(SunMoon1285 enters the room with a Sesshomaru latched to her)

SunMoon1285: Okay, enough already!!! I made you happy!!! You got another kiss from Kagome

Sesshomaru: Yes.... But I want one from you.....

SunMoon1285: Right... Well Thanks a lot for your reviews and I really wanted to say that the last chapter was sooo hard to write since Sesshomaru, who is void of emotion, professes his love for Kagome. I will try my best to keep their characters and personalities intact (mostly) and keep the story as close to the plot as possible. Thanks again. (Runs away with Sesshomaru in close pursuit)

Chapter 11: Heart with Purpose

Kagome struggled against Sesshomaru's. She muffled pleas and tried to pry him away but his body kept hers in place. His hair fell in cascades mixing with her ebony tresses. Their lips collided and melded together as Sesshomaru tried to coax Kagome into returning his kiss with one of her own.

"Kagome... please..." he breathed into her lips, "I have been wanting you so bad... and I know that you feel the same way about me as well."

He lowered his head to her neck and suckled her, making her emanate a moan from her lips. He rose his amber eyes at her flushed face that was tearing him apart. 'Why is she so sad?'

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I can't... We can't... This cannot be possible... I have feelings for you Sesshomaru but... I just am not ready for this kind of intimacy... and also... I... I think your mark has something to do with it" Kagome replied.

Kagome widened her eyes at the sight. Sesshomaru smiled genuinely at her. His fair face glowed with warmth and affection that took her breath away.

"It is not the mark... I am sure of it... If it were I would have gone into my true demon," he said as he traced her cheek with his slender hand, "and of your fear of intimacy... I will wait for you until you are ready, but mark me... I want to mate with you soon" Sesshomaru promised.

"This is not right, Sesshomaru! First of all I am a human! You hate humans!" she countered at the taiyoukai.

"Quite right... but I am making an exception, as you noticed" Sesshomaru answered, "When are you going to stop lying to yourself about your feelings?"

"I don't know... I think I am going to bed" Kagome said.

"Very well, Kagome. Tomorrow I would wish to look around this 'world' of yours. I would like for you to be my guide" Sesshomaru said stoically.

"All right... Until tomorrow morning then..." Kagome said quietly as she shut the door leaving the demon to himself.

Kagome ran to her room. Her cheeks were flaring with crimson. She thought she liked Inuyasha but now some other love is overpowering that. Whenever she saw the Lord of the West smile or show a hint of emotion her heart raced with fire and wanting. She knew this was totally wrong. In a week their binding would disappear making them revert to their old differences. And he would kill her.

Kagome reached her room, opened and slammed the door shut and she crouched to the ground as tears flowed freely from her saphire depths. She wished that this conflict and mixture of feelings would just fade away. She wanted to be with Sesshomaru, but her old love towards Inuyasha and the shards were keeping her from getting closer to him. Just then... she thought of what Sesshomaru must've felt. An emotionless Lord who caused even the strongest men to tremble at his presence. He lost all his cold and ruthless aspects which had brought him power and courage... to her mating mark.

'How must he feel? He told me that I wasn't suffering alone... Oh gosh!!! How can he handle all this unknown feelings if he hasn't experienced one yet!!!' Kagome thought frantically as she went back to his room. She stopped short standing in front and knocked softly. There was no answer.

She opened the door quietly and saw the window open. She walked towards it and saw the still cloudless night with stars and crescent moon that decorated the sky. She looked at a nearby tree and saw Sesshomaru standing at its peak looking at the sky in a thoughful yet serious expression. She leaned forward trying to look closer at him.

"What is it that you want?" Sesshomaru said without turning his head to her. Kagome lost her balance from her shock and she fell through the open window. The next thing she knew... a white flash enveloped her and eased her on the tree.

"You are really... a mindless human" Sesshomaru said with a small smile as he kissed her on her lips. Her taste, her smell was making him grow impatient and wanting and need for more. He licked her lips trying to get her to consent. And finally, she gave in to him opening her mouth to meet his warm, soothing tongue. Their kiss lasted an eternity as he held her firmly as against him trying to kiss as deeply as he could into her. Slowly, he pulled away from her, noticing that she was quite out of breath. She took the palm of her hand and pressed her on her lips.
Sesshomaru bent his head on her neck and suckled on it slowly. Kagome blushed furiously at his action, 'What the heck is he doing?!? Is he doing a hickey?!?"

After a while he removed his lips from her neck and carressed the spot soothingly with his hand.

"Consider this as my mark... for now. It helps other demons know who you belong to" Sesshomaru explained.

"It's a hickey... and it'll fade away in a few days" Kagome teased him knowingly.

"Then I shall make another one... and another... until you are ready for me" Sesshomaru answered back with a smirk, "And know this Kagome, what I want I always get..."

Kagome looked with widened eyes at him as he looked at her with persistence and determination. Before she knew what happened, they were already at his room. Sesshomaru bent down and kissed her tenderly.

"Go and rest... remember of our previous accord to see your world" Sesshomaru said in a demanding tone.

"Good night" Kagome said quietly as she realized that with Sesshomaru is where she wants to be.

Kagome fluttered her eyes open as the morning light coaxed her to awaken. She looked around and thought groggily of what went on yesterday. 'Did Sesshomaru kiss me?', she thought as she went to look at the mirror. A small purple mark on her neck confirmed her thoughts. Her cheeks grew crimson at the thoughts that played on her head along with her memories of last night. She had her yellow bag all packed for them to leave after the sightseeing and she wore the green uniform she always wore. She looked at the mirror and looked dissatisfied with her appearance. 'Since when did I worry about my appearance?' Kagome thought as she took out a pair of jeans and a blue polo shirt from her closet and put the uniform in the yellow bag.

After she got ready she went down to see Sesshomaru dressed in black jeans and a white button shirt.

"Where's your cap?" Kagome asked.

"I threw it away... it was uncomfortable" Sesshomaru answered stoically.

"Well... At least let me cover your markings with my concealer..." Kagome said as she took out her concealer and slowly distributed it in his markings.
"This is unbearable" Sesshomaru said.

"Well... you have to get used to it... with your silver hair you are grabbing everyone's attention as it is" Kagome explained.

Kagome felt a little tug of sadness for she saw no emotion playing at him, even when they were alone. She wanted to see him like that night... to show her his feelings and love for her. But she thought it was too selfish of her.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked plainly.

"Nothing..." Kagome replied.

Sesshomaru looked at her for a minute and turned away grumbling about stubborn humans and their habits. They were walking for hours sightseeing dojos, shops, Tokyo Tower, streets and the theme park as Kagome tried to convince Sesshomaru that the cars, planes and every modern invention was not a possesed object. Sesshomaru's face was emotionless as always but his eyes held a look of curiousity, confusion and interest at everything that came on their way. Sesshomaru was so busy staring at a nearby ferris wheel on the theme park that he did not notice that Kagome was pulling him to go into a roller coaster. When the employee closed his safety bar he noticed and gave a growl. Just then the ride started and Kagome was laughing and screaming as Sesshomaru looked at her with a look of confusion. The rail was headed towards a mountain.

"K-K-Kagome is this ride a ride to our deaths!?!? We are going straight for that-" Sesshomaru stopped short as a flash of light flashed on him and the mountain opened to the end of the ride.

"That was fun!!! Wasn't it Sesshomaru?" Kagome said as he looked at a confused Sesshomaru poking at the roller coaster.

"This carriage is a carriage of hell..." he mumbled as people looked at him weirdly.

Kagome took his hand and pulled him to the exit where they saw the picture that was taken of them portraying at the screen. Kagome couldn't help herself but laugh at the sight. Kagome was looking at the camera giving peace sights with a smile on her face and Sesshomaru was looking with wide eyes and twisted yell as his hands were in front of him in a defensive way.

"That was not funny miko..." Sesshomaru mumbled seriously.

"I'm sorry..." Kagome said while drying some tears from her eyes from laughing so hard, "I have to buy that picture".

After they bought the picture they went straight to Kagome's house to collect her things and go to the well. Kagome put on her green uniform and Sesshomaru put on his usual attire and armor. They walked slowly towards the well as the sun was setting.

Suddenly, Sesshomaru stopped Kagome and kissed her on her lips urgently. He enveloped his arms around her as she returned his kiss eagerly. Slowly, they pulled back and Sesshomaru brushed away her hair to see his mark on her.

"Do not forget my promise to you Kagome... and do not forget that I am waiting for you..." Sesshomaru said as he took Kagome bridal style and jumped into the well.

SunMoon1285: I guess... their trip is over. I was having so much fun writing it... a few weeks ago I went to Disney World and I thought 'Why not let Sesshomaru have a taste of the modern roller coasters and rides'. Sorry for getting away from my usual plot but... it was sooo tempting

Sesshomaru: Not funny....

(SunMoon1285 gives Sesshomaru a peck on his cheek)

Sesshomaru: Feel free to do it anytime!!!

SunMoon1285: Please review and no flames... here's a preview of the next chapter

Chapter 12: Back Again with a different Heart

"I-I-Inuyasha!! What're you doing?" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha pressed her against a tree, "C'mon stop playing around... we have to get the shards"

"I can smell him on you!!!!" Inuyasha said seriously.

"I WAS with him for a few days... It's bound for that to happen" Kagome replied.

"Don't lie.... Stop protecting him!!! What happened to you!?!?! I thought you were mine!!! I thought you loved me!!!" Inuyasha said with a furious expression on his face.

"I did... but I got so tired of waiting for you to choose... that destiny made its choice for you" Kagome replied with tears falling from her face.

"Well... in that case... I will disrupt fate and make you mine!" Inuyasha said as he kissed her frantically.
