Chapter 26: Arguments

A/n: Obligatory disclaimer that I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters.

Kagome was pissed, she crossed her arms. How dare he think he can make choices like that for me. Sesshomaru was laying on the bed waiting for her. When she didn't make a move her rose and carried her to the bed.

"Put me down, I'm not sleeping with you. You don't get to make those choices for my body. How dare-"

"Silence. I do not wish you to poison your body. I also do not like you taking away the possibility of bearing us pups." Kagome stopped struggling and sighed. She turned over to face him.

"Then you talk to me, you don't make rash choices about my body like that."

"My apologies." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I guess it's alright. No real harm was done. And as long as you promise to warn me so I can be prepared I'll let it go." Sesshomaru nodded. Kagome turned over again so her back was to his chest.

"You're still angry."

"I'll be fine. I just need time." Sesshomaru didn't say anything but wrapped an arm around her. As much as she hated it, she loved him at the same time. It wasn't long before Kagome fell asleep.

Kagome turned over sleepily and cuddled into Sesshomaru. She smiled, warm and content. Wait, he melted my stuff yesterday. Kagome pushed away and got up, stomping out of the room.

How long is this going to last? Sesshomaru though annoyed. He got up and put his armour back on. He saw her big back pack and grabbed it, then followed her out the door.

Kagome was sitting in the kitchen and when he rounded the corner she got up, hugged her mother goodbye and headed for the well without acknowledging him.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Sesshomaru said to Ms. Higurashi.

"You'r every welcome, and Sesshomaru, whatever happened between you two, she'll come around." Sesshomaru nodded his head at her then made his way to the well.

Kagome was already at the bottom of the well waiting. Sesshomaru jumped down and held out his hand. Kagome looked away before holding out her hand just to the side of his. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand. The well glowed and allowed them through.

Damn woman. Sesshomaru pulled his hand away as he felt a burning sensation. Regardless he picked her up and launched them out of the well. He just wanted to get back so he tried his best to ignore her spiritual works while he flew them back.

"Enough." He said landing in front of the castle. "I should not have destroyed your property but this behaviour is equally as childish." Kagome crossed her arms and looked away. Sesshomaru had had enough. With demon speed he dropped her bag in her room then barricaded himself in his study.

Kagome sighed sadly and uncrossed her arms. Sure he destroyed my pills but he was only doing what he thought was best for my body with his limited knowledge. They don't have pills like that here. She pushed the door to her room open. And I feel even worse now. While they were gone he'd had a fairly close copy of her bed created in the center on her room.

She crossed the room and opened their connecting door, she didn't see him. She ventured into the hallway and walked to his study. It won't open. She thought trying to get the door to move.

"Sesshomaru, may I come in?" She asked aloud. She heard some rustling and then the door slid open. Sesshomaru stood staring at her in indifference. "Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted so childishly. I realize now that you were only trying to do what you thought best for me." Nothing.

"Thank you for the bed. I saw it just moments ago. It's very thoughtful of you." Sesshomaru nodded once and returned to his seat. Initially she felt rejected but she realized he left the door open for her. She smiled and closed the door behind her.

Leaving the door open had been a good sign but she needed more reassurance that they were okay. She walked over, got down on her knees and crawled under his arm like she had before. At first he didn't make any indication he knew he was there, but before long he wrapped an arm around her and held her close.

Rin and Shippo were happy to find out Sesshomaru and Kagome had returned. They had announced their return after the kids had breakfast. Once they were done everyone went out to play in the courtyard. They had another 2 days before the others would return to Sesshomaru decided to put off his work and join Kagome, Shippo and Rin.

During lunch it had started to storm so they taught the kids the card games they brought back. It took a while for them to understand the rules but eventually they got it and everyone enjoyed the bad weather.

Kagome had just finished reading a story to Rin and Shippo. He wouldn't show himself but Kagome could sense his presence just outside the door listening. She kissed them both and headed for the door.

By the time she reached the door he was gone. She continued to her room to get dressed for bed. If I had any doubts before I don't now. We got through our first little argument fine and then he was so patient with them learning the game. He's so thoughtful arranging the bed for me.

She heard her door open behind her and turned. Sesshomaru walked over to her. Both just stared at the other for a moment. The pull between them was so strong.
