I like where we are,
When we drive, in your car
I like where we are.... Here
There was a break and suddenly she was looking at him. He was a god in human form. He was all hers. And there was this silent wish that they both had. This wish to be together. “Sesshomaru,” she whispered, looking at her boyfriend. He was untouchable, yet there. And now he was hers. Kind of. There was still the little bit of him that made everyone in the school stay away from him. But she ignored that.
Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here
“What,” he swept his lips lightly over hers, and then looked away. Yes, he would never be completely hers. He would never be completely anyone’s. But, she was fine with that, because she loved him now. And she loved him for his dark mysteriousness and unchangeable ways and frozen heart. Part of her was happy to know that his heart would never be thawed.
Well, you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whisper's "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
“Would you have done anything if I had gone out with Miroku?” Miroku was the first man she had ever loved with every inch of her soul. He had taken her… and then left her… and then came back as if he had never left. But, by that time Sesshomaru stepped into her life and had taken Miroku’s place. Kind of. She knew that he knew that he would never have her totally and completely. Because nothing would ever be the same as her first love. But, she was glad that everything would be different.
I like where you sleep,
When you sleep, next to me.
I like where you sleep... here
“No.” His answer was simple and his eyes showed no disloyalty to her. He was just being truthful. After all, he was not the type to try to go after a girl if she was taken. He would more likely just ignore it. He didn’t really care a lot of things that way.
Our lips, can touch

For a few seconds, they just laid in the silence before Sango kissed him lightly on the lips. Then, she rested her cheek on his chest and found herself drifting off to sleep.

Sesshomaru watched his girlfriend as she slept with blank eyes. She was so young and spirited and he was… different. Although he was young, he felt old and he had none of the spirit that seemed to drive her. Where she was open and truthful, he had things to hide. Horrible things. Not for the first time, he wondered how he could have been stupid enough to fall in love, especially with her.

He looked at his watch, then at the darkening sky before picking the girl up and carrying her to his car. He considered driving far, far away, but he knew that Sango would never, could never, leave her brother behind. He was all she had. And he had things that he couldn’t leave behind, either. Like Rin.

“Hey,” Sango woke up, feeling drowsy. It took her a few moments to realize that she was in a moving car. “Where are we going?”
“Home.”
Sango nodded, “How’s Rin doing?”
“She’ll be fine.” Not for the first time Sesshomaru realized that Sango knew things that others didn’t. She knew about Rin. She really knew Rin. The girl adored Sango, too.
“What exactly happened to her?”
He shrugged, unable to tell her the abuse that she had gone through as a foster child. That was before he had adopted her. “Maybe I’ll tell you some other time.”

“See you,” she leaned over and gave Sesshomaru a small kiss before exiting the vehicle and walking up to her small home. And, with a smile, she slightly had a bounce in her step. This was the one. Sesshomaru was the guy that she had always wanted. She just hadn’t known it at the time.
Here in your arms.
Here in your arms.
