Chapter 4: So this is me

After holding each other like that for what seemed like a lifetime, we separated and walked back into the castle holding hands. It was weird I never imagined Sess being so nice and having a side like this to him. From that point on we grew closer each day and he told me everything about his past. About his father, his mother, Jaken, Rin, you name it he told me. I also told him everything I knew about myself. Which is the basic I hate Inuyasha and kikyo, I miss Sango Miroku and Shippo, I live 500 years in the future, I broke the sacred jewel shard, everything. He is kind to me and shows his emotions around me and me only and let me into his life and I couldn't be happier about it. Also he has trained me and I almost beat him…I was so close! Damn poisoned claws…I want them…they really are an advantage…

I went into his study because I was summoned. I will say even though the two of us are friends he has a habit of summoning me at the wrong time. I was in the middle of teaching Rin and important life lesson: How to piss of a Youkai. Very valuable if you ask me…she was practicing on Jaken…I hate that damn toad…

"You rang"

"Yes, Inuyasha and his little crew have slipped into the western lands. Kikyo is with them just thought you should know."

I was completely silent and he noticed.

"Do not worry this Sesshomaru will not let Inuyasha or Kikyo find this castle. I will only let the Taijia, the Monk, and the kit pass into this castle and then I will send the troops to hunt down and ki-"

"No, let Inuyasha and Kikyo pass as well I have a debt to pay and if I don't succeed then you may gladly kill them yourself. I want to kill Kikyo with my own hands once and for all. I have reason to believe that she is trying to use Inuyahsa to her advantage against us and team him up with Naraku. He will do it to. He loves her too much not to. I think Kikyo is the mastermind behind this whole damn war and I want her dead so none of what I just said happens because if Inuyasha switches sides then…Naraku will surely win. Let them all pass Sess."

" Are you sure Kags I mean Kikyo will try and kill you and-"

"Yes let them pass and thank you for your concern but if I almost beat you in training and if you weren't holding back like you said I have also grown a lot and I also have an advantage."

"And what may that be?"

"I am alive."

"That you are."

"Is there anything else you wanted to say?"

"Yes come to my room after dinner I have something I want to show you, you may leave if you wish. I think Jaken has had enough and by the way How to piss off a Youkai will not be taught after today it you do not wish for Jaken to also want to kill you, although it is rather amusing to picture."

Before I knew it I grabbed his hand and made him get out of his chair and follow me.

"Now you don't have to picture it look."

Sure enough there was Rin beating Jaken to a bloody pulp just like I had told her to and Jaken cursing under his breath. I also saw Sess laughing. Flat out laughing and then in his eyes he felt sorry for the toad so I told Rin to stop. Jaken went back to doing his orders, Sess went back to his study, and I taught Rin math. Afterwards, dinner was served. I apologized to Jaken and we all ate in peace. Sess left early and I was starting to get nervous…

After dinner was over a servant escorted me to his room and I stood outside the door heart racing and face completely flushed.

"You may come in now if you like."

I forgot dogs have excellent hearing so he knew I was standing there for a good ten minutes contemplating whether or not to leave…damn him and his 6th sense or improved 5th sense.

When I walked in I thought I was going to faint. The room was covered in roses and there was a table with desert next to 3 candles on the outside balcony. The room smelt like roses and cinnamon and there was Sess next to the table on the balcony watching the moon. He seemed to be in a trace. I finally realized that he helped me get over Inuyasha; he helped me move on and open my heart back up to love. I realized that I loved him much more deeply than I ever loved Inuyasha. He was my night in shinning armor, my savior, and the one who held my heart, mind, body and soul without me even realizing it.

"Sess…it's…it's…beautiful!"

He turned towards me and you could see the blush on his face. Faint but there.

"Kagome, I wanted to tell you this and give you this before Inuyasha and Kikyo came…before I met you I was a cold, emotionless, mass murdering Taiyoukai who hated humans and life. But then I stumbled across you, you taught me to love again, to open my heart again, you showed me how to dream again and how emotions aren't a weakness but a strength, you Kagome helped me realize what a fool I have been for shutting myself off to the world and for that I will never ever be able to repay you for. Kagome in these short few months that you have been here I have come to accepted things that I thought I would never accept. Kagome in short you are my light, my guide, and you are the keeper to my heart. I love you."

I was completely speechless I started crying.

"What did I say something to hurt you, I am sorry I didn't know I would hurt I'm"

The next thing I knew I kissed him and held him tightly to me never wanting to let go of him.

"Shut up…you didn't do anything wrong I am just happy tears of joy and Sess? I love you too I truly do with all of my heart!"

We stared at each other and kissed again but with each passing moment the kiss became more passionate before I knew it his hand was underneath my shirt, rubbing my sides and I was to lost in paradise to have any idea what was happening. I needed air so I broke the kiss.

"Kagome will you do me the honor of being my mate?"

"Yes, I will be your mate."

He gave me a ring and then bit my neck marking me as his for the time being. It was complete until you actually mated but for the time being it meant I was off limits and I belonged to someone like an engagement.

"Kagome here it is armor. It is very lightweight and can be worn under anything. Wear this while they are here so you won't be harmed by anything you miss. I had it made especially for you. It blocks miko power, and all weapons, even poisoned claws. But any weapon infused with the shikon shard it cannot protect you against only give you warning."

"Okay, thank you so much"

We kissed again and then that night we slept in the arms of one another just enjoying the others presence for tomorrow they will be arriving.

The next morning I woke up feeling warm and I turned to see Sess staring at me. He kissed my forehead, then the bite mark then kissed me full on the lips. I have to admit I could get used to this.

"We have to get up they will be arriving"

"Has it dawned on you yet that you are the new lady of the western lands?"

When he said that all thoughts cleared my brain. I didn't think of it like that I was his, the new lady of the western lands free to order Jaken around and make his life a living hell YES!

There was a pounding on the door and Jaken came in and got kicked in the head by Sess.

"You little ungrateful toad! BANG Who told you that you could enter NO ONE BANG!"

"Please forgive this unworthy servant milord and lady but they have arrived and are waiting in the hall just thought I should tell you milord I will keep them waiting."

"Make sure Rin doesn't go down there now leave," he growled.

I died I laughed my ass off! We got dressed and headed towards the hall the moment of truth. Life sucks.

"Damn you Sesshomaru give Kagome back you asshole or I will be forced to kill you!"

Author's note: I updated twice in the same day because well I felt bad and I was really on a roll. I hope you liked this chapter as well!
