"Carpet? How'd you get that scored for your room Sesshomaru?" None of the other dorms had the soft plush on the ground. "All I have is brown mahogany that I've spilt all kinds of stuff on.." Kagome laughs nervously.

"I shall have Friar John install you some tomorrow evening."

"No, I don't need that, don't worry-"

"Would you prefer new art tools?"

"No, you don't have to do that!"

"A state of the art studio just outside of France?"

"What!? No!"

"Chocolates?"

"No."

"Ramen noodles? I have observed that imbecile mention your mutual appreciation of the boxed meals.."

"Who? Inuyasha? He's my friend, don't call him that!" At the defense of Inuyasha, Sesshomaru becomes ticked off. Why does she speak of him so?

"And what of importance is it how I regard him? Do you prefer his company? Has my little Miko performed similar actions with him?"

"What?! What are you saying?" Kagome is offended. What does he think I am? Some kind of-

"All this Sesshomaru would enjoy the privilege of knowing is why you scamper, Ka-go-me." And whom else of the school's population have you pressed those lips against…

"I don't scamper."

"Then explain the look in your orbs that reflect so."

Kagome sighs, crossing her arms. "What did that kiss mean?"

"Lust that-" He begins but she hushes him, proclaiming to have heard that reply earlier.

"For us, as individuals Sesshomaru. If you haven't gotten it yet, we're in a Catholic private school. And our friends are nothing alike. And we have no classes together. They rarely pence in free time for us. We're too different!" She hopes this can convince them both, that pursing such a relationship would be nothing but a waste of time.

"This Sesshomaru wants nothing else, only you." Sesshomaru steps closer, tucking a strand behind her ear, forcing her to focus on him only. She saw it in his eyes, a desperate hope for her approval.

Please, be mine Kagome.

"I.." Don't screw this up Kagome. This is what you've wanted since you saw him that stupid day.

And she smiles.

Maybe Higurashi isn't a fighter. Just this once.

Taking the hint, Sesshomaru wastes no time before lifting his beauty up and enveloping her into another kiss. She breaks it this time, and they stand close, happy. This wasn't the way she'd planned it to go but-

"Ahem."
They instantly separate, when the throat of the third party is cleared. Old Friar Rolph stands on the other side of the opened door, Friar John tapping his foot impatiently.

"I told you! What did I tell you! He's up to no good, these children are always up to no good! Even lied to me about having a person in there with him! See? See! Oh you're in a lot of trouble now!" The elder raises a hand and the other friar ceases his rambling.

"Miss Higurashi? What might you be doing in here? It seems Inuyasha's reports are true, there is a female in your abode Taisho." The elder smiles. Awaiting an answer, he doesn't notice the twin expressions the two children bare. Stupid Inuyasha.

[Far away, at another's side, the other silver haired boy gets shivers.

"What the hell did I do this time?!"

"Inuyasha?"

"Sorry Kikyo, don't worry about it."]

"Oh! Friar Rolph! So nice to see you again! I just stopped by Sessho-Mister Taisho's room to retrieve something!" Kagome chirps up, fearing their silence wouldn't help. Oh god, what am I doing? He's going to see right through this!

"And what may that be dearie?" The elder was a nice man. He'd been one of the school's representatives for years now. He trusted the children and currently held the position as the most sensible out of most of the leaders there. As far as he knew, these kids were all little angels.

"This."
All heads turn to Sesshomaru, who holds a small pointy shape in his hand.

"I believe this is the Arrowhead to complete your piece, Miss Higurashi?"

Kagome knows she sees a smirk on his face before he hands her the small thing.

"Y-yes! Thank you so much! I've turned over stones looking for this!" She smiles solemnly at him, twirling the arrowhead in between her fingers. If by stones she meant his room, then yes, she has.

"Pardon my manners, nevertheless, I have assignments to begin. If you would please?" Sesshomaru smiles and as usual, Friar Rolph stands no chance.

"Ahhh, yes yes, let's not bother the child. Let's go Friar John. You too Miss Higurashi, we can escort you to Mister Taisho. He seems very excited to speak to you." The elder chuckles and walks out of the room, a still doubtful Friar John following.

As Kagome shuffles out, and the Friars are already making their way down the hall, Sesshomaru slips a small scrap into her hand. She holds it tightly. Their hands stay in contact for moments longer. She doesn't want to let go. Neither does he. What's to say it wouldn't disappear from them if they let go?

Two steps and she's out of the room, and she's walking with the Friars down the stairs. Anxious, she stops and unfolds the note.

See you tomorrow, Dearest Miko?

Kagome Higurashi grins and grips the paper once more. A brief glance backwards and she skips down the steps, looking forward to tomorrow. Goodness, who knew the day would end like this? And in a room, somewhere, a silver-haired boy grins as well, thinking of her. They both knew the answer, why did he even bother putting it as a question?

Of course.
