shivers down your spine. He pulled away and looked at you again. You were in shock... He kissed you and it was amazing... Your first kiss was with him. Your face was on fire and you stayed lose to his face. "Sesshoumaru..." You whispered.

He answered you by pushing you into the tatami mats and laying his body on top of yours. He kiss you rough this time. Each kiss had a sweet passion behind it. His hand traveled up the side on your body until he got to your hair. He gently grabbed your hair in a fist and pulled your head to the side. His lips left yours and he kissed your chin, down to your neck l. He gently nipped your neck and you couldn't help letting out a small moan. He met your lips again and you felt his tongue slid across your bottom lip, begging for access. You opened your mouth and kissed him with everything you had. You two were interrupted but the tea pot screaming with steam rushing out of it. Then he stopped. He got off of you and sat up.

Without saying anything he walked to the door. You got up and followed him after you turned the hot plate off. "It's late." He finally said and this time with a smirk on his face. "We can discuss this next time." You nodded at him. You gave him one last hug goodnight and watched him walk off into the darkness. You locked the door behind you and went to the kotatsu and pulled out your books to start on your schoolwork. You couldn't concentrate so you poured yourself a cup of tea. You sat and stared at Sesshoumaru's empty cup and smiled. You were confused and full of joy all at once. It was another sleepless night for you, but it was well worth it.
