Chapter 7

From the eyes of another

Sesshoumaru awoke to the light of the sun shinning down upon his normal emotionless face. He blinked a few time's letting himself adjust to the bright rays of light shinning in his eyes, those beautiful amber eyes that could even put shame to the golden sun itself.

He sat up swinging his legs off the bed. Turning his head to look behind him Sesshoumaru looked at the sun one more time trying to determine what time it was by how high the bright golden sun was in the sky. Sesshoumaru realized the sun couldn't have been up for more then a hour.

Sesshoumaru stood up and walked over to his closet door's and opened them. He looked threw his closet and noticed a large amount of very detailed silk kimono's hanging in his closet. Sesshoumaru scanned over all of them briefly before a light blue kimono caught his eye it had a silver pattern on it like ice when cracked the silver lines covered the whole kimono.

Brushing a few strands of silver hair out of his flawless face he removed hisblue silk PJ pants replacing them with the kimono he had picked out. Shutting the wooden closet doors he stood there for a moment 'since the others are not up yet I should probably wake Kagome so we can begin…'

Sesshoumaru walked into the bathroom stopping to look at it. Not but two short weeks ago this room was just a big tub in the floor and now. There was rocks built up to make a small waterfall in the corner and bushes around the tub and some large smooth rocks in and around the sides making it look like an actual hot spring.

He looked back towards his current destination and walked to Kagome's door and opened it walking into his mothers room was unusual… seeing all of his mothers possessions around and out in the open.

It wasn't bad Sesshoumaru didn't mind Kagome using his mothers possessions like he thought he would. Sesshoumaru actually like it seeing it out and being used instead of collecting dust in this room with Kagome there it brought a sort of new light to the room like it was alive like the light it used to have when his mother lived here. Sesshoumaru walked to Kagome's bed.

Kagome was soundly sleeping just like how he left her last night when Kagome fell asleep on his shoulder he smiled to himself.Sesshoumaru thensaw his mother's necklace laying so gracefully around her neck and even tho she had a few strand of hair across her face or in her mouth and even tho she had a bit of drool on the side of her mouth she looked perfect.

"Wake up" Sesshoumaru spoke with a demanding voice but he wasn't loud.Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she glanced around before locking gaze with him. As Kagome rubbed her eyes she spoke to him "did you need something Sesshoumaru" "You are to teach me"

Sesshoumaru watched the annoyance flare in Kagome's eyes "It's way to early Sesshoumaru." Kagome groaned in annoyance "I want to go back to sleeeeeeepp" she wined. Sesshoumaru watched her facial expression's change and then suddenly they lit up.

"I have a great idea Sesshoumaru! I want to sleep and you want me to show you to care for someone…well in order todo thatfirst you need to get close to the person and learn to be comfortable around that person even when you to are ..oh lets say laying down together for instance!" she chirped.

Sesshoumaru really didn't see the point in this but seeing her eyes light up like that he caved in some times he swore Rin made him soft "alright" Sesshoumaru said 'but if she wants to sleep threw our time then the least I can do is make it a little uncomfortable for her' Sesshoumaru got up and walked to her window and shut the blue silky curtains that were trimmed with silver and stood there for a second letting his amber eye's adjust to the change in lighting.

After Sesshoumaru's eyes adjusted to the dark he looked at Kagome seeing the nervous and yet confused facial expression written all over her he smirk as he walked back to the bed he began to take off the top part of his kimono leaving him in only a pair of silky light blue and silver pants "Move over" he stated "Sesshoumaru really its ok I think I'm awake now we can go outside" Kagome said scooting over on the bed allowing him room to get in.

Sesshoumaru pulled back the bed covers and laid downthen grabbingand pulling on a string that made the canopy curtain on the bed fall down and make them invisible to the outside world. But then he realized all games aside Sesshoumaru was nervous to he had never done this he felt uncomfortable. Sesshoumaru looked into Kagome's eyes and she smiled, Sesshoumaru guessed she noticed he was uncomfortable when Kagome said to "relax".

The only thing that came to mind was 'ha! Me relax you're a fine one to talk!' but he stayed silent watching her every movement. As Kagome laid down facing him she moved a little closer to him. Sesshoumaru tensed and was about to get up and leave when she put her hand on his shoulder

"Relax" Kagome said again as she must he felt his muscles tense

"Your hand's are cold" Sesshoumaru said looking away from her 'this doesn't feel right' Sesshoumaru never liked leaving his guard down and right now he felt very exposed and he didn't mean the lack in clothing…

Sesshoumaru looked at her and saw Kagome removing her kimono and he gave her the most puzzled look 'what in the hell is that woman doing!' thoughts raced ninety to nothing threw Sesshoumaru's mind but his facial expression stayed blank.

And then Kagome finally untying the bow she let it fall and instead of Sesshoumaru seeing a naked woman like he thought he would. Sesshoumaru saw a dark red with black lace trimmed silk slip. "It was itchy! Sorry " Sesshoumaru sighed.

But that didn't last long as Kagome crawled over to him and laid down again with her back facing Sesshoumaru. All he could do was stare as Kagome laid her head down with Sesshoumaru's left arm under her neck Kagome scooted closer to him pressing her butt up against his 'member'. Sesshoumaru closed his eye's as she did.

Kagome once again must have felt him tense as she said "relax" again. Kagome then reached behind her and grabbed his right hand and pulled it over her waist and brought his hand to her heart and laced her fingers with Sesshoumaru's with his arm laying beside her breasts and with her right hand she laid it over his left and sighed.

Sesshoumaru felt weird at first but then when he noticed Kagome had fallen asleep he started to gradually relax until he actually started to like this. Sesshoumaru finallylaid his head down beside Kagome's and soon fell soundly peacefully happily asleep while doing the one thing he swore he'd never do and that was to let his guard down to a female, to share the same bed as a female, and to be with her…

(Outside Kagome's room sometime in the late afternoon hours later)

Everyone in the house had woken and could not find either Kagome or Sesshoumaru and they had checked everywhere now even Sesshoumaru's room and were about to give up when Rin said "Hey Mira we haven't checked Kagome's room"

Mira smiled to her mate "your absolutely right Rin" she turned to Kagome's door and without any hesitation Mira opened the door and peeked inside at first she didn't see anything and then she looked at the bed which was shielded from theirunwanted eye's.

Except for the dark shadow of a manly figure laying on his side and parts of another person she suspected was Kagome she quietly shut the door before anyone else could see.

Turning around Mira looked to her husband and gave him a 'later' look "well were they there!" little Rin squealed jumping up and down "I'm afraid not hunny" Rins smile quickly turned upside down "I'm sorry dear. Why don't we go eat dinner and then go check again"

Rins frown turned right side up as she smiled warmly and chirped a 'ok' as Shippou and Rin darted off to the dinning room Mira and Hikaru lingered behind a bit "were they in there" her mate said to her wrapping his arm's protectively around his mates waist from behind. Mira laid her head back on him

"of course" he looked at her awkwardly "You knew "Mira shook her head "I just had a feeling" he kissed her neck lightly "That's my love always trusting her instincts just how I taught her" Mira giggled "hunny not in front of the little one's"

he smiled and kissed from his mating mark on her neck to the back of her ear "Good thing their not here then" His hands roamed her body lovingly as he nipped and kissed up and down her neck making her body shiver.

She couldn't believe he still had this affect on her after all this time they still acted like childhood sweet hearts breathlessly she said his name in a pleading moan "haru.." she bit her lip as she closed her eyes.

He chuckled as he turned his mate around and captured her lips in a warm passionate kiss Mira wrapped her arm around his neck and Hikaru picked her up and pressed her back against the wall.

Her mate broke the kiss knowing they could not give into their desires at this moment he kissed her forehead "later my love" she smiled affectionately at her mate "I love you" he kissed her gently on the lip's "and I you" they walked back to the children holding hands and their faces glowing with love and happiness…

(Kagome's room 20 minutes later)

Sesshoumaru's eyes slowly opened and his breath caught in his throat as he took in his surrounding's he noticed that they had most defiantly moved around in their sleep because their lips were merely a few microscopic inches apart his left arm was still under her neck and his other over her waist and Kagome's arms were gently wrapped around his neck.

But then Sesshoumaru noticed their legs were intertwined together. Sesshoumaru then knew he couldn't move even if he wanted to which he really didn't to be honest he just laid there watching her taking in her unique beauty. Sesshoumaru also noticed that unlike most human's her scent was not distasteful to him but rather calming, her presence itself calmed him.

Sesshoumaru moved his arm from its resting place on her waist to brush the hair from her face and then he felt how soft her skin was and he smiled at her just as Kagome started to open her eyes his arm went back around her waist and then Sesshoumaru's main interest went to the young miko's face.

As Kagome opened her eyes Sesshoumaru's were the first thing those big chocolate eyes looked at and they held his gaze "mmmm hello Sesshou how'd you sleep?" she said lazily smiling he guessed she hadn't noticed how close they were yet "…Sesshou" Sesshoumaru said in a emotionless voice "Sorry Sesshouma-" "you may call me that if you like"

Kagome smiled at me and strangely I found myself smiling back. Then without any warning she moved her hands to my chest and moved her head under my chin and rubbed her nose against my neck and feeling as tho it was the right thing to do I embraced her pulling Kagome closer to my body and held her tight yet not so much as to bring harm to her.

"Kagome we have to get up" I whispered softly into her ear "I know" But as I started to get up she grabbed my shoulder "five more minutes" I growled at her trying to tell her that she would only have five minutes and no more but thenI felt her shake inmy arms at first Sesshoumaru thought he scared her then heard Kagome giggling.

Kagome then rolled them over and sitting on his lap she smiled down at him and Sesshoumaru tensed noticing where she was sitting and what she was wearing he diverted his eye's from her "What's wrong Sesshou?" Sesshoumaru didn't want to admit that the way she was sitting on him was making is body react to her "It's nothing.."

Sesshoumaru looked at her as Kagome crossed her arms "liar" she huffed turning her head away from him. Sesshoumaru not wanting to hurt her feelings slowly ever so slowly moved his hands to rest on the sides her legs "Kagome" she looked at him "what" she said rudely glaring at him.

He smiled and flipped their positions and then Sesshoumaru looked her in the eyes as he hovered above her his hair fanning around them she smiled while biting her bottom lip she took her hands to his sides and in a feather soft touches she ran her finger's up and down his sides. Sesshoumaru broke out into a fit of shivers.

Kagome smiled and then after seeing fit that she was done tormenting his sides she put her hands on his back. Sesshoumaru leaned down on his elbows and with expert maneuvering of his tail he ran it softly in between her legs barely touching them each time he stroked higher up hen the last but never went past her slip. He watched her reaction closely.

Kagome's eyes had close and she had started running her nails gently down his back. Sesshoumaru knew she liked what ever it was he was doing but he thought he should get her back for the 'side' treatment Sesshoumaru took one of his hands and stopped the movements with his tail and ran his clawed hand down her side and she jumped then giggled "hey that tickles!" he grinned "Really it does?" he saw fear shoot threw her eye's.

Sesshoumaru began tickling her with no mercy she squirmed and giggled and tried her best to escape but he wouldn't let her after a few more minutes of the painful torture and there was a knock at the door Sesshoumaru looked at her then toward the door "you better-" "yes" he said knowing what she was gonna say he moved to let her up then laid back down while she answered the down.

Sesshoumaru couldn't see threw the curtain but heard them talking. "Yes Mira?" "Hi Kagome hunny I thought you might be hungry you've been in your room all day so I made you a tray off just about everything" "Oh wow thank you Mira, is that all?" "yes" and then Sesshoumaru heard then door shut and foot steps going to the bed.

Sesshoumaru watched Kagome slide the trey onto the bed and then climb onto the bed as well "look we got enough food for a army" she giggled and Sesshoumaru looked at her as she dug threw the food and found 2 forks and plate "that's strange" Kagome shrugged at him and began to make there plates with fruits. veggie's and some kind of meat that was there.

They ate in silence and then after they were done Sesshoumaru grabbed he tray's and such and put them on her desk to take to the kitchen tomorrow looking at her again "Good night Kagome" she smiled at him "Good night Sesshou" Sesshoumaru went back to his room via her bathroom slipping into a pair of black silk shorts

Sesshoumaru then glanced out the window and saw that the moon had just started to rise what a beautiful sight to see the great silver moon rising high in the sky to shine as the sun dose in the day looking back to his bed he climbed into it and under his covers and fell asleep…

Sometime not long after he went to sleep another person had walked into his room and climbed into his bed with him. Sesshoumaru smelled the air to make sure it was Kagome then wrapped his arms around her little body and snuggled his nose into the crook of her neck "…mmmmmhhmm Sesssshmaruu" she purred half asleep "have a bad dream?" he whispered softly into her ear and watched her bit her lip "It was cold…" "there was a blanket" he whispered to her…

"but it wasnt you Sesshoumaru." he smiled "goodnight Kagome" "please don't make me leave" he rubbed his nose against again "shh… go to sleep you can stay here" "Thank you" "sleep" he said his golden eyes looking down at her he couldn't help but smile a goofy smile he covered them up and then wrapped his arms around her and holding her hands at her stomach and resting his head onthe pillow they were sharing..they fell asleep under the silvery eye's of the moon...
