"You've never left me, even if I never knew; you were always there to protect me…to love me,"

Chapter 8

"So, now what do we do?" Kagome asked as she sat down with Sesshomaru at their dinner table. She had been able to catch up on some sleep and was feeling much better.

"I'm still not sure," Sesshomaru answered.

"Did you send the report to the station?" Kagome questioned. Sesshomaru nodded.

"I sent it this afternoon," he replied. A waiter came up and asked handed the two of them their menus. They stopped talking as they two skimmed through the menu. Once they had made their orders they handed their menus back to the waiter. Sesshomaru's hand brushed against the back of Kagome's ever so slightly. (A/N contribute from iheartanime43) They both blushed and quickly looked away from each other. The waiter smirked in amusement at the couple before bowing and walking away. Kagome cleared her throat.

"Well…" she started to say. Sesshomaru looked back at her and took a deep calming breath.

"I guess right now, all we can do is keep a close eye on Naraku," Sesshomaru concluded, his piercing golden gaze locking with Kagome's eyes. Kagome blushed again and looked away.

"I guess," she muttered in response. Sesshomaru smiled slightly but caught himself. What am I doing? This is my younger brother's girlfriend! He scolded himself. He quickly regained his composure.

"We'll start trailing him tomorrow, we'll need someone to keep an eye on him every waking hour of the day," Sesshomaru told her briskly. Kagome looked back at him.

"Yes, I understand, but who are we going to get on the job so quickly?" she asked.

"I'll arrange that. I have my ways…" Sesshomaru responded mysteriously. Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me," she ordered. Sesshomaru chuckled.

"I have a friend named Koga who is in need of a job at the moment," Sesshomaru began to say. Kagome gasped.

"If he's your friend, you really shouldn't be doing this!" she scolded him. "That's no way to treat your friends, Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru blinked at her.

"What are you, my mother?" Sesshomaru demanded; taking in Kagome's little speech. Kagome looked down.

"Sorry, that just sort of came out," she apologized. "Anyway are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Don't worry I'm sure. Koga's helped me with a lot of things; this shouldn't be too big of a deal. Besides, we need more evidence that this whole situation with Inuyasha was all caused by Naraku," Sesshomaru explained to her.

"Ok," Kagome eventually agreed glumly. "When are you going to have this arranged?"

"By the end of this week tops, probably the day after tomorrow though," Sesshomaru responded.

"So then who's going to keep an eye on Naraku tomorrow?" Kagome inquired. Sesshomaru looked at her as if she were some sort of idiot.

"We are of course," he replied. Kagome stared at him.

"Us?" she demanded.

"Who else?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome sighed.

"Nevermind," she said. Sesshomaru shrugged and watched as their food arrived. They began their meal in a comfortable silence before Kagome asked another question.

"So where are we going to meet Naraku? What time?" she asked. Sesshomaru placed down his fork in exasperation.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, just meet me here by 8:00 sharp tomorrow morning," he told her. Kagome nodded and resumed her eating.

That night Kagome lay in bed thinking. She had so much to think about. I love Inuyasha don't I? So why did I keep blushing at dinner tonight with Sesshomaru? She wondered. She shook her head, as if trying to clear those memories out of her mind. But it didn't help. Her thoughts returned to them once again, but not for long. She fell asleep with the memory of two beautiful golden eyes staring down at her. What she didn't realize was that those eyes were not those of Inuyasha's, they were those of Sesshomaru's. And with that she drifted off to sleep to be ready for the next morning.
