Kk. A new chapter. I hope to get at least 5 reviews this time! Please!!!! Um, for one reviewer whom tried to guess whom the man in black –LOL!- is, you would have to know the plot of The Princess Bride. I got the idea from there. So it will be one person you won't exactly expect because he has already denied the identity. Don't understand? You will here soon. Read and Review!!!!

Chapter 10:

The man in black had stayed the rest of the day with Kagome, leaving occasionally to get snacks. Kagome had to admit, he was a gentlemen. The day went on until night approached. Kagome had never told anyone, but her biggest fear was lightning and thunder. And to her dismay, it chose this night to attack.

Kagome cursed it and cuddled deeper under her cave of covers. The lights were out as the man still in black slept across the way. 'He could sleep through a tornado.' Kagome mentally snorted only to once again jump up at the striking thunder. This time she let a whimper slip past her lips. 'I'm sooo screwed if that woke him.'

"Kagome?"

'Man. I am going to miss life.' "Yes?", she asked in a cracked voice.

"Your afraid aren't you." He could see the outline of her head shake up and down as she let out a small cry again.

"Come." Kagome gasped at what he said. 'So that was why he was so nice.'

"Do you want company or not? I assure you I will not make a move. I'm not like that."

Kagome suddenly felt trust surge through her body. She lifted the blankets and walked to him. "Hop in.", he said bordly. Kagome sank in and instantly the thunder crackled. She buried her head in the mans chest.

"I'm so sorry. I can't believe I'm such a scardey cat. You hate me don't you? Not even the last cat I owned returned to me."

"I find you witty. I like you very much. As for the cat, well, it doesn't know what it's missing. You're a great person." He wrapped an arm around her waist as she tensed.

"You hardly know me though."

"I know you more than even you yourself does. You fail to see past your insecurities, as I have always seen into your soul. I can read you like a book and from what I have read, you are self-conscious. Love yourself and with it you will find much more happiness."

Kagome listened to his words and thought. "But my heart is occupied by a boy." She shook her head. "No, a young man. I love him so much, and I want so badly to see him again. To hear his velvet voice, his eyes."

"You can't let your heart be owned by only one person. Your heart is meant to be shared." Kagome didn't know how to take it. Was he insulting love, or was he trying to help? The first thing to come to her mind was to push him. So he tumbled from the bed to the hard floor.

"Kagome, why did you do that?" And for the first time, she saw the mans face.

-Miroku, Sango-

"I don't know about that. You will probably make me feel insecure, as you are a womanizer. I would feel like I was being cheated on."

"Yes, but I only have eyes for you. When I look at another woman, I am sizing her up to you. Not one has proved better. I would never hurt you."

Sango smiled up at Miroku. "I will consider a future with you. But we must have a few dates first." Miroku bore a broad grin.

-Inu yasha-

He chose to return to school after he got over the shock of Naraku. Besides, who knows what he would do to Inu yasha as he was a witness to his fraud. Inu yasha didn't plan on reporting him until he knew where Kagome was and made sure she was safe. That was most important. Naraku was lucky that Inu yasha had been injured. Otherwise, he would be dead. Not regenerating. Naraku would probably not return to his job for quite a time either. He would take a lot longer than InuYasha to recover.

-Kagome-

Kagome couldn't believe it! She had just pushed down,… Kagome rolled off the bed and landed right beside him, arm draped across his chest. "I didn't know you knew so much poetry. You really are a romantic. I'm sorry that I pushed you, I'll never do that again." She put her hands up in defense as the man opened his eyes. Golden orbs absorbed into coffee ones.

"I hope I'm not dreaming.", stated Kagome.

"There are ways to test it,", spoke Sesshomaru. –shock-

He put his hand firmly on her neck and pushed her toward him. He kissed her nose before taking her lips to his. It was just like their first. Passionate and full of love.

He went even farther into the kiss and found her as delightful as his favorite strawberries and whipped cream. She was full of innocence that he would dare not change. He pulled out of the kiss.

"I didn't know I wanted that so bad.", stated a shocked Kagome. She had allowed him to take over as she became the blushing bystander in the kiss. And she would gladly accept another round.

They both climbed back to the bed and settled. The thunder grew stronger, and Kagome's grip became metal on Sesshoamru's shirt. He traced her features with one finger as his other arm lay loosely across her waist.

"I think we have moved on in our relationship. I think we are in this for love now."

Kagome looked up at him as he spoke.

"I know I am." Sesshomaru tightened his grip on her waist and smiled. "Me too."

They indulged into yet another firm kiss as they closed the night, side by side.

-Sango and Miroku-

Miroku stayed by Sango's hospital bed the whole night as worry crept up on him. Kagome hadn't shown up. Was something going on? Was he missing something? Oh well. He'd find out later. Right now, Sango needed his watching as she lay motionless in her sleep.

Sooo, short, I know, but I did add 'fluff' if you can call it that. I don't really know. Even that is going to scare me! I need to delete the file soon, so to cut this short, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
