Full Summary: It started off with a single spark. The attraction was intense; neither of them could've fought it even if they'd wanted to. It left them broken, lost without the other, if they couldn't participate in the act that brought them to brink of sweet, sweet paradise and loving sacrifice.
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or any of the characters. I only this plotline and a good portion of tea and sugar, that keep me going.

Epilogue
Kagome stared at her young hands skeptically. She waved them directly in front of her face and even pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
"Kagome."
The voice she hadn't heard for so long suddenly graced her ears.
Kagome spun around. Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
Sesshomaru was standing less than a foot away from her. He looked no different to the last time she'd seen him in the Feudal Japan. When he had pushed her down the well…
Kagome threw all caution to the wind. She bolted. Running towards him, she leapt.
Sesshomaru easily caught her. He brought Kagome close to his chest and buried his head into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent. How he had longed for her.
"Sesshomaru… are you real? Not just a figment of my imagination?" Kagome whispered as she fought back her tears. He felt real, but there was still a slight lingering doubt within her heart.
Sesshomaru lowered his head so he was nose to nose with Kagome. His gold eyes burned into hers. Without so much as saying anything, he kissed her gently. A simple mouth on mouth, Kagome whimpered and urged him to deepen the kiss.
Sesshomaru smirked against her mouth. He bit her bottom lip and ran his tongue along it before pulling away. There would be plenty of time later to, his eyelids lowered lustfully, reacquaint her with his touch. The tightening in his silk pants agreed readily with him.
"How has Yume been?" Sesshomaru questioned suddenly.
Kagome snapped out of her daze and grinned. This was definitely her Sesshomaru. "She is well though Shio seems to think otherwise. He often jokes she way too serious and bossy just like her father. Which by the way, I happen to full-heartily agree with."
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes playfully. He suddenly lifted Kagome up, and somehow managed to wrap both her legs around his waist. "You tread on dangerous ground, Kagome," he growled warningly, grounding his erection against her.
Kagome gasped. Her eyes nearly rolled to the back of her head. Too long she'd gone without feeling him all because of the Shikon no Tama. The stupid thing, having separated them till they could reunite in…
Her eyes widened. To be here with him, meant she must've passed away in her sleep, in her favorite rocking chair.
Surprisingly, the thought of being dead did not bother Kagome as much as she assumed it would. She'd lived a long life, died old, and had accomplished many great things. Yume would be saddened, but would come to accept her mother's death as well as Shio, her daughter's mate.
Kagome was brought out of her current thoughts by Sesshomaru's chuckling.
"Lost in that head of yours again?" he asked a little too innocently.
Kagome pretended to be offended. She gave him a mock scowl.
Sesshomaru laughed out right then.
The sound of it sent butterflies skyrocketing within Kagome's stomach. She dropped her gaze to his delicately, crafted mouth. Watching with fascination, as it slowly closed as his laughter went away.
Sesshomaru's eyelids lowered as he smelled the spike in Kagome's scent, her arousal. "It's time we crossed over, Kagome," he said. "Is there anything you need to do before we depart?"
Kagome brought her hand up and lightly traced her fingertips over his mouth. She lifted her head then and smiled lovingly at him. "No."
Sesshomaru gifted her with a small smile before he snatched her mouth up into a passionate kiss. Just as something soft enveloped them, and they vanished in a single spark of light.
