Chp.20 Can't take my mind of you…

Sesshomaru breathed deeply as he closed the door and headed downstairs. He was an imbecile. Out of all the things had done in his meaningless life, this was the only thing that he wished he could have taken back.

He was interested in her. More then she knew. He wanted her so much even now that it was painful to even walk. If he was so strong, if he was such a big , bad, demon, then why couldn't he do the thing he wanted to do most when he had first seen her? Sesshomaru sighed because he now knew that any relationship that he was ever hoping that there would be between him and Kagome now vanished. This couldn't be it…..

When Sesshomaru walked in he noticed that Kagome's Grandfather was gathering his things.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Oh! Sesshomaru you scared me! I was going to play 'Igo" with my buddies down near Shinjuku plaza. I won't be back till tommrow. You watch yourself tonight. Also tell Kagome I'm gone." After he left Sesshomaru sat on the couch and turned off the television. He closed his eyes until he heard his stomach growl. He sighed and walked toward the kitchen area. Usually his maids did most of the domestic things but he had no idea how to do any cooking. He considered asking Kagome to fix him something but he didn't have the courage to face up to her again. Not after what he said.

"Are you hungry?" asked a sad voice laced with tears behind him. Surprisingly enough he hadn't even heard her walk down the stairs. And his hearing was acute. Sesshomaru turned and felt a wave of his hammering need rise within him. Kagome was dressed in what appeared to be a shirt that was too big for her but it ended near the hem of her thighs. It drove him crazy and all he could stare at for a solid minute was the form of her body beneath that thin shirt. He cleared his throat and said in strained, awkward sort of way. "Yes."

"Just sit on the couch and I'll cook some dumplings and noodles." Sesshomaru let her move past her and walked to the couch. His hands twitched and he was tempted to turn around. After a few moments of silence Kagome talked.

"I really am sorry for that. I mean, Inu--…Inuyasha always told me that you didn't exactly like humans"

" It was true once. Eversince I have met Rin, the feeling has lessened slightly."

"What about me?" asked Kagome. Sesshomaru sighed again and stood up then walked up to Kagome. Eyes level with hers with a fierce intensity in his eyes.

"With you…I don't know." Kagome cursed as she realized she had almost burned the noodles.

"Oh…well…is that good or bad?" Sesshomaru shrugged and sat in a chair next to the table. Kagome nodded and hope fluttered in her heart. Soon the food was finished and she set it in front of Sesshomaru then sat across from him.

"Are you going to watch me eat?" said Sesshomaru as he poked at his noodles.

"Well,…if you want me to leave…" He reached and grabbed her hand as she was about to leave.

"Don't leave. Keep me company"

Kagome sat back down and stared at him then a tiny grin played across her face. She waited till Sesshomaru was finished and walked toward him to take back his plate. She purposely moved closer to him then she normally would have and bent to take his plate. One thing she had learned from Inuyasha is that since demon's sense of smell was extremely strong being near to them made a demon crazy. Kagome sensed him sit still as she picked up the plate. He took the bait. She walked over to the sink and put in the dishes until she felt someone standing close behind her….

Sesshomaru smelled her skin and he shook with his need. He stood up and walked over to her. She turned around and looked up at him, begging him to do the thing she knew he wanted to do. Sesshomaru looked into Kagome's soft brown eyes. Tucking away all the thought of warnings and doubt he had in his head and reached out…..

He touched her cheek and traced the line of her jaw line up to her ear. Kagome closed her eyes and bit her lip hoping that there was more then this one touch. Sesshomaru dug his hands into her thick black hair and watched as her hair curled around his fingers, then cupped his hand under her chin and kissed her. She moaned into his mouth as his strong hands roved over her body stopping at her lower back. Kagome opened her mouth to receive his warm passion. Sesshomaru felt lost within her, tasting her sweetness. He had never felt more wanted by anyone ever before.

Finally their lips separated and Kagome leaned to kiss Sesshomaru's neck. He closed his eyes and gasped at the tiny bites she gave him and shuddered when she suckled his adam's apple. He pulled her lips to his again and took hold. She kissed him vigorously. Sesshomaru groaned and pushed her away. He took deep shaking breaths and damned himself. He did not just do what he thought he did…..

Heh. So FINALLY it happened. But there is only one thing better then kissing. Sex…or…wait…I can't pick. They both are really cool. Btw. Igo is a Japanese board game. -QN
