Family Ties

Chapter 1: Arrival ::part 1::

Nervousness, anxiety, and frustration, those were the most common feelings Kagome felt right now. The anxiety and frustration was most likely caused from her being on a plane. She was never too fussy about planes, just the thought of being miles above land and then if the smallest mistake was to happen it would go hurdling down to the ground...wasn't very reassuring. She loved the thought of being above the clouds, but crashing still frightened the living daylights out of the poor girl. So to keep herself occupied, Kagome fiddled around with the small pack of peanuts the stewardess handed her earlier.

"Are you okay?" Kagome looked over to her companion, getting lost for a second in his amber colored eyes, "Kagome?"

She averted her eyes with a small blush from staring; missing the small smile it caused on his face. She smiled sweetly at him for a second then looked out the window, giving the wing of the plane a dirty look, "Sesshoumaru, you know how I feel about planes," then she turned back to him with a small pout.

Sesshoumaru smirked as he lowered his head so that their foreheads touched, "you know, your very sexy when you pout," his eyes keeping a steady contact with her own.

Kagome blushed slightly, unable to steer her gaze away, "Sesshoumaru, what are you doing? We're on a plane!" she whispered hastily.

He gave a small chuckle at her shyness, "they say elevation increases sexual stimulation"

"Sesshoumaru I'm serious," she whispered back, her blush deepening at his hungry stare.

He closed his eyes with a small smile, then raised himself up to sit straight in his seat again, "just trying to cheer you up and get your mind off that petty fear of yours"

"And what makes you think that that would take my mind off being on this plane, you goof!" she gave him a small playful hit on his arm.

Sesshoumaru raised a delicate eyebrow, "I'll have you know that I am no 'goof', I'm a well respected businessman with a beautiful yet verbally abusive woman at my side"

Kagome made a light snort, trying to hold in her giggles as she watched his stoic expression look down at her, but she could see the smile within his eyes, "you forget to mention the odd sense of humor"

"Yes, you are very odd, aren't you?" he retorted her accusation.

"Not me!" she laughed as an announcement was made over the plane intercom.

Sesshoumaru covered her mouth with his while she was caught off guard, "I know," he gave her a charming smile, one he had ever shown her, "get ready, the plane's about to land"

Kagome smiled at him, then as she felt the plane begin to descend from the sky, took a deep breath to calm herself, of course, it also helped that Sesshoumaru was holding her hand to comfort her.

Kagome met Sesshoumaru two years ago during a tour of a local university on a school trip. The tour was open to the public and it just so happened that Sesshoumaru had taken the tour with her class. They had somehow sprung up a conversation with each other and he ended up asking her out on a date.

At the time, Kagome was sixteen, Sesshoumaru was twenty. So of course her mother was livid about her teenage daughter going out with an adult man. And it didn't help when her mother found out that he had only been taking the tour at the university for kicks and was already a fairly successful businessman, impressed her maybe, but didn't make things better.

Later, after she had begun to get to know Sesshoumaru, she was much more comfortable around him. But she had told Kagome to watch out, because he wasn't a teenager and as insecure about his sexuality as Kagome, she actually warned Kagome that he would probably force himself on her. What a way to trust her daughter in her choices of men...Kagome could never understand her mother half the time.

Her mother was wrong though; Sesshoumaru waited patiently until she was ready, which just so happened to be a week ago at her prom. It was a magical experience, everything she had expected, Sesshoumaru was a wonderful lover, Of course, being graduated also meant she was an adult now, free to be on her own, which explains why she was on a plane, ready to land in Tokyo.

Sesshoumaru had been taking care of his father's business affairs in America at the time they had met, and he volunteered to stay there until Kagome was able to go to Tokyo with him and meet his family. Kagome wasn't completely oblivious to Japan though, her family had moved to America when she was twelve. She was actually excited to be back, she would finally get to meet Sesshoumaru's family and learn more about her native culture.

Kagome wasn't completely sure if it, but she had a pretty good idea that she could very well be in love with Sesshoumaru. She had never been in love before, so she wouldn't have been familiar with it even if it had whacked her over her head full force. But she loved to be around Sesshoumaru and he always made her happy. But Kagome also knew the consequences of being with Sesshoumaru, no matter how caring he was, and great to be around, he was still a businessman, and his job was one of his priorities in life. Which Kagome hated because his job consumed a lot of their time together, but Kagome respected him for being good at what he did, and he usually made up for his time away. Of course, he would probably be even busier while they were in Japan. But she was just happy to be with him, she even applied to Tokyo University so that it would be even easier for them to be together without having a long-distance relationship.

Shortly after they had landed and picked up their luggage, Kagome walked out into the airport parking lot and spotted a taxi, but just as she was about to run over to guarantee their ride, she felt a gentle grasp on her waist.

"This way," Sesshoumaru corrected in a slight singsong voice. He led her over to a black convertible that seemed to be parked in the perfect standout spot. Kagome was sure of the exact type, but she knew it had to be a Ferrari of some sort, "we already have our ride"

Kagome looked at the car for a moment, then thought out loud, "you left your car in the airport parking lot for 2 years?"

"I had my father have it sent down earlier today," he jingled the keys in front of his face before opening the drivers door, simultaneously opening the others also, then proceeded to place their luggage in the trunk.

Kagome climbed into the passenger's side, which she noticed was on the left, opposed to the average American vehicle. She smiled and mentally chuckled as she watched Sesshouamru start his car, he couldn't even lose a small bit of his reputation to even use a taxi.

For the most part, so far the ride to Sesshoumaru's family's house was quiet, they were both content in their silent companionship.

Kagome watched out the window, admiring the scenery that past by, mind you it was all that scenic since Tokyo was a huge city after all, but it seemed magical to her.

"So, how much longer is it until we get there?" she asked after a while of missing his voice.

"Ten minutes or so," he raised an eyebrow and exchanged her gaze, "are you that excited?"

"Well, it would be nice to know who raised my Sessy," she replied with a bright smile at the expense of his deadpan stare from his little nickname, "so yes, I guess it is pretty exciting"

Sesshoumaru gave her a small 'hn' in comprehension, and continued to store out the windshield towards oncoming traffic, "my mother is a very friendly and witty person, I'm sure you two will get along fine. My father is much like myself, but maybe a bit more openly animated... my brother is a reckless, promiscuous, utterly annoying child trapped in a 19 year olds body," he mentioned the last sentenced with a frown.

'His brother's 19?' Kagome knitted her eyebrows together in concentration as she thought back, "but I thought your brother was older than you?"

Sesshoumaru leaned his head in her direction as if he were to turn his head to look at her, but he kept his eyes on the road, "no, I had only mentioned I had a brother, I never mentioned an age, you just assumed him to be older"

Kagome shook her head slightly at her spontaneous assumptions, then made a small smile towards her lover, "well he can't be all that bad, right? And besides, you haven't seen him in 2 years, he's probably completely different from what you remember him to be"

He gave an indecent snort at his girlfriend's friendly comment about his brother, "hn, maybe," of course he wasn't serious as he spoke and it was evident in his voice, 'if she only knew,' that's when Sesshoumaru made a note to keep Kagome away from his ass of a brother and his lecherous friends. "Enough about my brother, he probably won't be home much anyway while we're here"

Kagome looked over to him in question, but Sesshoumaru just exchanged her glance with a smirk in his eyes leaving the answer to her own imagination as the car turned and was set in 'park'.

Feeling the sudden inertia push her forward, Kagome realized the car had stopped, she turned her head to look for the house to which the driveway belonged, a huge building stood in her way, then of course she saw it was the house. She stared in awe for a second, the house seemed to be 5 large rooms wide and at least 3 floors high. Well, she shouldn't have expected less, after all, Sesshoumaru's father had quite the successful business in the stock market...or was it international affairs? She wouldn't doubt it if it were both and she thought Sesshoumaru had mentioned his mother being a lawyer. What a family.

Sesshoumaru surveyed the driveway quickly. Noticing there was no other car present, he didn't know where they could be, he had told his father when they would be arriving, "it seems we may be alone for a while"

"Oh?" Kagome yawned out, "where are they?"

"I'm sure they won't be long, but meanwhile we can get some rest and adjust to the time"

Kagome nodded her head drowzily in agreement, "but then we'll be up all night"

"I'm sure we can find something to occupy ourselves with during the late hours of the night if you can't sleep," he replied huskily, looking back at her slightly as he turned the key to open the front door.

She made a small blush at his implement as she followed him through the door with her small carry-on bag. The interior of the house seemed even bigger than it's exterior, yet still homey.

Sesshoumaru smiled as he saw the girl yawn once more as she looked around the main hall, "come, I'll show you where we'll be sleeping, I'll get the luggage later," he gently took her hand and led her up a flight of stairs. He stopped at a door in the center of the hallway and opened the door, turning on the light, "hm, just as I left it"

"This is your room?" Kagome asked as she stepped around feeling the mahogany dresser and peering into the built-in bathroom.

"Yes, mother must have cleaned it due to our coming of presence," he answered, rubbing a finger on a desk, noting no dust, "why don't you take a nap and I'll wake you up in an hour or two...or whenever they arrive?"

"aww, but I'm not tired," Kagome seemed to be the equivalent of a child at the moment as she walked over to Sesshoumaru with puppydog eyes.

"Your not tired?" he replied with a feign sympathetic tone, then smirked as he lowered his head and gave her a small kiss, "well, we just have to do something to make you tired—no, exhausted, now won't we?"

Sesshoumaru slowly walked her backwards until the backs of her knees hit the bed's edge, having her fall backwards on the soft sheets. He slowly climbed over her and looked down at her with a smug hungry smile.

"Sesshoumaru," Kagome giggled as he planted small kisses along her jaw, "is this all you can think about?" she raised an eyebrow when he finally looked at her.

"Well, I've been waiting 2 years to make love to you, you wouldn't deny me now would you?" he said in a sensuous tone, resting his forehead on hers.

Kagome smiled, "I guess not"

"Especially not after last night, right?"

"Sesshoumaru!" she gave him a playful hit, "you really must stop acting so lewd"

He grinned and gave a small chuckle, " I can't help it, I have to—"

insert Mission Impossible Theme ring tone

"—shit," he cursed under his breath.

"Huh? You have to shit?" the ring hadn't reached Kagome's ears yet, she was still in fantasy land.

Pwsh, what a place to end off right? I really didn't mean to end it there, it just happened, I know Sesshoumaru's a bit OOC, but you know he has to act a bit different when he's around his s/o right?!
