Disclaimer: If I owned InuYasha then I wouldn't be writing about him … as most of you who read my fanfics know

Yuri was helping her Lady Kagome into a kimono she had picked out this morning after her bath and was getting more and more concerned for the new comer by each passing minute. Even in the short time she had spent with the woman, she knew that unless something was troubling her, she wouldn't be so quiet.
"Kagome?" Yuri called, pulling the miko out of her thoughts.
"Yes?"
"What's wrong?" Kagome looked to the girl that she had become friends with in such a short time and sighed.
"Yuri, I think that I upset Sesshomaru yesterday." The purple haired girl smiled warmly.
"I'm sure it's nothing to get so upset about." Kagome frowned a little, debating on whether to voice her discovery.
"I found something yesterday that he was very … sensitive about." This seemed to shock the girl and she smiled. She probably wasn't aware that the demon lord felt any emotions at all.
"It was a letter, addressed to InuYasha. By the sound of it, Sesshomaru wrote it when him and InuYasha were still kids or something like that. It didn't sound at all like something adult Sesshomaru would write."
Yuri nodded a little and Kagome continued.
"I'm just worried that I might have seriously upset him by snooping into his personal life." Kagome sighed a little and was greeted by a reassuring smile by Yuri.
"Don't worry, Kagome. I'm sure that everything is fine now." Just as the words had passed from her lips, Sesshomaru entered the room, not knocking or anything.
"You are dismissed now, Yuri." He said in a cold voice. Yuri nodded and looked to her friend, giving her an encouraging smile before bowing politely and skittering out of the room.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, once hearing the swift click of the closing door, his eyes narrowed and unreadable except for the anger that was in them.
"What gives you the right to go through my personal things? I've been nice and I let you live your pathetic human mortal life and this is how you repay me by going through my personal things and putting your nose where it doesn't belong." Kagome was a little surprised at the emotion he was so openly portraying. While he was ranting on her prying into his past and personal life, he had begun to pace a little, showing mounting signs of frustration. A small smile played on her lips.
"Sesshomaru." She said softly, causing him to stop and look at her. Then, faster than she could blink, he had his arms around her and had already begun to kiss her.

Sometime later, Kagome was in the garden where she had agreed to meet him. Nervousness was growing in leaps and bounds and it was also knotting up her stomach. She didn't exactly know what was going to happen tonight but she had an idea that it had something to do with becoming fully mated to Sesshomaru.
The thought made her blush and she touched the bite mark on her neck that was made just hours earlier by the passionate demon lord. Kagome chuckled a little. She never thought that she could or would ever use the word passionate to describe Sesshomaru.
Slowly, she began calming herself down as she walked over to a near-by pond, looking at the moon's reflection in it. "It sure is pretty out here." She said softly.
"You only make it more beautiful." Sesshomaru said from behind her, a smirk playing on his lips when he saw her jump and tense as she turned to him. What he wasn't expecting was her smile. He was feeling confidant and in control but when he saw her smile, he nearly lost his control and claimed her, right there, right then. He shook his head a little, calming himself. No, he wanted this to be nice … for her …
She walked over to him and he smiled a little bit, running a hand over the mark he had made on her neck just this morning. Kagome surprised herself when she reached up and gently wrapped her fingers around his hand and then she was surprised yet again when he lifted their hands up and linked their fingers together.
"I don't know what this change is that I've undergone but, right now, I'm not regretting it."
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Sometime in the early morning, about an hour or so before dawn, Sesshomaru left his new mate and slid on his robe, not bothering to tie it as he stood looking out the window. Slowly, a realization hit him that he didn't have to be cold and "heartless" all the time. That he could, indeed, feel and experience love again and that's just what he was doing. Looking over to his now naked Kagome, he smiled a happy smile for the first time since he was a child … the last day of his adventures of frog catching with his little brother …
He didn't notice that he was staring until Kagome stirred a little and looked into his golden eyes. She smiled at him again and this time, he didn't just turn away or say something unmeaning or cold, he actually smiled back. Kagome's smile never faltered when she saw him smile, instead, she got out of the bed, taking a blanket and wrapping it around herself, going over to him.
Under the light of the moon, the demon lord led his new mate back to their bed and took her again.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …… …
Kagome rolled over, frowning in her sleep finding her sole heat source gone already. Yawning a little, she rolled onto her back, looking out the window. The sun was still pretty low in the sky so it couldn't be more than eight thirty in the morning, she thought. A smile grew on her face as memories of the previous night floated back to her.
"So you're finally up." She heard someone say. Her eyes went from their sleepy and content close to snapping open. She shot up in the bed, clutching the blankets to her chest, not expecting to see whom she saw.
Sesshomaru was sitting in a chair; a piece of paper in his hand while one leg was crossed over the other. She noticed that he was wearing a robe that was probably meant to be confined to the bedroom. Her eyes drifted over to another chair where a robe almost like this except a dark midnight blue with a pink and white flower pattern was draped across the back of it.
Kagome nodded a little and heard a chuckle, looking over to him again. Never in her year of coming to the Feudal era had she ever heard Sesshomaru laugh, come to think of it, yesterday and last night was probably the first time she'd ever seen him display such emotion.
"The robe is yours." He said softly. "I had breakfast brought up. I wasn't sure what you liked so I decided to get a bit of everything." Kagome slipped out of the nice and comfy bed, slipping on the robe. She almost gasped at the softness of it … it was almost like it wasn't even there …
Making her way over to her new mate, she realized that the paper he was holding was the letter she had found.
"Sesshomaru, I never got to tell you that I was sorry for snooping like I did." He set the letter and the book down and pulled her into his lap, his arms around her and he nuzzled her a little, taking in her sweet scent.
"Don't apologize for helping me." He murmured. Kagomae relaxed against his chest, putting her head on his shoulder.
"Are you sure?" She felt him nod.
"I'm positive. It's time to end this silly game. I have already sent Jakken with a message to my brother and his traveling companions, inviting them to the castle." Kagome smiled a little. She was excited to see everyone again; she was even excited to see InuYasha. She hoped everyone was doing well and no one was hurt.
There came a knock on the door and small hands opening it, a head poking through the opening, her wide brown eyes asking her silent question. Kagome saw the girl and smiled, opening her arms.
The little girl didn't waste a second before running into the room, letting the heavy door fall closed on it's own and jumped into Kagome's waiting arms.
"Okaa-san, does outo-san love her?" Rin asked innocently. Kagome smiled and was cut off before she could even answer.
"Hai, Rin. I do love Kagome." Kagome turned to him and watched him smile as he leaned forward and captured her lips with his. Rin smiled, hugging her parents. "Rin is happy that Rin has a full family now."
Kagome smiled down at the girl as she gently stroked her hair.
I guess this could be happily ever after …… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ……
A/N: Well, what did you think everyone? –Smiles- sorry … I don't do lemons, I want everyone to be able to be able to read it comfortably –smiles again- I've now reached 30 reviews! I can't believe it! I nearly cried when I saw how many I got! Thank you all SOOOOOOOO much! If you have any ideas, don't be hesitant to include them, constructive criticism is also welcome … just no flames. I don't think I ever mentioned that in any of the earlier chapters!
Cyrox- I really don't appreciate your review. I'm not basing hardly anything from the show and it is a fanfiction, which entitles me to write and make the characters do and say and act however I want. If you don't like it, well, I'm just not going to finish that statement.MysticTenshi – Yes, InuYasha finds out! Hence the reason why Sesshy-kun sent Jakken with a message! Hehe! I'm glad I made you happy!
professionaldooropener – I really enjoy making people happy so I'm glad this made you happy –smiles-
