I once mentioned in previous chapters that the fic was basically inspired by a song. i've been borrowing the titles to the lines in the song. This is the song I'm talking about: Alanis Morissette's Head Over Feet. I think it's a very, very romantic song and it suits the fic perfectly.

disclaimer: I dont own Inuyasha and the song Head Over Feet belongs to its owners.

Chapter 23: Head Over Feet

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it...
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You asked how my day was

There. She said it. What more could he want from her?

Her arms flapped down heavily on her sides, as if she surrendered in defeat. Her head was bent down, afraid to see his face – that face that could only bear a calm expression. She was afraid that it might, this time, show disgust at her sudden revelation. Her lips quivered and tears still fell from her eyes. Damn whoever created the notion of love!

"I answered your question. Now, go away," she muttered, still refusing to look. There was no reply, not even a hint of movement from Sesshoumaru. What could he be thinking, feeling at the very moment? She wanted to question but what good would it do her? "You've got your answer. Now, leave," she said in half-whisper. Kagura took a step away from him but his strong grip reached for her arm. She wanted to pull away but her outbursts drained her strength. Plus, she was weak when in contact with him. Kagura felt his other arm enveloping her, his left hand travelling to her back, pushing her closer to him. Their bodies met in an instant and Kagura felt her knees weakened. Sesshoumaru's right hand released her arm; he used it to lift Kagura's chin. He looked at her sincerely.

"That is all the answer I need to hear…"

You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

The last of his words were muffled inside her lips. A new sensation, something she never felt before, enveloped Kagura as Sesshoumaru gently probed her mouth with his. The kiss was slow, sweet and intimate. Soon, the longing from both of them could no longer be contained. It turned passionate and raging. He pulled her closer to him and her body crushed against him. Kagura's hands reached up to ruffle his silky hair, then travelling to frame his face. They were both breathless when the kiss ended. Kagura realized she was on tiptoes, and the only thing supporting her body was Sesshoumaru's arms on her hips. A single tear escaped from her eyes and Sesshoumaru softly wiped it away with his thumb.

Words were not spoken between them in the elapsed time. Both of them trying hard to come up with something, at least convey what was in their mind or heart.

The kiss ended but the embrace lasted for more than a moment. Words are not enough.
