Here it is, the next snippet: Vacation with Kagome. This is entirely in Sesshomaru's POV by the way.
Enjoy! :)

I looked at Kagome who was nervously biting her fingernails and had hardly spoken a word to me during dinner. I couldn't understand what I had done wrong today, if indeed I had done anything wrong at all. We had eaten dinner at a rather upscale restaurant and I was planning on seducing her before the night ended- Rin would be asleep by then so it wouldn't be too much of an issue. As it was now, I was thinking that my plan for the night was a lost cause.

"What did I do wrong?" I asked her without thinking. I was glad we were secluded because I would never admit in my entire life that I did something wrong- I only handled things differently and sometimes they didn't work out to the best of outcomes. To my surprise, Kagome's eyes widened in shock. Why would they- unless- had she been thinking of something else?

"Kagome, about what happened a few days ago, when I-" I paused trying to find a subtle way to approach the issue, "spent the night over, if you regret it, I'm sorry. It may have been too early and…"

"Stop!" Her exclamation was followed immediately as I calmly waited for her to explain. It wasn't long before she began speaking.

"I'm sorry I've been acting odd all night. The dinner was wonderful, and I-" she blushed and I found that I rather liked the red hue her cheeks took, especially when I heard the next few words she said. "I wouldn't mind too much if we did it again. It's just that I'll be gone next week and that's kind of been on my mind all night."

"Gone?" I asked confused, she hadn't mentioned anything about that.

"Yes, my family takes an annual beach trip to Okinawa and it's going to be the following week. Remember my brother?" I nodded my head. "That's what he came to talk to me about that time you met him. I kind of forgot all about it until Souta mentioned it or I would have told you earlier." Seeing her feel guilty I felt a slight twinge. She had no reason to feel ashamed for forgetting such a fact when I myself hid certain information about my family from her for a while, at least until Inuyasha's wedding plans and the night I'd kind of stormed into her apartment.

"It's okay." I assured her. "When will you be back?" I was planning on taking a beach trip with Rin and was going to ask Kagome about it soon but decided to postpone the trip to a later date.

"Um that's actually kind of something I wanted to talk to you about." I was slightly panicked at her words but didn't show it in my face. Deciding to hear her out I took a deep breath and spoke, not liking the way my voice reflected my waver in emotions.

"Explain." Kagome smiled and laid her hand on mine from across the table.

"Well, I know this is kind of sudden but I was wondering if you and Rin wanted to join us? She's on vacation right now and I thought that the two of you might like to meet my family." I stopped as I registered her words. She had been agitated all night simply because of she was afraid I would refuse to meet her family? Well that was something that had to be fixed.

"Join your family on vacation?" I asked to make sure that I heard right. At her nod, I quickly thought over the decision. It wouldn't hurt to meet them and I felt that Rin would appreciate Shippo's presence at the beach since it would give her a playmate. Plus, spending a week with Kagome clad in swimwear- I would not refuse it. I was a man and while I wouldn't force Kagome into things, there was nothing preventing me from appreciating her beauty and her presence so I would take it when I could.

"I would love to come; I just have to clear it with my father first at work." Kagome nodded with a smile as I wondered if I could continue with my previous plans for the night now that she was in a better mood. I supposed I could as I decided to increase the charm once again.

Thanks for reading and please review!
