Absolute True Love
----------------------------
Kikyo woke up that morning to the sound of birds chirping. She found herself leaning up against Sesshomaru, who was still asleep. When he awoke, she knew that he would regret everything. They didn't do anything major, but a long make-out session that lasted until they fell asleep was something not so easily forgotten. She gently kissed him on the cheek and stood up, leaving him to sleep alone. "Goodbye... my love." She whiped away her tears as she ran off into the woods.
"Sesshomaru!" Rin called out from the camp site.
Sesshomaru's eyes opened at the sound of her voice. He looked around and found that Kikyo was gone. He remembered their make-out session the night before and his eyes widened. "Oh, no..."
Jakin and Rin came running over to him. "Sesshomaru! Why is Jakin not wanting to play with me?" Rin asked.
"Because I've had enough of you for two weeks!" Jakin shouted back. Then, he sighed with relief. "I'm just glad that everything is back to normal."
Sesshomaru stood up. "Where's Kikyo?"
Jakin shrugged. "I assume that she left."
"Well, we're going after her!"
Rin was confused. "Why?"
He looked at the two of them. "Because I love her!"
Jakin's jaw nearly dropped to the groun. "You didn't eat enough of the antidote last night!" He began to run back to the camp site. "I'll go and get some leftovers!"
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Jakin, I didn't need the antidote in the first place because I never ate Inuyasha's soup!"
o O o
Jakin marched away from them. "I am not interested in anything Inuyasha eats!"
Rin just shrugged. "More for me and Sesshomaru then." She reached into her pocket at took out two spoons. "Let's eat!"
Sesshomaru shook his head. "I'm not hungry, Rin. Besides, I know there's not enough for the two of us. You eat as much as like, okay?"
Run nodded. "Well, okay! If you insist!" She proceeded to gobble down every bite of the soup.
o O o
"That's right!" Rin exclaimed. "Jakin marched away before he could see that you didn't eat the soup!"
"Wait a minute!" Jakin exclaimed. "That means that... You really do love Kikyo!?"
Sesshomaru nodded. "With all my heart."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS!?" Jakin exclaimed.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "Because you tend to have a big mouth!" He took off running through the woods as fast as he could go. "You two stay here! I'm going after Kikyo!"
"Wait, Master Sesshomaru!" Jakin exclaimed. But Sesshomaru had already run too far off for them to catch up.
Rin just shrugged. "Oh, well... Hey, Jakin! Do you wanna play house?"
"NO!" Jaking exclaimed as he frantically shook his head.

Kikyo sadly walked down the dirt path, on her way to the next village. She decided to try her best to forget about Sesshomaru, as he would soon forget about her. If she were to ever pass him by, she wouldn't say a word to him. She would pretend not to care anymore than he did. But this still didn't stop the tears from falling. She just walked away from the man she really loved. She would be on the rebound for a long time to come. This was insane. Now, she had to tip-toe everywhere she went. She couldn't see Inuyasha because it would upset Kagome. She couldn't see Sesshomaru because it would be too uncomfortable.
Thank goodness she didn't have issues with Koga, or she would be in a real mess!
"Kikyo!" Sesshomaru's voice exclaimed.
Kikyo froze dead in her tracks. She turned around to find Sesshomaru staring back at her with the usual I-don't-care look on his face. She felt scared. What was he going to do? Then, he held out his arms, as if to catch her.
"Kikyo, I love you. I always have."
Her eyes widened as he continued.
"I've loved for ever since we first met, that day when you helped Rin. But I never knew how to tell you. After all, you're a free spirit, right? I knew that you wouldn't settle down with anyone so easily. So, when I saw the reaction that Rin was having to Inuyasha' soup, I realized that a love potion had been mixed in with it. I decided to pretend that I had eaten the soup as well, so that I could come and find you for help. Kikyo, I never ate the soup. I never needed the antidote. I meant it when I said that I loved you."
Kikyo's eyes filled with tears of joy as she ran into Seshsomaru's arms, falling in his embrace. "Oh, Sesshomaru!" She burried her face in his shoulder once more, letting her tears flow. Sesshomaru smiled, almost wanting to cry himself. Finally, Kikyo looked up at him with a smile. "I love you... I love you so much."
"I love you too, Kikyo." He kissed her on the lips and held her tight.
If you asked me to, I will give my world to you, baby. I need you now.
Ask me to, and I'll do anything for you baby.
If you asked me to, I'll let you in my life forever.
All you gotta do is ask me to.
