Hikaru-San: You're Still My No. 1! You're All I'm Thinking Off!

What's the relevance? You'll see…


Andy spaced in and out.

Damn it! Get the dirty thoughts out of my mind! Where's my dream catcher!?

"Hey Andy… you look distracted…" Sango said, passing by Andy's cubical. Andy spun around in her chair, totally caught by surprise.

"Ha Ha! Distracted!? What makes you think that I'm distracted!?" Andy said, with a nervous laugh.

Sango smirked.

"Your computer…"

Andy glanced over at her Mac. The small black line was flashing, but no words were on the document.

"Damn that dog! Distracting me!!!" Andy cried out, unaware that Sango was listening.

"Dog?" Sango said.

"You wouldn't happen to be talking about Sesshomaru, are you?" Ayame said, suddenly popping in.

"Um…" Andy turned a bright red.

"I knew it!" Ayame chanted cheerfully.

"Yes… yes… congrats…" Andy said sarcastically, as she turned back to her computer and started writing.

"Hold on… work can wait…" Sango said, as she took a seat.

"So… how are things with you two?"

"Oh yes… I'm dying to know. You seemed pretty happy when we left the paintball field…" Ayame added.

"Well… Nothing happened!" Andy said almost immediately.

"Liar!" Ayame said. "What did Rin tell you?"

"Just wanted to know if I was available on Friday…"

"For what?" Sango and Ayame chimed in.


"Dinner on Friday?"

"Yup! I just wanna know what we're having dad…" Rin said, as she continued to entertain herself on Sesshomaru's spiny chair.

"It's really up to you, as she is your guest…" Sesshomaru said, looking up from his files.

"Come on dad… you know you like her…" Rin said, as she stopped in her spinning.

Please tell me she doesn't know about the wet dreams I've been having lately… Sesshomaru turned a light red at the thought. What was the hanyo doing to him?


"Aw… look how red Andy's turning!" Ayame cooed.

"Sh…shut up…" Andy said, only turning redder.

"I love how we're acting our age…" Sango said.

"Come on… I'm 25, your 28, and Andy's 26… we're still young…" Ayame said.

"Please… I act more mature than you…" Andy said, looking up from her Tokyo Now story at her friend.

"Shessh… Sorry if I have a sense of humor…" Ayame said, flipping a red pigtail behind her.

"Where's the humor…?" Andy asked.

"Oh ha ha ha… very funny…"


"What's so funny? I'm just saying that Miss Andy's a nice person. Is there something wrong with that?"

"You have been hanging with your Aunt way too much."

"At least she agrees with me!"

"Rin, don't you have any homework?"


"I'm trying to get it done. Now will you two please leave me alone!?"

"Fine, miss big shot… we're going…" Ayame said, as she and Sango went off to do their jobs. Andy took one more look at her screen.


Sesshomaru

Takahashi Sesshomaru

Mrs. Takahashi Sess….


"ACK!"

Andy immediately deleted the file.

"Are you trying to tell me something!?" Andy said to the photo on her desk. It was one of her when she was five years old and an elderly Indian woman, who was wrapped in a Pennington blanket. She held the little girl in her arms as if she was the greatest treasure around.

"Nana… are you suggesting something?" Andy continued to stare into the photo.

She closed her eyes. She imagined a pair of strong warm arm embracing her. She smelt a mixture of pine forest and a fresh spring breeze. She imagined that those arms belong to a certain inu youkai…

"OH! Reality check!" Andy slapped herself on the forehead.

"Ow that hurt…"


"Ok. Rin… We're leaving…"

"About time!" Rin jumped out of her seat in the corner, waited for her father to finish turning off the computer and they headed out the door.

"Bye Kaede!" Rin called out to the secretary.

"See you next Wednesday! And Mr. Takahashi! Don't forget to get back to Kaguya about her divorce case!" Kaede said.

Sesshomaru and Rin got into the awaiting Lexus and drove off.

Sesshomaru's mind drifted from place to place for the rest of the evening. Rin kept herself busy by tormenting Jaken.

"Will you stop copying me!?" Jaken shouted.

"Will you stop copying me!?" Rin mimicked.

"Argh!"

"Argh! (giggle)"

The wolf hanyo's scent was still there from that day at the restaurant. It was a mix of lilacs… and something he couldn't identify. But it was like a plant…


"I'm home… oh that's right… I'm single…" Andy said, as she closed the apartment door behind her.

She dropped onto the bed.

"Man… what a day…"

She saw out of the corner of her eye that she had a new message.

You have 1 new message…

"A full 12 hours passed and I only have one message… man I need to get a life…"

Andy…? This is Sesshomaru

Andy perked up from lying on her bed, to sitting up on full alert.

Apparently… Rin decided to drop out on the little gathering on Friday…so… it's pretty much just you and me and it's your call on what you want to do that evening… so call me back at this number…

Andy scrambled across her bed to her desk to get a pen and a piece of paper and scribbled the number down.

See you Friday I guess…

Beep!

"That was interesting…" Andy said, finally passing out on her bed.
