Disclaimer: Don't own the characters of Inu Yasha I just like to play with them.
CH: 5 Unexpected Actions
Inu Yasha stood at his locker putting away his books when someone poked him in the side. He yelped and turned to see the face of his attacker.
"Damn it Kagome. What do you think you're doing?" Inu Yasha growled. In actuality he was upset that she had been able to sneak up on him.
"What's wrong Inu Yasha, ticklish?" Kagome said with mock innocence. Inu Yasha just glared at her. "So how was your walk with Kikyou?" To this comment Inu Yasha's face turned a bright red and averted his gaze. "That good huh? I guess I'll go have to talk to my sister about it." She walked off in the direction of her next class.
"Well at least she's gone. I should ask her what Kikyou had to say about what happened though." Inu Yasha couldn't keep the blush from returning as her remembered the morning's events.
~~~~~~~~~Flashback
Inu Yasha had picked up Kikyou from her house. She was rather stunned when she went to open the door and saw Inu Yasha standing there. She had expected it would be Kagome forgetting something as usual. Being that she was still nervous walking alone even in the middle of the day, Kikyou agreed to take Inu Yasha's offer of accompaniment.
They were talking about nothing in particular and at times would have long moments of silence. Normally such a silence would annoy Inu Yasha, but for some reason he found it entirely tolerable while he was in Kikyou's presence. Just as he turned to say something to Kikyou, he saw her trip on a crack in the sidewalk. She instinctively grabbed his arm and he turned to catch her. He held her shoulders as she got her balance back.
"Are you okay?" After asking about her welfare Inu Yasha blushed at the position they were in. A little closer and they would have been embracing. Kikyou still seemed to be a little confused as to what had happened, but then regained her senses. They stood still for a bit. Kikyou looked up to see Inu Yasha staring down at her, but as soon as their eyes met Inu Yasha averted his gaze. Noticing the blush on his cheeks Kikyou felt something that she couldn't explain. She then stepped forward turning their awkward hold of each other into something much more intimate.
They stood embraced. Kikyou's arms around Inu Yasha's waist and his around her shoulders. They then separated, both a bit embarrassed. Both were wondering what had caused Kikyou to act like that. Inu Yasha looked down at her, confusion clearly in his eyes. Then he saw her flushed face and unsteady gaze, and something came over him. He lowered his face and lips met. It was a light and hesitant touch, but it sent sparks through both of them. When the kiss ended they continued their journey hand in hand.
~~~~~~~~~End Flashback
Kagome was surprised when she had heard what happened from Kikyou. Of course she had to beg her sister for the details. Why couldn't she experience anything like that? Classes had finally ended and after the morning's events Kagome found herself somewhat hesitant of having to confront Sesshoumaru. She walked down the hall and met up with her small group of friends.
"Hello Kagome-san" Miroku greeted her as she came to stand next to him. She then felt a hand inching its way onto her backside. Before she could protest, Miroku had been slapped by a very angry looking Sango. "I was just kidding Sango. You know I only love you." Miroku just got another slap for that and decided it would be best to be quiet at the moment.
"Hey Kagome, we're going to the movies. Wanna come?" Sango asked Kagome after she had finished slapping Miroku.
"I wish I could, but I have to work on my project with Sesshoumaru."
"Feh, just ditch him. He's a jerk anyway." Inu Yasha would have continued with his insults of his half-brother if Kikyou had not been there. He still did not want to ruin his chances of what seemed to be the starting of a great relationship.
"He's not a jerk, he just has a lot on his mind."
"Yeah like how to make my miserable. Just face it Kagome the guy is an emotionless jerk."
"He is not emotionless. And I don't see why he should be nice to you when all you do is insult him." 'He's not emotionless. No one without emotions would have said the things he did this morning. I can't tell them that though.'
"How would you know anything about him? I've lived with him for a few years, he's an insensitive ass."
The argument continued, but unknown to them the subject of their fight was listening right around the corner.
'She's defending me to her friends. Why?' Sesshoumaru was at a lost as to why Kagome would defend him. If anyone had the right to think that he was a jerk he would think it would be her after the way that he treated her. 'I don't understand.' Sesshoumaru then decided to make his presence known and end the stupid dispute.
The entire group went quiet as they noticed Sesshoumaru. Inu Yasha glared at him, but he ignored it. "Are you ready to go? I would like to leave as soon as possible."
Kagome nodded and after a hasty goodbye to her friends she walked off with Sesshoumaru.
"Where are we going?" Kagome said as she noticed that they were heading to the back of the school.
"The parking lot. Unless of course you would like to walk to the beach." Kagome then felt incredibly stupid. She hadn't even thought of how they would get there. 'He must think I'm an idiot.' Her thoughts were cut off by her amazement as she saw his car. It was a sleek black Lexus. 'I guess he amazes me a lot. His house, then the car, his looks.' Kagome caught herself before she traveled down that road. 'This trip is going to be awkward enough without those thoughts to add to it.'
~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome stared out the window watching the scenery pass by. "You didn't need to do that you know." Kagome turned towards Sesshoumaru when she realized he was speaking to her. 'Duh, Kagome who else would he be talking to.'
"Do what?" For a second she wondered if the question had been from inside her mind, because he seemed to not be paying attention to her very existence.
"Defend me to your friends. I care not about what they think of me."
"You heard us?" Kagome was rather shocked and embarrassed. "I'm sorry you heard that. I wouldn't want to hear people insulting me."
"I told you. I do not care about their opinions."
"I know that's what you say, but I doubt that's what you really feel."
"Do not presume that just because of what I told you this morning that you suddenly know everything about me." His words were harsh and seemed to tell her to drop the second or she would regret it. 'Why do I have to be so cruel to her. She's the only one who even taken the time to get to know me. She's the only one to ever defend me other than those airhead girls at school.'
The ride was silent the rest of the way. Both were lost in thought. Kagome was wondering how to get him to open up. Sesshoumaru was wondering why he couldn't open up.
~~~~~~~
Kagome raised her hand to block out the dying sun. They had spent the entire day at the beach working on their project, collecting samples of water, writing down observations, and such. She had then decided to lay on the sand in the bathing suit that she had brought with her. She was surprised that Sesshoumaru had not demanded that they leave when they were done.
She noticed that he was sitting about two feet away from her. She could feel the weight of his gaze settle on her and turned to meet it. She smiled at him and he turned away. 'Does he ever smile?' Kagome wondered wistfully as she sat up and turned her gaze to the beautiful sunset. 'It will be dark soon.'
'Why does she insist on being so nice to me after I act so cold to her?' His gaze returned to the girl he found so unusual and enticing. He studied her as she watched the sunset. He took in her long raven hair and fair skin. His eyes went down to stare at her naturally ruby lips. 'I wonder what they would taste like.' He was so entranced that he did not even berate himself for his last thought.
Sesshoumaru unconsciously moved closer to the girl that had captured his interest. Soon he was sitting beside her close enough to feel the warmth that her body emanated. Kagome was unaware of his closeness as she studied the scenery. As the sun was settling down for the night, Kagome started to shudder as it got cooler. She then was startled as an arm came around her waist. She turned to see Sesshoumaru incredibly close and holding her. She thought of moving away but the warmth he was giving her was too good to leave. She instead found herself leaning into him putting her head on his shoulder.
Sesshoumaru had noticed Kagome shivering as the temperature slowly lowered. He was shocked by his own actions as his arm instinctively moved to give her some of his warmth. He was even more surprised when instead of pushing him away she leaned into him and rested her head on his shoulder. For the first time from what he could remember, Sesshoumaru was actually content. They sat there watching the sun on the horizon.
Before the last of the light was gone, Sesshoumaru thought it be best they leave. He turned to her and was caught by her grayish blue eyes. He remembered his thought earlier and lowered his head to press his lips against hers.
Kagome noticed him getting closer and gave a slight jolt of surprise as his lips settled against hers. She quickly gave into to the kiss and returned it fully. It was her first kiss and she thought it was better than any dream she had imagined before. It was firm yet not demanding and left her breathless.
They pulled apart both slightly breathless and stared into each others eyes. Sesshoumaru was the first to come back to his senses. He realized what he had done and started to internally yell at himself for his foolishness. He had been surprised when she had returned the kiss, but now he felt like a fool. She could never return the feelings that he now knew he held for her. 'She deserves better. This may hurt her now, but it will be better for her in the end.and me' With that resolution he released her and stood up.
Kagome stood and followed him to the car. She was still floating on air form the kiss, but he made her come crashing down. "Do not believe that what just happened, shows that I have any feelings for you. I was caught in the moment and it shall not happen again." His tone was harsh and unfeeling.
Kagome buckled her seatbelt and lowered her head. She felt incredibly embarrassed for what had happened. She also felt hurt by his words. 'How can he be so cruel?'
By the end of the tense and silent drive, Kagome was almost in tears. As she got out in front of her house, she couldn't hold back any longer. The tears overflowed. "Don't cry. I'm not worth your tears." With those final words he drove off.
'I could never be worth your tears, Kagome. I wish you could understand that I don't think I could ever be worthy of your smile.' Sesshoumaru's face betrayed no emotion as he returned home although internally he felt as if he had just died.
Kagome ran into her house after Sesshoumaru had left. She ran straight to her room with tears flowing freely down her face. Kikyou saw her sister run past her room. She went to Kagome's room to see her sister crying on the bed. She knew there was nothing she could say. She stood in the doorway as she watched her sister cry her heart out.

Sorry for the sad ending, but don't worry it'll get better I promise. Remember to keep sending in those reviews, I love reading them. Well hope you enjoyed.
