I said you could have whatever you like.

One Sesshomaru Tashio, the man who had everything and could have everything wanted the one thing in the world that was supposed to be off-limits.

Her.

Not only was it forbidden because of who they were, but because he himself long ago vowed he would never fall into the tangled web his father had. It was a mess that left him dead. Even after he first met her and his inner beast growled at her arousing defiance, he told himself no. He had analyzed it for days. Why was his beast taken with this girl? She was small but indeed strong but her mouth. Of course, as soon as the thought popped into his head, the idea to put that mouth to work soon followed.

He didn't understand; why was he so attracted to her?

Was it because she challenged him? Faught him, was his negative? Or was it because of the way she looked at him? Every time the girl looked at him, he wanted to go to her; he wanted to see her pleased.

Of course, his closes friend, if you could call them, that told him it was because she was what he couldn't have.

Boys want what they cant have. That, of course, had been the way it had started for his father.

Inuyasha's mother was a Hime and forbade to most men.

Sesshomaru had more control, but then the young girl turned into an older teen, and the pull became stronger. He found himself near her more often because she was in training in their lands and at the mercy and watchful eye of his mother.

He wasn't sure if the girl was even aware of what he was doing. It started out with him just being around her during her day training; then, he started throwing demonic power her way, then he started scarring off boys trying to be men. Curiosity turned into tolerance, and then it turned into feelings, and he couldn't recall how or why or when.

He wasn't stupid; he knew what the humans were starting to call him, her guard dog, but in his eyes, he was much more; he was her mate. Of course, he never told her that, and she called it friendship.

Inuyasha called it weird but thought nothing of it; she had a weird habit of befriending all kinds of demons.

Sesshomaru was content for the most part, but he knew her training and his would one day see them part, as well as his ever-watchful mother.

It was that night at a party of the West when she leaned against him. He closed his eyes. She always did that. Would touch him without drawing attention, he wondered for a moment if she were testing him. Or if she knew his dark secret.

"I am going to miss you," She said over the loud music being played, in a whisper, but he heard her.

He looked down at her. "Then delay,"

She looked up at him; turning to face him, he put his arms around her waist.

"Would you miss me?" She then asked, and it was in her voice, she had to have known he wanted her in secret. That's why she moved the way she moved, gave him light touches unseen by others; she knew he was fighting it but that it was there.

"Indeed,"

He lowered his face and pushed her closer, all hell-bent on kissing her, but then she was torn away from his arms, and he came face to face with his mother's sister.

"Inconceivable!" She sneered, "This is forbidden; leave now!"

He did, and he sat in the dark for days trying to rid her from his mind, but it was no use. Even as he repeated that this was what lead to his father's demise, they should have never torn her out of his arms; it made his need and want of her triple.

Telling him he could not have her was one thing; taking her from his arms was a whole nother level.

He was Sesshomaru fucking Tashio, and he was well outside his mating bonds, and he, he could have whatever he liked.

And he liked Kagome.

No, he more than liked her. He needed her, wanted her, desired her, craved her. So he showed up late in the night, the night before she was meant to be off. He pulled her into his arms and lowered his mouth to hers before she could speak.

There was a spark, and they both inhaled, and then he slowly broke the kiss "Sesshomaru," She breathed.

"I can not promise you a happily ever after Miko, and I can not say what is to come of my duty, but I can offer you now,"

Her eyes and his met,

"Surely there are-

"I do not want others."

"You want what we can't have" He heard the sadness in her tone,

"I want you."

She touched his chest. "I want you to," She whispered, and he knew she felt the same, but she also understood. She looked down, and he knew she was thinking about it.

"We can have whatever we want now, Miko,"

He put a finger under her chin and made her look up. "It is better to love and lose than to never love at all. Is that not something I have heard from your mouth before? Do you not believe this?"

"Do you love me?" She asked,

"I am prepared to find out" His lips were close to hers,

She was scared, "You're ok with losing?"

"We will cross that bridge when we get there Kagome, say yes because this Sesshomaru can not wait another day."

She eyes his lips before sealing them with hers and whispering, "Hia."

Meanwhile, two powerful demonesses looked out into the night,

"Sister, do you know where he goes!" The woman sneers,

The moon's mother waved her hand in dismissal. "Do no fret sister, I will allow his fun, for now, if anything, it will destroy her in the end, and forces meant to keep them apart will prevail; they will not be in the end,"

The moon's mother looked at her sister. "Regardless of what he thinks, he can not have whatever he likes, not while I still breathe and rule,"

She looked out again. "He is no King, and she will never be Queen,"
