I don't own Inuyasha, blah blah blah

I sped down the road, doing 75 & not giving a damn. I felt good! I figured Sesshomaru's lips were as soft as they looked but damn, what a kiss! I felt butterflies of anticipation bouncing off my stomach walls as I thought of the next time I'd kiss him.

'Oh & there will be a next time, whether I have to steal it ask for it'

Now that I got my daydreaming out of the way, I had to figure out where I was going cause I had absolutely no clue. I wasn't sure of where I was so I executed a quick U-Turn & headed back towards the city. I was too restless to think about what to do though. I felt like running! As the humans say, I was on cloud nine.

I strolled into my sister's hair & make up salon & flopped into a chair. One of the employees, Kanna, came from the back where they did eyebrows & gave me a small bow.

"Hello, Naraku. What service are you looking to have done?"

I waved at her dismissively. "I've told you about that bowing. You've known me for so long you can just greet me with a 'hey' or something"

"As you wish" she replied emotionlessly.

'Sheesh what a stiff'

"Tell Kagura I'd like my hair trimmed a few inches. My ends are starting to split"

Kanna nodded & retreated behind the curtain to retrive my sis. Kagura walked out eventually & grabbed a pair of scissors on her way over to me.

"Hey, little sis how's business?"

She glared at me. "As if you care. Why did you really come here? You know you don't care much for me nor your damn ends"

I felt her pick up a handful of my hair & begin snipping. "True enough but I couldn't help but run over to tell about this guy-"

"Hey, whoa now, I don't need to know how loud he made you moan or some shit. There are some things you really don't have to tell me"

"Shut up, I wasn't even going to tell you that! & you say I'm perverted? Shit"

"Yeah, yeah. So what about this guy?"

"I met him last week while I was at that little cafe down the street from the university. You know the one by the strip clu-"

"Yes! I know about it! Get on with the damn story"

"Stop interrupting me! You know that makes me lose my fucking train of thought!"

Kagura sighed & I could almost see her rolling her eyes, shifting her weight to her other leg. "Oh my God..."

"Right. So anyway I saw him walking down the street & I followed him to a jewelry store-"

"Fucking stalker..."

"Shut the hell up! Anyway I got him this ring he was eyeballing & he was all happy. Man, Rah, you gatta see this guy. He is almost as gorgeous as Iam"

"First of all don't call me by that damn nickname. Once I turned 15 I dropped that. Second of all you're not even gorgeous so you just made him sound really ugly"

"Hey, fuck you, alright?"

"You're about as gorgeous as Elton John on crack...just a more evil looking version"

"You do realize we're faternal twins, right?"

"I never got cocky about my looks but yeah I do realize that. We may look alike but I look better than you"

She gave the back of my head a little flick to let me know she was done & I stood, turning to glare at her slightly. "If you look better than me then why are you still single eh?"

Kagura started sweeping up the bits of hair off the floor. "It's because I choose to be"

"No it's because you're a damn bitch & no one wants you"

"I told you about calling me a bitch. Getting compliments from you makes me feel like taking a shower now get out of my shop"

I sat at home with my phone in my hand. It was getting easier calling Sesshomaru since I know he doesn't mind. But tonight was different; tonight I was going to ask him out on a date & for some reason I was afraid of rejection. Yeah I know what you're thinking: how can a guy as attractive as I am get rejected? I honestly don't know but it could definitely happen. I took a deep breath & sighed, dialing his number & half hoping he wouldn't pick up.

"Hello?"

'Ok...here goes...'

Hey! Sessh, babe what are you doing this weekend?"

He chuckled. "Hi, I'm fine thanks for asking"

"Oh, sorry-"

"No, no, it's fine. I'm not doing anything this weekend. What's up?"

"Ohh, umm...nothing, nothing...I just, uh...I wanted to..."

'Ugh you fucking moron! Spit it all, damn it!'

"Naraku is everything o-"

"Will you go out with me this weekend?" I practically shouted & cringed, waiting for his answer. His snickering wasn't helping the situation.

"Is that what's got you so tongue tied? Asking me out?"

"Er, well yeah...I just...no one likes to be rejected & I was just hoping..."

"I told you when I first met you I would, silly"

I blinked. He sure did. "Yeah well...I didn't know if you'd changed your mind or something. My sister thinks I look evil so I didn't know if I made you uncomfortable...an evil version of Elton John, to be exact...on crack...that's what she sai-"

Sesshomaru burst out laughing, his mouth away from the phone, I could tell. I thanked God it wasn't one of those annoying, hysterical laughs that make you want to through a chair at the person. It was one of those laughs that made you smile because it sounded pleasant.

After about a minute he calmed down & took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, that was wrong to laugh at"

"No, not at all. I don't mind"

He chuckled a few more times. "That was hilarious. I'll have to use that on my brother"

"You have a brother, eh? Is he single?"

"No, he's married"

"Aw, looks like my sister will have to stay single a little longer then"

I could see him smiling. "So what day are you planning on taking me out?"

"Saturday at seven?"

"Sounds good. Wear something formal?"

"I prefer nothing at all but if you must be clothed then dress casually"

Sesshomaru chuckled again. "Bye, Naraku. Have fun masterbating to that image"

"I wil-wait, what?"

Click.

I paced the length of my room, a ball of nerves. My hair would poof out too much...then it'd be too flat. My clothes didn't look right. The muscles in my face wouldn't relax so I kind of looked like I was surprised. Nothing seemed to match.

'ARGH! What the hell am I going to wear?'

I flopped on my bed & ran my fingers through my hair in aggravation. He said dress casually...what did I have that would look good on a casual date. I had tons of jeans but the only kind of shoes I had were flip flops [too casual], dress shoes [too formal], boots [inappropiate] & sneakers...hmm, would sneakers be considered too casual?

I paired up one of my favorite white button down shirts with some jeans & my white Vans, looked in the mirror...& smiled a little. Close to perfect! Now if only I could find something to do with my hair...

"Seeeeeesh, it's six fifty, get a move-on!"

"Rin! Come in here, I don't know what to do with my hair!"

She sighed & knocked lightly. "Are you decent?"

"Of couse I'm decent, not that you haven't seen me naked anyway"

"Look, I only went into your room to borrow your shaver. How was I supposed to know you were jacking off?"

"You could've knocked..."

"I thought you were sleeping!"

I growled. "Look! I got ten minutes to do something to my hair so I don't have much time for this!"

"Stop yelling at me! I'm trying to figure out how to not make you look even more girly than you already do"

"What? These clothes are perfectly masculine!"

"Your face, genius, now sit"

I sighed & sat on my bed while Rin climbed behind me, grabbing my brush. I noticed the ring Naraku had given me & slipped it on, smiling slightly, remembering the day we met.

"God, all this hair...you have any idea how you want it?"

"Not at all"

"Alright..."

~*~*~ 9 minutes later ~*~*~

"Rin, he's going to be here any minute!"

"Ok, ok, I'm done"

Ding dong!

I stood quickly & grabbed my keys, wallet & phone, rushing towards the front door.

"It'd better look good" I grumbled to her

"You look fine. Have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't do"

"Rin..." I said slowly, turning to look at her, "The only thing you wouldn't do is work"

She winked. "You damn skippy"

I rolled my eyes & opened the door to reveal Naraku, dressed in a dark red button down shirt that really complimented his eyes & made them look seductive, black pants & black shoes. Immediately his eyes roamed my body & he smiled appreciatively.

"Well, good evening" he said, smiling.

I only smiled in response. I knew I'd feel goofy as hell saying good evening. Turning to Rin, I waved.

"Have fun"

"I will" she answered with a smile that screamed she was going to do something I probably don't want to know about.

...

I sat in the restaurant, fidgetting. I didn't know how my hair looked so it made me feel self-conscious & now I was starting to regret the choice of clothing I picked. I should've worn slacks, I should've dressed a little more formally, I should've done this, I should've done that-

"Are you okay? You seem restless"

I looked up into Naraku's eyes & my thigh trembled. Kind of funny how an innocent look can turn one on...

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. J-just fine...you?"

He lifted an eyebrow but smiled. "I'm awesome though I'd like you to talk a little more"

"O-okay. What do you want me to talk about?"

"Yourself"

I made "uh", "um" & "er" noises while he sipped his wine, waiting. "Well, I'm 24, I graduated from high school when I was 17 & started college that same year. I'm in my final year of college though I'm considering getting a Ph.D"

"In...?"

"French. I'd like to be a French linguist [AN: translator]"

"Really now? Say something in French for me"

'Damn I hate when people ask me this...'

"Umm...je m'appelle Sesshoma-"

"No, no, say something I'd have to guess"

"Umm...je ne sais pas qui parler?" [I don't know what to say]

He chuckled. "I could guess that but I'll let it slide..."

Unconsciously I tuned him out & started fidgeting again. I was anxious to get out of there as I felt eyes on my back & even though I wanted to check my hair I was also afraid it would look a "hot mess", as Rin would say.

"...Sesshomaru? Hey, Earth to earthling?"

I jerked my head up & gave Naraku an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I'm just..."

"Bored? We can go somewhere else, ya know?"

"No, no, it's fine"

"Babe, you look fine, stop being so restless. You're going to have a melt down" he said smiling.

& then I saw it: a stain on my shirt.

'AH! Ohmigod, oh shit, I don't want him to think I'm too broke to wash my clothes! Oh damn I gatta get to the bathroom & wash this off!'

"-Guess you should lay off the caffine, eh?"

I forced a smile & quickly dabbed my lips. "Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom"

As I threw my napkin down on the table, it knocked my glass of wine over, which spilled all over the white table cloth, fell onto a plate, which caused the glass to break & Naraku jumped up so quickly to avoid the seeping red liquid that he startled a passing waiter & made him drop the food he was carrying to a table across the room.

'Oh...shit...'
