AN: I am so completely and truly sorry for not updating when I said I would. My mouse went crazy and I was unable to use my computer for several days… I finally got a mouse just last night and I had a homework assignment I had to type up. It's no excuse, but it is for me sorry lol. I will finish this how I originally planned to. Hopefully you all forgive me. Review!

Kagome's POV

I went completely brain dead as I watched his nude form step out of the water next to me. The water dripping off of his toned, fit body was too much. I couldn't seem able to focus on much, because well… he was one hot demon!

"Kill me now…" I whispered without thinking.

"What was that Ka-go-Me?" Sesshomaru asked with a juicy little smirk on his lips.

Why does he have to be so dang perfect? Nobody is perfect! How… wrong is that?

I watched as he crept over to me nice and slow, all sexy like. I stood up and didn't even know what happened next.

Sesshomaru's POV

I grabbed her and held her VERY close to my body as I kissed her demandingly on her lips. I wanted her so much that it was killing me. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest and I couldn't slow it down to save myself right now. I was physically shaking, as if I was new to this type of thing.

I've had sex many times with women, so what was so different with this one?

Let's see… she actually has a BRAIN! Did any of those MANY women have brains to call their own? NO! They did as you said, this little minx would claw you to death if you tried to tell her what to do and you know it… Although that could be fun…

Good lord why did I have to be stuck with you?!

I ask my self the same thing all the time… It's such a sad little life, but she's…. Our mate that's what she is and she'll give us pups and we'll be happily mated for all eternity.

Wait what? Pups? Mated for all eternity?

Oh now you get thinking of the long term effects of tonight… hehe you're so much stupider than they believe.

Pups!

Yeah you know the birds and the bees? The man puts his 'thingy' into the woman's 'thingy' and then nine months later POP goes the Wesel.

Pop goes the… WTF!

Get it… Pop… Poppa Sesshomaru! OMG that would be FUNNY to see.

Pop…

I can see it now the little brats pulling our long hair and trying to rip it all out. Them biting us and whacking us over the head. Pinching and poking. All the 'why, why, why'. All the piggyback rides as they use our hair as reins. Hmm…

Pups… would be sweet and kind. They would listen to their mother. They would ask questions and be curious about everything. They would be smarter than the rest and beautiful beings. Just like their mother…

It would be perfect huh? A family and a home with a wife and children running about.

Is our life really that empty?

Yeah… It is. Kagome has always been the one for us. Yet we wasted time watching her with Inuyasha, while all along she could have been having our pups and playing house with us.

"Sesshomaru? What's the problem?" Kagome asked as she looked into my sad eyes.

I did the only thing I could think to do. I held her in my arms and as tears fell down my cheeks I whispered to her, "Don't ever go away. I wouldn't be able to bare it if you left me. I love you Kagome."

I hadn't realized that's what I was going to say and when I heard in my own mind those words I froze unsure of what her reaction would be.

Kagome's POV

He's actually holding me and crying into my shoulder and telling me he loves me and to never leave him?

"What?" I couldn't even finish my question.

Sesshomaru looked up at me with no tears in sight, which would have been interesting and he just looked at me. He let me see everything in his eyes for the very first time.

"I love you Kagome. I wouldn't even think of hurting you. I couldn't live with myself if I did. I want you to stay with me… not for tonight, but always." He said as he stared at me as if he were waiting for something.

"I…I…"

Sesshomaru's whole face shut down and I saw hurt flash across it right before his mask went into place. "It's okay Kagome, I understand. I'm the rebound guy."

Sesshomaru's POV

I couldn't believe I had been so naive. I should have known that she would never learn to love me. She wouldn't even give me a chance.

I turned to leave because I was no longer needed. Not by Kagome or anyone else for that matter.

"Wait!" Kagome shouted which made me stop for some reason. There was desperation in her voice that I never heard before.

She wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my back.

"Don't go. Stay with me please. You're not a rebound guy, you're THE guy… I love you too and I always have, but I tried to keep making it work with Inuyasha even though it was you that I dreamed about at night and you that I wanted to touch me all those nights. It was always YOU that I thought about. There was only you for me…"

I couldn't move as those words rung in my mind.
