So Beautiful

If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
-Billie Myers


Kagome stood there in shock, had he just willingly caressed her face? She was still standing there when the rain began to pour soaking her from head to toe. She then tried running to try and catch up to Sesshomaru but slipped on the slick wet grass and ended up tackling him from behind instead. He slipped and fell landing face first in some squishy mud with Kagome sprawled out on top of him. She scrambled away from him quickly when they started sinking.

Sesshomaru slowly peeled himself out of the mud, the sucking sound disgusted him just as much as the mud itself. He turned to Kagome fully intent on giving her a piece of his highly pissed off mind, but stopped when she took her yukata sleeve into her left hand and gently grabbed his chin with her right hand and started washing away the mud from his face the constant rain helping her along. He watched her face as she worked, she was captivating her face full of concentration as she wiped the mud away.

It seemed wrong for his face to be covered in dirt he was too...beautiful? Yes that was the only word that fit him best. She didn’t know what had come over her, but she soon found herself washing his face maybe it was to return the favor for the care he had given her. She knew he was looking at her and she couldn’t help the blush that lightly painted her face.

Before either of them could realize what was happening Sesshomaru had Kagome pulled into his lap his lips against hers wanting and needing her to accept him, she returned his kiss opening her mouth and allowing his tongue to slip in and dance with her own. The world became muggy and foggy around them as the rain and humidity collided.

The kiss ended slowly both panting for air staring in each other’s eyes, but then more water started to pour this water was salty and came from Kagome’s eyes.

“Why did you do that?” she asked looking at him like he’d stole her ice cream and popped her pink balloon as a kid. He knew she was fragile mentally and he knew that her self-esteem was low to non existent and he knew he really wanted to kiss her again someday.

“I wanted to.” he answered. It was the truth after all. She slid off his lap and stood up and turned with her back to him her arms crossed she stared through the rain at the field they were in. He stood and stayed behind her waiting for her to say something.

“Please don’t do it again it hurts my heart too much, because I wanted you to Kami knows I did but you don’t love me and my heart is still being pieced back together.” she explained as she turned to face him. He felt guilty for the first time in his life she was right he didn’t love her but the image she created soaked with rain while she wiped the mud from his face had been too much for even him to resist. He nodded and began walking back to camp once again.
