Tripping Over You

Theme: Falling because I was looking into your eyes from across the room and I

tripped

"Ow." Kagome moaned in pain as she used the kitchen chair to haul herself up off the floor. Looking across the room she glowered at Sesshoumaru who was barely containing his mirth.

"Ya, sure, laugh all you want, it's all your fault anyway." The instant the words were out of her mouth Kagome regretted speaking. You would think that after 500 years of living with him she would have learned not to give him anything to hang over her head. But oh no, she just had to give away the reason for her ungracious fall onto the tiled floor.

Damnit! There wasn't even a rug that she could claim to have tripped over. It was either the truth or claim that she tripped over the air. Right. Like Sesshoumaru would actually fall for that one. It might have worked once, a long, long time ago, but that had been when they dealt with a demoness that controlled the wind, so it hadn't been all that conspicuous.

The look in Sesshoumaru's eyes told Kagome that he was on the hunt. He slinked across the kitchen, long silver hair swinging behind him slightly. His molten gold eyes that Kagome loved so much were bright with humour.

"Oh, my fault how little miko?" Kagome grit her teeth. He was calling her 'miko' just to piss her off, they both knew that she was more likely to blurt the truth out if she was ticked at him, but Kagome vowed that this time she wouldn't fall for his stupid plan.

"I don't know what you're talking about Sesshoumaru." He smirked, the tips of his fangs showing. Kagome inwardly cursed him, he could smirk without showing any fang, he only did it because he knew she was slightly turned on by it. Years of reading vampire romance novels had after effects after all.

"Sesshomaru, really, I just fell and decided to blame you for no reason, honest." Sesshoumaru wasn't deterred by her reason for falling, instead he continued to hone in on her and Kagome gulped quietly when Sesshomaru pressed against her. He slowly pushed her back until she hit the counter and then he leaned into her, pressing their bodies together tightly and making Kagome squirm.

"You were saying?" Staring into his scorching eyes Kagome lost herself. She could see nights of passion and lazy kisses in his eyes along with walks in the night, curling up with each other; deep embraces. She could see her whole world in his eyes.

And, just like when she had looked into his eyes from across the room and forgotten herself, thus falling, when she lost herself again in his eyes she spoke without thinking.

"I tripped over you." Sesshoumaru's warm breath ghosted over her face as he chuckled slightly. His hand reached up to caress her face, sharp claws lightly running over her smooth skin.

"Come back Kagome." The soft kiss he placed on her mouth had Kagome snapping back to reality and blushing, causing Sesshoumaru to chuckle again.

"This Sesshoumaru realizes you like his eyes but he...I...did not realize that it would be hazardous to you...miko." Kagome growled playfully at him.

"Well then, you'll just have to be there to catch me when I fall next time." Sesshoumaru laughed outright before he was abruptly stopped by Kagome stealing his breath away.
