Topazia: Sorry! I had hell loading this chapter. It took me forever to get back to my computer. I was starting to forget what it looked like...

Warnings: well...if you don't like the idea of reading anything containing sex skip this chapter and I'll post as soon as the feeling comes back to them. I haven't exactly been in a fluffy mood lately so this might not be as good as it could have been... Oh and Kagome's really OOC...more than usual. Be afraid be very afraid.

Chapter Sixteen: Moon Watching...

Kagome sighed, stretching and turning her head to check on Shippo, who had curled up at her feet. He was snoring slightly and she couldn't help but giggle at how cute he was. Rin had also curled against her, muttering in her sleep every now and then. She had never expected to be this good with children!

She groaned softly leaning forwards to prompt her head on her knees. She couldn't sleep. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't do it. The kiss from yesterday still haunted her dreams. He had been so gentle with her, not demanded like she expected him to be, hell, she didn't expect to be kissed at all! This was all so...new...

Maybe a little walk would help to calm her down. The garden sounded nice, the soft sounds of the flowing water and the little fish from within would eventually loll her into a peaceful sleep. Nodding to herself she gently pushed back her covers and slid out of bed, going to her wardrobe to grab a midnight blue robe before silently sneaking out of the room and closing the door behind her.

The halls were empty, the torches lined along the hall flickered dimly as she went and she suddenly wished she had stayed in bed. Walking alone like this reminded her of some old horror movie that ended in a dead in hallway and a poor defenseless girl screaming as her stalker cornered her.

Of course she was just letting her imagination carry her away, there was nothing in this old place that would hurt her and this was nothing like the horror movies she'd watch. She felt perfectly welcome here.

A small blush crept across her face as she found her mind wandering back to the kiss her and Sesshoumaru shared. "Great, I'll never get that out of my mind at this rate. I can't believe this!" she sighed in frustration, turning the corner with the large doors that led out to the garden. "I'm falling apart over a stupid kiss! This is so stupid..." she pushed open the doors, her blush deepening when a small voice in her head muttered. 'But...still...you can't deny you didn't like it. You melted like ice in his embrace...'

Great, now she was fighting with herself, it was bad when your own mind went against you. That was the last thing she needed right now. Maybe she just needed to relax, like Sesshoumaru suggested. A lot has been going on.

She smiled slightly, walking over to her favorite fountain and sitting on the edge of it and playing with the water, stirring the sleeping fish in the process. One by one the small fish would float of towards the surface and nip at her fingertips or brush by her with their fins.

She yawned to herself, feeling sleep starting to take over. It was peaceful out here. The only sounds audible was the large fountain she was sitting one, a few crickets, and an occasional croak from a nearby frog. Smiling softly she traced her fingertip along the side of a fish causing it to jump and streak away.

Suddenly she didn't quiet feel like herself. She felt fine, but just...different. Kagome looked down at her reflection, her smile fading when the image of Kikyo stared back at her. When would she change back anyway? She couldn't stand looking this way. She missed Kagome smiling back up at her, not this dead bitch... "Oh well...if I don't change back, I guess I could just get used of being like this." She sighed and turned her gaze skyward.

(A/N: Don't worry, she won't stay like that...no one deserves to be tortured that much. Except for maybe Inuyasha and Kikyo)

The clouds parted slowly, bathing the area in a warm, peaceful light. Kagome stared up at it in wonder, so beautiful...full of mystery... It just seemed to have this effect on people and they almost seem transfixed by it's grace. She sniffed the air slightly as a familiar sent drifted her way. It was coming from the lake. She paid no attention to the fact that she was following a scent like a curious pup, but instead listened to her instincts. All she knew was that she wanted to be near this scent, she had to be close to it.

Kagome walked forwards slowly, coming to the steps and slowly descending them, stopping at the bottom one. Her attention was on the lake, which gave off an eerie glow. Along the bank several articles of clothes had been discarded and lay neatly on the grass, a sash, a sword, white robes, and black boots.

She smiled slightly as her eyes traveled to the owner of them. Sesshoumaru sat a few feet away from his things along the bank of the lake. His feet were submerged in the cool water, soaking the bottom of his pants. His left leg lay straight; disappearing into the lake while his right was prompt up, his arm draped over it lazily.

Kagome stared in awe; the light from the moon seemed to only add on to his beauty. The pale skin of his bare chest glistened softly, giving him an unnatural glow and his hair clung to his back, heavy and dripping with water. He sat there, as still as a statue staring out at the calm surface of the lake, only moving his feet, creating small ripples in the process. He froze suddenly, pushing some of his hair behind his ear and turning to face her. He looked slightly surprised, his eyes half lidded and his lips slightly parted.

Kagome stared back unable to move. She hadn't expected him to notice her! 'Well aren't you smart? Of course he'd know you were there! He's a demon!' "What are you doing out here?" she shook her head, the question catching him off guard.

Kagome shrugged, walking forwards and stopping at where his things lay. "Well, last time I checked you let me stay here. Has that changed?" she quirked an eyebrow at him, letting curiosity take over. What was he doing out here anyway.

"That's not what I meant..." he stared at her for a while, that same dreamy expression on her face.

"Moon watching..." she half lied. Her eyes traveled to the little moon marking on the demon's head. It was cute in a way, of course she'd never tell him that. "Are you feeling okay? You look funny." She knelt besides him, placing her palm on his forehead. He felt okay.

"I'm fine..." he mumbled frowned as he swatted her hand away. She was the last thing he wanted bothering him right now. "Just go back inside...rest."

"Bullshit, you're not getting rid of me that easily." The miko huffed. She sat next to him, following the youkai lord's example and dipping her feet in the cool water. She noticed that he shifted uncomfortably next to him but said nothing. "I couldn't sleep...so I came out here." She added.

He said nothing, but turned away from her to stare out at the lake again. This was something that pissed her off greatly, but she kept silent. Why was he ignoring her? Wasn't he kissing her only a day ago? She sighed softly, inhaling the sweet night air, blinking softly when a strange scent filled her nose. It was him, but different. Maybe it was something he was wearing? No...she smirked softly to herself. 'So that's why he's ignoring me.' Well if Fluffy wanted to play hard to get, then she would too...ten fold!

She yawned softly, leaning back on the soft grass on her elbows. Sesshoumaru turned at the nose and stared at her for a bit. Watching as her robe slid softly off her right shoulder. He waited for a while to she if she'd fix it, but she made no move to and instead seemed to be ignoring him, him of all people! "Something wrong Fluffy?" she asked playfully.

He growled softly at the nickname, shooting her a death glare that dared her to call him such a name again. She didn't back down though but instead reached up and buried her face into his silk like hair, causing him to stiffen slightly. "What's wrong Fluffy, you scared of wittle Kagome?" she whispered tauntingly.

"You're pushing your luck wench." The youkai growled menacing. Who dare she taunt him like this! As if that blasted moon wasn't giving him enough hell! She was deliberately touching him...the sneaky devil.

Kagome chuckled softly. "Wench? Is that all I am to you now? Honestly...you and your brother have many things in common, like being illiterate when it come to forming words..." He got up and turned her back to him, stretching a little.

Sesshoumaru frowned. So, his brother had taken her after all...now matter. She was his now and there was no way she was going to get away, not after a comment like that. He stood and grabbed her arms, spinning her around so that she faced him. "There's one thing that I do that my idiot brother will never manage to learn..." he gave her a sly smirk and she suddenly felt less confidant around him.

Those yellow eyes bore into her and she knew she couldn't move, if Sesshoumaru really wanted something there's not much chance of you getting away... "What's that?" she asked, her voice coming out in a small squeak.

"The full moon is something I dread...it is when our kind go into heat." Kagome shifted again, knowing she wasn't going anywhere. She remembered back when the full moon shone in the sky back when she traveled with Inuyasha, how sweet he was and how close he was to her while he slept...so close... "You've pushed my buttons so now...it's my time to push yours."

He raised her chin with on of his clawed hands lowering his lips to hers in a soft kiss. Kagome's eyes widened at the soft touch and she melted into it, opening her mouth to let his tongue inside. It was a trill she'd never grow tired of and she was enjoying every moment of it.

Sesshoumaru's hands had left her arms and now rested on her waist, pulling her near. He loved the feel of her near him. He'd show her, he was nothing like that worthless hanyou...nothing. He smirked to himself as he ran his tongue along the roof of her mouth, receiving a soft moan from the girl. She'd learn once and for all that playing with fire would get her burnt...severely.

Kagome broke away from him and pulled him into a sitting position, crawling into his lap in capture his lips again. She didn't know what possessed her to do so, nor did she know she had the courage all she knew was that she wanted more.

The youkai lord allowed her to have her fun for a while, letting her think she was in control until he left her lips, trailing down to her neck in butterfly kisses. She arched against him, rocking softly and he released a moan of his on. If she kept this up he wouldn't last long, not to mention this chapter would be cut short resulting in pissed off reviewers. So he picked her up and laid her down on back, pinning her hands above her head, his hair falling about him in a soft curtain of silver.

Kagome pouted softly, attempting to arch against him. He chuckled softly at her failed attempt, trailing his finger down her chest resting at her waistline, and the lie for her robe. She stared up at him expectantly, her eyes growing wide when he brought his clawed hand down upon her, slicing the outfit in one clean swipe. "You bastard! That was new! How dare you!"

He smirked at her, lowering himself towards her face, letting his warm breath tickle her ear. "You talk to much..." She moaned again, arching against him as he nibbled at her neck, growling softly.

Sesshoumaru froze suddenly stopping his movements to stare at her. The scent of demon flowed from her, something else to drive him wild. But why? She was human...he'd figure it out later, besides it was probably just his imagination.

He traveled down to her breast taking one his mouth and sucking it gently. He released her hands from above her head, moving his fingers to trail teasingly up and down against the bare skin of her side. She wiggled beneath him, arching and twisting under him while he nibbled away at the sweet skin of breast.

Kagome clawed at the ground as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. It was almost strange when she thought about it. When this all started she would have never seen herself lying beneath Sesshoumaru in the middle of the night while she as torture to no end... She felt his tongue dart into her belly button teasingly and she whimpered, begging for release.

"Aren't you enjoying yourself? Don't tell me I haven't been doing a good job."

"Damn I hate you." the miko hissed.

The demon cocked his head to the side, an amused look playing on his face. "That's...not the way to get what you want Kagome...you have to ask."

"I have to what?" she squeaked. Of all the perverted things! He wanted her to beg? "I refuse to stoop so low!" She hissed.

Sesshoumaru smiled down at her again, trailing his finger down along her waistline and she once again shivered, cursing herself for responding. "I don't know what's worse...leaving you like this or continuing."

"I'm going to seriously hurt you if you don't..." she trailed off, a blush trailing across her face. 'Don't do what Kagome...?' She muttered another soft string of curses and turned away, her hands crossed over her bare chest. She could always walk away...couldn't she? Of course she could."

"What? What was that?"

"I said I'm going to bed!" Kagome slid herself from under him, picking up what remanded of her nightclothes and covered herself. She'd just take a quick bath and then sneak bath into bed.

She turned and walked away, freezing when his arms snapped out to grab her, pulling her to the ground. She shifted uncomfortably under him, his piercing yellow eyes stared at her hungrily, a sign that he had had enough of playing for one day. So much for being able to leave...

Topazia: I know that was a super wrong place to end and you probably want to kill me now but I had to end it! If I'd continued this would never be posted. And besides, it's kinda hard to type when you gotta memorize at least five sheets of music in two days for a test...and...I'm hearing drums. I've officially lost the little bit of mind I possessed!

Next Chapter: for once I don't have a name yet.

I think it's about time for things to start falling into place, don't you? I'm sure many of you have questions about a lot of strange happening in this story. I just got to figure out how to word it. ^^' Well Let's just say Naraku's evil plan of doom and other bad things will be revealed.

Oh! And something to think about what would Inuyasha do if he found out about Kagome and Fluffy? And how far would Kikyo go to make sure her favorite demon stays hers and hers alone? Is Kagome really turning in a demon like most of you are thinking? We'll see!
