The One and Only

Now, it's time for you to get involved. I've thought up enough to get me through at least three chapters, only problem is, I don't know what to write afterwards!! Email me if you come up with any ideas!!

Chapter 8:

Kikyo sat at the base of a tall tree, staring at the fire. Inuyasha was snoring up above her, and Sango was sleeping as far away from Miroku as possible. Shippou was curled up into a ball nestled softly next the fire demon cat.

She had everything she ever wanted in life, yet she wasn't content.

Sango was always hostile towards her, and the monk paid her no mind what so ever. Shippou ignored her most of the time, and Kirara stayed at least five feet from her at all possible times. The only person who talked to her or even noticed her was Inuyasha.

She had to just face it. Kagome was better than her. Everyone liked her more. She meant nothing compared to Kagome.

Although, She had always thought of it as the other way around. That she was more important than Kagome. But apparently, that wasn't true.

"What's wrong, Kikyo?" Inuyasha still sat perched in his tree, but was peering over the edge and down at Kikyo.

"Nothing. Honestly. It's nothing."

Kagome sat in her designated room, pondering on all of the prior events that had happened. What had Sesshomaru meant when he said 'it was bound to happen anyway'? Was he planning on doing something without her knowledge? With her?

Three heavy knocks came from her door. "Suddenly, this is becoming too familiar to me." Kagome sarcastically said to herself as she got up to open her door. Sesshomaru was standing behind it, her burnt clothes in his arms.

"What happened?"

"Rin caught some papers on fire and Jaken, being the half wit he is, grabbed your garbs and began hitting the flames with them. Sorry."

"It's okay. I can get some more-"

"Where?"

"Well, I was going to say 'in my era' but you probably won't let me go."

"Why do you need to go there anyway?"

"My family lives there."

"Oh. If you must and if it will make you happy, then go. But, will you return?"

Kagome sincerely smiled at him. "Yes."

"You have a nice smile."

"Thank you. Yours isn't that bad either."

"Thank you." Sesshomaru continually stared at her, suddenly becoming entranced by her chocolate eyes. Without thought, he dipped his head and connected his lips with hers.

Fireworks shot off behind Kagome's eyes as they instinctively closed. His mouth was so warm and so soft against hers. She had to be in heaven.

Sugar. She tasted like sugar. The sweetest substance in the world.

Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her petite waist, bringing their bodies into closer contact. It was amazing. Their bodies contoured with each other's in an almost perfect manner.

Sesshomaru pulled away, completely breathless. Her eyes opened, revealing those deep brown eyes.

"Wow."

A/N: *dodges all the fruit and vegetables thrown at her* okay, okay. I admit it. That was harsh. I'm working on chapter 9, so it should be out soon.

I'm thinking of making this story a lemon. Email me and tell me what you think about that thought. While you're at it, you can review as well. (my email: tweak_tweak@hotmail.com)
