Chapter Two
Someone's Home Early
"Sesshoumaru?"
Kagome watched him walk out the bathroom, then seconds later heard the bedroom door open and close. Kagome had fallen asleep while in the bath and woke up to find her skin pruning. She had just gotten out and was about to grabbed a towel when the door opened. God he looked so different then before. He had cut off his long silver hair to a more professional look the back was really short getting longer as it went up and he still has his bangs hanging over dark eyebrows right above smoldering amber eyes. He was wearing a silk silver button-up that was unbuttoned showing of his chest muscles and washboard abs, he clearly spends time working out and it really paid off to because he looked delicious.
Kagome didn't know what to do. She just saw the man she's been dreaming about since she hit puberty, and he had also seen her completely naked, how was she suppose to face him after that. Kagome let out a yawn and decided to worry about it in the morning. She wrapped the towel around her body and headed for her room for the night.
The next morning Kagome woke up to find a Rin at the end of her bed cheezing like crazy.
"Rin what the hell is up with you?" Kagome asked laughing at her friends silly look.
"You do know what day it is right?"
"Yes it's the 23rd. Why?"
"Kagome your crazy, to day is Friday that means that the gardener comes and you know how much I love him, come on we have to get in our bathing suits he will be here any minute."
Kagome laughed but got up and did Rin's bidding like always. Kagome pulled her long wavy hair into a high ponytail, and slipped into her neon yellow string bikini. Grabbed her towel and flip flops and rushed to Rin's room to wait for her to get dressed.
Rin left her brown hair letting the tips graze her shoulders. And she had her new baby pink bikini on. Rin was beautiful, she was kind of on the short side only 5'4, she was fit, with long legs slim waist and tummy, her breast were a little on the small side barely a B unlike Kagome who had a whopping set of Ds, but she had an amazing figure. Rin was absolutely in love with the gardener his name was Shippo he was 20 and very handsome, with long red hair and green eyes, He didn't work out but with all the work he did on the Tashio land kept him in really good shape.
Shippo showed up about twenty minute after we reached the pool. Kagome was sunbathing while Rin flirted away.
"Hey Shippo been a while."
Shippo put on that dazzling smile, "It has, about two weeks, something came up last Friday and I wasn't about to make it here. "
"So what are you working on today?"
"Well you father said something about groundhogs tearing up along the south wall, they got rid of him but he wanted me to fix it up."
"Mind if I join you I would like to help?"
"Yeah that would be really great, I'd enjoy the company,"
Rin looked over at Kagome, "Hey Kagome you don't mind do you?"
"No I'm fine ya'll go on I'll be here when you get back."
"Thanks Kagome you're the best."
Kagome just nodded threw her sunglasses on, grabbed her I pod and pushed shuffle as she stuck the ear buds in her ears. Kagome sat there for a few minutes soaking up some sun and thinking about a silver god. When the sun suddenly went away.
"What the hell?" Kagome pulled off her sunglasses and amber eyes met her blue ones.
Sesshoumaru woke up to the most god awful sound, that was coming from the room next to his. He had just returned to his room a couple of hours ago hoping that the girl was no longer there. He could resist once but twice ha not happening. Sesshoumaru was both glad and disappointed that she was gone.
Heading down the stairs and into the kitchen to find his father at the breakfast bar sipping black coffee and reading the paper.
"Sesshoumaru, son, what a nice surprise we weren't expecting you for a few more hours," Inu said when he saw him.
"Yeah got and earlier flight and arrived last night, what the bloody hell is going on in that guest room."
"Oh that, plumbers, that shower was broken, they are fixing it, I wanted Kagome to have a working one."
"Kagome?"
"Come now son, you must remember her she's been Rin's best friend since she was 5. Although you haven't seen her in a few years."
Sesshoumaru thought a minute, "That girl with the freckles and black hair, kind of chunky."
"That was her al though she don't have freckles anymore when I think about it and she certainly isn't chunky, and her black hair is really long now."
"Ah." Sesshoumaru said smiling thinking about the ugly duckling who turned into a swan. "So where is my lovely sister and guest?"
Inu gave Sesshoumaru a questioning stare but answered anyways. "Outside around the pool I'm sure."
"It is a nice day for a swim isn't it."
"Sesshoumaru what are you up to."
"Nothing father just a beautiful day outside wouldn't want to waste it inside."
Sesshoumaru walked away with out another word, and went to his room to change into some shorts. Sesshoumaru found Kagome all by herself laying on a towel by the pool, sunglasses on listing to music. She is so unsuspecting thought Sesshoumaru as he walked up to stand over her.
"What the hell?" Sesshoumaru heard her say before she took off her glasses, and he felt like he was drowning in her deep blue eyes.
"Good morning Kagome."
"Hey Sesshoumaru how have you been you look different than when you left."
Sesshoumaru ran his fingers through his short hair and smiled down at Kagome. "You look different yourself from the last time I saw you."
"Yep sure did," Laughed Kagome, "All grown up huh, you should see Rin she looks way different to not wearing those glasses anymore."
Sesshoumaru lowered himself down to lay next to Kagome.
Kagome looked over at him still grinning, "How was college."
Sesshoumaru put his hands behind his head and sighed, "Long."
"I bet, I can't wait to go just one more year."
"Where you going to go?"
"Shikon U! you know I'm studying to be a priestess."
"Ah that's a respectable position."
"Yeah I know I'll get to travel, see all kinds of places and help all kinds of people, then one day take over the family shrine, its been my dream since before I can remember."
This Kagome seemed so different from the once he had met before, so grown up and full of passion. She seemed to radiate this energy that just made people happy, and feel safe. She made Sesshoumaru feel things he thought he would never feel.
"I just want the simple life, go to college for a few years then settle down doing what I love and raising children."
"You want children?" Sesshoumaru asked looking over at her.
Kagome stared up in the sky breathing in deep, "Oh yes many."
Sesshoumaru turned back to looking at the sky a smile on his face.
"So Mr. Tashio, what are you going to do."
"Well now that I'm finished with college, I will be taking my rightful place as vice president at Tashio Corp., until my father steps down them become full owner and president, but that's later right now I'm planning on taking a girl out to dinner."
Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru, thinking of course he has someone. "So what's she like this girl that your taking out?" Kagome asked with a hint of jealousy.
"Well she seems like a really good person and she has the most beautiful eyes like an ocean and long dark hair, and she looks gorgeous in a yellow bikini."
Startled, Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru smiled at her and raised single brown, "So would you Kagome?"
"Yeah," Kagome said without hesitation then her thoughts turned to Rin and what she would think about her best friend and her brother, "But what about Rin?"
Sesshoumaru thought a minute, "How bout after she goes to sleep you come to my room and we will have a private dinner, and we can talk to her when ever your ready."
"Ok well I'll see you tonight Sesshoumaru." Kagome rose from her place next to Sesshoumaru and walked back to the house.
Sesshoumaru laid there a little longer thinking about what was to come that night.
