Chapter 13: The Recurring Dream

�You may do as you please.� Kagome could feel Sesshomaru tense. She knew that he knew that he was caught. Kagome soon broke the tension by a quick change in subject.

�So, Sesshomaru. When you first gave me that ice god rose, why did you prick my finger and mix our blood?�
Sesshomaru shifted his position by raising his right knee and stretching his left leg. He leaned against the boulder and propped his arm on top of his raised knee. He continued to admire the sky. �If you must know, it allows me to come into contact with you without the trouble of being sensed. The mixing of our bloods masks my scent and aura to those around you.�

Kagome gasped. She looked at Sesshomaru with sadden eyes. She felt betrayed. Her voice was low and shaky. �So you used me?�

�In a way�. However, it is of mutual benefit.�
Confusion crossed Kagome�s face. �What do you mean?�

�It allows me to be near you and help you with your pain. It also allows you to keep your secret about me from my idiot half-brother so that neither of us will have to put up with him. Not even he can detect it.� Kagome hung her shoulders and stared at the ground.
Noticing her melancholy and she jumped when he spoke again. �If you are worried about me stealing the Tetsusaiga by using you to cover my scent, you are wrong. I do not play games such as those. I shall earn Tetsusaiga honorably.� For some reason Kagome knew she could trust him. She knew that honor meant a lot to him. A moment of silence passed again before Kagome spoke up.

�So, if Inuyasha is about two-hundred, then how old are you?� Kagome was still nervous when she spoke to the demon lord but the sound of the approaching thunder soothed her nerves. She didn�t know why she found storms so calming, but every time the thunder and even lightning came, they surrounded her nerves in an unusual tranquility.

�I am approximately three-hundred�.. why do you ask such useless questions?�
Kagome sighed. �To be honest, I�m still a little nervous. And �. for the first time since I�ve known you, you are open enough to get to know. You answer without yelling at me�. Could you help me to understand Inuyasha a little better? Could you tell me about your father?�
Sesshomaru growled and squinted. His pearly fangs glistened. �You shall refrain from speaking of my father again. Am I clear?�

�Ok.� Kagome whispered while staring at the calming taiyoukai. �How about your mother?� She almost expected him to kill her for that smart-ass question but he calmly said no.

�We do not have the same mother and you may not ask about mine.�
Clouds now covered the sky and lightning flashed in the distance. A cold breeze made Kagome shiver as a blanket of goose bumps covered her body. Kagome closed her eyes and listened to the rhythm of thunder. She imagined the drum accelerando until the cymbals clashed at the end of the measure. She felt Sesshomaru�s hand snake around her waist and pull her next to his steady side. Her eyes shot open as she watched Sesshomaru pull off his boa and wrapped it over her shoulders and around her waist. Kagome could feel every curve of his muscular arm against her side.

�Thank you.� She whispered to the angelic figure who watched the clouds roll closer towards them.
To think that such a powerful demon could have such a heavenly figure made her think that they were not much different. Many people told Kagome that she looks of an angel but, she couldn�t help but feel significantly less. She did not deserve that praise. She had watched people die because of her negligence and she didn�t feel as bad as she thought she should have.
Kagome felt her body weaken as she yawned. She leaned next to Sesshomaru and laid her head on his broad shoulder. Sesshomaru�s eyes widen as he looked questionably down at the sleepy miko.

�Why do you not fear me?� He asked peacefully as the reappearing moon regained his gaze. Kagome hesitated for a minute before she answered.

�If you don�t mind, I would rather not answer that question right now.� Sesshomaru softly growled and Kagome realized just how rude that sounded to a lord.
�That�s not what I mean.� She sat up straight shaking her hands. �It�s just�. It�s so peaceful right now and I�d rather not chance getting into a fight over it.� Kagome continued to look at Sesshomaru who kept his gaze on the moon.
�A fight? Would it be considered a fight if he just killed me and I didn�t have time to blink? Maybe a one sided fight.� �How about I tell you later? I promise.�
Kagome shivered again and stared at the horizon. Kagome was shocked as Sesshomaru put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into him once again. This time he left his arm around her. Kagome couldn�t move but she concluded that even if she could, she wouldn�t. He was comfortable and warm and Kagome cuddled closer to him. She tried to find something to hold her attention so she wouldn�t do or say anything to upset the demon next to her. That of course ended with the next thing that came out of her mouth.

�Sesshomaru. Why don�t you have a mate yet?�. I mean it�s none of my business but, I�m just making a conversation. Ok. How about we forget I even asked?� Kagome stumbled over her words, panicking as she feared that she had insulted the killing machine. Sesshomaru gently caressed her raven locks causing Kagome to ease.

�Your question is acceptable�. I simply have not found a worthy mate.�

�What are you looking for in one?�
Sesshomaru paused for a moment as he thought. �I�m looking for someone who is�. forceful, able, strong. In other words someone who is powerful. I will not be able to protect them much so they must be able to fend for themselves. There are many more qualities that every female has lacked in one way or another.�
Kagome thought for a moment. �You know, no one�s perfect. I thought I was strong and able but, when I came here�. I needed Inuyasha to protect me�. I only have purification powers and those aren�t very useful to a demon�. I don�t even think I could fend for myself�. I don�t mean to sound rude and maybe you don�t feel the same but, if you�re looking for true love�. It doesn�t exist. I�ve looked all over and when I thought I had found it,� Kagome sighed. �he couldn�t even make up his mind over someone who�s dead compared to me.�
Kagome�s eyes dropped to the ground below. She felt the pain caused by Inuyasha overwhelm her heart as a tear slid down her cheek. A cool spot formed in the middle of her chest and Kagome realized that her heart was crying. She didn�t want to cry. She wanted to be stronger than that. But you can�t be stronger than your heart and Kagome�s heart was weeping. What else could she do but cry along with it?
Sesshomaru lifted her chin so she could look him in the eyes, the same mesmerizing eyes that she has stared into during her journeys. But these eyes held something that Inuyasha�s lacked�. but what? He leaned down and slid his cheek across hers to meet her ear.

�Cease the tears.� He whispered. �They diminish the beauty in your features.� Kagome gasped. �He�. He just complimented me, I think�. That�s not him?!�

�I must be dreaming.� Sesshomaru clasped Kagome�s hands and began to memorize the curves of her facial features.

�Why? Do I haunt your dreams as well as your reality?�
Still waiting to wake from her sleep, she closed her eyes and in a hushed silky voice, replied.

�Yes.�

�Did I do this in your dream?� He whispered back. With her eyes still closed, Kagome felt his soft lips press against her own.
�My dream. I must be dreaming. But it feels so real. I don�t want it to end. I want to feel this warmth inside me.� His lips were tepid and desirable. She parted her lips as he took full advantage to taste her. Their tongues began to dance before Kagome leaned in and deepened their kiss. �I want to feel him. I want to taste him. I want more!�
Kagome felt a heat pool in her pelvis as she knew she was becoming aroused. �Oh! Who wouldn�t want to be with this demon? He�s so much like Inuyasha and he�s also not alike. They may look alike but there are significant differences, and out of those differences I�. I like this one. I don�t feel guilty at all. I really thought I would feel bad about betraying Inuyasha with his brother but�. It feels so right. Now if only I weren�t dreaming.�
Sesshomaru could smell her arousal and it quickly did the same to him. �Fool! She is a human!� �Why not use her and relieve your sexual frustration? Get what you want and leave?� �No! She is too�. I cannot disgrace her. I will not follow my father�s path.� �But your body needs her touch. Give in to its needs�. Besides, she is already on her cycle and will not conceive. Just do it!� �That would be dishonorable. She is too virtuous to be a concubine. She deserves better�.� �Like your brother? He does not deserve her pleasing smell�. You do though. You need her.�

Sesshomaru broke the kiss and Kagome moaned at the loss of his touch. She still had her eyes closed as her hand moved up to her lips. The wind blew and Kagome felt a chill overcome her body. As she opened her eyes, Sesshomaru was nowhere to be seen.

�Sesshomaru. Where did you go?� Kagome looked around searching for the seraphic demon lord. Lightning struck nearby and Kagome jumped. �It was a dream. Wasn�t it?�. But it felt so real.�
Kagome stood up and grabbed her bag. As she bent down to pick up the white rose that had fallen, she realized that she was already holding a rose. Kagome gasped. �Maybe it wasn�t a dream after all.� Kagome smiled and smelled the roses as she made her way down the cliff to Koga�s cave.
Just before she entered the cave, she turned and looked back the way she came.
�Sesshomaru.� She whispered into the night and turned to enter. She tried to think of excuses to tell Koga as to why she was so late, but her mind was preoccupied. Sesshomaru�s golden eyes watched every movement as she left his sight. He faintly heard what she whispered over the thunder clash and beginning rain. He caught himself whispering back, �Kagome.�
