Excuse me! Mr. Mail-man!
Lady Nefertiti
Summary: You've got 'Male'
Last time: Surely he would've asked/said something….it's not like they were light or invisible. Unless…
Chapter 2: Misinformed?
-With Kagome- (her room)
There she sat on the ground still staring at the ceiling into nothingness really. She shivered but she didn't think it was due to the wet towel (that was gradually getting colder on her-skin with goose-bumps now) that she was wearing. What…what was that just now? Did she have a dream or a nightmare last night? About a really hot guy no less, then this other hot guy who was calling himself 'Sesshomaru Taisho' pops out of nowhere in front of her doorstep today saying hello and that he was their new mail-man.
Why….no….when did the post office hire hotties to deliver mail these days anyway? And just who the hell was he? Odd that he apparently knew who she was. Since the mailing address had her mom's name on it. So then hmm….was he the Stalker-type? Still a very sexy stalker-type…..Did that make it better?
'….'
Taking a deep breath she stood up and looked at herself in the stand up mirror, a wry (mild amusement, irony) look on her face. Why was she beating herself up, so to speak over nothing in particular? Just a silly-well a silly hot dream. But one thing was still bothering her. Why hadn't Sesshomaru said anything about the marks/bruises on her body? It was clearly visible to the naked eye! Unless…..Unless…Unless what? She bit her lip as she shook her head and took the wet towel off of her and went towards her closet.
It was almost as if she thought-no absolutely KNEW for sure that this hot guy from her dream had been the mail-man who was calling himself Sesshomaru. And he hadn't said anything because the marks on her body had been from him! Just a normal everyday occurrence so not to worry at all! What a ridiculous thought that was! She'd never seen this guy's face before and she laughed out loud.
Going through her closet she looked for something suitable and maybe warm to wear. 'Shorts…no…skirt….no….ahh….' Kagome thought finding the appropriate outfit and nodded pulling it off/down and examining it-mind elsewhere.
The sun was starting to set in the sky and Kagome heard the front door open then shut. Seemed like either mom or Sota was home. She grabbed the dress she had picked and pulled it over her head hearing her mom say she was home.
Kagome responded that she was too and was coming downstairs. Reaching the bottom she saw mom had brought groceries and helped her carry some to the kitchen. Mom was surprised to see her since Kagome had told her she'd be going out with the girls and guys this weekend to 'hang-out' see a movie, go out to eat etc….
Kagome shook her head and said she'd changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to be alone today and she'd see about tomorrow. But mom didn't need to know of this 'Sesshomaru' guy she had accidentally come into contact with? Or seen? Or had the pleasure of meeting? And the fact that she was wrapped in a towel in front of him, staring into those sexy amber eyes of his. How scandalous a thought that was!
Or how hot he was…
Or how Kagome's insides churned (stir, flamed) with desire to just touch him?
Or how Kagome was so disappointed he hadn't (cough) brought her any mail? Or even a box to (cough) deliver to her?
Of course she'd tell her mom (well something about him) Because what if he showed up mom wouldn't know but think he was a random stranger. Kagome would just leave a few details out. No harm done!
Right now her conscious was berating her saying, 'yeah so then are you going to ask him if you can take his shirt off once he shows up at your doorstep tomorrow? Or perhaps he'll ask you if he can take that towel off of you..'
'…..'
Kagome's face flamed and thankfully mom's back was to her. She would've asked what the matter was. "Ah, I forgot to tell you mom that we have a new mail-man. Uhmm he (he what?) came to our door to say hello earlier. His name is Sesshomaru uhmm….Sesshomaru-san." Kagome said nodding that this was the truth and nothing but the truth.
"I see. That's great." Mom said. She turned and asked if Kagome told him to deliver the mail to their door. (Kagome's guilty conscious panicked thinking mom was 'onto her') but it wasn't so. Mom just asked if Kagome told him that they didn't have a mail-box so deliver to the door. And she nodded breathing a sigh of relief.
"So what uhhm what groceries did you bring? Are we eating that for dinner?" Kagome asked trying to 'casually' change the subject. No way did she want to continue discussing their new mail-man.
Well….their sexy, hot new mail-man that was….
"I'm home!" Sota called out walking into the house a few hours later and said he was hungry in the next sentence. Kagome smiled as she and Mom were both busy in the kitchen. He dropped his book bag on the ground sat down at the kitchen table and went over his day and excitedly talked about his newest crush 'Hitomi' he called her. Kagome was silently listening as he and Mom talked both not noticing Kagome's odd silence.
"And so I actually spoke to her today and she said yes! Isn't the great?! I can call her my girl-friend now right? Kagome? Hello? Uhh Kagome?" Sota asked waving a hand in her face. Where did she go? She was spacing out?
"Huh? Ah yes! That's great news Sota!" Kagome said with a head nod.
'….'
Sota's eyebrow twitched. Kagome seemed to have moved to another planet-or maybe another dimension. "So who is he?" Sota asked and crossed his arms. Face saying that he was about to give her a 'dad lecture'.
"WHHAATT!No one!" Kagome said waving her hands in front of her in a panicked tone that already sounded like a huge lie waiting to unfold or blow up in her face.
She'd been found out! (Conscious shaking its head and went elsewhere)
"So who is this special guy?! I'll kill him!" Sota said acting like an older brother who was way too over protective of his precious baby sister….
'…..'
Kagome shook her head and said she had been spacing out recently due to some dream-or nightmare-she had which seemed too real to have been a fake one. Well it wasn't a lie…..
"Hmm…." Sota said and decided to 'buy that explanation' for now and went on to talk about Hitomi and where they were going on their first date. Then said dinner smelled great and stood to see what it was.
He went to go upstairs to wash up and change as Kagome watched him go and then sweat-dropped. She was in trouble! What if she wanted to date Sesshomaru? What would her mom say? And Sota?! GAH! He already wanted to kill poor Sesshomaru! And they hadn't even met!
'Only date him? Like for real? Who are you lying to? You want to invite him into your home, marry him—make love and have babies!' Conscious said popping back in after a while berating Kagome.
Her conscious was the worst! Her biggest enemy!
"Uhhm mom I'm going to go upstairs and wash up as well. See you in a bit!" and took off demoness style before her mom even had a chance to get a word in. She was sure her face was really red and wanted to escape before her mom asked her anything. She shut the door and moved towards her bed sitting down taking very deep breaths.
Her mom would probably think she and Inuyasha were back together or something like that. It had been a while since the two broke up and Inuyasha was now dating Kikyo who'd recently transferred here from Kyoto.
….Not that Kagome was complaining at all! Kikyo and he seemed better off together anyway. Inuyasha was a really high-maintenance type of guy….who had the knack for acting like a 'dog' -and sometimes in front of the ladies too. Everyone fell for his pretty-boy looks with silver hair and gold eyes.
wait-just-a-second…..
'Silver hair-gold-colored eyes…..' Kagome's brain repeated again and again. She stood as a 'lightbulb' turned on/appeared in Kagome's head.
"Sesshomaru Taisho….could you be related to Inuyasha & their family?" Kagome said aloud to no one. Inuyasha never said anything or even mentioned having any siblings so perhaps Sesshomaru was a relative with similar features?
But this Sesshomaru had red-very distinctive stripes on the sides of his face-which made him stand out more and Inuyasha didn't. No way were the two even remotely related! Ha-ha! What a silly thought that was.
Odd though….she should've realized that both of them had the same last name of 'Taisho' Hard to miss? Maybe?
Besides the two were completely different! Inuyasha was made of fire and Sesshomaru was more like frozen icing that you'd want to lick off and have it melt in your mouth…..err….Damn that sounded dirty and Kagome flushed red patting her VERY RED cheeks which turned redder instead. What the hell was wrong with her?! She was turning into Miroku!
'…..'
-From Downstairs-
"Kagome! You coming down or not? otherwise I'm gonna eat all of dinner!" Sota said from the kitchen below. Kagome responded that she was coming and tried to….codeword: TRIED TO forget about Sesshomaru and that ridiculous dream she had last night and how she felt about it. She was just over-reacting and shook her head making her way downstairs…..
….Forgetting to pick up the torn lingerie and HIDE it in case mom came to (cough) investigate….
-With Inuyasha- (and the rest of the tachi)
Everyone had gone out to get a bite to eat-see a movie then were all slowly walking their way home through the local park. Even though everyone had a great time it was oddly silent. until…
BONK!
"Houshiii…Be glad I don't have any weapons to hurt you for real!" Sango said in a dangerous hissing warning tone and raised a fist (that she meant business)
"Ah love is really in the air isn't that so Sango-sama my love?" Miroku said happily (a slap imprint on his face) and he rubbed it lovingly (which only irked Sango more)
"Those two-I will never ever understand them." Rin said to Ayame. Hate-love relationship? Couldn't really say. Kouga and Inuyasha just looked at each other and Kikyo wasn't (or looked like) she wasn't paying attention. Indifferent maybe?
Even though Ayame was dating Kouga at the moment she said, "Kouga if you ever grope me like that I will make you see stars or perhaps make sure you can't ever use 'it' ever again-that would make it much better and more satisfying." She said in an eerie, sweet and evil tone.
Kouga looked nervous-hair standing on end-and nodded that 'he was a believer' and moved a few feet away from her and walked next to Inuyasha instead.
'…..'
"I'm still kinda concerned about Kagome's behavior this morning." Inuyasha said scratching his head. Though the two were not dating anymore-they were still friends and on good terms-and he'd made that very crystal clear to Kikyo so she didn't get any jealous thoughts on how to make Kagome's life hell.
"Yeah me too." Sango said tapping a finger to her chin and looked at the sky (and hit Miroku on the head at the same time) Multi-tasker she was…as everyone sweat-dropped. She said Kagome had arrived earlier than normal to school and didn't greet her (Sango) with her usual sunny and cheery smile/attitude.
"You think something's wrong at home?" Miroku asked while Sango glared daggers of immortal pain at him and he laughed nervously. (He was inching towards her luscious beautiful bottom again) It was just asking to be groped!
'…..'
"No. GASP! You think some stalker-fellow is after her or something?! Like wants to kidnap her? hold her hostage? Make Sexual advances?!" Inuyasha said panicking and was about to rush to Kagome's home…
"Stalker…..fellow?" Kouga repeated very slowly (still keeping a wide berth from Ayame)
"This is not that movie we just saw an hour ago baka!" Ayame said in an irritated voice. Honestly! Last time Inuyasha thought Kagome did dirty-dancing on weekends at the red-light district…..
"Can we please change the subject? I'm sure Kagome is doing just fine and wanted her own space for a while." Rin said sighing and pointed out that her boyfriend Shippo wasn't here today either.
"Fine. okay. So hey, Inuyasha you said your half-brother is coming or already came back to Tokyo?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah. About a week ago. I don't know why he picked such a ridiculous part-time job though-it's almost like he REALLY wanted that job for some reason. It's in the neighborhood where Kagome lives. I mean really? A mail-man? The hell with that. How do you meet cute girls like that? More like an embarrassment. And one from our family too…." Inuyasha said and didn't think much of it, his arms crossed as if he was in deep thought feeling very sorry for Sesshomaru.
"Hmm…" Miroku said (going into wise monk mode or was it Hentai mode?)
Inuyasha didn't look happy as he spoke about Sesshomaru. He was heir to their company and father had sent him to America for a few months to which he was happy about. (He'd be out of Inuyasha's hair for a while) The two weren't exactly close.
Everyone looked at each other and decided to drop the subject. The air started to get tense and it seemed a touchy subject. They knew that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru didn't have the same mothers-Sesshomaru's had passed away and now their father, Inu-Taisho had married a woman named Izayoi who was Inuyasha's mother.
Sesshomaru had to respect her no matter how much he disliked it. They lived in the same mansion but it didn't mean he had to always converse or see her. Perhaps going to America had been a vacation of sorts for him…..
"So what do you all want to go do now?" Sango asked not noticing Miroku hiding in the shadows to (cough) attack her again. It was a Friday so they could still do a lot of things. Besides since they were seniors their parents hadn't given them a curfew time.
Their Parents just said: 'Make sure you come home safe and alive-in one piece. If you end up in any sort of trouble-drugs, alcohol, stealing or even Jail we will NOT come bail you out. If we find out you bribed someone with money to get you out because we are rich you will not return home for a certain amount of time and no one will help you. You stay in Jail and reflect/think about what you did and how wrong you were.'
Yes, they all had lovely and kind parents who cared indeed…
'…'
"I say we go and give Kagome a visit! She must be lonely and her house isn't far from here." Ayame said. Everyone agreed to that and started walking towards her house. Maybe they'd hang out at her place for a few hours before going home and then they could all do something on Saturday….
…..That is if Kagome wasn't preoccupied (lost in thought, elsewhere) with that brain of hers. More than likely she'd be at the doorstep waiting for Sesshomaru to deliver the mail tomorrow and she'd tell everyone else she'd see them on Monday at school.
Shame that the mail didn't come on Sunday's though…..
They all arrived at her front door and Sango gave it knock and Kagome herself opened it. "Ahh….hi guys?" Kagome said looking really surprised and then looked down at herself-discreetly- in a panic hoping none of her (cough) 'love marks' were showing through the dress she'd picked to wear. She sighed and took a deep breath.
Suddenly a hand was on her forehead-it was Inuyasha's. "Hmm….you're not sick." He said. Kagome shook her head and told everyone to come in. Sota walked in from the kitchen and said hello. He went back to his room then to make plans for his 'date' tomorrow.
"So Kagome. What were you doing while we were out?" Rin asked as everyone sat down.
'Dreaming about 'getting it on' with a sexy mail-man' Kagome mentally said.
"Uh ha-ha. Not much! Just the regular cleaning and organizing my room." Kagome said.
"I see…." Sango said and then Inuyasha cut her off, an apologetic look after he started talking like this was a life or death situation (and Sango needed to wait)
"Hey Kagome. You know this is off-topic but you have a new mail-man. Pay him no mind. He's a jerk with no social skills. Just get your mail and shut the door in his face. He might even be dangerous to you." Inuyasha said.
"You know him?" Kagome asked looking up in interest. Sango gave the others a 'side look' as everyone looked at each other-all wondering how come Kagome DIDN'T know him?
Uh-oh….
Lady Nefertiti: Thanks to everyone for your enthusiastic reviews lol… Please read and review! thanks.
