Kikyou… Kagome walked into the forest and saw her standing next to a tree. She looked at a flower, then looked at Kagome.

What is it that you want? She stated coldly. Kagome could feel Kikyou's hatred towards her, but it wasn't going to stop her.

Why did you take it away? Kikyou looked at the flower again, then at her. She took a step away from the tree, crushing the flower under her foot.

That's how life is. Kagome took out her bow and arrow, and aimed her weapon towards her. Now you want to kill me? For what? Revenge? You already have someone that cares for you, and I the same. Grow up. Kikyou left her standing there with her weapon.

She's right. Kagome threw down her bow and arrow and looked at the tree. If I take revenge, I am no better. She would win, and I would lose… She walked towards the tree, and put her hand on it. Someone would be sad that I was gone, or she was gone. She bent down and picked up the flower. Like right now, I am sad. She placed the flower at the bottom of the tree and smiled.

As am I. She heard a voice in the trees, and turned around. She heard it being cold. She didn't want to know who it was, and didn't want to know what they wanted with her.

For what? She asked. She wanted to know the response of the person. She didn't hear one after 5 minutes, so she sighed. She felt something brush up against her, and turned around. She noticed a body right there and she stiffened.

For you. He embraced her. She was still afraid of him, and didn't know if she should do the same to him. She nuzzled her head into his chest, and hugged him back. She looked up at his face and gasped.

"It's you…" She whispered. Sesshoumaru looked down and looked back up. She twitched her hand, but calmed down and went back into her dreams.

Sesshoumaru. She stared at him, and looked into his eyes. She didn't know what to think of his actions, and didn't know what he was going to do next. He hugged her again.

I…do love someone. That person… is you, Kagome. He pulled away from her and kissed her. She gasped in her throat and widened her eyes. Right in front of her, the lord was kissing her. She was in heaven.

"Sesshoumaru…" She whispered again. He looked down, seeing she was still asleep. This time, she didn't stop talking. "Thank you. I know… I do too…" She blinked her eyes opened, with her vision very blurry. She still thought she was in her dream. "I love you too." He widened his eyes. He was shocked to hear those words coming out of her mouth, and she didn't even know his feelings for her.

Her vision became clear and she gasped. She jumped from his arms, and turned her back to him. She didn't stop blushing, and didn't turn around to look at him. She began walking towards a tree and sat down facing it. She buried her head in embarrassment, and he stood there.

He wanted to believe that it wasn't true. He didn't want to think that he fell in love with a human, let alone a priestess, but he did. He took a step towards her, and she inched towards the tree more. He sighed, and jumped into the trees.

"Miko." She looked up, still blushing from her comment.

"Yes?" She became very nervous as to what was coming next out of his mouth. I am doomed!

"Go to the springs." He pointed behind him, and she nodded. She went behind a tree and undressed herself. She jumped into the water quick, and began to cleanse herself. Sesshoumaru would check back every now and then. Night is about to fall over these lands. He looked at the sun setting in the west, and looked back at her. She is still beautiful as ever. You are so lucky to have her as a mate now! Hmph…

He looked behind him and saw her with her back to him. She didn't turn around the whole time she was in there, and didn't plan on it. Maybe he didn't hear me. Maybe he won't bring it up! She smiled, walked out of the springs and went behind the tree. Maybe my life can go back to normal! She dressed herself and walked from behind the tree.

"Okay! All done!" She said. She looked around in the trees and saw no one there. Did he leave? "Sesshoumaru?" She looked around the whole area, but saw no one there. Oh great… He ditched me. She sighed and walked back to the resting area.

She lied on her back and looked at the stars. Maybe Inuyasha is one of those stars right now. She closed her eyes, and imagined him next to her. I can feel you, but you aren't 'here'. She opened her eyes, and saw a shooting star. I wish… She closed her eyes and began making her wish. What did you wish for? If I tell, it won't come true!

She opened her eyes and saw cherry blossoms blowing with the wind while the stars lit up the lands. Oh! So pretty! She sat up, then stood up and looked around. It's just so amazing to see. She smiled, and closed her eyes, taking in the scents. She opened her eyes to see a figure out of the corner of her eyes, a foot away from her.

"Hmm?" She looked to her left and saw him. "Sesshoumaru…" She began to blush again, and saw the cherry blossoms blow between them. He stepped towards her and she kept her ground. Okay Kagome… keep your cool. He stopped inches away from her, and looked up into the night sky.

"Miko." She looked at him, seeing the glimmer shine in his eyes. "Answer this question: Have you ever felt like you want to say something, but cannot find the words to express it?" She nodded.

"Of course. Everyone experiences that once in their life time." He looked back at her and took a step towards her. She looked at the ground, then at him. He shined with the moon in the background, and illuminated with the sky itself.

"Then why does this Sesshoumaru experience it?" She shrugged, not knowing the answer. He stepped closer to her, barely an inch away from her face. This is so… He sensed coming from the east, and he looked towards it. It's him. She saw the whirlwind coming towards them, and couldn't believe it. "Koga."

He stopped in front of Kagome and Sesshoumaru and looked at Kagome sternly. "I finally found you! I heard mutt-face was killed by that dead wench, Kikyou." Kagome nodded. "That means you're mine." He grabbed her hand and pulled her into him. Sesshoumaru couldn't stand someone he loved be hugged by a mangy wolf.

"Let her go." Koga looked up and let go of Kagome. Kagome backed away from Koga, and looked behind to Sesshoumaru.

"Stay out of this, Sesshoumaru." Koga took a step towards Sesshoumaru, but Kagome blocked him from getting to Sesshoumaru.

"Koga, please, don't fight." Koga looked down onto Kagome's face and smirked.

"Well he should stay out of this, mate." Kagome was taken back. Did… he just say… mate? Sure did. What a jerk! Yeah… She looked back to Sesshoumaru, and didn't see him there. Where did he… She felt a blast of wind rush past her, and Sesshoumaru holding Koga by the throat.

"Don't call her your mate, wolf." He tightened his grip, and Koga trying to release his claws from him.

"Well she isn't yours! So that makes her mine!" Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed red, but went back to normal. Kagome flinched at Sesshoumaru's anger towards Koga.

"Sesshoumaru." He looked back and saw her walking up towards him. "You can let him go." He reluctantly let him go. Koga placed his hands up towards his throat, noticing it was bleeding.

"You will not die today." Sesshoumaru looked down at him. Koga looked up and saw Kagome walking towards Sesshoumaru. "But if you try to touch her one more time, you're life will not be spared." Sesshoumaru turned around and saw Kagome right next to him.

She looked at Koga, and saw his throat injured. "Koga." He looked at her. "Please leave. I don't want you to be hurt." Koga was taken back by her words. He wanted to believe he wasn't going to die, but was it true? He shook off the thoughts, and ran off into the forest.

She turned around and walked away from Sesshoumaru. She stopped halfway to the camp and whispered, "Thank you." She walked to the camp and sat down. Sesshoumaru looked up into the sky and looked to the moon. Maybe another night is right for her. He looked back at her, and jumped up into the trees, watching over her. Maybe another night…
