Kiyota had him cornered. Sesshoumaru was not escaping her now. Cornered in his own personal bedchamber. Maybe it had been a bad idea to have her here.
Scared? His Inu asked.
NEVER! He growled back.
"Sesshoumaru-sama." She said softly. He had expected anger not softness from her. This woman always confused him.
"Kiyota." He answered.
"You're too important for anyone. There is something wrong with everything you see. But I, I know who you really are. You're the one who cries when you're alone." She said staring into the depths of his golden eyes.
"This Sesshoumaru doesn't not cry." He defended himself.
"You do and have. You feel joy when you fight, alive when you kill. I have seen the mist in your eyes before my lord." She whispered. "You think I can't see right through your eyes. You're scared to death to face reality. No one seems to hear your hidden cries. You're left to face yourself alone." She said. "Where will you go when there is no one left to save you from yourself? You can't escape the truth. I realize you're afraid, but you can't abandon everyone." She said.
"This Sesshoumaru is afraid of nothing." He said.
She knows us well. What did I tell you about her?
Quite damnable beast. She knows nothing. Sesshoumaru answered his Inu.
"I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands. Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone Sesshoumaru-sama? I can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming." Kiyota said sadly. "You can't reject the whole world." She finished softly.
"I have rejected nothing." Sesshoumaru said his voice softening.
"You reject me." She said.
"For your own protection I might add." He said.
"You can not live your whole life alone Sesshoumaru-sama. I'm not going anywhere. No matter how much you order me to leave and return to Kagome, I won't go. I won't let you abandon me." She said. Sesshoumaru's next move surprised even him. He pulled her into his arms holding her tightly against him dropping his lips to hers in a tender kiss which quickly turned into a heated passionate kiss. Sesshoumaru's mind hazed over as her body molded itself against his own. He shook with the flooding emotions pouring through him. Her little hands managed to tangle themselves in his soft hair. When he finally released her lips, he looked down into her deep violet eyes searching for any hint of rejection there. He found none. She looked up into his golden eyes seeing his heart there. She'd pushed the right buttons. His walls were completely down now and he was completely unguarded with her. His clawed hands still rested on the small of her back holding her against him.
"No one..." He spoke softly. "has ever pinned me as well as you."
"We aren't so different Sesshoumaru-sama." She said.
"Enough with the Sesshoumaru-sama. Its just Sesshoumaru." He said.
"Well just Sesshoumaru, are you going to release me?" She asked. His dark golden eyes looked down into her deep violet eyes and a small smile played across his lips.
"Never." He whispered before his lips captured hers again.
