Eden-

As you all should know, I will be picking my favorite reviewer this chapter! WEE! Eh-hem, anyway, I think that it should go to... um... boy this is hard... RanmaYuusuke930!!! And Sora Chi, If you are reading this, don't feel discouraged, because I picked you too! So, I couldn't decide. I guess that the two of them will show up in my Truth Or Dare Show! Okay, well the rest of you are going to get mad at me if I don't hurry up and write the next chapter, so, ON WITH THE FIC!!!!

'She will make a most worthy mate...' Sesshomaru growled seductively as he thought one thing- let the games begin!

'Hmm... Sesshomaru is taking her on as his opponent- I think that I should send somebody down there so that she won't go in to heat without something to keep her mind on track.' Kaede looked at Sango with a mischievous smile.

Kaede smiled. "I need you to take a parcel to Kagome, just to be sure that those two idiots don't do something that they will regret later..."

Now

Chapter Fifteen

Kagome sighed as she played with her food. It had been only one week of training with Sesshomaru and already she was angry. How was she going to let her feelings and her training not intertwine?

Rin saw Kagome's battle with herself and decided to speak up. "Kagome nee-chan, what's wrong?"

Kagome looked up quickly. She didn't realize that she was being transparent. "Nothing is wrong, Rin-chan."

Rin smiled. "You are almost as bad a liar as Sesshomaru-sama."

Sesshomaru, who had been walking towards the dining hall, stopped at the sound of Kagome and Rin's voices. 'Maybe this little discussion could be enlightening...' Sesshomaru thought as he stopped outside the door, careful not to alert the two of his presence.

Kagome looked at Rin in a shell-shocked manner. "What could Lord Sesshomaru possibly lie about?"

Rin smiled. 'Perfect.' "Lord Sesshomaru and I were watching you battle and I asked him if..."

"That's enough Rin." Sesshomaru walked in to the dining hall with the heir of a god looming around him.

Rin and Kagome both stood respectfully and waited for him to sit down before regaining their seats.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Rin and I were just having a conversation. Please forgive us for speaking of you behind your back." Kagome said, not looking him in the eye while she made this apology. But Sesshomaru didn't have to look at her face to feel her blush.

"Please refrain from spreading behind my back, Rin." Sesshomaru said as he sipped the soup that was placed before him.

Rin nodded. "My apologies. But now that you are here I can tell Kagome that you are falling in love with her."

Kagome and Sesshomaru both choked on their food when Rin made this bold statement. Rin smiled at her work. Both of them were blushing fiercely and staring each other in the eye.

Rin giggled. "Don't worry, lord Sesshomaru, she loves you too."

This statement caused them both to blush even darker and stare at Rin, who had finished her soup and was skipping away giggling.

It was several minutes before they spoke.

Kagome was the first to speak after a long and awkward silence. "You know that what she said..."

"And you know what she said about me..." Sesshomaru stated.

Kagome and Sesshomaru both looked at each other and laughed nervously. Kagome continued to pick at her food. Sesshomaru saw this and couldn't help but ask his next question.

"But if what she said was true..."

Kagome blushed. "I... don't know, Sesshomaru. But it's not true, so let's just drop it, alright?"

Sesshomaru stood and walked over to Kagome. He stood right behind her and his breath tickled her neck. "She was right about one thing. You are a horrible liar."

Sesshomaru kissed Kagome's earlobe and smiled as he saw her tremble. "Are you cold, Lady Kagome? Allow me to warm you." Sesshomaru turned her chair so that she faced him and grabbed her arms and began to rub them.

Kagome refused to make eye-contact. "Lord Sesshomaru, is what she said true?"

Sesshomaru smiled lightly. "I don't know. It might be. It just might be..."

Kagome stood quickly, causing her to fall in to Sesshomaru's arms. They both felt a wave of electricity go through them, just like they felt every time that they touched. They stared at each other for a few seconds before they started to lean in to one another.

They got closer, and closer, and when they were mere centimeters apart, Sesshomaru looked away.

"I don't think this is love..." He stated as he let her go and walked away.

Kagome jut stood there for a few minutes before she started to cry. Sesshomaru had stopped on the outside of the dining hall and was leaning up against a wall. He heard her silent sobs and couldn't help but shake a little bit.

His demonic instincts told him to go in there and to tell her while the going was good. But he also knew that tricking her in to doing something like that wasn't right.

Kagome sat down and put her head in her arms and cried quietly. Some servants heard her and walked over to see what was the matter. She simply dried her eyes and told them that she was fine.

Sesshomaru got up and walked towards his study, refusing to look at Kagome when she past him in the halls.

'Why is she so perfect?' Sesshomaru thought as he tried to read a book on memory loss. But he couldn't read one line without his mind returning to Kagome. "Why can't she feel the same way?"

Sesshomaru was thrown out of his thoughts when he heard a small knock on his door. He didn't need his demon instincts to know that it was Kagome. He could feel her presence when ever she was around.

"Come in..." Sesshomaru said.

Kagome came in dressed as if she were going to go somewhere. Sesshomaru saw this and immediately shut his book.

"Where do you think you are going?" Sesshomaru demanded more than he asked.

Kagome couldn't look him in the eye. "I... need a little time away, just for myself. I will be leaving now. Don't come looking for me, you won't find me..." Kagome took off running with tears streaming down her face as she made this statement.

It took Sesshomaru a few seconds to process it, but as soon as he had he took off after her.

Kagome could feel Sesshomaru gaining on her and ran faster. Soon he was neck-and-neck with her and he grabbed her around the waist and pushed her against a wall.

Kagome struggled hard, but Sesshomaru was stronger than her. "Why won't you let me go!" Kagome screamed as she tried to break free.

Sesshomaru was infuriated by her, but he couldn't bring himself to let her leave him. "Why the hell would you want to go? Have I not given you ever thing that you need? Have I not showed you compassion and offered you a home while you trained? Have I not shown you consideration at ever god damned corner! Have I not shown you that I..."

Sesshomaru couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence. He saw that Kagome had stopped struggling and was simply holding her eyes shut so that she couldn't see him.

Suddenly Sesshomaru couldn't stand himself. He wished he was dead.

"Kagome, I..."

"No Sesshomaru! I don't want to hear it! I just want to go! Please, let me go!" Kagome screamed as she cried harder.

Sesshomaru gently put her down. "I'm, I'm so sorry Kagome..."

Kagome looked Sesshomaru in the eye and slowly stopped crying.

"Sesshomaru, I can't stay here. Not when..." Sesshomaru put his finger up to Kagome's lips and nodded slightly.

"If this is what you want then I can't let my feelings for you get in the way. I am sorry that I have caused you so much trouble, Kagome. Please forgive me." Sesshomaru walked away silently as he rebuilt his wall.

Kagome cried quietly as she sank to the floor. "I can't stay here. "

Kagome slowly stood despite her trembling knees and whispered goodbye as she left the castle.

Eden-

Okay, big tears. God dammit! I am way to sentimental. Okay, well I hope you enjoyed that and I will see you next chapter.
