I woke up beside a handsome silver haired man. Pale skin, fine muscle tone. When they're open, beautiful eyes. So why do I feel so disappointed. Isn't this the man I love?

As I was wondering Sesshoumaru opened those beautiful eyes and smiled up at me.

"Kagome."

He pulled me down next to him and gently kissed my lips. Disappointment and doubt went away.

"I love you Kagome."

Instead of answering, I kissed him in return. His arm wrapped around me. I drew my fingers along his jaw, across his lips. He kissed the tips gently and I drew my fingers down his chin and neck. I ran my hand exploring his chest and down, under the covers.

"I remember one of the places that that damn brother of mine was seen alot. It's here around this bend."

They followed the river around the bend and came upon a small cove.

__________________________

"I want to take you some where. Back in my younger days I would come here often."

It was a romantic river side cove. Cherry blossom trees raining pink drops of softness.

"It's beautiful."

"So are you , My Kagome. I love you."

"Thank you for bringing me here."

"Why won't you say you love me?"

"I. . . That is. . . "

"It's because she doesn't love you."

"Inuyasha, I thought we made it clear that you are no longer welcome in Kagome's life."

Inuyasha unsheathed Tetseiga and aimed for the windscar.

"Kagome will NEVER love YOU!"

The Tenseiga transported Sesshoumaru away from danger miles to the north.

"What have you done to Sesshoumaru?"

"I was doing you a favor!"

"Well did I ask for your help?"

"What's wrong with you? He had you under a spell!"

Miroku came close. Whispered, "She's still under the effects of the spell. Yelling like that will only fuel the spell." He said in a hushed voice.

Inuyasha turned, "well what do you wnat. Me to kiss her or something?!"

"Well if it'll work."

"Why are you talking like I'm not here!? What are you saying? You just wait. . . "

Inuyasha cut her off by pulling her close and covering her lips with his own. He took her breath away. This is right. Everything else before was wrong.

"Inuyasha. I'm . . . That is. . . "

"I love you Kagome."

"I love you, too, Inuyasha."

"We're not going to have to get too sappy right now are we? Miroku, Shippo and Sango are watching."

"No" I giggled. "That's alright. . . INUYASHA watch out."

Sesshoumaru was flying down low on his beast.

"Kirara! Let's go."

Inuyasha mounted the mysterious creature of Sango's. They flew high into the air hovering over Sesshoumaru.

"If I cannot have Kagome, Then neither will you , brother!"

But instead of charging Kirara, He dove toward me. One hand poised maliciously for attack.

"Sesshourmaru! No!" I turned to run but he was there.

The claws ripped through the thin dress and bit into my flesh ripping from just under one breast across my stomache and to the hip.

As I lay bleeding I watched Him fly into the sunset.
