Pairing

: Sebastian/Kagome/Sesshoumaru/Grell

Summary

: He was a demon and it was natural that he ached to corrupt her purity so completely and thoroughly that she would never be able to flee the darkness and so corrupt her he did.

"How long?" she asked so softly that the taiyoukai had to strain his ears to hear it despite the fact she was in his arms.

His eyes closed and he buried his nose within her hair, "For as long as this one can remember."

She pulled away slightly and her lips pursed, "That means..." she paused looking at him dully, her cerulean hues filled with hurt but not because for him but rather for him. "That means you knew about the - "

Sesshoumaru interrupted her then, "About your previous lovers, yes. I have always known but I had been biding my time. I thought you would see someday but you are dreadfully blind."

The miko glared but merely said, "I am so sorry. Is it not a betrayal from me to you?"

Closing his eyes as though pained, his response was much quieter and slower in coming, "You truly were unaware, miko. Had you knowingly sought other company then you are correct. It would be a betrayal and any feelings I would have nullified immediately."

As he opened his eyes, Kagome cupped his cheek within her hand, "Where does this leave us, Sesshoumaru? I have thought about it yes, but I have never really viewed you in a romantic light."

Eyes hard he responded, "The demon - " he spat. " - will not love you. He is incapable. The reaper may love you but he does not have the same capacity to love as he is not truly alive, however, I can. You may not love me now, but one day, with time... you will."

"And what of Sebastian and Grell? I do like Grell. Sebastian was an... added bonus but I don't think that he will give up soon."

There was a light in the inu's eyes that Kagome did not completely like.

"Do they please you?" he queried.

Kagome nibbled her bottom lip and flushed, "I suppose they do."

Sesshoumaru nodded and stood, looking down at the miko with affection that she had never truly been able to see before, "Then we make them pack."

Curiously, Kagome only stared dumbfounded as she very slowly asked, "What do you mean make them pack?"

Wrinkling his nose he murmured displeased, "Pack, miko, but on my conditions."

"Conditions? What con - "

"Do you agree?"

"I mean yeah I su - "

"Then no more talking, miko, it is done."

Kagome frowned, "I don't even know what I agreed to!"

The taiyoukai shook his head and merely brought her lips into a kiss that left Kagome stunned.
