A/N: I pumped out several chapters in a short amount of time (6 to be exact… this is 7) as an apology for my looooong departure from this story. Since things are getting ready to pick back up again IRL there's no telling how long it'll be before I update again. I do promise to try not to disappear for two years again. If at all possible I'll update at least once a month.

Propono (Resolve)

This was the second time Kagome had awoken in a place that was not her own home. Rolling over she came into contact with a muscular chest.

"Good morning." She spoke through closed teeth attempting to avoid blessing the inuyoukai with morning breath.

Sesshoumaru smirked at her failed attempt to consider his heightened senses and leaned down to kiss her anyway.

"I have a spare toothbrush underneath the bathroom sink." He spoke, amusement dancing in his golden eyes.

Kagome rolled her eyes at him before making her way to the restroom to relieve her bladder and brush her teeth.

She fiddled with the remote control panel before the television across from her turned on and voices started coming from the 20-inch box tucked securely in the marble tiled wall.

"Rich bastard." She muttered to herself.

Flushing the toilet, she turned toward the glass encased shower and fiddled with the nozzle until water sprang forth.

Once it reached a decent temperature she stepped in and began lathering her body with one of the various body washes that lined the wall of the shower.

It wasn't long before she felt the chill of air that signified Sesshoumaru's arrival in the shower with her. She washed her hair before trading places with the inu to allow him a moment in the water.

She couldn't help but admire his physique as he cleansed himself relatively quickly.

Sesshoumaru noticed her eyes on him and he pushed her gently against the tiled wall as he kissed her.

"See something you like onna?" He spoke in a sultry voice.

"I don't know… maybe?" She said teasingly as she reached for his member. She felt in expand in her delicate grip before she fell to her knees before him.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the top of her raven locks as he sucked in a breath of anticipation when her lips touch the tip of his member.

Adjusting himself he placed one hand on the tiled wall of the shower and the other on the glass encasing to keep his knees from buckling from her attentions.

Kagome swallowed as much of him as she could and used both of her tiny hands to massage the rest of what could not fit in her mouth. She sucked and licked and kissed his dick as he moaned her name.

Taking this as encouragement she increased her efforts, removing his dick from her mouth and began suckling on his balls.

Sesshoumaru couldn't take it anymore and forcefully pulled her to her feet. He turned her so her back was facing him and pushed her upper body toward the wall as he lined his penis with her already slick folds.

"Pleasing this one turned you on hm?"

He was met with silence and a sigh of pleasure when entered her in one fluid motion. His pace was fast and steady as he rocked his hips forward and backward. Steam surrounded them as the sounds of water, slapping flesh and background noise from the television filled the room.

His dick was wet with her necter and he felt the reigns of his control begin to slip from his grasp as he watched his penis disappear inside her.

Kagome gasped in a mix of pleasure in pain as she felt his pace quicken and his thrusts deepen. He was hitting places inside her that she didn't even know existed and she didn't know whether to tell him to stop or go harder.

"AHHH!" She screamed as an orgasm tore through her. Upon her scream and the spasm of her pussy walls around his cock he disconnected from her and turned her to face him.

He swiftly reentered her willing sheath as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

He moved her body up and down onto his shaft until he felt his own climax approach.

Releasing her from his grasp he forcefully unsheathed himself and allowed his seed to spill on the shower floor.

Breathing hard he allowed one hand to rest on the wall above her head and rested his head in the crook of her neck.

"I could stay here all day ravishing you… but alas there is work to be done." He spoke in a cool tone.

Kagome made quick work of cleaning her lady parts then exited the shower.

Sesshoumaru had to calm himself, for the site of her naked form glistening with water as she began to dry herself was enough to cause his loins to stir again.

….

Kagome entered the law firm in fresh clothes. Each step she took was full of determination. She would face Sango sometime in the very near future and she attributed her new found confidence to whatever it was that was blossoming between her and the youkai that was capable of bringing her body immense pleasure.

He trusted her with his secret as she trusted him with the delicate situation of her own. She was able to be vulnerable without feeling weak with him. It felt good to be able to let loose her guard in the presence of another.

Kagome left her musings to greet Bill who had switched shifts with Goten for the day and entered the elevator to travel to the 13th floor. Once off the elevator she made her way to her office fully expecting to be greeted by a less than cheerful Sango. Instead she was met by a new face who introduced herself as Rin.

"Hello!" The young woman greeted. She couldn't have been any older than 21.

Upon noticing the older woman's look of confusion she spoke while standing and extending her hand, "You must be Ms. Higurashi. Sango took a leave of absence due to a family emergency and I'll be filling in for her for the next week or so."

Kagome sighed. In the past her friend would have informed her of such a thing in person. She wondered if her brother was in the hospital again. Guilt must've settled on her features for the young woman before her gave her an eye of concern.

Kagome came out of her stupor before taking the brown eyed girls hand in her own and greeted her.

"You have large shoes to fill… Rin? Sango is very efficient as my secretary."

Rin nodded accepting the challenge and began announcing Kagome's schedule.

She followed Kagome into her office, placing a cup of coffee in front of her when she sat down before walking back to Sango's desk that sat outside her office.

Kagome attempted to burry herself in her work to avoid thinking about what could be going on with her friend. She hoped that she wasn't attempting to avoid her with this temporary leave.

She knew that she had to settle things with the secretary quickly. Something told her that her new paramour wasn't one for much patience when it came to certain things.

….

Sango sat across from her longtime friend as they filled each other in about the happenings of their lives.

"So what are you up to these days Miroku?" She asked pleasantly.

The attractive man before her responded, "Well I'm working on my first album finally. You remember how much I loved music right?"

Sango nodded as he continued, "Well I never gave up on that passion. I think my dad almost had a heart attack when I declared my major in music." He laughed, "But everything is finally starting to come together. I got a deal with Warner Brothers last year and we are moving right along." He said with a dazzling smile.

Sango smiled back and said, "I'm really proud of you for sticking it out Miroku."

"What are you doing now?" He queried.

He noticed the shift in her mood and attempted to change topics.

"No it's fine! I actually love my job. I've just been having to sort some things out regarding a personal matter lately and thinking about work reminded me of it. I actually work for Higurashi Smith and Walden LLP. I've been there going on three years now." She finished her sentence somberly.

"You wanna talk about it?" He pried.

She sighed then began, "I really don't know where to start… I- I met this girl and I think I confused my feelings for her with romantic ones… I did something really impulsive and looking back probably stupid… and now I don't know how to face her without feeling awkward. We became really good friends over the years but I can't bring myself to look her in the face. Especially since she's been giving off a standoffish vibe."

"My dear Sango… you must give me details of this 'impulsive' something you did!" Miroku spoke suggestively. "I didn't know you had it in you!"

Sango's eye twitched as her hand itched to reel back and smack the raven haired pervert sitting across from her.

"Can't you be serious for at least one moment!" She said agitatedly.

A serious expression came over his face as he spoke, "I think running away from your problems is never going to solve them. Face it head on, who knows your 'friend' may be feeling the same way that you are?" He told her.

"Wise beyond your perversion I see." Sango laughed. "It's good to see that you haven't changed."

"You're still as beautiful as I recall as well."

Sango blushed and looked away attempting to change topics.

"Soooo… how about those Rams!"

Miroku laughed before indulging her.
