Wasn't Exactly the Very Best

When they first met, it wasn't exactly the very best meetings rather, it was the exact opposite. If she recalls correctly, she had accidentally bumped into him and well, she wasn't exactly in her very best mood and sort of lashed out on him. She left angry and he didn't look happy either. But seriously though, he acted as if he owned the place, and it made her blood boil even more. She hoped she'll never see him again.

The second time they met was more like an extension of their first since it happened on the very same day. It kind of even resembled how they first met, with her yelling at him while he was being his arrogant self. But this time her friends were present. It was Sango who told her that yelling at the man wasn't probably the very best thing to do. Sango was right, of course, and she learned that he acted like he owned the place because he actually did. She really hoped she'll never see him again.

But that was then, and now is now. First impression last they say, but she's glad it isn't that way between them. However some things never change. He's still as arrogant as ever but she learns that he is kind, and gentle, and sweet in his own way. And as she looks at him now from across the table, she's thankful she met him because she knows she has an excellent friend in him.

"What?" he asks. He must have felt her staring.

She shakes her head and smiles broadly, "Nothing. I was just thinking how awfully sweet and kind you are despite how grouchy you look." She teases him and laughs when he looks offended.

"Then don't," he snorts and returns to reading whatever it was he was reading. "You don't make any sense when you do."

She sticks her tongue out, "I always make perfect sense."

He snorts again as if to say 'whatever'.

Okay, so maybe not all the time but she knows this time, that THIS time she absolutely makes perfect sense. Because she knows he's a busy man and yet here he is, having lunch with her.

It is moments like this that Kagome is certain that one of the very best things that came to her life is Sesshoumaru.

No doubt about it.
