Secrets Revealed
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I've had other things that needed to be done first. As for my short chapters…I have no working computer at home, therefore my chapters are what I can type up in the few minutes between classes…wryly not that I get those few minutes half the time…Now, I need help. How in tarnation do I make something bold or italic? I KNOW how but how do I end it? (So that it is not bold or italic when I don't want it to be?) If anyone can help, let me know, please! Tapadh leat.
And so we go…

Secrets Revealed
Having dismissed the wolf, Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to the girl-woman- in his arms. Really wanting to kisses her a again, he leaned forward, scanning her face for any sign of rejection, absently noting that her eyes had gone from a deep and intense blue to a deep grey with amber streaks. Having found none he brushed his lips against hers.
"He's still here. I can sense him," she whispered against his lips.
He growled quietly in the back of his throat, angry at the interruption. He nibbled her lips once more with the promise of more to come. Unwillingly he pulled away from the miko's – 'Kami! Why didn't I notice that before?'-- warm mouth and slowly raised his head. He looked at the wolf. And blinked. Before he blinked his eyes were a golden amber and after they were crimson. His markings deepened in color and became jagged as he let his youkai take over. He bared his elongated fangs and flexed his hand. The wolf got the message, he left the same way he came. Quietly and in one piece. As soon as the wolf was gone Kagome finally allowed her knees to turn to jelly. She collapsed against Sesshoumaru's chest. He was the only reason she was still up and not on the floor.
"Go raimh maith agat," she said. A tear slid down her cheek and landed on his hand, followed by another. She couldn't help herself, she wept. More from the knowledge that she had come close to not walking out of there, than from relief. She felt two clawed hands cupping her face, raising it up. She opened her eyes and looked at who she now knew was the DaiYoukai of the West and Inuyasha's half brother.
Sesshoumaru gently cupped the miko's face in his hands and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs. "Tá failte romhat," he replied. Her still grey eyes widened in surprise, making him gasp at how beautiful she was with her lashes clustered and soaked from her tears and her eyes shining with the unshed ones. Before he could stop himself, he found himself saying "Ta tu go halainn." You are beautiful.
"You speak Gaelic." 'Smart. Stating the obvious, as usual.'
"Yes. I make it a point of learning the language of the country in which I live. Now if I may ask, what did the wolf mean when he said 'to get what you promised me?'"
She sighed. "He seems to think that I promised to have sex with him. Something I would never do. I told him that I wasn't like that. He called me a whore and said that if I would fuck a teacher that I would fuck anyone-," she started crying again,"- it's not what he thinks or what anyone else thinks…"
He kissed one eye closed and then the other and pulled her close stroking her hair.
"…" She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She really wanted to explain, 'He did come to my rescue and pretend to be my boyfriend', but she couldn't get the words out.
Sensing this Sesshoumaru said, "Lower the walls with which you use to keep others of my kind from knowing your thoughts and just think what you want to tell me."
She nodded and closed her eyes. When she opened them again her eyes were blue, the amber streaks remained. She nodded. It was time. Sesshoumaru slowly reached out with his mind and touched hers.
'Can you hear me?'
'Yes.'
'It happened two years ago. I had stayed after school to finish the portrait I was working on. I had just finished detailing the lips when Naraku Onigumo, my history teacher, came in.' As she proceeded to tell him about her rape, the threat and the way it was spread around the school, the rumor being that it was a mutual act, Sesshoumaru had to fight the urge to destroy something. Instead he just held her close.
'Kami! And here I was trying to devour her in one bite! She must think I am as lecherous as that monk who hangs out with that whelp of a half-breed!'
She burst out laughing. He had forgotten that she could still hear his thoughts. "You mean Miroko? And no, I don't think you are leacherous. As for trying to devour me…" her eyes darkened with what could only be lust and sparkled with mischief. She rose up on to her toes and offered her lips. 'Was it just me or did that last kiss have the promise of more?'
"Hells…," was all he said before his lips crashed down on hers.
