Yeah, sort of the same as the next instalment of 'Pure of heart', but I wanted them to have more interaction of a pleasant nature.

Wishing goodnight Sesshoumaru style

Kagome sat at the table to Sesshoumaru's left, looking at the remnants of her meal. Today it had been a herby tomato soup with bread followed by fish covered by a salty crumb with vegetables. There was a bowl of fruit on the table and she watched in amazement as it was all placed before her as if they expected her to consume it all. She was never one to disappoint, but there was simply too much and the demons she was dining with did not eat as much as humans had to, so a lot of it unfortunately ended up going to waste.

There was music playing after dinner, and Kagome found herself mindlessly nodding her head along to it. Some of the demons paired off and started to dance to the music, soon enough she was the only one left sitting there and even Inuyasha had gone. Usually he would loath to leave her side but he had decided to break tradition. She wanted to leave as well but without Inuyasha as an escort she had to wait until the Daiyoukai was done and ready to leave. Then suddenly while she was looking at the floor she realized the brown wooden floor had been replaced by white shoes, looking up she saw it was followed by white hakamas a haori and a familiar face with magenta stripes and a blue crescent moon in the middle of his forehead.

He extended one pale hand out to her; she looked at it for a moment before realizing he wanted her to take it. She took it before realizing she had complied and he pulled her roughly to her feet and tugging her to the middle of the floor. He wrapped his arms around her; one around her waist and the other took her hand and held it. "Dance with me," he said and twirled her around once, "you like the song don't you, I saw you tapping out the beat." He led the dance very well, it hardly seemed to matter she was ignorant of how to do so.

She ended up smiling as she whisked around the dance floor. He made jokes and she ended up laughing at them, and she chatted back to him. She enjoyed that evening; she had never had such a simple and enjoyable time with him. She forgot all about the troubles she had gone through and the blood he had spilt, she just wanted a simple time like this to last forever. He walked her to her room after that dance and the next which he also danced with her ended; he had now decided to grant her with a room that adjoined his own instead of have her share his.

She was only a human and not fully grown yet, he remembered that and let her go to bed even if he was not ready to go yet. He wished her goodnight and was about to leave when he suddenly grasped her face in his hands and kissed her on the lips. And that was it; he smiled, turned around and headed back downstairs to where the dancing was going on.
