Summary: Kikyou revels in the kiss

The kiss had exploded in her mind. The event had taken on a life of its own leaving her former existence a pale shadow. She thought of nothing else. It occupied all of her waking hours. The kiss had made him the object of all her desire, all her hopes, all her dreams.

She could still feel the tingle of the her lips. The scrape of his fangs against her tongue thrilled her and made her beg for more. The warmth of his breath as he told her that he loved her. The urgent press of his body against hers as he told her that he wanted to become human so that they could live together as human and wife.

The kiss had ignited a passion within her. Her heart was on fire. It was consuming her body and soul. All thought of her duty as a miko and as Protector of Shikon non tama were burned on the bonfire of her dreams.

Of course she had considered love and marriage before. Somewhere in her mind she saw herself surrounded by dark-haired children. She had always dismissed them as fantasies. She had laughed when Tsubaki cursed her, saying that she would die a violent death if she fell in love with a man. She had never feared falling in love because it could never happen to her.

The tides of love swept all her fears and doubts away. The kiss erased all her training in a moment of passion. Her only thoughts were of his kiss, his touch, his passion, his gentleness and his words of love.

Somehow she would have to survive until their next meeting. The wish on the jewel could not come too soon for her because she lived only for him.
