Am I dead? Is this what death feels like? A peaceful darkness that my soul will rest in for eternity? But it's lonely, all I have is my thoughts to keep me compa-
"Sessho...?" Someone's calling me? Sesshomaru-sama. Wake up already. You're being a little overdramatic, don't you think?" Sesshomaru bolted upright in his bed, wanting to know who had accused him of being "overdramatic." My bed? He surveyed the room and realized who had been speaking to him. "Rin?!" he groaned and glanced down at the gaping wound that zigzagged from his left shoulder down to his right hip. "How are you here. Where did you come from?" he asked, the pain clouding his speech. "I'm glad you are awake." she smiled and placed a hand over his. "Take good care of her." Then she was gone. He jumped out of bed and then quickly regretted it. "Damn." he grunted, rubbing at his shoulder. He opened his door quietly and stealthily made his way down the hallway. "What the hell's going on?" he muttered to himself. "Sesshomaru-sama, you should not be out of bed!" Hikaru and Kaoru marched towards him in unison, a disappointing look on their faces. "I don't know who gave you the orders to look at me like that, but you might want to adjust it." he ordered. They smiled devilishly. "We must get you back to bed immediately," Hikaru began. "before Kagome-san gets angry." "What?" "Frankly, Sesshomaru-sama," "She scares us more than you!" Sesshomaru smiled softly. The twin guards froze. "Sesshomaru-sama is smiling." they whispered. "Sesshomaru-sama is smiling!" They shouted gleefully. Cheering could be heard throughout the castle as more servants began to pass it along. "Silence." Sesshomaru demanded, embarrassed. "A door slowly creaked open down the hall. Kagome appeared, rubbing her eyes sleepily, her long white hair dangling messily around her knees. "Sesshomaru...you smiled..without me?" she asked innocently, sleepiness still lacing her voice. "She's so cute!" Hikaru and Kaoru cheered together. "Shutup." Sesshomaru mumbled. Kagome walked over to them and lazily swiped her bangs from her eyes, though they fluttered straight back to their original position. "Hikaru, Kaoru?" "Yes?" they answered together. She gazed at them and gave them a big smile. "If you ever wake up again, I will personally rip off your fingernails one by one and feed them to you, while you sit naked in the middle of the courtyard for everyone to watch your humiliation." she giggled evilly. They stared openmouthed at her and Sesshomaru laughed. They turned and ran, yelling "Sesshomaru-sama is laughing!"
Kagome turned back around to face Sesshomaru, the smile disappearing from her face. "You've been asleep for a long time, Sesshomaru." she said defensively. "I was worried." He pushed her hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry." he whispered as he brought his face closer to hers. "I know how much you hate waiting...So do I." he smiled as he pressed his lips to her soft ones. He pulled away for one second. "I love you, Ka-go-me." He kissed her once more. "Prove it." she teased. "Give me the rest of our lives to prove it." he requested. She gazed up at him, her one blue and one purple eye shining brightly. She smiled and nodded.
"Be prepared for me to shower you in kisses." he whispered as they lie in the dark. Thunder rolled in the distance. "I've always loved the rain..."
