Summary: When Inuyasha dies in a battle with Naraku, what will Kagome do? Will she find a new love? And where does Sesshomaru fit in here?

Chapter Three

Kagome awoke sweating again. She took a deep breath, and looked at the door to Kaede's hut. Sesshomaru was still there. His eyes closed. Kagome shivered once and found herself wishing that she were in his arms again, where it was warm. 'Whoa, Kagome, where did that one come from?' Kagome mentally slapped herself. 'I wonder why he's being so nice to me. Could it be that the Great Lord Sesshomaru, aka The Ice Prince, is going soft?' Kagome shook her head and stared out the window at the moon.

She returned her gaze to Sesshomaru and looked at him intently. His long white hair fluttered in a small breeze, flashing in the moonlight. The two maroon stripes that adorned his cheeks stood out against his pale skin and the blue crescent moon on his forehead appeared to glow in the moonlight. Upon Kagome's insistence, Sesshomaru had removed the pelt and his bulky armor for the night. Now she could she a lean and muscular man. He was really handsome now that she thought about it. And tall. 'And did I mention muscular?' Kagome thought with a smile.

"Undressing me with your eyes? Kagome, I thought you were more mature than that." Kagome gave a start. Sesshomaru's molten gold pools stared at her and a grin crossed over his lips at his own joke. A sharp fang protruded from his mouth and shone in the moonlight. He was a sight of deadly beauty, and Kagome was speechless.

"Didn't know I was awake? I'm always awake." Kagome only barely heard him. She was thinking about what would happen later today after the sun rose, when she turned twenty. Yesterday she had finally managed to stop crying. And she asked Sesshomaru why he was still here.

He had merely shrugged and said,

'I'm curious.'

'Of what?' Kagome had asked.

'You.'

Kagome had frowned and said. 'Curiosity killed the cat, Sesshomaru.'

'Well I'm not a cat am I?'

Ironically, the demon lord had a good sense of humor, and he wasn't afraid to use it. Kagome looked up and was startled to see Sesshomaru right in front of her, his face inches from her own. "Ahh! Sesshomaru, don't scare me like that!" Kagome hissed. He smirked again, his pale lips stretching to reveal sharp pointed fangs. His breath was hot and engaging on her face and Kagome began to breathe faster, her heart racing. She blinked once, twice, and could've sworn he had moved his face closer when she blinked. She blinked again, and Sesshomaru's lips were so close to her mouth that Kagome could almost taste him. Butterflies began to form in her stomach and she scooted back a little. As she blinked again Sesshomaru was almost closer than he had been before, smirking at her uneasiness.

Sesshomaru liked this new little game that he'd just made up. Every time the woman would blink he'd get closer. He had grown attached to the woman over the past week, and he so badly wanted to capture her lips in a heated kiss. He was about to do it now, but he was having too much fun. "Something wrong Kagome?" He whispered as he looked from her startled blue orbs to her full red lips.

"N-no…" She whispered, in a raspy voice.

"Good." He stated quietly, and the next second she blinked. He brushed his lips against hers with a feathery light touch and he felt her shiver under him in pleasure.

"What are you doing?" She whispered, and watched him through half closed eyes.

He didn't say anything to her, instead he decided to fully take her lips with his. Her eyes fluttered closed and she sighed into his mouth. He smirked inwardly, completely satisfied with himself.

Kagome relished in the feel of his hot mouth on hers, and slowly let him push her back down onto her mat. He licked her lips with his tongue and without thinking she opened her mouth to let him in. His tongue mingled with hers, coaxing it out of her own mouth and into his. He tasted sugary and sweet; and as he kissed her he rubbed the base of her neck, causing Kagome to moan into his mouth.

Slowly, Sesshomaru felt her arms encircle his neck and pull him close. He was completely on top of her now. Without realizing it his hands began to roam. One hand held him up so he wouldn't crush her under him. But the other hand was a little braver. It moved from her neck down her back around the side of her waist and rested on her hip. He squeezed slightly and Kagome sighed. Before he could stop himself, his hand grew a mind of its own and slipped under the hem of her shirt. Slowly it made it's way up her smooth stomach and ran into a piece of hard cloth. He growled in irritation and slipped his hand under the fabric anyway. Kagome gasped quietly for Sesshomaru's hand had grasped her breast. Liking the way it felt, she arched her back off the mat pushing her chest into his hand. Sesshomaru's mischievous hand grasped her breast tightly and he began to rub it slowly and roughly. She moaned underneath him and arched her back more. Unbeknownst to her this had also caused her hips to move up between Sesshomaru's legs. Frowning into his mouth Kagome lay back down and moved her legs out from under him. Bending her knees and arching her back she lifted her hips up to Sesshomaru's. She moaned and rubbed up against him. He growled in satisfaction and continued to kiss her fiercely. He was finally getting to ravish her lips, and all he had expected to get in return was a small amount of feedback from her.

Pleased she wanted him also; he pushed her down onto the mat and lowered himself more so he could press up against her. His lips left her mouth and moved down her neck. His hand moved itself from her breast and pulled the neck of her shirt and bra down. His lips moved over her breast and he kissed it before letting go of her shirt.

Finally he pulled away, and kissed Kagome's forehead. She was breathing raggedly and whined when he broke away. Sesshomaru placed a finger upon her lips, and said, "Go to sleep, lovely, you've much to worry about when the sun rises." With that he removed his finger, pecking her on the lips once more, and stood up. He walked back to the door and closed his eyes. "Oh and remember lovely, I'm always awake."

Kagome blinked her eyes open when the sunlight touched her face. Sitting up, she looked over at the door. Sesshomaru was gone. She frowned for a moment then touched her lips. Kagome then did the best impression of a beet that any one could ever hope to see. His lips last night had felt so... so...good. That was the only word that she could find that described it well enough.

Throwing off the pelt he had placed over her sometime during the night, Kagome got up; and she searched for a towel, a clean change of warm clothes, and some soap, then she bounded outside to the hot springs near the village.

Kagome felt ecstatic, much better than she had felt in a while. And she almost forgot to take her clothes off before she jumped in the water. Slowly, she sank into the warm water sighing. Bending her head back she wet her hair. Then after it was fully soaked, she put some of her shampoo in her hair and rubbed it in thoroughly. When she finished, she washed out the soap and then washed her body off. At last when she felt she was done, she began to get out of the water.

"Shouldn't you have to worry about someone watching you while you do that?" Came a voice that was all too familiar to Kagome now. The girl jumped and ducked into the water, yelping loudly in surprise.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome called exasperatedly. "What are you doing!?"

"Trying to make pigs fly." He said bluntly and jumped out of the tree he'd been lounging in (the entire time Kagome was bathing). Kagome huffed indignantly and covered her breasts with her arms.

Sesshomaru looked at her and said, "I don't know why you're doing that. I've been in that tree the whole time you were out here. Sorry lovely, but it's too late, I've seen you top to bottom now." He smirked at his own personal triumph and Kagome got goose bumps when she saw his teeth glint in the sun.

"I don't care what you've seen! I don't want you to see it again! Now turn around so I can get out and get dressed!" Kagome said angrily.

"Alright, fine, but don't blame me, you should have known I was there." Sesshomaru replied and turned to face away from her.

"I had something on my mind." She said crossly, and stepped out of the water.

"For someone who's never been kissed, you were pretty damn good. " The demon replied guessing her thoughts. "Are you sure you aren't lying?"

"Of course I'm sure- and hey! Don't peek at me!" She hissed at Sesshomaru as he glanced back at her.

"That was not peeking." He said, smirking. "This is peeking!" He added and turned all the way around as Kagome was drying off. She yelped again when he pressed his index finger against her collarbone, pushing her back into the water. She came up sputtering, with her long hair in her face. From her shoulders up, that and her knees were thankfully the only things that rose above the surface of the water.

Suddenly Kagome heard a deep rolling sound that filled her up and made her feel good. She parted her hair and looked out from the thick, black curtain at Sesshomaru, who was standing on the shore laughing, that's right, laughing!

Kagome smirked, leaning her head back to fix her hair. Then she stood up, thinking, ' If he's already seen me naked, then who cares?' She walked out of the water without covering herself up and stopped in front of a very quiet Sesshomaru, squeezing out her hair. Then she very slowly circled him and walked forward a bit making him step back. She finally managed to back him up enough so that if she pushed him, he would fall in the water, clothes and all.

She leaned up very close to his face as if she was going to kiss him, and then gave him a little push on the chest, causing him to fall backwards into the water, like she did.

Sesshomaru came up wiping the white hair out of his face, only to hear musical laughter coming from the shore. There stood Kagome, in all her naked beauty, laughing at him, just as he had laughed at her.

Reaching up, he grabbed her arm and pulled her in. The woman wiped the hair from her face just in time to be pulled into Sesshomaru's strong embrace, and be kissed fiercely by the same beautiful man. Again they shared a long heated kiss like the one from the night before. Though, this one included more moaning and growling.

"Kagome, I didn't know you had it in you." Came an amazed voice from the shore. Sesshomaru pulled Kagome away and placed her behind him. Miroku stood gawking at the two from the shoreline.

"How come you didn't tell me he was coming?" Kagome hissed in Sesshomaru's ear hiding from the lecher behind the demon.

"I didn't notice him coming!" Sesshomaru hissed back.

"You didn't notice him coming!" Kagome asked in shock.

"I was busy if you didn't notice. And I believe you were helping." The demon mumbled. Kagome blushed a deep red. Then she looked at Miroku, he was watching the interaction between the two intently, with a curious look on his face.

"How long have you been there!?" Kagome called to the monk angrily. He smiled mischievously.

"Oh, well I saw him push you in Kagome, and I saw you give him a nice little come back," The monk winked. "I think I liked it as mush as he did." Kagome blushed beet red and ducked behind Sesshomaru, avoiding the monk's gaze.

"Will you make him go away?" The poor girl hissed in Sesshomaru's ear again. He smiled impishly and asked her,

"Why?" in the most innocent tone the demon could muster. Kagome huffed and replied haughtily, "Because I don't like it when men see me naked!" she growled out.

"Well I've seen you naked." Sesshomaru said loudly. Miroku smirked, as Sesshomaru smiled wickedly. Kagome started to pout. To Sesshomaru, it was the cutest face she'd made yet.

"You're different…" She whispered. And made a silent deal with Sesshomaru that she'd let him watch her bathe from now on, if he'd keep Miroku and other lechers away.

"That's a deal lovely." He whispered into her ear, his hot breath causing Kagome to shiver pleasurably. "Alright monk, get out of here." Sesshomaru said in a commanding tone.

Miroku stood at attention and saluted Sesshomaru, (something Kagome had taught them a long time ago) "Yes sir!" The monk yelled. He did an about face and proceeded to march back to the village.

"Alright, let's see, where I was...oh yeah." Sesshomaru turned around to take hold of Kagome's face, carefully making sure that he didn't cut her with his claws and pulling her lips up to slowly kiss her, making the girl whimper. Sesshomaru pulled away, kissing up and down her neck, making Kagome moan.

"Now get dressed or we'll get all pruney in here." He whispered in Kagome's ear. She shivered again.

"Mmm hmmm…" she mumbled and got quickly into her clothes. Sesshomaru got out after her and disappeared for a moment. When he returned he had Kagome's hairbrush and his clothes were dry.

"Come here, I'll brush your hair out." He offered, pulling her into his arms and leaping into a tree.

Well, watcha think? Let me know! Review!
