The stuffed dog laid restlessly on top of my dresser. We got home late last night, the kids were too tired to take baths and I was too tired to try to make them. I laid there for minutes staring at the stuffed dog Sesshomaru had given me last night. I couldn't help but to smile at the memory of him giving it to me.

I turned over to lie on my back. It was near noon already. I signed and sat up in bed, rubbing the feebleness out of my eyes with the back of my hands. I looked down to see that I had slept in my clothes from yesterday. "Great." I mumbled getting out from under the covers to put on some clean clothes.

I heard two children's laughter as I walked down my stairs. Rin and Souta were watching a cartoon. "Where is Sesshomaru?" I asked

"I think he went outside." Souta answered keeping his attention on the screen.

I went out the backdoor searching for him, but he was not there. "Sesshomaru?" I called out. I heard the Bone Eaters Well shrine door open a few seconds after. It was Sesshomaru. He didn't answer, only stood there in the entrance looking at me with his normal bored expression.

"What are you doing?" I asked once I was in a speaking range of him.

"Nothing." He turned back around and went down the stairs. I followed.

"Still no luck, huh?"

He didn't answer. He just stared straight ahead.

Then it struck me. What will happen to us once he goes back home? Will it turn out to be like it was before all this had happened? Will he still be my friend, or will he just ignore me all in all? Not even a glance towards my way? It felt like someone had ripped out my heart and dropped it on the ground without a care. But why should I feel this way? I never cared about if he ever noticed me or not before. So why now? Yeah he's different than what I had imagined, but he's still the same old Sesshomaru. Isn't he?

"So. What are you going to do when you and Rin get back home?"

"I'm not taking Rin. I've told you this before."

"You can't just leave her here. She belongs with you."

"Humans don't belong with Demons. She belongs in a human world were she will be safe from any unnecessary danger." At that he turned around and left the shrine.

"Sesshomaru." I called after him. "She needs you. And I know you need her." I said catching up with him.

He stopped walking to look at me. "I'm not always there to protect her-"

"But at least she knows you'll always be there for her. If you leave her here you will destroy the relationship between you two." I had cut him off.

"I'd rather have that than to knowing one day she will die from my hands."

"Sesshomaru.. You can't just leave her here."

"Who is to tell me what I can and cannot do? It would be wise to leave this alone for now." His voice started to get edgy. I knew he was getting upset with me, so I dropped it for now.

He started walking only to stop to look at the Sacred Tree. "Is this where..?" He left the sentence hanging.

"Where Inuyasha was bound to? Yes. It was also the first time I meat him."

"What do you see in my brother?" He spoke after a few moments of silence.

"Excuse me?" It took me by surprise. I never would have thought he would be asking something of this state.

"I believe you heard me clearly."

"Uh, well I know that he'll always be there to save me. He might be rude at times and gets on my nerves, but he somehow always makes up for it and makes me smile."

"The fact that he's a half demon has nothing to do with it?"

"Of course it doesn't. I wouldn't care if he were a full demon or human. Inuyasha is Inuyasha, and not just because he's a half demon." I could feel my face getting hot as I talked about Inuyasha.

"Heh." He started walking once more, but slower than usual.

"Can I ask you something, Sesshomaru?" I asked, but did not go after him. He stopped and turned around to look at me. His eyes locked onto mine once again. "Um.. What will happen? You know, between us once you go back home?"

"What do you want to happen?" He spoke in a low voice, making it hard to make out what he had asked.

"Well, I was hoping we could be friends. I don't want to go back just for you to ignore me and act like nothing has ever happened between us."

He slowly began to walk towards me, stopping a few feet away. "Nothing has happened between us."

"Well, yeah, but.. I mean-" I wasn't sure what I was trying to say. I decided to not try to say something, I might end up embarrassing myself.

"Unless." I heard him say under his breath as he took another step towards, invading my own personal space.

It was as if he didn't want to kiss me at first. His lips were hard against mine, but softened out as he put his arms around my waist and pulled me into his embrace. His sweet kiss sent shivers up and down my whole body, giving me the feeling to faint.

I pressed myself up against his body as much as I could, and I could feel his arms tightening around my waist more. A soft moan escaped from his chest as I began to kiss him back.

It was different than kissing Inuyasha. With Inuyasha I felt unsure and scared. With Sesshomaru I felt scared, kissing a full fledge Demon Lord can have that affect. But it wasn't an unsure scared. I felt safe in his embrace. I felt as if I belonged here in his arms as he held onto me like this.

"Ka-go-me?" I heard a familiar voice that did not come out of the one I was kissing. My stomach dropped. I already knew who it was before I had the chance to open my eyes. I felt Sesshomaru's lips apart from mine as he straightened up, but did not loosen his grip around my waist, making it impossible for me to turn around and match the voice with a face.

"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru had spoke.

-Yeah, very short chapter, sorry. And sorry for the very very late update! My computer broke and I move back down to Arizona for school. So glad my brother is a computer nerd :P.
