Sesshomaru ran onward; every step seemed to be yelling at him. Find her, find her, find her. He knew by this point that there was no turning back, Kagome was in danger and he would not rest until he found and held her safely in him arms. Unfortunately he was running blind to say the least, none of his superior senses were any help to him. The rain made them useless. He now ran forward on hope and luck, he needed something so he could find Kagome. It only he could catch just a small trace of her scent or any sign that she was near. Running onward Sesshomaru did something he had never done before, he preyed.

"Please let me find Kagome in time," He preyed out loud. Hoping that maybe, his prayer would be answered.

To Sesshomaru's astonishment his prayer was answered. As soon as the words left his mouth a scream shattered the heavy sound of the rain. Running with renewed energy Sesshomaru searched for the owner of the voice. He knew it was Kagome the moment it reached his sensitive ears. He felt a little bit of relief now that he at least knew that she was alive. Unfortunately like all the other times that relief was short lived, because as he ran towards the source of the scream it became obvious that he was running towards a cliff. The forest had thinned out and the ground was beginning to slope upward. As he neared the edge Kagomes scent hit him, it was salty from the tears she had shed but for once he welcomed the salty scent because it over powered the rain. (Kagome had stopped crying but salt water is a very powerful scent so the scent stayed on her)

As he neared the edge Sesshomaru felt his heart beat faster and faster. Kagome couldn't have fallen over the edge is she had… he wouldn't think of the outcome it was too horrible for him to think about. But as he got closer and closer to the edge Kagome's scent disappeared, it was like it vanished into thin air. Taking a tentative step forward he tried to find solid ground beneath his foot, to his horror there was none. Panicking Sesshomaru got down on his hands and knees, looking over the edge he felt his stomach lurch. There was Kagome hanging on a branch about 10 feet down the cliff. Her image was blurry because of the rain but even with the rain he could tell that she was shaking violently.

"KAGOME!" he screamed, hoping that she would answer. That she would ask him to help her, any kind of sign that told him that she was ok.

All he got in reply was silence. Heart beating hard against his chest Sesshomaru tried to figure out a way to save her. She was too far down to grab and obviously not strong enough to hold onto a rope. That only left one choice open to him, but he would have to do it quickly.

Sesshomaru screamed Kagome's name once more in hopes that she would reply. He didn't know why he did it; he felt that he had to make sure she knew that he was here and that he was going to save her. "Kagome, hold on I'm going to save you!"

Something was calling her, she had thought it was the wind at first, but when they called her name again she knew that she had been found. Lifting her head she ignored the rain as it shot up he nose and into he mouth. She didn't care she just had to know if it was him. Ignoring the pain that hit her eyes when she opened them Kagome looked up at the person who was yelling at her. Her heart soared when she recognized Sesshomaru's long silver braid over his shoulder. He had come to save her, but just as she felt that she was going to be ok a fit of coughs racked her body. Causing her to choke and be unable to breathe, she had tried so hard to hold on hoping that someone would save her. Now she could hold on no longer her eye's rolled into the back of her head and the darkness consumed her and finally Kagome let go of the branch. Falling into the darkness below.

(A/N I was so tempted to stop it here but I'm not mean and any ways the chapter would be too short)

When Sesshomaru had seen Kagome move he had been so relieved, she knew that some one had come, and she would hold on. But again his relief was ripped from his body as he watch in horror and she began to cough violently and let go of the branch. Screaming her name Sesshomaru took action. His body began to change and red seeped into his eyes all he knew at that moment was that he had to save Kagome. Without a second thought he launched himself over the edge.

(A/N again another great place to stop but alas this also would make the chapter to short.)

Cold, she was so cold and yet her back was so warm, a fire crackled near her and the sound of rain could be heard outside, Outside? Kagomes eyes shot open. Where was she? It was dark save the small area of light that fire made. Once the confusion of where she was subsided, the realization that she was leaning against something furry set in. Screaming she crawled away, she had no idea what it had been but what ever it was it was big.

Turing around her first thought was that the creature was Shito, but it was soon apparent that it wasn't Shito. It was like a huge dog just like the spirit but this one was bigger and was white.

The dog had shot up its head when she had screamed and was now staring at her with golden eyes. 'Golden eyes?' thought Kagome. 'The only person I know with those color eye is Sesshomaru!' that's when it clicked, Sesshomaru was a dog demon so that meant that he could transform from human to demon when ever he pleased. She remembered learning that s long time ago it was common knowledge, but the shock of seeing Sesshomaru in that state had not really allowed her to remember the common fact.

Crawling close to him, Kagome put her hand on his head and scratched him behind the ear. She didn't know why she did it but it seemed like the natural thing to do. At once she was rewarded with a happy growl from demon, as she scratched him, she looked at her surrounding's. It appeared that they were in a cave, but that was all she could tell. The light from the fire was not bright enough to show any details about the cave. Returning full attention back to scratching the demon kagome began to shiver, Goosebumps appeared on her arms and legs. Her clothes were soaked and offered no warmth actually the made her even more cold. She knew that the smartest move would be to move towards the small fire and what little heat it provided. But she just couldn't bring herself to leave the side of her rescuer.

It didn't take Sesshomaru long to notice that she was shivering and even though Kagome had chosen to ignore it he would not. She had much training to get through and schoolwork to catch up on and if she got sick then she would fall further behind. Unfortunately the longer he stayed in this form the sicker she would become. His fur did keep him warm but that same fur also her colder. It hadn't dried off and wouldn't for a very long time because of how thick it was. So with a final purr of delight he aloud his body to change back into its human state. But before he could do that he had to move away from her. He would be naked when he changed back, his school uniform wouldn't fit on him when he was in his dog form. So standing up he walked over to the clothes, which were drying by the fire and resumed changing back.

Realizing that Sesshomaru was retuning to his human state Kagome quickly turned around. Blushing a deep cherry red as she did so. Once she was sure that he was done changing she again turned around. Only to turn even redder if possible. When she turned around Sesshomaru was still buttoning up his shirt. Something, which appeared to be a difficult task for him because of his claws. Noticing that he needed help Kagome walked over and began to do up the buttons.

As her hands reached his mid chest Sesshomaru's hand quickly grabbed hers. Wondering what was wrong Kagome turned her face up to Sesshomaru's and immediately blushed. Sesshomaru was looking into her eyes so deeply that she became lost in their amber pools. Her heart started to beat rapidly in her chest her breath became short. A shiver ran through her body. One part o her said to back up and get away right now, but another more powerful part told her to stay so Kagome stayed put. For a while they just stood like that each staring into the others eyes, the rain pounding the roof of their sanctuary.

Sesshomaru didn't understand what was going on. This girl was a miko that he had to train that was all. That was the biggest lie that he could have ever told himself. If that was true then why did he take her in for 2 weeks, hold her hand, save her life more than once and above all care about her enough to chase after her in the pouring rain. Truly he did care about her. He cared enough to say that her loved her; he could no longer be so close to her yet so far.

By this time they were about a couple of inches away from each other. Unable to stand it any longer Sesshomaru quickly closed the distance between them. His lips captured her and he couldn't believe how right it felt. Then the feeling that he had felt so many times before, that feeling of loss and loneliness finally he knew what it was he was in love wither. Him Sesshomaru a mighty demon had fallen in love with Kagome. Yet no matter how hard her tried to think it as wrong he couldn't it felt too right.

Kagome couldn't believe what was happening. She was kissing Sesshomaru. What did this mean? Soon all thoughts were pushed away as she gave into the kiss. Pulling her hands free from Sesshomaru's Kagome wrapped them around his neck. His soft silver hair getting tangled up in her fingers in the process.

Now that his hands were free Sesshomaru wrapped one around her waist and the other he used to wrap around her neck supporting her as he decided to deepen the kiss. His tongue ran along the edge of her bottom lips asking for entrance which Kagome gladly aloud. Their tongues were soon fighting for dominance. A quality that shocked and aroused Sesshomaru, the shy Kagome was not so shy after all. Soon though she had submitted to him. The rain could be heard, outside thunder and lightning announced the arrival of a huge storm, but the two remained oblivious to everything. Too caught up in each other, to such a point that neither noticed the humming and magical aura of a recently removed spell.

A/n you know I could have had let's see 1..2..3 THREE chapter's in this one grr but I'm not that mean and anyways I promised you guy a really good chapter and so far I hope it's good.)

No matter how much heat their bodies created it couldn't stop the shiver that ran up and down Kagomes back. she was still very cold and being in such wet clothes standing up away from the fire wasn't going to help her warm up.

Her shiver seemed to bring Sesshomaru back to his senses. As he ended the kiss and looked at Kagome her skin was almost blues and she was again shaking and her teeth now separated from the heat of his mouth began to chatter. The only thing that didn't turn blue were her lips, which remained pink and tender. Oh how we wanted to capture those lips with his own again the feel of her tongue was a sensation that he would never forget and he was sure Kagome wouldn't either. No matter how much he wanted to touch those lips again he refrained. She was cold and would become ill if she didn't warm up soon.

Walking away from Kagome and to the side of the cave Sesshomaru picked up a large pile or wood and tossed some of it onto the fire. Setting the rest down beside the flames, which now fueled, roared to life.

Kagome immediately walked over to the heat if the fire. Soon her face and legs had warmed up, but her mid body and chest area would not warm. Soaking wet clothes made it impossible.

"Take off your clothes," Said Sesshomaru calmly.

Kagome couldn't believe what he was hearing she knew it was a great kiss, but she wasn't ready for that. He had the nerve to tell her to take off her clothes, in this cold, dark and damp cave! "What! Excuse me buddy but I'm not taking off my clothes they're perfectly fine where they are. ON my body!"

"And because those clothes are on you body you're going to get sick. Even you should know that if you stay in soaking wet clothes you can get even more sick," Snapped Sesshomaru. 'Well this is a side of Kagome I didn't know existed, I'll have to look into it…later."

"Yes, but I don't think it could be much better for me to walk around stalk naked," replied Kagome heatedly.

"I never had any intention of you walking around naked you will be wearing my school jacket,"

"Oh… well why didn't you say so sooner?" Kagome said much softly then she did before.

'So she does have spirit. She's not one to be pushes around. yet it's happened to her all of her life. Imagine this was just a small glimpse of what she could have been like had she not been so emotionally scared.' Thought Sesshomaru. True she had gotten used to him gotten used to him she had let her true personality shine. It was one that would be able to light the darkest nights. If only her light hadn't been smothered so long ago.

Looking up at the object of his thought Sesshomaru noticed that she was still in the soaking wet clothes. "I thought I told you to take those clothes off," He snapped at her.

Kagome shrank back, what had she done make him snap at her like that? Maybe it was because she had argued with him. 'I've done it again haven't I. I keep forgetting that I'm different. I shouldn't have argues with him I mean why would he have wanted to do anything with me? Not that I would have it's just…'

Realizing just what she was thinking Kagome blushed and snapped out of it. remembering the reason Sesshomaru was angry with her Kagome began to undress. Her whole body growing hot as she blushed again. Soon she stood behind Sesshomaru in only her bra and panties.

Sesshomaru had turned his back to Kagome so that she would undress and after 5 minutes after he was sure that she undressed he looked over his shoulder and at the ground. Scanning until his eyes found the pile of wet clothes on the cave floor. Turning around again he stood up and turned to face Kagome. The sight before him was extremely arousing. There stood Kagome blushing with each arm trying to cover her underwear. Unfortunately she was very unsuccessful it was ironic that in her attempts to be modest she was actually looking even more attractive.

Since Kagome's eyes were cast downward Sesshomaru took the opportunity to quickly scan her body. she truly was a beauty, her legs long and slender and she had a perfect hourglass figure. Her breasts were the perfect size not to big but not to small just tight for her body. her ivory skin seemed to glow in the firelight and was a sharp contrast to her dark raven locks. Truly she looked like a goddess.

Sesshomaru began to walk towards her, it was like his body had a mind of it's own and for once he was listing. Walking he stopped right in front Kagome. Noticing she was shivering more violently he place his jacket gently on her shoulders.

Kagome was so busy being embarrassed that she didn't notice how close Sesshomaru had gotten to her. when he placed his jacket on her shoulders she snapped out of her daze, as the feeling of warmth spre4ad through out her body. looking up she locked eyes with Sesshomaru. Her body began to grow hot and it wasn't from the heat the jacket gave her.

As soon as Kagome looked into his eyes Sesshomaru's mind went into over drive. It was weird how just by looking at him the way she did made him want to take away all her problems. Made him want to kill every person how had ever said a cruel word to her. grabbing the selves of the jacket he pulled Kagome to him in a tight embrace. He couldn't explain the way she made him feel why did his heart pound so hard against his chest whenever her saw her? why did she make him want to hurt every person who had ever wronged her? what was this feeling he felt? Why was it that when she was lost in the rain if he wasn't by her side. Before he knew it he had for the second time that night taken her lips in his own. All he could think before his mind turned into the kiss was. 'Damn, why does this feel so right?'
