I think I'm falling for Sesshomaru. Every time I talk to him, I get butterflies in my stomach. And when he looks at me, I swear I see his eyes sparkle a bit. He seems to have gotten more protective of me. I seem more clingy to him. I don't hop from tree to tree anymore; I walk with him instead, talking the day away. At night, I lay awake thinking about him, while I marvel at the stars, the way the shine and sparkle, like his striking hazel-gold eyes.

Tonight, I do the same thing as usual; watch the stars and think of him. I eventually fall asleep, and find myself dreaming. I'm back at the village, and everyone is telling me how much they missed me, and how sorry they are for what they did to me. Then Sesshomaru appears and proposes to me. I gladly say yes. The next scene is our wedding. The sky is a clear blue, not a cloud in sight. Pink cherry blossoms are blowing in the wind. Sesshomaru and I are standing in front of the minister, both of us looking absolutely stunning in our picturesque Japanese wedding. The minister marries us, and Sesshomaru sweeps me off my feet and kisses me. The next thing I know, we're staring down at a newborn baby in my arms. It has my silky black hair, and Sesshomaru's beautiful hazel-gold eyes and his crescent on her forehead. It's a girl, and we name it after me, Kiyomi. My eyes snap open. I sit up and look around. I'm in the tree I fell asleep in. Sadly, it was dream.

I hear leaves crunching. Must be Sesshomaru and Jaken. I look through the branches of the trees. It is them. I decide to go back to sleep, not caring about what they were doing. I lay back down and close my eyes. Maybe I can dream some more I think. I quickly drift off into sleep again. "Kiyomi." My eyes pop open. "Kiyomi, are you awake?" I look down through the branches and see Sesshomaru standing below me. "Yeah, why?" I say drowsily. "Come down here." he says. "Give me a moment to wake up." I respond. I blink and stretch my body. I shake my head a bit, and look around. I jump out of the branches and land on my feet. I straighten up. "So, what is it?" I ask. He sits down at the base of the tree. "Couldn't sleep." I approach him. "That's no fun." I say. "Yeah, I guess I just needed someone to talk to." he replies. I sit down next to him. "So…" I say. He looks at me expectantly. I blush and look down. Awkward. "Sesshomaru…do you like me?" I say without thinking. That is such a stupid question. I feel so childish asking that. I doubt he likes me, anyway. He glances at me. "What do you think?" he says. "Well…that's not really what I meant. What I meant was…you know." He turns to look at me. The sparkle in his eyes tells me one thing, yes. He leans toward me. "Sessho-" he grabs me and kisses me passionately. I wrap my arms and legs around him and kiss back. I've never felt this before. I've never felt so close to someone before. At this moment, we're deeply connected, and nothing can separate us. The kissing dies down, and Sesshomaru pulls back. "Sorry about that." he says. "No, you're fine." I say. "So, is that a yes?" He nods. Wonderful. He loves me, and from the looks of it, just as much as I love him. I can't believe it. I've found true love. We're officially together. And now, we're inseparable. Nothing can bring us apart. Nothing.

We eventually fall asleep together, only for Jaken to wake us up a few hours later. He tells us we need to continue to wherever. We wake up Rin, then continue on to our unknown destination. Both Sesshomaru and I are back to normal, but still a bit different. We stick together, convinced we'll never be torn apart. And we never will. I've always been independent. But not anymore. It's now me and Sesshomaru vs. the world, and I love it. I act normal, but I'm mentally obsessing over the fact that I'm no longer I, instead it's we or us. It's nice to know that someone loves me, someone cares about me, and that I'm not alone. Days pass by, and it starts to get boring. My curiosity increases, and begin to wonder Where are we going? Sesshomaru and Jaken seem to know, but they're keeping me and Rin in the dark about it. It's almost suspicious. But I try to just ignore it, and focus on Sesshomaru and I.
