Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
a/n---well...I uh.....I could give you the real reason for not updating in two years, or I could keep you all from thinking I'm nuts and say that I've been 100% focused on my novel....I think I'll go with the novel. No sympathy for me, please. I'm kinda surprised none of you killed me in my sleep....would've been kinder than whats happened in my silent time.........
Very Late Part Nine
Awkward wasn't the right word for how this is playing out. Well, it is. Sesshomaru does have me caught in some sort of gentle death-grip and we are both half-naked, but this is kinda...welll....innocent. He hasn't done a damn thing to me, other than refuse to let me out of bed at all, all night. And I tried, beleive me, I tried, but now, 10am, still in bed...Its getting just a little old. I love snuggling as much as the next person, but geez.
"Stop wriggling, Rin." Sesshomaru murmurs against my neck sleepily, nuzzling.
"You know, if you'd just let me go - "
"You'd fall asleep on the bathroom floor." he shifts a little lower. "I know you didn't sleep at all."
He's right, I didn't, but I feel wide awake. I wasn't stupid enough to keep my eyes open all night, so I'm raring to go. Anyhow, how was I supposed to sleep with this...this....this...man cuddling me from behind after reading him a smutty novel, among other things....
"I'm fine." I growl determinedly.
"No, you're tired." he pushes himself up to look down at me, his goreous face looking convincingly concerned. I frown back, irritated. He leans down and touches his nose to mine. "Go to sleep."
"No!"
I feel childish, almost like I'm trying to hide from something, but no way in hell am I giving it up now. He's putting me through hell and he's just so calm about it! Its infuriating! And I know he knows it. He picks up the phone, pressing some number or another and waiting for a moment before saying, "Yes, send up breakfast to room 666." He pauses, listening. "Yes, that's the honeymoon suite." He pauses again. "No, just the breakfast, please. For two."
And then hangs up. No, I am not starring, shocked at him, what are you talking about? Its not like I didn't know we were in a goddamn honeymoon suite...I just didn't remember until he said it...
He notices my look and blankly says, "Its all they had left."
"Oh." I roll so I don't have to look at him and close my eyes. "God, I really do need to sleep."
Sesshomaru only grunts, flopping back down beside me with a sigh and then enveloping me in his arms again. I don't try to fend him off, either. Christ, is this ever getting off to a bad start. I try to relax, I really do, this is a vacation, afterall, but I don't manage to. Somehow, I think that's normal. Just being around this guy makes me nervous. I only put on a strong front.
And then he starts humming.
Yea, that is really weird. I mean, this is Sesshomaru Tashio, the great Taiyoukai. Taiyoukai's don't hum. They don't comfortingly stroke paranoid teen's hair to try to calm them down. Wow, wait, he's....oh wow, he is stroking my hair. Kind of like how mom used to...
I snuggle closer with a sigh, and the world stops existing, in a good way.
