Confessions

"I am human. You stated in the past that humans were beneath you and not worth your time. You broke my heart. I knew it in my soul that you would never see me as more, and so I never hoped. I knew I could never make you happy, because I am what you do not want." she said, crying harder at the end.

"Kagome, I beg you to forgive this Sesshomaru. I fought the feelings you invoked in me. I lashed out at you because I did not understand what I was feeling. I am 600 years old. I have never loved anyone. I have affection for my mother, a respect and admiration for my father, but I never loved them. The day I meet you, I found you beautiful, fierce, determined, intelligent and loyal. You scared me, because I did not know why I thought these things about you. When we met again, I thought the same things, only this time I lashed out verbally, trying to convince myself. When we met, and I had the dragon arm, you told Totosai that you thought the Tensaiga was the better sword to have. 'To be able to restore life would be a blessing', I did not understand. That is when I met Rin. I was injured from the windscar and recovered at the base of a tree. Rin found me and tried to help me. I said terrible things to her, but she continued to come back. When I was well, I left and did not think again of Rin, until I smelled her blood. I told Jaken an experiment, and brought her back. Through her I learned what you meant. I do find her a blessing. She reminded me of you, happy, loving, loyal, compassionate, and intelligent. Rin gave me the tools to understand what it was I felt for you. I understood completely when I saved you from the poison master. I saw my beloved then. I did not know how to take back my words or my actions. All I knew, as you looked at me and I looked in your eyes, was a profound sadness. I did that to you, I caused that. It hurt me, that I hurt you." he explained, his eyes reflecting everything he spoke.

"I forgive you, but please, please, don't ever hurt me like that again. I could not bare it." she said, tears streaming down her face.

"Never my love, never. I vow it to you here and now and for always." he stated, a determination in his eyes.

Kagome couldn't help herself, she crashed her lips to his. Sesshomaru did not fight or stop her, only tightening his hold upon her.
