A Kiss To Build A Dream On

Prompt: "The Way You Look Tonight"

Words: 300

I don't own anything Inuyasha, or anything to do with the songs "The Way You Look Tonight" and "A Kiss To Build A Dream On."

Something was… different, but Kagome couldn’t name it. Being on stage wasn’t new, neither was her dress, the musicians, or the song. So… what was it?

The beat started she sang with low, smooth tones that swayed with the melody.

“Some day, when I’m awfully low.”

Sesshoumaru was here, but that wasn’t new.

“When the world is cold.”

However, he was in the front, not hiding at the bar.

“I will feel a glow just thinking of you…”

And he was… smiling? But…

“And the way you look tonight.”

Feeling her knees go weak, she returned his smile.

“You’re lovely, with your smile so warm.

And your cheeks so soft.”

There was no one else in the room but her and Sesshoumaru; everything else just faded into the background with the sight of his emotion.

“There is nothing for me but to love you.”

Then she winked.

“And the way you look tonight.”

After her shift, he practically carried Kagome home in his anxiousness. He was always so impatient.

“Lovely… Never, ever change.”

He was also pushy and quiet, but when his lips touched hers… she couldn’t think of any reason not to let him.

“Keep that breathless charm.”

Not fast enough they were in her bedroom, tearing at each others’ clothing without breaking eye contact more than necessary.

“Won’t you please arrange it?”

Then in the dark she lightly traced his markings then kissed desperately; it never seemed to be close enough.

“’Cause I love you…”

His skin slid across hers as she gasped throughout the night. Time after time he took Kagome gently, remembering the feel of her breasts and hips and the rhythm of her pulse on his tongue as he tasted her. During it all, Sesshoumaru never let his smile fall.

“Just the way you look tonight.”
