Chapter 7
Kagome woke still in Sesshomaru’s arms. She was groggy as she had spent most of the night lost in thought rather than dreams. To say the previous day had been overwhelming was an understatement. She hadn’t expected that getting up the nerve to comb the daiyoukai’s hair would have ended up like this. She felt her stomach flip as she remembered just how good having him touch her and kiss her felt. He’d liked it too, if the hardness she’d felt had been any indication, and he wanted more. First kiss, first time, he had said. Kagome could only assume that meant he expected there to be more.
She couldn’t believe this was actually happening. She wanted it though, really wanted it. Sesshomaru was beautiful, strong, and surprisingly kind. She’d known he wasn’t without a heart as she had on more than one occasion witnessed his interactions with Rin. Up until a few weeks ago she never expected to be on the receiving end of affection from him. He was affectionate too. Hell, he’d even cuddled her and held her after getting her thoroughly worked up. Kagome was starting to think that the Lord of the West might actually be a romantic. She was unable to stop the soft snort of laughter that came along with that thought.
Behind her Sesshomaru stirred and his grip on her waist tightened, “You are a strange woman.”
She twisted her neck around to look up at him, “What makes you say that?” She sounded mildly affronted.
“All night you have shifted from emotion to emotion. Anxiety, nervousness, arousal, and now amusement. It is most confusing.”
Kagome huffed, “Well, I find myself traveling with a daiyoukai who has me most confused!”
Sesshomaru arched a brow at her, his look incredulous, “This one was under the impression that he had been extremely straightforward.”
“Yes, well! That is the confusing bit!”
“Ahh,” Sesshomaru placed a kiss to the side of her neck before pulling her up with him as he stood. “Let us return to our travels. The sooner we leave the sooner you may visit with your friends.”

Just two days later Kagome and Sesshomaru were entering the budding new slayer village. She was nervous to see how her friends would react to her still being in this era and having waited so long to seek them out. Sesshomaru was guiding her steadily to the main house of the village with his hand resting on the small of her back in an effort to bring her comfort.
The few people that were bustling about had immediately noticed their arrival and were already rushing to the large structure at the rear of the settlement. Sango and Miroku would know of their presence before they reached the door.
As it was, Kagome and Sesshomaru were only a few steps from the house when the couple stepped out to greet them. Both looked surprised to see her and shared a look before Sango launched herself at Kagome and embraced her tightly. Miroku noticed the youkai lord step back and remove his hand from Kagome just before the two women hugged and exclaimed over their reunion.
“Kagome-chan! What are you doing here? I thought you went home! I can’t believe it! I thought I’d never see you again!” Sango was rambling excitedly while holding Kagome’s elbows and looking at her fine clothing appraisingly.
Kagome fidgeted under the scrutiny, “It’s… it’s kind of a long story Sango-chan. May we come inside?”
Miroku stepped aside and held the door to the house open, “Please, Kagome-sama, Sesshomaru-sama, you are most welcome in our home.”
It seemed to Kagome that it took hours to explain just how she ended up under Sesshomaru’s care and a member of his household when in reality the tale had only taken a matter of minutes. The group sat around a small, low table and Miroku had made them tea.
“It is quite fortunate that Sesshomaru-sama offered you a place in his household,” the monk said as he filled his cup.
“Yes, I am very well taken care of.”
Sango eyed the demon lord, “No offense, Sesshomaru-sama, but why exactly did you offer Kagome-chan a place to stay?”
Sesshomaru merely blinked. His old mask was back in place now that he and Kagome were no longer alone. “The miko was in need of housing. She is pack. Her place in this one’s household was already secured.”
“I see. And you mean to take care of Kagome-chan? She will be safe with you?”
Kagome was starting to feel as though everyone had forgotten she was in the room at all, “Sango-chan! Stop it!”
The daiyoukai placed his hand lightly on Kagome’s shoulder and she relaxed immediately as he spoke, “Her protection is guaranteed. No one would dare harm that which belongs to this Sesshomaru.”
Sango and Miroku exchanged another look. “Perhaps you would like a tour of the village, Sesshomaru-sama? I believe the ladies have some catching up to do.”
“That would be acceptable.”
The men rose and left Kagome with a very inquisitive Sango.

After fielding a lot of very personal questions Kagome was able to somewhat convince Sango that her worries about her place with Sesshomaru were unfounded. She found herself repeating over and over that the demon lord was endlessly good to her and she was quite happy with him. No, he hadn’t come to drop her off. Yes, she intended to stay with him indefinitely. Maybe, there was more than duty and respect to their relationship.
They were headed out of the house into the village in an attempt to find the men, they didn’t have to look far though, as Miroku and Sesshomaru were walking back toward the house. They weren’t speaking to one another but Kagome thought the silence seemed companionable.
When the men stopped in front of Sango and Kagome the miko fought the urge to rush to Sesshomaru’s side so he might act as a shield between her and her overly inquisitive friends. She toyed with her hands and looked at him in askance instead.
“How long will we be visiting, Sesshomaru-sama?”
“As long as it pleases you to do so.”
Miroku interjected, “Please at least stay for the evening meal. If you wish to spend the night I can offer you a hut. No ominous clouds included!”
Kagome laughed at her old friend and looked at the daiyoukai, “If that is agreeable to you, I’d like to stay.”

After a simple meal with Sango and Miroku the miko and demon lord found themselves alone in a mid-sized hut. It was a single room with a cooking area, table, and enough space for the two futons Miroku had brought in. A-Un was outside and Sesshomaru had brought the saddlebags in with them.
He rifled around a moment before retrieving a bottle of sake and seating himself against the wall. He pulled the cork and raised the bottle toward where Kagome stood combing out her hair. “I don’t know about you, but this one could certainly use a drink.”
Kagome laughed as she sat down next to him, “Was it that bad?”
Sesshomaru took a slow pull from the bottle before passing it to her, “The monk had a lot of questions. He seemed very earnest in his attempts to assure himself that my intentions are honorable.”
Kagome took a small sip of the sake; the sweet, warm liquid was comforting after the long day of intense conversation and the somewhat awkward dinner she had shared with her friends. “I am sorry. I hadn’t expected the interrogation I got either. Though, to be fair, neither had I anticipated the change in our… relationship.”
Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled the sake bottle from her with his other hand, “Hmm, are we in a relationship, now?” His tone had taken on the teasing lilt that made Kagome inexplicably nervous.
“I, uh, that is to say…. we, hmm—”
“Relax, Kagome. Why is it my flirting distresses you so?”
“Flirting! Is that what you’re doing?” She turned to look at him, her eyes wide and expression disbelieving.
The daiyoukai took another swig of sake before replying in that same mischievous tone, “I realize I am somewhat out of practice, but I was unaware I had become so inept as to make the action unrecognizable.”
Kagome huffed and lightly jabbed her elbow into his side, “You’re a dreadful tease, Sesshomaru-sama.”
He leaned down to whisper into her ear, “I assure you, I have every intention of following through. The monk was within rights to be concerned, not all of my intentions are honorable.”
Kagome tried to ignore the warmth that settled in the pit of her stomach at his words, “We can leave tomorrow, right?”
He pressed a light kiss below her ear, “Absolutely.”
