A/N: Again, thank you everyone so much for enjoying this story. It was a lot of fun to write. Until next time.

Kagome grasped her backpack by one of the straps standing in front of the well. She was dressed in her shirt and skirt, she held her shoes in her free hand.

Sesshomaru had adorned his clothing, armor, and swords once again as he stood in front of her.

"So, that's it?" She questioned more to just fill the awkward silence between them. Sesshomaru gave a nod. Kagome glanced back at the well. "I'm just gonna go back, take care of...things so I uh, don't get pregnant."

"This Sesshomaru would greatly appreciate it if you didn't." He replied.

"Yeah don't worry. That's the last thing I want or need."

"You are stalling little one." He said not unkindly.

"It's just, last night was amazing." She said dropping her things and taking his hand in hers. "I know it was a one night stand but I just want you to know, I'll always remember it. As long as I live."

Sesshomaru momentarily gripped her hand before letting loose. Kagome took it as a sign to go. "Well, I'll see ya around. Oh and if Inuyasha comes looking for me, you never saw me."

"Similarly, you will speak of this to no one." His eyes narrowed and Kagome smiled at him.

"You're not the only one with a reputation to uphold." She said. Gathering up her bag and her shoes she sat on the edge of the well and pushed herself off.

Sesshomaru turned from the well and walked away as the barrier dissolved having used all of its energy.

Kagome stood at the door of her house uncertain how to broach this subject. She snuck in glancing around hoping against hope that it was just her mother home.

As she made her way into the kitchen her prayers were answered as her mother sat flipping through a magazine.

"Oh, hey Kagome." She glanced up, down, then up again. "Did you get into a fight?"

"Not exactly...surprise I'm not a virgin anymore and I really, really need to get pills so I don't get pregnant so please, please take me." She said in one long breath.

Her mother's face tensed. "You slept with Inuyasha without protection?"

Kagome let out a forced laugh. "Not Inuyasha buuut his brother."

"The one thats tried to kill you?!" Her mothers face paled.

"Yes."

"Get into that washroom this instant Kagome!" She demanded picking up her magazine and swiping it at her arm.

"Hey!" Kagome yelled out as her mother chased her into the tub room.

"I raised you better than that!" She shouted. "Wash up, and we're going to the clinic!"

"Oooo, she's mad." Kagome said to herself blowing out a breath of air. As she took off her soiled clothes she inspected the damage from the night before.

Bruises, scratches, scrapes, and a few cuts adorned her skin. She ran her hands over them gently.

"So worth it."
