"Tell me again." Sesshomaru murmured in between kisses. The reception had run into the evening so when they had come home it had been a short time until Rin was in bed, tuckered out from the exciting day. Now, the two adults were having their alone time.
"I love you." Kagome murmured as she fell back onto the bed in Sesshomaru's room.
It had been a few hours since she'd said it, but apparently Sesshomaru couldn't get over the novelty of the statement. As he proceeded to kiss her senseless once more she wondered why he was doing this. Pushing him away, she looked at him ready to ask her questions but stopped. He was happy. She'd seen him happy before but the expression on his face mimicked that of a child given his favorite candy. She suddenly realized what her words meant to Sesshomaru and what his actions were conveying to her.
"You silly man, you've been waiting a while haven't you?" And with that she pulled him back onto the bed.
