Chapter 16 - Surprises

Two entire months had passed, and Kouga still hadn't been found. The anticipation was killing me. Was he coming for me? Had he disappeared? Everything was going so well, I didn't want him ruin everything... I was finally happy. I wasn't going to let anyone take that from me.. I deserved this. He hugged me from behind, kissing my neck.

"You're worrying."

"No, no... I'm just.."

"Worrying." He said.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it, it's been to long. It's like he planning something."

He started massaging my shoulders. "You should stop worrying. You'll get wrinkles."

I laughed. "I guess I'd better stop then."

He nibbled my earlobe. "You should get some rest, you've been up all day."

I pouted. "I don't wanna."

He chuckled. "It isn't up for discussion."

"Oh? And if I refuse?"

"Then I shall have to put you to bed."

He scooped me up in his arms, carrying me over. Dropping me on the mattress. He slid into bed with me, he towered over me on all fours.

His eyes became glossy. "Kagome I am going to do something, that you must never speak of to anyone."

I cupped his face in my small hands. "I promise. I won't tell a soul."

He shoved his face into the crook of my neck and cried. I just held him. I listened to him sob quietly.. I held him tighter.

He sniffled. "I don't want to lose you."

My heart ached seeing him like this. "I promise you, I'll always be with you."

He laid his head on my chest. We talked all night. About everything. What the wedding would be like, children, grand children. The schools we would send them to. Their first dates, first heart breaks.. growing old together. All of it, it was amazing. I never thought I could be this happy. I had almost forgotten everything going on around us. This moment.. right now made up for it. I drifted off into a deep sleep, as happy as I could be.

I felt someone shaking me. "Kagome. Wake up."

"No, 5 more minutes."

"You've brought this on yourself."

He slipped off my night gown. Unclasping my bra, and slipping off my panties.

"Sesshomaru I don't think your mother would approve."

"Hush." He threw me over his shoulder, smacking my ass.

He carried me into the bathroom, Dropping me in the oversized tub.

I came up for air, moving my hair out of my face. "That was uncalled for."

He smirked at me. "At least now you're awake. Now bathe, or do you want me to bathe you myself.

I sunk deeper into the water. "N-no, I'm fine."

He stripped, getting into the shower. The shower glass was clear, I watched his perfectly sculpted body, while I bathed myself. He was like a living piece of art. He turned off the shower, stepping out. The water rolled off his body in waves. I felt a tingling sensation between my legs. He stared into my eyes, I ached for his touch.

"Come to me."

I stepped out of the tub, the water dripping from my nipples. I wanted him to touch me.. in ways I'd never been touched. I closed my eyes pursing my lips. I felt something soft hit my face, I pulled it off... it was a towel.

"What is this for."

"To dry yourself off, what else could it be for."

He wrapped a towel around his waist. "But.."

He smirked at me. "We're you expecting something else?"

I sighed wrapping the towel around myself. "No."

He chuckled. "Come, we must get dressed."

I wasn't in the best of moods. Not after that stunt Sesshomaru pulled in the bathroom earlier. He told me to get dressed. That he was taking me to a Surprise. He stopped at a park about three blocks away.

"What are we doing here?"

"I figured you could use some cheering up. Follow me."

I followed him out of the car and up the park steps. We stopped.

"Look."

"Look at what exactly?"

"Just look."

In the distance I saw two figures walking towards us. No way... it was Shippo and Souta. I kicked off my flats, running to them as fast as I could. I jumped on them tackling them to the floor.

"Oh my god, what are you guys doing here?"

"We had a day off, So Sesshomaru brought us over. He thought you could use some cheering up. I don't know for what, but we missed you so we came anyways. "Souta explained

Shippo laughed. "So come on sis, let us take you out on the town."

We spent the entire day together, Sesshomaru tailed us letting us have family time. We went to the arcade. Watched movies and ate dinner. I even got to give them a tour of the mansion. I left out the part about what happened Kouga.

"Aren't you forgetting something Kagome?"

I glared at him. "No, no I am not."

"You're leaving out the part about how Kouga is an abusive serial killer."

"A what?" The asked simultaneously.

I explained everything to them.. from start to finish.

Shippo grabbed my hand. "Kagome.. why didn't you tell us?"

"You two are just kids.. I didn't want to ruin you with this."

"There must have been something we could've done!" I could tell Souta was trying his best not to cry.

"Trust me. There's nothing you could've done."

"But! -"

I cut Shippo off. "It's time you two get back to school."

They hung there heads, Shippo hiding his anger and Souta hiding his tears.

I waved them off as they got into the cab.

"Don't you think you were to harsh on them?"

"Mind your business. You shouldn't have said anything to them. I didn't want to know about this!"

"You think you could have kept this from the forever?"

"No.. but I could have stalled. I would have waited till they were ready."

"You mean till you were ready."

I glared at him. "Stay out of my families business."

"Kagome you're acting like an-"

"Like an what!? A bitch?!"

He sighed. "I was going to say an ass you should calm down."

I could feel the veins popping out of my forehead and my neck. "NO! From now on stay out of my business."

I stood there throwing this big fit. Acting like some overgrown child. But he still kept his cool. He didn't yell... he just let me get all of my frustration out. Frustration he didn't deserve.

I turned my back to him. Trying my best not to cry. "Is it all out now?"

I sniffled. Turning around running into his arms. "I'm sorry. You've done nothing but help me and here I am yelling at you. I just wasn't ready to let them know... I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. I understand, and I shouldn't have interfered. It wasn't my call."

I looked up, staring into his eyes. "I don't deserve you."

"On the contrary, it is I who doesn't deserve you. You deserve happiness and then some."

We locked our lips in a passionate kiss.

Normal p.o.v

He watched them as the embraced each other, while he hid in the bushes.. plotting his next move.

He laughed. " Your happiness is only temporary Kagome."
