What is Names?

Prompt:Things you never remember.

Sesshoumaru stopped by the book store Kagome worked in. He needed a book for his Written Classics Class. So what better time to get it then while Higurashi-san worked?

Dingle-ling, went the bell.

"I'll be with you in just a minute." called a voice from the back room.

Kagome came out with a large box of books in her arms, one that was obviously too heavy for her to carry long. Sesshoumaru took it from her gently. "Where do you want it Higurashi-san."

"Oh... umm... Just over there thank you." She gestured to the counter.

But before he could move there came a terrible hiss and the shredding of cloth. Sesshoumaru dropped the box in surprise. He rushed to catch it but he tripped on the cat ventilating his pants. He tumbled over the box. All four of them ending up on the floor, him, the cat, Kagome and the box of books between them.

"Are you okay... Mister?" she asked as she tried to help him up from her place under the box.

Sesshoumaru jumped up lifted the box off her in a hurry and dashed it over to the counter before the cardboard could brake and have all the books on the floor. At least the ones that hadn't already escaped.

He was over helping her up before she could get up very far on her own. She took the hand he offered her.

Looking up at him Higurashi said, "I remember you, you're the man who had his face on all the billboards. How did that work out for you?"

"My mother removed them after I talked to her."

"Oh, good for you, mister..?" she smiled brightly at him.

"Um..." 'What's my name? I can't remember my name!' Just then his cell phone began to ring. "Just a minute." He walked behind a bookshelf for some privacy. "Moshi, moshi."

"Hello Sesshoumaru, I was just calling to let you know you mother called the dorm mother to let her know she would be stopping by today."

"Okay. Miroku I need to ask you something."

"Yes?"

"What is my name?"

"Sesshoumaru, are you feeling okay."

"Yes. Goodbye." Sesshoumaru hung up.

When he came back out he saw the woman scolding a cat. "...you naughty kitty. You know you're not supposed to come into the store, or the back room. Mr. Kyoto will be mad at you mister."

Sesshoumaru almost let loose a small smile. Instead he cleared his throat.

"Oh!" Kagome blushed. She ducked her head so she wouldn't have to look at him. When she did she caught a glance at his pants. "Oh dear! Did Buyo do that?"

"Buyo?"

"The cat."

Sesshoumaru nodded.

"Oh Buyo." her voice sounded like a disappointed parent. Then she set him out the door to the back room. "Now mister..."

Sesshoumaru cut her off. "Sesshoumaru... My name is Sesshoumaru."

"Um..." she blushed again, "I don't think it's proper for people who've just met to call each other by their first names."

"..." It took Sesshoumaru a couple of seconds to remember his last name. "Tsukino."

"Tsukino-san," she smiled, "Is there anything I can help you find?"

"Yes." Sesshoumaru was thankful he had written it down. "I'm looking for this book." He handed her the neat slip of paper.

Kagome smiled at him again. "This way." She stayed with him to help him find it. And then Kagome walked with him back to the cash register.

"Thank you. Please stop by again." Kagome bowed to the customer as he left.

AN: I hope you enjoyed the Thirteenth Chapter. I would really like to know what you think of it. Good or bad. Thanks!

PS. The surname Tsukino means moon field. I thought it was fitting.
