Chapter 88: Lie
"This Sesshoumaru has no secrets."
"Everyone has secrets. Everyone keeps things just for themself." Kagome lathered her hands and began to tenderly rub the suds over his shoulders. "Aren't you tired of being alone?"
"No."
"I think you're not being honest."
"I do not lie."
"While that may be the case, Lord Sesshoumaru, you do have ways of manipulating words to mean something other than whats meant." Kagome's hand sliding down his back, " Just know, I am here."
"I am aware, Miko."
"Kagome. Is it that hard to call me by my name?" Her voice was soft, her touch gentle as she cleaned his back. While being gentle, she seemed to have lost control of her hands, moving on their own accord to his sides. "Am I still so low to you that you can't call me by my name?" Her fingertips, trailing down his ribs, lower, coming to rest on his waist. They slipped over his skin, making their way around to his stomach.
"Do not push your luck."
Kagome sighed, cupped more water in her hands, and began rinsing the soap off. That when she noticed it, in the pale moonlight.
