Remember! The first review that I get that names both the title and artist of the song will get a one shot with their choice pairing from any of the manga/anime that I've listed under my likes on my profile! And…here is the next chappie!!! I probably wont update for a couple of days that way people have time to review and tomorrow I have school. Unless the weather becomes even more fucked up and we don't have school again.
Kagome carefully crept out of her sleeping bag and got on her clothes as quietly as she could. She carefully dug through her bag and carefully pulled out what she was looking for-her ice skates. Carefully making sure she didn't wake anyone up, Kagome slipped outside but stopped when she saw Ah-Un looking at her, wondering where she was going. Kagome quietly approached the dragon and laid a hand on each of its heads.
"I'm going over to that lake. It's a tem minute human walk east of here. You can hear that far cant you?" she whispered. Ah-Un nodded its heads. "Good. I'll be back after a bit." Silently she stole away towards the frozen lake. Once there she slipped on her skates and slid out onto the ice.
Silently she glided across the smooth glass of ice, spinning and jumping and twirling and softly laughing at her excitement. Tonight was a full moon and the ground sparkled like bright jewels and her hair shone like spun silk. Sesshomaru silently floated on his cloud and watched the jubilant girl as she seemed to fly across the ice. Suddenly, the most heavenly sound reached his ears as she began to sing.
"I lie awake beside the windowsill
Like a flower in a vase
A moment caught in glass.. Mmm
The rays of sunlight come and beckon me..
To a sleepy dreamy haze
A sense of summer days.. aa
If only I could stop the flow of time
Turn the clock to yesterday
Erasing all the pain.. mm
I've only memories of happiness
Such pleasure we have shared
I'd do it all again
This scenery is evergreen
As buds turn into leaves
the colors live and breathe
This scenery is evergreen
Your tears are falling silently
So full of joy you are a child of spring
With a beauty that is pure
An innocence endures.. aa
You flow right through me like a medicine
Bringing quiet to my soul
Without you I'm not whole
This scenery is evergreen
I need you far too much
I long to feel your touch
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear to me
This scenery is evergreen
It sorrows at the sight of seeing you so sad
This scenery is evergreen
I wish that I could dry your tears
The bells have rung the time has come
I cannot find the words to say my last goodbye
This scenery is evergreen
You've always been so dear too me"
Sesshomaru stepped onto the ground at the edge of the ice as she sang her song, still spinning and gliding ever so gracefully. She suddenly stopped as she noticed Sesshomaru watching her silently. Kagome blushed wondering how long he had been there.
"You were beautiful…" Sesshomaru whispered, turning his face away with a slight blush. Kagome's face was bright red as she skated closer to where he stood. Slowly, she reached out and grabbed his hand pulling it closer to her.
"Sesshomaru? Come out here with me?" she asked softly. Sesshomaru nodded and stepped out on the ice, his shoes gliding across the ice along with hers. Kagome smiled at him and let go of his hand, and gave him a grin that clearly said 'come and get me' before turning her back and racing away.
Sesshomaru raced after her and softly caught her against his chest. Kagome chuckled softly as she tried to get out of his grasp. Sesshomaru grabbed her hand and spun her around in a dance all their own without any music. Half an hour of silence later, Sesshomaru began to notice her skin becoming cold.
"Kagome? Do you want to go back and warm up?" Sesshomaru asked as he pulled her into another spin. She shook her head.
"I'm fine. I'm actually pretty warm right now believe it or not," she whispered with a smile leaning on his shoulder. Kagome paused a second before speaking again. "Sesshomaru?" she said.
"Humm?" Sesshomaru replied, continuing their dance.
"Can I see your arm Sesshomaru? I found something while I was at home," she whispered. Sesshomaru stopped and pulled the sleeve up to his elbow, where they had been healing it slowly. Kagome's hands glowed pink as she gently placed them on his elbow. Suddenly, in a warm flash of light, the rest of Sesshomaru's arm materialized. Kagome ran her hand down to his, making sure it was real. Realizing her triumph she jumped in the air squealing with delight. Unfortunately, Kagome landed wrong and her skate slipped out from under her. Reaching out to save her, Sesshomaru was drug down with her. Rolling to the side to shield her from pain, Kagome landed smack on top of him, their lips pressed together in an accidental kiss.
Kagome dimly noted as she bolted up blushing how soft but firm his lips were under hers, and how it had seemed that he had kissed her back almost. She noted how his eyes had slightly glazed over and he had a faint blush across his cheeks. With Kagome still on his lap, Sesshomaru gently sat up, leaning his head on her shoulder with a smile. He could hear her heart racing as fast as his was as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He could smell her lavender and jasmine scent and it sent his mind reeling, leaving him almost intoxicated by her. He couldn't have stopped himself from kissing her, even if ever so lightly when her lips collided with his. She was his obsession, if only he could tell her…
"Thank you Kagome," Sesshomaru whispered against her skin, hearing her pulse speed up again, tasting her skin against his lips, longing to just kiss her skin fully and hearing her sigh against him. She dimly nodded and looked away from him. That much he could tell. Sesshomaru leaned up and gazed at the miko in his arms. She looked like an angel in his arms with the way the moon was bathing her in its light. "What's wrong?" he asked softly. She had a far away look in her eyes that he wasn't too happy with.
"That was my first kiss…I guess…" she said with a blush. He gave a small smile then raised a hand to her cheek, making her eyes jump to his. His eyes glittered in the light.
"Well then that wasn't a very good one, now was it?" he smiled at her as his hand trailed to the back of her head, tangling his fingers in her silky black hair. "Shall I fix that for you and give you a better first kiss?" he whispered, his lips just above hers, praying that she would allow him to kiss her. It was all he could to not to crush his lips to hers and relish in all that was Kagome
She gave a small nod and Sesshomaru gently placed his lips upon hers, feeling her melt under him as he gently nibbled on her lower lip before dipping his tongue into her mouth to play with hers. Sesshomaru heard her let out a soft moan of pleasure as he pulled her deeper into the kiss, both utterly drowning in the pleasure. He gave one last gentle nip at her bottom lip before pulling back with a sigh. He was definitely testing his own self control with that kiss. Kagome let out a small whimper and rested her head on his shoulder as he stroked her hair. Sesshomaru sighed again as time drew on. He could hear her evened out breathing and as he moved back he realized that in the moments since she rested her head down to calm herself, she had fallen asleep.
He gently picked her up, cradling her in his arms. Sesshomaru glided back to the hut on his cloud after stopping to grab her shoes and walked in silently. InuYasha was up when he got there and looked extremely pissed.
"Where has she been, why is she passed out, and why do YOU have her?" InuYasha said in a harsh whisper, trying not to wake everyone else. Sesshomaru kneeled down with her and laid her down on her sleeping bag, carefully taking off her skates.
"She went off to that lake about 5 minutes away from here. She was trying to get some time to herself I believe. I ran into her on my way back. She ended up falling asleep against me when I caught her from falling. Happy InuYasha?" Sesshomaru said as he threw another log onto the dwindling fire.
"No. she reeks of your scent. I want to know why," InuYasha said angrily.
"Get over it brother. I don't understand why you act so possessive when you are mated to another" Sesshomaru voiced angrily. No one seemed to notice that Kagome was awake and listening. She did her best to hold back the tears that threatened to overcome her.
"Because I don't want to see you hurt her!" Sesshomaru shook his head at this outburst.
"And you think that once she finds out that you mated the clay pot that you will not have hurt her more than you ever have before? I, unlike you, DO care for her. I will not be so heartless as you are. Never would I put her through the same shit that you do InuYasha," Sesshomaru said, his voice like ice. He knew that she was up and listening. He hoped she would believe his words and finally catch on to his feelings for her. She didn't deserve to put up with his crap, and he didn't even deserve to be in the presence of one such as her in his mind.
"Yeah, well I-"
"Shut up InuYasha." Kagome interrupted, her eyes full of unshed tears. "Just shut up and go back to sleep. I'm going back to the lake. And neither of you are going to stop me," she said as she put her shoes back on and grabbed her skates. InuYasha reached out a hand to her but Sesshomaru slapped it away growling at him softly. Kagome ran out of the hut, Sesshomaru walking behind her much to InuYasha's annoyance.
Once in the forest out of earshot, Kagome turned around and buried herself in Sesshomaru's chest, beginning to cry. She knew he had been following her, making sure no harm came to her as she had ran out blindly. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on top of her head, stroking her hair as he let her cry.
"I meant what I said Kagome. I do care about you, and I'd never hurt you. You know me better than that," he whispered soothingly. It was true, in the past few months, she had changed him, bringing him out of his iced cage. In truth, he realized in that moment that he truly loved her. With his whole heart, soul, and body he truly loved the young miko before him. He gently lifted her chin to make her look at him.
Slowly he pressed his lips to hers in a sealing kiss of his words. Puling back before he made it into something he knew she wasn't ready for, he suddenly picked her up bridal style and began to carry her back to the hut. Surprisingly she didn't protest and neither did InuYasha when he carried her in and lay down with her cradled in his arms as she slept.
The last conscious thought he had before sleep and the lull of her scent claimed him was only this. 'Wait to tell her. She's not ready to know how deeply and truly I feel for her. Never to harm will I let her come. Never will I let anyone harm my Kagome ever again.'
YAY!!! I finally got this chapter typed up! Don't forget that the first review I get that has the Title AND Artist of the song she sings will get a one shot. Although truthfully, how many of you forgot about that will all the fluffiness that I threw in there? Hope you liked it. Parts of it were thrown in and not planned from what I originally wrote on paper. So yeah. Please? Be nice and hit that little purple box at the bottom left side of the page and leave me a review……
Oh! And thank you to dimpleslane1992 for being my ONLY reviewer for the last chapter, even though I've gotten almost 700 hits on it………..but thanks for letting me feel like at least people are reading it for those almost 700 people that have read it!
