Chapter 11
...
"So I'm also guessing you were guilt tripped into going to the fair," Kagome said to Sesshoumaru.
"Hn." He kept his eyes on the road as he drove. She gave him a once over and noticed his hair was up in a pony tail.
If Kagome thought she had it bad with her hair getting caught, it must have been worse for Sesshoumaru.
They had been driving for a little while now since they had picked Kagome up from her house. It was about evening with the sun going down. The weather would be much more cooler and bearable now.
"How far away are we?" Rin asked from the back seat.
"Look out the window," Sesshoumaru answered.
Kagome and Rin both looked out the window on his side and saw the unmistakable structure of the Ferris Wheel and other rides not too far away. With bright colorful lights and random screams and noises.
"Yay! The fair!" Rin shouted. "We should ride the Ferris Wheel first, then the tea cups, then the…" Rin continued to name off various rides as they turned into the fair's parking lot and found a spot. She was still naming rides when she got out of the car and they all three started walking to the ticket booth.
While Kagome nodded at what Rin was saying Sesshoumaru had already gotten three bracelets that would allow them to ride as many rides as much as they would like and handed one to Kagome.
"I'll pay you back," Kagome said while putting on her bracelet.
Sesshoumaru helped Rin with hers. "No need. You're our guest," he replied.
Kagome didn't especially want to argue with him about such a small matter so she sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Rin, repeat the rules I gave you," Sesshoumaru ordered.
"Do not talk to strangers or follow them. Always stay with you or Kagome, and no whining if I'm too small to ride one of the rides," she ticked them off her fingers.
"Very good," he nodded.
"Ferris Wheel first!" Rin took both their hands and led the way.
They waited in line, but not for long since it wasn't very crowded tonight. When they were in the ride's cart Rin immediately looked out the glass as the ride moved upward in it's circular movement.
"Look at the sunset! It's so beautiful!"
Kagome looked out the glass and saw the sun going down. The sky was painted with hues of yellow and pink and the last hint of blue that was the sky. It gave you a warm feeling to see it and Kagome smiled.
"You think we can see our houses from here Rin?" Kagome asked.
"Maybe if we look really carefully!" Rin replied and started scouting out the area.
"Oh! Is that it?" Kagome asked and pointed at a building in the distance.
"Hm I don't think so… what about that one over there?" Rin pointed.
"Well it's tall enough to be your house alright," Kagome responded with a smile.
When the ride was over Rin lead them to another, and then another, and many more. The girls had Sesshoumaru help them spin in the tea cup resulting in them almost getting sick from the force. Kagome had laughed so hard she thought she was going to pea herself when they stood in front of the Wacky Mirrors and saw what Sesshoumaru looked like fat and short.
They finnally took a break and walked for a little bit. Rin had both their hands in her own and had the same smile on her face all night long. Kagome slowed down a bit when she saw a stuffed white fluffy dog with gold eyes and its tongue hanging out to the side.
Kagome giggled and imagined that was what Sesshoumaru looked like when he transformed.
"Hey buddy! Wanna take a shot and try and win something for ya wife?" the guy behind the booth called to Sesshoumaru. "Or maybe for ya little girl?"
Kagome instantly blushed. "We're not ma-" Kagome started to say but stopped when Sesshoumaru nodded and asked for two games.
The man took his money and gave him six balls.
Most of these games are rigged, Kagome reminded herself. A waste of money.
There were six consecutive crashes as the bottles broke. The man behind the booth, people watching, and Kagome gaped. Rin only smiled more, she had never doubted him.
Kagome knew she shouldn't have either. He was a demon after all.
"That's a first," the man said. "Pick two from the top then."
"Which do you want Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Kagome already knew what the little girl would say because there next to the white dog was a pink flamingo that was maybe two inches smaller than Rin.
"The flamingo please!" Rin pointed and jumped.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "The flamingo and the white dog next to it."
"Here you go. Enjoy your night!" The man called.
Sesshoumaru handed Kagome the big stuffed dog.
Kagome took it and couldn't help but laugh. "Hey are you this cute when you transform?"
He frowned. "I am not cute," he stated as if the word left a bad taste in his mouth.
"Fine. Adorable. Is that better? " Kagome laughed harder at his glare.
...
Rin was passed out in the back seat cuddled with her stuffed flamingo and the adult female next to him mirrored the same actions except with the white dog in her arms.
Sesshoumaru had pulled into Kagome's driveway and turned off the car. He reached over and nudged her but she didn't move.
He unbuckled his seat belt quietly and leaned over to Kagome. "Wake up," he whispered with his nudge.
She squirmed and rolled into his arm. "Good boy…sit."
She was dreaming about a dog?
"Kagome," he whispered louder and pulled himself closer. This only made her trade the stuffed dog for his shoulder to snuggle with.
Sesshoumaru wanted to leave her there to sleep and even embrace her but he pushed those thoughts away. Once again he was going to try and wake her up when she mummbled in her sleep.
"No Sesshoumaru…off the bed. Stop licking my face…"
He frowned. She was dreaming about him. As a dog. Maybe now was a good time to have some fun with her. Sesshoumaru leaned closer and licked the side of her neck and gave a small bite.
Kagome's eyes opened hazily. "Stop it Sesshoumaru…" She snuggled closer and then jumped away hitting her head on the window.
"Ow! Dammit," she muttered.
"Are you alright?" He asked trying not to laugh or smile.
He saw her blush. "Y-yeah. G-guess I fell asleep huh? Oh look I'm home! Well thanks for the ticket. Had fun at the fair! Bye!" She stumbled out of the car and closed it as silently as possible.
Sesshoumaru also got out and walked with her to the front door.
"You don't have to-"
"I want to," he stated and that seemed to keep her quiet. They arrived at the front door and Kagome turned to him.
"Thanks again for tonight I had fun," she repeated.
He leaned down and kissed her, enjoying the way she complied willingly.
"I would like to take you on a real date," Sesshoumaru said when he pulled away.
Kagome's eyes got wide. "Um…okay. But ah, here's the thing. Let's just say I like you okay? Theoretically," she stated. "I'm worried that I'll lose Inuyasha as a friend." There seemed to be something else she wished to say but kept quiet.
Sesshoumaru didn't know why.
"If you're serious about me you need to prove it by getting the ok from him."
"Fine," he answered.
"Fine? You're actually going to try?" Kagome looked shock.
"For whatever reason, I have taken an interest in you. I intend to explore this," he replied.
She blushed. "T-thank you?" Kagome wasn't completely sure how to take that statement.
He smirked. "I'll come by tomorrow then." He bent down and kissed her again. This time grazing his fangs across her bottom lip. "Good night. Sleep well," he said as he walked away.
Knowing very well that she may not, just because of him.
Which brought him great pleasure.
...
Kagome went inside feeling a bit light headed. Maybe it had been from all those rides. Or from that kiss…
Kagome shook her head. She had thought for sure that he would forget about the idea of dating her if she had given him the challenge of getting Inuyasha's approval.
Not to forget the embarrassment she felt when she had fallen asleep in his car. Although the dream she had was rather amusing. Imagining Sesshoumaru as a cute white fluffy dog who licked her.
But in real life he was none of that. He was sexy, dangerous, and manly.
"Hey! How was the fair?" Inuyasha asked as she came into the living room.
"I had a nice time," Kagome replied and got a glass of water.
"Hey what's with your neck?" he asked.
She raised an eyebrow. "My neck?" Kagome put down her water and went to the mirror hanging on the wall. "Ohsweetmygoodness!" She shrieked all at once.
There was a hickey of sorts forming on her neck and the spot was wet like she'd been licked. She slapped her hands over it. "I'm going to kill him!" she vowed.
Kagome quickly ran up the stairs to hide her neck and blush. Leaving a very baffled Inuyasha holding his bowl of Ramen.
...
AN: I laughed while writing this. That sneaky Sesshoumaru XD R&R if you enjoyed and laughed like me!
