Sesshomaru was amazed he had no idea that Kagome was that powerful. He looked at her lying on the ground and picked her up. Apparently all that power had just been too much for her to handle. Sesshomaru cradled her to his chest as he took her to her room; he laid her on the bed and kissed her forehead gently. "I love you Kagome" It was so easy to tell her when he knew she couldn't understand him than when she was awake. He walked silently from the room and entered his study. As he sat behind his desk and signed papers he could think only of Kagome. He could not stop wondering why she chose to stay with him, he hoped it was because she loved him but he was not sure. Finally he decided that he would take her on a stroll through the garden and then he would ask her why she had stayed. He would also tell her that he loved her and hope that she didn't reject him.
Kagome awoke in her bed and looked around. It took a moment but she remembered what had happened. She had no idea she could do that to someone. She left the room to find Sesshomaru and found him in his study. "Do you still wish to go for a walk in the garden with me?" She was hoping he would say yes, she had something important to tell him. Sesshomaru did not answer her instead he stood and took her hand. She followed as he led her out onto the palace grounds and started to head for the garden. They walked together in silence for a long time both of them trying to think of what to say. Finally Kagome couldn't take the silence anymore "Sesshomaru I have something I've been wanting to tell you for a while, I just don't know how to say it." There was an awkward pause as she tried to think of the words she needed to say "I don't know for sure if you care for me but I've grown to love you Sesshomaru" Sesshomaru smiled his rare smile "I love you too Kagome" he said it in such a whisper it took Kagome a minute to realize what he had said but once it hit her she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sesshomaru couldn't stop smiling as he embraced Kagome, he was finally truly happy and he wouldn't let anyone take that away from him.
