Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #11: Toward the Climax    

“Sesshomaru, I swear it is not what you think. I’m not even interested in Akahito as a boyfriend,” Kagome said.

Sesshomaru stared into the miko’s eyes, finding no deception in her dark gaze. Though he wasn’t sure what a ‘boyfriend’ was, he understood her meaning and knowing she wasn’t interested in Akahito calmed him down gradually.

“Ouch, rejected by a woman,” Akahito said, pretending to be wounded by placing a hand over his heart as if it ached.  

Kagome ignored him when she realized that the Western Lord cared more for her than she, and even he, had previously thought. 

CLIFF NOTE #1: When Kagome tells Sesshomaru 'it's not what you think,' she is referring to when Sesshomaru caught them in the compromising position because at that time, Kagome was comforting Akahito, and Akahito had accepted her hug, instead of forcing the issue to lose himself in sex to make him forget about his pain if but for a little while. Yes, Akahito had tried to seduce Kagome, but when Sesshomaru showed, the two were only hugging each other, not continuing with Akahito's sexual advances. So yes, Sesshomaru's conclusions were wrong, that 'it's not what [he] think[s]'.
