Her saying she didn't to be treated differently rang loud in his head as his eyes settled on her demon human form. He now realized that was going to be harder than he thought. Kagome had always been a decent-looking human. Not overly glamorous per se, but naturally pretty.

Kagome's golden honey eyes stared at him, wide and almost dare he say frightened look in them. Her hair was much longer, and fuller now. Her face matured some in a good way. Her clothing fit tighter on her, not because she was bigger per se. Her breasts were fuller and she was slightly taller. Her hips had more shape though she had not given birth yet. Her nails were now small claws.

Sesshomaru pushed her hair behind her ears and locked his eyes on her pointed small ears. His finger traced her ear. He was in shock though he would not admit it and he hoped she didnt notice. Her scent was slightly different. Though she looked more mature, she was looking at him like a hopeless lost pup.

She didnt want to be treated differently and she was afraid that she was going to be different. She was and she wasn't.

He rubbed her ear and she gringed.

"Kagome,"

"Can you stop that," She shivered and he pulled his hand away.

She looked at her hands and then back up at him "I look different dont I?"

"The same yet changed,"

Kagome looked around, almost frantic, "Water,"

"Can you not smell it?"

"I smell too much, Feel too much," In other words, it was too much, "It's loud and my skin is bothering me,"

His touch felt good and yet burned at the same time.

He wanted to whisk her away, hide her, but his scent over her. It was taking a lot not to pay attention to his desires.

"Come," He told her, turning. To his contentment she followed close, she was paranoid he knew. He wondered, if there were others here, would she still choose to follow him closely? She was so close that she was almost touching his back.

As soon as she heard water she bolted past him. She was faster now but was able to stop fine, at least she had control there.

Kagome fell to her knees and looked down. It wasn't the best way to see one's reflection but it was all she had. The smell of the water was nice, the sound though was too loud. But she wondered, how would it feel. She reached out and closed her eyes and the cool feeling.

"How does it make you feel?" He asked,

"Like I want to be naked," She said out loud before thinking.

He looked around. It would be safe for her as far as others being around, but maybe not safe from him.

"Try drinking,"

She cupped the water and drank. It was cool and fresh and slightly different.

She still wanted to dive in. "Is Naraku, dead?" She tried to keep her mind off wanted to shed her clothes.

"He is,"

She looked back at him "Where are the others,"

"We will go back to them when you are ready,"

She looked back at the water. She wasn't sure what she was ready for.

"I think I need to be clean,"

"Hn," He was going to turn around but she didnt even wait. Her clothes were shed but he didnt get a peek at her ass, her hair hid it from him.

He watched as she slipped one toe in and then the whole foot and then she dove down under the water. He watched her as she swam under. He wondered for a moment if she wasn't part water demon.

Kagome came up and breathed and then looked at him "Why do you not do this?"

"Who is to say I dont?"

She raised an eyebrow.

"I do in the confines of the West, bathing as you are is a vulnerable state,"

She tensed "Should I not have?"

"I am here, you are safe,"

Blush crossed her face. She dipped down more, her chin touching the water "So you're not coming in?"

A growl snuck up from the bottom of his throat, "Into the water, or into you?"

Kagome shot up. He now got a full view of her fuller breasts. Her body was blushing.

Fuck.

His swords dropped, yeah he was going in.
