212. Two Halves of the Same Whole

Sesshomaru let out a sigh and slowly sat up and turned so he was sitting on the edge of the bed. He stared out the window and had no idea what time it was. He got so lost in the moment that time was unclear. He glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was five in the afternoon.

"It's what a full fledge youkai can do. When concentrated hard enough I can see your aura… your soul. Like I have explained before, we are connected. Two halves of the same whole. So we connect our souls and become one. You will change. I have changed." He said softly but knew she could hear him.
He heard her rustling around and he felt the dip behind him when she crawled behind him and placed her hands on his bare back. "So it will happen…" she didn't really ask.

He nodded his head and looked over his shoulder and looked back at the window. "Yes."

She was quiet for a while and he wanted to know what she was thinking. But he waited patiently for her. "So, I will change?"

"Yes. For as long as I live you shall live. For as long as you live, I shall live. No one grows old. But if one of us were to experience something tragic or life threatening, it threatens the other. We can not live without the other."

"But how do you know it's me? How come it's not someone else?"

He turned and grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to him. He leaned down so his lips were mere centimeters away from hers. "Because."

Her breath caught in her throat and she stared into his golden eyes. "Because?"

He leaned in and kissed her passionately. She moaned and kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled away from the kiss and looked down at her. "You will find out."
