Sesshoumaru's Secret

Chapter Two

By: Luna

…

Sesshoumaru stared down at the lovely face of the new girl, almost feeling entranced at the way the short wispy black locks curled slightly around her face, and at the bright blue eyes that stared up at him with a surprised expression. Her skin, hidden before by her shaggy cut and the large, thick glasses, was milky white and blemish free.

Sesshoumaru sighed irritably and held out his hand to Kagome, already wondering how he would keep this new secret. He felt… possessive. She was so tiny, so physically perfect, that he didn't want anyone to know what he knew.

When he noticed all Kagome did was stare dumbly at his hand, he moved his fingers impatiently and glared down at her. "What are you waiting for? You like the floor or something?"

Kagome blinked behind her thick glasses. With a beaming smile that made Sesshoumaru's heart skip a beat, she reached out and placed her hand in his.
