Kagome was brought back and Sango tore her away to the gardens. "A woman went to Sesshomarus's room,"

Kagome stopped walking. "Oh."

"Is that good or bad for me?"

Sango could see it, Kagome was falling for him, and Kagome could tell that she could tell, "Is it that obvious?"

"He killed her,"

"Wait what?"

"He killed the woman for touching him,"

Kagome could not believe it. Well, she could, but couldn't.

"They told him if he mated you and impregnated you this would all end,"

Kagome looked away.

"I think, I think he may actually be starting to fall for you too, Kagome."

"It's all a lie Sango, remember,"

"Maybe in the beginning,"

"No,"

But she didnt want to think about what was next. She started this, and she was going to finish it. There was no reason to drag this on, it was only going to hurt more.

Her heart was his, why not just let him have her body. she would be lying if she said didnt wonder what it would be like, under him, his hands roaming her body.

She could end this, then leave. The West would be his, and she could go back, it was a win-win for him. She knew how to get around the baby thing, so it was just an issue of her virginity.

She did this; she had to pay the price, and perhaps, just perhaps, it was worth it if the West had its rightful ruler. She would do this for its people.

"Kagome?"

"I know what to do; leave it with me."

"Where are you going?"

"To do my duty, to save his honor and end this one-sided love,"

The room was loud, women and men arguing, angry at what had happened.

Kagome entered holding a tray of tea with two cups; so much for finding him alone, of course, she should have known better. She that the tray down and little hard and everyone looked at her.

Sesshomaru could smell her. She chose a one-layer silk kimono and it was clear by the nipples showing through that she wasn't wearing her undergarments. No wonder the scent of her womanhood was strong. What the hell was she doing?

She walked to him and looked up. "Did you rest well?"

"Did no one tell you Miko, another thought to touch what is yours," Another male stated,

"Did she?" She asked,

Sesshomaru growled "Miko,"

Kagome poked out her bottom lip "Well that's unfair, I haven't even touched you,"

"She is dead for it," He told her,

Whatever game she was playing it was good.

"Im a bit jealous now," She touched his chest "Kiss me?"

"Is that a dare?" He asked, playing along with her,

"I thought you said I didnt have to dare you,"

He smirked, wrapped a hand around her waist, and pulled her in. His chest pressed against his and their mouths danced. At first, it seemed a bit forced, everyone was watching, but then her hands ran up and around his neck, and something changed, snapped in him. He picked her up and sat her on a nearby table. He held her face with both his hands and he kissed her like no one was watching.

"Sesshomaru," She said when she had a chance,

"Leave us," He growled fiercely.

They scattered, and he looked at her. "Well played, Miko, you had me fooled,"

"Who said I was fooling?" She asked wiggling down off the table and walking to the tray. "I need a drink after that,"

"Did my mother speak to you,"

"Yes, but not about last night, Sango told me,"

"They want me to fuck you,"

She drank some tea and walked back to him.

"Will it end this?"

"I do not answer to them,"

"Dont you?"

"Kagome,"

She handed him the cup. He took it and drank the rest, and she sat back up on the table. He threw the glass "I won't,"

"Am I that bad?"

"What are you talking about,"

"Is sleeping with me so bad that you would give up your title,"

He was taken aback

"Or is it that you're enjoying this,"

He slammed his hands down on the table on either side of her "Your humanity has nothing to do with this woman,"

"Doesn't it,"

"It doesn't matter anymore you are my mate who else should I go to?"

"Who else do you want to go to?"

"No one,"

"Do you want to?" She asked, a blush growing on her face. She pushed one shoulder down "Sleep with me?"

"It is all I have thought about for the last two nights, it is only you who stops me,"

Suddenly something dawned on him,

"What have you done?"

"Do you feel it?"

"Kagome, dont," He wasn't going to play their game, and he wasn't going to steal her virginity to appease them.

He was Sesshomaru fucking Tashio.

"It's worth it right, your title, your land," She didnt let him answer because as his mother said dont ask questions you do not want the answer to.

"I dare you to do it, me,"

His mouth was on her neck, his hand at her ties. "Kagome,"

"Its ok,"

"You do not want this,"

"I, I do want you,"

"Then why trick me?"

"Because I can fool them, not you,"

Oh but she could, had, was.
