She stumbled towards the pool, her mind stuck on his words.
"Woman, do you often get into the bath with clothes on?"
Kagome set the jug down before she dropped it. "I, um,"
"Why are you shy?"
Being shy was the least of her worries! But yes, she was shy!
"I am very much a virgin, thank you."
"I am well aware, come human."
She hesitated.
"If you do not aid me, I will pass out and most likely be locked in my beastly state until I heal on my own,"
It wasn't a total lie.
Kagome looked around the room. She could go behind him. She walked around the pool, and he knew what she was doing. Fair enough, he would allow it.
He heard clothing and then felt the water move. She slowly made her way to him. Slowly, she put water into the jug and poured it over him. He closed his eyes for a moment and let the healing power wash over him.
"Do you wish to know?" He asked,
"Know?" She asked,
"The truth,"
She bit her lip, and he could see the hesitation, but she had been wanting to know, and she needed to know.
"Inyasha is indeed foolish,"
Kagome put the jug in the water again. "Kikyo even more so,"
Of course, Kikyo was involved,
"It was she who told Naraku about the well,"
"But why!" Kagome gasped,
"He offered her something she could not refuse,"
Kagome blinked. "Life,"
"Foolish as all power comes at a price," Kikyo did not get her life back; the power he used on her was just as easy to take as it was to give.
Both of them should have known better.
"Naraku's plan was not totally successful as you were not on the other side,"
"I almost died!" She snapped.
"Yet you are not; tell me, would you rather be there than mated to me?"
Kagome reached out to touch his wound, and he grabbed her hand and yanked her forward as he leaned slightly, making her chest press tightly against his back. Her breasts were soft and warm, and he could feel her heart racing.
"Sesshomaru," She whispered,
"Inuyasha does not deserve your care,"
He felt her relax oddly,
"He does not love you,"
""Neither do you,"
"I care enough," He tugged her arm and placed her palm against his chest "Do you feel my heart?"
"Yes," She said softly, slightly shocked by the moment they were having. Was this all because she was his mate?
"Those who speak the truth have a steady rhythm; those who lie do not,"
His heart beat steady within him.
"You have to make a choice, woman,"
She swallowed,
"You should let me destroy the well,"
When she didnt say anything, he turned, keeping a hold of her arm; her chest was no longer pressed against his, but his eyes did not stray from her eyes. "Do you wish to leave me?"
She blushed.
"I will let you go if that is what you wish, but the link needs to go,"
Her heart drummed faster,
"If you wish to leave the one who protects you," He pressed,
"Do you still want to protect me?" It almost sounded like he wanted her to say yes.
He yanked her arm, and she fell forward, and his mouth claimed hers. The first kiss she got from him came flooding back, but this time, it was hotter; they were naked!
Nervous, she opened her mouth to say something, anything, but he took that opening to taste her. He was growing rather fond of this, and it was not something commonly done often between demons, but something about claiming her mouth did something for him.
His hands went to her waist, her hands went to his shoulders, and her mouth moved with his until he decided she needed to breathe. He broke the kiss slowly and kept his eyes locked with hers and his lips close.
"Does that answer your question, woman?"
