Chapter 55: Reason
Kagome cleared her throat and averted her eyes off his. She wasn't sure how long they had sat there in the moonlight looking at each other, or why, but she had come out here for a reason. If only she could remember what it was.
"Oh yeah! I need to tend to your back again." Kagome smiled.
"This excites you?"
"What?!" Kagome was confused. "Oh no, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I had forgotten the reason I had come out here, I was happy that I remembered. Can I reclean your wounds?"
Sesshoumaru didn't answer verbally, but began unbutttoning the shirt she had purchased for him today. Kagome pulled her medical kit to her and set out what she would need. She looked back up in time to see his shirt, completely unbottoned now, slide down his arms, exposing his firm body. His fair skin shown in the moonlight, stretched over tightly bound muscles. She still wondered if it felt like the silk it resembled. Her hands itched to see, to touch.
"Could you turn around please?" she asked in a throaty voice. ~What the hell is wrong with me?!~
