Chapter six: The Rumor

When Kagome woke up she didn't realize were she was. But when she felt the arm around her waist she figured it out. Kagome turned onto her back. Her movements woke up Sesshoumaru.

"I guess I fell asleep." Kagome said.

Sesshoumaru just kissed her forehead. Kagome looked over at the window. It was still dark, kind of light. Kagome guessed it was about five o'clock. Kagome sat up while saying, "I guess I should go back to my room."

Sesshoumaru pulled her back down.

"Sesshoumaru."

"Shh."

"Fine."

Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around Kagome. She snuggled up to him. She didn't fall back asleep, but she was contempt with their positions. When it was lighter out side Sesshoumaru finally let Kagome go. Kagome gave him a very long kiss, then headed back to her room.

At eight o'clock, on the dot like always, Saya came into Kagome's room. Saya was smiling brightly.

"What are you so happy about?" Kagome asked.

"I'm happy for you."

"Why?"

"Because of you and Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Well you already know about that."

"No. About last night." Saya said in a 'like duh' tone.

Kagome gave Saya a look that said what the hell are you talking about.

Saya rolled her eyes. "There is word around the castle that someone saw you come out of Sesshoumaru-sama's room this morning still wearing yesterdays clothes."

Kagome was struck silent.

"Miss Kagome."

"So let me get this straight. The whole entire castle thinks I slept with Sesshoumaru."

"Yes Miss Kagome. Why did you not want people to know?"

"Well seeing how it's not true no. I only feel asleep."

"Oh Miss Kagome I'm sorry."

"I have to go tell Sesshoumaru."

Kagome had already gotten ready for the day before Saya came in, so she didn't have to wait around and get ready. Kagome put down her text book and stood up. She left the room and went over to Sesshoumaru's door and knocked.

Seconds later Sesshoumaru answered the door shirtless. Kagome scanned his nice, firm chest. Sesshoumaru smirked when Kagome started stuttering. After a couple minutes of stuttering Kagome took a deep breath and concentrated on saying something that would make senses.

"Can I come in?" She asked.

Sesshoumaru stepped aside for her. "You sound worried."

Kagome sat on the bed. "Well um… I don't know how to say this."

Sesshoumaru sat down next to her and grabbed her hand.

"Okay here it goes. I don't know if this is a problem for you but I just thought you might want to know that there is a rumor going around the castle that we slept together last night, because someone saw me leave your room this morning in my clothes from yesterday." Kagome finally took a breath of air.

Sesshoumaru hugged her and whispered in her ear,"We can turn that rumor into the truth."

"Sesshoumaru." Kagome blushed.

"Just a simple suggestion. So what are you worried about?"

"Did you not just hear me?"

"I did."

"And?"

"And what?"

Kagome got up and threw her hands in the air. "I swear men." Kagome started pacing the room.

Sesshoumaru watched her for awhile, then he grabbed her hand and pulled her back down onto the bed. He looked her in the eyes. "Don't worry about the rumor. It's just a rumor started by someone who has nothing better to do. But the offer still stands to it into the truth."

In a flirty way Kagome said, "Shut up." And blushed.

Sesshoumaru got dressed and he and Kagome headed on down to the dinning room. During breakfast Kagome and Sesshoumaru got those 'I'm so happy for you' looks from Toga and Inukimi. Kagome could have sworn that breakfast dragged on longer than necessary. When it was over Kagome walked a little bit fast to leave the dinning room.

"Oh Kagome dear." Inukimi said.

'Damn so close.' Kagome spun around and faced her. "Yes."

"My I have a word with you." It wasn't a question.

"Okay."

Kagome followed Inukimi to the tea room. They sat down across from each other.

Inukimi went straight to the point by saying, "Your relationship with my son is progressing very fast."

"I guess it is, but I also have to talk to you about that."

Inukimi put up her hand to stop her. "I started the rumor."

Kagome was struck silent for the second time that day and it wasn't even noon yet.

"I did see you come out of my son's room and I know nothing happened."

"Then why?"

"I have my reasons, but we're not here to discuses that?"

"What are we her to discuses?"

"You and my son."

"Oh." Kagome said in an 'uh-oh she hates me' tone.

"Now dear don't be like that. I like you and the influence you have on my son."

'Yea.' Kagome's inner mind said.

Inukimi talked to Kagome about how Sesshoumaru use to be and how he is now because of her. Kagome barely got a word in edge wise. When Inukimi was contempt with what she brought Kagome here to talk about she dismissed Kagome.

Kagome quickly made her way to the tower. She sat down on the floor and stared out the window. "I didn't know talking could take so much out of me." Kagome said to herself.

"That happens when you talk to my parents." Sesshoumaru walked into the tower and sat down next to Kagome. "My father tracked me down."

"What did you talk about?"

"He said I better treat you right, I caught a good one, and he was proud of me for nailing you."

"Male pride." Kagome whispered.

"And he wants grandkids soon."

"You're talk was better than mine."

"What did you talk about?"

"Your mom started the rumor and she knows nothing happened."

"Do you want me to go talk to her?"

"No. It's alright."

"You're getting use to the idea aren't you? It won't be long now."

"Men." Kagome whispered.

"You know with all the commotion around here maybe I should take you with me tomorrow."

"Really?" Kagome hugged him knocking him over. She kissed him over and over again on his forehead before giving him one big, long kiss on the mouth.

"That's one way to say thank you. You know there's another way to thank me."

"You are such a pervert."

"Yes, but only to you."

The rest of the day Sesshoumaru and Kagome avoided as many people as possible. The next day Saya woke Kagome up extra early. When she left her room she found Sesshoumaru waiting for her in the hallway.

"Why did I get up this early?" She asked.

"Because you had too."

"I hate you."

Sesshoumaru kissed her on the forehead and steered her out of the castle.
