A/N: Reviews! I hadn't expected any reviews. Thank you so much. I used to dabble in fanfic many many years ago under a different penname. I have been going through some stressful things lately (nothing too dramatic, just annoying really) and this has been my bit of escapism. Once I realized just how much time I'd been putting into this I figured I might as well post it somewhere. Thank you for reading!

Chapter 5
By the third day Kagome had become used to Sesshomaru picking her up. If she were to ride A-Un he would lift her into the saddle, when they stopped he helped her down. Her heart still quickened at the feel of his hands on her, but she figured that was normal when dealing with gorgeous beings.
They only flew the first day, Sesshomaru had expressed his desire to put some distance between themselves and the palace at the onset. Kagome wasn’t sure where they were or where they were headed, but she was enjoying herself. Once they broke camp in the mornings, Kagome would walk alongside Sesshomaru, A-Un slightly trailing behind. He was clearly in no real hurry as he allowed her to stop for any reason at any time.
They talked as they traveled. Kagome asked about his life before she’d met him. Tales of growing up at court were fascinating to her. She was beginning to understand why Sesshomaru kept his thoughts and reactions so closely guarded. Clearly it had been a necessity and something he was groomed to do for the role that he was to grow into.
In turn, she told him about her life back home. It was a bittersweet feeling to talk about her family. No one had really expressed much interest in the details of her homelife before. Kagome discovered just how badly she wanted to go into specifics. She didn’t want to forget anything about her family. She missed them very much, and she was surprised what a good listener Sesshomaru was. He would interject with extra questions or the occasional insight and for her that was proof enough that he was actually paying attention.
At the moment, it was just midday and Sesshomaru was in the middle of a story about knocking over a vase in the palace’s great hall during a rather important meeting of the four lords.
“The vase had been a gift to the House of Inu no Taisho from the eastern lord nearly a millennium beforehand, and at the sound of its shattering every daiyoukai in the room turned their focus to me. I was only just over half a century old at the time, father was quite displeased with me.”
Kagome kicked a pebble on the path in front of her and laughed, “I cannot imagine you ever being anything but grace and perfection! To imagine a young Sesshomaru-sama causing a scene in front of all the nobles!”
“This one was quite the rowdy youth. In fact—” Sesshomaru suddenly stopped, inclined his head to the left, and sniffed. “You had expressed your desire to bathe in a spring, had you not?”
Kagome’s focus was instantly shifted, without thinking she grasped Sesshomaru’s arm and bounced excitedly, “Yes! Are we near one?”
Sesshomaru turned to face her and placed his left hand on the curve of her waist as he did. Tilting his head back he explained, “About half a ri in that direction I hear and smell some sort of water source.”
Kagome’s eyes lit up and, in her excitement, she seemed not to notice the extra physical contact. “May we go?”
“I wouldn’t have told you about it otherwise.”
Sesshomaru clicked his tongue at A-Un and when the beast stopped beside the pair he lifted Kagome onto its back. When he slid his hands from her waist down to the curve of her hips and gave a slight squeeze before slowly releasing her, Kagome definitely noticed. There was no mistaking that the action had been intentional. Kagome felt her breath catch and she looked to Sesshomaru who was staring at her face intensely. He took a deep breath of his own before forcing himself to break eye contact and lead A-Un into the forest.
Where had that come from? He hadn’t even thought about what he was doing when he caressed her hips. She was just so enthused and she clung to his arm in the most inviting way, her breasts had pressed into him and he could feel her heartbeat. She hadn’t seemed to mind his attentions either, if her scent was anything to go by. Fighting the urge to growl, Sesshomaru focused on leading A-Un and his miko to what he really hoped turned out to be a useable body of water.

While Sesshomaru himself may be confused, his senses were not and they had in fact happened upon a rather beautiful spring. Kagome was grateful for the privacy that taking a bath had afforded her. Sesshomaru left her under A-Un’s watch while he went to settle a camp nearby the water.
Kagome couldn’t deny that she found the daiyoukai to be very attractive, and in the time since she’d been with him she found she was interested in more that just his physical appearance. He was a good man, he treated her well and went out of his way to do things for her. Whenever he touched her Kagome seemed to suddenly remember that she was a twenty-year-old woman who didn’t ever get much affection.
She hadn’t had much time for romance while fighting demons. She’d also spent so much time pining after a boy who could never truly return her feelings that she allowed other opportunities to pass her by. One of the problems with being a displaced, thoroughly modern woman was that Kagome was fully aware of just what she had been missing out on. The thought that Sesshomaru might be interested in her, might want her, was unexpected but thrilling. She had never entertained the idea beyond fantasy, now, her mind buzzed with the idea that it might actually be possible.
When Kagome finished bathing, the two-headed dragon led her to the campsite Sesshomaru had set up. She was somewhat surprised when he announced his intention to bathe as well. She decided to busy herself with detangling her hair and dug through A-Un’s saddle bags until she found a comb. A short time later, Sesshomaru returned with wet hair and several fish which he set aside to roast for a later meal. He sat not too far from Kagome and used a cloth to help wring excess water from his hair.
Deciding that she wanted to be brave, and that she really wanted an excuse to touch him, Kagome offered to comb his hair. She was fairly surprised that he agreed. Sesshomaru sat cross legged and Kagome kneeled behind him and slowly ran the comb from his scalp to the ends of his hair. He leaned back into her touch and she allowed herself the thrill of stroking her fingers along the nape of his neck and over the arch of his ears as she separated segments of hair to comb. When she was finished she set the comb down and made to stand but he turned quickly and grasped her wrist. He lightly tugged her down and she sat back on her heels. The hand on her wrist pulled her toward him while his other found its way to the side of her neck, his thumb slowly stroking along her jaw.
Kagome gasped and stiffened. “Sesshomaru-sama?”
“Are you frightened?”
See looked into his eyes, her heart was pounding but her voice was steady, “No.”
His focus dropped to her lips, “Good.” He slid his hand up to cradle the back of her head, he leaned forward deliberately, slowly, giving her a chance to pull away. When she made no attempt to remove herself he pressed his lips to hers.
