Chapter 4 Heart of

I woke slowly my mind pulling me from the deepest most restful sleep in my entire life the moment i head a familiar slurred voice. It pulled me awake i laid there listening to it judging if i should move and go to my friend to comfort him in his confusion but another voice came before i could even open my eyes.
"Miroku man its ok your safe lay back you hit your head really good back there gave the girls quite a scare. They'll probably fawn all over you babying you for the next few days."Inuyasha said gently not wanting to interrupt their bonding moment I smiled keeping my eyes closed i could see them in my head. Inuyasha leaning over a gentle clawed hand on Miroku's shoulder keeping the monk from sitting up to fast.
"My friend you are just envious that I'll have two beautiful nurses tending me in my weakened state." Miroku came back patting Inuyasha's knee in false pity Inuyasha sighed to hear his friends tone of voice.
"Feh leach one of these days those women you are so fond of will leave your ass out in the cold." Miroku chuckled softly.
" That's were you are wrong my friend while I agree that my dearest Sango would, Kagome-sama is to soft hearted she'd never leave me out in the cold." Miroku stated knowing me well. I couldn't take it any more i had to throw my two sense in at the now chuckling duo i sat up from my warm perch turned and glared at them. Miroku leaning back to back with Inuyasha jumped slightly at my appearance.
"Wanna bet both of you are going to be kicked out if you don't watch your mouths people are trying to sleep and if you wake up the kids and Sango I'll scalp you myself then leave you to Sango's wrath and believe me you don't want me to tell her about your little conversation." I raised my eye brow at them they shook their heads shutting up falling silent leaning into the other in content. I muttered curses about idiot half demons and lecherous monks. Then i slumped back into the warm space I had vacated to yell at the idiots. I heard a deep rumble from my pillow i looked up into the face of the demon blushing I trembled slightly in recollection of falling asleep in his arms. Feeling me shiver Sesshomaru pulled me closer miss interpenetrating my shiver as cold I took advantage of this I sighed snuggled back up into his arms. Placed my head back into his shoulder and murmured.
"You shouldn't be so nice to me I'll get use to it and expect you to hold me every night. I just mite fall for you if you keep surprising me pleasantly."
"Maybe I want to get you use to it. I finally have you were I want you Miko and I'm not gonna let you get away from me again. My youkai has chosen you as my mate no other woman will do for me." He whispered back lips in my hair to muffle his words but i heard him clearly he paused for a moment ."It chose you long before you gave me my arm back it chose you months ago. I've been holding myself back from trying to court you. You have no idea the torment my mind has been under after everything I've done to you i never thought you'd see past my past actions to harm you. I believed that you still hated me for my actions but then last night, I began to hope just a little last night when you gave me my arm back. It suddenly was vital that I give everything I had into earning your affection. I hope that you'll come to care for me the way I care for you and if you do not i will accept and respect your decision." He added a little worriedly.

"Sesshomaru how could you believe I hated you take a look at my friends Inuyasha tried to kill me when i first freed him from the god-tree, my own son tried to steal the jewel shards from me after his parents were killed by the thunder brothers, Miroku stole my shards, and my best friend Sango the person I tell everything to and i mean everything was convinced by Naraku that Inuyasha orchestrated the murder of her village her family and the enslavement of her little brother. Do I hate them no i trust them more then anything. Miroku and Inuyasha have become big brothers to me protecting me offering me words of encouragement wisdom as i need. Shippou has become my son and nothing in this world will tare him away from me he's mine forever and i love him heart body and soul. And Sango she's my sister my best friend the person i go to whenever i need a shoulder to cry on or someone to slap me telling me I'm stupid to stand up and keep fighting that nothing is lost forever. Hate you never I'll admit you scared me a lot at first but also captivated me with your entire being. I was afraid and sad that you and Inuyasha mite never have a good relationship you are family for better or worse. Then when we made the pact and you joined us and i forgave you almost immediately. I'm not one to hold a grudge I saw that you wanted to move on from the past even if it was just to beat a common enemy. But then everything went down hill with me after three years of putting up with Inuyasha and Kikyou I started to get over him and while I still have feelings for him I don't love him like that anymore thanks to you i was able to move on gracefully. You gave me everything I needed to see to be able to see that I was better off. To Inuyasha I will never be anything but a replacement Kikyou I am not a replacement I deserve better then that. I will always love Inu but my love for him is that of a sister and friend I owe him for looking out for me all these years." I whispered back keeping my voice low knowing he could hear me but not wanting the two others in camp to over hear.
"So you don't hate me!" he replayed breathlessly I smiled up at him "Of course silly didn't i just say that. Quite the opposite in fact I've become quite infatuated with you. You confuse me I can't read you at all its frustrating, i want to get to know the Sesshomaru under the ice mask and the playful little boy Sesshomaru from last night as well. I'm already falling for you when you share things with me it makes me fall even faster for you." I said yawning curling into him feeling that i belonged there in his strong arms this was were I belonged in this demons arms. He was the one I was meant to love the one capable of giving me just what I needed.
"Your crazy to love a demon little human."He replied holding me as close as he could nose pressed in my hair dragging my sent into his nose.
"Like what you smell." I giggled at him "Yes its intoxicating to smell you. I could smell you forever and never get sick of it." He growled i giggled again and breathed him in he smelled pretty intoxicating himself he smelled of deep forests crisp and fresh. I yawned content in his arms.
" Mmmm so warm." i said drowzily "Go to sleep Miko I'll keep you safe and warm till morning trust me." He stated.
" I do Sesshomaru with my life and the lives of my family and son." I said drifting off not hearing anything after that just the warm body holding me and then i slipped off into the lands of Morpheus...
