The Other Side of the Mirror

Chapter 21: Careful Kisses

(Last we left our husband and "wife", Kagome just told Sesshy that she wanted him to touch her...oooooohhhhhhhhhh! Here we go!)

He gently slid his arm around her. "I don't want you to see you afraid of my touch," he said softly. "I want you to be calm and happy. I want my touch to sooth and comfort you." He pulled her to him. "I love you, let me comfort you."

She kissed his cheek, "Please."

His hand, that was lightly stroking her cheek, slid behind her neck. He kissed her cheek. "I can still smell him on you." He kissed her again, "I can rid you of that scent..."

"How?" She asked as she closed her eyes to enjoy his kisses.

"Just like this," he could smell the fear draining away. "I only know to comfort you like this." He nuzzled her cheek like a puppy would it's master; "Demons don't have words. All we have are these motions. Please," he continued to kiss her as he leaned her back so that she was lying on the bed again. "I don't know how humans comfort one another, but this is how a demon comforts his mate."

He trailed light kisses down her neck.

Kagome's fists tightened around the cloth on his arms. "Sesshoumaru?!" The fear in her scent returned, with full force.

"Shhh," he touched her cheek lovingly. I wont hurt you. Its me. I *can't* hurt you." He pulled her up to better kiss her, "I love you." (The boyfriend-less me is screaming: "Damn! Why can't I be Kagome right now?!")

"I know you wont hurt me...but I'm still afraid...'

He kissed her lips, "Don't worry, you don't have to be afraid. I will help you conquer your fear." He slowly eased his hand into her clothing. She quickly broke the kiss and tried to squirm away. "Kagome," he whispered calmly, "I will not hurt you. Trust me." She nodded and again he started to kiss her. He let his hand gently glide over her skin, it made him furious when he felt the lines of dried blood that mapped where his brother had cut her. He slowly opened his kimono, tenderly kissing each inch of the newly exposed skin.

Her fear was fading again, being replaced by something he had not smelled in a while; arousal. He smiled; he knew she loved it when he teased her.

A/N: Heehee...don't I just always stop at the best parts? Haha! Well, I believe that the next chapter is where Inu-Yasha and Sesshy finally meet! Oh...it isn't very pretty...well, oh! I just got the entire 1st season of The Monkees on DVD! It is ssssssooooo funny! I love that show. Well, bowdees!
