and the other's run away

Sesshomaru pulled Kagome up but did not push her from his lap. Her hand went to his shoulder as his arm rested around her waist.

"We should return," He said but made no move to move.

"I dont think they are returning,"

"Yet then it is discovered we will be discovered,

"I thought you said we were the kink and queen," She teased. "I mean, what is your mom going to do, spank you because I would pay to see that,"

"We are unmated and alone, Miko,"

"So," She looked away, "We aren't kissing, remember,"

"I do not have to be kissing you woman,"

"So just being alone with you here puts us in the same cells as them?"

"They already think I am using you for pleasure," He said huskily,

"I am a virgin,"

Sesshomaru smirked. "One can be a virgin and still be used for pleasure, Miko and my scent is always on you as yours is always on me,"

She looked at him. "A lot of trouble for nothing?"

"You sound disappointed, Miko,"

"Stop calling me that,"

He pulled her tighter against him. "It matters not,"

Kagome dropped her hand from his shoulder. "Then-" She looked at him. " Yes, you do, you always have,"

"I do not-

She leaned in and covered his mouth with hers. It took all her guts, but damn it, she was sick of him. It was a lie and a truth. If he didnt care and it didnt matter, then she was taking the chance. She might not be able to face him tomorrow, or perhaps she would have some secret in her back pocket for another day. Not that she would ever hurt him.

She almost pulled away, but then his mouth moved with hers.

To him, it was one chance at freedom from everything. One chance to see what his father saw, he felt. He took in mild satisfaction that his brother was somewhere freaking the fuck out. He had to reward her, after all, for being brave enough to do it. No one had ever done this to him before; none would dare try, only her.

Only Kagome, and even this was out of the norm for her person. Then again, she was no longer a young girl; she was becoming a woman.

This would keep him grinning for a long time in his own head, and he could use this to tease her in the future, not that he would use it against her to hurt her.

Suddenly, he wondered how many times they could get away with this.

Her mask fell, and he felt the shift in her, her bravery gone, her fear spiked, and she slowly pulled away even though they both wanted more, though neither would dare say.

His golden eyes bore into hers, then to her swollen red lips.

"Sesshomaru," She whispered, and his eyes veered up to her again. "Kagome,"

Her breath hitched, and she bolted.

He was left sitting here, empty-handed and thirsty for more of what he could not have.

Kagome ran. What had she been thinking? Clearly, she wasn't. She ran all the way back and right into his mother.

"Lady Miko, where have you been at this late hour?"

A million lame answers came to mind, none of which would fool her.

What had she been thinking?

But then, he had kissed her back.

His mother smirked. "All that for his name on your lips?"

Kagome blushed, and her heart picked up. "Or, is there something more on your lips?" His mouth reached out, and ran her thumb over her lips.

"It's not what you think,"

"My dear, It is not what you think,"

Kagome shook her head, making the woman drop her hand. "Nevermind that, we have a bigger issue,

"Do we?"

"Another has run away,"

"Yes, my son,"

"Not him,"

Kagome walked over to the door that was supposed the house the other female and opened it. "Her,"

And why had his mother not noticed? Because she was too invested in their little runaway.
