Here we go! I spent all of yesterday planning out a convention with my friend yesterday and it's still ten months away. (It's Acen btw, check out their website @ acen.org! It isn't updated yet, but who cares?)

Sess blinked as Kagome leaned closer against him. He watched
her numbly, his eyes a bright red color, and filtering
everything he saw. Kagome gently ran her fingers down his
chest before reaching the end of his shirt, where she slipped
her hand up his shirt. Sess sat there numbly for a second
before he fully realized what she was doing and what she
wanted. He turned slightly and glanced at her adoring gaze.
One hand went to the back of her head as he kissed her
fiercely. She threw her free arm around his neck and latched
it tightly as Kagome felt him slip his tongue in her mouth.
She quickly did the same as she ran her tongue gently over
his teeth, drawing blood as it reached his sharp fangs.

Her blood ran into Sess's mouth as he closed his eyes,
enjoying the slightly salty flavor. Kagome's other hand kept
on exploring his muscular body gently as his arm wrapped
around her back. His fingers shredded the material as his
claws ran gently along her back, being careful not to pierce
her soft skin. Kagome moaned as her other arm released his
neck and began to tug on his shirt, trying to lift it off.
Sess shredded his shirt carefully, much to the delight of
Kagome. She seemed much more eager to feel her body against
his because she did not try to squirm away or complaint as he
ripped off the front of her school uniform and cast it to one
side.

They broke the kiss and panted a little, their pink auras
fading away. Kagome gasped in pain and closed her eyes, one arm
still wrapped around Sesshoumaru's neck. She arched her back as
the last tinges of aura disappeared. She opened her eyes and
looked much more like the normal Kagome, who looked at
Sesshoumaru's face; smiled, looked lower at his chest; blushed
as her grin widened, looked down at her chest; and looked
confused. Kagome's blush darkened as she gently unwrapped her
arm from around his neck and shifted out of Sess's lap. Sess
blushed as well, the tips of his ears turning pink. Kagome
looked down, her hands grasping the front of her uniform to
pull the shreds together, covering her bra.

Kagome was the first to break the awkward silence that grew
between them, tasting the blood from her tongue as she spoke,
"What. just happened?"

Sess looked appalled as he asked, "You don't remember
anything??"

Kagome looked confused as she tried to explain, "I sort of
remember what we. almost did. but it wasn't my choice and I
couldn't control what part of me was doing."

Sess blinked, casting his eyes downward as he picked up his
trench coat and shirt off the ground. "I had better go then.
I'm obviously the only one that feels this way." He stood and
reached up for the edge of the well, his fingers just being
able to graze the wood. Sess prepared to pull himself up
swiftly, feeling that the wood was not too stable as he set
both feet to the side of the well in preparation.

Kagome blinked as she impulsively grabbed the edge of
Sesshoumaru's jeans. She held him there with both hands, her
school uniform forgotten. "No. Please don't go. it's not that I
don't feel that way; I'm just not ready." Sesshoumaru glanced
down and opened his mouth to say something as he felt the wood
give way, extracting with it a large amount of dirt and rocks.

He fell backwards, turning to leap towards Kagome to protect
her from the rocks. He winced as he landed and the debris
pounded on his back. He looked down at Kagome, who was staring
at him with tears in her eyes. Sesshoumaru blinked as the tears
started to silently run down her face. Kagome looked at
Sesshoumaru, and for some reason knew at that instant that he
would die for her. He had once again saved her and seemed like
a knight as he crouched over her. The lack of shirt
significantly enhanced the experience and she could not resist
a small smile through her tears. Sesshoumaru looked confused
but leaned down lower and licked the tears from her cheeks,
whispering into her ear, "Please don't cry. I will be here as
long as you want me to be."

This sent Kagome into a fresh wave of tears as Sesshoumaru
moved his head and slowly began trailing kisses along her
shoulder, leading up to her neck, as he had done in the well
before the duel. Kagome laughed as he moved along her neck and
threw her arms around his neck, causing him to lean back up and
lift her with him. She giggled again as he kissed her, causing
her chuckles to fade away.

A thud nearby them caused them to look up and notice Inu Yasha.
He seemed to have changed, especially around the eyes. They
bore a faintly haunted expression as he absorbed the scene in
front of him, including the tattered clothes. Sesshoumaru
narrowed his eyes and looked calm as he asked, "What is it,
brother?"

Kagome felt awkward as she hung from Sesshoumaru's neck but she
knew she would feel more awkward if she released her grip. Inu
Yasha growled as he gritted his teeth to say, "I hope you and
your wench enjoy the time you have left with each other, since
it will not be long. I will kill you brother, and it shall not
be a quick death."

A gasp came from Kagome at the word "wench" but Sesshoumaru's
eyes grew a shade colder as he said, "I advise you to watch
your mouth, brother. I shall not warn you again." Sesshoumaru
casually looked down at Kagome and he asked, "Dear, do you
think we need a half-demon servant later?" Kagome chuckled as
she nodded her head, a hint of maliciousness glinting in her
eyes.

Sesshoumaru smiled as he unwrapped her arms and gently laid
Kagome on the bottom of the well, handing her his trench coat
so that she could retain some level of dignity.
