Protecting Love
Chapter 8
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Just to let you all know, chapters 8, 9, and 10 are all really really short. Sorry. When I was writing this long hand, I guess I didn't really think about it! This chapter is also gushy. Very gushy!

After dinner, Rin and Jaken went into the gardens (fighting all the way). Ayami, seeing Sesshomaru's nod, followed him. They walked up to Sesshomaru's room.
"So…what is this all about?" Ayami asked, looking around.
Sesshomaru's room was bigger than hers (and hers was HUGE). It was painted the same color blue as his crescent moon. His bed (king size) was the color of his beautiful golden eyes.
Sesshomaru was still quiet.
"Sesshomaru?" Ayami asked with a questioning voice and expression on her face.
By now they had left the room and come out onto the balcony. The demon lord was now looking out into lands that were his. He was staring straight out to the crescent moon that had risen while they had been at supper. The moon out that night looked a lot like his own, with a lighter color though.
"Sesshomaru, if you're not going to tell me what is on your mind, then I'm going to go get ready for bed. Tomorrow, Rin is going to give me a tour of the gardens, and something tells me it is not going to be short and sweet." Ayami snapped slightly irritated.
She turned to walk away. As she was headed towards the door, she felt Sesshomaru staring at her back.
'She is so beautiful. I should tell her before I lose my chance.' Sesshomaru said with longing.
"Ayami, stop." Sesshomaru said, startling Ayami who was half way to the door.
"Yes?"
"Ever since the time I first saw you, I have not been able to get you out of my head. I do not know why, but you have stirred feelings in me that I have never felt before: adoration, jealousy, laughter, and most of all, love." Sesshomaru said in a fast fashion. (it is so ushy, gushy, and mushy!!!!!)
"Sesshomaru…I don't…"Ayami stumbled for the right words. She was stunned.
They both just looked at each other, neither daring to break their eyes apart. Finally, Ayami spoke.
"I feel the same exact same way." Ayami spoke softly. She smiled, blushed and looked away.
In a blink of an eye, he was beside her. He gently lifted her chin so she had to look him. Her eyes sparkled with the love she had just proclaimed.
"Ayami…" Sesshomaru mumbled.
Suddenly, Sesshomaru's lips crashed down onto Ayami's. For a while, they were completely lost. The kiss was long and passionate.
Ayami felt as if she floated to her room. Her lips pulsed after her kiss. She wanted another taste of the man (or demon, whichever you prefer) she loved. She wanted so much more.
Sesshomaru went to bed that night thinking. He was thinking about the one single thing he could never bear to lose: Ayami. His dreams were filled with her and her warm scent.

And that is were all of their troubles and problems began.

I am quite enjoying making cliff hangers. Enjoy the little cliffy poo of death I have left you on!
