Summary: Sesshoumaru offers Kagome assistance

The morning drizzle, soft and intermittent, took a harder edge that afternoon. Sesshoumaru, driving home through city streets, saw a familiar figure standing in the rain, futilely trying to shield her head with a newspaper. He was reminded of the first time they had spoken, when he had given her a ride home.

He pulled over and lowered the window. "Kagome, wait in here until the next bus comes."

A flash of lightning made the decision for her; she threw the sodden mass of newsprint in the trash and got in his car.

"Thanks," she said through chattering teeth.

"You're shivering. Would you like me to just take you home?"

Her face couldn't hide her conflicting emotions. "I don't think it's a good idea. Here's my prediction: you'll kindly offer to walk me to the door; I'll invite you in on the pretense of having tea; I'll go to change, but instead exercising my usual good judgment and putting on something comfortable, yet frumpy, I'll put on that silk robe that's practically see-through. Then you'll follow me into the kitchen, where we will completely forget about making tea."

They stared at each other, tension and desire between them thick and hot.

"Kagome, would you like a ride home?" he repeated.

Later, naked and sweaty between the sheets, his fingers combed through her damp hair, and hers traced the markings on the sides of his face.

"So are you prescient? Your prediction was uncanny in its accuracy."

"Just smart," she smiled.

"I've missed you."

Spoken aloud, his confession after weeks apart soothed both of them.

"I've missed you too."

He kissed her neck, thinking that something that felt so right couldn't possibly be wrong. He would deal with the fact that his mother had found him a Youkai bride tomorrow.
