'Thoughts'

'Tetsusiaga's voice'

--------------------------------------------------------0o0--------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Three

Her New Protector

---------------------------------------------------------0o0-------------------------------------------------------------

She could feel it.

Kagome didn't know how or why, but somehow, someway, his emotions were
washing over her. And she had never felt more treasured in her life.

Sesshoumaru ignored InuYasha and Kikyou as he strode into the clearing,
his eyes focused upon the miko that was tied to the tree.

He had been surprised when his daily rounds had been interrupted by none
other than his father's sword, the Tetsusiaga. He wasn't ignorant, just because
he had never truly wielded or spoken to the weapon didn't mean he couldn't
recognize its voice when he heard it.

Start Flashback----

'Why Sesshoumaru...what brings you this far into the north? A
certain miko perchance?'

Stopping mid-stride, Sesshoumaru turned towards the direction he could
feel the Tetsusiaga's aura coming from, his expression thunderous. 'That is
none of your concern...what is it that you want Tetsusiaga?'

Deep laughter greeted him and Sesshoumaru nearly bristled in
exasperation, only the fact that Jaken and his ward were with him kept him from
doing such a thing.

'You are just like your father, always business. But you are
correct in your assumption Sesshoumaru, I do have a request to make of you and
I doubt that you'll deny me once you have heard me out.'

Raising an eyebrow in slight surprise, Sesshoumaru spared a glance down
at Rin's questioning face, "Jaken, take Ah-Un and Rin back to the castle.
There is something this Sesshoumaru must see to."

Jaken merely nodded his head in obedience before he turned and prodded
Rin with his staff, "move along Rin, you heard Lord Sesshoumaru." Rin
just smiled and ran quickly over to where Ah-Un stood waiting, "alright
master Jaken, be safe Lord Sesshoumaru!"

It took but a few moments before they had disappeared towards the west,
leaving Sesshoumaru standing alone in the forest. Walking over to the tallest
tree, Sesshoumaru sat at its base, having decided to hear Tetsusiaga out.

'You may proceed.' A snort greeted him before Tetsusiaga finally
decided to explain.

'Before I tell you of this offer, first you must understand that if
you decide to accept this, there is no going back. The life of my Mistress
rides upon what your choice is and I will not let you seal her fate unless you
are willing to admit the truth to her face.'

Confused, Sesshoumaru tilted his head in thought, 'tell me then, who
is your Mistress?'

'She is the one that haunts your dreams at night, the one that you
desire above all else, yet continue to deny yourself. She is Kagome Higurashi,
the shikon miko that travels with your half-brother. It is her that tortures
you, is it not?'

Tetsusiaga's voice was hard and unwavering, so much so that Sesshoumaru
knew his words were the truth. But what really got to him was the fact that his
hidden desires had been discovered, something that he had struggled long and
hard to keep in check.

'How can you know this...have you read my mind?! If so then what does
all this have to do with her? Has...has something happened?! Tell me, what is
going on now! I demand the truth!'

'She is in danger, your half-brother has decided to sacrifice her
to restore life to the dead priestess, Kikyou. I have kept her safe but my
power can only do so much before even it fails, that is why I have sought you
out. Are you willing to take the place as her protector?'

His back immediately straightened as his eyes narrowed in barely held
anger, a deep growl rising in his chest, 'if that bastard even so much as
lays one finger on her...' 'Calm yourself Sesshoumaru. Do not worry,
she is fine. But if you would be so kind as to answer my previous question,
then we can get onto more important matters.'

The exasperation was clear in the Tetsusiaga's voice, it seemed that he
didn't want Sesshoumaru getting off track. Fisting his hand in the ground at
his side, Sesshoumaru pushed down his desire to rip InuYasha to shreds and
focused upon what the Tetsusiaga had asked him.

'I would protect her with my life, but I have a question of my own.
Before you spoke of admitting the truth to her, what has this to do with
protecting her?' He had his suspicions, but he wanted to be sure before he
made a move.

'It is something that she desires. Kagome wishes for someone to
love her for her, someone who would never betray her and would stay by her
forever. I wish for her happiness and in order for that to be, I humbly ask
you, Sesshoumaru to take her as your mate and become the protector she wishes
for. So...will you do this?'

Sinking back against the tree, Sesshoumaru tilted his head back and
stared up at the sky above, 'only if I hear her consent from her own lips.
But I will protect her, whether she wishes for more or not.'

Pushing forwards, Sesshoumaru got to his feet after taking a deep whiff
of the air about him, he could just barely smell his half-brother's scent and
hoped that it was strong enough to lead him to Kagome.

'I will tell her so, thank you Sesshoumaru.'

He knew he didn't need to respond, besides, his mind was on more
important matters. 'Like tearing InuYasha limb from limb.'

End Flashback----

Seeing the woman that haunted him 24/7 tied and vulnerable like this was
enough to have his youkai snarling, demanding blood in retribution. Sesshoumaru
pushed that down though as he continued his approach, easily passing through
Tetsusiaga's barrier and coming to a stop before Kagome.

Her eyes were wide with surprise and hope, something that warmed Sesshoumaru's
heart as he took a deep whiff of Kagome's scent, causing his body to quiver as
the smell power laced within freshly fallen snow washed over him.

"Miko, do you know why this Sesshoumaru is here?" Kagome
trembled slightly as Sesshoumaru's cool words washed over her,
"y...yes."

Taking a step closer to the woman before him, Sesshoumaru let his tail
sway rhythmically behind him as he ran one of his deadly claws across her
cheek. "Do you know what it is that this Sesshoumaru is about to ask of
you?"

Feeling Kagome's heart begin to pound furiously in her chest, Sesshoumaru
trailed his claw up her cheek to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, "I...I
believe I do, yes." Feeling a smile begin to form upon his lips,
Sesshoumaru let his hand drop to his side as he took one final step towards
Kagome, causing their bodies to touch.

He could hear his brother's cries as he clawed at Tetsusiaga's barrier
furiously, but he pushed that thought aside, he had something more important to
tend to at the moment.

Bending his neck, Sesshoumaru gently pressed his forehead to Kagome's as
he slid his only arm about her waist, successfully securing her form to his
own. "Then, Higurashi, Kagome. This Sesshoumaru has but one more question
to ask of you."

Kagome's whole form stilled as her wide eyes gazed curiously into his
own, it took but a moment of silence before a spark of realization flashed
through her stormy eyes and Sesshoumaru knew that it was time.

"I humbly ask you, Kagome, if you would grant me the honor of
becoming my mate and the Lady of the Western lands." He could feel his
voice waver slightly as he finished speaking, his body was tense with the
anticipation of hearing Kagome's answer. 'I never realized how hard it would
be to ask her something like this, especially to the face like this...'

It was Kagome's voice that finally brought Sesshoumaru out of his silent
musings, "sshoumaru...before I answer your question, please answer
mine." Kagome had averted her eyes and was biting her bottom lip
nervously.

Releasing her waist, Sesshoumaru gently gripped her chin and turned her
head so that he could look her in the eyes once again, "ask."
Kagome's face had a light blush upon it as she licked her lips, forcing back
the desire to devour said lips, Sesshoumaru kept his expression impassive.

"Do you love me?"

He had expected such a question but that didn't stop the smile from
breaking out across his lips completely, it was a special smile, one just for
her. Instead of verbalizing his answer, Sesshoumaru decided that a
more...direct approach would be better.

Lifting Kagome's chin as high as he could without hurting her,
Sesshoumaru inclined his head, smoothly pressing his lips to hers. Kagome's
reaction was instantaneous, her body immediately arched into the contact and
Sesshoumaru had to struggle to not chuckle in pure amusement.

Releasing Kagome's chin, Sesshoumaru nipped lightly at Kagome's bottom
lip, causing her to gasp in surprise. Taking that opportunity, Sesshoumaru slid
his tongue smoothly into Kagome's mouth, letting the muscle trail across every
part of her mouth with the ruthlessness that he was so well known for.

As he did this, Sesshoumaru's hand drifted down between their bodies and
with one easy flick of his claws, Sesshoumaru severed the rope that held Kagome
immobile against the tree. The moment she was free to move, Kagome thrust her
hands into Sesshoumaru's long terraces and pressed every part of her body
against his that she could, all the while tugging roughly on his silvery locks.

Knowing that Kagome could only take so much before she would need to
breathe, Sesshoumaru tentatively broke the kiss, pulling back enough so that he
could see Kagome's reaction firsthand.

Her face was red with the exertion of the kiss they had shared, her eyes
were slightly glazed but he could see the acceptance in them and that was all
he needed. Wrapping his arm about Kagome's waist once again, Sesshoumaru was
about to lift her when she did something that he had never expected.

Kagome had guided one of her hands into the left sleeve of his haori,
gently touching what was left of his severed arm. Curiosity had gotten the
better of him at that point and Sesshoumaru remained still, waiting to see just
what Kagome was going to do now.

She began to glow a light, almost white, blue. Something that Sesshoumaru
immediately recognized and it warmed his heart at the very thought of what
Kagome was about to do. She was calling on her healing powers as a miko,
letting them wash over Sesshoumaru and thus healing any and all wounds that he
possessed.

It started out as a tingling sensation and disappeared before Sesshoumaru
could even blink. Kagome had restored his arm to him. 'This miko never fails
to surprise me and now she is mine...'

Smirking at his own thoughts, Sesshoumaru flashed Kagome a grateful look
before he lifted her, holding her with both his arms. Tetsusiaga's barrier
finally fell, it had kept its promise to Kagome.

Gripping the hilt of the sword, Kagome held it close, almost hugging it
in thanks. Sesshoumaru spared a glance over at his brother who was currently
stomping towards them, anger and hate radiating from every pore of his being.

Deciding that he didn't wish for Kagome to be put through anything
stressful, he turned and started towards the edge of the clearing, ignoring his
brother's shouts of outrage. "Let's go home."

Nodding her head, Kagome curled as close as she could to Sesshoumaru's
firm chest, entwining her fingers in the hair at the back of his neck, earning
a deep purr in response. 'Now I can finally have a chance at being happy.'

The shiver that went down his spine at the touch of Kagome's fingers made
up Sesshoumaru's mind for him. Letting his traveling cloud appear below him,
Sesshoumaru lifted up into the air before speeding off towards the western
castle, determined that Kagome would be his in all ways before the dawning of
the next day.

InuYasha was clenching his fists so hard that his hands were bleeding as
his quickly reddening eyes followed Sesshoumaru's quickly disappearing form,
rage and confusion had boiled up so much inside that he was unable to contain
it any longer.

"SESSHOUMARU!!!!"
