Here is the last chapter for . . . . . . dum. . . .dum. . . .duuuu. . . . . Playing Hard to Get !

In Previous Chapters, Sango got mad at Sesshoumaru for asking her a private question.

A few weeks had passed, and I had barely seen Sesshoumaru around. When we did cross paths, I would say a quick hey, but he would never respond. I finally broke our awkwardness when I was walking through the forest.

"I just want to apologize for snapping at you the other day. It just hard trying to getting over someone that I didn't know how to react."

He apologized also for anything he might have done or said.

I started to walk away, but I turned around to say something else.

"To show you how sorry I am, let me cook you dinner, tonight. Before you say no, I promise that you will not regret it."

Sesshoumaru smiled.

"Sure, why not."

" Great, stop by my place at sundown for a delicious meal."

On the dot, he was standing in front of my door with a bottle of wine. I opened the door and welcomed him in. We sat at my table and chatted over dinner. While biting into a grilled fish and rice, we started to talk about our backgrounds. At first, I felt kind of shy opening up to him, but as I sipped on my sake, I became more relaxed. I told him about how Naraku killed all my family and friends and try to make kill Inuyasha and how he brought my brother back to life to use him. He told me about his clan and his mother and how his father cheated on his mother with Inuyasha's mother.

Later, stepping outside on the balcony and watching the stars, he asked, "So, do you miss home?"

After sipping on my third glass of sake, I answered, "Not at all. Moving away was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time."

He placed his empty glass down on the table, separating us.

"I guess we all have made some bad decisions growing up."

"So I take it you made a bad decision that you wish you could take back?"

"Twenty years ago, I was dating this girl that I thought I was going to marry. We were together for two years when I proposed to her. I brought her this diamond ring that was hard to get. She said yes when I asked her. About three months before our wedding, she left me a note saying she was too young to get married, and that she was sorry."

"Ouch, I know that must have stung like hell?"

He stood up and rested his body on the railing.

"Yeah, but I learned from it. Next time, I am going to get my ring back! So how about yourself? Any past relationship you wish you could erase?"

He stared at me and waited for me to answer.

I finished my glass of sake, stood up and then, I told him my situation.

"It was more than just a relationship, but a marriage. I dated this guy all throughout the time we was looking for the jewel shard. He was my first boyfriend, and I fell for him - hard. We got married after we defeated Naraku and had what I thought was a perfect marriage. Then on day, I caught my husband and some village girl on our futon having sex!"

Sesshoumaru stood there speechless, not knowing how to react.

"Apparently, they have been going together behind my back for years. So needless to say, one month later, we are divorced."

"Well, I guess we both learned something from our situation."

I gave him this blank stare.

"What's that?"

"That we are both no meant to be married!"

As we both stood next to each other snickering over his remark, he looked over at me. He slowly leaned over and kissed me on the lips. His lips felt like silk up against mine. Part of me wanted to stop; but instead, I fell deeper and deeper into his kiss. As our tongues danced in each other's mouths, I felt a familiar feeling that I hadn't felt in almost a year. My body was tingling, and my heart was beating fast. He pulled me closer to him. I felt turned on by this man that I recently met. My hands roamed up and down his back like I was a blind woman. I wanted to reel every inch of his shea butter-scented body. His scent was intoxicating. When I felt him reach up to undo my kimono, I quickly came back to reality and pulled away.

"Its's getting late, and I have some work to still do."

I walked back inside and started to cleanup.

He didn't know what to say to me. He walked back in.

"About the kiss-"

He tried to explain.

I interrupted him. "We both had too much to drink, and you don't have to explain. Why don't we just call it a night?" I started put away the things I used to cook, trying not to make eye contact with him. He stood there for a second before saying goodnight and heading out the door.

It felt too soon to be rushing into anything right after my divorce. My heart still needs time to heal. As I lay in my bed, I toddled and turned thinking about Miroku and Sesshoumaru.

That next morning, I tried to leave my house without bumping into Sesshoumaru, but failed miserably. Walking to the forest, I had seen him coming to me from his morning patrolling.

Walking past him, I said, "I am sorry I rushed you out of my place the way I did. I think you are a really nice guy and all, but I tink it would be best if we just remain friends."

He nodded his head, "Yeah, friends. Sango, I really don't get you at all; and at this point, I am done trying to figure you out. There are good guys out there who are willing to love you the way you want to be loved. You just have to let you baggage go. I did, and you have to learn to do so too."

He went back into the forest-leaving me feeling torn and upset.

A few weeks later during the evening village got caught in a big thunderstorm. Gusts of wind blew ten to fifteen miles per hour, causing trees to fall and fire to flicker. What started out to be just another rainy day, turned into on the worst storms of the summer. Bright lightning struck across the sky as I sat in my living room enjoying the warm of the fire. A few moments later, there I was in the dark listening to the rain pour down on the roof. I tried to make a fire but it was useless.

Walking outside in the storm, I had to find someone with a fire so I could keep warm. The village seems empty as keep walking in the rain. It was getting colder by the minute and I still can't find anyone.

"What are you doing out in this kind of weather? You could get sick."

I turned around to find Sesshoumaru.

"My fire went out and I can't seem to find anyone."

"Come with me to my house. I have some dry clothes you can put on."

Before I could say anything, he had me in his strong arms, running at lighting speed to his house. Sesshoumaru's house was nicest place I have ever seen. Once inside, he took me to a room where he gave me a soft pink kimono and a towel to dry off with. When I was dry and dressed I find him in nice and warm room. I walked over to him after I finished, and debated whether or not to sit next to him or not.

"You can sit next to m, you know? I won't bite."

He moved over on the couch to make more room for me. I smiled and sat down. I wanted to just take him in my arms and kiss him, but I didn't know how to undo what I did. When I looked away, I felt him staring over at me. Loud bolts of lightning struck, causing me to jump in his arms. We gazed into each other's eyes. Lifting my chin closer to his face, he slowly kissed me. I surrendered to his kiss-as if I were under some kind of spell. I suddenly pulled away when images of Miroku raced in my head.

"Please, don't run. I have tried to be patient, I tried being just a friend, and I even tried ignoring you, but nothing has worked, I can't resist you because I want you so bad. I wanted you ever since day one." he admitted.

"I just can't face being hurt again by any man." I cried to him.

"Who said I want to hurt you? I've been hurt, too; but I have moved on and you need to also."

He took me in his arms again, and this time, did not pull away. He was right. Even though I was divorced, I still been holding on to the past.

Sesshoumaru kissed me all over my mouth as his hand slowly undressed me. My body craved for every inch of his body. He placed his mouth on my exposed breasts, and took turns sucking on each of them. His mouth felt so good all over, and I didn't want him to stop. I was intoxicated by his sweet kissed and his gently touch. Talking his shirt off, I took my tongue and slid it from his Adam's apple on down to his button. He pulled me onto him. As I straddled him, he pulled me closer to him and started to massage my breasts. He squeezed both of them together and started to take turns nibbling on each nipple.

I couldn't take it any longer. I had to feel his stiffness inside of me. I undid his pants and pushed them on the floor. As his manhood stood up strong and hard, I placed it up against my intimate spot, and rolled my hops-creating a sensual intense friction. He started to kiss my neck as I tilted my head back from the ecstasy. A loud moan seeped out of my mouth as he slowly placed two fingers inside my moist spot. Bending them in and out a few times, he felt how badly I'd been longing for him. Slowly pulling his fingers out, he placed them in his mouth to taste my sweet nectar.

"If I start now, I will not be able to stop and I will mark you as my mate."

"Ok."

He lifted me onto his manhood. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, our bodies fit perfectly. I grabbed his back to hold onto his shoulder while we gained the perfect rhythm for our lovemaking. My legs were clenched around his waist as his moving became harder and deeper. Sweat started to form on our bodies as the passion built inside of the both of us. I couldn't hold it any longer. I felt my climax coming, and I wanted to gaze in his eyes as I peaked. At that moment he bit me on the neck. I finally felt free from all the hurt and pain. For the first time in a while, I was happy.

Five months has passed, and everything is still going strong between us. I am pregnant with our child and he opened my eyes to new things and taught me how to love again. Miroku and I haven't spoken since the divorce, and I don't care because it was in the past. I was finally happy and worry-free from all the painful memories, and ready to start a life with Sesshoumaru.
