"Sesshomaru?" She asked cautiously. She wasn't sure what to say if she could even say anything. Maybe she'd just overthought things again and that made her feel more than a little stupid. By maybe just maybe he was thinking about her words too? And that thought left a chilling feeling within her.

"You're not here for convenience." He finally stated and she realized that the words were hard for him to say. "I don't know what will happen in our future but I like you Kagome and I want you to be my girlfriend now. And I want you to be just that."

Kagome knew words held power and sway but at that moment she felt something ease within her. She wasn't ready for taking a huge leap in a relationship with Sesshomaru but taking small steps helped and right now she felt comfortable.
