Now for Chapter 4!

For the next few days Sesshomaru and Kagome did not exchange words in complete sentences but in short phrases. She tidied up and brung him what he wanted. She didn't mention the bird, it was a thing of the past. Kagome's trips outside stopped and she felt the urge to be free rise to the surface of her heart. She longed to breath the fresh air again and more so, she probably wanted to have him protect her like he always had. The feeling of being in his arms, the same arms that belonged to the person that constantly belittled her in the past. She was afraid and was unsure of him so instinct forced her to push him away.

Sesshomaru eyed Kagome as she tidied up his room not saying a word to each other. Sesshomaru stood up to his full height, so angry his eyes began to turn red.

"This has got to stop! What have I done? Why are you so mad? Did I do something? Tell me?"She looked at him and blushed her face turning red. She quickly turned her head away avoiding his penetrating gaze. He put a clawed finger under her chin and tilted her red face up to meet his. In a swift movement she found the prince kissing her. His soft lips tickling hers as he broke them apart.

"Why did you kiss me my lord? I am a servant in your eyes nothing more."she said looking away. He bit his lip anger growing. He clenched his fists and struck her cheek. It flung her backwards and she was surprised and afraid.

"Be that way! I've tried to show you haw important you are to me! You just push me away or shut me out!"Tears formed in her eyes a threatened to roll down her cheek.

"No! I'm a Human you're a Demon! Don't you see! No matter what are feelings may be we can never be together!"A single tear rolled down her face. He bent down to her, all his anger rushing from his body. He went to touch her face with tender emotion but she knocked it away angrily. "No! Don't you understand!"He smiled and touched her hand laying on her lap.

"I understand were different races, but it doesn't matter. . . . . . ."She shook his hand off of hers.

"No! You think Yourkais are superior to humans and half demons! I will not surrender myself to someone who does not treat my like an equal!"She stood and ran from the room, head in her hands. Sesshomaru could smell the salt water fall from her face.

"Kagome. . . . . ."

She ran upstairs and into her bedroom throwing herself on her bed. Tears flowed freely and were no longer held back. She buried her head in her pillow and screamed. She screamed for all her losses and her confusion. For all her pain, her suffering. She looked up as the door creaked open and who stood there was not who she was expecting.

"Sango!"She rushed into her friends arms and greeted her. She smiled, she had not had a chance to see her friend in some time. She embraced her friend and led Sango into her room. They sat on the bed and smiled at one another.

"You were crying. What happened?"She asked wiping a tear from her friend's cheek, that's when she noticed the mark. "Spill Kagome! What did that jerk do to you?"she touched her cheek and it stung. "He lost his temper. Not that big of a deal." Sango looked to her friends with concern.

"He's a monestrous jerk!"Kagome shook her head. He may have been rough on a few occasions but he was never a monestrous jerk.

"No, he's very caring and kind. He wanted to have a relationship with me."Sango shrugged.

"So what's the problem?"Sango said placing her gentle hand on top of Kagome's.

"He's a demon. Also he thinks he's my superior and I couldn't give myself to that kind of person."A newfound pain had resurrected itself in her beating heart. It began to suffocate her heart, slowly engulfing it in the shadowed abyss.

Meanwhile. . . . . .

Sesshomaru watched the scene from his enchanted mirror left to him by his father. He saw how upset she was and longed to be Sango at that very moment. To embrace her and love her. To comfort her and reassure her. It was then that he realized his place was by her side, and that's were he was going to be.

Back with Kagome. . . . .

She heard the door knock and watched as the door slowly opened. A figure dressed in all white came into her room.

"Kagome. . . . . . ."He said quietly.
