Chapter 11
Kagome huffed as he droved past her. Really, he could at least offer her a ride home, not that she'd accept. Would she? Kagome couldn't be too sure. Everything involving Sesshomaru made her do things she would normally ever do. Anything sexual is usually off limits. Anything that was illegal was not to be touched, and anything that involved public humiliation. He was able to effectively cover all of those things in less than 2 weeks. Who was this guy?
Kagome sighed and began walking faster. It was dark out now and even though this was what was considered a ' safe neighbourhood' she still didn't like being out in the dark by herself. Kagome was caught off guard when she saw a very familiar silver sports car pulled onto the side of the road. Not paying it much attention she continued walking.
Kagome glanced to her side and narrowed her eyes. The car was driving beside her. Looking closer she could make out Sesshomaru in the drivers seat looking irritated. Well he better not be irritated at her. She had done nothing wrong.
" Woman, get into the car." Sesshomaru voice barked out the open passenger side window. Kagome startled by the unexpected sound jumped slightly. Turning her head she narrowed her eyes at Sesshomaru. What was Sesshomaru trying to do? First he is rude and arrogant, now he is offering her ride. Kagome huffed and walked over to car. It was dark, scary, and a far walk. Who was she to turn down a ride?
Walking to the door Kagome opened it and slid gracefully into the warm car. Closing the door she put on her seatbelt and turned her body slightly to look at Sesshomaru.
"Thank you Sesshomaru." Kagome said quietly. Turning her body back to face the front she turned her head to look out the window as they started driving.
" Kagome, you need to tell me where you live so I can drop you off." Sesshomaru managed to say in a cold voice. Shocking Kagome out of her daze like state she so quickly fell into.
Kagome's mind stalled. ' He just said my name.'
" Woman!" He barked out. He couldn't very well stay stopped in the middle of the road forever.
" Oh, uh, sorry. I live up at the shrine." She said quickly. Why was it that when he was around she so quickly lost her bearings?
Stepping on the gas pedal Sesshomaru took off down the road. Not saying a word he pulled up to the shrine and waited for her to get out.
" Thanks again Sesshomaru." Kagome quickly got out of the car and closed the door. Turning she ran up the shrine steps and into her house. Closing the door she quickly took off her shoes then raced to her room. She just wanted to go to bed. Sesshomaru made her think too much. What was it about him that always had her so nervous? What made him so different that all she wanted to do was ask questions and get to know him? Why? Kagome closed her eyes as she laid down. The last thought to go through her mind was that maybe, just maybe, she was falling for the jerk.
Sesshomaru sighed mentally as he pulled his car into the garage. Why did he pull over to give her a ride? No woman has ever had the honor of being in his most prized sports car. That car was for him, and him alone. What made her so special that on the ride home all he could think about was her voice? Her eyes, her smile, her personality?
Sesshomaru walked to his room and sat at his desk and opened his laptop. It was still too early for him to fall asleep. It was maybe 8 pm. He wouldn't be sleeping for a few more hours at least. What was he suppose to do? Not knowing what got a hold of him he decided to search for Kagome on Facebook.
Finding Kagome on Facebook he added her to his friends and quickly put her e-mail into his msn. Why? Even he couldn't answer that question correctly. He quickly decided it was for school purposes only; he needed to be able to reach her by other means then the phone. After doing this Sesshomaru decided to lay on his bed and start reading a new book. That was all there was left to it. This was no different than any of his other nights. Sesshomaru like to spend his nights alone. To be alone in his thoughts, away from wanton females and people trying to be his friends to weep the benefits. No. No one had that honour. No one deserved it. All they wanted from his was to be on the receiving end of his wealth, or to use him to get other people to notice them. He would no longer give anyone that opportunity. They didn't deserve it.
Completely settled into his bed and already sinking into his book Sesshomaru became unaware of the outside world. Nothing else mattered now except for the plot, the main characters and anything involving them. A thought filtered through Sesshomaru's mind as he progressed further into his book. A single thought, that the book seemed to be very parallel to what was happening between himself and Kagome.
Hours later Sesshomaru finished the book. He was restless. What do you do when you are restless, when you are not use to the feeling? Sesshomaru didn't know. He knew though that it had something to do with Kagome. The woman would not get off his mind and it was starting to frustrate him. Hearing a beep from his computer he went over to see who signed onto msn. Noticing that it was Kagome he smirked. Of course she would accept his request to be added to her msn.
Clicking on her name, he was about to type hello to her when she beat him to it. Sesshomaru frowned. Who was she to say hi first? Sesshomaru quickly replied of course. He didn't want her to think that he was ignoring her. Wait. He didn't want her to think she was being ignored? Why should it matter to him? He didn't do things to please others, ever. This unsettled him, but he couldn't help himself. There was something about her. Something that made her different; something different about her. She didn't seem to want his money, or his friendship. This irked him. Everyone should want it, even though they wouldn't get it.
Kagome woke up at midnight. Kagome sighed. Of course she fell asleep around 8 pm. Now she would be up until at least 3 in the morning. Kagome mentally smacked herself. ' Idiot. Why do I always fall asleep so damn early?'
Deciding that there was no use fighting against how awake she felt she walked over to her desk and turned on her computer. Waiting for it to load she quickly ran downstairs and got herself a bottle of water and some chips. Walking back upstairs with her munchies in hand she went back to her computer and signed onto her msn. Her eyes widened as she realized that Sesshomaru was attempting to add her to msn. Should she add him? He was a jerk to her! Why should she add him, he would probably put her down the whole time. Then her mind thought back to the car ride home. Although he was a jerk, he did offer her a ride home. There was something inside of him that was nice. Making up her mind she accepted him on msn and seeing that he was online quickly said hello. Not expecting a reply she opened her internet browser and was shocked when he replied quickly. Typing back she smiled. Maybe he wasn't such a jerk after all. Maybe, just maybe he wanted to be her friend. Smiling to herself Kagome opened up Facebook and was shocked again when she saw that he requested to be her friend on that as well. Quickly accepting that, she went through all her notices and requests before turning back to the conversation she had started with Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru closed his computer it was roughly 4 am and he had to get up at 7 30 am. Why did he let Kagome talk to him until so late? Sesshomaru sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. There wasn't much he could do about it now. He stood from his desk and walked to his bed, falling onto it gracefully, having already changed sometime during his conversation with Kagome. He shifted the blankets so that they covered him to his chest, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Kagome smiled as she laid down in her bed after talking to Sesshomaru for nearly 4 hours. She couldn't help but think about him. How he was suddenly acting so different to her. Was she missing something? She wasn't sure. Sesshomaru was being so kind. Like the night she first got to be around him, only this time he wasn't impaired by marijuana or alcohol.
She liked this Sesshomaru. She was starting to like him a lot even though he has only been decent to her two times that she can remember but she couldn't help it. His kisses left her breathless and aroused. Although they were more or less accidents on his part she couldn't help but love the feel of them against her own. It was a feeling she hadn't felt before. Not that she had been kissed much before, but she knew what she liked, and she really liked him kissing her. She also liked him doing other things to her. While she may have been very stoned at his party, she remembered what he did to her. How he had brought her to heights of pleasure she had never experienced before in her life.
She closed her eyes as sleep started to take over her body, but she couldn't help but wonder if he would talk to her tomorrow, because she knew that she wanted him to, but she wasn't sure if he did, or if he even knew what he was doing to her so fast.
