Regrets

Kagomes POV

Tears continued to fall down the young woman's cheeks as the Inu faded away in her arms. She had fought so hard to find him and now he was slipping away...yet she couldn't bring herself to end the kiss with the youkai she learnt to love...which as she now knew loved her in return.

Crystal drops stained the former proud lords pale skin as the miko started to loose hope and her newly healed heart seemed to slowly break apart once more . Then, a sudden pulse filled the room. Yet, she hardly noticed as she held the youkai tightly in her arms and her lips never left his. Forgotten, the power that hovered around her then moved, through its current host and into her desperate kiss and into the unmovable male in her arms. At first nothing changed, but then the soft feeling of lips pushing back against hers made the young woman gasp in surprise. Yet she didn't stop and she kissed him with a newfound hope and the green energy crackled around them, its power calling to the youkai, embracing him and filling his being.

It didn't take long until the answer to her kiss became stronger, more greedy. It was like a miracle...her wish seemed to be granted. She could feel the changes...she could feel him. His aura grew stronger and she could feel the warmth return to his skin as life once more flowed through him.

She could almost laugh, the relief washing over her as she realized he wasn't going to leave her, that in fact that the power that was stolen, his life energy had been returned to him through her.

Yet, all she could think of was that he was alive...that he was going to be okay.

And that his lips were heatedly pressed against hers.

At that moment, she had never been happier.

After a while the power ceased to flow, leaving the well known power humming inside the being it belonged. That was when the demon opened his eyes once more and softly broke the kiss, the daiyoukai looking slightly dazed up with burning eyes at the darkly blushing woman before him.

"How did you do it..?"

She could had laughed at the situation, that even through going through an near death experience his voice was as smooth as always, not showing any sign of what just happened or lack of speech. She looked over at the man in her lap which now looked more like himself, just with the exception of his thin limbs and showing bones. The return of his yuki had turned back the clock for him once more, even if he still was just a shadow of his former self. Her eyes softened as she smiled softly at him, tears of joy now being what stained her cheeks. He was still the youkai she loved...

"I...i don't truly know..."

The ravenhired girl placed her hand softly on his cheek, letting a soft caress fall over his still pale skin as she spoke softly.

"I just sent my arrow through that demoness, the one which stole your essence..."

Her eyes filled with anger and disgust of the thought of that woman, which dared to stoop so low to steal power for herself that way. a slight crackle of Miko energy sparked around them as she thought of that sick females laugh and that wild look in her dark eyes as she continued to stroke his skin, before her hand traveled up to his silky hair, seemingly forgetting who she actually were handling.

"She tried to use it"

She snorted low as her hand continued to run through the smooth locks, not even noticing the strangely content look on the youkais face.

"But she couldn't control it. I suppose it never accepted her...I suppose Its as arrogant and proud as yourself to be used by such a creature" She laughed halfheartedly, her eyes slightly distant as she continued her tale. " Then... when I purified her...it seemed to just leave her body and turned to me instead..."

She smiled slightly as her eyes came to meet two golden ones, which were intently watching her face. The miko felt her cheeks heat up once more.

"I was afraid it would kill me...I mean, its a taiyoukais yuki and im just a human."

She looked away from his golden gaze, yet she could still feel his amber eyes watching her face.

"Yet as you see, im not dead. It must have accepted me somehow as a temporary host. As I awakened from the shock I went to look for you and.."

She knew her skin had warmed even further as she could practically feel the amusement from the normally stoic demon. "You know the rest..."

"Is that so?"

Sesshomaru´s voce said smoothly as she felt a shift in her lap and he spun her head back towards him, seeing the demon make an effort to sit up to theevident protest of his unused limbs.

"No, dont move!"

She scolded him as her arms quickly wrapped around him, stopping him from moving as she held him tightly against her chest.

Her face was now probably dark red as she now realized she had embraced the demon lord, something that surprisingly embarrassed her even though she had kissed him merely a few minutes before.

She attempted to move back while she started with an stuttering apology, but her movements and words was effectively stopped as two weak arms wrapped around her and a nose buried into her neck.

"Dont..."

She was in a state of chock, unmoving as he started to nuzzle her neck, holding her as close his current strength allowed him as he breathed low

"Dont let go..."

She felt an pleasant warmth spread within her as she then gave in to his touch, once more tightening the hold around the man of her dreams with a warm smile spreading on her lips.

"Sesshomaru..."

"Kagome..."

Her smile only widened as he said her name, so soft and lovingly as it left his lips. Oh, how she had yearned to hear that...especially from him.

"You said my name..."

She whispered but was soon cut short as a hand was placed on her neck and pulled her close, once again occupying her lips in a passionate kiss.

After they parted once again, she was the one that looked slightly dazed at the smiling demon before her, for once truly seeing the emotions that was once hidden in his amber orbs.

A bright smile came to her lips and she looked lovingly back towards the man that once had healed her broken heart to then capture it himself.

In truth, she had always admired him, his strength and his honarable way of acting. Well, after he took Rin into his care, before that all she knew of him was "Die halfbreed" and "Give me tetsusaiga!"...heh yeah that wasn't that honorable or handsome at all. Or wait...he had always been handsome so scratch that. Handsomely evil. Anyway and since he took her in while she was broken, as he took care of her in his own way she slowly started to see who he actually were, even if he still tried to hide it. Hopefully now, he wouldn't...at least not to her.

She once more leaned towards the dogdemon and placed her lips upon his, intertwining her fingers into his hair as his arms tightened a bit around her.

'Now...i have no regrets'
