Boys Over Flowers: Inuyasha Edition

Chapter 37

Aubrey continued to pull her extra shifts at The Bunny Hole well on into the following weeks, and for the most part enjoyed her time there… except for when Inutashio took it upon himself to stop by during her shift. After finding out the girl worked there, the man made it a habit of going there after work before heading home. There was just something about Aubrey being dressed so… naughty that got his blood rushing. Aubrey tried her best to ignore him, despite him being her biggest tipper, and for the most part succeeded. He wanted to just watch her and drink, not necessarily harass her. Aubrey, honestly, paid the man no mind. For alongside working, she was also preparing for her audition with Bankotsu and dividing her time between her home and Sesshomaru's condo. It was now a given that the belle spent her weekends away from home with the boy. She of course felt bad about it, her mother wasn't seeming to get any better and she didn't want to put everything on her sister, but Sesshomaru all but demanded to spend as much time with the girl as possible before they both became too busy.

The boy, for the most part, had gotten used to just seeing Aubrey a few days a week. He had college, his various clubs, and homework to keep himself occupied and Aubrey had her home life so there was nothing he needed to worry about. That is, until one night he had gotten home from the library and had received a text message from his father. Normally the older Tashio didn't bother with such commodities, he preferred talking on the phone or emailing more than anything. So of course Sesshomaru had been a tad skeptical when he saw his father had left him a picture message. Normally if the man wanted to show him something, he would've sent it via email. But as they boy opened the message, he all but blew a fuse. His father had sent him a picture of himself, smiling that faux charming smile he put on at his business meetings, with Aubrey sitting almost uncomfortably in his lap. The girl was holding a waitress tray with empty beer bottles balanced on it, her long legs slightly crossed as she was held in the man's lap. It wouldn't have bothered him as much if the girl wasn't sitting in the older man's lap, and had she not been dressed like she'd been cut out of a playboy magazine. He had immediately called his father, all but demanding to know the meaning behind the photo.

"Calm down, Sessh-kun." The older man had purred smoothly. "It was just a harmless picture. I didn't know she worked at The Bunny Hole, and doubted you knew too. Doesn't she look just delicious in her little bunny costume? All the girls there wear them."

Sesshomaru damn near hung up on the elder Tashio, the sound of his voice alone bothered him to no end. He knew Aubrey had a second job, only he hadn't expected it to be at a place like that. So for the time being, his knowing of her Bunny Hole employment was going to be his little secret. And it was then when he decided that every weekend from that moment on, until he could convince the girl to move in with him, their weekends were going to be spent in Tokyo together. Something about his father being so friendly with her rubbed the boy the wrong way. So Sesshomaru, tweaking his already hectic schedule, planned accordingly for the girl to spend the weekends with him. That was he could have his eyes closely on her. And made all the necessary arrangements, going as far as even to provide clothing and transportation for her.

When the couple had arrived to the campus gym (pool and lounge), the two had decided to go their separate ways. Sesshomaru, since attending the university, had taken up swimming to pass some of his extra time when Aubrey wasn't there and to relieve some of his stress, and much to his surprise had come to enjoy it quite much. It had become a great routine in his newly stressful everyday life, and he had asked Aubrey to join him when she was at his condo on the weekends. The girl had been reluctant at first for obvious reasons, she had managed to successfully avoided gyms for a good majority of her lifetime. But considering the fact that she was in the process of being signed to the largest talent company in the country, she considered putting in a little bit of time at the gym to make things better. Which turned out to be a great investment. Her body had reacted quickly to her new weekend regiments, her abs flatter and leaner, her thighs and legs toner. Even Sesshomaru had noticed the significant change in her body, and at times (especially since he saw her just on weekends) couldn't keep his hands off of her… which was saying something since he was already an 'Aubrey Addict' to begin with. Aubrey already had the body of a dream dancer, the boy hadn't imagined that it could get any better… but it had, and they were both enjoying the results.

While Sesshomaru was off at the pool, Aubrey occupied herself on the treadmill since she normally did laps at home around her neighborhood to clear her mind. Both parties had been equally surprised their first trip to the campus workout wing. Sesshomaru, for the first time since being with the girl, was dawning a pair of swim trunks. Aubrey had visibly blushed at the boy's body, like it was her first time seeing him dressed in such a fashion (never mind her seeing him naked), which had of course been an enticing sight. His taunted muscles packed tighter against his snowy skin. All the way down to his strong legs and calves, faintly covered in fine silver hairs. He too had found himself speechless as he gazed at Aubrey, and all her exposed skin. The girl wore a pair of those tiny elastic dance shorts with a sports bra in the same shade… and nothing else. Needless to say Sesshomaru had wanted to touch her all over but Aubrey had been firmly against it. It was a public place, not his condo, she didn't want him getting in any forms of trouble that could jeopardize his residencies.

Aubrey had downloaded hours' worth of country music onto her phone, so when she ran on the treadmill (as well as at home) she had something to listen to as well as keep her mind off of Sesshomaru. From where she was, the actually gym overlooked the fifty meter indoor pool, she could easily hear the splashes from the boy swimming his laps. And when the pool grew quiet, meant the boy was taking a break and watching her run. She'd rather not know when the boy was lusting for her, all it did was throw off her concentration and balance. And so she ran, her arms pumping at her sides, fuled by lyrics and determination.

Every now and then Aubrey found herself glancing down onto the pool, Sesshomaru's body speeding through the water like an elegant silver torpedo. The way he moved through the water was simply beautiful, his long limbs extended with their magnificent movements, And once she realized she had been staring, Aubrey would look away, hoping he hadn't been watching her watching him.

Sesshomaru came up for air, moving his wet bangs from his face as he glanced up to the workout room above. Luckily for him, the treadmills, ellipticals, and bicycles were placed right where they had a clear view of the swimming pool, and vice versa. Meaning he had an all too great of a view of Aubrey working out as well. The boy was transfixed by the look of concentration and dedication on the girl's face. By the way her breasts, neatly packed into the tiny sling that was her sports bra, bounced as she ran. He could easily see the glistening trails of sweat beading down her sides as well as moving tantalizingly slow down the valley between her breasts. Sesshomaru felt himself growl as he continued to watch all the different actions happening to her body at once. The bounce of her chest, the traveling of her sweat, the look on her face, the flexion of her limbs. The boy gave a smirk as his gaze locked with hers.

Aubrey had slyly glanced down at Sesshomaru, surprised to find him floating in the water effortlessly, staring up at her. Their gaze held for a moment before the girl gave him a scowl, a roll of her dark eyes, and then turned her full attention back towards her running. Aubrey felt her heart flutter and for a moment almost fell right off her treadmill.

Sesshomaru smirked once more as he climbed from the pool, he was officially done for the day. with the swagger fit for a king, the boy dried himself off before making his way up to the blushing belle. Aubrey, for the most part, pretended not to notice him for reasons they both knew. His arms would fold over his damp pectorals, his gaze intent on her as he waited patiently for her to notice his presence.

"Are you done?" Aubrey asked breathlessly as she removed one of her ear buds. Sesshomaru loved to hear her so desperate for air, if only he could leave her out of breath in another way…

"I am," He nodded. "How much longer?"

"Erm… ten minutes? Gives me time to finish up and then stretch."

"Alright, ten minutes." And with that, Sesshomaru calmly swayed away into the men's locker room.

Once he was completely gone, Aubrey sighed. Something about that boy always left her weak in the knees. Her ten minutes came and went, and when she finally entered the women's locker room, she all but jumped out of her skin as she found Sesshomaru sitting casually along one of the benches with nothing but a towel on. She wondered what in god's name was he doing in there when clearly men weren't allowed, but knew the boy would replay with some smart assish comment (like how no one was there so it didn't matter, or that there was no cameras in the locker rooms so no one would know), so decided upon saying nothing. Aubrey was quiet as she went about opening her locker and retrieving her change of clothes and personals. She sat down to take off her shoes when she realized the boy had been watching her the entire time, like a lion stalking its prey at night.

"Can I help you?" Aubrey snapped, removing her bright pink running sneakers.

"No, just admiring your beauty." Replied Sesshomaru coyly. "Oh the things I'd love to do to you right now…"

"I see… you gonna keep starin' at me?" She asked, a small blush in her cheeks.

"That's the plan."

"Fine then." Aubrey yanked her shorts and underwear down in the most unattractive way she could think off. She caught a quick flicker of mischief in his eyes as she removed her bra, her breasts giving a slight bounce before she wrapped herself in a towel of her own.

By then Sesshomaru had already risen to his feet, towering behind the girl as she bent to retrieve her things. "I don't think you're going to be needing this." He whispered huskily as he traced the band of the towel.

"… if you don't get the hell off of me," Aubrey blushed as she pushed the boy away. "If I wanted your two cents, I's rob you… and besides, you're not even supposed to be in here."

Sesshomaru smirked at this, "There's no one here but us, A-u-brey." He chided.

'…it's saddening how predictable he is sometimes…'
