Authors Note: I do not own Inu-Yasha

Ha ha ha! I'm pumped and so hyper, crazy, happy. Today was a day off from school so I got to go to the mall with my friends (did great on a super crazy hard DDR song) and then came home and went Christmas shopping with my mom. I got everything done and I found Inu-Yasha posters! I went crazy. At the store they had Inu-Yasha posters, t-shirts, stickers and a backpack so I went uber crazy. I got a poster for myself and love it. Not only that but also I live in Canada and watch this GREAT anime called Witch Hunter Robin and I just LOVE it now. The episodes are finally getting exciting and I'm sooo hyper… I just had milk! Ha! Ok, I would be uploading chapter 19 right now but my internet is down and my brother has to come home and fix it and he'll probably be home tommorow…sigh oh well, I'm still hyper so I decided to write a chapter for you guys!

Chapter 20: Audacious Kagome

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

The old friends in the room laughed and giggled, talking about the old days, which were not so very old at all. Kagome frowned when she noticed that the time had passed quickly and now it was time to go back to the party. Kagome got up slowly and smiled.

"Ok guys, we have to get back to the party, it's about to end!"

Everyone shrugged and Kyoko was the first to get up. Everyone stared up at her.

"I guess I should be getting back to work." She blushed as she turned to Inu-Yasha. "It was nice to meet you… Inu-Yasha."

Inu-Yasha blushed and just looked away.

"Yah, yah, whatever." He murmured.

Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were giggling behind hands and thought the whole situation was cute. Kyoko nodded and left the room. Finally the three gigglers at long last were able to break free and started burst out laughing.

"You are so dumb Inu-Yasha!" Kagome laughed happily.

"HEY! WHAT IS THAT FOR?" Inu-Yasha yelled getting up and shaking his fist at Kagome.

"Sit boy!" Kagome chimed happily.

"Damn you! Don't you think it's about time you took this thing off me? I mean, you're with Sesshomaru now…"

Kagome's playful smile faded into a sorrowful frown.

"It, it wasn't my choice. You're with Kikyou. You decided my fate." Kagome slowly looked away as tears started to form. Inu-Yasha flinched before running over and grabbing her by the shoulders.

"No, I didn't mean it that way. Please don't cry Kagome… Please don't cry!"

"Let go!" Kagome growled, frustrated. Kagome went to push Inu-Yasha away but when her hand reached his chest a powerful force came from her hand, sending Inu-Yasha stumbling backwards. Kagome's tears were replaced with surprise in her eyes. Sango and Miroku quickly went over to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha was staring at Kagome in disbelief.

"I… I didn't mean to… I'm… so sorry." Kagome mumbled. She ran over and fell to her knees right beside Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha was leaning up now.

"Kagome how'd you do that?" Inu-Yasha asked, still phased from what happened.

"I've never done it before. It's all-new to me. I think it was my miko power… I haven't been practicing and have been hiding my feelings but…"

"I knew it. No wonder Sesshomaru likes having you around. Your afraid of him and keep any anger you have bottled up inside. You have just been putting on an act." Inu-Yasha said smirking.

"Urusai! Osuwari!" Kagome growled with fists clenched.

Inu-Yasha growled as he picked himself from the ground to find his friends already leaving.

"Lets go guys, the party ends in ten minuets." Kagome said leading out of the room.

"Hey wait up!" Inu-Yasha scowled getting up and running after them.

Sesshomaru stopped talking to one of the leaders from a wolf clan when he felt someone lean up against his arm. He looked down to see it was Kagome. She looked up at him with a smile on her face, but Sesshomaru could see she had been crying. He wanted to ask her what was wrong but then he noticed the party was supposed to end. He put his arm around Kagome's waist to pull her closer before announcing the party's end.

"I thank you all for coming." He said as he moved to the door to say good bye to everyone.

Everyone smiled and applauded, as they got ready to leave, some already at the door saying goodbye.

Sesshomaru would mention some kind of leaving message for each person. A lot of the people complemented Kagome, saying they'd love to see her next year, which got Kagome to blush. Finally Kouga came up and kissed Kagome's hand getting Sesshomaru to growl. Kouga smiled at her.

"Nice to see you Kagome, if you ever want to leave just look for me." He said making Kagome flush.

"I don't think I'll take you up on your offer." She said making Kouga frown before moving on. Next were the leaders, to which Kagome and Sesshomaru would bow to. Kouga's mother stopped in front of Kagome and smiled at her.

"I expect great things from you, do not let me down." She said to Kagome still smiling. Kagome glanced up to see what Sesshomaru thought but he was too busy in conversation with the Lord of the South.

That was the last person; at least that's what Kagome and Sesshomaru thought. Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru and he put an arm around her waist. Kagome leaned up to kiss him before they heard an abrupt 'ahem'. Sesshomaru cursed under his breath as he looked up to see his brother and his brother's friends staring at them. Sango and Miroku were curious whereas Inu-Yasha just looked annoyed, very annoyed.

"Leave that until EVERYONE is gone." Inu-Yasha growled. "And besides, if you hurt Kagome and I'll break every bone in your body. She isn't a toy."

Kagome flushed completely and stood frozen in spot. Sesshomaru was annoyed that he had been too entranced with Kagome's scent to even notice his stupid little brothers scent.

"Good bye, Inu-Yasha." Sesshomaru said sounding board, hiding his annoyance.

"Good bye to you too." Inu-Yasha barked sarcastically as he walked out the door but he stopped when he felt something grab his shoulder.

Kagome grabbed Inu-Yasha's shoulder to stop him from leaving. Inu-Yasha turned to look at her and she leapt into a hug.

"Bye Inu-Yasha. Until we meet again." She whispered into his ear. Inu-Yasha smiled at his brother who looked quite mad at the whole situation, making Inu-Yasha pull Kagome closer. Finally Kagome pulled away.

"Bye." She cooed as she pulled away and hugged her other friends, saying good bye. Soon the door was closing and Kagome turned around to look at Sesshomaru. She smiled at him and went to him. He just stood still, watching her come up to him.

Kagome leaned up and used a hand to pull down Sesshomaru's face. She gently kissed him on the cheek before leaving to go to her room.

"Good night my Lord." Kagome purred, swishing her tail as she went, daring Sesshomaru to follow, but he did not. Sesshomaru just stared, entranced with the woman walking away from him.

"Why, do I find myself lured to this woman?" He asked himself silently. He headed off to his room but decided to go somewhere else before.

Kagome had happily walked into her room and changed into her nighty, feeling lighter then air. Her heart was pounding. She jumped onto the bed laughing.

"Why does he entrance me so? Oh why oh why oh why?" She joked happily in a sing-song voice. She was too busy talking to herself to hear the door open a smidge and to smell Sesshomaru who was listening on the other side. He had come to say goodnight, something he forgot to say as she left in a hurry, but he decided not to disturb her. He just couldn't get himself away from the door. He gazed longingly at Kagome in her silk nightgown on the bed, chattering to herself. He decided to listen in for a few seconds.

Kagome sighed happily falling onto her back, bouncing on the fluffy bed. She grasped her pillow, hugging it tightly. "Oh, Sesshomaru! How can you make my heart beat so fast? How could only you make me shiver at your touch? Not even Inu-Yasha could do that… how could a Lord such as you entrance me? I wish I could pick up the courage to say… I Lo…"

Sesshomaru didn't hear the rest of what Kagome said because he heard footsteps coming down the hall. He quickly and quietly closed the door and went over to Rin's door, getting ready to open it.

"Oh! Sesshomaru my Lord! What are you doing in these corridors?" Kyoko said gleaming as she walked up to Sesshomaru, bowing and then getting up again.

"I just came to check on Rin before I went to…" Sesshomaru mentioned boringly.

Sesshomaru was about to finish but the door next door opened and Kagome poked her head out. "Oh, hello my Lord! You just reminded me that I have to check on Rin." Kagome said happily blushing, wondering if he had heard her chattering. 'Of course he didn't Kagome! Why would Sesshomaru waste his time listening to a young woman talk to herself?' Kagome thought to herself, chastising herself for thinking something so stupid. She stepped out and saw Sesshomaru's eyes on her body. She blushed in modesty remembering she was wearing her skimpy silk nighty. But she stepped over boldly anyways walking right up to Sesshomaru putting her hand on Sesshomaru's, which was on the door. She looked him straight in the eye. Kyoko was grinning as she watched the two before deciding to leave.

"It's quite alright Sesshomaru-Sama. I'll check on her, she is supposed to be my responsibility and I should have been taking care of her tonight, it would be unfair of me to ask you to take care of my job when you have already done so much for me. I wouldn't be able to stay here if I wasn't doing my job anyways." Kagome said as her eyes danced, challenging Sesshomaru to disagree. Sesshomaru seemed taken aback by Kagome's audacity but was amused by it.

"Then I guess there would be nothing wrong with both of us going in?" Sesshomaru said seeming to take Kagome's challenge. He just wanted to see Kagome longer in truth.

"No there is not. Shall we?" Kagome cooed, keeping her hand on Sesshomaru's and turning the knob. Sesshomaru watched keenly as her hand firmly grasped around his own and slowly turned the knob.

Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru, telling him to get in first, but Sesshomaru put an arm around her waist scooting her into the room before him. The two of them walked up to opposite sides of the bed that Rin was sleeping in, Kagome on the right, Sesshomaru on the left. Sesshomaru stayed standing while Kagome sat on the bed and placed her hand softly on Rin's head, moving away Rin's bangs. Kagome bent down and kissed Rin on the forehead and Rin's eyes fluttered open.

"Kagome?" Rin said wearily rubbing her eyes. She then turned to Sesshomaru and smiled up at him. " Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Good night Rin." Sesshomaru said quickly, moving to get out of the room.

"Good night my Lord." Rin called back as he closed the door behind him. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and sighed as he leaned back on the door, his hand still on the knob. Kagome would make a great mother to his offspring; she had proven to be an even better mate. He had not been so attracted to anyone as he was with Kagome. If he hadn't left the room he would have done something without thinking. He opened his eyes and left to go to his room. Kagome loved him and he would have heard those sweet words from Kagome herself if Kyoko hadn't come.

"She never seizes to amaze me… my Kagome…" Sesshomaru said to himself, liking how the 'my Kagome' part sounded. He could get used to that.

"So will you tell me about the party? I can't wait until Lord Sesshomaru allows me to attend these parties!" Rin said excitedly.

"Well I'll tell you tommorow. Kagome is tiered right now and you should be too. Did you have fun with Kyoko?" Kagome said smiling at the small child at her side.

"Oh, yes! I showed her all the things you taught me to do!" Rin's voice chimed gleefully.

"That's good. Now it's bed time for Rin and Kagome. K?" Kagome said as she tucked the girl in again and kissed the little girls forehead again.

"Mmkay!" Rin yawned tiredly as she slowly fell back asleep.

Kagome grinned as she walked out the door and closed it again. She tiredly walked into her own room and plopped into bed, blowing out the light giving candles by her bed.

"Why does he entrance me so? Oh why oh why oh why?" Kagome murmured softly, lulling herself to sleep. "Oh why… Oh why… Oh… Why?"

Quotes of the Chapter

Yes its quotes of the chapter because I couldn't choose one out of the three that was better.

"Good night my Lord." Kagome purred, swishing her tail as she went, daring Sesshomaru to follow, but he did not. Sesshomaru just stared, entranced with the woman walking away from him. (Okay, you can't say this is a cute, romantic, awesome sentence. When I did it I was like…YAY! Lol)

"Urusai! Osuwari!" Kagome growled with fists clenched. (Ok, I had two, this one I just HAD to add. I mean it's from my favorite episode EVER! Fateful Night in Togenkyo Part 2. I mean seriously, it's the best! )

"She never seizes to amaze me… my Kagome…" Sesshomaru said to himself. (My Kagome… that is SO romantic!)
