Kagome yawned, and a dazed and slightly jaded Sesshomaru followed her down the hall. He sighed as he watched her heap a mound of food onto her plate, and was glad when she finally sat down to consume her food. Then, the questions began.

"What in the three worlds happened to you?"

Kagome brought her cup of tea to her lips, sipping delicately before deigning to respond to the only slightly frazzled Sesshomaru. He was torn, torn between being mad that she was so calm about this, elated that his beloved Kagome was okay, and tempted to very nonchalantly carry her back to his room and have his way with the little minx.

"Okay, so when your beast fumbled through my brain and made me realize that I had a relationship with that second part of me like you have with him…" He couldn't help it; he zoned out and stared at her plump, beautiful lips as she was talking, almost none of her words registering in his mind. He forced his eyes back to hers, intent on focusing on the words that she was saying.

"So when I first started having dreams about this entity, they explained that I was… everything was how they put it. I didn't really understand then, but I think I do now. Do you remember Ken?"

At the sound of the flame golem's name, he couldn't stifle the growl that tumbled from his lips. Why was she talking about the pest? He just wanted his answers. Was that too much to ask?

"Well, he and his people are part of the elements. Earth, fire, air, water, et cetera, you know the story, right? Well, it was explained to me that I am the composition of the elements, youkai, half demons, humans, and Kami. I still don't fully understand all of this, but I exhibit traits of all of this stuff depending upon how I am aligned to them: that is why I look different, and why I have the wings, and why I sprouted a bunch of plants and a stream in your room. I guess. Still kind of foggy on the whole deal, actually…"

She paused here to snag a piece of meat from her plate, popping it into her mouth and chewing. Why was she taking so long to chew? She can't just pause there!

"Woman, as much as your nutrition is important, this Sesshomaru requests that you refrain from consuming anything else until you have finished your explanation," He ground out testily, shifting minutely in his seat.

"Oh, calm down Sesshomaru! Jeeze, excuse a girl for trying to eat after being down and out. What was I saying?" She couldn't help it; it was so fun to mess with Sesshomaru. Only after a sharp growl from him did she bother to talk again.

"Oh Sesshy-kun, why so serious? Fine, I guess. Well, the change caused me to undergo changes I wasn't fully prepared for, but I was told that I will be okay. I will need time to my new body, new parts, and new features, but in general I am still the same old Kagome. Except for when little miss high and mighty is behind the wheel, cause then I am not quite Kagome-"

"Wait just one second; what wheel are you talking about Kagome, and who is 'little miss high and mighty'?"

Kagome waved her hand dismissively,"She is my other half, I guess. Very prim and proper. Not much fun. Doesn't have a sense of humor. You'll know her when you see her… May I eat now, Sesshy-kun?" Kagome smiled, staring at a delectable looking apple, ripe and red and absolutely bursting in yummy apple-y juices-

"Kagome, focus. You keep on getting distracted. Now, if you will look at me instead of that apple, I would like for you to answer the rest of my questions. What exactly do you mean when you say you are like Ken?"

She sighed, hungry and edging towards cranky. "I told you already! Ken is an elemental golem, and basically that is what I am too. Because 'elemental' hints at the basics for everything, that is the basis for my new composition. I am fire, wind, water, and earth first, human, demon, and hybrid second. Now I know you probably have more questions, but blast it all, I'm hungry! I can hear my stomach rumbling, so I know you can too, mister super ears. Now… if you don't mind, I am going to eat now, okay?" She didn't wait for his response, which would have been a very flat and a very impatient "no that is not okay, Kagome," and instead grabbed the apple and bit into it, a very happy, very enticing moan of absolute taste-bud-pleasure rolling out of her.

He couldn't help it. He lost his sense of focus. What was he talking about? His eyes went back to her pink lips, a shiver of anticipation rolling through him as he watched her devour the food on her plate like a half starved animal. He was half tempted to go and get her another plate of food, because he couldn't very well stare at her when she didn't have a distraction. It was below himself to be the one to diverge from what his intention was in order to initiate hormone induced rutting.

Rutting sounds nice right about now… What was it that we were supposed to be asking her?

I don't quite remember, but I know that it has nothing to do with rutting. Dear Kami above she's lovely.

I know! Wouldn't it be lovely to have her legs wrapped about our hips right about now? I can hear her moans now…

Damn it all! Quiet yourself!

"Sesshy-kun, are you okay? You have that really mad looking grimace you get whenever I annoy you over much. If it means that much to you, I'll answer the rest of your questions right now,"

He had the urge to grin.

"Why is it that you didn't want to kiss me before you went through your change?"

Kagome had the decency to blush. "I… um… well, I was warned that I was unstable and if I got too… excited… that bad things would happen. I didn't want anything to happen to you so I refrained..."

He figuratively pounced. "Was? As in, not anymore? Does that mean that you and I can finish what we started so long ago, ai?"

"I… um… that is, you know… I am no longer unstable, that much is true, Sesshomaru…" he almost licked his lips as her blush darkened her skin almost translucent. He could see the veins hidden just below her skin pump the blood into her face. He had to pause and stop himself from flying across the table, servants eyes be damned.

"Is there a problem, Kagome?" He didn't fail to notice her shiver.

"I-I just… You know… The sensations are still… very strong. It… it almost hurts sometimes, it feels so good. I just… every time we talk about it, I remember…" She cast her eyes downwards, blushing and just a little excited.

The kits bounced into the room, full of questions for the still blushing woman. She petted Shippo, walking with them into the gardens to play one of the inane games. Sesshomaru thought he heard the name as "tag". It didn't matter. He had other things to think about at the moment. More important things.

He would have fun claiming his Kagome.

Well, for those of you that were confused, there are a few of the answers that you wanted. I am sorry to point out that Kagome does not have angel wings; I will accept bird wings, although I was going more for butterfly wings, seeing as I said that they were visible…
