'Life mate' she thought blushing.

Now she knew just how serious Sesshomaru was about being with her.

In the demon culture, taking a "Life Mate" was nothing to joke about. The bond between the two mates are so strong that if one mate feels pain or any emotion, the other mate no matter how far will feel the same. It is so strong to the point that should one die the other follows close behind.

She knows Sesshomaru well enough to know this is a subject he will never toy with for he will never bound himself to anyone that was less than perfect in his eyes.

She was brought back to reality hearing him speak.

"I-I'm sorry" she stuttered "but what was that"

That's another reason he cares for her the way he does.

Trusts.

She has so much trust in him that she she is comfortable spacing out and completely letting down her guard around him.

And she keeps things interesting.

"I said that I do not expect an answer right away" he repeated "I will give you time and space to t-"

He was silenced when her lips found his in hard yet passionate kiss.

He closed his eyes and embraced her close.

No matter how many time it will happens, he will never get tired of the feelings she evokes in him.

He soon took control of the kiss as he coaxed her to open her mouth for him. Their tongues battling for dominance as they roamed each others mouths.

She gave out a low sexy moan that made him shiver in bliss when he grabbed her ass with both hands and forced her into him feeling all that she does to him.

"Oh God" she moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he began attacking hers.

"Sesshomaru" she moaned "you have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that" she confessed "I have had the biggest crush on you since forever but settled for being just friends" now she was playing with the pointed tips of his ear.

Sesshomaru was very pleased to hear that but knew they had to stop. The fact that their arousal level was so high did not make things easier.

"We have to stop koi" he whispered pulling back.

He chuckled at the look of disappointment upon her face.

"I will court you properly Kagome" he spoke softly with both hands gently hold her face making sure she looks at him "meaning I will not take you until after the courtship and when YOU are ready for that step"

He knew she was a virgin and he loved it. Knowing that he will be her 1st, last, and only.

"Ok" she sighed knowing he was right. She was not ready for that step.

"WHAT" Inuyasha growled

"Inuyasha" Kikyo warned "you will NOT get in the middle of this for I will not let you"

It was Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango, Miroku, Ayame, and Kouga all gathered in Sangos backyard.

They were all hanging out when Kagome told them the big news.

"Hey" he defended "I'm not against it, just surprised is all" he said turning to the new couple "I mean who would have thought that these two would get together, I mean you guys are like polar opposites"

"Well" Kagome smiled as she sat comfortably in Sesshomaru's lap "They say opposites attract"

"What are you too fools doing" Sesshomaru said looking towards Kouga and Miroku.

"Oh nothing" Kouga jumped but by the looks on Sesshomarus face he was not falling for it.

"We had a bet" Miroku smirked holding $200 in his hands.

"A bet" Kagome questioned

"Yeah, a while back Kouga and I had a bet on whether or not you two would get together and it's safe to say that once again the Love Guru comes out successful"

Sesshomaru just growled while Kagome rolled her eyes "You two are so childish"

While all eyes were focusing on Miroku and Kouga, no one noticed Sango and Ayame sliding Kikyo $300 each.

It's been about a month since Sesshomaru and Kagome became official.

To say people were surprised was under statement. Who would have thought one of the most feared demons would fall for one of the sweetest girls none to man.

Not many were to please of this discovery as the couple walked the halls so freely.

Some said that the demon tainted the sweet angel while others claim the miko hypnotized the beautiful demon heir.

Sesshomaru was not ignorant to the glares and whispers but he knew no one will stand against them. He alone can kill all that oppose him without breaking a sweat. Just imagine the kind of damage that would be done when Kagome joins the mix

Though Demon/Human relationships are legal, there are those that still believe the two should never be mixed.

He looked down at the little onna in his arms and gave a small smile.

'I will always protect you'

It was soon nearing graduation and to say that our friends were excited was an understatement.

"2 more weeks" Sango whispered.

Everyone was gathered in Kagome and Kikyo's condo.

"Yeah" Inuyasha sighed.

They were looking forward to graduation but what came next was not to appealing to them.
