Kagome might've been out of ear shot, but Kari wasn't. Kari continued to lead Kagome out of the large room and down many halls. "Kari, you're not taking me to my room, are you?" Kagome stated from behind the Guardian's.
"No, I'm taking you to Lord Sesshomaru's room." Kari replied, deciding whether or not she would tell her Lord about Tsume and his interest in Kagome.
Kagome grasped Kari's arm in confusion, stopping the Guardian's and causing her to look back at Kagome. "Why are you taking me there?" Kagome asked.
Kari sighed before answering. "Because that is where Lord Sesshomaru is."
"But it's late. Shouldn't I go to bed?" Kagome questioned, looking suspiciously at the hawk demoness. Kari removed her arm from Kagome's grip then crossed her arms.
"Do you wish to see Lord Sesshomaru or not?" Kari asked, silently praying Kagome wouldn't screw up what she had started with her Lord.
"Lead the way." Kagome stated, Kari's relief was well hidden. Kari quickly led her to her Lord's room. After they were at the door, Kari turned to Kagome.
"This is his room. Just knock." Kari stated, then walked back the way they came and stationed herself down the hall. Looking from Kari to the opposite side of the hall, she saw Reshki sitting a distance down the hall. He caught her gaze and winked, before turning away from her.
Kagome rapped softly on the door, not wanting to wake him incase he had fallen asleep. She was surprised when he opened the door, moving out of the way so she could enter. Kagome walked in his scarcely lit room, his furnished much like her own. She did notice his bed was slightly bigger then hers, but that was expected. Sesshomaru shut the door then turned to her.
"How was your evening?" Sesshomaru asked, approaching her.
"Mine went pretty well. Lady Ventai introduced me to her son and daughter." Kagome replied, turning to face him. "And yours?"
"Lord Derenti and I had some matters to discuss. You had no trouble with anyone I pray." Sesshomaru answered softly.
"Well...no, not really." Kagome answered. She thought about telling him the looks she received from most of the females but decided against it.
"Are you sure?" Sesshomaru asked, indicating she could sit down if she wished. Kagome gladly took a seat on the edge of his bed.
"Not too many females were being friendly." Kagome shrugged as if it was nothing. Sesshomaru chuckled, understanding what she was talking about.

"I am sorry about that." Sesshomaru stated, then a light knock brought him to the door. A servant entered with a night gown for Kagome. The servant quickly laid it on the bed, before disappearing.
"You do not have to sleep in here if you do not wish." Sesshomaru stated, closing the door behind the servant.
Kagome smiled, reaching for the night gown. "If you don't mind, I would like to." Sesshomaru smiled slightly, seeing her stare at him while holding the night gown."Could you..um...turn around while I change?" Kagome blushed but held his gaze. Sesshomaru couldn't help the amused smile that graced his lips before he turned his back to her. Kagome quickly pulled off her kimono and pulled on the night gown as fast she could.
"I'm done." Kagome stated, taking a seat once more on the edge of his bed. Sesshomaru turned back to her, the smile still in place. She grew nervous under Sesshomaru's gaze.
Sesshomaru forced his gaze away from her and walked over to his closet. Unlike Kagome, he began to peel his clothes right there. Kagome gasped, then turned away, blushing furiously. 'I can't believe him!' she thought, embarrassed. Half of her wanted to look. 'He could've warned me!' Kagome studied the wall across from her, trying not to picture Sesshomaru without his clothes.
Sesshomaru changed clothes, holding back a chuckled at her embarrassment. 'Humans and their modesty.' Sesshomaru thought, highly amused. Turning around, he found her staring intently at the opposite wall. Sesshomaru quietly crawled across the bed, coming behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. He felt her tense at first, then relax.
He chuckled, bringing his lips to rest against her neck. "A little modest, are we?" Sesshomaru commented, looking to see she had turned an attractive shade of red.
"I can't believe you." was her answer.
"Mmm." Sesshomaru mumbled against her skin. He closed his eyes, content on just being close to her.
"Sessho...perhaps we should lay down..."Kagome whispered, using the nick name she only used when it was just the two of them.
Sesshomaru smiled evilly, pulling her with him. Kagome let a slight 'eep' escape her as she was pulled with Sesshomaru back onto the bed. Sesshomaru laid on his back, allowing Kagome to turn on top of his chest so she was straddling his hips. Kagome held herself up with her hands on his chest, looking down at him in surprise. Sesshomaru cocked an eye brow, looking up at her.
He rested his hands on her hips, smiling at her blush. "You should smile more often." Kagome stated, bringing one hand to touch his lips lightly. Sesshomaru rose the upper half of his body so Kagome was sitting on his lap, her legs to either side of him.
"Really?" he replied absently, enjoying the fact that she had got redder then he thought possible.
"What happened to laying down?" Kagome asked sarcastically. Sesshomaru barely shrugged before claiming her lips with his. Sesshomaru ran a hand over her exposed thigh. In the position she was in, her night gown was pushed up around her hips, exposing her shapely legs to his hands.
Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling his hand caressing her thigh, the other tracing little circles on her back, working his way lower and lower. Kagome gasped against his lips when he ran his fingers lightly over her outer thigh to her inner thigh.
When she gasped, Sesshomaru easily slid his tongue into her mouth, marveling at the taste and feel of it. Kagome cautiously slid her tongue against his, causing him to purr. Kagome ran her fingers though his silky hair, the other running from his shoulder to rest on his chest, feeling his chest vibrate from his purring.
Sesshomaru sucked in, causing her tongue to be pulled into his mouth. Kagome pressed into him when he did that, moaning against his mouth.'Kami's, he tastes good.' Kagome thought, running the tip of her tongue lightly across one of this fangs. Sesshomaru pushed her night gown farther up, allowing him to slip his hands in the front of it. His fingers tentatively ran over her stomach, resting close to the underside of her breast.
Kagome gasped, feeling his hand travel up her night gown. He didn't move any farther close to her chest. His hand traveled over her side to her back, running his claws lightly down her back, causing her to shiver. Kagome wiggled slightly in his lap, causing Sesshomaru to growl in pleasure. 'She has no idea what she's doing to me.' Sesshomaru thought, feeling her legs tighten around him, bringing herself close to him.
Kagome felt him pull away from her, kissing her jaw line, then nibbling on her ear. He ran his tongue along the edge, Kagome sitting up straighter at the feeling coursing through her. Sesshomaru planted a light kiss on her neck before pulling back to look at her. He knew they would have to stop now. He wasn't sure if he would be able to pull back if he didn't do it now.
"This is enough for tonight." Sesshomaru stated, remembering his promise to take it slow. Kagome was panting slightly, feeling him pull his hand from under her night gown. Kagome was glad he had stopped it because she wasn't sure she would've been able to do so. Before he pulled completely away, Kagome placed a quick kiss on his lips, mumbling thanks.
Sesshomaru laid down, allowing Kagome to roll off of him and snuggle into his side. Within a matter of moments she was asleep. Sesshomaru laid still, allowing his body to cool off. It had taken all his will power to pull away from her when she obviously didn't mind going farther. But he would not do that to her when he had promised to go slow. Sesshomaru always kept his word.
He took another deep breath, calming his heated and aroused body. 'I won't be able to do this too many more times.' Sesshomaru thought, opening his eyes to look at the ceiling.

Kagome yawned and stretched, feeling a warm body pressed against hers. She couldn't help but smile at the thought of waking up with Sesshomaru, again. Kagome's eyes opened to see she had awoken at dawn once more. Sesshomaru was still asleep, his arm laying lazily across her side.
Kagome looked down at his hand, seeing the purple mark running across his wrist. She placed her hand on top of his, running her thumb across his hand. Kagome thought of last night. 'We came so close to...' she shook her head. The last time she had actually thought about it, she had begun to like Sesshomaru. Now, she was pretty sure her feelings for him had deepen. He was completely different when it was just him and her. He was tender and shown more emotion then she believed he possessed.
Kagome tilted her head to look up at the sleeping inu Youkai beside her. And he was worried about her safety, that was why he had told to stay close, and Kagome was pretty sure Kari had been watching her during the whole time she had been talking to Ventai. Kagome entwined her fingers with his, sighing slightly. 'But how long will this last? Kagome would live no where near the length Sesshomaru would. She could have a few good years with him, but not any length compared to his life span. 'And I'd have to let go of him. So either way I get hurt.' Kagome couldn't help the lone tear that escaped.
That was the one thing she had been trying to prevent. 'I should have never kissed him back. I should've pushed him away.' Kagome thought sadly, bringing a hand to wipe away the tear that escaped. 'Falling for a demon was not a good idea.' Kagome scolded herself and turned her head away from him. But it was too late, she already care for him more then she should've.
Kagome was brought out of her thoughts when someone pounded on the door. Sesshomaru was awake in an instant and knew something was wrong. He thought he smelt the faint smell of tears, but tossed that out when another resounding pound returned. Sesshomaru quickly got out of bed and walked over to his locked door, pulling it open. Kari stood with Reshki, both had relief wash over their face at the sight of their Lord.
"What is going on?" Sesshomaru ordered, glancing back to see Kagome sitting on the edge of the bed, looking in his direction."Another attack. We came over here as soon as we heard. We had to make sure you were not targeted as well." Reshki replied quickly, moving out of the way.
"Kari, stay with Kagome. Reshki, take me where the attack occurred." Sesshomaru quickly ordered. Kari looked about to argue with him. "Kari, do not question my orders." Reshki shrugged, then took off down the hall with Sesshomaru in tow.
"Who was attacked?" Sesshomaru asked, his anger slowly rising. One of his guests had been attacked while under his roof. That had meant that the intruder had been able to get into his home.
"Lady Ventai." Reshki stated. Sesshomaru rushed past the panther, able to move faster then Reshki. 'Shit.' Sesshomaru thought, making it to Ventai's room quickly. When he approached the room, one of Derenti's Guardians stood in his way.
"Move." Sesshomaru growled. The Guardian's took one look at Sesshomaru, before moving. The Guardian's, however, wouldn't allow Reshki to follow.
Sesshomaru walked in the room to see Derenti in a rage, yelling in draconic at one of his Guardians. The Guardian's would be lucky to survive the dragons wrath. Sesshomaru looked to the bed, eyes widening in rage. Ventai had been attacked in her bed, obviously while she was still sleeping. Her daughter kneeled at her bedside, trying to get a response from her mother. Sesshomaru approached her.
He took in Ventai's wounds. A stab wound to the chest, multiple cuts and it looked like they had attempted to cut off her arm. The wounds were bad and he wasn't sure Ventai's demon blood could heal those wounds. Tsume stood beside his sister, trying to comfort her while trying not to look at his wounded mother.
There was a loud 'thump' in the halls, and Sesshomaru turned to see Kagome dressed and breathing heavily. "What..." the words were barely formed before Kagome ran past him, kneeling beside Suki.
"Suki, listen to me. I can save her, but I need you to move so I can get to her wounds." Kagome stated, trying to gently move the crying Youkai. Suki wouldn't budge. Sesshomaru shared a glance with Tsume, before both of them grasped Suki and pulled her away.
She struggled against both of them, but they were too strong. "Mother, please don't die!"Suki cried, collapsing to the floor. Her brother knelt down, holding her.
Kagome took a shaky breath, then placed her hands on the two worse wounds, the almost unattached arm and the stab wound to her chest. Kagome reached deep within herself, seeking out her Miko powers and calling them forth. Derenti's roars quieted when he looked over to see the human kneeling over his mate, glowing faintly with a bluish hue.
Kagome winced, feeling the pain as she took some of it into her. She continued to absorb the pain, using her Miko abilities to help the demon blood heal. Kagome could barely breath with the amount of pain she was taking in, resolved to save this Youkai who had been so nice to her.
Kagome felt unconsciousness threaten to claim her, but she fought it, looking down to see Ventai's shoulder slowly mend, the stab wound slowly closing. ' A little longer.' Kagome thought, shutting her eyes against the pain, feeling tears slip down her cheeks.
After a moment of agony, Kagome opened her eyes to see Ventai crack her eyes open, her wounds almost completely healed. Kagome let go of the breath she had been holding, relieved she had been able to heal the demoness. That was the last thought Kagome had before slipping into the darkness that she had fought before now, too weak to fight it any more.

Sesshomaru jumped forward, preventing Kagome from falling on a now conscious Ventai. Everyone in the room was silent as Sesshomaru took Kagome into his arms. Derenti walked over to Sesshomaru, amazement and relief in his eyes. "Let me know when she wakes." was all Derenti said before going to his mates side.
Suki jumped to her feet, running to her father and clasping him in joy. Sesshomaru realized they would be fine now and walked out of the room. He had been wondering how Kagome had made it past the Guardian's. Seeing Reshki and Kari there, standing over a slumped Wolf Youkai told him all he needed to know.
They both fell in behind him as he walked to his room. They stood outside his door when he went in, laying Kagome on his bed. He looked at her, amazed she had actually healed Ventai. Sesshomaru resolved not to leave her side until she was awake.
