Sorry about the long delay for the upload. School and work have been crazy and it was a very hard story to finish and edit because I was being nitpicky with it.
But anyways, enjoy.

Kagome regained consciousness as the car came to a stop in front of the house. Kagome sat Kiyo on her lap and stretched her arms over head, groaning in near pleasure when her muscles stretched and relaxed. Kagome poked Kiyo's nose, gently, smiling when his hands came up to grab at her fingers. Kagome heard Sesshomaru chuckle beside her and she blushed. Sesshomaru popped the door open and slid out of the car. Kagome slid across the seat after him, carefully since she had Kiyo in her arms. When she reached the door Kagome saw Sesshomaru standing there with his arms outstretched,

"I can take Kiyo if it would make it easier."

Kagome shook her head, "No, it's fine. I've done this before."

Cradling Kiyo in one arm to her chest, Kagome climbed out of the car and stepped onto the driveway. Following Sesshomaru into the house, her shoes clicking softly on the hardwood floor she scanned the foyers as she walked, taking in the decorations on the walls and the beauty of the house. She was awestruck by the elegance and beauty of the house; everything was elaborate in design and decorative. Inuyasha's house was simple and plain; not that she minded the simplicity of Inuyasha's and her house. Kagome was never big on ornate or elaborate things, she preferred simple and homely things. She had been raised in a middle class family that had just enough money to pay the bills and buy groceries. Once Kagome had gotten old enough to get a job to help support the family, her meager earnings had benefited her family greatly when it came to taking care of the shrine that they had purchased.

It was because of that shrine that Kagome had met Inuyasha. He had been visiting the shrine while there for a business trip. Inuyasha had been kneeling near the doorway, unable to go in. After questioning Inuyasha for hours Kagome found out that he was a half demon and that there was a charm on the shrine that prevented him from entering. Demons, by that time, were nothing new to her and promised Inuyasha she wouldn't tell anyone; especially her grandfather, he would try to kill him. A few weeks after Kagome met Inuyasha, she met Sesshomaru; her feelings for him didn't start then, but developed as she got to know him.

Kagome nearly bumped into Sesshomaru when he came to a stop in front of a door. She took a step back and resituated Kiyo in her arms. Sesshomaru smiled slightly in Kagome's directions as he pushed the door beside him open. Holding the door open, Sesshomaru let Kagome walk in before him. The lights were still off, so all that Kagome could see was what was illuminated by the moon light that was streaming through the doors that lead to a balcony. With the little light she had, Kagome could tell that the carpet was a deep blue and looked plush and soft. The footboard of the bed was also illuminated by the moonlight. The wood of the bed shone in the light which made Kagome wonder what it was made of, she had never seen wood glow, in a sorts, before; maybe it wasn't wood, or wood only. Shrugging to herself, Kagome turned the lights on and winced slightly at the bright light. She gasped at the now fully illuminated room as her eyes adjusted. The walls were painted a silvery blue and the wall fixtures were ornate and silver. The bed dominated the center of the room; it was a four poster bed that had sheer silver curtains that surrounded it. A few feet from the bed there was a crib. Kagome crossed the room and laid Kiyo down in it, nodding slightly in approval when Kiyo squealed in delight; Kagome hoped Kiyo would go back to sleep so she could get a shower. Kagome turned on the bed in hopes of finding out what it was made of. She knew it couldn't be plain wood, something had to be woven into it. She kneeled down at the foot of the bed and ran her fingers over the wood, feeling for any sign of something being woven into it. Kagome didn't find one so she turned to Sesshomaru who had a pensive look.

"Sesshomaru?" said Kagome softly, standing back up.

When Sesshomaru acknowledged her, his look softened slightly before taking on its cold exterior again. Sesshomaru nodded curtly, silently telling Kagome she could continue.

"What kind of wood is the bed made of? I've never seen wood that glows in the moon light." asked Kagome.

"There is a grove of trees that grow near my mother's grave that do that. We are unsure why they do, we never bothered to figure it out." said Sesshomaru. "Dinner will be in an hour or two. I will send up a maid to watch Kiyo while you get ready. "

Kagome nodded and watched as Sesshomaru left. After a few seconds a maid hobbled in with her suitcases and set them down next two the dresser. Kagome smiled sweetly at the maid and moved to open her suitcases; she was startled by the maid jumping to her feet and scurrying away from her. Kagome dismissed the maid, quietly, not looking up from her suitcases. Kagome felt the tears well up in her eyes as she opened her suitcase. The maid was obviously terrified of her even though she was only human. Kagome didn't want to be there if everyone was scared of her. She decided she would take it up with Sesshomaru the next time she saw him. Kagome unpacked her clothes and tucked them into the dresser, also hanging up the clothes that needed to be hung up. She also unpacked Kiyo's clothes and tucked them into the smaller dresser by hers.

Since Kiyo was still asleep, Kagome decided to get a quick bath to get ready for dinner. Walking into the bathroom Kagome left the door open incase Kiyo woke up. Stripping off her clothes Kagome started running her bath water. Kagome marveled at the bathroom for a moment while the tub filled. The word 'tub' wasn't a good word to describe the lake in front of her; the bath tub was the size of a natural spring. There was a small shower off to the side of the tub and a decent size sink and toilet across from the bath tub. The bathroom was painted a dark red color and the wall fixtures and the counter top were a dark bronze. The lights were really bright; which was good because the bathroom seemed dark. Once the water had filled up enough Kagome turned off the taps and got into the tub, sighing in bliss as the heat soothed her muscles. Sleeping sitting up in the car had wrecked havoc of her back.

Kagome dipped her head underwater to get her hair wet before lathering the shampoo, she found on the side of the tub, into her hair. As the scent wafted around her, Kagome found that she liked the smell of it and didn't see any need to request a new one. After rinsing the shampoo from her hair she lathered the conditioner into her hair, piling her hair on top of her head so she could wash her body. Popping open the body wash, Kagome sniffed it cautiously. Kagome looked at the bottle in confusion when she realized it had no scent. Shrugging to herself she used the body wash but made a mental note to tell Sesshomaru about it. After she rinsed the body wash from her body Kagome dipped her head underwater to rinse the conditioner from her hair. Hearing Kiyo begin to cry, Kagome quickly got out of the tub and threw on the robe that was hanging on the door. Kagome began to worry when Kiyo stopped crying. Rushing into her room Kagome saw Sesshomaru holding Kiyo and rocking him slowly.

Sesshomaru looked over to Kagome when she exited the bathroom and into her room. His breath caught at the sight and the scent of her. Her cheeks were flushed a light pink from the heat of her bath and the water dripping from her hair traced tempting lines down her body, disappearing in her robe. Her wet hair fell to her shoulders in thick waves that made him want to run his fingers through them. Her chocolate eyes glimmered with worry from the sound of her child's cries. The scent rolling off of her had him buckling down on his self control. His beast was purring at the scent that she was emanating, the maids must have put the soap in her room that would attract his demon to her; not that he wasn't already attracted to her. His beast screamed at him to whisk her away to his room and have his way with her but he tamped that down and kept control.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you by comforting him. I was walking by and heard him crying." said Sesshomaru.

Kagome seemed to struggle with herself as she answered, "No, it's fine. It didn't worry me too much, it was just odd that he stopped crying."

Sesshomaru nodded in understanding and looked down to the baby in his arms. Kagome's heart had begun to race when she saw him, Sesshomaru noted; she had also gotten extremely nervous. This made him wonder what Kagome was hiding from him.

"Maybe she has feelings for us." spoke up Sesshomaru's beast.

"Not likely. She made it clear that night that it was just a one night stand with no feelings attached. She made it especially clear when she got back together with Inuyasha." replied Sesshomaru nuzzling Kiyo's cheek and noticing that Kagome watched him intently.

"You never know. Her reaction to us being around means something."

"She could be hiding something or she's not comfortable being around me because of our past together."

Sesshomaru's beast fell silent and he inwardly growled, 'I guess I have to do everything myself.'

Kagome took Kiyo from Sesshomaru and laid him back down in his be. Turning from Kiyo's bed to go to her closet Kagome bumped into Sesshomaru, blushing at how close he was standing. Kagome bit her lip as her heart race increased at the close proximity to Sesshomaru; she prayed he wouldn't notice, but he did.

"Are you uncomfortable around me?" asked Sesshomaru.

"No." Said Kagome taking a step back only to be pulled forward by Sesshomaru.

"Then why do you get so nervous?" asked Sesshomaru resting one of his hands on the small of her back to keep her from moving away again and leaning him head by hers so he could take in the scent radiating off her.

"Because you're scary." said Kagome saying the first thing that came to mind.

Sesshomaru snorted and released Kagome before stepping back towards the door, "I know you're not scared of me, Kagome. I know you're lying. I will find out what you're hiding. See you at dinner."

Well there's that chapter done. Chapter three will be up at some point.
See ya'll soon.
