After dinner Thursday night, Sesshomaru decided that he'd tell Kagome of his plan for Saturday. He didn't want to scare her if she wasn't ready for what he had in mind. Clearing his throat he caught Kagome's attention. Rin was upstairs picking out a book for her bedtime story and the two adults were alone.
"Kagome," he began slowly, "I've arranged things so that my mother will be taking care of Rin Saturday night." Kagome took in a deep breath. They'd already agreed that she would spend the weekend at Sesshomaru's place. Now though, she knew that Sesshomaru was suggesting something beyond that. Kagome thought about it; was she ready? She looked at Sesshomaru's face and traced the markings she saw there. There were many things that had happened in their relationship. This next step couldn't hurt either.
"I like that." She whispered suddenly feeling bold and giving him a kiss where his pulse was. Before he could escalate things however, she fled to Rin's bedroom. They could continue tomorrow.
