'Damnit, now where is she?' Ok this time he wasn't as pissed that she was out of bed. This time he hated the fact that he had fallen asleep and the little vixen had snuck out of the room without so much as stirring him. 'Since when do I sleep that heavily? Surely I would have felt her leave.' He let his nose lead him to wherever the silly girl was as he wondered if he was going to have to drag her back to bed kicking and screaming.
He took a left and ended up in the hall where he had Soramiru put Kagome's friends. 'She better not be with that hanyou.' Soft chatter came from the door that her scent stopped at and he paused. Her scent mingled with that annoying kitsune and someone else he didn't recognize.
"Sango-chan I'm scared. What if he doesn't feel the same? It'll be just like the Inuyasha ordeal all over again." Kagome's voice sounded stronger than before and her scent smelled a whole lot healthier.
"But you love him?" Sesshoumaru cringed. It was her…the exterminator. He had this sneaking suspicion that she had it in for him. If Kagome was talking to her about it then she just might have a chance to change her mind. He moved to open the door but what he heard next froze him.
"More than I loved Inuyasha." He almost snarled. He couldn't believe she had loved Inuyasha. That damned hanyou. He could feel the beginnings of anger boiling in his stomach.
"Kagome-okasan does he love you?" The little kit asked innocently.
Kagome gave a deep sigh. "I don't know. I don't think so. I mean he really gives me little proof except that he can actually stand my presence and believe me that's a big feat with him." Again he paused. Did she really think of him that way…better yet did he really come off that way? Yes, duh that was a stupid question. Of course she felt that way, that's the only way he had been to her. Again he cringed.
"Don't worry Kagome-chan. I think he returns your affections. I wouldn't say love but he does care for you. You should have seen the way he handled you when he got you back from Naraku." This time he was surprised. She was actually encouraging Kagome to believe in him?
"Yeah Kagome-okasan! He was all protective of you, even wouldn't let me near you. Your own kid!" He heard Kagome give a small chuckle.
"You're not really my kid." He heard the kit take a breath to protest but Kagome went on. "Sesshoumaru doesn't know that I've practically adopted you. He was just trying to help."
"But he wouldn't let me see you." Sesshoumaru almost rolled his eyes. He hoped the kit didn't always whine like that. He heard a muffled "Sorry" come from the room. He peered into a crack in the door and almost sighed at being reduced to eaves dropping. Kagome was cuddling the kit to her chest. Again the anger boiled. The kit was getting his scent all over her, his Kagome.
"So what are you going to do now Kagome-chan?" Again a heavy sigh.
"I guess I'll just leave. There's only a few shards left and after that I can just go home and forget about Naraku and Inuyasha and…try…to forget Sesshoumaru." That's it. He'd had enough.

Sango, Kagome, and Shippou jumped at least three feet in the air as the door was ripped open and a VERY pissed off Sesshoumaru had started striding dangerously into the room. He stopped right in front of Kagome and stared down at her. Shippou suddenly jumped away and into Sango's arms for safety.
His face was calm. The calm before the storm. Suddenly he grabbed her arm and yanked her up, pulling her out of the room. She stumbled after him as fast as she could all the while trying to convince Sango and Shippou that she was ok.
"I'll be alright guys. Sango-chan could you take Shippou to Rin? She's in the garden." Sango hesitated but Kagome gave her the 'I'll be fine' smile then Sesshoumaru jerked her down the hall and toward his room again. When they were there he dragged her inside, slid the door shut then pushed her onto the bed. Again she shot up to glare at him.
"Seshou-mmpfh." She was about to ask what was wrong but his mouth was suddenly crushed against hers. She was so stunned at first that she just stared at him. He pulled away to meet her eyes. Her eyes went hard. "What the hell was that for?"
He sat down next to her, leaning against the back of the bed and ignored the question. He then pulled her on to his lap, her knees on either side of him. She put her hands on his shoulders to steady herself then frowned down at the golden orbs gazing intently at her.
"Gee. This seems familiar." She said dryly. "So…" She looked at him as if she were waiting for an answer.
His face softened suddenly and his arms wrapped around her waist. He lowered his head to nuzzle her neck and inhale her comforting scent. "Don't leave." His words were muffled by her skin against his lips. Tears formed in Kagome's eyes and her arms wrapped around his neck, hugging him closer.
"I wont." Then realization dawned on her. He had heard what she said. She hugged him tighter. "I'm sorry." A single tear slipped down her cheek. She felt so terrible. She had practically said she was going to leave and not say anything to him.
Sesshoumaru placed light butterfly kisses on her pulse then he flicked his tongue over it. He smiled when she gasped and goose bumps started forming on her skin. Her body was responding to his and their blood was already boiling. Her hands had moved from his neck to his chest and they were slowly working their way down. She knew what he wanted and it made his blood boil more that she wanted it as well.
She suddenly moved away and tugged at his shirt with a sly smile on her face. "Remove your shirt." He smirked up at her and her breath caught but she kept going. She leaned toward his ear and breathed into it. "Or I will remove it for you." She gently nibbled on his ear eliciting a sharp intake of breath from the taiyoukai.
He made no move to remove it. Kagome's smirk widened as she slowly moved his shirt off his shoulders. They both silently thanked the Gods that he hadn't worn his armor. Once she'd freed him from the top part of his ensemble she moved back a little to admire. Before she could do anything else he pushed her on her back and swiped at her kimono shredding it.
Kagome gasped. "Sesshoumaru!" She stared up at him wide-eyed as if she couldn't believe he'd done that.
"We will get you a new one." H bent down trailing hot kisses down her body. He moved away momentarily and when he was back his pants were gone. He hovered over her and started kissing her warm skin again.
She was scared. He could smell it in her scent as he positioned himself. He whispered on her neck, "I'm sorry."
