Kagome was a loss for words to say the least as she just stared blankly at the one demon she always had a little crush on for a few months now. Yeah she knew how she felt for him but didn't chance it and left it alone. Not once did she ever even try to believe he felt the same way.

Though he looked calm and collected on the outside, on the inside he was a mess. He hoped to Kami he didn't ruin his chances with her because of this. She was just staring at him blankly. Sesshomaru wasn't the type to run but right now he was thinking on how he could go back in time and stop himself from doing this.

Kagome was taken from her thought by the sound of Sesshomarus' soft smooth velvet voice.

"Kagome" he said gently shaking her shoulders.

"Huh what" was her brilliant answer.

"I said are you okay" he said with a chuckle seeing her face heat up.

"Um yea I'm fine just shocked" she said shyly.

This is one of the many things he loved about her. She is one of the most fierce warriors he every fought with and most feared by anyone who ticks her off but yet she is shy when he is near like this.

"I never thought you would care for a human that way" she said trying to turn away but he made sure she faced him.

He couldn't blame her for the doubts she had against him. He was well known not only for his power and strength but his utter distaste for humans, but somehow along the way this one little human woman in his arms changed his mind. Yes she is human but she is the strongest and most beautiful human he has ever laid eyes upon. Not even the most beautiful demoness can compete with her.

"That my little miko is partly true" he said softly gazing into the beautiful blue eyes "it is true that I do dislike humans but there are a few exceptions to this theory. I do not dislike you in any way that much is obvious" he chuckled when her face got a little redder.

"I do not dislike Rin in the least. She is part of my pack and I care for and protect her like a father"

She was completely blown away when he admitted how he saw Rin. She knew he loves and care for her like a father cares for his daughter but never had he actually said it.

"I do not dislike the monk nor slayer, they tolerable" he finished. He finally realized that he still had in his arms so he brought her closer to him as he nuzzled her cheek with his nose.

"What do you say Kagome" he whispered huskily making her shiver "are you willing to give this Sesshomaru a chance to prove he is worthy of holding your heart" he asked gently.

He truly cares for the miko in many ways. Not many can keep an intelligent conversation with him as she does. He was never the one for senseless and idle chatter but on many occasions he found himself talking to the miko about things that really didn't hold any significance. She would trick him into telling her about his day and other irrelevant things. She is a clever one which made all the more interesting. You never know what she was going to do next.

"Sesshomaru" she finally spoke up. She knew he was honorable and would never hurt her like Inuyasha did but for some reason there was something telling her maybe she isn't worthy of him.

She has no idea how to act like a queen. She always spoke her mind and gave her opinions. Yea she had manners and can act like one but she loves who she is and could never change. For once she wants someone who loves her for her and not try to change her. She was a happy but tough wild free spirit.

"I don't know if that is a good idea" she said with a hint of sadness.

He removed himself from her neck but kept her in his arms.

"And why not" he said calmly but she heard a little anger and sadness.

'Does she really think I am anything like that half brained fool' he thought a little insulted.

"I don't think I'm good enough to be with you" she said softly not looking at him "I'm more of the fun free spirited and opinionated type. I don't know how to keep quiet because I always speak my mind. I don't know how to be sophisticated and hate the thought of anyone trying to change me. I like who I am. I love my personality and love speaking my mind. I don't want anyone trying to change me anymore"

When she finished he let her words process in his mind.

"Kagome" he said. He knew she was listening but didn't look at him "Kagome please look at me" he asked gently. He saw her raise her head slowly and saw unshed tears starting to build up.

The sight of seeing this strong and wonderful woman cry made his heart ache.

"Kagome I do not wish to change you in any way. I love how you love life, I love how you speak your mind and not let anyone control you. Yes what you say is true that are stubborn, pig headed, a little dense at times…" he was topped when he heard growling.

'Hmm' he thought amused. He definitely knows how to get under skin 'I think she has been around dogs to much'

"Hey don't call me dense, I never said any of that" she pouted with a red face. He loves getting her like this. It was just a tempting sight seeing her glare up at him while her lower lip trembled.

"But it is true" he said amused. He saw she was about to snap so he silenced her with a kiss. It was soft sweet but short. He brushed his lips against hers then pulled away slowly.

"But you are beautiful, loving, kind, intelligent, clever and so much more. I would never want you to change. No matter what you do or what you say you always seem to intrigue me. You aren't the most predictable so I find myself waiting to see what you'll do next" he admitted "you are a mystery that I can never solve Kagome Higarashi and I never want that to change. I will destroy anyone who dares defy me and say you aren't good enough because the truth is you're perfect"

By now he saw the tears she was trying to hold back start to slip away and a soft small smile graced her lips.

"Do you really mean it" she asked softly. She knew he did because he was never the one to lie but she wanted to hear it.

"I do" he said softly nuzzling her cheek with his nose.

"Then yes" she sighed contently "I will love it if you were to court me"

"And I am honored that you let me" he kissed her again while her arms slipped out of his grip as one looped lazily around his neck and the other ran gently through his soft silky hair.

"We should probably get ready" she said breathlessly after they finally pulled away.

"Agreed" but he didn't make any move indicating he would leave so soon.

"Sesshomaru" she giggled when his tail tickled her foot.

He loved her voice and he loved her laugh. It was so happy and carefree.

He was about to kiss her again.

"SESSHOMARU" an angry voice yelled through the door.

'Inuyasha' he thought with hate.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY KAGOMES ROOM"
