I really loved this chapter. I cried when I reread it and I must say Sesshomaru and Kagome pairing is truly the best out there an without further Ado

Chapter 14: Eternal Love.
Wringing her hands nervously, Kagome sat within the moving vehicle as she watched the world go by in a muted rush. The flickering lights of street lamps became a blur of orange fire as they raced down the streets in uncomfortable tensed silence. She avoided looking at the seething being next to her. His silence belied the turmoil running through him. Gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles, emotions stormed through his expressive golden eyes. Peeking a look beneath her lashes, she felt her heart reinforce its pounding as she felt the tension rushing out of him in waves. Fear came then; uninvited and she couldn’t stop the melancholia that settled on her shoulders.

After all these years, here he was. He had hurt her when he had denied their children and now he wanted to pretend that he wanted them. And she was not mistaken. His stricken look had said it all. If she could get her hands on that meddling Inuyasha she would sit him to the opposite side of the world. How dare he make these kinds of decisions? He never even bothered to ask her, her reasons for keeping her children away from the older Taisho.

With a huff of annoyance her anger escaped and laid way for the depression to reaffirm itself. Her shoulders sagged in fear as she thought of the talk that would come from this confrontation. He was a powerful man and he could take her children away from her if he wanted too. She really didn’t want that. She loved her children. They were her life. Her hands clenched against her heart in pain at the thought of them being gone from her. Memories flooded her mind…

--------------------

Opening her eyes to a world after her acceptance of her pregnancy, Kagome was faced with three women, two of them she knew quite well, her mother and Shiori. The other was Shiori’s older sister who owned a multimillion-dollar firm in England.

Looking into the worried face of her mother she knew that the older woman was worried and needed to know what had happened. Her eyes refused to meet with that of her mother’s, in shame as she remembered her last encounter with the Inuyoukai. A sob caught in her throat as she felt the hands wrap around her slouched form. She took in the sweet familiar scent of her mother and was comforted.

“I know it’s hard baby but you must tell us what is going on. We need to know what happened? I did not like getting a call from the hospital telling me that my baby was about to die.” Her voice caught in her throat. “I never want to get a call like that again. You know with the death of your grandfather, it’s been hard for me. I do not want to lose another loved one. Please tell us what happened?” she pleaded to her little girl who suddenly didn’t look so little anymore. Her Kagome was a woman. Smoothing the hair of her only daughter, she patiently waited along with the other room’s occupants.

Looking up into the eyes of her parent, Kagome’s cheeks heated up. With a boost of courage, she told her story. She knew what they were thinking when they heard it all, but she wouldn’t keep it from them.

“… then that Saturday, I went into work. Remember Shi how the meeting had been postponed? Well suddenly the boss he-- he attacked me. He was so angry accusing me of all kinds of outlandish things. I had realised that he was Sesshomaru from the past, but I hadn’t realised yet that he had been my Dark Lover. It wasn’t until he touched me that I knew. And his anger angered me even more as he was angry for something I didn’t even do. So…” her words trailed off in embarrassment.

“One thing led to another and we ended up having angry sex in his office. I knew that I went willingly but in the beginning I knew he wouldn’t have listened to me even when I begged him to stop and it made me feel dirty that he had changed our special connection into something so vile and disgusting and… and…” she choked on a sob, her head bowing so she couldn’t see the anger in Shiori’s eyes as she listened to it all.

“I left but then he came to find me, I just didn’t want to see him. I hated him at that moment. I hated everything about him. It was after he left that it happened. I remember waking up with such pain. I had never felt so much pain before. I lay there suffering for hours. Only finally I forced myself to call Shi as I couldn’t think anymore. Next thing I know, its so cold and then darkness.”

She looked to everyone to see their reactions. Her pale face was tear stained as she retold her twisted love story. “I know that we ended it bad, but I don’t want him to not know about his child. I know he hates Hanyou,” she whispered the last bit showing her insecurity of him accepting her child. “But I really don’t think it’s fair to keep it from him. He has to know.” Her eyes pleaded with them for their understanding.

There was no judgement from her mom or Shiori and her own sister. All she saw was understanding and a little anger. Shiori was the first to speak. “I don’t think you should tell him. I remember the tales you used to tell me about him and his brother how he always tried to kill him. You shouldn’t tell him.” Her words laced with a malice that had Kagome looking at her with surprise.

“I know but it’s not my place to take away his knowledge of his child. If he does not want to know him or her well then I will accept it but it’s not my place to make the decision for him.” Her voice was firm with her conviction as she looked at her friend, a pleading underlying the words.

With a mighty exasperated sigh, Shiori gave in. “Fine but on one condition. I will go bring him here tomorrow. If he accepts your child then I will forgive him for hurting you… in time. If however he does not accept it then you will move with my sister and I to England. She wanted to protect you from the pain of bearing a hanyou child in this prejudice environment. England, they are more accepting of such things.”

The sister took that moment to say her piece. “When Shiori told me of her plans I must admit I was a little hesitant as though I know that Shi had a bad time with her encounter with a Youkai I didn’t know if yours was bad. But after hearing this story, I am more than happy to give you the assistant VP position within my firm. Shiori took the liberty of showing me your resume and I believe you will make a great addition towards our success.” She gave Kagome a warm smile, feeling sorry for the ordeal the young woman had gone through.

Kagome had agreed hesitantly, positive that Sesshomaru would accept the child yet when Shiori had returned with his message her heart had shattered. ”He didn’t want a hanyou child. He had only used her for the novelty of fucking a ningen.” Her decision had been easy then. With a heavy heart she had said good bye to everything she knew and loved in Japan and as soon as she was given the leave from the hospital she had left the country to make a home for her and her child in England

--------------------

As the memories faded, Kagome felt sorrow at those heart-breaking words, yet here he was now, pretending that he had not said them. Maybe he had thought she would abort the child. Maybe that was why he was so shocked. Did he believe that she was so uncaring? Those thoughts resurfaced her ire and with a stoked fury she demanded coldly, “I would like you to turn this car and return me to my children.”

He ignored her as he pulled into a driveway of an elaborate mansion. Lost in his own thoughts, he turned the engine off to escort her to the house that was his vacation home whenever within the country. With a grace practised for centuries, he slipped out of the vehicle, completely ignoring the fury coming off his companion in violent waves. Opening her door for her, he offered his hand. With a huff and a slight rising of her chin, she disregarded the hand and walked out on her own accord. She didn’t know what to expect but she was not going to let him soften her up with kind actions.

They entered the beautiful home; Kagome seeing that she had no choice in the matter, took off her shoe and followed him into the sophisticated kitchen. They had yet to say anything much to each other and the tension between the two was building impossibly high.

“Would you like something to drink?” he requested in the deep baritone that had invaded her dreams on a nightly basis and she felt nostalgia set in. Longing fierce and powerful assaulted her, making her want for those brief days long gone past.

“No thank you. What I would like is to know what you want.” She said standing at the door, a defensive attitude stiffening her posture. Her eyes grew wide as he stalked to her, predatory. He touched her cheek, running his claws over the smooth skin and a look of longing raced through his eyes before it was stifled.

“Please take a sit Kagome.” Her eyes grew hearing the “please” escape his lips. She felt heat within her stomach at that simple touch. Her breath coming out in tiny painful huffs as her stomach clenched tightly.

“O-okay…” she stammered, her resolve gone for the moment as she blindly allowed him to lead her. A heated blush spread across her cheek as she sat at the island within the kitchen and her lashes lowered demurely. After all this time, he still had such an intense effect over her. Opting to ignore him, she chose to enjoy the beauty of his kitchen, white marble and black stone coordinated to create a modern masterpiece.

She was startled out of her wondering gaze as a glass of orange juice was placed in front of her. “Th-thank you.” She said forgetting her earlier declination. Taking a sip she looked up at him nervously.

“Why did you not tell me?” he asked suddenly when the silence had become unbearable.

Her anger spiked at those words then. How dare he?!

“I did tell you. I asked Shiori to tell you and she said that you said you didn’t want a hanyou child and that you had only used me for the novelty of “‘fucking a ningen.’” So I saw no reason to harass you.” She looked up at him in anger then, but within those swirls was a hurt that had not left in those near three years since their last encounter.

“I never said any such thing. As I remember it, your friend Shiori came to me that day and told me that she was taking you away from me so that I would never hurt you again. She never told me anything. I knew that you must have told her of what had happened between us that last time we had made love-“

“Had sex!” she said fiercely. “That is not how you make love.”

With a pained look of guilt and hurt he inclined his head in acceptance of her words, “had sex. She asked me if I enjoyed fucking a human and causing her pain. Yet she never told me of your pregnancy. She instead mentioned how much she hoped you didn’t get pregnant as giving birth to my filthy hanyou spawn would only darken the world.” He looked at her, gauging her reactions. “I must admit when she said this, I became upset and threatened her. She begged me to hurt her so that you would hate me even more. She even went so far as to strike me. Yet being a superior youkai, I spared her life only because I knew that she spoke the truth. I only decided then that instead of attacking her I would give you a few days to cool off before I came to you. Who knew that you would have left the country? I spent the last few years looking for you yet I found nothing.” He well remembered those days…

--------------------

Stepping into his building, he hoped to take in the familiar scent of Kagome after being gone a few days. He had spent time with his brother, burying the hatchet, as that was what had begun the entire affair. Yet being bereft of her scent plagued his mind. He needed to see her, thus far she had not answered her phone any of the hundreds of times he had called.

Entering his office with a downed heart, he sat trying to concentrate on the work that needed his attention, however all he could think of was that hurt look on her face when he had been done with her. The sorrow in her voice. He relived their entire encounter. That a few days could change his world so drastically. His ears perked as he picked up the sound of someone in his secretary’s outer office. Shiori. She would know where Kagome was. Getting up, he went to her. She started as he spoke. It slammed into him then, her hatred for him.

“Well if it isn’t Mister High and Mighty, Sesshomaru Taisho. I hope that you are proud of yourself,” she said turning to look at him.

His eyes narrowed at her words yet it would do no good threatening her in her state of anger.

“You know. I really thought you were different than other Youkai. When Kagome came to work here, I told her that the youkai boss was different than all the other vermin youkai out there. I told her that it was one of the safest places that she could find herself working. You know. But then I hear of this—this stupid thing that happened between you two. You hurt my friend. I trusted you and you raped her. Did you know that I was raped also by a youkai?” she said bitterly. Her eyes shadowed as she remembered the pained event. “I know that your kind has no regard for us and I bet you she begged you repeatedly to stop.” He flinched at the truth of the words.

“Did you hear her when she asked or did it turn you on more?” she was screaming now in her anger. Her body shook uncontrollably.

“Well you see, she nearly died because of what you did to her. But you don’t have to worry. I am taking her away. Away from the likes of you. You will never see her again to hurt her.”

His confusion grew as he listened to the angry woman’s tirade.

“What is it about you youkai? Do you enjoy fucking ningen women? Is it because you think we are so below you that it turns you on sleeping with the animals? Do you get off on causing pain? Is that it?” she cried wiping away her tears with an angry swipe. “You know what? I hope she doesn’t give birth to one of your kind. A filthy hanyou born with the blood of Sesshomaru Taisho would only darken the world… cause more pain.” She wanted to hurt him like he had hurt her friend. He needed to suffer like she had.

He growled then, the sound fierce as he felt clouds of red filter through his eyes. No one threatened his child unborn or not. He was born of noble blood and no would speak to him thusly. He almost lost himself to the need to defend his name when he heard a triumphant laugh. The tiny sound from the woman was enough to stay the attacking youkai.

“That’s it. Hurt me. Kill me. Ensure that Kagome never speaks to you again. Never forgives you. I would gladly die right now if it would make Kagome hate you.” She said, venom laced the insane words. But she was right? Kagome was already upset. She would never forgive him if he hurt her dear friend.

Shiori shrieked in anger as he stopped just in front of her. In an act made to incense, she slapped him across the face with all the strength in her body. His head swung t the head as the red darkened to an almost black. His need to kill grew almost beyond his control.

“Leave my office and never return or your life will not be spared a second time.” He all but growled, fighting to control his anger. He wanted to hurt her so bad his beast called for her blood but he would spare her if he ever hoped of gaining Kagome’s forgiveness for his actions.

She cast him a hateful look before storming out of the building. That had been the last time that he had seen her. And little had he known then that it would have heralded Kagome’s disappearance as well. He anguished over the years spent looking for her. Yet it was as if she had vanished off the face of the earth.

---------------------

He was pulled out of his reverie when she uttered, “How dare you lie about such a thing?” her voice shook over unshed tears. She didn’t know what to believe anymore. “You forget. I know full well how much you disliked hanyou. I spent years listening to you threaten Inuyasha!” she shouted feelingly.

Her hands shook as she held the glass of barely touched juice, some of it spilling over the side to tarnish the pristine surface. She scarcely noticed as she sat there looking into space. He said nothing.

“You know,” Kagome whispered, “I did want to tell you, even knowing how much you disliked hanyou. I believed that as a father, you had the right to claim the children or not. I thought I was prepared for it. After the near miscarriage—“

“What? You nearly miscarried?” he asked, shocked as the pieces fell into place. His heart ached as he thought of what he could have lost without even knowing it.

She laughed bitterly at his words. “I know. It was only fitting. Don’t you think? See I’m a Miko and you are Youkai. We are natural enemies. And as I was so upset with you, my powers took the baby as a threat to me and thought it best to get rid of them. Of course we all nearly died. It was touch and go for a moment I was told. All I remember was the pain. I didn’t even know it was normal to hurt that much.” Her tears spilled then as she remembered.

“But I fought. I fought because I wanted you to see your children. I wanted to love them. I knew that even though you were not there I would at least have them and they would never doubt that they held my heart. Of course at that time I didn’t realise that they were twins.” She wiped at her tears in anger at her weakness. “I always knew that you wouldn’t accept them. I was even a little afraid that you would threaten to kill them like you had Inuyasha so many times but even then, I still clung to this hope in my heart that even though we wouldn’t have a fairytale romance you could at least love your child.”

She looked into his eyes then. He was so silent as he mulled over her words, realising his error. This had all been his fault.

“I am grateful to Shiori and her sister as they gave me a means to escape from the pain of your rejection. But I never realised that breeding between the species was any different than a normal human pregnancy. You see, for the hanyou to be born properly there had to be multiple transfusions from the youkai parent to keep the child alive, as the human’s blood is not strong enough and they don’t always survive. It is why there is such a high mortality rate for hanyou children. Kusanagi was born dead. His heart stopped beating after he was born. He was so beautiful. I had fought to keep them alive, hoping my Miko powers would be enough and no doubt they worked but not as well as your blood would have. You cannot even imagine what it’s like to carry this child within you, bond with him and then to watch him. Lifeless.” Emotion drained from her features.

“All I could think of was all the experiences that we would not be having together. My little boy and I couldn’t be with him as they took him away as I had to give birth to his little sister.” Her words died down then as she started to sob remembering the pain of that moment as they had taken her child away to try to revive him.

He moved to stand behind her laying his hands on her shoulder to try comforting her

“Don’t touch me!” she shouted through her sobs, trying to pull away, but he only held on tight. Turning her around so that he could look at her. She screamed in frustrated anger pounding her fists weakly against his chest, only to end in a heart-wrenching sob as she held onto him tightly, shedding her tears. His arms wrapped around her shaking body.

Nothing more was said as he soothed her with tiny growls meant to ease the tears. His hands playing through her soft hair as her sobs filled the quiet room. They stayed like this until her tears had died down. He didn’t let her go, instead his arms tightened around her briefly before returning to their previous state of comfort.

“I apologise Kagome, for my part in this. I promise you on my honour that I never said those words to Shiori. It is as I said it happened. I would have never said anything so heartless upon hearing that you carried my pups.” He fell silent for a moment. All that came from her were tiny tremors and hiccups from crying. He did not know how to comfort her as the sorrow blanketed her in its cold grasp.

“I never hated Inuyasha because he was a hanyou. I did not really hate him period. I was merely upset with him for something that had happened a long time ago. I believe it is best that I tell you so you understand and can believe my words.

“From the time I was but a pup I had always looked up to my father. He was the most powerful youkai ever to be born and I was proud to be his son. But as time grew by, my adoration became something more. I didn’t want to be just like him anymore. I wanted to surpass him. But my chance to do that, to ever prove that I could become more powerful than he was, was taken away when he gave up his life protecting Izayoi and her son. I did not really hate Inuyasha. I merely resented him and his mother as they took that away from me. So I would not have been upset had I known that you bore my pups.” He said as he continued to hold her.

She started to cry again hearing those words, clinging to him, praying that it was not a dream. If what he said was true, then her children’s life had been jeopardised because Shiori compared her involvement with Sesshomaru with her own rape. Her children had nearly died because her friend took it upon her to involve herself in something that did not involve her. She had lied.

“I want to speak to see my children.” She said, suddenly needing to be with them, to hold them, ascertain that they were alive.

“It is late now Kagome. I think that you should rest. I will take you to them in the morning but you can call them. I am sure that they are very worried about you.” He picked her up and carried her to the room next to his. She nuzzled sleepily into his chest, taking comfort from his scent. Her arms tightened around him briefly before sleep claimed her.

He entered her room and sat on the bed, admiring her. She was so beautiful. She had done a great job with his pups. For the first time that night he let joy enter his heart. His pups. He was a father. Suddenly he was anxious to see them again and would make sure that Inuyasha brought them over first thing in the morning, but right now what mattered was their mother. Kagome.

“Wake up Kagome. I’m about to call the pups.” He shook her gently as he whispered the words to her.

She whimpered a bit, holding him tightly before her sapphire eyes opened. “Sesshomaru?”

“Yes.”

“So it wasn’t a dream?” she asked breathlessly.

“No. I am real.” His arms tightened around her a little before he let go. I am going to call Inuyasha now so you can speak to the pups. They will come here in the morning so we can all discuss what’s going to happen now.”

Her heart slammed with a secret yearning for a happily-ever-after but this had never been a love story. There was no way he would suddenly proclaim undying love for her and her brief hope wilted with pained longing. Those were brushed away as the happy voices of her children flooded through the speakers of the phone. Saori had cried for a little while because she missed her mommy but Kusanagi had comforted her and in no time the children had settled in for their little ‘vacation’ with Uncle ‘Yasha and Aunt Rora. They were happy that come morning they would be with their mother again though and with happy giggles and mock kisses they bid her goodnight.

Snuggling into her pillow she let a sigh escape her lips. Her world would change so drastically come morning. She really hoped her children would handle the changes. Sighing again she tried to go to sleep but it just could not come again. She was just a bundle of nerves. She needed to relax. Her head turned to the doorway at the tiny knock.

“Do you need anything?” he asked looking like an angel, framed in her door. Longing gripped her being. He was ethereal, whispery long hair flowed around him. It wasn’t as long as it used to be but it was still very long. Clothed only in soft cotton night pants and an open t-shirt. Her eyes memorized him for on the morrow the memory would be all she had left of him

“Shaking her head no, she declined his offer. With a nod he turned to leave taking the door with him.

“Sesshomaru…” she called. Her heart trembled as he paused on his way to closing the door and looked at her with his golden eyes.

“Yes?”

“Can you—“ she faltered, her eyes escaping his grip. “Can you not leave yet? Please?” Her head bowed she waited for an answer, but it never came. She almost felt like crying after a while and nothing came. Sniffling, she lifted her head and her eyes collided with his as he knelt at the side of her bed. His clawed hands touching her face lifting her chin tenderly. They looked at each other, the light from the hallway being enough.

Her breath hitched as his head lowered and he captured her lips. It was so tender, so soft. She whimpered as her lips clung to his. Her being shook at the first intimate touch in years. He pulled away slightly and looked at her, fire sparking within his golden orbs. Pushing her hair away from her face, he ran his thumb over her moist lip before he bent down and sucked the lip into his mouth.

The heated feel of his fanged mouth sucking on her lip, ignited a fire within her stomach. The moist heat sent her pulse into a wild flutter and with a little sound of wanting she moved her hand over his shoulder enjoying the taste. He let go of her lip and captured it again, his tongue slipping into her mouth to get a taste of her and he moaned. His body leapt to life as sparks of fire ignited his blood and he couldn’t stop the growl that escaped his lips.

Stalking her he slowly climbed onto the bed, straddling her hips before he kissed her again. She could fell his heart hammer with reaction every time he took her lips and feeling a little bold she trailed her human nails over his bared stomach, enjoying the ridged feeling of his muscles clenching with each touch of her nails. He was growling into her mouth with wanting as her touch sent blood stiffening into his shaft. Pulling away, he started to trail tiny kisses down her chin and cheeks.

“You are so beautiful Kagome. No one has ever made me feel as alive as you.” He whispered as his lips touched her ear, before drawing the lobe into his mouth to suck. He hmmed heatedly, hearing the moan that left her lips. Wrapping his arms around her arched waist, he brought her body flushed up against his so she could feel his arousal, thick and hot even through his pants. “You are the only one who can arouse me so fast.” He growled heatedly as he pressed closer to her, rubbing his arousal between her legs for a tiny moment before catching the action. He needed control. Taking multiple deep breaths he growled again before he started to trail kisses down the side of her face to end at her neck’s juncture. Nuzzling his face into the crook of flesh presented to him, he couldn’t help taking in a deep breath of her scent. It wrapped its way around his being heightening his need to an almost unbearable.

He chucked as he felt the answering tremors rake through her delicate being. Taking a tiny nip of her skin, he felt insurmountable pleasure infuse his being. She tasted better than he remembered. Unable to resist the temptation that was her body, he couldn’t stop his hands from drifting beneath her clothing to explore the soft skin that waited for him. Pulling away from his exploration of her neck, his hooded eyes took in the look of pleasure on her face as his hands drew near to her sensitive flesh and nipples. He relished the look that could come on her face when he touched her where he body needed it. He wanted to see the desire cloud her eyes until she was lost to it.

He could see her chest rise and fall harder… faster as his clawed fingers drew near the wanting flesh. She was just short of panting as he trailed a claw beneath one breast. Growling as her aroused scent spike he did it again and again he was assaulted b the ambrosial scent. I want more he thought as he trailed his fingers over the skin. As one claw scraped over a peaked areola, she shivered, her eyes darkening to where they appeared black within the darkened room.

He groaned appreciatively as he felt goose bumps rise upon her skin and unable to resist temptation any longer, he delved into the heated touch of passion. Cupping her breasts within his warm palms, he placed chaste kisses upon the clothed peaks as his arms played a dangerous game beneath her shirt. Her reactions were enough to spend him to that that deep dark place where only pleasure resided.

Groaning, he lifted her into a sitting position so he could remove her shirt. A shuddering breath escaped his lips as he watched her lustrous black hair cascade down her shoulders in a wanton display of temptation. He gave in her siren’s call and took a bared nipple between his teeth. Sucking on it until the owner begged him raggedly for mercy. Even then he waited but a bit more before he granted her, her request, only to repeat the action with the twin nipple. By the time he had left her flesh, she was a shivering mass of want and desire.

Smiling predatorily at her closed eyes, bare chest rising rapidly, he ran his hands over her body in worship to her beauty; caressing her sides and feeling triumphant when he was rewarded with a breathy moan and a shudder. He gave in to the need and placed gentle kisses against her stomach and ribcage, gracing the entire expanse of flesh with his version of reverence. Dipping his tongue into her navel he marvelled as she gasped and arched over into his touch, breathless moans pleading for more.

That after all the pain he had caused her, here she laid before him, offering him her body so freely and passionately. He was not worth it. He was not worthy of her trust and openness and he would make sure that she did not regret this night.

With an act of hurried impatience, he pulled her skirt and panties off her body in one graceful fluid move wringing a gasp of surprise from her lips. He gave her no time to protest. Simply, he continued his adoration of her body, his lips so near her heat, her aroused sent almost tempting him to forgo the foreplay and take her right then, but then that would not do. So calling on his patience reserves he continued his slow tortured path down her body, paying homage to her soft thighs as his lips left a heated trail that blazed long after he had left. Her chest raising haphazardly fast her senses coiled as she prepared for his touch where she needed it most.

She was so aroused. Her concentration focused solely on his slow path, sweat gleamed off her forehead as she begged him in moans to get it over with. She was so sensitive her female heat felt chilled wit the focus she placed on it. Yet he did not touch her there, he continued around her moist need, caressing her bottom. Her hips had started tiny thrusts of want, unconsciously relaying what she needed.

A scream of release left her lips as his tongue flickered over her clitoris. The brief touch conveyed itself to her in the most urgent of messages sending her into a mind-blowing orgasm. Shaking violently she cried out as he held onto her thighs and took her into his mouth his touch stabbing into her and unable to control her deprived body, she came again, his name on her lips.

With a satisfied growl the inuyoukai felt his organ pulsate with the pleasure he was giving her, her cries of satisfaction driving him crazy. With a move bordering on violent, he shredded his clothing off his being. He was trembling with his need. Deprived of her warm body for so long, he was nearly crazed with the need to plunge into her sweet welcoming heat.

He hovered over her body, lifting her head so she could look at him. He gave her a tender kiss before he sank into her. She felt every minute detail of his penetration and her almost virginal body, after years of abstinence, clenched around him tightly in moist heat. His arms trembled with the force it took not to take her violently as his body was screaming at him to do. Instead, with a tensed body he waited for her to give him the signal that she was ready.

Finally, her back arched taking more of him as she wrapped her legs around his waist. It was what he was waiting for, with unsuppressed passion he unsheathed himself within her sweet heat and plunged into her repeatedly, her name on his lips as he sought oblivion within her arms. She cried out her passion, her hands clenching tightly around his bottom as he pushed his way into her. She could feel her body pulsing, drawing closer. Trying to slow down her nearing orgasm she try to lessen her hip’s thrust, yet her body was not cooperating. In no time she felt her muscles clench tightly around his pounding shaft as she screamed her release, her body shuddering as chills of pleasure raced through her.

Not long after he came with his own cry, his seed coating her womb. He kept thrusting as his body continued to wring years of pleasure in a single moment and then he collapsed against her, turning them around so that he could nestle her above his body, he shivered in reaction before pulling the covers over their cooling bodies.

She made move to disengage him from her body but he stayed her. “No don’t. Our third child is being conceived. Let’s give him all the help he needs.” He kissed her tenderly as she shivered at his words.

“I hope you know that I would never have left you. I came to your house to apologise, remember? You see I realised something after you had left. After what I had done to you. And I fought it. But I could not. I did not want to. I liked how it felt. What started as a hunt became something so much more.” He whispered to her as he held her tightly to his body. “After years alone Kagome, I was willing to give myself to you. I wanted to apologise to you. I wanted you to understand that I only reacted that way because I was jealous.” He admitted.

“You were jealous?” she asked resting her head on his chest. “Why?”

“Well I found that the woman who had captured me so completely was my brother’s wench something violent reacted within me. I didn’t want you to go to him. I acted in a deplorable manner because in my mind I could see you with him and it hurt that while I had given myself to you, you were in love with him that hanyou.” He paused truly afraid of the weakness he was about to admit. “I love you.” He whispered, lifting her head so she could see the sincerity and love on his face. He kissed her tenderly as he said the words.

Tears escaped her lids as she heard those words. Her heart swelled. Clenching her eyes tightly to try to stay the flow she sobbed as she framed his face tenderly before laying her lips against his trying to convey all the emotions those heartfelt words woke within her. She trembled in reaction at the words, praying that it was real.

“You have no idea how many times I’ve had this dream. Its so cruel.” She said letting her hand stroke his cheek lovingly. Gazing into his eyes that had softened with love and tenderness. “This time hurts more than the other times because it feels so real, but I know it can’t be real. I want it too much for it to be real.”

He chuckled and her heart clenched hearing the sound come from her beloved. “I assure you that this is no dream Kagome. I am right here right now and I love you. I would lay down my life for you. If not for those years apart I would not have appreciated the depth of my feelings as much and though it hurt I am glad that it happened as I have you now in my arms. I will love you until my dying day.”

She sobbed heart wrenchingly as her arms tightened around him. “I love you too. More than you can know,” she sobbed her grip tightened as she let her emotions show clinging him to her being. Her shivering body surrounded him with her warmth. “Please let this be real as I love you. I’ve loved you for forever it seems and oh god,” she sobbed feeling her entire body quake with reaction. He sat up holding her tightly to him letting her body relax, until she had calmed and was running her hands against his chest.

Looking up at him, her hair mussed from their love making, she gave him a tender kiss as she hugged him and his heart warmed a bit with the expanding feeling of love. They fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The morning came with hope. They made love again before the children came over. They rushed over to their mother hugging her like she had been gone for months. She pulled them to a side and told them that Sesshomaru was their father and that they would be living with him from now on. That they would be a family.

And there was silence.

Time ticked by endlessly.

It was Saori who broke the silence. She burst into tears rushing on her chibi legs to him crying “Daddie!!” he hugged her as she cannoned into him for the second time in as many days. Kneeling, he opened his arms so that his eldest could approach him. The inu-hanyou pup did not move for a moment then he too ran into his father’s arms crying. Kagome, unable to suppress her reactions, found herself crying as she looked at her family. They were reunited in love and everything would be better from then.

Sesshomaru had not been wrong. They had a son nine months later and as they had to use transfusions to keep the child alive, Kagome found that her blood was laced with that of the most powerful Inuyoukai extending her life with each child that they had. They never again doubted the love of the other and their family grew up with happiness and love. Both houses joined, that of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. All pain created of the centuries with the marriage of Izayoi had been cured. It was truly a happily ever after.

The end.

Thanks for the inspiration and I do hope that this chapter was satisfactory to you. Thank youfor reading "Eyes of a Hunter" Your words as well as that of multiple others made this one hell of an experience -bows-

to szaugglaughs: Hopefully this chapter makes you happy

to rowdy girl: I never thought aboutthat. I just felt like writing and it happened to be on christmas day as I finished watching this movie and it had great music and the music inspired me to write. Im sure youve heard of Moulin Rouge? God that movie is awesome.

to sweetcakes:
Yes I agree that Pheonix is a great writer. I read one of her stories and actually went "holy shit!" -clenches legs- "omg that's hot!" As for the england thing well I'm notfrom america, not from england either but i assume most people move her to america because they're from there and no the location. Honestly the big meeting was supposed to happen in a huge hotel in paris and the children were not supposed to be there but meh things change. Im to freaking lazy to read it over. I swear I always try but i end up quittign and justlike skimming so i get someerrors. The thing is I know the story so well as ive played t a thousand times in my mind so after ive written it down once that's one time too many. Hopefully alll questions answered and -ahem disregards spanking comment or everyoen will beencouraged to start over again.-

Thank you for takign th time to read my story -smiles- I know didnt she think it was obvious that he would call sess? Well maybe she was thinking that they still hatedeach other. So she thought her secret was safe. plus well it wasnt his business. After reading yoru review I tried to make sure all the questions you asked were covered. I hope that you enjoyed ths story and look forward to hearign what you have to say on upcoming stories I may write in the future

To Snowfall:
gah that was not my intention at all it was more likehe knew they wer ehis children so he was telling Kusa to always protect his baby sister. I absolutely adored the sit it eas so emotional i could just hear her screaming it in fear and panic and anger. I tried to make it so that when sess fell (in love) no one would say that it was ooc. I tried to brng lots of emotion into it so it would be believeable and I do hope that I succeeded. I particularly love the childrens names as well. I ddnt do Kusa right. He was supposed to eb a mini version of his father but i couldnthelp making him a little sweet where he hugged his little sis and all that. I thank you for reading. I still rmember your first review for this story and it waas one of the many others that gave me the inspiration to continue. You are a truly VIP reviewer and I am honoured that my little story was passable enough that you could wait to read it when I updated. I truly do hope that his chpater meets wth yoru approval and that it remained a believable roamnce story till theend. I will surely miss readig your incteful and humourous comments.

I apologise if I offended you before however I found that responding to everyone was qute impossible. So everyoen who say"Wow!! please update!!" "Omg great chappie update soon" and anythign like that i merelythanksed in a generic genral tank you. It's quite difficult to respond to "wow great chapter" I do not remember seeig your name and I did look nd still did not see it so I apologse for not responding. Thank you for reading Eyes of a hunter and though i did not respond personally I am honoured that you read and enjoyed and took the time to review

i especially loved little saori. I love little babies they're s adorable right? I tried to show her adorableness

To tori
well i wrote it so imma be even more sad but not cause i wrote it ill be sad cause ill miss all those fun times we had over those months when i procrastinatedwritign a little story. lol i never thought of it that way. I see myself as a vessel. I do not tell the story it merely shows itself to me nd withthe help of music it takes over my body and does the writing on my own which is why i loveit so much as i discover new things mysel f while reading it. I cried when i read this last chapter. I think that it was beautiful. It wasnt awesoem but it was beautiful. unfortunately the hunt was just the curtship. im sure they'll have more of that but the hunt was supposed to represent anonymous fucking so as they love each other they made love for the firsttime. :) Thank you so very much for readign my story and taking time to review enoug hthat i could recognise yor name im so glad that so many people enjoyed it and that you would even be sad. Thank you
