Anyone looking at Sesshoumaru would have sworn that he was either annoyed or angry, from the stern, concerted look on his face. His eyebrows were scrunched so close together that they touched, and his lips had all but disappeared into the formidable scowl that graced his normally flawless blank countenance. It was probably the most expression that he had ever exhibited and it scared the rest of the group senseless.

It did not perturb Kagome however; as she bravely meandered over to him, on the far side of the camp. He sensed her heading towards him and it only made him grimace and growl a little more. She was the cause of his frustration and the reason for the chinks that had formed in his legendary control. It was most unsettling, yet he found that he could do nothing to stop it. Maybe, it was time that he finally revealed his secret to her. Not waiting for Kagome to start questioning his reticent mood and troubled aura, he wrapped an arm around her and took to the sky with one word, "Come."

To say that she was shocked would be quite the understatement; but her concern about his recent apprehensive behavior towards her overshadowed any other questions. He looked like he needed to talk and for him, that could only mean that it was very important.

They landed on the riverbank and he instantaneously reached for her hand, which left her speechless.

"Kagome, this Sesshoumaru is troubled and fears that you maybe the only person who can help."

"You have to know I would do anything for you."

"This Sesshoumaru once believed that emotions were trivial and unnecessary but that was because they were unknown to me, at least, until you."

"This…I, Sesshoumaru, daiyoukai of the Western Lands, loves you."
