Under the moonlight. Prt 8

** I don't own the characters of Inuyasha. This is just for enjoyment. Thanks**
She smiled at him, "Sesshomaru.. I.. think I .. love you."
    Sesshomaru's looked in her eyes for a moment, he never had that word said to him before. Especially never knew how or what the word "love" meant. Until know, as he stared down at her the feeling was deep in his chest. Something he never experienced before. At least not at this magnitude! Back when ever he use to see her he'd feel tense and nervous, but he didn't think much of it. But, now with everything that has happened, and being with her now with this feeling.. Is it love? It must be.. he only feels it when he is with her, and only her. He smoothed his thumb over her cheek slowly. "I love you too." he said, giving one of his rare smiles.
    Kagome was happy to know he feels the same way she does for him. She blushed slightly and swallowed. "Sesshomaru.."
    He leaned in a little closer to her, "Yes, my love?"
    Having to blush more for being called his love, she bit her lip and said, "I.. want to mate with you.." Now that caught him off guard.
    He fully climbs over her, "are you sure? We can wait til you're ready."
    She smiles, "I'm sure, I'm ready as I'll ever be.. but.."
    "Hn?"
    "Be gentle.. It'll be my first time.." she blushed nervously. This news made Sesshomaru very happy, he figured she and Inuyasha have done something before. But, now to know he knew that she was pure and was willing to get her innocence to him, and not Inuyasha brought a smile to his face.
    "Of course, anything for you, my love." They began to kiss again, slowly starting to let their souls become one..
-------------------------------
    In the morning, Sango and Miroku got on Kirara and headed for the Western Lands they wanted to pay Kagome and Shippo a visit.
    While they left Inuyasha sat in his tree, then spotted a soul collector. "Kikyo.." He followed after it. As he came to a small clearing he saw the woman he been searching for. "Kikyo."
     She turned to face him, "Inuyasha.."
     He walked closer to her. "I been looking all over for you!"
     She smiled weakly, "Yes, I'm sure you have.."
     "You.. ok?" he asked.
     "No.." she coughs, "My soul is weakening.."
     He helped her stand, "What can I do to help?.."
     She looked at him grimly, "to stay alive... I need my soul back." ....
-------------------------------
     Sesshomaru and Kagome laid in bed together exhausted from last night. A servant lady came by and opened the door.
     "My lor-... Uh.." She looks down quickly.
     Sesshomaru now awake, "Yes, what is it?"
     "My lord, there are guest here to see Lady Kagome."
     "Hn." He nodded and she dismissed herself.
     Rolling over he kissed her cheek, "Wake up, love. You have guests." After a moment, she stretched a little.
     "Five more minutes.." she yawned. He smiled.
     "But, we can't keep the guests waiting.." she whispered in her ear.
     She moaned softly, "don't do that. Fine I'll get up." She slowly got up and made her way to her closest. He watched her every step, he smirked. Then he stood and got dressed himself and they headed down the hall together.
