A/N: Sorry about the long delay, I wanted to avoid filler chapters and stuff while I wait for more ideas on how to ... describe stuffs and whatever. But just for the sake of an update, here you all go.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or related characters.

The story line is mine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She opened her eyes and looked at Sesshoumaru, he was leaning back in the chair, his feet propped up on her nightstand, with the most peaceful look on his face.

'I've never seen him asleep before...' She thought to herself, sitting up looking at Sesshoumaru, she smiled, he was truly a gorgeous man. She stretched and yawned quietly, closing her eyes, hearing her bones crack slightly.

"Good morning, my love." Sesshoumaru's husky deep voice reached her ears. She never heard his voice so rough before, she blushed and smiled at him.

"Good morning!" she chirped leaping from her bed smelling the scent of breakfast reach her nostrils. She smiled big and looked at Sesshoumaru who kept his typical emotionless face. She giggled, "Would you like a bath before mama serves breakfast?"

He looked at her, he remember her explaining the concept of a shower, and the bathtub earlier, he figured he wouldn't use them, he was clean enough. He shook his head.

Kagome shrugged, walking out of her room then back in with two big fluffy pink towels, he quirked a brow.

"Suit yourself, but I need a hot soak and a relaxing shower!" she exclaimed, he looked indifferent which told her that her explaining her actions was unimportant. She shuffled her way into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha huffed, sitting on a higher branch of the God Tree, he knew no one would bother him there. He slipped back into his thoughts, he'd give up anything just to have her his, but his bastard brother got that chance.

He looked down from his droopy position at Miroku who was looking around, Inuyasha snorted and watched the monk sit beneath the tree.

"So...Inuyasha..." Miroku said cooly, causing his ears to twitch.

"What do you want, monk?" Inuyasha snapped bitterly at Miroku, who wasn't at fault for his bad mood, but he felt no need to be nice to humanity.
"You to stop being to bitter now, mistakes happen and you should've learned all those other times you came close to loosing her, that's all." he said, rising to his feet, "If you want to join us, Sango and Kaede prepared a bunch of food."

Inuyasha huffed and free fell from the tree Miroku stepped to the side and Inuyasha landed on his feet beside him. He decided he can put his pain behind him for tonight, for the rest of them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steam filled the entire bathroom, Kagome sighed dreamily settling into the tub, bubbles floated around her, she decided it's been ages since she had a bubble bath. The scent of roses and jasmine reached her senses as she breathed in deeply.

She began massaging her arms and thighs, and even her calves, when she felt her legs, she wrinkled her nose, at the little prickles of hair that had grown out since she's been gone. She grunted and grabbed her razor.

He laid in her bed, breathing in her scent, with his eyes closed, he had no idea where that voice from earlier came from, but he saw her reactions, and knew it wasn't bad. He felt drowsy, and slightly damaged, all the new scents must be affecting his mind.

He breathed in deeply through his nose, that's when he smelled it, her blood.

"Ouch!" Kagome shrieked, rubbing her knee, she mentally cussed herself out for not using shaving cream, blood lightly trickled down her leg into the water, she sighed, so much for perfectly flawless legs.

She didn't even notice Sesshoumaru standing above her, he cleared his throat lightly, and she jumped, banging her head against the tub wall. She let out a small cry and held the back of her head, he instantly regretted making himself known.

"Sesshoumaru! Ow..." she growled and rubbed her head, and blinking back tears from the stinging in her leg and the new pain in her head.

"Hn..." he bent down beside her looking at her closely, his breathing was becoming stressed, stupid human girl, he thought, my stupid human girl, he corrected himself.

"Are you okay?" she touched his forehead, his skin was hot, she swallowed hard as his silky fingers traced up her arm to her shoulder, before his hand caressed her neck, rubbing the knot in it softly, she melted into him.

He nodded and kissed the top of her head he stood up and cleared his throat. "I was just checking on her, I smelled her blood." Kagome blinked and looked past Sesshoumaru to see Souta standing at the entrance to the bathroom, her eye twitch almost in sync with Souta's.

"Uh...huh." Souta scrambled out of her room hoping to have to never see something like that again. Sesshoumaru rested himself in the chair once more.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mama, this is a little much..." Kagome said awkwardly at the small pink and blue package sitting inside her backpack.

"Oh Kagome, I'm just giving you options in case the need arise." she pulled Kagome into a hug and then she smiled and bowed to Sesshoumaru.

"Thank you, Mrs. Higurashi..." Sesshoumaru bowed and then stepped out of the house to leave Kagome and her mother standing there.

"Be happy, regardless of what anyone else thinks, or says. You come first in your life Kagome." she hugged her daughter once more, and knew that smile meant that she had lifted all the worry off of her eldest child's shoulder.

"Thanks mama..." Kagome hurried out the door following Sesshoumaru.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Five-hundred twenty-one thousand, six-hundred minutes, how do you measure, measure a year?" Kagome sang softly to herself, failing to notice the spastic eye twitch coming from Sesshoumaru.

"Seasons of looooooooove!" Kagome seemed really caught up in the moment as she absentmindedly sung the chorus louder. Sesshoumaru bit back his growl and attempted to tune it out. He must love her in order to take this kind of abuse.

"Kagome!" another annoyance raped his eardrums. Shippou leaped into Kagome's arms, she spun around clinging the cub to her chest. He rolled his eyes and averted his attention to the over sized feline approaching them.

"Kirara was my dueling partner! Inuyasha is being a meanie!" Shippou huffed and settled into Kagome's arms as she cradled him.

"Speaking of..." Sesshoumaru spoke silently to himself as he noticed his younger half sibling watching them with great interest from a tree near the hut. He smirked to himself over the tiny personal victory, much more of a lesson rather than a victory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha watched sadly as Kagome and Sesshoumaru took off once more, this time taking the rug rat with them. He sighed to himself as Kagome turned to wave, brighter than ever. The sun lit the sky up pink and it made her glow like an angel, she was supposed to be his angel, not Sesshoumaru's.

"Ah, although I have seen mistresses of the finest pedigree, I will never fail to admire the innocent beauty that Kagome has to offer." Miroku interrupted his thoughts, looking at Inuyasha in an almost knowing stare.

"Feh, ugly human." Inuyasha bitterly spat out before walking towards the hut. Miroku watched the sunset and smiled to himself. He mourned for his fellow companion but rejoiced for the other.
