It was almost midnight when Sesshomaru came back to Kagome's house.
He expected her to be asleep already but he found her sitting on the couch surrounded by the dark.
"Sesshomaru," she breathes his name out in relief. "Where have you been? I was so worried! You don't know your way around here and—"
He put his index finger on her lips, silencing her. "This Sesshomaru is already here."
He heard her heart beat thunder in her chest, he saw the flush on her cheeks even in the dark, and he saw how her eyes fluttered when he touched her rosy lips.
"You must sleep." He whispered as he traced her bottom lips lightly.
She blinked a few times before nodding. “You, too." She whispered back.
He pulled away from her and she shook her head slightly. She walked upstairs and he followed. Opening a door, she mumbles, "This is my room."
She has a small room that so simple and bright.
"Hey, uhm, you can't sleep here," she said, looking embarrassed. "You can sleep in the couch, I already put a blanket there…So..."
"I understand," he replied without tearing his gaze away from her face.
"Goodnight..." She said, smiling softly.
He inclined his head but before he could move out of her room, she speaks, “Uh—Sesshomaru-sama?”
He looked back, “Yes, Kagome?”
“I—I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings and—“
Unable to stop himself any longer, he walked towards her and took her face in his hands. “Why are you doing this to me?” He asked intensely.
“W—what do you mean?” She asked while her pulse jumped.
“You’re making everything difficult for this Sesshomaru…” He said, sliding his cheek against hers.
“Do you feel the way I do right now?” Kagome asked with an almost bitter voice, as if expecting rejection.
“I say I love you when you’re not listening, miko.” He whispered, kissing her cheek lightly. “Perhaps, now is the time to make you hear it. I lo—“
Kagome stood there, stunned. But she managed to stop him. “Don’t. Sesshom—“ And he kissed her until everything disappears in her mind replaced by the dreams and wishes of tomorrow with him.
“Kagome.” He whispered her name almost in worship.

The next day, she rolled out of her bed with a stupid smile on her face. She put a finger on her lips, remembering all the sweet kisses last night and giggled.
She quietly descended the stairs towards the living room, her heart pounding in anticipation. Where is he?
“Sesshomaru?” She called out.
“Yes, love?” He replied from behind her.
A blush painted her cheeks then, he hugged her tight before lifting her in his arms. She squealed.
“Hey! Put me down!” She said.
“You truly want me to?” He asked, his golden eyes alight with playfulness.
“Nope.” She answered with a giggle. “But, we need to eat. I’m starving.”
With a kiss on her forehead, he put her down.
“Unfortunately, there’s nothing left in the ref.” She said. “I think I should go the grocery for a while.”
He nodded. “I’ll come.”
Kagome’s eyes widened. “No, you’re not.”
“Yes, I will.”
When she saw the determination in his eyes, she gave in. He’d do whatever he wants anyway.
“Okay, but you need modern clothing without those swords and armor.” She said. “Come on, you shower while I prepare your clothes.”
“Shower?” He repeated in confusion.
“Oh, bath.” She said. “Come, here’s the bathroom. You turn this to the right for the water. That is the soap and the shampoo. I already explained to you what it is. I’ll go now.”

“Sesshomaru! Come out now!” She yelled.
Gracefully, he walked out of the room and Kagome almost fainted.
Where did the oxygen go?
“Are you well?” He inquired, seeing her face.
She managed to nod. He looked like a model. No. A god. He wore her late father’s black jeans, blue shirt, and a black cap on his head. How could he look so hot with those?
She cleared her throat before saying, “Okay, let’s go. Remember, no killing. No growling or snarling that could show those sharp fangs. No violence whatsoever. Stick with me. And—“
“I know, Kagome.” He replied, staring at her.
She gulped. He looks so—hmm—yummy. Kami, Kagome! Control your raging hormones! She scolded herself while walking outside. Be calm and—Oh no. He is holding my hand!
She crumbled into a pile of female hormones and squeals down the rough road.

Sesshomaru took Kagome’s hand in his huge ones and tried not to gag by the foul smell around here.
“Where are we headed?” He inquired.
“Grocery.” She replied.
“What is a grocery?”
She seemed amused at him. “It’s a store where we buy food.”
Suddenly, she seemed nervous. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…uhm..we’re going to take a train. There’d be many people there. Some are pushing other people in order to get inside…Try to control your temper. Okay?”
He nodded.
When he saw the train, he’s filled with awe. A human invention. How could they become so intelligent like this? Humans are packed inside, and they smell awful.
It started to move very fast. Some humans were pressed at him. He wanted to throw them away but he can’t. Kagome would be very mad if he does so.
He must endure this. He won’t decapitate anyone or torture them with poison. He must never do that. He must—
A filthy human boy who smelled like a rotten fish sidled behind Kagome who is in front of him. His eyes glittered with lust upon seeing his miko. He stared at her body as if he wanted to devour her whole.
His golden eyes turned crimson.
Patience, Sesshomaru.
But when the human let his filthy hands slide on Kagome’s buttocks. He lost it. His patience snapped and he lunged at the human. His clawed hands gripped his soft neck and let him dangle in the air.
