Chapter 114 - The Prince *Fairytale* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Sesshoumaru was panicking. When he first woke up, he felt more relaxed than he ever had before, and he spent a great deal of time mentally reliving what was hands down the best night of his life so far. The feel of her body molded to his was incredible, and the scent of their activities lingered in the air. It wasn't until Kagome shifted and her hair brushed across his neck that he realized it.

His fur was no longer around his neck! When had he lost it? What if she noticed? He could confess his secret now, but that was exactly it. He wanted to tell her, and not have her discover it. What if she saw the scar and drew the same conclusion as Inuyasha had when he noticed it? Then he might not get the chance to explain things. She had been devastated by the loss of Prince, and he had allowed her pain to continue when he could have stopped it, all for his own purposes.

The taiyoukai was trapped. He had no idea where his moko-moko had gotten to, and he couldn't have retrieved it if he did. Having his angel's body entwined with his had quickly gone from heaven to hell, as he could do nothing to hide his scar until she moved. He had no idea if she had spotted his scar during their night together, but she hadn't said anything. He imagined that she would get angry at his deception, so he assumed she hadn't seen it. Since he could not cover it now, he spent the time thinking of how he would explain himself. He would crawl on his knees and beg forgiveness if necessary. He could only hope she took his confession well.

Kagome sighed and shifted slightly against Sesshoumaru. She felt the moment he realized his situation, and she knew that they would have to deal with it as soon as she opened her eyes. Why did everything have to be so complicated? She deduced from Inuyasha's hinting, why he hid it from her, but she didn't know for certain. She needed him to explain his reasoning to her, but first she needed for him to relax.

"Sesshoumaru," the miko whispered, her voice thick with sleep. "Calm down."

The taiyoukai tensed further. She was awake and apparently could sense his inner turmoil. What the hell was he going to do now?

"Kagome, I..." he started. His voice cracked with his nervousness, fearing that he would lose her just when he finally had her.

"I know, Sesshoumaru. I've known since yesterday morning."

"Known what?' he asked her. He needed time to formulate a plan, and he needed confirmation that she knew what he was afraid she had discovered.

She smiled and opened her bright blue eyes, looking deeply into his. "That my life really is a fairytale, and that my Prince came back to me the only way he could. All I don't know is why you didn't want me to know."

"You are not angry?"

"Why would I be angry? I can't imagine that the great and powerful Lord Sesshoumaru would want to go around telling everyone that he'd been made weak, even if it was only temporary. Was that the horrible thing your mother did to you?"

"It was," he replied. "I did not want you to know until," he paused, searching for the right words, "until you fell in love with me, in this form. I did not want your heart confused. The situation seems so similar to that of Inuyasha, you, and the dead miko. I did not want you to be unsure which me you loved and I feared that if you did find out, your love would never truly be for this Sesshoumaru, but for Prince instead."

Kagome looked up at him with compassionate eyes. "I get it, but the love I had for Prince is nothing like the love I have for you. They are two very different things. Neither is dependent on the other, nor are they mutually exclusive."

"But the barrier... My inquisitor learned that the barrier could be brought down only by a woman who loves this Sesshoumaru. You could sense the spell bags long before you and I became close. The spell must have sensed your love for Prince."

She smiled. "I don't know why I could sense the bags, but I do know that I fell in love with you a long time ago. I was just too confused and afraid to admit it, even to myself."

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened in surprise while his lips quirked up in a genuine smile. "You did?”

Kagome caressed the stripes on his cheek. "I did, so you don't have to keep hiding this anymore." She ran her fingertips along the scar that ringed his neck, watching in shock as it faded away before her eyes.

Sesshoumaru felt as his neck began to tingle and immediately knew what was happening by the expression on her face. 'Why now?' he wondered. He couldn't understand why the scar hadn't healed the second he returned to his humanoid form. Things would have been so much easier if it had, but it did not go away until the woman he was so intent on hiding it from touched it. What did that mean?

"It's gone," she exclaimed softly. "It's like it was waiting for me, so that I could be certain you were my Prince."

"I am not your Prince," Sesshoumaru whispered, gently caressing her cheek. "I am your Lord and you are my Lady. I love you, Kagome."
