If You Could Only See by Tonic
~~~~~~~~~~~

If you could only see the way she loves me

Then maybe you would understand

Why I feel this way about our love

And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

When she says she loves me

~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru knocked on the door to Kagome’s apartment and listened as she moved toward the door to let him in. It swung open to reveal her. She seemed quite sad and upset about something, but he couldn’t place it.

“Are you alright?” he asked, moving in to hold her.

She backed up and smiled weakly. “Yeah, I’m fine. But are you alright?” she asked.

He looked down at her. “I’m fine. A bit busy at work and dealing with Father, but I’m fine. You look terrible. Are you sure you’re alright?” he asked, stroking her cheek.

She looked up at him and sighed. “I want to talk to you.”

He nodded and closed the door behind him. “Let’s move to the living room then. We can talk there, ok?” he asked, setting his briefcase down.

She turned around and took a seat and watched as he sat next to her, taking her hand into his.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, looking into her eyes, trying to figure out what was eating at her.

She turned her face so he could see her better and sighed. “Sesshoumaru, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, with all this time I’ve spent apart from you, and I’ve come to a conclusion,” she said, looking down at her lap.

Sesshoumaru’s heart clenched in pain. He knew she would want to see him out of her life sooner or later, but he was hoping for a much later date. She was to precious to him to let slip away.

“Sesshoumaru, I love you,” she spurted out, startling Sesshoumaru.

He stared openly at her for a minute before sweeping her up into his arms. “I love you too, Kagome,” he whispered in her ear. “I wasn’t sure if it was the right time to tell you, so I didn’t say anything. Gods, do I love you.”

Tears brimmed Kagome’s eyes at his declaration and she hugged him tighter. “I was afraid you were going to leave me,” she admitted. “After what Inu Yasha told me and after what Sango said, I was so scared you’d leave me. I didn’t want you too. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Sesshoumaru pulled back slightly. “What did Inu Yasha and Sango say?” he asked, looking into her eyes.

Kagome shifted uneasily. “Well, with Sango, it was more out of concern for me. I’m not so sure about Inu Yasha.”

Sesshoumaru lightly pushed Kagome’s chin up so she’d look him in the eyes. “What did Inu Yasha say to you Kagome? What did he say to make you think I’d leave you?” he asked again.

Kagome sighed and tried to avoid his gaze. “He came over that first night you had been late, about three months ago and told me that you didn’t keep anyone for more then six months. That you’d treat them all special and then you’d eventually start to loose interest after a while. Then you’d start becoming late for the plans and then you’d call and say you wouldn’t be able to make it due to work issues or what not and then… Then you’d leave them as harshly as you could.” With that, tears started to fall down her cheeks. “I didn’t want you to leave me. I didn’t want to loose you.”

Sesshoumaru pulled her back into his arms. “I am such a fool. You probably started to believe him with as much as I’ve been seeing of you lately, haven’t you?” he asked, placing his chin on top of her head.

She nodded slightly, cuddling deeper into his hold to find comfort.

“I would not leave you. I want to spend my life with you. That is why I’ve decided to introduce you to my father. If you would agree to be my mate, that is,” he said, pulling away from her slightly.

Kagome looked up at him in wonder. “You want me as your mate?” she asked as quietly as she could, not wanting to ruin the moment.

Sesshoumaru nodded and reached into his jacket, pulling out a little black velvet box. “Would you, my dear Kagome?” he asked again, opening the box up to reveal a beautiful white gold ring with intricate weaves, a simple azure or diamond sitting in between each one.

Kagome gasped and looked up at him. “Of course. I love you to much to say no.”

Sesshoumaru smiled as he took the ring out of the box and grabbed Kagome’s hand, slipping the ring onto her finger. He leaned down and kissed her lips, thinking of how wonderful it would be to be able to do that for the rest of his life every night.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Well you got your reasons

And you got your lies

And you got your manipulations

They cut me down to size

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

Sesshoumaru walked into his brother’s office and resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the stench of stale sex in the air. It was disgusting and horrid.

“What the fuck do you want, dip-shit?” Inu Yasha growled.

Sesshoumaru growled at him. “You would do wise to explain to me why you told Kagome what you did,” he warned.

Inu Yasha leaned back in his chair. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, dear brother. You mean about me breaking up with her? Or about you?”

Sesshoumaru’s lip came up in a snarl as his growl increased. “Do not push me, half-breed. I have no time to be toying around with you. Why did you say that to her?”

Inu Yasha sat straight and smiled. “Because it’s the truth. You’ll leave her soon enough. You know you will. After all, you can’t commit to a relationship like I can.”

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed onto the hanyou. “I do not see it happening as she is my mate-to-be. And if you are doing this to turn her back to you, you forget you are mated and cannot do such things. Your vows and the blood in your body, no matter how diluted, will not allow it. Watch yourself, mutt.”

With that, Sesshoumaru turned on his heel and left the office behind him, anger boiling over the edge.

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

Sayin you love but you dont

You give your love but you wont

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

Sango fawned over the ring on Kagome’s finger.

“He gave that to you? That thing has to be at least twenty thousand! Kagome, why’d he give it to you? Was it a gift?” Sango asked.

Kagome shook her head. “No, it wasn’t a gift. It’s a mating band.”

Sango and Miroku gaped at her with their mouths hanging open.

“Close your mouths. You’ll catch flies like that,” Kagome teased.

“Kagome! You’re going to mate him! You’re mating THE Sesshoumaru? When did he ask you? What did you say? Well, obviously you said yes, but what happened?” Sango asked, talking almost to fast for Kagome to hear.

“Well, I started talking to him about what Inu Yasha had told me about him and him being late and not spending as much time with me. He then admitted that he loved me too after I told him I loved him and then he proposed to him after promising never to leave me. Of course I said yes. I couldn’t say no. How could I?” she said, looking at the ring again.

Miroku shook his head. “So Inu Yasha did have a talk with you?”

Kagome looked up at him. “Yeah. He told me that Sesshoumaru was pretty much using me and that I was going to be out of his life soon enough. Well, I started to believe it and then I talked to Sesshoumaru about it all, but it doesn’t matter anymore because Inu Yasha’s just a shit head.”

Miroku sighed. “And yet, I feel this is not the end of it. Have you met Inu-no yet?”

Kagome shook her head. “No. We’re supposed to have dinner with him tonight. I think Inu Yasha will try to place claims over me that are old and say that Sesshoumaru can’t have me because he never removed those claims, but with the break-up, he was stripped of any claims over me. Especially since he’s mated now too. So he’s got nothing.”

Sango sighed. “Yeah, but he’s Inu Yasha. He gets whatever he wants, Kagome. You know it. Just be careful tonight, ok?”

Kagome nodded before looking back down at her ring.

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

If you could only see the way she loves me

Then maybe you would understand

Why I feel this way about our love

And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

When she says she loves me

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

Kagome stood in front of her mirror and sighed again. She as all dressed up for the meeting with Inu-no, and she was nervous. Inu Yasha was more then likely to try something. It worried her, but in the end, she knew that with Sesshoumaru at her side, she’d be able to get through the night.

Sesshoumaru straightened his tie and looked down at her. “Stop fidgeting with your hair. It is fine,” he said, lightly pulling her hand away from her curled hair.

She looked at her dress once more, noticing the beautiful ocean blue that brought out her eyes. It was a gorgeous dress. One sleeve over her right shoulder, flowing down to bell out at her wrist. It fell down to just above her knees, loose so that when she twirled, it flew out beautifully. She wore matching blue high heels that tied halfway up her lower legs with a shimmering ribbon.

“Do I look fine?” she asked, looking up at Sesshoumaru.

“You look like an angel fallen from heaven. I am truly blessed to have you,” he said, kissing her lips.

She smiled shyly as he pulled away from her.

“We have to get going. Father will be expecting us soon.”

She nodded and they head out of her apartment and down to his car to go to his fathers.

Kagome looked around her at the huge mansion. She knew the Tashio’s were rich, but she didn’t expect them to go so far as to live in a mansion. Inu Yasha had never taken her here, so she didn’t know where he lived.

The door swung open and she watched as Sesshoumaru’s father, Inu-no stepped out to greet them.

“Sesshoumaru! I wasn’t sure if you were coming. Dinner’s about to be served. And this must be your mate-to-be! Don’t you work at the company?” he asked, looking down at her finally.

She nodded. “I work on the floor below you sir, as the company’s second top advisor,” she said with a small smile.

“Ah, you know, I always thought you should have been our top advisor, but that Onigumi guy always pulled through in the end. Come in, the food should be done in a moment.”

Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru, who offered her his arm. She took it kindly and was lead into the looming building. Inu-no lead them to a grand living room where Inu Yasha was sitting with Kikyou.

“Finally you’re here. We can eat now,” he complained.

Sesshoumaru glared at his brother. “Do you think about anything besides food, brother?”

“No fighting boys, we have women in our company. Now, I don’t think I caught your name. What is it again?” he asked, turning to Kagome.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Kagome. It’s a pleasure to meet you sir,” she said, bowing slightly.

“Feh, who cares about names? Let’s go eat,” Inu Yasha cut in before anymore could be said.

Inu-no sighed and led everyone to the dining room to sit down for supper. Servants came out and laid the food down on the table and soon everyone had food on their plates.

“So, Kagome, Inu Yasha tells me that you and he had seen each other for a while. Is this true?” Inu-no asked.

Kagome shifted. “Yeah. But we broke up a while back. Old news. That’s all that is.”

Inu-no frowned. “And now you’re to be mated to my Sesshoumaru.”

Kagome smiled kindly. “Yes I am. You don’t object do you?” she asked, a slight frown marring her face.

Sesshoumaru reached over and grabbed her hand, giving it a slight squeeze.

“As long as you’re not just after the money,” Inu-no stated.

Kagome sputtered and her eyes widened. “Excuse me? Why would I be after the money?” she asked.

Inu-no shrugged. “Well, my son is rich. You must have noticed by all the gifts.”

Kagome shook her head. “The most I’ve ever gotten from Sesshoumaru is a dress and some roses. The ring is different. It’s a mating ring. Not a gift.”

Inu-no looked at Sesshoumaru in surprise. “No gifts? Why not?” he asked.

“She asked me not to do it. I was obliged to her request,” he answered.

Inu Yasha snorted across the table. “Yeah right. You probably thought she wasn’t worth it.”

Kagome glared at him. “You know what Inu Yasha, I’m kind of sick of you trying to ruin my life. Stop it right now. You have no right to even but in. You’re mated and the only friend that you have that’s mine is Miroku. You’re not part of my life anymore. Get over it.”

Inu-no looked up at her. “What do you mean trying to ruin your life?” he asked.

“She’s off her rocker. Don’t listen to a word she says,” Inu Yasha cut in before Kagome could answer.

“Oh, like you trying to make her believe I was going to leave her?” Sesshoumaru asked. “I guess that was a figment of her imagination?”

“Keh, who cares if I got her to believe that?” Inu Yasha said, glaring at Sesshoumaru.

“Enough! Kagome, what kind of a history do you have with Inu Yasha?” Inu-no cut in before anyone else could retort.

Kagome shrugged. “We went out for five years and then he broke up with me, calling me a liar about something, which I still don’t know, don’t really care anymore, truthfully. Whenever I’ve seen him after that, he’d be completely rude to me and treat me like crap. After I started to see Sesshoumaru, he found out about it, I think Miroku told him, and he tried to tell me that Sesshoumaru would leave me,” Kagome said. “I don’t really care anymore because he’s not that important to me anymore. I stopped caring about what he has to say.”

Inu-no looked up at his son. “Inu Yasha, that isn’t appropriate behavior for a Tashio, or a gentlemen. I suggest that you drop it this instant.”

Inu Yasha snorted but kept his face hung down.

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

Seems the road less traveled

Shows happiness unraveled

And you got to take a little dirt

To keep what you love

That’s what you gotta do

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

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk with Kagome across from him.

“We’ll have to do a press meeting. Introduce you and announce our engagement to everyone. I’ve it planned out for tomorrow after noon. We’ll have six different magazines, five news reporters and then we’ll have to go to two different news stations to do interviews there. I hope you do not mind doing this?” he asked her.

Kagome shook her head. “Just as long as it’s friends and family only ceremony, I could care less. I don’t want the whole world to watch our special occasion.”

Sesshoumaru smiled. “Of course not. Why don’t you go home and get some sleep. I have to finish making the appointments for tomorrow and then I’ll be at the house. It’ll only be a few more hours. I promise.”

Kagome smiled and nodded. “Good night.”

“Good night, love,” Sesshoumaru said, getting up and walking around the desk to give her a kiss before she left.

Kagome rolled over in her bed only to bump into Sesshoumaru. She pulled the covers off his head and laughed as he tried to pull them back up.

“Get up. We might be late for our meetings if you stay in bed any longer,” she teased.

He groaned and pulled her closer to his body. “I’d rather sleep next to you then go out there.”

“Well, get up anyway. We have to go to those meetings. You said so yourself last night. Come on,” she chided before getting out of bed herself and heading toward her closet.

Sesshoumaru sighed before finally rolling out of the bed and following suit.

Kagome sat in front of a room of cameras and people, waiting for the questions to be loaded onto her and Sesshoumaru. He stood behind her, as she was sitting in a chair, proud and regal, waiting for the rest of the TV crewmen to finish with the wires and what not.

Kagome watched as the last man gave a thumb up and the camera men started the count down from five.

She looked up at Sesshoumaru, who gave her a small squeeze on her shoulder, not bothering to look down at her, as he had an image to maintain in front of other people.

Without warning, questions were thrown at her and Sesshoumaru. He raised a hand in silence and waited for all the noise to cease.

“Good people, I am proud to announce that I have finally decided to settle down. I will be mated in a few months. I would like you all to meet my mate-to-be, Kagome.”

He looked down at her and she smiled shyly at the cameras, before looking back up at him.

“Our mating ceremony will be a closed affair, but we will hold all those that are not granted access in our memories. You may ask questions if you wish, and we will gladly answer to the best of our abilities.”

Questions once again were once again fired at them. Kagome tried to hear them all, but as soon as one started, another would drown it out. Finally the group settled down and a woman stood up.

“Is this for real? Or is it just a joke?” she asked, holding out a microphone for the two.

Kagome stared at her in shock. “You can’t be kidding! Did you really just ask that?”

Sesshoumaru squeezed her shoulder a bit to get her to let him to handle it, but she shook it off. “Seriously! This isn’t some horrible joke. This is the real thing, chicka! Are you trying to dishonor us?”

The woman looked down at the young woman before her and shrugged. “There have been plenty of other engagements with Sesshoumaru Tashio before that have ended before the supposed dates. What is to make us think that this one is not another one?” she asked.

Kagome stood up out of her chair and placed her hands on her hips. “Because I’m not some snooty goody-two-shoes out for his freaking money and to make a name out of themselves. This isn’t some joke. This is the real deal!”

Sesshoumaru stepped forward and placed his hand back onto Kagome’s shoulder. “Kagome, calm down. Please take your seat again. I think the people have some more questions for us.”

At that statement, the crowd once again became a yelling match and Kagome resigned herself to sit back down as it once again settled down to let another person speak.

“How did you two meet?” a man asked, standing up.

“We met while we were out with some friends. I saw her across the room and decided to ask her for a drink. She had ended up slipping out the door before I could ask her so I followed her out and we ended up bumping into one another,” Sesshoumaru said before Kagome could answer.

The crowd bubbled again and quickly died down. “Is it true that Kagome went out with your younger brother, Inu Yasha, Sesshoumaru?”

Sesshoumaru glared at the man. “It is,” he answered.

Another woman stood up. “Then why did you decide to take her yourself?”

“Because Inu Yasha was mating someone else and I was fair game. He had no claims over me and Sesshoumaru was there. Plus, me and Sesshoumaru didn’t get together until well after Inu Yasha left me anyway,” Kagome offered, crossing her arms, becoming more and more angrier at the crowd in front of her.

“Is it true that Miss. Kagome works under you, Sesshoumaru-sama?” another man asked, standing up from the crowd.

Sesshoumaru repressed a sigh. “It is true. Though, her status at work doesn’t lower her status when she is with me. She is first-most and for-most my life partner, wither we are mated yet or not.”

Sesshoumaru held his hand out to help Kagome stand up. “Now, if you will please excuse us, we have other matters to attend to. Have a good day.”

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

Sayin you love but you don’t

You give your love but you won’t

You’re stretching out your arms to something that’s just not there

Sayin you love where you stand

Give your heart when you can

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

Kagome looked at the hanyou across from her and sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that hour. “I told you I don’t care about what you say Inu Yasha. You’re just trying to get me to doubt him. And trust me, it’s not working anymore. I’m done with this.”

Inu Yasha growled at her. “Well, when he calls off the mating and decides that you’re not good enough for him, don’t come running to me. The only reason he’s asked you to be his mate is so that you wouldn’t suspect anything. You know it just as well as I do. Damn it, Kagome, can’t you see what he’s doing? Everyone else can!”

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Like who? Nobody else thinks he’s lying about this. The only one people don’t believe is you.”

“What about those news reporters?” he asked. “Didn’t they ask if it was all a joke? They know this isn’t going to last. He’s been engaged to mate to at least twenty other women in the past hundred years. What makes you think this is any different then those times?”

“Because they are. This isn’t some business deal that’s about to go down the drain. This is true love. And what about you?” she glared at him. “You were the one that left me. You were the one that dragged me around for how many years? I think it was five, telling me you loved me, telling me we’d mate someday. What happened to that? It never happened. Why? Because you didn’t want to commit. You were to afraid. Either that or you were trying to settle for second best. Let me and Sesshoumaru be.”

Inu Yasha grunted and crossed his arms. “You know just as well as I do that all those other engagements weren’t just business deals about to fall through. He told them those were the real deal too. You’re getting yourself into another heart-break.”

Kagome laughed coldly before turning away from him. “Like you have any room to talk about my heart-breaks.”

With out another word, she walked out of his office, knowing that the only reason he had said he needed her up in his office was to make her doubt Sesshoumaru’s intentions.

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

If you could only see the way she loves me

Then maybe you would understand

Why I feel this way about our love

And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

When she says she loves me

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

Kagome looked down at her mate-to-be and smiled softly as he tried to pull her further into the blankets around them.

“You will sleep with this Sesshoumaru now woman. I will not allow either of us to wake as of yet,” he demanded, while finally pulling her under the covers and pinning her to the bed with his body.

She giggled at his actions and leaned up to kiss him tenderly.

“We have to meet with the coordinator later today and the stupid catering group. You know they want to up the prices? Like we’re not spending enough on it as it is.” She scowled at this. “But your dad wants us at your house. And we’re supposed to be there in two hours, so get up. Mom and Souta are going to be there. He wants everyone to get together and meet for the first time. That means you have to be nice.”

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and pulled the blankets back from them and sat up. “And we’re going why?” he asked.

“Because they’re my family and you haven’t met them yet. I had to meet your dad, even if he already knew me. It’s only fair that you have to meet my mom and brother. Unless you don’t care about me enough to do that.”

Sesshoumaru looked back at her and frowned. “I would meet every single person in the world if you asked me to. Just the prospect of meeting your mother haunts me. I know she will not like me. I am demon. You are a Priestess by birth. That and I am the one who took your virginity.”

Kagome laughed and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. “She’s been telling me for years to find a man and make babies, even if we don’t get married. She said she didn’t care if they were full-blooded demons or hanyou or even full-human, just as long as she could be a grandparent. You have nothing to worry about darling.”

“Hn.”

Kagome sighed and got up out of the bed, throwing his clothes at him and laughing as they slid down his face to revile him glaring at her.

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

Sayin you love but you don’t

You give your love but you wont

Sayin you love where you stand

Give your heart when you can

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

Kagome looked up at her mom who beamed proudly at Inu-no.

“It’s so nice to meet you! Kagome told me quite a bit about you and your family. I never paid much to the news, so I am afraid I don’t know too much about you or your family.”

Souta had been staring at Sesshoumaru since he had walked into the mansion. He had already gawked at the size of the place while he was outside, but he had forgotten about it as soon as he entered the front door and finally saw the demon that was taking his sister.

“You must be the coolest guy in the world,” he said in complete awe.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the young boy and refrained from sighing. It was Kagome’s family, after all, and they were a guest in his father’s house.

“And you must be the fine man that brought up Kagome?” he asked, a hint of teasing in his voice.

Souta beamed and looked over to his sister. “I like him.”

Kagome laughed and ruffled his hair. “I think he likes you too. Now stop staring or your eyes will fall out.”

Souta mumbled and crossed his arms. Kagome’s mom smiled and reached out to shake Sesshoumaru’s hand. “It’s nice to meet you too. I’ve heard quite a bit about you recently. It’s all my daughter can talk about, and it makes me happy to hear that she’s found quite an interest in someone. You have been treating her well, right?”

Sesshoumaru nodded before looking over at Kagome who smiled slightly with a small blush spreading on her face. “She is something special.”

Souta gagged as he stuck his finger in his mouth, and then pretended to throw up. Kagome’s mom tapped him on the back of his head, a stern look in place. “Stop it Souta. That’s not polite.”

Souta looked up at his mom in shock for hitting him in front of other people and crossed his arms again. “Yeah, well, they’re being gross. I think I should have the right to point that out to them.”

Kagome laughed before slinging her arm around his shoulder and pulling him tight in a hug. “Well, get used to it.”

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

If you could only see the way she loves me

Then maybe you would understand

Why I feel this way about our love

And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

When she says she loves me

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

Inu Yasha shook his head as he watched the two in front of him complete their mating. It was true that Kagome looked much happier when she was around his brother then he could have ever remembered, but it still pissed him off that Kagome would actually mate his brother.

Kikyou scowled and crossed her arms, sinking a bit lower in her chair. “Why did we have to be here? She’s only my distant cousin.”

“He’s my half-brother and your brother-in-law. We are required to be here,” he growled at her.

Shortly after mating Kikyou, he had realized the error of his ways. She had been more demanding, louder, she screeched if she didn’t get her way and she spent all the money she wanted. She didn’t seem to care too much about him or his feelings. And through their bonds, he knew she was cheating on him already. He had yet to act towards it, but he knew it was the truth.

The Ceremony ended and Kagome found herself away from her mate momentarily. Inu Yasha approached her and hung his head slightly.

“I guess you were right,” he said.

She smiled. “Yeah, I was. It’s a good thing I didn’t believe you when you went on about how he wasn’t into me at all or anything.”

Inu Yasha scoffed and looked away from her. “Yeah, whatever. Just don’t cheat on him or anything. A mate is for life, even if you don’t realize it. It’s not like getting married.”

Kagome patted his arm. “I know. Anything I do is cause enough for Sesshoumaru to act out. I’m not stupid. Now, why do you tell me this?”

Inu Yasha shrugged and looked over toward Kikyou before looking back at her. “I just want you to be happier then I am. After all, you deserve it more then I do. I was a shit head and all you did was have faith and be loyal to those around you. I want to say… I want to say I’m sorry. And you’ll never get another one out of me that is as honest as that one was.”

Kagome smiled and gave Inu Yasha a quick hug. “Well, you be happy too. You still deserve it, no matter what you did to me. Just stay closer to your own mate and maybe things will smooth out.”

Inu Yasha smiled and gave her a hug back. “Alright, my friend. But I think you should get back to your mate. He’s heading in this direction now.”

Kagome turned around to smile at her life partner as Inu Yasha walked away.

“And what did he have to say?” he asked, glaring at the hanyou as he left.

“Just to apologize and wish us well. I don’t think he’ll ever say so in front of you, but he really meant it.”

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

thehotty : Wasn't that amusing?

Kagome : Sure as hell wasn't expecting that.

Sesshoumaru : Not at all... *sarcasm drips from every word*

thehotty : Oh, shut up. I was just trying to give them some drama, happiness and major fluffiness. After all, what Sesshoumaru fan wouldn't want fluffiness?

Kagome : A sane one?

thehotty : My point exactly.

Kagome : Huh?
