Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 7: If only she knew…………………..

Sesshomaru's POV

Kagome had left me to sit by myself, and I just sat there, deep in thought. Millions, no BILLIONS of things were going through my head. Why didn't I tell her she's the one? Why couldn't I tell her she's the one? Sesshomaru thought angrily. Why couldn't I tell her I cared for her, and no one, not even Inuyasha could hurt her in any way, as long as I'm with her. "Sesshomaru-sama! Rin wonders why Sesshomaru has sat down here for so long. The moon has come out, and Rin doesn't want you outside." She pulled him, only failing miserably. Rin was unable to do anything except catch Sesshomaru's attention.

"What did you say, Rin?"

"Rin wants to know why you are outside for so long."

"I was just thinking. Besides, aren't you supposed to be in bed by now?" Rin nodded and ran off into the castle. I sighed deeply again. I know I will have to tell her sometime, unless I want her to. I care for her, I wouldn't care about having half demon children. I would try to love them, but most likely will love them anyway if the person I had them with was the person I love……………………. Do I love her? I care for her, but I'm not very sure. I once promised myself I wouldn't make the same mistake my father made and put shame to my family. But now I know how father must've felt………. But would she accept my proposal? All the other female demons in the regions are almost proposing to me! But she is different from all the other female demons I've courted. She is independent, and smart even thought she can be stubborn sometimes. I smiled inwardly. That's it! If I care for her, I will tell her! But there is one person or thing in my way--------- my wretched brother Inuyasha. I looked up at the sky. The stars shone brightly, contrasting from the pitch black sky, which yet created a relaxing image. Maybe I will tell her tomorrow………………………… I thought as I went inside the castle to retire from the day and move on to the new day ahead---- proposal day.

Sango sighed deeply and exhaled. IT had been a long day, and it was close to midnight. She mad to smack Miroku three times today, smack Inuyasha in the head for being such an idiot. Sango smiled. I couldn't help myself this time………… talking crap about how Kagome is probably dead or sleeping with someone…………baka. The hardest part was helping Shippo. She heard him talking about how he hated Kagome for leaving him. She had to explain how Kagome needed time off and how she left all of us, even though she still loved us all. Well, maybe MOST of us………. Sango thought. She's probably still upset at Inuyasha for what he said. But where in the world could she be? It's been weeks since she left. She must've gone somewhere. And I think I know where she went. But, instead, I will leave her alone. She's probably better there………………… Sango thought as her dreams overtook her.

Kagome's POV

It had been three days since he asked me that question. And I can't stop thinking about it. Sesshomaru has been scolding me because I have not been paying attention, but it seems that his mind is in another place too. I wonder what he's thinking about now…………………………… I can't stop thinking about him. I blush everytime he looks me in the eyes, because I've had some pretty dirty dreams. He must think I'm crazy, I thought. I started to blush again. I care for him so much, and try to see through his eyes to see any emotions, but I see none. (A/N: He looks at EVERYONE the same way!) "Well, it is partly------ well all of my fault…….. I never told him, so how could he know? It's not like he can read minds or anything." I whispered. Someone knocked on the door. I sighed in frustration. "Okay, Okay, here's the dirty laun……." I started to say as I opened the door and saw a certain Sesshomaru. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes, and then held up one of my bras.

"What is this thing?" Sesshomaru asked me. I blushed deeply and snatched it away from him.

"Nothing you need to know about." Sesshomaru shrugged and sat on my bed.

"You had wanted to see me, Sesshomaru?" I asked him. He looked into my brown eyes.

"Yes, I did come too see you about something. Something very important." He motioned me to sit down, and I briskly walked over and sat down. "You have been training with me for about three weeks.You've been doing fine and now you can carry the sword that you said you never could." Kagome blushed. "It's just that I need to confess something to you…………… I really care for you."

"I really care for you, too. I didn't think you would fell the same way……" She blushed even harder. "I have also made another decision."

"What?"

"I want to become a demon, I don't want my children to be left out as outcasts for their whole lives. Is there a way to turn me into a demon."

"Yes, there is a way. But I want to give you this." He pulled out a satin box and opened it, revealing a beautiful ring. In the middle, there was a clear diamons, but it had tints of colors such as blood red, violet, and sky blue. The ring itself was pure gold, and there were clear similar diamonds around the large one. Kagome just stared in awe. She finally was able to speak. "It's beautiful." She whispered. "Can you do me one favor?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want to become a demon after I tell my mom. Can we go see my family? I haven't seen them for months." Sesshomaru thought for a while and then nodded. Kagome jumped up and gave him a kiss, while a surprised Sesshomaru soon returned to kiss. "Thank you soo much, Sesshy! We're going to have a great time!" Kagome squealed. Great, in one minute after asking for marriage and now I have a nickname and I'm going on a trip! This is going to be a wild ride! Sesshomaru thought as he watched Kagome pulling out kimonos and things to bring for their trip.

Well that's Chapter 7! I hoped you liked it! I'm making these chapters longer so you can enjoy! Bye, and remember to REVIEW!
