Disclaimer: go to ch. 4

Bed news folks. I just got back from a stupid type of conference today. So I am hurriedly getting this chapter out. But I am leaving again tomorrow early for part of our vacation. I am not quite sure when we will get back though. It shouldn't be too long. But just to be ahead, I am telling u that is the MAIN reason that this chap. Is sooo short. I have to wash my clothes and pack all over again. I love summer but it leaves me no time to do anything else. All I am doing is going places. Unfortunately I don't own a lab top So again I am dreadfully sorry that it is sooo short but I felt super bad for making y'all wait as long as u did for it. But I am doing this chapter in about an hour. And it usually takes me 2 to 3 hours to get a ch. Up.

Ch.5

She looked hesitantly at his awaiting hand.

'Did I hear correctly?' She asked herself.

'Did this prince god just ask me to dance? What do I do? Should I? It's not that I don't know how to dance or anything. I just have never danced with a prince before. What will mother think?'

She looked at the throne at her mother. Her mother was glaring at her. She knew what Sesshomaru had asked Kagome.

'I can't believe this!!! The prince just asked that thing to dance!'

She jerked her head towards her husband. He beat her to the punch.

"Say yes!" he mouthed to Kagome.

The queen gasped in horror.

"What are you thinking? We are trying to get him to like Kikyo!"

"I know that dear but that doesn't mean that Kagome can't dance with him now does it?"

"Fine.." Then she turned towards Kagome to glare at her more.

Kagome saw what her father had said.

'Well I might as well.'

"Yes that would be very nice. Thank you Prince Sesshomaru."

Kagome slid her hand in his and was immediately covered in warmth.

'He is so warm and comforting. Just from holding hands!

She wanted to look him in the eyes and see what he was feeling but resisted the urg as he led her out to the dance floor.

'What is wrong with me?' thought Sesshomaru as he looked at Kagome from the corner of his eye.

'I feel so warm inside. And by the looks of it she does too.' He smirked as he looked at Kagome.

When they go to the dance floor a new song was just starting. It was slow. She put her right hand in his left and she put the other on his shoulder while is other one was on her waist.

At the beginning of the song they started pretty far apart. But towards the middle they were extremely close. Kagome didn't miss it either. Unlike Sesshomaru who thought they hadn't noticed.

'Oh my gosh! We are so close. I want to put my head on his shoulder but how would he react? Would he push me away? Is mother looking?'

She looked around Sesshomarus shoulder at her mother and noticed that she wasn't looking.

Sesshomaru saw this and starting veering towards the doors that lead out onto the balcony. She looked up at him and just stared into his molten gold eyes. In turn, he stared back at her veil.

'Why do I feel this way? I wish that I could see her eyes and see how she feels. I want to see her face. I WILL see her face before this trip is over with.'

When they got out onto the balcony Kagome gently laid her head down on Sesshomarus chest.

'Please don't push me away please don't push me away please pleaaaaaaaaase'

She said over and over to herself.

'I can feel her heart beating. She is very nervous. Maybe I can stop her nervousness.'

And with that last thought he gently laid his chin on the top of her head.

Her chanting stopped immediately.

She relaxed in his arms and shut her eyes savoring the feel of her in his arms.

'I want to stay this way forever'

URGH!!! I am soo sorry that I have to cut it of there but my mom won't stop yelling at me to pack. Sorry again about the ch. Until next time!
