Heyy gals and guys! It's been a couple of days since my last update, sorry about that! I will persevere and finish this story for the love of Sesshomaru and Kagome! I so wish I could post a picture of how I look on here because my blue hair is beasting it today. Anyways, I've gotten very few reviews, and I'd like if you could leave maybe one comment to tell me how I'm doing whether it be my writing style or if the characters are in or out of character. Just one tiny comment is all I'm asking for. I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday, or Friday depending what country you're in, and enjoy my story!

Chapter 11

Sesshomaru walked back into their camp just as everyone was sitting down around the glowing fire to eat. He noticed now that it was dark out. How had he not noticed before? 'The miko must really be getting to me if I cannot even pay attention to my surroundings.' He mused. Carrying the unconscious miko into the camp, he sat down with her in his lap. Everyone, upon noticing their return, sat gaping at the scene they created. "Oy! What the hell do ya think you're doin'?! Why are you holding her in your arms like…" Inuyasha stopped speaking and stood gaping in confusion. Miroku was the first to notice what Inuyasha was looking at and his eyes went wide. "You have both of your arms? But how?" Sesshomaru just merely smirked. "It seems that the miko is far more powerful than you all believe her to be." "You mean Kagome did that to ya? There's no way in hell!" Inuyasha spat. "I assure you, little brother, she did in fact grant me my arm back which you so kindly took from me. It seems I am in debt to her." Everyone just stared in awe except for Inuyasha who was busy fuming. "Inuyasha, do you really think that it just appeared there by accident? Give Kagome some credit for once." Sango stated as she ate her Ramen that Kagome had laid out for them before leaving. "Feh, whatever." Inuyasha said as he jumped into a tree and sat down crossing his arms into his haori. Sesshomaru closed his eyes sighing softly listening to Kagome's slow breathing.

Everything was dark. 'What happened?' Kagome thought groggily as she finally came out of unconsciousness. Remembering back, she recalled sparring and training with Sesshomaru, but something else had happened. 'Wait! I regrew his arm!' She thought excitedly. She opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She was quite comfortable if she had to say so herself. She looked up and was met with golden amber eyes. "It seems you have awakened. Are you well?" Sesshomaru asked giving her a small smile. Kagome just gaped at him and then remembered what happened in the field. She shot up excitedly and yanked Sesshomaru's left arm into her lap and pulled up his sleeve rather startling him. She glanced at his arm and then back at him in a look of pure awe. "Y-You mean I did this..?" She asked timidly. "You do not remember?" He asked surprised. "Oh no, I remember. I just…I didn't realize…" "That you were capable?" He finished for her. "I really did it! Good Kami!" She exclaimed happily. "Hn, indeed. This Sesshomaru owes you a great debt, little one." Kagome blushed at his new nickname for her. It was then that she noticed that she was nestled in his lap and that he had one arm draped around her with his hand resting at her wait. Blushing brighter Kagome looked up at him again. "U-Um you can let me up if you'd like." She said softly pushing to stand up out of his lap. Sesshomaru tightened his hold on her and smirked. "No, miko. You are still weak from expending so much energy. You should rest. You are not bothering this Sesshomaru." He brought his left arm over and draped it over her middle to prove his point. He sniffed the air lightly and noticed that she was aroused at what he had done. Kagome just stared at him too confused to form coherent thoughts. 'Did he just…he doesn't want me to leave…? He keeps staring at me…but…I'm human so surely I have this all wrong. He couldn't possibly have feelings for me or even be attracted to me…could he? No, he's probably just being nice since I gave him his arm back. Either way, I'm enjoying this so I'll just stay here.' "Okay, but if you want me to get up later just tell me." Kagome said lowering her gaze to her lap. Sesshomaru lifted her chin with one hand bringing her gaze to his. "Miko, rest." Kagome sighed and leaned against his chest and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru bent his head and softly inhaled the scent of her hair. 'She smells so good. How is it that a human can smell so enticing to this Sesshomaru? All humans whom I have come across smell so terrible that it threatens my sense to overload. Yet this woman smells of Jasmine.' He thought confusedly before closing his eyes. He wasn't going to rest tonight, but merely use his sense to keep watch for danger. He wanted to devote all of his attention to the small woman nestled in his lap.

Kagome stared up into beautiful amber orbs as they drew closer to her. Feeling a soft brush on her lips, she kissed him back slowly. He slid his tongue along the bottom of her lip asking for entrance and she gasped at the sensation. He took no time in tasting her. Backing her up against a wall, he sped up his pace as he kissed her. Bringing his right hand up to the nape of her neck, he grabbed the back of her hair lightly and tilted her head to the side so he could get better access. He brought his other arm to her waist and pulled her flush against him making her moan into his mouth. That's when she felt it; a hardness at her hip. She gasped loudly at the realization and brought her arms up and around his neck as she laced her fingers through his silver hair. He took his time plundering her mouth and brought her hips roughly against his own making her moan some more. He left her mouth and proceeded to trail kisses down her jaw and then to her neck where he nipped slightly. Kagome was in heaven. She obviously had to have done something great in her past life for the Kami's to grant her this. "S-Seshomaru" She gasped lightly when she felt his fangs at her neck. Smirking against her skin he trailed lower and pulled her shirt to the side to suck on her shoulder. He ground his hips against her continuously as she moaned in response. "P-P-Please…Sesshomaru…" All thoughts were jumbled as he assaulted her neck with his mouth. Sesshomaru looked up into her now half closed hazy eyes. "We must not get carried away, little one." He said taking in the heady scent of her arousal. Kagome pouted at his statement, one she'd heard many times. "I know…we have to wait until we're mated. It's just so hard!" She exclaimed disappointed. "Hn, yes. But think of how much better it will be if we wait. It will not be long, my love. Do not fret." He said smiling down at her.

Sesshomaru's eyes shot opened. 'Did she just moan and whisper my name?' He thought confused. That's when he smelled it. The air around them was thick with the smell of her arousal and her face was flushed. 'Good Kami, please don't let me lose control over this onna.' He prayed closing his eyes. Kagome shot out of her seating position panting and sweating lightly. 'These dreams are going to be the death of me!' She thought panicking. 'They're getting more intense now…' Looking up she noticed that Sesshomaru's eyes were still closed. She sighed thanking every Kami that he hadn't noticed, when he opened his eyes and stared at her. She took back her thanks as she stared at his eyes, which now had a ring of red around them. Sesshomaru on the other hand was fighting for control of his beast. He mustn't scare her. Breathing in and out through his nose, he felt his eyes return to their natural golden color. Kagome stared in shock. "S-Sesshomaru…are you okay?" She asked softly, slightly scared. "Do not worry yourself, miko. This Sesshomaru is fine. You should go back to sleep, and this time, try to have a dream that does not affect me so much." Kagome just gasped. Had he really said that? 'Oh Kami…now this is going to be awkward…'
