/Warm. I haven't felt warm in so long. Why now? Where am I? Why can't I move? I need to move! I feel eyes, where are they? Who do they belong to? Oh, please don't hurt me! I didn't do anything! Let me go/

Burst struggles under the sheets she has somehow managed to tangle around herself while Sesshomaru watches with some concern as fear presents itself on her face. He leans foward and gently places a hand on her shoulder and whispers,

"Burst, can you hear me? Calm down, you're alright. Wake up."

Burst's body slowly calms down, but she gives no indication that she's awake, whick makes Sesshomaru's worry increase. He carefully tugs at the sheets until they're untangled and at the end of the bed, then he sits down and gently picks her up and puts her in his lap. Her head rolls to where it's resting against his neck and he shivers slightly at the feel of her wark breath over his skin. He scoots back till his back is against the headboard of the bed and slightly relaxes, moving his hand up and down one of her arms in a comforting motion.

/I'm not trapped anymore, but someone's holding me and talking to me. Who? Why can't I remember anything? At least they're not trying to harm me. But what do they want with me? They feel familiar somehow.../

Burst stirs and starts to properly awaken. She feels the comfort of Sesshomaru's body before she completely recognizes him and freezes while still mostly asleep. She feels not the familiarity, but the danger.

"What do you want with me? Where am I? Please don't hurt me," she whispers.

Sesshomaru is shocked at hearing the words coming from her mouth, but quickly reasons that she must not be fully awake yet. He puts his other arm around her and hugs her tenderly.

"Calm down, Burst. You know that I would never harm you. You know where you are, you came here on your own free will. You're not awake yet."

She opens her eyes and looks into his golden ones while trying to collect herself. She hugs him and buries her face into the junction between his neck and shoulder, once she has everything in order she looks back into his eyes and smiles.

"That's better. Would you tell me what's wrong?" Sesshomaru says when he sees Burst's smile.

"Nothing is wrong, I just got lost in my dream. Sorry that I lost it there for a moment," She says while avoiding his gaze.

Sesshomaru feels her need to keep this private and dosn't pry any further. Instead he gently cups her check and pulls her face back to look at him. She holds his gaze before dropping her eyes, then suddenly turns beat-red and has a look on her face that has Sesshomaru laughing. She scrambles off of his lap and the bed and gives him the best glare she can, which just makes him double over with laughter since her face is still extremely red.

He sobers up after awhile but still has a statistic smirk on his face, for which Burst promptly tackles him (he had moved to the edge of the bed) to wipe it off. They proceed to wrestle around on the bed, and it ends up that Sesshomaru has Burst pinned to the bed and both of them are panting for breath. Sesshomaru's face suddenly takes on a wicked little grin, which makes Burst freeze in trying to get free. He moves to where she is still perfectly pinned, but he's completely laying on her, at which she lets out a large puff of breath and starts teasing him.

"Man, you've put on some weight!"

This gets the reaction she expected, his face blushing with anger, but it quickly subsides and the evil smirk takes its place. He takes her pinned arms into one hand above her head and the other hand strays down to her belly and promptly starts to tickle her. Her breath bursts out of her in gales of laughter, and soon she is wriggling underneath him to try and get away. She finds that it is impossible to break free and resorts to sucking in a deep breath and capturing his lips in a kiss that shocks him into stillness. After a bit he returns the kiss and the hand that was previously tickling her belly started rubbing it sensually while his other hand still kept her hands pinned. They break from the kiss in order to breath and gaze at each other fondly. Burst once again trys to remove her wrists from Sesshomaru's iron grip, at which he chuckles softly and releases her. She sits up, bringing him with her, and cuddles into his warmth. He wraps his arms around her and places his chin on her head.

They stay this way until the sun is going down, when Burst's stomach growls telling Sesshomaru that she needs food. He chuckles at the light blush on her face and makes an "after you" guesture. She starts to move off the bed, when fate intervenes, and her support gives way so that she has to flail a bit before falling back on the bed, where her hand found something hard to take hold of. She feels Sesshomaru stiffen and he lets out a low moan, at which time she realizes what her hand had taken hold of. She could feel her face turning red and she snatches her hand away from his forbidden area, before seeing that his face has taken on a light blush and that he is panting quietly while hiding his eyes under his bangs. Hesitantly she raises her hand and tilts his face up so that he would look at her.

Sesshomaru's eyes lock Burst's and his blush becomes more prominant. She leans foward so that thier noses are just slightly touching and gently speaks.

"Don't be emarrassed, it's alright. This proves that you're body is working properly," she says, lightly teasing him.

"No," he says after closing his eyes, "it's not alright. I don't want you to feel pressured into being with me."

"You silly fluffball," she chuckles, the nickname immediately grabbing his slightly annoyed attention, "no one can pressure me into anything. Especially not when I'm already in love with them."

Sesshomaru's eyes go wide as Burst utters the last few words, his heart pounding loud enough for her to hear. She smiles and then suddenly blushes slightly before rising and tracing his cresent moon with her tongue. His mouth falls open and his eyes shut tightly as his body freezes rigedly and he gives a moan that sends shivers down Burst's spine before going completely limp and falling foward into her arms. Once he regains his spine she chuckles.

"It's almost time for dinner. Might I suggest that you put on a pair of pants that don't look like you sat in a puddle of water?" She says, not one to resist the opportunity to tease her love.

Sesshomaru rolls his eyes at her before getting off the bed. The little devil grin came back and he looks back to Burst.

"Since you know that I love you, you won't mind if I change here," he replies silkly.

She only has time to wonder what he is doing now before his lightning fast hands have untied the only sash keeping his outfit on and it drops to his feet, letting her see that he goes commando.

"GAH! MY BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN EYES!" she yells while both throwing a pillow at him and diving for the safety of the other side of the bed.

The pillow hits Sesshomaru in the face and explodes into a million feathers as he laughs and strides over to the closet.

"You had better get some cloths on! I'll hurt you if you come over here the way you are, Fluffy!" comes Burst's voice from her hiding place on the other side of the bed.

Sesshomaru had a witty comeback ready until he heard what she called him.

"What?" he quickly asks.

"You heard me!" she replies.

"No, what the heck did you just call me?"

"What," she asks innocently," you mean Fluffy? 'Cause that's your new name from now on!"

Sesshomaru already has the new outfit on when he stalks over and trys to grab Burst. She ducks his hand and manages to get past him to the door, where she spins around and waves.

"Now don't be late for dinner, Fluffy!" she says sweetly before having to slam the door shut since he had launched himself at her and race down the halls.
