A/N: Thank you guys sooooo much! I have 25 reviews in 3 days! That's great!

"Milady! Milady!" The maid cried, shaking Kagome's arms.

"Five more minutes………." Kagome replied. Once the maid shook her again, Kagome finally got up.

"I have chosen a red kimono for you to wear. You have fifteen minutes to meet Sesshomaru." Kagome finally woke up! Fifteen minutes. I gotta hurry! Kagome thought as she ran to the hot springs to get ready.

"You're here and just on time. This Sesshomaru does not like to wait." Sesshomaru said to Kagome. She had just ran outside. She didn't have enough time to even eat her breakfast. Kagome felt like rolling her eyes, but decided to stay alive. Sesshomaru walked away. "What are you doing , leaving me here ---Sesshomaru-sama?" Kagome said. He ignored her and kept on walking. Kagome sat on the ground for a few minutes. "Wow, some kind of workout." Kagome mumbled sarcastically. Sesshomaru came out with a huge sword. He dropped it into her hands while she fell to the ground. "Pathetic human, you cannot even grasp a twenty pound sword and swing it?"

"Well, have you noticed I'm the ground, trying to get it off me?" Kagome shouted. He picked it up. By the end of this training I will expect you to pick up this sword and swing it like a feather." What is HE smoking? Kagome thought. "Sesshomaru-sama, how long will this training last for?" Kagome asked him.

"I will expect to last for 1 moon cycle." He replied. Her jaw dropped.

"One month? That's it!"

"This Sesshomaru does not know what a month is, and besides, working with me for ten hours will be enough." Kagome stared at him. This is going to be wonderful……not! Kagome thought as she started her drills with a lighter sword.

"Milady! Lord Sesshomaru wants to see you in the garden! The maid called out. It had been a week since she first started to train with him, and she was able to pick up and swing a ten pound sword with ease, even though Sesshomaru said she was improving but slowly. Kagome changed into a sky blue kimono with a silver flower print and walked outside to the garden. She noticed that the sun was about to set. She suspected for him to be in the middle and he was. "Sesshomaru –sama, a maid said you wanted to see me for something?" his golden eyes stared straight at her.

"Yes, I did call for you. Have a seat." He patted the seat next to him and she sat down.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha! INUYASHA!" Sango hissed into his ear.

"Waa? What the heck did you do that for? You know my ears are sensitive." He snapped drowsily. It was nighttime, and everyone else was asleep. "I just want to ask you…………..what did you do to make Kagome so upset that she decided to leave. I never found out why." She said softly.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Cause I want to. If you don't tell me, you can forget about the rest of us helping you out." Inuyasha rolled around to face her.

"Well, it happened like this. We were having an argument about keeping Shippo with us again. She screamed at me saying that if Kikyo was the one that wanted him to stay, I wouldn't argue with her at all. And how I treated her like a pile of crap and how I shout treat like the human she is, not a replica of Kikyo. I told her that wasn't true, and that I didn't care about Kikyo. She was jealous because she thought I still loved Kikyo and I didn't care about her. Now I regret it, and I know that I really love Kagome more than I would ever love Kikyo." Sango was surprised. He actually cares about someone other than himself! She thought.

"Well then, I think we should keep on looking for her. You know she told me that she loves you too. It's just to her, the person you care about is the one who's been dead for over fifty years." Inuyasha nodded and fell back to sleep.

Kagome was very curios about what Sesshomaru was going to tell her. The moon was now the light. Is he going to talk about my training, about bringing Shippo here? No it can't be that or the training…Maybe it's about------ Sesshomaru sighed deeply, interrupting her thoughts. Kagome couldn't help become fond of him. His golden eyes, his way of never showing an emotion, his long silver hair. She smiled. She could think about him, couldn't she? He didn't need to know about it. You'd never have a chance! He hates humans, if you've noticed you are one and number two why would he want me to give birth to his have demon children, anyway? She knew all the demons everywhere were doing anything just to catch his eye, dreaming that one day they would have the honor of being his mate and Lordess of the West. What would he do with her?

"I wanted to ask you something. What do humans do to show their affections toward another. I have a woman that I care for and I want her to know that." Sesshomaru said quickly. Kagome was surprised.

"Well, boys give the girls gifts such as chocolates or flowers like roses. I the girl accepts, then they go out and become a couple. And if they find that they really love eachother, the man will propose to her with an engagement ring. Soonafter, they become married and are united together forever." Kagome replied. Thinking about marriage always made her think about her perfect wedding day . The thing was the groom was Sesshomaru and NOT Inuyasha. "Is that what you wanted to ask me?"

"Yes that is it." They both sat there. "You may be dismissed."

"Can I ask who the lucky female is?"

"No, you cannot."

"Okay/" Kagome replied. She left Sesshomaru, wishing that he could've said 'it's you.' Maybe he's like his brother, no matter how much I care for them, they don't notice it. Maybe I'll never find the right person……… What Kagome didn't know was that Sesshomaru was wishing the same thing too.
