When one meets another

Chapter ten – Interrogation

The night was dark as the moon emits light to the bedroom window. Kagome was sleeping peacefully on her bed. Golden orbs shone in the corner of her bed looking at her peaceful face. A hand suddenly caressed her smooth face. She started to move then slept again. He continued to gaze at her face. Afterwards, he exited the room.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The morning was bright as Kagome ready herself for the day. They had decided to continue to roam around the city. She exited the house and made her way to the tree. There sat Sesshoumaru. She looked at him.

'He's so handsome when he's human yet he's still an asshole.'

"Ahem… Are you ready to go? Your mind seems to be in another world." Kagome questioned. He looked up at her and stood up.

"You are still not permitted to talk to me like that, wench."

"Yeah… yeah…" She replied while waving her hand.

"And who gave you permission to call me that?"

"I can call you whatever I want, wench. Now, shall we go?" He started to walk leaving her. He grinned when he heard her mutter some words.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They sat beside a see-through window of the coffee house.

"Stay here while I order us some coffee." Kagome left him. Sesshoumaru looked at the window.

'This place is very industrialized.' He looked at the cars passing in the street.

'This place is noisy, too and a very strong stench of humans.' He thought as he rubbed his nose with his finger. Kagome came back with their coffee. Sesshoumaru looked at the coffee Kagome offered to him. He looked at Kagome. She noticed his gaze at her

"Oh… I almost forgot. That's a coffee. You can drink it. It's very good." He looked at the coffee again then sniffed it.

'It has a good aroma.'

"Have a taste. It's edible." He looked at her. Slowly he lifted the cup to his and tasted it.

"Well? What do you think?"

"Affirmative." He replied. She smiled with satisfaction. She observed him drink the coffee.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The doorbell of the coffee shop rang as two girls entered the door. They looked around to find vacant seats. When they spotted Kagome, they looked at each other then walked towards her.

"Kagome?" She widened her eyes when she saw them.

"Hey guys! Long time no see!" Kagome stood up and hugged her friends.

"Hey, Kagome! We missed you! Are you okay now? You're not hanging out with us? Are you still sick?" Her friends questioned her looking at her.

"No, I'm alright now. I'm just busy."

'Darn, grandpa…'

"Oh… then call us when you're open. We really missed you." Kagome smiled.

"Sure. Well then, care to sit with us?" Her friends looked at her company. They stood there immobilized.

"Hey, you two? Are you okay?" She waved her hands with their gaze at Sesshoumaru.

"Yeah. Sorry."

"Sorry Kagome. It's just he's so handsome. Who's he?" They whispered to her ear. Kagome giggled a little as they sat.

"Oh… This is Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru, these are my friends."

"Hi." They said in a duet. Sesshoumaru nodded then looked at the window. They continued to gaze at him. Kagome started to get irritated.

"Hey Kagome can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." She replied as she sipped her coffee.

"I-is he the one you're talking about? You know. The one we're talking about in school?" Kagome almost spit her coffee. Sesshoumaru's eyes looked at them, interested with the topic.

"Oh no. He's not that one. Sesshoumaru is just… um… Sesshoumaru… is just my cousin. He's just having some vacation here in Tokyo. He's from Kyoto."

"Uhhhmmm…" They replied absorbing the information.

"The one you're talking about is… is his… brother…" Sesshoumaru looked at her with the corner of his eyes.

"His name is Inuyasha. He's not here in Tokyo. Do I make myself clear?"

"Uhhhmmm… So they're brothers. Are they alike?"

"Um… kinda… they both have silver hair and golden eyes."

"So… who do you like most?" They leaned closer to her getting more interested with the topic. Sesshoumaru gazed at her, waiting for her answer. Panic started to crawl at her. She thought for a getaway. She looked at her watch.

"Oh… I'm sorry. We have to go now. We had an appointment with my mom. Sorry."

" Oh... okay. Then call us when you want a gig. Surely, Sesshoumaru here will come. Ne?"

"Sure he will. We have to go now. Let's go Sesshoumaru." He pulled him out of the chair. Her friends waved goodbye. She pulled Sesshoumaru all the way the street. When they are far away from the coffee shop, she stopped then looked behind her.

"Hah…" She breathed out. Sesshoumaru stared at her.

"That was close. Why do they always ask such complicated questions?" Sesshoumaru continued to stare at her. Coming back to her, she noticed the man beside her.

"What are you staring at?" Kagome questioned him. He raised his right eyebrow letting her know what she had done earlier. Kagome crossed her arms. They stared at each other.

"……"

"……"

"Okay! I give up! I was just getting out of their question. Is that bad?... Or are you saying you're interested with my answer?" Kagome looked at him.

"The question is related to me so I too should know the answer."

"Oh no… Not you too. If you want to know you should be able to read my mind. Okay… Alright? I don't want to encounter other familiar faces." As she started to walk, someone called her name.

"Kagome!" She sighed. Sesshoumaru smirked at her afterwards, removed it. The voice came from behind. She looked back. Upon recognizing the person, she smiled.

"Hojo, nice seeing you here and for the second time." She confronted him with a bright smile. Sesshoumaru got irritated.

"Oh… Sorry… I was waiting for you in here. I remembered you were touring your cousin so, I thought you might be passing by here. I was just asking if you're free this Friday. I was trying to contact your phone at home but no one was answering it."

"Oh, I'm sorry Hojo. My family got out of town to visit my other cousin so no one was at home. But, you're here now. Okay. I'm going out with you this Friday." Sesshoumaru looked at her not showing any emotion but was surprised.

"Great. I'll come by at 9 in the evening is that okay?"

"Sure. See you then?" Hojo nodded then waved goodbye. Kagome looked at Hojo go before turning to Sesshoumaru.

"Let's go." They started to walk.

"Why are you so kind with Hojo?" He questioned her while they walk.

"Well, because he's so kind and gentle. Though sometimes he's weird but I like him."

"You like a low life like that?"

"He's not low life! He's very kind. Not like you!" She retorted. Sesshoumaru didn't reply. They continued to walk back home. When they came home Sesshoumaru disappeared from nowhere.

'Now where did that idiot youkai go? Oh well, He might be in the tree again.' She thought. She called back what happened in the coffee shop.

'Who do I like most?' The question replayed on her mind.

'I don't even know what the answer to that question is.'

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sesshoumaru didn't come back that evening. Kagome got worried. She can't sleep that evening thinking what could have happened to him. She exited the house and looked for him at the tree.

"Sesshoumaru! Are you there?" There was no reply.

"God dammit Sesshoumaru! I'm tired of your joke! Come out now!" Still, no Sesshoumaru. She got fed up. She sat at the grass and leaned her back at the trunk of the tree. After many minutes that had passed looking at the sky, she got calmer.

'Where are you, Sesshoumaru?' She remembered the same situation she had when Inuyasha disappeared.

'Where are you, Inuyasha?' Tears ran down her face. Afterwards, she fell asleep. Right afterwards she had fallen asleep, Sesshoumaru jumped out of nowhere. He looked at her asleep. He smelled her. He smelled fresh tears. He leaned closer to her. He saw cheeks wet. He rubbed the tears.

"Mmmm… Inuyasha…" Kagome said upon her sleep. He growled with anger. He got up. He looked at her angelic face and got calmer.

He carried her. Kagome moaned with reply.

'She's in a very deep sleep. Maybe she didn't have a sleep last night.' He thought as he carried her to her bed. He wrapped the sheets on her. He looked at her.

'Do I have to take care of you?' He thought. He moved her bangs to look at her face clearly.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagome stood alone in an empty shrine. It was dark. She found a lit of light coming out of the closed door. She moved towards it. Slowly, she opened it. The night was dark. It was still evening. She walked around.

"Kagome…" She looked behind her. She saw a silver haired man sitting in the branch of the tree.

"Inuyasha? Is that you?"

"Kagome…" She ran to the tree where the man was sitting.

"Inuyasha?... Come down." The man got up and came down the tree. She saw a white blur. The man confronted her. It was not Inuyasha. It was Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru? What are you doing here?"

"Who do you like most?" Sesshoumaru came closer to her.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome suddenly felt an arm around her waist and a hand on her face. He looked at Sesshoumaru face-to-face.

'He got his other arm back? But how did he do it?'

"What are you doing Sesshoumaru?"

"Who do you like most?" He advanced closer to kiss her.

"No, Sesshoumaru." He still continued.

'No.'

'Inuyasha!' She felt an aura whelped in her stomach. After that, light engulfed them.

Kagome woke up sweating.

'What was that?' She looked at the window. The sun was already setting. She looked around the room. She remembered that she was looking for Sesshoumaru earlier.

'Why am I here?' She got up and looked outside the window. She looked at the tree. She saw silver on the tree. She hurried up downstairs. She exited the house then to the tree. She looked up the tree. There sat Sesshoumaru.

"What are you doing? Where were you?" Sesshoumaru did not answer.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, Fluffy!" He got irritated. He came down to confront her.

"I thought I had reminded you not to call me that." Kagome did not answer. She looked down. Sesshoumaru continued.

"I am the Lord of the Western Lands. You have no right to…"

"I got it! Damn it!" He was stopped by her.

"You had me waiting the entire night! I looked for you all morning that I had fallen asleep beneath that damn tree! The next thing I woke up, I'm in a different location! And you're here now, talking like a big shit!" Kagome shouted at him.

"And that matters to you?"

"Of course it matters!" She fell to her knees and started to cry. Sesshoumaru was shocked. He didn't know what to do. She continued to weep. He thought of relieving her by what he does to Rin. He kneeled beside her then embraced her. She was shocked by his reaction.

"W…"

"……" He was silent.

"What are you doing, Sesshoumaru?" He looked at her and rubbed the tears away. He looked at her eyes.

'This…' She thought.

'This happened in my dream.' She thought. He continued to look at her.

"No, Sesshoumaru." She tried to get free but he won't budge.

"Please… Sesshoumaru don't." She wept on his chest. He embraced her tightly.

"I'm sorry Kagome…" She heard what he had said earlier. She was shock.

"What are you talking about?"

"I will not say it again, wench." He looked at her seriously. She met his golden eyes. They both stared at each other. He moved closer to her then kissed her.

'W…why am I not stopping him?' She thought. They continued to kiss. He kissed her smoothly then passionately. He slid his tongue to her lips. She opened up to him.

His hand moved to her shirt then slid through in it.

'What are you doing? Don't. Stop.' She thought. Suddenly, heat empowered on her body.

'No.' Light engulfed them both until she can't see anything. After that, she saw a pink light then black. She fainted.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm so, so sorry… I didn't update earlier. I hope you will forgive me. But I promise to update faster. I'm very busy in school. I hope you understand that.

Anyway, I'm sorry if Sesshoumaru is very "corny" on this chapter. Well, the whole story. I read many SessKag stories but I can't simply get it right. He is so complicated. Tell me what you think of my Sesshoumaru. Please. So I can change his attitude the next chapter. Thank you.

Getting excited with the next chapter? Well, you have to wait for it. I know I haven't placed any lemons yet but I will. Maybe on the next chapter or on chapter twelve. Just wait. But I ensure you that the next chapters will be much greater. ;p

I'll be waiting on your reviews….
