Meant To Be

Kagome knew what to expect to see when she had followed Inuyasha to the forest, but she had set her hopes high like the other times this had happened.

They finally came to a stop by the tree where it all began for her and Inuyasha she quickly hides behind a small tree watching them talk.

Inuyasha ears twitch as Kikyo sets her hands on his arms "Why don't you just let me take my copies replacement you love me not her. She's the fake, why not have the real thing."

Inuyasha ears lowers as he ponders "Alright Kikyo why don't you join our group and you can find the jewels for us, we'll just use Kagome to help protect you from danger."

Kikyo smiles leaning in kissing Inuyasha on the mouth as Kagome gasps tears streaming down her face she quickly turns and runs away from the scene going to a nearby river.

Kagome proceeds to sit on a rock, burying her face into her arms as they rest on her knees, sobbing 'Why would you do this to me Inuyasha especially everything I done for you and what we been through'.

Kagome sobs louder until she senses someone near her, causing her to look up to see Sesshomaru about to kneel in front of her holding his hand out towards her as if he was about to touch her.

Sesshomaru looks at her calmly before placing his hand on her upper arm, pulling her towards him, placing one hand on her head and the other around her waist holding her to him.

Kagome gasps about to resist, but relaxes into his hold, then grips his Haori tightly crying into his chest as he holds her in place comforting her.

A few minutes pass before she calms down finally done crying, she takes a peek at Sesshomaru he looks down at her "Tell this Sesshomaru what has made you upset so wo-Kagome"

Kagome takes a slow breath "Lately Inuyasha has been going into the forest to meet with Kikyo like always but this time she asked him why settle with the fake copy of her and not the real thing so she told him to leave me for her."

Sesshomaru waits for the rest of the story patiently as she tries to get her emotions under control "H-he said ok join our group and become the seeker for the jewel and he said I'll be there to just protect her and then they kissed how can he just replace me like that with everything we've been through together."

Kagome grips Sesshomaru's Haori even tighter resting her head on his chest "Then why not join this Sesshomaru's group and bring your friends with you"

Kagome head jolts up tears of happiness coming to her eyes "Really? You'd do that for me?" Sesshomaru nods slightly watching her features change from hurting to happiness.

Kagome smiles, then all of a sudden she feels her cheeks burn with embarrassment realizing how close they are and attempts to pull away but Sesshomaru's arms stop her.

Sesshomaru looks her straight in the eyes, making Kagome freeze in place and acts on instinct slowly moving her face closer until she could feel his breath on her face.

Sesshomaru watches her closely then closes the distance, making her gasp he takes his chance and slides his tongue in causing her to moan once they pull away she tries to catch her breath.

Kagome blushes even darker "W-why did you kiss me?" Sesshomaru smirks slightly "Maybe we are just meant to be"
