Kagome tightly squeezed her eyes shut and took a few shallow breaths. The burning, it just won't subside. Lord Inutaisho had promised to find her a donor, but where was he now? It had been just a few minutes since he had said that, yet it felt like a lifetime to her. And how had he known what she was?
She opened her eyes and silently pushed the silky blankets away from her burning body. Kagome slowly rested her feet on the cool marble floor and gazed out the window. An interesting scent was blowing in on the slight breeze through the large window and was tickling her nose. She wanted to find the source.
Before she knew it, she found herself standing before the open window gazing down at the large garden. The closer she got to it, the more the burning inside of her intensified. Kagome looked up at the large tree located in the center of the garden and saw Sesshomaru standing in it, gazing at the full moon. Her pupils slightly dilated as the wind changed direction, strengthening the scent. She slowly climbed on to the windowsill and jumped silently to the ground, the shock of the impact sending slight pain through her back. Kagome's breathing quickened as she neared the tree. She stopped. Sesshomaru turned and looked down at her, his face an emotionless mask but his eyes portraying worry. "Kagome?" he asked as he jumped down from the branch he was standing on. He couldn't see her eyes because of the wind blowing her hair to cover them and she had an equally emotionless expression on her face. She took a shallow breath. "Grass. Morning dew. Citrus." she whispered. "What?" she took a step closer. "Your scent…" she whispered again as she took another step towards him. She was in arms reach of him now. "Kagome?" he could smell blood now. He studied her face and noticed two milky white fangs poking into her lip, causing it to turn red with blood. Retractable fangs? What is she? Her breathing became harsh and seemed to echo all around him.
Suddenly, Sesshomaru heard loud footsteps approaching fast. He gazed passed Kagome's shoulder and saw his father and a castle soldier running towards them. "Sesshomaru, move away from her!" his father yelled. "What? Why-" but before he could finish, Kagome grabbed him and pulled him close to her. A slight blush covered his cheeks. Her nose was tickling the base of his throat as she sniffed him. Her nose slowly trailed up to the side of his neck, a few inches under his ear. "Kagome, what are you-" Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck that was soon replaced by a warm, tingly feeling. "Sesshomaru!"
