Chapter Eight:

"Nothing has changed," Slys face was hard and set with determination and hatred. "I will kill him and live out my life happily. I will not risk her life in this matter. So we are not mating untill I have killed him. Although," His expression lightened a bit with humor as he continued, "It is going to be hell with her tempting me day in and day out. She's a vixen!" He pointed an accusing finger at Kagome as she blushed so deep Sango worried if she would ever return to her normal color.

"You never did tell me why you seek revenge against him." Sly gave her a look as if saying 'you have to ask?!' She held up her hands, "Just curious."

Sly sighed and sat back down at the table. "It was three years ago when I was taking my little sister out hunting. It would have been her first time and I was going to teach her all the skills she needed to know. We didn't get far when we came across a demon that had a shikon shard. Before we could react Naraku had showed up and killed it. My sister was killed in the proccess. I went into a rage but he shifted and dissapeared. Since then he has also managed to kill two others close to me. They were dear friends and I vowed to avenge them." Kagome grabbed his hand and squeezed as tears welled up in her eyes. Weather it was for her comfort or his, she wasn't sure.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't broken the jewel that never would have happened to you sister. I'm so sorry." Kagome bent her head in shame, and slowing let go of his hand. She was shocked when he wouldn't let her go.

"It is not your fault. Do you hear me? You did what you had to to keep it out of a demons reach."

"Yes and it ended up in several demons hands. So either way I failed." Sly scowled and shook her by the shoulders.

"You are not to blame for this! I don't blame you, my sister wouldn't blame you! You did what you had to, what you felt was right. It's all anyone can do." Sly lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, "You did not put the shard into that demon, you did not send Naraku there and you did not kill her. You did nothing." Kagome nodded but her tears were still shinning in her eyes.

Sly sighed as he pulled her in for a hug. "The sooner we get the shards the sooner we can confront Naraku. We'll leave tomorrow morning." Kagome said as she gathered strength from Sly.

Her friends smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sly lead her back to her room once they had finished dinner and she yawned tiredly as they reached her door. He opened it and walked her in, his arm still supporting her around her waist. Situating her on the bed he couldn't help but feel the domesticness of his task and grinned at the idea of doing this on other nights. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow and he smiled sweetly at her while brushing a strand of hair from her face. He kissed her forehead and headed to the door connecting to his room. With one more glance at her he turned and went about getting himself ready for sleep.

The next morning came early and Kagome was one of the first people up. Sesshoumaru had been up for two hours already and it was only dawn. Kagome bounced up and ran to get her clothes and things ready. She paused in her task as a wicked smirk played across her features. Still in the sleeping yuakata she didn't remember putting on last night she crept over to the door connecting her room to Sly's. She peeked in and noticed him still asleep on the bed. Her grin widened and she silently crept closer to his bed. Without warning she tackled him screaming 'Wake up!' while he shot up and fumbled with the tangle of sheets he had gotten himself into.

Kagome fell back on the bed laughing while Sly's eyes took on a murderous glint. He reached for her and began to tickle the life out of her, his fingers dancing across her ribs and sides. "Uncle! Uncle! I give up!" Kagome weezed, sucking air into her deprived lungs.

"Uncle?" Sly looked at her oddly and she blushed.

"It's a term we use in play fights...Um.....like 'mercy'." Kagome tried to explain as she put her hands behind her to lean on. Of course this action pulled the yuakata across her chest giving Sly a nice view.

Kagome looked him over and just realized he was nude. He had been covered by his blanket earlier and she hadn't thought he would sleep in the nude but now it was plainly obvious as the sheet began to fall away from his hips. Kagome blushed and looked back to his face. His eyes were laughing at her and he raised an eyebrow, "Modest?" Kagome's eyes widened at the implication that one word had, as her blush settled in for a long stay on her cheeks. Sly waved the matter away, "No matter. You'll see me soon enough, as I you." He grinned at her, his canines glinting in the morning light.

Kagome huffed and looked away from him, willing her cheeks back to a normal color, "Your impossible." She mumbled.

Sly growled something then tackled her, holding her hands beside her head as he kissed his way up her neck to her lips. Kagomes eyes were wide in shock but they soon drifted closed as the sensations washed over her. "Mmm."

"You like that?" Sly pulled back enough to speak but his lips still brushed across her skin as the words came out. Kagome gave him a look that clearly said 'Yes and you know it so stop asking' and he chuckled. Sly kissed her hard and long

He let his passions go at that moment and for the next hour and a half both were completely oblivious to everything besides the other. "Mine." Was the last thing either of them heard before they drifted off into a light but pleasant slumber, thoughts of their love making playing in both of their minds.
