Thanks for all the reviews. And i only update once in a while because sometimes my internet does'nt work and so I can't update it. Sorry for that. Ok here are some answers to the reviews. yes I know its spelled concubine but once again sorry, I type fast so that I can update when ever my internet is working. And second, when I said make up, I meant eye shadow, lip stick, blush, so on. Sorry I should have explained that better. And lastly, Clover, I so don't think your wierd, and I'm glad you like my story. ^-^, I feel special.

Disclaimer- Why do we even have these things when we all know that we don't own Inuyasha.

Deep in my heart

I'm feeling frozen scared

You left a wound to heal

In my heart.

"KAGOME ANSWER ME!" Inuyasha grabbed her arms and shook her violently.

"I CAN'T LOVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE SESSHOMARU!" She screamed. He immeaditly let her arms go as she ran down the hallways crying. Sesshomaru was, well....suprised.

*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**Chapter7-You love me?~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~*

'God, He knows! Sesshomaru knows I love him!!!' She ran down the hallways. She turned the corner when some one grabbed her waist and held her on the spot. Her nose filled with the sweet masculine smell and she immeadilty knew it was Sesshomaru. She sank to the floor and sobbed in his arms. He gently turned her head towards him. "Is what you said true?" He gently asked. She shook as another sob went through her body. "Hai Sesshomaru...I love you." Her voice cracked as another sob went through her body.

'She loves me? Is that why she said she would willingly give herself to me? But just last night she said thaat she was'nt over Inuyasha?" He thought. "Kagome, what are your feelings for the hanyou?" He asked, tightning his hold on her waist. "Inuyasha?" He nodded his response.

"I....I'm not really sure how I feel about him." She paused for a moment. " I think I'm....in love with both of you." His heart cracked at the thought of her loving Inuyasha but he gained hope when he realized she had said that she also loved him.

He stayed silent, rocking back and forth to calm her. She lightly pushed against his chest and intently stared at him. "Sesshomaru-sama, do you feel the same way as I do for you?" She asked.

He gently cupped her face with his hands. "Kagome ai shiteru." He wrapped his arms around her and held her closely. After a moment she pulled back, her hands resting on his chest. "Sesshomaru can you please give me time to decide who I love more?" She asked hopefully.

"That is fine with me, do you wish me to tell that hanyou?" He said the word hanyou bitterly as if it were something vile, yet he spoke the words with a type of tenderness directed only towards her.

"Yes please, I would like that." He helped her stand on her feet. " I think I will resign to my quarters for today, is that okay?" She asked and he nodded his mask firmly in place, it had slipped a bit when he had held her crying form in his arms. He turned around and walked down the hallway, towards the others location. 'What will I do?' She stared at his retreating form before resigning to her chamber.

*********With the gang(during the time that Sesshomaru was with Kagome*********

After Kagome had run off, Inuyasha had stood there staring in disbelief. Sango and Miroku just gaped. 'Kagome...' His heart called out to her. Had he lost her because of his stupidity? NO! He refused to think he had lost Kagome, his Kagome. He loved her and he knew she loved him. His heart broke into a million pieces since he knew deep inside, he had truely lost her. Lost his love just how he had lost Kikyo.

"Inuyasha...." Sango put a comforting hand on his arm. "What did I do to deserve this pain?"He asked, mostly to himself as the tears welled in his eyes. "Oh, Inuyasha!" Sango gave him a sisterlt hug and Miroku patted his back.

Sesshomaru turned the corner and walked towards them. He stopped right infront of Inuyasha and stared down at his half brother. "Kagome wishes to tell you that she loves us both and that she asks for time to organize her thoughts and feelings." Sesshomaru spoke coldly.

"How much time does she need?" Inuyasha asked.

"As much as she needs."

Inuyasha walked closer to Sesshomaru so that they were only inches apart. "I won't let you have her." Inuyasha spoke with a determined voice.

"And I will not back down, so you might as well know you have yourself a challenge." Sesshomaru said then before Inuyasha could retort Sesshomaru cut him off. "I have other things to tend to now, a servant will come and escort you to the rooms that you will be staying in during your visit here." He briskly walked off.

As promised a servant came and took each of them to their rooms.

************

Kagome layed on her bed. 'Think, how can I choose?' She groaned and smashed her head into her pillow. 'Its too hard to choose!!!' She stood up and paced the room. Then an idea popped into her head. 'Maybe I should make a list of the good things and bad things about each of them?' She opened her night table and took out a piece of parchment and quil and began scribbling:

SESSHOMARU

Good points Bad points

Nice Always wears an emotional mask

Sexy Thinks he's boss

Caring Scary when he's mad

Sexy

has never hurt me

sexy

Did i mention sexy?

cute ears Uses me as a replacement for Kikyou

She stared at the piece of parchment before growling in frustration. 'Great, they both have equal qualities!' She crumpled the parchment and threw it at the wall. "Guess I'm going to have to trust my heart to guide me." She walked out into the balcony, the moon once again causing her to glow. ''Trust in my heart..." She whispered the words into the wind.

********************

Sango and Miroku sat on the bed, holding Shippo, staring at Inuyasha who was sitting on the window sill. "Inuyasha, you okay?" Sango asked calmly. He stared at his hands, his bangs covering his face. "I will win her heart back, I swear will." He spoke without turning to look at her. "And if you can't?" Miroku asked.

"If I can't...then I will be happy with whom ever she chooses." Inuyasha said with a tinge of sadness that made Sango flinch.

**********************

Sesshomaru sat on his chair in his dimly lit office, staring at any random wall. 'What if she does'nt choose me?' His mind asked him.

'Can I possibly live with out her? Of course you can! But the true question is, do you want to?' He felt weak, love was a weakness, and he of course had the great luck to fall in love with a human!

The office door opened slowly. "Sesshomaru-sama?" A small voice spoke from the door way. "Rin, you should not be up from bed, you are still ill." He picked her up and carried her to her room. As he was tucking her in she asked, " Sesshomaru-sama can Kagome be my mama?" Rin asked.

"Maybe Rin, maybe." He said then turned off the light and shut the door.
