1Demeter Hera: Welcome one and all yet again to a Miko's Touch. I'm quite content that I am slowly gaining readers. I know it does take time to acquire reviews and such but I am very grateful to those who take the time to review and read. Now I would like to inform you of an upcoming fan fiction, and I am well aware that having two will mean that the updating process will be somewhat longer. But, alas, the fan fiction in question is another present time Sesshomaru Kagome pairing. The basic plot is that Sesshomaru is the lead singer of the rock band the Tashio's. When he comes home for the Christmas holidays he finds that one Higurashi Kagome is now living with them for reasons only their father knows. In essence he falls for her and when she starts to return the feeling her past comes back to make everything fall apart yet again. I request that the reviewer's that wish for me to post the fan fiction say so, for if you do not like the plot the point of posting it isn't all that great, correct?

Veata: Bonzai to you as well. Well I guess if I do not update I am going to be killed. But, do not fret, I was going to update anyways.
Mirage and Mirokiki: Yes I love the song as well, one of my favourites by Kelly Clarkson. I'm glad to know that my fan fiction inspired you, through another's work, to sing, singing is always good. As far as I know there will be more Kelly Clarkson song's to come for her voice does play a part in her and Sesshomaru getting together, but, I must not say more.
sataness-ov-desire: Your pen name is very nice, I like it.
kiraracutie4: Yes, yes he was staring at her and he will also be staring at her in this chapter.

The Last Paragraph of Chapter Two
As if one cue the class erupted into applaud and an audible whistle from Sango. Kagome slightly blushed as her eyes fell on Sesshomaru, who showed a smile for a split second before it was replaced by his emotionless façade.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Kagome that was amazing." Sango gushed as Kagome reclaimed her seat.
"Oh, thanks." Kagome replied to her, very quietly.
The class continued to murmur about Kagome's talent as the class resumed. The lesson was extremely boring, even for Kagome. Apparently, no one could keep a note long enough to satisfy him. Was she the only singer in the class? The answer was no, but the other talent there, choose not to show it.
As the day came to a close, the bell to leave sounded. As the class ran out of the class Kagome stood up. She was almost at the door when she felt something warm and electrifying on her wrist. Looking over her shoulder she came face to face with Sesshomaru, who was holding her wrist.
"Is there something you need?" Kagome asked him, not stuttering although her heart was racing.
"Your voice…it is what Sango told you, it is amazing." Sesshomaru told her, looking into her eyes, making her heart race faster, if that was possible.
"T-Thanks." Kagome replied, in a voice barely audible.
Sesshomaru could feel her heart beating, he could hear the beating in his head. A rhythm that was, to him, one of the most exiting sounds he had ever heard.
Sesshomaru smirked and let go of her wrist. He seen her close her eyes, for the loose of warmth in her lower arm. Taking a chance he brushed past her and lightly touched her neck with his hands, as if teasing her. He was gone in an instant and Kagome stood there.
Her breathing was off and she felt…different. It was like her body was yearning for something from him. Kagome quickly squashed the thought in the back of her mind. She was still afraid to let someone in. No, she would not let anyone in. At least when she was alone, she couldn't get hurt. Her heart would not be able to take it if it happened again.
Tears started to well up in her eyes.
Was she really that pathetic? Had one bad boyfriend made her incapable to love another? Was she now unable to receive love like she used to? No, she would heal and she would love again…right?
She briskly walked to her locker and grabbed her stuff. Home, that's where she needed to go. Yes, she could go home, finish her assignments, have a nice dinner, take a relaxing shower and then go to sleep. Kagome was well aware that no matter what she did it would never be that organized.
She would go home yes, but not right away. She shut her locker and nearly started to hit her head off of the metal. Why did her life have to be so complicated? Why couldn't she have the perfect family, perfect appearance, perfect boyfriend, perfect everything?
She chuckled at the thought.
Her smile was slowly returning. She didn't have that bad of a life. She did have a roof over he head, a place to be educated, a good car and a very hot Sesshomaru standing with InuYasha beside her car at theirs.
Wait.
Did she just think Sesshomaru was hot?
'I'm going to kill myself one day.' Kagome groaned inside her head as she walked to her car.
"Hey, wench, Gin was looking for you." InuYasha hollered.
Kagome rolled her eyes at the comment. She was going to kill InuYasha as well.
"Didn't you hear me wench?" InuYasha demanded.
"Have you ever heard of manners?" Kagome asked him, putting her bag in her car.
"You have a nice car Kagome." Sesshomaru announced, looking at the car, while side glancing at her.
"Thank you Sesshomaru." Kagome replied, InuYasha gaping at the new found voice Sesshomaru had found.
"Wow he can talk." InuYasha breathed.
"Well isn't that an intelligent comment." Kagome told him.
"Hey shut up." InuYasha retorted.
"InuYasha must you always start?" Gin asked him, coming up beside him with Sango and Miroku.
"Sango here has regaled us about your voice." Miroku announced.
Kagome groaned mentally. She knew she had a good voice but she didn't want to be told about it. In all honesty she was nervous. The audition she had taken to stay with her old vocal teacher she had purposely done horrible but, if she were to have tried, she didn't believe she would have been accepted anyways. Kagome thought her voice wasn't that good and she got nervous in front of people.
The thought of when she sang in class warmed her a bit. She had not been nervous. But she knew why. It was like she had had a guardian angel beside her. Whispering in her ear that she was doing great and not to miss the note. That guardian angel, coincidently, had long silver hair and the most captivating molten eyes.
"Kagome, we were wondering if you wanted to com back to InuYasha's house with us and hang out?" Gin asked her.
Kagome thought about it for a moment.
"Sure, why not? I'm in." Kagome replied to her.
"Well then…err…Sesshomaru can we drive the car and you could go with Kagome?" InuYasha asked his brother.
"That's fine with me." Kagome added.
Sesshomaru sighed somewhat and moved away from the car so that the other's could get in. The four packed into the car and were off. Kagome and Sesshomaru looked at each other for a few second.
"I'll drive." Sesshomaru told her.
"I'm guessing I don't get a say in this." Kagome sighed, handing him the keys, making sure to make as little contact as possible. She didn't need that same feeling to return again.
As the engine started Sesshomaru backed out of the parking spot. He turned left once reaching the main road.
"Didn't the others go the other way?" Kagome asked him.
"They did, but, the road that I take doesn't have a speed limit." Sesshomaru told her with a slight smirk.
Yes, he would show her how fast he could go.
As he turned onto a deserted side road Kagome started to tense. The scenery was beautiful. The lush green valley that laid to the west was visible. The road ahead looked as though it was untouched by any human ever. The pavement glistened in the sun light and looked like a never ending strip of adrenaline supplier.
Sesshomaru revved the engine, which in turn brought Kagome out of her thoughts. He took off, pushing his foot on the pedal so it basically hit the floor.
The accelerator rose in an instant. One hundred, one hundred and twenty, one hundred and thirty.
Kagome couldn't watch. Everything around her, at that moment in time, was exiting her in way's she wished they didn't. She gripped the seat and bit her lower lip. Everything was blasting past her and beside her was an angel. His hair blew in the wind and his molten eyes shone.
Kagome felt like she was in her meditation again. The colors were blending together. She had lost track of how fast they were going. She was in another sort of bliss. A bliss that could only be created with him.
Him. The new object of her desire. She denied any assumptions of her having feelings for him. Her heart was ready to mend; it was ready to open up for another chance at love. But her head stopped her. How long had she known him? Were they even friend and did he return the feelings?
At that moment thoughts raced through the equally exited Sesshomaru.
'I can smell her sent. She's exited. She smells sweet, like the rain that falls from the thunderous clouds. Hair like a moonless night and eyes like the deepest ocean. Yes, a beauty indeed.' Sesshomaru thought to himself.
As the mansion came into view he started to slow down. Kagome's breathing started to return to normal. As they had hit the highest point of the ride she had lost everything. Her scenes were still disoriented and her mind was racing.
The car came to a stop in the back parking lot of the Tashio mansion. Sesshomaru pulled the key's out of the starter and just sat their. He knew he didn't want to leave her. Did she want him to leave? Her scent was now masked.
'Probably so the half breeds do not smell her excitement.' He thought to himself.
Kagome looked at him. Her blue crystal clear oceans were getting lost his fiery molten depths as they starred at each other.
He leaned in closer and her heart started to beat faster.
Was he going to kiss her? Did he even want to kiss her? Did she want him to kiss her?
He leaned in so he was inches away from her face. Instead of kissing her he licked her lips in a sensual tease. He smirked and pulled back, exiting the car.
"Damn it." Kagome breathed, her thoughts scattered.
Exiting the car she muttered curses under her breath. How could she be so exited by him? As far as she could tell he was an emotionless block of ice. Yet, he showed emotion around her. He did smile at her. He did talk to her.
"Stupid confusing demon." She muttered.
Walking to the front the house she saw the others pull into the driveway. InuYasha gaped when he seen her.
"How did you get here before us?" InuYasha demanded of her, getting out of the car.
"Sesshomaru took a back road." Kagome told him, keeping her clam, although her body was still exited from the ride.
"How fast did he go?" InuYasha asked her.
"I didn't dare look." Kagome replied in a slight whisper as she walked over to Gin and Sango.
Kagome made her way to stand beside Gin and Sango while Miroku lay barely conscious on the ground. Gin narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Why is your scent masked?" Gin asked Kagome.
Kagome racked her brain for a suitable response. Her brain betrayed her, nothing came into mind.
"Probably because Sesshomaru made her." Sango offered, not catching onto the bigger meaning.
"Yeah, doesn't like the scent of human's too much." Kagome laughed slightly, trying to clear the air.
Sango helped Miroku up and headed over to InuYasha while Gin and Kagome stood their.
"I know that that is not the real reason Kagome." Gin announced.
Kagome sighed, she knew she could trust Gin, or so her mind and heart told her she could.
"Okay, you're right." Kagome sighed.
"What happened?" Gin asked her, wanting to know very badly.
"Nothing really major happened." Kagome told her.
"What did he do to make you have to mask your scent then?" Gin asked her.
"Well when he was driving he was kind of going as fast as my car would let him and it just…exited me. I don't know why." Kagome explained to her.
"Is that it?" Gin asked.
"Well then…he…uhh…" Kagome stuttered.
"What did he do Kagome?" Gin asked, now wanting to know more then ever.
Kagome and her were become close in a very short time. Gin wanted to know if Kagome liked Sesshomaru for Gin already had a plot in mind to get them together. Gin was good at those things.
"Helickedme." Kagome said, extremely fast.
"What!" Gin exclaimed.
"Shh." Kagome scolded her. "I thought he was going to kiss me but he didn't." Kagome told her.
"You like him!" Gin yelled at her, but her voice remained in a whisper.
"I do not!" Kagome retorted, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"You do not what?" InuYasha asked her.
"Never mind, let's go inside." Gin announced.
The five walked inside. Gin near prancing at her new information, and her new self appointed task.
They made their way into the living room area and sat on the couches, chatting casually. As if not to draw more attention to herself she unmasked her scent, which had calmed down.
"So, did you enjoy your first day?" Miroku asked Kagome.
"Yeah, it was fine." Kagome told him.
"That's good. Perhaps you will stay then?" Miroku asked.
"Perhaps." Kagome replied, not knowing the answer to that question at the moment.
"Did you want to stay for dinner Kagome?" Gin asked her.
"Sure, why not." Kagome told her.
"Well then can you do us a favor?" InuYasha asked her.
"Yeah, sure." Kagome replied.
"Go ask Sesshomaru if pizza is okay." Gin told Kagome.
Kagome glared at her for a split second before she got up. Kagome stopped a foot short of the door.
"Where's his room?" Kagome asked.
"Go up the stairs and to your right. His door's the one on the right." InuYasha told her.
Kagome sighed and trudged up the stairs, Following the directions InuYasha had given her she knocked on the wooden door. Shifting from foot to foot, feeling a bit embarrassed, Sesshomaru opened his door, a smirk on his face.
"Uhh…InuYasha wanted to know if you were okay with pizza." Kagome told him, not looking him directly in the eyes.
"Tell InuYasha that I do not care." Sesshomaru replied, leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest.
Kagome nodded and went to go back downstairs.
"I see that your scent is unmasked, may I ask why it was in the first place?" Sesshomaru asked her, knowing full well why and his smirk growing by the second.
Kagome stood frozen to the spot. What was she supposed to say?
"I didn't think you'd want to smell my scent while you were around." Kagome told him, knowing the excuse was not even close to being believable.
"Are you sure?" Sesshomaru asked, stepping out of his room and behind her.
Kagome stiffed and nodded. Her jaw locked and her mind racing again. Sesshomaru moved slightly closer, so his breath was tickling her neck. Kagome felt like jelly. She could melt into his embrace at any second.
No she did not just think that.
"Come get me when it arrives Kagome." Sesshomaru whispered to her, nipping at her ear lightly before returning to his room, leaving Kagome frustrated again.
As she headed back towards the living room she masked her scent again and tried to calm herself.
"What did he say?" InuYasha asked her, as she game back in and sat across from him and Gin.
"He told me to come get him when it arrived." Kagome told him.
"Good, pizza it is." InuYasha replied, getting up.
"We must be off." Sango told the remaining two companions as she dragged Miroku out the door.
"Bye." Kagome and Gin replied in unison.
"Your scent is masked again." Gin announced, after the front door was heard shutting.
Kagome nodded, still trying to suppress herself.
"The pizza will be here in forty minutes, what should me do until then?" InuYasha asked the two girls as he re-entered the living room.
InuYasha plopped down beside Gin and draped an arm over her shoulders. If Kagome hadn't been their, they would have probably been making out at that moment.
There was an awkward silence.
"Err if you want you can uhh watch tv while Gin and I go uhh…" InuYasha stuttered.
"Go ahead, just be down here before the pizza shows up." Kagome told him, smiling a bit, who was she to stand in the way of a couple?
Gin smiled at Kagome as a thank you as InuYasha and her made there way upstairs. Grabbing the remote Kagome started to flip through channels. Sitting there for over ten minutes constantly flipping through channels with no success at finding anything to watch she felt someone sit beside her.
"Where is InuYasha?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"He's upstairs with Gin." Kagome told him, not looking at him.
"I wonder what they are doing this time." Sesshomaru sighed.
"I'd rather not intrude on their privacy and find out." Kagome replied, still flipping through endless channels.
Sesshomaru watched Kagome.
Why did she intrigue him so? He wondered if she felt the same.
Yes, he would find out.
In a swift movement he grabbed the controller and turned the television off. Kagome turned her head to protest but didn't get a word in. For before she could Sesshomaru had pulled her against him and pressed his lips on hers forcefully.

Demeter Hera: I do hope you enjoyed it. Yes, I decided to make this one a 'cliff hanger' and I do promise to update as soon as I can. For I am starting school in a matter of three days and a new job in a matter of four days. But I promise to not keep the waiting period over one week, unless I absolutely have to. Be sure to comment about the new story idea, for I have the first chapter almost complete if you do want me to post it. Also I do recommend reading the author Veata. A person favourite of mine is her story Midnight Mornings. Until we meet again.
