The One and Only

Sorry for not posting this sooner. I went to sleep at like, 4 in the morning and woke up ant 4 in the evening-_-. Then, we went to go see the Matrix 2 movie (By the way, that story kicks ass!) and didn't get home until 10 at night. Then, I went and spent the night with my dad, and he doesn't have a computer. So sorry, but at least I'm working on it now! Oh, and just to let you know, because someone requested it, I have to decided to put in a Sess/kag moment in this story. Hold your enthusiasm people.

Chapter 5: It was an accident I swear!

Anxiety and fear suddenly assaulted his senses as he walked down the dark, dreary hallway. It piqued his interest even more when he found out that is was coming from Kagome's room.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he entered her room.

She was sleeping.

'She must be having a nightmare.' Sesshomaru mused, as he watched her twist and turn into her bed sheets. And then, another smell floated into the air. One he liked, but didn't like at the same time. 'Why does she have to be in heat?'

His mind pleaded to get out of the room, but his body made his feet go on. He couldn't stop his animal instincts from kicking in. But he could control them. Well, at least he hoped he could.

He didn't stop until he was right beside of her bed. The moon shined on her body, which was covered in a light sheen of sweat. She looked ethereal. And oh so pretty.

Her closed eyelids fluttered, and her breathing became jagged and quick. Her heart raced in her chest, and she tossed and turned even more.

'What is she dreaming about?' Sesshomaru leaned over her, his eyes connecting with her closed ones. His arms went beside her shoulders, supporting his weight.

Then, before he or Kami could even register what happened, she bolted upright, her mouth and his connecting in a searing kiss. Her arms latched around his head, causing her to deepen the kiss considerably. Sesshomaru managed to get over the shock, and began to sink into it.

Her eyes flung open.

"AHHHH!" Kagome yelled into his face, while bringing her hand to his cheek in a spine-tingling smack.

Then her focus came back into place. She just slapped Sesshomaru! Oh hell, how was she supposed to live now?

Doing the first thing that came to her, she lay back on the bed and yanked the covers over her head. She knew this wasn't going to help defend her, but it did offer her a comfort.

A soft sound began to come from Sesshomaru, and the bed was shaking slightly. Hesitantly, Kagome pulled the sheets off of her head. Sesshomaru was laughing?! How in Kami's name could he be laughing?! She'd just slapped him! Although, she couldn't deny the fact that she enjoyed his laughter.

"What's so funny?"

"I just got slapped for nothing."

"What do you mean 'for nothing'? You were kissing me!"

"Kissing you? I came in here to what was wrong because you were giving off strange scents. And when I came closer to observe what was going on, you bolted up and kissed me."

"Whatever."

"And if I do say so myself, you were rather enjoying that dream."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. Now, I'm leaving." Sesshomaru got off of the bed, leaving Kagome in a very red state. She did know what he was talking about, but she'd never have to admit it.

It had been three days since that little accident. And still, what she was dreaming was a complete enigma to him. Why did she have the smell of arousal all over her? Who was she dreaming of?

Sesshomaru immersed under the warm water of his hot spring, washing the soap off of his body.

The hot water surrounded his body, caressing his stiff muscles. It was hard work keeping the Western Lands under control.

Kagome needed a bath. Her muscles hurt and she was tired. She had a terrible migraine, and the sore on the back of her head was swollen to the size of a golf ball. 'Why did Sesshomaru have to hit me in my head?'

Kagome, her mind made up, headed out of her room and down the hall towards the hot spring.

*Grins and laughs evilly* what is gonna happen? Review to find out!

Oh, and by the way, tomorrow, I probably won't be able to update! *Cries* I know! It sucks major butt! I'll be traveling for eight hours just to get to Dover, Delaware where my daddy lives. (Can you believe I'm 13 years-old and still say daddy?)
