Chapter 5: Remedial honey kisses

They had reached camp, sighting Miroku brushing crumbs off his clothes, and shoving a plastic container inside Kagome's bag. When Kirara had touched ground, Sango slid off her back, as she helped Kagome do so as well. "She might have a high fever, Miroku, she needs rest." Sango implied.

Kagome drifted to her bag, pulling out her sleeping bag, "Wait Kagome, there's a hut a couple yards away, lets go there so it's dry." Miroku instructed. Kagome paused, and then began rolling up her sleeping bag, and cuddling close to it, as she walked out into the open. "Lets go then." She mumbled. Miroku lifted her bag over his shoulder, and grabbed her arrows and bow. "Good thing we brought these along." He muttered.

As they walked, only silence kept the conscious mind awake. Kagome wanted to cry, she wanted to hide, she wanted to leave, she wanted die, but she wouldn't let it get to her. 'Inuyasha chose Kikyo. He chose her instead of me, I should be happy for him...but why do I feel so miserable?' Kagome let out a sigh, the hut came into view behind the boarder lines of trees. "There it is!" Shippo said out loud, "Race you guys!" Shippo grinned. Sango and Miroku glanced at eachother and grinned, "LET GO!" Miroku shouted, and the three of them ran to the hut, as Kirara paced after them calmly. Kagome strayed a distance, sensing another person nearby, "Sesshoumaru.." she breathed. She saw a glint of his eyes flashing at her in command.

She knew he wanted to speak to her alone just by the message he brought through his ember eyes. "I'll catch up with you guys, I'm going to go search for hot spring." Kagome called to the group that had tagged the hut, and stared back at her confused. "I guess she needs some alone time after what happened with Inuyasha." Miroku whispered to Sango. Shippo and Sango nodded their heads, and waved back at her in response. "Go ahead. Just be careful." Sango called back. Kirara shrank to her miniature size and followed Shippo inside, ready to watch him draw pictures with his new crayons.

Kagome strolled near the forest side, taking a deep breathe before entering the woods, she felt nervous, and her heart grip her fears, the back of her throat grew sore, and nothing but the feeling of a deeper sickness breathed into her skin. Kagome entered the woods, strolling deeper and deeper inside, she stopped short when she heard the sound of someone's voice from behind of her. "Stop where you stand human"

Kagome turned around slowly, seeing his features flush back memories of the dreams of the child within, of his father's brutal combat, of his feelings to protect Rin, of why he was so cold...She grew dizzy and felt herself collapse to the forest floor, growing cold herself, and wishing for warmth. Sesshoumaru saw this, and somehow his body lost his control and felt the need to comfort her, to hold her, to warm her flesh with the touch of his skin, her scent intoxicated his well being and felt dizzy himself. 'I have to kiss her, I have to take her pain away...NO I won't let her have me subdued to such a level, I'll make her suffer and die before I show any of my affections towards her, I won't let her have me...but why does her scent make feel this way...why does her nearness take me to suck bliss...why.." Sesshoumaru argued with himself in his thoughts"...why..."

Without realizing, Kagome fell to her knees panting, her fingertips growing cold, and her tears becoming the only warmth that could subside what she lost in Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru knelt down, not believing his commands of his body and slowly entwined Kagome with his tail and arms, holding her close, and hushing the ache that bruised her soul. She was being held now, being held by someone unlikely to show affection. He hated what was becoming of him, but somewhere inside of him, as if by a dream the child he once was, wanted to just hold her for a moment or two, knowing her pain, and demanded to comfort her. Demanding to give her every part of him, but his control outmatched it, and only held her, warming her skin, warming her sickness...

'That's it, she's sick because a human can't handle such a large ritual. Meaning, if I don't save her now, she'll die...and that's what I want, is to have that retched human die, and I won't have to bother no more....but what is this feeling, this demand from myself to hold her, and...to trust her...' Sesshoumaru thought. Her tears fell into his tail like a soft coat of fear. He held her tighter, as her crys grew deeper. He wanted to say something, but nothing. Nothing could he think of to warm her. She was getting colder and colder, and he held her tighter and tighter. "My dear sweet love,...kiss me...and your pain shall fade, your pain will be gone, and no longer will you feel such feelings again towards my half brother." Sesshoumaru whispered into her ear. The smell of vanilla intoxicating his senses, he wanted to kiss her deeply and admitting his acceptance, 'no, I can't no..why...no!' his thought shouted.

Kagome lifted her head from his tail, and stared deeply into his ember eyes, "You would do that for me?" Sesshoumaru sighed, wishing he took back what he said, and glanced at her with a glare. "Yes, if he hurts so much like this, then yes. I'll kiss you, and you will no longer feel sick like you are now. You'll no longer feel love for him, only kindness as usual." Sesshoumaru muttered, looking away from her, and nudging his tail away from her grasp. It wrapped around his shoulder once more, and waited for her response. He sat beside her now, her breathing enchanting his own. He wanted to taste her to feel her...to kiss her..

Kagome took a deep breath and squirmed, "ok, fine, let's kiss then." Sesshoumaru eyed her carefully, wondering curiously why she sighed so deeply. But he put it aside, and waited for her to make her own moves rather then him.

2 hours later

"So, um...that kiss...will we start or what?" Kagome questioned. Sesshoumaru glanced at her once more, finally agreed to accept what he said, and took a deep breath, "Fine let us do so." He murmured, and reaches for face, his claws just brushing her cheeks, as he stared lovingly into her eyes. He wanted to give her his heart, his soul his everything, he couldn't resist her; he...was now just like his father....

Erasing the thought from his mind, Kagome leaned in closer, arms outstretched around his neck, pausing, blushing, pausing, and blushing even more as he closed in further. 'oh my gawd, oh my gawd, and oh...my..." Kagome's lips touched the soft whispers of a lover's kiss, freeing her chains that bound her down to heartache, the taste buzzing in her flaws, she felt motionless. His kiss cratered her lips, just gentle and painless, as if he wasn't cold, brutal, and cruel. ...just as gentle and loving as a mate should be...she could feel his breathing, his hand stroke her back, as her fingers felt warm, and an emptiness of sickness gasped from her flesh...it felt like she was in a new body, not her own...yet she was...

When their breaths crossed paths into each other's mouths, the kiss grew deeper, his tongue nudging her lips apart, caressing her taste, such sweet vanilla that began to fill his lungs...his needs strengthened, his grasp upon her back tightened, clenching her shirt, and ready to tear it off by a blade of his nail. Kagome felt her body grow heat, desperate for more, she lifted her thighs upon his lap, growing into the kiss, wanting more of him...she couldn't breath but only his own. Sesshoumaru gasped from her lips, his grasp loosening and wrapping around her waist. His head fell to her breast, feeling a silk fabric covering her from the inside, Sesshoumaru gently nudged it with his nose, the nipple growing hard, he lifted her shirt from the front, as Kagome helped to remove part of her bra over her breast.

His tongue teasing the nipple till she couldn't resist, and devoured her nipple impatiently, heat growing up his spine and surging from his chest desireing more, he combed her back with his fingers, touching her skin was pure bliss...but how...how could such a human face his every desire. Before Kagome could take and more, she covered her breast again, Sesshoumaru releaseing, and waiting for her response of why he had to let go. "I can't, Sesshoumaru I'm...I'm too young...and I can't fool around like this. I'm sorry." Kagome muttered.

Sesshoumaru nodded his head, trying to breathe just as she desired to breathe. She released her thighs, and turned to sit inside his lap, letting him wrap his arms around her, and his tail to entangle her. "Don't let go,...please don't let go..." Kagome drowned out as she felt sleep take over her, and felt for once...complete in his arms...He held her tighter, sleeping along with her in his grasp, watchful for harm that would come near her..."I'll protect you...my beloved mate..." he whispered breathlessly into thin air....
