A/N: heyo guise~! I absolutely adored your words. Especially lakeya2700! It made me giggle so hard. Teehee. I hope you guys like this chapter. I especially like writing this one. *winks*
His rough thumb rubbed at my bottom lip, as he loosened his arms around my shoulders a bit. Shifting in his arms, I turned around to come face to face with him, his golden eyes flashing at me. "Why would I tell you that?" I asked, attempting to keep my voice calm.
"It is quite obvious to this Sesshomaru how you feel. Instead of attempting to hide it, just tell me."
I could hear Shippo playing in the back of the house, goosebumps running up my arms idly. My hands squished between our chests as I loosened his midnight blue tie, his narrowed gold eyes studying me. "I have never attempted to hide it, Sesshomaru. I have never tried to lie about my feelings."
"I know this all too well. You were very intent on killing me when we first met." He raised his eyebrow suggestively towards me, as I felt a smirk play across my lips.
"Besides, I'm not the one who kissed first the last couple times. So should you really be telling me not to hide my feelings, when you really want to tell yourself that?"
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed towards me, anger flashing through them for a split second. "Do not for one second, think you can see into this Sesshomaru's emotions. I feel no such thing towards a mere human."
"Then why did you kiss me?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. Sesshomaru pulled back a little, his rough hands pulling my fingers off of his tie. "I deserve to know, Sesshomaru."
"This Sesshomaru has not had any relations with a woman since his ward came into the picture. That is perfectly why. I would've kissed any woman." He growled out as I felt a pang in my chest.
"Then why are you here?" I asked through clenched teeth, narrowing my eyes at him. "Why are you holding me, and taking care of me? If I'm just some easy woman to you, get out of my sight right now and I will know the answer to every question I want to ask." I glared up at him as he pulled away, adjusting his tie and dress coat. He walked past the archway as he turned to glance at me, his calculating cold eyes stern.
"Momma?" Sesshomaru walked past Shippo who neared the kitchen archway, as he opened the front door, shutting it hard. My chest felt really heavy as I glanced down towards Shippo, running my hand through my hair. "Did you and Sesshomaru-sama fight?"
"No, not at all honey." I smiled as I pulled out a pan. "Let's start on dinner."
"Okay!"
I shut Shippo's bedroom door slowly, as I walked down the hallway. I still had homework to do… I rubbed my temples aggravated as I bit into my bottom lip. My phone buzzed as I pulled it out, glancing down at the contact. I felt my eyes roll as I swiped to answer. "What do you want, Sesshomaru?"
"The miko is wrong."
"About what, may I ask?"
"This Sesshomaru is not running from his emotions."
"Yeah, you said that earlier today." I scoffed as I sat in my swivel chair, running my fingers through my hair, pulling it up into a messy bun on top of my head. "Is that all?"
"You are running from your emotions."
"How so, Mister?"
"You tell me you hate me, when your actions prove otherwise."
"Well, if you're not running from your emotions, then what were those kisses?" There was a long silence on the other end of the line. I suddenly felt a chill run up my spine as I glanced towards the window, biting my lip nervously. "I need an answer, Sesshomaru. I can't keep running after a hopeless dream."
"What dream would that be?"
"You know what it is." I sighed as I pressed my elbow against the wood of my desk, my fingers working at my temples slowly. "You know exactly what I'm talking about."
"Enlighten this Sesshomaru." His voice was deep, as it smoothed over my nerves, caressing them easily. "What is a hopeless dream?"
"You are." I bit out as I pushed my palm against my eye socket. "You barged into my life like a typhoon, and left just as dangerously." The line was silent as I bit the inside of my cheek, glaring at the harmless sketch book on my desk. "Sesshomaru… You've known how I've felt about you since day one. I am an open book, and you and everyone who knows me knows this. I'm easy to read, and it's sad to say, but it's true." I paused as I leaned back, feeling my back pop in the process. "You're like… You're the total opposite of me. The total opposite of what I look for in a guy. You're not funny, and you're not nice. You don't treat me kindly, and you use harsh words…" I felt tears prick my eyes as I sucked in a shaky breath. "when you speak to me, and I hate everything that you stand for. I hate everything about you… But that's what makes my feelings for you so strong…"
"Kagome." I paused as his calm voice spoke over the phone. "Just tell this Sesshomaru."
"Why in God's name do I need to tell you? I just spelt it out for you." I growled out, slamming my hand against my desk. "There is nothing to tell. You already know."
"Just enlighten and indulge in this Sesshomaru's request."
"That was nowhere near a request. It was a demand, idiot." I grumbled out as I felt tears slip down my cheeks. "I love you, Sesshomaru. I hate everything you stand for, and you make me so angry, but you're the only one who makes me so happy…" I grinned into the phone as I pressed my hand against my forehead, my fingers running through my bangs. I heard a beep as I blinked, static coming onto the line. "Sesshomaru?"
"Ka…..me." I heard his broken voice through static as I furrowed my eyebrows together.
"Are you there, Sesshomaru?" I asked again as I bit the inside of my cheek again, my heart pounding loud in my ears.
"Ka…. I… Too….. You… Sesshomaru." His voice broke through as the line clicked dead. I looked down at my phone as I swiped to redial his number.
"The number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please-" I ended the call, glaring at my useless phone.
A knock on the door caught my attention, as I glanced down at my phone clock, laying my charcoal down on my work area. I scowled as I stared at the bright green numbers on my phone, glancing at the stove and microwave clock as well. "God bless it, InuYasha. Why must you get drunk tonight?" I shook my head as I stood up, my chair swiveling underneath the movement. I slipped on my slippers, as I shuffled towards the door. I disarmed the security box, as I unlatched the chain on the door, pulling it open. "Jeez, dude. Its way past 1 am… Must you drink tonight?" I stared up at gold eyes as he studied me, as if calculating me next move. "Sesshomaru, what are you doing here? I need to do my…" I was cut off by his lips crashing down on my own, captivating mine. I felt a rush of air come out of me as his fingers ran up the back of my head, pulling my hair tie out of my messy bun.
His fangs nipped at my bottom lip as I wrapped my arms around his neck, drawing him closer. I heard the door click, and my back was against the cold metal almost immediately. His hand ran down my back as I felt coldness run through every single touch of his. I pulled away from him as his lips found my neck almost immediately, chills running down my spine. My body felt frozen as I attempted to squirm out of his arms. "Tell me you love me again, Kagome." His voice sent goose bumps up my entire body, a chill running through my entire body. My heart pounded in my chest, as I stared wide eyed at the top of Sesshomaru's head.
"What's going on, Sesshomaru? This isn't funny."
He lifted his head as he blinked, his gold irises, turning into blood red, the pupil dilated. I felt my breath catch in my throat, as his calloused hand gripped my throat. "Sorry, Kagome. It will definitely be easier with you out." He pulled out a syringe out of his pocket, waving it in front of my face.
