White Snow

I do not own InuYasha. As well as thanks to all my readers and reviewers that has continued to be patient. I will be updating regularly which is daily like I have been doing before school started again this year.

Chapter: 55 Snow Senses

Kagome was like snow to ice. She was stick in a serene and comfortable position to her. Sesshomaru had turned to look out of the window and watched as the spring sun illuminated the outside world for whatever reason Kagome made him into a pillow and decided to take a nap. So far the floating palace had been quiet and no one took courage to trespass near his room. After, all they were supposed to be doing various jobs elsewhere in the place. This only served to make the place even quieter and helped Kagome.

Kagome shifted some and winded up with her legs precisely to the side of his with her arms lightly hugging his chest and her head leaning on his shoulder. The two looked like a modern day couple except the fact that they were not. From time to time his golden eyes glanced down at the young girl. He silently waited until she decided to wake up. Not trying to move since she seemed to be movement sensitive.

Kagome gave out a sigh and started to budge when it was mid-day. Kagome rubbed her eyes lazily and then looked up to see Sesshomaru had his eyes closed.

'He looks….so peaceful and not dangerous at all.' Kagome thought to herself as she continued to stare at him.

'I wonder what it would be like to hug him.' Kagome blushed faintly.

Slowly Kagome's hands moved over his chest to the point where she was embracing him. Kagome closed her eyes and relaxed. She started to use her sense of touch to find out more about him physically. Like all criteria for demons he felt like he had a strong body. How had a sense of maturity about him? Sesshomaru opened his eyes to see a raven haired girl embracing him in a hug. He slowly brought up his right hand and lightly touched her back. Effectively earning a shocked 'eep' and she moved out of embarrassment.

Kagome sat up and stared at his side shadow casted eyes. She scanned the room and it was illuminated with the sunset of spring. Exactly how long has she been sleeping? When she turned around to look back at Sesshomaru she stifled a gasp and she felt her heart almost melt.

' ….did these feelings grow or was it from seeing him like a portrait.'

Sesshomaru looked down at her with melted golden eyes. He allowed himself to sit in his room that was brilliantly, placed where the sun controlled the lighting.

"Seems you have forgotten that we have training." Sesshomaru commented.

"Oh sorry, maybe we should continue tomorrow." Kagome suggested.

"No we will start and finish today." Sesshomaru spoke before briskly grabbing her and jumping out of the window.

"Sesshomaru, you are grounded." Kagome added.

"I know and that is not important, you and your training come first." He replied.

Sesshomaru continued his was around the place and towards an entrance around the other side of the place. He stepped through the entrance and turned to his right and straight ahead of him. He quickly let Kagome down and then grabbed her hand and continued to lead her through the halls until her reached a room. He walked over towards the side and opened a door urging her through before entering himself and then closing it behind him. The elaborate glow of the flowers which; she had seen on the night of the ball against the walls and ground.

She continued to walk forward only to the middle and started to act like a twelve year old let loose in a field of flowers. Kagome twirled around and then when she looked back towards the entrance of the lovely place she did not see Sesshomaru.

"S-Sesshomaru?" Kagome whispered

Kagome turned towards her right when she felt like someone was watching her. The feeling was like a lost kitten that did not know what to do. It kept coming back and then leaving only to reappear at another spot.

"Are you there?" Kagome asked thinking a completely different thing.

'Did he bring me here and then leave?' she wondered.

Kagome made up her mind to walk around the flower garden more. Closing her eyes she decided to walk around blindly; might as well have fun while you can.

'Why would he leave me all alone? I know it is a lesson he's trying to teach me.' Kagome thought to herself.

She felt another chill behind her and by reflexes she looked behind her. And there was nothing there.

This continued for a while before she decided to stay in one spot and she then sat down. Kagome played with the flowers that lay on the ground. She closed her eyes and continued to play with the plants when she felt a small breeze past her. But it didn't feel like a little breeze. The place enclosed in the palace and she guessed that it was under the palace itself.

"Sesshomaru is this your Idea of fun." Kagome asked with a small smile as she turned around to see nothing again.

But Kagome was looking in the general direction that he was standing at. Feeling arms from behind her that embraced her in a hug. She heard his voice.

"You finally, got it… since you like hugging people here is a free one." Sesshomaru spoke making her blush lightly.

"haha so you were awake." Kagome stated.

"Mhm."
