Sesshomaru's POV
We left before the sun had even begun to set.
"Sesshomaru?"
I tensed. "Y-yes?"
"Where exactly are we going? How long will we be gone?"
I sighed we had barely even left and she's already wondering when she'll be free of me. "We're going to my homelands where no one could get hurt from your training. As for how long we'll be gone, that depends on you."
She nodded. "How long will it take us to get there?"
"A few days."
She straightened her back and picked up the pace. "Then let's get going!"
It took us 4 days to arrive. Most of the time we traveled in silence the bond between us humming with discomfort. She needs to be told, the whole trip she probably spend wondering what it was. Possibly even panicking about it.
I stopped at a large cave opening. "We'll rest here for the night. We should arrive by tomorrow morning."
She nodded and walked further into the cave. "This place is huge!"
I chuckled. "I used to stay here when I went on hunting trips."
She looked at me in surprise. "Really?" She walked over to me. "Sesshomaru? Can I ask you something?"
I froze. "Of course."
"Well, this is going to sound weird but... when I first woke up I felt a...I don't know how to explain this. I felt a sort of pull in my chest and it always seems to pull me towards you." She paused and took a deep breath. "I know it's come up before but I never got an answer for it, please tell me."
I sighed my mind racing to find a suitable answer. "Well, Kagome I've been...I. " I sighed again. "That is one of the reasons I brought you out here."
She moved closer and looked up at me. "I'm listening."
I looked around us at the hard ground then removed my fur and latex it down. "You might want to sit."
She blinked. "Sesshomaru, you're scaring me."
I shook my head and grasped her hands pulling her closer to me. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to frighten you, this is just...difficult to explain."
She pulled on of her hands free and placed it on the side of my face. "You don't have to explain it right now if it's to hard. I can wait."
I felt myself relax and smiled at her placing a hand over hers loving the way her skin felt against mine. "I need to tell you." I gently pulled her hand from my face and pulled her down onto the fur.
She leaned against my shoulder. "Ready when you are."
I nodded and kept my gaze straight ahead. "Kagome do you remember feeling that pull you were talking about when you were human?"
She was quite for a moment. "I don't know, maybe. If I did it wasn't as strong."
I nodded. "We call that pull a bond." I took a deep breath. "I feel it as well. A bond like this only happens with a demon and their soulmate, but it's so rare that most only think it's a legend. It connect two demons together, it's stronger then any other power. Some say that anyone who has found their soulmate can never be put under a love spell." I shook my head and sighed. "What I'm trying to say Kagome is that...you're my soulmate." I froze expecting her to yell or get up and leave. "Kagome?" I looked down at her and saw that her eyes were closed. She had fallen asleep. I chuckled and gently laid her down on my fur careful not to wake her. "Next time you ask a question make sure you stay awake for the answer." I stroked her hair and smiled at her. I'll tell her tomorrow. I went to move away but her hand reached out and grasped mine gently pulling me closer. I moved closer to her and lay on my back. She laid her head on my chest and sighed softly. I wrapped my arm around her pulling her closer to me. I turned my head and gently pressed my lips to her forehead and closed my eyes. I'll tell her everything when she wakes up.
