Chapter 11: The Kiss and the Departure

Kagome was the first one to wake up the next morning. She yawned, and rubbed her

eyes. Then she realized that Sesshomaru had his arm firmly wrapped around her waist.

She felt herself turn red, and her heart began to race. She managed to free herself from

his tight embrace, and stepped over Rin and Jaken, as she walked towards the lake. "A

good bath will do me good." She said aloud, to herself. She had worked up quite a sweat.

She hung her Kimono nearby on a tree branch, as she went to bathe. She dipped her toe

into the water, and slowly lowered herself, until the cool lake reached her shoulders. She

let out a happy sigh, thinking of Sesshomaru, and her newly found friends. She began to

hum a lovely melody, (Every Heart) as she rinsed her long silky hair.

Sesshomaru awoke to find that he was no longer holding the beautiful Kagome. He stood

up, figuring she went to bathe. He began to walk past the trees towards the lake. Just

then, he caught on to Kagome's lovely scent. He followed the smell of purity and

innocence in a daze, and then came across a beautiful melody. It was Kagome, she had

started off humming, but was now singing the song, Every Heart. He had never heard the

song before and immediately fell in love with it. He then pushed the tree branches away

to spot Kagome in the lake, happily rinsing her hair, singing cheerfully. "Kagome…" He

managed to say. She shrieked seeing him there. "Sesshomaru!" She cried, trying to cover

her body. "Calm down," He laughed, " The water is shielding you." "Oh," She said, a

little more relaxed, "Why are you here?" She asked calmly. "I heard your singing." He

replied, "…it's beautiful." She beamed at him. "Really?" She asked.

Just then a giant noise got their attention. It was a demon headed toward the camp. It

looked large, and Sesshomaru immediately worried about Rin, and Jaken. "Kagome!" he

said, firmly, "Stay here! I'll be back," He ran toward the demon, and began to draw the tetsujin.

Suddenly, Kagome's voice startled him. "Wait for me!" She cried, trying to tie her

Kimono. Sesshomaru stopped. "No." He said, " Go back to camp!" She wrapped her arms

around his neck. "Let me help?" She begged, "I don't want you to fight alone!" "It's

better off!" He yelled, "I can't afford to lose you! Now go back to camp!" Kagome began

to cry. "I can't!" She sobbed into his chest, clinging onto him even harder.

He gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. "Kagome…" He said, softly. He lowered his

head and kissed her gently on her lips. "Please go back to camp!" He repeated. She was in

a daze, and stumbled back to camp. Sesshomaru finally ran off after the demon. Kagome

finally made it back to camp, and told Rin and Jaken what happened. (Except for the kiss)

She was happy, and worried. She replayed the kiss over and over in her head.

He gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. "Kagome…" He said, softly. He lowered his head and kissed her gently on her lips.

'Focus, Kagome!' She told herself, 'Sesshomaru has been gone for practically the whole

day! Where was he?' She got really frightened when the moon began to rise. She grabbed

her arrows. "That's it!" She told Rin and Jaken, "Wait here. I'm going to find

Sesshomaru!" They looked shock at her concern. She ran off into the woods.

Rin looked at Jaken and asked, "Jaken, why has Sesshomaru been acting really different?

He's more pleasant to be around." Jaken got annoyed by Rin's stupidity, "Haven't you

caught on yet, Rin?" He asked, slightly bumping her head with his staff, "Unfortunately, Lord Sesshomaru loves Kagome."

Rin rubbed the spot where Jaken had hit her. "Why is that unfortunate, Jaken?" She

asked. He sighed, getting more annoyed, "Because, Rin, when people fall in love, they lose their senses," he told her, "He will soon forget all of our plans, and possibly even forget us!" Rin had a worried look on her face. "Oh…" She replied.
