Anyways! on with the festivities. I really hope you guys are loving my story.

Kagome rummaged through her closet for her sleeping bag, tossing out shoes and clothes that got in her path. Sesshomaru watched in mild amusement. He was seated on Kagome's bed, sitting cross-legged with his elbows resting on his knees and his chin resting in his hands. His silver hair fell around his shoulders, framing his ivory face.

"Ah-hah! found it!I knew it was in here somewhere. " she cried victoriously, pulling forth a light pink( AN: I personally hate pink, but it seems like a color Kagome would like) sleeping bag. Sesshomaru merely quirked an eyebrow at her enthusiasm. Kagome gulped as she saw Sesshomaru sitting on her bed, looking incredibly sexy.

Kagome steadied her shaking knees, andcarried her sleeping bag over, laiding it on the floor beside the bed.

"So...I'll sleep on the floor and you can sleep on my bed.I wouldn't want your old bones to get sore....." she mumbled the last part, smirking slightly, forgetting Sesshomaru's hearing.

Sesshomaru growled and suddenly Kagome was being held tightly against the wall of her room. Kagome gasped in suprise, her eyes showing suprise. Sesshomaru growled at her in mock anger, his eyes held amusement. Sesshomaru placed his lips close to her ear, his soft lips brushing against her.

"So.....I'm old, am I?" he whispered quietly, causing Kagome to shiver in pleasure. She couldn't produce one coherent thought, much less answer him.

He chuckled, placing slow kisses upon her neck. " This Sesshomaru will be sleeping in your room tonight....I would not tease me unless you can withstand the consequences." he said, smirking. Her knees felt like jelly and an ache began to fill her. She pushed Sesshomaru away from her.

"Humph. You're bluffing. You wouldn't try anything." she said without conviction. She gasped again as she suddenly felt Sesshomaru kneeling down and lifting the bottom of her shirt a little. He kissed her smooth stomach, slowly heading south. His tongue slowly licked her creamy skin, and he began to SLOWLY tug down her pajama pants.

"Oh I wouldn't, would I?" he said, his lips coming off her skin for a moment. He looked deeply into her eyes while continueing to slowly inch her pants down.

Kagome's mind wasn't really functioning at the moment. Her demon sensed seemed to heighten evert sensation she was recieving. "Um....yes...I mean no!.....Wait!I mean yes......oh kami......" she rambled on, consumed by a pleasurable haze. ' i can't do this.....he's just playing with me.....he isn't serious.....i'll just get hurt again....he'll leave me....i was such a fool to let it go this far.....' told herself inwardly, trying to muster enough resolve to push him off of her again.

Common sense kicked in. She grabbed her pants and pulled them back up above her hips.

"Yes, you would try something. ButI won't let you. I can't let you. " she told him coldly, not looking him in the eyes. Sesshomaru rose to his feet, towering above her.

"As you wish." he said, just as coldly. He turned, walking over to her bed and sitting down. Kagome turned the lights off and slid into her sleeping bag, facing away from Sesshomaru. He sat against the wall in the darkness, pondering why Kagome would suddenly push him away.

'Why are you so bitter? Why do you guard yourself like this? How do you expect me to love you when you push me away?' he mused sadly.

Kagome couldn't fall asleep. 'Why can't I do this? Why doI have to be afraid of everything?' she became angry. ' Why amI so weak!?' she yelled inwardly. She suddenly realized her hands were wet. She looked at them from under her sleeping bag, they were bleeding a little. Her hands had unconsciously been clenched for the past few minutes. She angrily clenched them harder, watching in facination as the blood dripped down.

Suddenly the bottom of her sleeping bag was pulled, making her slide out onto the floor. Sesshomaru stood in the moonlight that was pouring in through the window, her sleeping bag in his arms. He tossed it in a corner, and walked over to Kagome, standing over her.

"Why are you bleeding?" he demanded in a calm, yet commanding voice. Kagome glared up at him shamefully at first.

"I...my claws......." She trailed off, thinking. Her head snapped up in defiance. "It's none of your business! It's MY blood, MY BODY." She told him angrily.

Sesshomaru grabbed her around the waist, hoisting her up onto his shoulder easily.

"What are you doing!?!? Put me down before you drop me!!!" she squealed in suprise and fear. Sesshomaru resisted the temptation to touch her perfectly shaped bottom.

"No." he said simply. He carried her to her bed and gently placed her ontop of it. "Stay." he commanded. Kagome glared at his back as he walked towards the bathroom. She heard him rummaging through the medicine cabinet. He was taking a long time and she yawned, curling up on her bed, her blood caked hands laying on her stomach. She fell asleep.

Sesshomaru walked back in the room with the first aid kit. A ghost of a smile graced his lips at the sight of her curled up on the bed. He laid the kit down on the bed and gently opened it. Taking out antibiotic ointment and bandages, he cleaned off her hands with a wet washcloth. Then he smeared the ointment on the punctures and covered them with bandages.

Sesshomaru picked up Kagome, holding her against him with one hand and pulled back the covers with the other. He placed her back on the bed and climbed in with her, pulling the covers around them both.

It took a moment for Kagome to fully comprehend where Sesshomaru was when she came awake. He was in her bed. But so was she. So.....he was in bed with her. Kagome's eyes shot open and she stiffened.

"Sesshomaru...." she murmured.

"Hmmm?"

"Why am I in bed with you?" she asked testily.

"Why shouldn't you be?" he countered.

"B-because! It's not right...." she said, flustered by his closeness. Sesshomaru sighed, then kissed her neck softly, eliciting a small contented sigh from her.

"Oh really? We aren't doing anything wrong." he told her. He buried his face in her hair at the nape of her neckand breathed deep. She smelled of sakura blossoms and jasmine.

"Hmmm.....if you try anything I'll kill you." she murmured sleepily. Sesshomaru chuckled and pulled her even closer to him.

"Even though it would amuse me greatly to see you try to kill me,I will honor your wishes. Tomorrow we will be going back to my time, and you need your rest. So go to sleep kagome." he said.

Soft, steady breathing was his only answer.

I know....it wasn't all that long.I didn't have a lot of time to write this. R&R, please. I need to know what you guys think.
