Five hundred years ago, Sesshomaru met Kagome. Three years later, she disappeared. Five hundred years later they met again... though she didn't know that.
Sesshomaru sat at the window seat, sipping his jasmine tea and reading an email on his laptop. The small cafe had unintentionally became his favourite place to do... anything really. The miko's aura soothed him in a way that no one had been able to do for over four hundred years... not since Rin died.
He didn't know when being around the miko had become so soothing and he didn't know why he let himself so attached to her.
It's been six weeks since he first 'met' her, and three times a week he came for 'Dennee's famous Jasmine Tea' as he explained to her the time she asked if she had met him before.
'No, I believe we have not met before.' He had murmured in his baritone voice. She frowned in confusion, obviously trying to place the beautiful stranger. 'I'm sure if we had met before this day, I would have remembered such a beautiful lady as yourself.' She had blushed prettily, nodded, accepting that she had not met him before, and asked him what he would like. Jasmine Tea, he answered, I have been coming here for years to drink Dennee's famous jasmine tea.
'Good morning Dennee-chan.' Kagome said tiredly as she walked into the small but semi-famous cafe. Unintentionally, Sesshomaru's green eyes flicked over to her form as she walked towards the back. He noted that she had dark circles under her eyes and she looked run down.
Kagome grabbed her apron and went behind the counter, taking over at the register for Dennee.
'Is your grandfather sick again?' Dennee asked softly next to Kagome.
'Yeah... the cancer has come back. I'm taking over work at the shrine.' She said, but then she smiled. 'But no more talk about that, it's time to work.' Dennee frowned and grabbed Kagomes fore arm softly.
'Don't work today, Kagome. Go home and get some sleep.'
'I can't Dennee, you know I need the money.' Kagome said, grabbing her pen and pad, moving to table three. After she took their orders she turned back to Dennee. 'Holiday pay. Take the rest of the week off to get sleep, catch up on stuff around the shrine and you'll get paid for it. You know you've got enough paid holidays stocked about to take a week off.' Dennee grinned, knowing that she had won Kagome off. She moved closer to Kagome, her mouth close to Kagomes ear. 'Now go sit next to Yoshida-sama, he can't keep his eyes off of you.' Kagomes eyes flicked over to him and he nodded in greeting, making her blush. 'I'll bring you some tea.' Then Dennee pushed her, making Kagome stumble towards Sesshomaru.
'Good morning Yoshida-sama.' Kagome said as she reached his table. He gestured for her to sit down and she nodded her thanks politely.
'Goodmorning Kagome-san.' He smiled.
'Please, only Kagome.' She said. Dennee came over and refilled Sesshomarus cup, then poured Kagome a cup. Dennee winked at Kagome then walked away. Kagome glared at Dennee's back but blushed.
'Then please call me Kin.' He said, then he turned to watch Dennee walk towards the cash register. 'Is... is Dennee-san ok?' Acting oblivious to Dennee staring at him and talking about him.
'No, she's not.' Kagome laughed. They settled into small talk until Kagome finished her tea. Dennee came up to pore another cup for her, but Kagome stood up. 'No, Dennee, I have to go home now. Thank you for everything.' Kagome said, hugging Dennee tightly.
'Not at all.' Dennee smiled. Then she peered over Kagomes shoulder to see Yoshida-sama looking at them from the corner of his eye. 'I'll come by the shrine tomorrow after work and help you with the work.' Then, seemingly like the idea only just came to her (it didn't, the devilish Dennee had been planning it since she caught Yoshida-sama staring at her friend), she smiled and looked over at Yoshida-sama. 'Yoshida-sama!'
Sesshomaru looked up at the pair standing side by side and raised an eye brow.
'Do you have plans for tomorrow night, Yoshida-sama? Kagome needs help around her shr-'
'Oh no, no, no!' Kagome said with a laugh. She turned to Dennee and said 'No' very sternly.
'I am not busy tomorrow night Dennee-san.' He looked at Kagome. 'I'd be happy to help you, Kagome.' Kagome paused with her fussing and locked eyes with him, and suddenly she had the strange urge to get to know him more.
'Thank you.' She said. 'Thank you... Kin.'
