One of the guys in his group of friends got up and made his way over to Kagome and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru growled and grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her onto the beach, he did not feel the need to start a pointless fight, a fight he would win no contest.

They were standing on the steps of the tiki bar watching the waves crash. "Thanks," Kagome said not looking at him. Sesshomaru looked down at the small woman and she looked up at him. At that point, Sango had come back. The guy who just wanted to apologize for his friends pointed her in Kagome's direction, there she saw Sesshomaru looking at Kagome and Kagome looking at him, their hair dancing together in the wind. Kagome's skirt brushed against his leg, it was a romantic site for people who were not romantic with one another, Sango sighed...oh kagome

She was afraid her friend was headed for heartbreak lane, again. But then she watched as Sesshomaru leaned down and kissed Kagome full force. The kiss was hot, Kagome knew what it meant. He was pushing his lips hard against hers like it would be their last kiss it's our last kiss isn't it sesshomaru? She knew it was, she knew it was his way of telling her one night of passion and nothing more. Sesshomaru pulled away and left, Kagome waited a few moments before running up the beach and onto the steps, she wanted to stop him but she would not. She only needed him that one night, she only wanted him for that one night, only loved him that one night.

Sango came out and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder "You alright?"

Kagome placed her hand on top of Sango's and smiled. "I'm fine,"

It was the perfect ending to an imperfect thing.

The next day Sesshomaru came out to the pool to speak to his father. The first thing he saw was Kouga, and then the next thing he took note of was that Kouga was holding Kagome, and then Kouga jumped into the pool with her. Everyone was swimming, even the half-breed and the other woman. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and then looked at his father, who was sitting in a chair.

"What is the meaning of this?" Sesshomaru asked, his father knew he was asking about Kouga.

"I invited him to come down, looks like everyone is having fun no?"

Sesshomaru did not find his father amusing, he turned and walked back inside.

That night Sesshomaru left his room to go to the bar, oh how he needed a hard drink. As he left he heard her giggle and saw them leaving, they were going somewhere and he told himself he did not care. Sesshomaru found his way to the bar and drank, never speaking to any of the women who sat next to him. Kouga took Kagome out to dinner, she had agreed to go, after all, everyone else was out on a date. After dinner they went and saw a funny movie, it made Kagome forget everything that had happened the last few days. After the movie, Kouga insists they go to the little fair, where they met up with Miroku and Sango. Kouga won Kagome a cute stuffed animal.

Once they returned home Kagome found herself going to Kouga's room, why she did not know. He kissed her once in the room and she stayed very still. She was not one to bounce from guy to guy, or do things like this. Kouga kissed her and they moved to his bed. Kagome sat and watched as Kouga took off his shirt. Kagome fought with herself, she knew she should not do this, this was not like her. But then again she was asking herself why not? Inuyasha had chosen Kikyo and Sesshomaru she should just forget, nothing was going to come of that. What was she supposed to do, be by herself the rest of her life? No.

Kagome found herself letting Kouga close to her and it was sweet. It was not hot or passionate or wild. It did not take her mind off things, it was just what it was, 2 adults having sex, but it was sweet and soft and Kagome found herself just going with it, following her mind and not her heart.

Outside stood Sesshomru, his hand balled into a fist that he didnt even know he was making. He had seen Kagome go into Kougas room and he knew what was going on now. He found himself wondering if she was saying Kougas's name. Sesshomaru made his way to his room and in no time found himself packing, he did not want to be here in the first damn place. He found himself having flashes of him and her and the night they spent together. Her on his bed, her on his desk, her nails on his back, he saying his name. Sesshomaru growled and finished packing, he was going home.

Sesshomaru had the bellman come and get his stuff and then he left his room after calling his father to inform him he was leaving and leaving now, his father tried to stop him. Sesshomaru slammed the door to his room and walked down the hall. He stopped when he saw her, she looked at him and the bag in his hand. "Are you leaving?" She asked,

"Yes," He then walked past her and did just that.
