Phew, that last chapter was amazing! Who knew Sesshomaru could speak so much in one sitting! I'm sorry for the late chapter, I've been really busy and I just started my second fanfiction called "Reality Is Not As It Always Seems". It's going REALLY good so far and the plot is amazing. There will be many chapters to it so now my time is split. If you want to read it, please feel free too. This one is about Sesshomaru and my own original character, but it's still really good. There's much drama, adventure, and romance. (:

Chapter 21

Tears made their way down her face as she stared for a minute in shock. Never before had she heard him be so open or speak so much. He had just poured his heart out to her and shocked her beyond words. She didn't know what to do with all the information he had just given her. He loved her, really loved her. Sesshomaru, the one man that she could count on, loved her so passionately and with such deep feeling and emotion. The emotions in which he felt for her mirrored her own and knowing that made her feel so much better about herself; to know that someone returned her emotions. Throwing herself at him, she landed in his lap with her arms around his neck. "Y-You really mean all of that? Every part?" She said through hiccups. Sesshomaru just smiled down at her. "Indeed I do, my love. Every part was meant. You should know that I am nothing but honest." He said putting his arms around her. My love, Kagome smiled at the new term which he had just bestowed upon her.

Kagome sat up straighter and looked him in the eyes. "Thank you." She smiled. "Whatever for?" Sesshomaru asked her curiously. "Because…for the first time someone else mirrors my own feelings. I don't feel alone anymore. My feelings aren't in vain, and that in itself makes me happier than anything in the world. I never knew I could feel this way; to love so passionately. If anyone had told me that I would have fallen in love with you, when I first met you, I would have laughed at them." She said grinning at him. "You would have? Well I for one would have killed them if they had told me the same about you. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with it, but I have and telling you has lifted a weight from my shoulders." He replied smoothing his hand over her back. Kagome laid her head on his shoulder deep in thought. "What is it that you are thinking about, little one?" Sesshomaru asked her. "Just everything that I've been through that's gotten me to this point. I've been through so much heartbreak over the years. I've been compared to ever since I entered the feudal era, and it always seemed like I wasn't good enough. But it's funny, because my feelings for him, Inuyasha, are nothing compared to what I feel for you." She answered him, looking up and smiling. "You have brought up my confidence in merely believing in me; believing that I was stronger than I thought I was. You taught me what I needed to know. You were kind to me and stood up for me and you saved me several times. You never left my side once even when I walked away. You were there when no one else was and for that my love has grown stronger for you. So that is why I thank you." She finished looking down in her lap blushing. "You need not thank me. It is what a true gentleman does for a lady that he so adamantly admires. You are beautiful, courageous, and smart, and you deserve the best. And seeing as I am clearly the best, you need not worry." He answered her smirking and laughed when she rolled her eyes at his last statement. "Yeah I guess you're right. You are the best; the best demon and I'm the best human." She said winking at him and then leaned up to kiss his cheek. Sesshomaru turned his head in time and caught her mouth with his own bringing his right hand up behind her head to support her. Kagome gasped at the sudden change but closed her eyes revelling in the feeling she got when like this with him. Opening his mouth he slowly dragged his tongue across her bottom lip begging for entrance to which she moaned softly and complied. Moving his hand from behind her head he picked her up by her waist and sat her so that she was straddling his lap. Kagome gasped loudly at the change in their positions and Sesshomaru used this as an advantage to push his tongue into her mouth brushing up against her own. Smelling her arousal he growled low in his throat and began kissing across her chin to her neck. Kagome was panting low as he moved away from her mouth in a different pursuit. Holding onto his shoulders she leaned her head to the side while he kissed the left side of her neck. Moaning she leaned further into him as he moved his hands from her waist to her bottom and brought her roughly against him. Kagome moaned loudly upon the contact and gasped when she felt his hardness against her most intimate spot. Sesshomaru nipped lightly at her neck and ground her against him causing his to growl. "We should stop before I take you right here." He spoke up hoarsely. "O-Okay, you're right." Kagome said panting, her head reeling from all the emotions and arousal. She couldn't think clearly so she was glad that he had mentioned it first. Sesshomaru moved from her neck and stared down at her blushing face. "We should get you home before your mother worries." He said smiling softly at her. "Yeah, because I definitely haven't been in the feudal era for 6 months. I think she'd be okay." Kagome said laughing. "Hn, be that as it may, it is late." He said chuckling. "Okay, fine. I am pretty tired." She said standing up using his shoulders as support. "Silly little human. If I had known that our previous activity would have made you so tired, I would have moved us to a more comfortable place, say my room." He said smirking at her now bright red face.

They pulled up to her house and walked up to the front door and stopped. "Will I see you soon?" Kagome asked him hoping he'd say yes. "Of course. Shall I pick you up at 1:00 for lunch tomorrow?" He asked her. "Yes! That'd be perfect." Kagome said grinning. "Then it's a date." He said pulling her in for a hug and bending down to chastely kiss her on the lips before pulling away an inch. "Goodnight, my love. I shall see you soon." He whispered across her lips.
