Chapter 12: The Exceptionally Rare

It had been a couple hours since the sun had set and dinner had been eaten. Kagome stood just outside the entrance to the cave, leaning against the base of the cliff, and watched the night come to life. Even after night had fallen the temperature was still scorching causing Kagome to wipe her brow for the hundredth time that day. Koga walked out from behind the waterfall with Hakaku and Ginta following.

�Hey Kagome. It�s still hot out so we�re going for a swim. Care to join us?� This was the perfect opportunity for Kagome to get away and meet up with Sesshomaru, if he really did want to meet her and she didn�t misinterpret the roses meaning.

�Actually, I am tired. How about you guys go and I�ll take a short walk and meet you back here later?� She flashed a smile to add to the effects.

�Ginta, stay here with Kagome.� Koga told the one who was presently splashing his face in the stream.

�No!� Kagome put her hands up, nervously shaking them. She stopped and sighed. She calmed her jumpy nerves.
�No please. I just need some time alone. I know that you worry about me but with all your wolves around here and your keen nose,� She smiled sweetly and pointed to the wolf prince. �you won�t have to worry about any demons getting me.� �Except a certain demon lord�. Of the Western Lands.� She remembered Koga being a new demon lord and had to correct her thoughts. Koga thought for a moment.
�This is a great opportunity for me to show Kagome that I trust her, unlike that dog!�

�Alright.� Koga grasped Kagome�s hands. �I trust you. But please be careful. I will not look for you because I understand you need your privacy. So just come back soon and don�t go too far.� Kagome smiled at him.

�Thank you Koga. It means a lot to me.� Koga turned to run off toward the lake and Kagome secretly found her way up to the cliff directly above. She could only hope that her scent was strong enough on him that Koga would not realize just how close she really was to them.
As she reached the top, she sat far enough back that the splashing group would not see her. �I wonder how Sesshomaru will come here when Koga has scouts all over?� Kagome leaned back and sighed at the moon high above.
It was starting to get late and she wondered if he would even show. She also wondered just how long Koga would be in the lake so she could make it back to the cave before he did. Kagome smiled when she thought about the dream she had of Sesshomaru. She enjoyed the feeling she had all over her body when she woke and only wished that she could have that feeling again.

�Where are you?� She whispered.

�If you must know, Inuyasha is with the dead miko.� Kagome smiled on the inside. She was glad to see him but she didn�t want to hear about Inuyasha. She also didn�t want him to know what was really going through her mind or what her body craved, even though she was fairly certain that he could smell it. She tilted her head toward him.

�I figured he was but I wasn�t thinking about him.� Sesshomaru smirked.

�Pray-tell.� Kagome became rigid. �I can�t tell him I was thinking about him!�. Lie. That will work, right?�

�I was just thinking about�. Koga.� Sesshomaru could sense her increased heart rate and hitched breathing and knew she was lying. He bent down behind her and pressed his lips softly against Kagome�s ear to whisper.

�You know very well where he is. I know who you were thinking of.� Kagome quickly turned her head and her lips grazed his cheek. She was dumbfounded.
Both excuses and apologies tried to come out at once causing, �Sorimyouyah.� Sesshomaru turned to her and humphed with a small smile. She figured that was his way of laughing because she sure did sound like an ass at that point.

�You have a unique choice of words, if that were even a word.� Kagome came out of her speechless state and into shock. She looked into his eyes.

�Did you�. Did you just laugh at me?�

�I do not laugh.� Kagome blinked twice and a huge grin appeared.

�Yes you did!� Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. �Death glare!�
�So�. How�s that potion or spell thing coming?� She quickly changed the subject. Sesshomaru sat next to Kagome and pondered for a moment before he realized what she meant.

�Yes�. It is coming along well but will require more time.� Kagome tucked her knees under her chin and wrapped her arms around them.

�So, why did you need me tonight?� Sesshomaru�s stoic expression returned as he whispered into the night sky.

�I could tell you needed to be rid of those two.�

�Koga and Inuyasha? Yeah, I did but�. Hey! Have you been watching me?� Sesshomaru moved his eyes to her as he still faced the horizon.

�Hmm� That is of no concern to you.� Kagome turned to face him.

�What do you mean no concern of mine? Have you or have you not been watching me?� Sesshomaru completely turned his head towards hers. His silver mane glistened in the moons light while the wind tangled his long flowing tendrils.

�I have seen you�.� He turned back to his previous position.

�Well�.ok then. That was all I needed to know.� Kagome didn�t really know how to answer. �Inuyasha�s not here. How could I have needed to get away from him if he isn�t here?�

�Simply because he is not physically here does not mean he does not inhabit your mind�. What would you care to do tonight?� Kagome was caught off guard.
�What do I want to do?� Kagome turned and shrunk a little. �I want to fly again. I want Inuyasha to love me.� Kagome felt her heart fall with her last thought and without realizing what she was saying she whispered, �I want to find a way for the pain to go away.�
She lowered her head into her knees. Sesshomaru pulled her chin up with his fingertips and leaned in. Although her eyes were red and teary she saw what he was doing but her body refused to move. His lips slid over her cheek as he pushed through her hair. �Ok�. Maybe he�s not going to do that.�
�Let�s go.� Their cheeks were flush against each other as Kagome asked, �Where?�

�The one place you can only visit with me. Where neither the wolf nor half breed can follow�. To the skies above.�
Sesshomaru could feel Kagome smile. He stood up and offered Kagome his only hand for support. Kagome took hold and lifted herself next to him. This time she did not hold on for dear life. Instead she let Sesshomaru�s arm firmly but gently hold her against his chest as they rose to the steps of heaven.
She didn�t look away from his familiar eyes until the clouds were far beneath them. The moon grew shy and covered half of its face. Thunder was heard a distance away warning of a pending summer thunder storm. The stars winked at the demon and miko as if they were saying, �Twice in a week! That�s more than a friendship!�

�Sesshomaru. Will you please be honest with me?� Kagome asked while continuing to stare into the endless space. Sesshomaru took in a deep breath and looked annoyed as his gaze kept to the moon.

�I will not repeat myself after this�. I do not lie. It is dishonorable and I will not lower myself to such an act.� Kagome smiled when she heard the thunder again.

�Then please tell me why you are helping me?� Silence fell between the two and after a moment he spoke.

�As I have said before, it is none of your concern. You should not be worried about death by my hand, no matter how much you ask for it.� Kagome looked up at him as he continued to stare off.

�It�s just�. As long as I�ve known you, you�ve never done anything that you didn�t get something out of.� She watched in amazement as a devilish smirk appeared.

�That is true. Personal gain has always been a priority to me.�

�So what are you getting out of being nice to me?� His unemotional face returned.

�My intentions will be revealed in due time. For now, this conversation is over.� Kagome sighed and turned away. It was pointless to try to talk with him now. Silence was once again present as the two listened to the slow approaching storm. After a long while and many thoughts later, Kagome needed to speak. Many questions were flying by in her head and needed to be asked.

�Inuyasha said something about the white rose you gave me. He didn�t finish what he was saying and I couldn�t very well ask him what he was going to say. All I do remember was him asking me where I got it from and then he tried to tell me it was something else. So what is it?�

�The white rose as you call it is actually an ice god rose. It is exceptionally rare. Only grown in the coldest tops of mountains.�

�Then how did you come by it? Unless you had it planned.� She interrogated him.

�Reach into my inner pocket in my haori.� Puzzled, Kagome looked up.

�Why?�

�Because if I reach for it you will fall.� That sounded like a reasonable excuse for Kagome.

�Alright.� She hesitated. Sesshomaru felt her soft fingertips slide across his firm chest. They felt like down feathers caressing him. He actually enjoyed that touch but would not show it. At that time, they began descending back to the cliff above the lake. Still shaky, Kagome slipped her fingers into his hidden pocket and pulled out another rose. They landed as Kagome smelled the blossom.

�I will only reveal this to you as speaking it again would be foolish.� Sesshomaru glared poison at Kagome but that soon faded when he continued to speak. �My father gave my mother those unusual blossoms.� He turned his gaze away. �He continued to place them upon her grave after her death.� Sesshomaru walked near the boulder and sat as if to meditate.

�They remind you of your mother. Don�t they? That�s why you have them.� Sesshomaru remained silent. She knew he wouldn�t answer her.
A cool breeze blew as the storm was heard coming closer. Kagome did not want to return to the wolf pack just yet as she suddenly did the daring. She walked next to Sesshomaru and sat mere inches from his deadly claws. Although it would look foolish to anyone who watched, she knew he was not looking to kill her. At least not yet anyways. Kagome covered her knees with her arms as the air chilled more from the approaching storm. Sesshomaru had his eyes closed.

�Will you be departing?� He rather coldly spoke to her. Kagome took no heed and slightly smiled.

�Actually, I rather enjoy your company. Unless you would like me to leave?� She glanced up in time to see Sesshomaru quickly look away. Kagome blushed. She had just caught the ice god, himself, staring.
