Chapter 26

"Sarah what do you think of being mates with Sesshomaru?" Sango asked Sarah. Sarah looked at Sango and started blushing about the question and thought about it and knew she would have to tell them even if she tried lying about it.

"W-Well I think, I-I mean I know…" She started stuttering out.

"What Sarah?" Kagome asked.

"I w-was meaning um…I t-think…I do want to be with him but I don't know if he wants to be with a tenshi like me where I am always attacked and his demon trying to overpower me and saying he will mark me and I love him but I'm afraid that his demon would do something to me and I don't want him to do that." Sarah said quickly and blushing.

"Awe that's nothing to be scared of Sarah, we know how that is, Miroku and Inuyasha have been sissy's about asking us out and they finally did and have been courting us for a while. But you don't have to be scared about his demon, he's only wanting to make you his own so he can protect you always." Kagome said hugging Sarah.

"But it scares me that he would try and force himself onto me to mark me. I don't want him trying to force himself to have me as his mate, I just want him to ask me without his demon demanding it. Just Sesshomaru asking me in the most romantic way anyone could, but I have a feeling his demon would not go with it." Sarah said.

"Well maybe if he could control his demon more and be romantic about it maybe you wouldn't feel so scared." Sango said.

"But Sesshomaru was already romantic with me while you guys were gone, he had a dinner set out for me and then afterwards we sat on the deck with our drinks and watch the sun start to set as dolphins played with their family." Sarah said blushing. Both Sango and Kagome both squealed at what she said and told her how cute it was for him to do all that when the door opened and all three boys fell onto the floor looking like they were just caught red handed and the girls told them off about listening on their conversations like the day before. Ignoring them Sesshomaru crawled out from under the last two and walked over to Sarah taking her hand and pulling her up to him.

"Sarah I am sorry for what my demon has done and how my demon has been acting with you around. It's just that I am in love with you and it is hard to be in control around you, I want to keep you in my arms and always protect you." He told her looking into her eyes, she nodded to him blushing lightly and thought that it was very romantic how he was being with her in front of the others.

"It is ok Sessho-kun, I forgive you." Sarah said. he smiled at her and kissed her forehead and the girls awed at his action and Sarah saw him blush and she giggled at him blushing.

"Sango-Chan Kagome-Chan stop your making him blush at you. But I find it really cute, him blushing like that." Sarah said hugging him.

"But it's so cute that he's blushing!" Sango said.

"But I thought that you thought puppies were cute?" Miroku asked.

"I do hentai, but seeing Sesshomaru blush is even cuter!" Sango said.

"Now I have seen everything." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru glared at him and was only pinched by Sarah to get his attention.

"If you guys don't mind, its past midnight, and I would like to go to sleep. I go jogging every morning when on vacation and we are on vacation so I have to get up early to jog then to work on my fighting." Sarah said.

"Alright then, maybe we can get up with you and work on our fighting as well." Sango said.

"That would be awesome, I need some sparing partners to fight." Sarah said. The others agreed and said their good nights and left her room, Sarah stopped Sesshomaru from leaving and he looked at her wondering what she needed when she kissed him deeply wrapping her arms around his neck, he kissed her back pulling her close to him holding onto her by her waist. She pulled back from him and looked into his eyes putting her hands onto his face, he looked back and saw her eyes changing into silver blue again and he was getting lost in her eyes.

"I need you to go to your room, wait for me there, we need to talk about some things Sesshomaru." Sarah said. he nodded to her and kissed her again, she kissed him back holding onto his shirt as he held her waist again. She then pushed him out of her room and heard him whine to her, she smiled at him and blew him a kiss.

"Wait in your room, you will hear me knock on your door. And keep your demon in check or else someone will be spending the next week alone." She said.

"Yes mistress." He told her grinning. She giggled and shut her door and went to her dresser slipping off his clothes she borrowed and pulled out her night shirt and a pair of panties leaving it at that, she went to the bathroom and checked out the marks on her neck and saw they were fading but still there.

"I wonder what this is from…" Sarah asked herself. She touched it and it didn't hurt anymore, shrugging her shoulders she walked out of her bathroom to grab her robe off her bed then got ready to head to Sesshomaru's room to talk. She opened her door to find Inuyasha in mid knocking and almost knocked on her head.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing here? Did you need something?" Sarah asked closing her robe.

"Um, do you think I could ask you something?" He asked her.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked him.

"Do you think Kagome would want me? Like as a mate?" He asked her.

"Oh Inuyasha…you need to trust into yourself. And trust me, she wants you that way, I could tell when we talked about you boys at her house. She really loves you, and when she asked me if I think that you don't really love her, from the looks you give her in secret when she isn't looking I could clearly tell you really love her. And she really loves you back only she doesn't know how you feel, she told me that you don't look like you love her how she loves you, to her you look like you're bored all the time. You need to go to her tomorrow, and be romantic with her, tomorrow night ask her to talk alone and talk about it together." She told him patting his head.

"But what if she says she isn't sure?" He asked her.

"Then tell her you can wait for her answer, and if you come back to me asking more advice I will go to her and ask what is going on." Sarah told him again. He nodded and wished her a good night then went back to his room for the night, looking down the hallway to make sure all the lights were out, she quickly shut her light out and shut her door and tip toed to Sesshomaru's room. She knocked on his door and the door opened to show Sesshomaru in his night clothes he saw that it was her and let her into his room.

"What did you want to talk about Sarah?" He asked her turning on the light. Sarah moved to the bed side and turned on the side table light and asked him to turn off the main lights and he did, she sat on his bed and noticed that the sheets were clean from the blood that there was earlier and guessed a maid came in and changed the sheets and took care of the bloody sheets. Sesshomaru walked over and sat next to her and looked at her wondering if it was because of his demon, before he could guess she took his hand without looking at him.

"Sesshomaru, I know you try your best at controlling your demon, but I don't know what it is so hard for your demon to understand I am not ready to be marked, I am just afraid you would get mad if I said no about something and your demon came out and attack me. I really love you a lot Sesshomaru but I am scared of your demon." She said not looking at him.

"Sarah, I don't want you scared of me or my demon, but I understand that you are thanks to his attacks of you, I do try controlling him but my need of being around you and wanting to protect you he takes that as his power and controls me to get you." Sesshomaru said taking her hand and held it.

"I know you don't mean to, but I want to know why it is your demon can't handle being around me." Sarah said to him still not looking at him but only at their hands. He sighed and pulled her close to him and pulled her onto his lap to hold her close to him and smelled her scent and felt more relaxed to talk about it.

"The reason is, is that I love you a lot, and I want to make you mine but I don't know how to ask you or how you would react to me asking you to by my mate. But I always want to be around you and hold you and protect you." He told her laying his head against her neck.

"Well, do you think you can wait and ask my mom before asking me to be your mate? I know if mom found out you mated me without her knowing she might get mad at you. But I would say yes to you, I want to be with you, and even thought it's been only a few weeks since we met you are the best man I have been friends and lovers with." She told him looking over to him. He smiled and kissed her cheek lightly and got up helping her up.

"I need you to follow me, I want to show you something. And I won't attack you." He told her. She nodded to him and followed him to his balcony and just as they walked out he picked her up and jumped off the balcony making Sarah scream in surprise and Sesshomaru quickly covered her mouth to keep her scream from waking everyone up. Setting her down she hit him in the arm and he only smiled. He took her hand and they walked down to the beach a ways till the house was just a ways away but far enough where they can talk as loud as they want.

"What did you need to show me Sessho-kun?" Sarah asked.

"I wanted to show you something no one but my father has seen, promise you won't get scared and run away?" He asked her.

"I promise, but what is it?" She asked getting inpatient. He moved away a little and she watched him wondering what he would do when she saw him change growling in pain, she wanted to go to him but she couldn't move to his growling and saw him change from a human to a large demon dog and Sarah fell back onto the beach at how large he became and looked up at him with wide eyes. She was unable to move as he looked down at her eyes glowing red and his paws near her feet, he leaned his head down to her and sniffed her smelling her fear and them laid down in front of her. She didn't know what to do because of his size, she promised him that she wouldn't run from him but wanted to run now. She looked down his muzzle to his eyes and saw his eyes were looking sad, she moved to him and touched his nose lightly and he softly growled to her.

She was scared he was going to bite her, be she touched his nose again and stood up to walk down to his muzzle and then laid near his muzzle to hear him growl again, she was afraid she was doing this wrong when he pushed his head to the side sliding her to the side of his head near his ears. She got the idea and laid against the side of his head and laid against him and heard Sesshomaru growling softly and guessed that he was happy with where she was at and rubbed his fur softly. He felt more comfortable with her knowing she wouldn't run from his demon now and nuzzled to her hearing her giggle, he smiled the best he could and ended up with a big doggy grin and she scratched softly in his fur and felt her scratching slowing and guessed she was falling asleep. He nuzzled to her more an heard her yawn and her cuddle to him, they both feel asleep together and Sesshomaru stayed in his dog demon form to keep her warm threw the night.
