..... would that make you happy? Or them truly happy? (Oh Sesshomaru, her poor mate. This was proving more and more that he does have feelings and understanding, even just a small amount. But this, was something he would need to see for himself.

Feeling him carry her as well as the feeling of his fur to keep her warm. This was one of the few times she was grateful to be so small and light. Her mother's song, she was glad to see that it was having a positive effect on him, even by just a tiniest amount. Another kiss is gently placed on the top of his head once the song was over. Now, now was the time for silence unless he wishes to speak again.]

...no. {Sesshomaru answers the first question and then, after some thought, he attempts to answer the second:} Some would be happy. Others not.

{She is everything he isn't: soft and sweet. He holds her close, protecting her from any chill and... When his hand caresses her hair, he nudges the circlet just enough to find...

Ears? Running his thumb along one, his eyebrows rise in surprise.}

Am I to blame for these?

... [Another kiss to his head. Who broke his heart like this?] Not right now, not while your heart is so hurt. [She sighs and shakes her head.] Then for the ones who wouldn't be happy, still mingle among them. Even if it is just them.

[Some more kisses before sighing as she lets him pet her hair. Only for a sound to leave her when he found her ears. The fur along them was soft like velvet.]

No? How could you be the blame for them?

[Should he nudge the circlet more, not only would he discover the ears but also a fluffy tail as well.]

{He has realized the void between humans and demons. Trying to cross it might be impossible.}

I would not mind seeing them. {But he has to protect himself. He can't leave himself as open, as vulnerable. They likely didn't even notice.

Her ears are soft and he lifts the circlet from her brow to free them. His expression gentles and he tilts his head to catch a glimpse of the tail too.}

It's the magic of this place. Bonds cause bodies to change. It is called Kizuna.

[It would be impossible for now, not without hurting him more. But she isn't one to talk as she lives in the forest due to her own issues with humans.]

Then see them.... When you are ready. If you need me, just call or come to my nest whenever you desire.

[Her blush deepens as he removes the circlet and more and more of her changes are revealed. Her ears twitches from their position once freed.]

So our bond may have caused this?....

[A small frown before sighing and shaking her head.]

Even so, if it is a price to pay for our bond, then I would be happy to pay it.

[Even if it isn't as deep as others he has.]

{She is... Sesshomaru comes to a decision and presses a kiss to her forehead.}

I will build a home here. For you. For us. {The twitch of those ears makes him smile. As beautiful and desirable as she is, Leanne is innocent and... He will protect her.}

Yes. {Her frown worries him until she speaks again.} Would you consider mating with me in the future?

{He nuzzles her cheek.}

You are alone. I understand how that feels. I will help you feel at home.

[This.... This was unexpected. Her blush both softens but also somehow deepens at not only the forehead kiss but also his words.]

I shall look forward to it and do my best to make it warm for you. As well as desirable for you to always return to.

[And stop staring at her ears! It's making them twich even more. His question made her blink before giggling a little. She gives him a loving and just a little heated kiss.]

You are my mate, I would always consider mating with you now and in the future.

[She lets out a few coos and chirps as he nuzzles her cheeks. Though at his words, her eyes well up a little and she allows a few tears to fall from her eyes.]

Thank you, Sesshomaru... truly thank you. I will try and ease your loneliness away so you won't have to feel that way again...

I will return. {He loves the forest. His apartment in the city is usable, however it can never compare to the trees.} We will have all we need to live away from the city.

{How can he stop? He meets her kiss with a small shudder, burying a hand in her hair.}

You can rely on me. Whatever you need, just ask.

{Her tears surprise him and then... His heart aches. Raising one of her hands, he kisses her palm slowly.}

If all Herons are like you, I would defend your people for the rest of my life.

I will then make sure to always have some tea ready for you when you come home. (She smiles even more and nods.) Yes, we will. I can help hide it away from most eyes.

[That she had learned from Serenes itself.

Her ears continues to twich, failing to stand up with one flopping onto her face, before it went back to where it normally rests. His shudder could be felt and she finds herself leaning a little against his hand.]

I will ask and rely on you if I am in need.

[More tears fall at his words and his slow kisses to her palm.]

They... Would have been honored, Sesshomaru.

[She goes to shake her head.]

I am the last one, the very last one of my kind in my world.

[And because of it, it was how she understood loneliness.]

{Her plans earn her several more kisses - or maybe he just likes kissing her? He rests their heads together and reaches back to caress her wings.}

Make it part of the forest. I will be able to find it and you without issue.

{He licks at her tears, tasting the salt on his tongue. Then he nods and brings her hand to his chest.}

Though I have a brother, I am the only pure demon son of my father and mother. My father is dead and my mother keeps herself sequestered in her palace.

[A soft sound leaves her as he kisses her. It seems like he was a very affectionate demon, at least towards her. When he caresses her wings, a small shiver and moan leaves her.]

From your eyes, I will find a way for it to never be hidden.

[But she does give him a few kisses for his words.

Feeling his tongue on her face as he licks her tears causes a small shiver to go through her. She stares at her hand on his chest before nuzzling his neck.]

I am sorry... It must have been hard, my mate.

[And it also explains why he is so cold at first. She gives his neck a few kisses.]

The more reason to make sure that you will never feel loneliness again.

{Affection is...new. Very new to him. Sesshomaru has kept icy control over himself since the beginning and Jikan has shattered his ability to continue doing so. Everything he learned thanks to Inuyasha, Rin and Naraku has led him to this place. He is a victim of Jikan's magic, yet how can he complain?

He kisses from her lips to her throat, pleased that he will never be blocked from their home.}

It is ours.

{He decides rapidly that he doesn't like seeing her cry. Entwining their fingers, he shakes his head.}

I am strong because of it. I must stand alone.

[Even though it was new for him, she was still thankful to receive it whenever he gives it to her. She will hold and give him all the affection she can so that from now on, there wouldn't be a day that goes by without receiving some.

A softer moan leaves her as he trails his kisses down to her neck. Her new ears twitching and trembling a little in response.]

Our home. Whenever you are ready, we can go searching for the ideal spot.

[It had such a nice ring to it. It was feeling like a dream.

She goes to lean more against him as he entwined their fingers.]

But you are no longer alone.

[She sighs before moving to give him a loving kiss.]

You are the strongest person I ever met, my mate.

{He will seek her affection daily; it will be an unspoken bond between them. She is soft and sweet - his spirit feels at peace when he is near her. One of his hands rises to soothe those poor trembling ears, caressing them while he nuzzles her shoulder.}

I know where.

{A place where the city can't be heard and where nature stands strong. He parts his lips into their kiss, gathering her against his chest.}

Strength comes in many forms. You have your own.

[She will give it to him freely; this precious bond between them. A small leaves her when she feels him soothing her ears, it was such a different sensation. A hand lifts to rest and pet the back the his head.]

You do?

[She smiles at the thought that he already picked out where they will live.

Her wings move to cup him once more within them as he gathers her against his chest.]

I do? How so?

[And let's trail her kisses from his lips to his jawline and then to his ear.]

{He hopes she doesn't hide her ears. A heron with rabbit ears is a delightful sight, but he might be biased. Just seeing her, however she comes, fills him with warmth.}

Mm. We can journey there now.

{Rising onto his feet, his arms full of her, Sesshomaru steals a kiss and smirks.}

Some wouldn't survive being the last. You have and you find reason to live.

{His ear twitches and color gathers at the pointed tip.}

[It may take her a bit to no longer hide her ear. But perhaps one day soon, for when they are home she will no longer use the circlet to hide her ears and tail. Yes. She will work herself up to do that since in essence, it was him who gave her these features by bonding with her.]

We can?

[A few giggles leave her as he stands so easily even when she fills his arms. She couldnt help but to beam a little as he steals the kiss and smirks....

Before blushing quite a bit.]

I... I have to keep their memory alive as well as their wishes.

[And oho~? That was a rather cute reaction and she gives his ear another kiss before deciding to be a bit bold with a playful nip. A light one so it wouldn't hurt him or so she hopes.]

{He doesn't realize it, but soon he will have animal features of his own. Thanks to her. She, more than anyone, has given him peace and a sense of home.}

I will take you.

{He begins to walk, carrying her without effort. Then he leaps into the air and flies them onward.}

That takes bravery. No one is forcing you to carry on.

{Since his ears are sensitive, Sesshomaru has a very hard time stifling a groan at the nip. His ear flattens itself against his hair and color rises on his cheeks.}

[She will have to make sure to gush over any animal features he gets. He would forever be the most handsome in this world to her. He was able to give her one full night's of rest and made her feel safe.]

I can fly, Sesshomaru.

[She giggles out but doesn't make an effort to leave his arms. It will never cease to amaze her just how he can fly without wings. Demons... They were truly wondrous beings.]

Thank you... Never thought about it like that.

[Another giggle and she starts looking pleased with herself. Allowing herself to be like this with him in the moment. She will stop for now so he could focus. But his ears are going to be forever hers when she feels playful.]

{She will have more full nights of rest. Many more. He ignores her comment and keeps flying in the direction of where he wishes to reside. Upon arriving, he lands softly before a clearing surrounded by great trees.}

Here. {He sets her down so she can explore.} The sound of the city is silenced. No one would wander this far. Your eyes are safe.

{Her giggling tells him all he needs to know. So she has found a sensitive spot? He trusts her with the knowledge.}

[If only he knew just how precious that gift will be. To have those full nights of rest away from her nightmares and trauma. She blinks at where they landed and she goes to explore.

Peaceful, there was nothing but nature here. She closes her eyes with a blissful expression as her wings begin to glow. A flap from them and the glow travelled to the grass and soon, some flowers sprouted in time fore her to flop to her back.]

It's perfect, Sesshomaru! [It was a praise as she smiles over towards him, as her wings glow again from happiness.]

How did you find this place?

[Oh yes, his newly discovered sensitive spot will be safe with her at least in front of others.]

{What nightmare would dare challenge Lord Sesshomaru? He will cut them down, one by one, until her mind and heart can rest as they deserve.

Seeing her glow makes everything worthwhile and he admires the little flowers.}

I spend my nights in the air. {At least for a few hours.} I know this forest. We are standing in the heart of it.

[The one that has been plaguing her for over 20 years with no end in sight. The greatest gift would be to finally be free from it.

She remains glowing before holding out her hands towards him, smiling.]

Join me~

[That smile is never going to leave right now as she listens.]

Do you prefer the skies over the ground? Hnnn~ I can feel it's heart, it is beautiful.

[And if he joins her, he will be getting so many kisses of all types.]
