Lady Ami was walking down the corridor when she sensed Kizu racing towards her. "Okaasan! Is Lord Sesshomaru-sama awake?" Kizu asks excitedly. "Yes. He is." "Yay! Are you friends with him now?" "I am not sure Kizu. I am going to the hotsprings. Please find something to do. Maybe you can play with Rin." "Kizu-chan! Do you want to go play in the gardens with Rin?" Rin asked. "Sure Rin-chan! Let's go!"

Lady Ami decided to mask her scent because she did not want to see Sesshomaru after the embarrassing scene where she ran out of his room. I only cared because he was unconscious. Right? Ah well. The hotsprings will take my mind off of Sesshomaru. So you admit you were thinking about him? Oh My god! Shut Up! You are just denying feelings. I have no feelings. Hmm I seem to recall a certain Lady Ami shedding tears for him AND singing about him. What of it? Oh nothing at all. It's just that you actually said that you wanted and needed him to stay alive and that you didn't want him to leave you. So what? God you are difficult! Just admit it! Admit what? Don't play dumb! You know what I'm talking about. I do? Yes you do! You love him. ADMIT IT! I am you and I know that you love him. Prove it. You sang about him, you cried for him, you stammered when he talked to you, you didn't leave his side for a week! YOU LOVE HIM! JUST DROP YOUR PRIDE AND TELL HIM!

Ami was so busy arguing wih herself she didn't notice a certain silver haired demon in the hot springs. She didn't realize he was there because she was so preoccupied with arguing against her inner demon. Sesshomaru just smirked a bit but turned around while she undressed to get in. After she got in the hotsprings a familiar scent hit her nose. No way in hell can he be in here. I would have smelled his scent before this or seen him or something. "You really should pay attention to your surroundings Lady Ami." Upon Sesshomaru's voice she just froze in embarrassment and shock. He continued speaking "If I had known you were coming I might have gotten out but you must have masked your scent therefore I did not know. Why did you mask your scent Lady Ami?" "Well it's none of your business why I masked my scent. What do you mean might have gotten out?" "Hn. nothing really. Its just that I might have wanted to continue my bath wether you were here or not." I can't believe him. That..That...oh I can't even insult him. Hmm he does have a well chisled chest. NO NO AMI STOP THINKING LIKE THAT! You do like him. Lady Ami's thoughts were interrupted by Sesshomaru speaking.

"Lady Ami you never answered my question." He whispered huskily into her ear. Lady Ami could just feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as he spoke to her. "W-what question?" Lady Ami asked. You Idiot you stammered again! Lady Ami's inner demon scolded her . Sesshomaru continued to whisper in her ear. "When I became conscious I asked you if you really cared and you didn't answer me." Lady Ami could feel her face heating up. Oh God I hope I'm not blushing! Oh please, please, please don't let me be blushing. Oh don't worry you are. Oh god after I entered the hotspring I unmasked my scent. Which means he can sense if I am lying or nervous. He knows the effect he is having on me. Oh God not good. Don't panick. He loves you. How do you know? He's staring at your lips. Sesshomaru realizing that she must be arguing with her inner demon decided to sit down next to her and wait for her give up or win. I wonder if her inner demon is as annoying as mine. Hey! I am not annoying. You are almost as annoying as Jaken. That is so insulting. I wish Rin could throw stones at you. Sesshomaru thinks.

Seeing that Ami was finished arguing with herself he put his arm around her and whispered, "Well, Ami you really do care don't you?" "I uh I don't show emotions." "You can have emotions and choose not to show them." "Why is that what you do?" Ami asked completely forgetting where they both were and how it must look to anyone coming into the hotsprings. "About a month ago I began to have miniscule feelings and I hide them well considering you can not read them not even now." Ami shivered as she felt his warm breath on her cool face. "If you are not going to answer my question then could you do something for me?" Asks Sesshomaru. "Whatever it is can you wait until I'm dressed?" "Fine get dressed then." "uh you should get dressed too." Ami says. "Right." "Okay then uh I get out first keep your back turned until I tap your shoulder." Sesshomaru agreed and kept his back turned until he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Okay I'm dressed. Now you get dressed." Ami said to Sesshomaru as she turned her back towards him. "Are you dressed yet?" Ami asked. "Yes." Sesshomaru replied.

"Okay what is it that you wanted Sesshomaru?" "I want you to sing to me again." "Why do you want me to sing to you?" "I like your voice. It calms me." "oh okay. Well what do you want me to sing?" "Anything you want to sing." "All I can remember is an old song my mother would sing to me." "I would like to hear it." "Okay. Here goes."

"Where you go you know I'll be there. If you go far you know I'll be there. I'll go anywhere. So I'll see you there. You place the name you know I'll be there. You name the time you know I'll be there. I don't care if you don't mind. I'll be there not far behind. I will dare. Keep in mind I'll be there for you. If you should fall you know I'll be there. To catch the call you know I'll be there. I'll go anywhere. So I'll see you there. I don't care if you don't mind. I'll be there not far behind. I will dare. Keep in mind. I'll be there for you. I'll be there for you."

"That was pleasant Ami. Did you really mean those lyrics?" Sesshomaru asked. "Thank-you and yes I did. Sesshomaru if you ever need help even if your fear of hurting your pride makes you say no I will be there for you." "Sesshomaru?" "hn?" "Can we go look at the stars?" If you want to."

Ami was finally beginning to show more emotions as she smiled and happily pointed out the constellations.(sp?) Sesshomaru smiled a little smile. He too was beginning to show a tad of emotion. "You know Ami. You really should sing more." Sesshomaru says. "Perhaps, but you should smile more. I like it when you smile." Ami said as she fell asleep. Sesshomaru gently picked up Ami and took her to her room. On the way he got some inquisitve looks from the servants. He stopped those with a "Say-anything-and-I-will-rip-you-to-shreds" death glare. He set Ami down on her bed then went to his own room and fell asleep.


MANY OF YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING WTH? Its just that I thought the story needed some fluffiness. So this was the fluffy chapter. And sesshomaru just woke up from a coma he deserves to be allowed to show a little emotion! I just realized I forgot a chapter 7 disclaimer so chapter eight's disclaimer also goes for chapter seven!
