'Please come back koi, please come back to me mate'

'Oh god my head is killing me' Kagome groaned inwardly.

'I love you Kagome please come back' she heard someone say.

'Se-Sesshomaru' she thought trying to open her eyes. Her eyes began to crack open and immediately regretted it. There was a bright light glaring right down at her.

"Where the hell am I" she whispered aloud trying to adjust to the light.

"Kagome" a voice called.

She turned to come face to face with Sesshomaru, but this wasn't her Sesshomaru, not the one she mated. This Sesshomaru was a complete mess. His hair was tussled, his eyes blood shot as if he hadn't slept in forever, there were tear stains on his cheeks and his clothes were wrinkle.

"Thank Kami you're okay" he said hugging her close.

"Sesshomaru what's going on"

"You were out for a week when I found you in the mansion and right now we're in the hospital. I haven't left your side since" he explained not releasing her from his hold.

As she let the news sink in she let a tear escape her.

"I'm sorry" she whispered softly.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, outrageous demands, mood swings and everything. I promise as soon as we get out I'll do anything and everything to make it up to you" she whispered not daring to look at him.

Sesshomaru released her enough to force her to look at him. How he missed those beautiful ocean blue eyes that he yearned for day and night.

He lifted her gently and sat on the bed with her in his lap as h tucked her head under his chin and held her as she quietly sobbed into his chest. His heart hurt like hell seeing her like this especially when he made it this way.

He waited for her to calm down before speaking.

"What I said was completely and utterly false. I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. When we first mated I did everything and anything to finish what I was doing so that I could rush into your arms. Every day and night till this very day I would find myself silently praying to the Kamis' above to never wake me up because not once in my life have I even dreamt of such a beautiful sweet kind and caring woman to ever love me especially with knowing all that I have done."

By now she sobbing an apologizes in his chest for being so mean but he continued to hold her and softly stroking her hair to comfort her.

"You have nothing to apologize for love. You were the way you were because of the pregnancy. My beast was just not used to taking orders, but no matter what it says never doubt that I for one second wish to be mated to another because I do not. I love you Kagome and only you. I only want you gracing my bed. I only want you in my arms and bearing my pups."

Just then Kagome felt something slide onto her finger. She saw it was her engagement ring.

"Please" his voice was soft and desperate. "Please don't ever take this off. When I saw it on the floor I thought I lost you forever. I broke down to tears desperate to get you back by my side."

"Please don't ever leave me. You think I am too good for you but it is the other around. Before you, I was cold, silent, and did not care for another's presence. Rin merely cracked the ice surrounding my heart but you, you did so much more. You completely melted the ice away and I found myself yearning to be near you all the time. Your smile brightens my entire day, you childlike antics and free spirited nature draws me closer to you making me smile as I here your beautiful laugh. Kagome you bring out the better in me. You make every day of my existence worth living and it kills me knowing my mate, heart, and very life thinks themselves unworthy of this Sesshomaru, a natural born killer. I love you Kagome and never doubt that again."

He pulled back a little and cupped her face bringing her into a passionate kiss.

It was filled with love, passion, longing, lust, desire, and hunger.

"Never leave me" Sesshomaru whispered before going back in.

"Ahem" they pulled apart being interrupted a very amused Inu Tashio.

"So I see it you pups made up" he said making Kagome giggle. But Sesshomaru only made her think of him as he pulled her back to his lips.

Inu Tashio or no Inu Tashio. He craved his mate.
