Chapter 1
You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wanders lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced..
It all started with a chance meeting. He was caught in the arms of the undead miko again and the living one had run off to be alone. She had grown rather tired of his mood swings and disception.
It was a nice warm summer evening. It wasn't too hot, but with the heat of the previous day and the cool air from the stream made it comfortable enough. The fireflies had started to come out and dance around attratcing their mates for the season. She had her knees to her chest and couldn't help the feelings she felt.
'I'm always going to be second best. He will never see me as me, just someone to find the shards and put things back together so he can be happy with her.'
She didn't notice that she was being watched. Kagome sobbed softly trying to hide inside herself. The daiyoukai wasn't one to meddle in the affairs of his half-breed brother and his companions, but he couldn't help but to feel, dare he say, sad for the miko. He stepped out from the shadows and looked down at her. "Why are you upset miko?" She tensed and jumped slightly, startled to even see him there. "You scared me Sesshomaru-sama.."
His face remained calm and emotionless, "Answer my question." Kagome had looked away and watched the stream by her feet. "Why would you worry about how I feel?" He knew she was right, why did he care? He never seemed interested before, but now seeing her upset he wanted to beat his brother to a pulp. "This Sesshomaru was curious. However, I can see you would like to be alone with your grief." As he turned to walk away she gasped and held out her hand, "Wait! Stay... please."
He nodded and sat down by a tree, "As you wish." There was an awkward silence and Kagome wasn't sure why she wanted him to stay. She didn't even know what to say. "Care to answer my previous question miko?" She sighed and rested her chin on her knees, "I prefer not to say.." He looked up through the leaves in the tree trying to see the sky, "I take it the half-breed is with the undead miko again?" Kagome felt her heart break again and she tried to hold back fresh tears.
He sighed inwardly and reached out to grab her arm. She was shocked when he pulled her to him and into his lap so her head was resting against his chest. Kagome closed her eyes and gripped his haori hiding her face into his chest. He just held her close letting her release anymore pain she had inside. Through the smell of salt from her tears he could catch her scent. It was of cherry blossoms and strawberries and he had to admit that it was a pleasing scent.
Kagome sat back from his chest and gasped, "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to get my tears on you." His expression softened a little as he gave a 'hn' reply. Sesshomaru placed his hand on her cheek and used his thumb to brush away any more tears. She blushed softly looking at him, her deep blue eyes met his golden ones. Kagome tilted her head into his hand closing her eyes and he brought her lips to his.
The feeling of her lips on his made his beast growl low in approval. She was surprised when she felt passion and almost love in the kiss. It was her first real one and it felt right. He was gentle with her and she shivered when he lightly ran his claws over the skin of her neck. Kagome released a softly relaxed sigh and he krept his tongue into her mouth brushing it against her own.

Kagome had woken up to the sun peaking through the trees reaching her face. She stretched and looked around to see he was gone. She sighed and got dressed, blushing as she rememered that night. It was the most passionate thing she had ever experienced and had never expected that Sesshomaru of all people who would have made her a woman. Deciding she wasn't going to deal with an irate hanyou she decided to go home and seal the well. She needed time to herself and being at home would help her think.
It was at this time she was glad she had ran away with her bag and not leaving it behind. When she got to the clearing of the well she looked around making sure no one was near by. Seeing the coast was clear she ran out and lept into it without hesitation. Once on the other side she made sure to seal it so he couldn't come after her. She decided to take this time to say hi and get a bath.

Inuyasha was very angry to find the well was sealed and he couldn't get through. Sango and the others didn't blame Kagome for returning home for a while. Inuyasha complained that it would set them back in finding the jewel shards, but the others were glad for the break.
There was one person who also needed time to himself to figure out why she had slept with the miko who traveled with his half-breed brother. It wasn't like him to bed a human, but this wasn't an ordinary human. She was cleaner than most humans and she was very powerful. His beast had made up its mind that it wanted her as a mate, but Sesshomaruw as having a hard time trying to figure out why.
'She is strong in power and spirit. She makes a perfect mate. Pups will be strong coming from her.'
He hated to admit his beast was right. Any offspring they would have would be powerful. Sesshomaru decided to wait for her to come back to confront her and ask to court her. He waited this long and waiting a little longer wouldn't hurt.
