A/n: According to the reviews I got, everyone liked the chapter before this one.

Disclaimer: …. I own nothing…..

Kagome

I sat up in bed, groaning. I had a killer headache, and my body ached all over. I had a horrible dream, just simply horrible. I was chained up and beaten u—I looked down at my body and realized that my dream, wasn't a dream. I screamed a blood curdling scream that would've woken people in the Americas. It seemed almost instantly after my scream Rin woke up and started crying hysterically, she clung to me. Before I could utter a small word of comfort for the little girl, Sesshoumaru and about ten guards burst into the room, weapons raised, ready to kill. Sesshoumaru looked about the room and lowered his weapon, the guards taking this as their cue to leave filed out into the hall way. I was scared and wondering why the hell I was the way I was. Rin, still crying, tried to stop, but only succeeded in making more tears. Sesshoumaru strode over to Rin and picked her up, comforting her in a way I have never seen before, it was soooooo cute.

Sesshoumaru

That scream of Kagomes' had me worried. I know, if I didn't have Rin, I wouldn't have been worried what so ever, but alas, things change. Rin, she's like my daughter, I love her so, though, I will never say that out loud. She clung to me as if I was her lifeline, sobbing into my haori, clutching it tightly. I looked over at Kagome and the emotions on her face kept changing and changing, from confusion, anger, sadness, and indifference. I guess, over these past few weeks, I have grown to like Kagome, maybe even possibly love her. Kagome looked like she wanted to cry, but she didn't, she refused to let her tears fall.

Kagome

I felt like slapping myself again, here I was trying to hold back my tears, from what I don't know! In front of me stands the cold hearted demon of the west, never in a million centuries did I imagine that he would be cradling a human girl so fragile like, or even care about me, a person who once fought against him, by the side of his hated half brother. I guess the short time I have been in his presence is starting to make me feel a way I have never felt before, and it is strange. All this is minor, compared to what happened to Rin and I, I wish I could've stopped those bastards from hurting Rin. Sesshoumaru probably thinks I'm weak for not protecting myself and Rin. I glance at Sesshoumaru holding Rin, still, and I feel shameful, regretful, and sorrowful. I miss my family, all of my family, Souta, Mom, Grandpa, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, hell, maybe even InuYasha. Yet, I feel like Jaken, Rin, and Sesshoumaru are also my family, what am I going to do. I'm stuck between what to do, stay here, go to Miroku, Shippo, Sango and InuYasha, or just go back to the future.

At home there is at least one person who would understand me, here with Sesshoumaru; it seems no one does; with the Gang, only Sango understands me, but not too much. I need to get out of here, get air, and maybe my racing thoughts will settle. I slip off the bed I was on, and slip out of the room, taking one last glance at Sesshoumaru and Rin. As I step outside, my thoughts settle, and I feel better, but not much better. Behind me I hear someone walking towards me, I feel no threat, fore it is Sesshoumaru, what he wants, I don't know.

He comes up to my side, and looks forward, obviously, wanting to say something, but what I don't know.

"Kagome, it wasn't your fault," he seems to know what I'm thinking.

"I know, but I feel like it is my fault."

He stands there, as if contemplating on what to say, I wish he would say something to break the awkward silence, yet I wish he wouldn't say anything.

"I believe Kagome that I am –" he stops mid sentence, this has me curious, he never does that.

Suddenly, I feel an arm turn me so I'm now facing Sesshoumaru, he looks deep in my eyes it seems, I stare into him, getting loss in the gorgeous amber eyes of his. I watch as his lips seem to descend, down, down, toward mine. Before I know what is happening, Sesshoumaru is kissing me deeply, like I have never been kissed before. I'm shocked, and then I become terrified, not because of him, but because I'm scared of my own emotions.

I break away from him, and bolt into the forest, my destination unknown to even myself.

Sesshoumarus

I just couldn't say that I was falling for her, so I did the next best thing, kiss her. But, apparently she doesn't feel the same towards me, because she broke away and ran away from me. Usually I would've gone after her, but for some reason I feel I should let her be. Of course I feel rejected, yet it seems as if I was expecting it. I just stood in this same spot, staring at the place where Kagome disappeared through. I don't regret kissing her, and letting my feelings for her be exposed.

Kagomes

Finally I stopped, as I take in my surroundings, I realize I am back in the future, in my old bedroom. This place is like my safe haven. I can't go back to the Feudal Era. I'm too terrified to face my emotions, to face Sesshoumaru, to face any of it. I sit on my old bed, thinking. Thinking back on what happened since I had been gone. I killed Kikyou, the stupid dead clay pot, Kouga, the annoying wolf, and some other demons. I looked at my claws, then looked in the mirror, looking at this Animal I've Become.

A/n: Now, to a certain reviewer, yes I know Kagome does cry a lot in this fic, only because she isn't use to being a demon exactly. This is the last chapter by the way. Ooooohhh no you say, well, there will be a sequel! Ja Ne
