It had been a frustrating week A bell was tolling as Sesshoumaru returned from his border patrols. He thought he saw someone in the doorway with a candle. By the time he reached the doorway all that was there was a candle and an open door.
As he walked down the corridors he noticed that one particular corridor was lit with candles while the others were dark. Clothes were left like breadcrumbs strewn down the illuminated corridor.
Finally, he reached the entrance to the onsen. As he slid open the door he was almost blinded by the light Candles circled the entire pool. As he gazed upwards there appeared to candles even on the ceiling.
When he looked closer he could see that the light of the candles were being reflected in a mirror on the ceiling. In the center of the ring of light was a naked celestial goddess lounging languorously against the side of the pool with a glass in her hand and bucket and a bottle by her side.
As Sesshoumaru gazed rapturously at this vision of loveliness, he heard the familiar voice of his mate.
" I am glad that you were able to follow the path to me when I showed you the way. I hope that we can make amends so that we will never be parted like this again..".
As he disrobed and entered the pool, he wondered how he ever came to offend to offend such a beautiful woman. He realized now that the consequences of his actions far outweighed any minor triumph at the expense of his mate.
One thought caused him to smile. All the pain that he had suffered would be worth it, if making up with Kagome was as much fun as he anticipated it to be.
