".And every fair from fair declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;"

Darling Buds of May
Chapter Five:
There was a soft knock on the door.
'Kagome's here early today.' thought Inu-yasha. 'I hope nothing's wrong.' he blushed, knowing that he shouldn't worry about that girl. But lately, it seemed he couldn't help but, at the very least, think about Kagome. He pulled himself up into a sitting position.
"Um, you can come in." Inu-yasha mumbled.
The door opened, and someone stepped in, but it wasn't Kagome.
"Sess? What're you doing here? It's the middle of the day, so shouldn't you be working?" Sesshomaru. Inu-yasha's older brother. He had taken over the family's company since the accident; Sesshomaru had spent the last month and a half buried in paperwork, trying to straight out various accounts. In fact, he'd worked so hard, that the company had actually improved from its previous standing, which was already well to do in the first place.
"I decided to take a lunch brake and stop by. I'd almost forgotten what you'd looked like." He smirked.
"Feh." Inu-yasha looked out the window. He really wished Kagome was here.
"Besides, Mr. Myoga was unable to visit you today." Sesshomaru glanced at his brother sideways. 'The last time I saw him, Inu-yasha didn't look like he'd pull through. so many injuries, and then his legs. But it seems he's starting to heal.'
Sesshomaru sat in a chair next to Inu-yasha's bed. They stayed that way for a long time, one looking out the window, the other leaning back, eyes closed. Inu-yasha finally broke the silence.
"So. how's that uh, what's-his-name? Jakki?" Sesshomaru laughed softly.
"You mean my secretary Jaken? I don't believe I've met a more. well, let us call him dedicated in terms of his job and the general concerns of our family." Inu-yasha snorted.
"So in other words, he's a pain in the -"
"Um, hello? Inu-yasha?"
'Kagome's here?!' Inu-yasha thought excitedly. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. 'He has a female visitor?'
"Co-come in, Kagome." Sesshomaru looked quickly to his brother, who in turn, was looking at the door, excitement plain on his face. 'Hrm. I was told he wouldn't see anyone other than Myoga or me.' Sesshomaru turned to see a lovely young woman around his brother's age with dark hair, engaging hazel eyes, and a pleasant smile.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you had a visitor. Shall I come back tomorrow instead?" A brief look of panic flickered across Inu-yasha's face. 'Ah. I understand now. It seems you've chosen well brother.' Sesshomaru smiled, at the young woman and stood up to greet her.
"Do not leave, Miss. I do believe that your departure would greatly trouble my younger brother, and I do not particularly wish to be in the same room when Inu-yasha is angry." He watched as both looked away, blushing. He held out his hand. "I am Sesshomaru Misato, Inu-yasha's older brother. I do not believe Inu-yasha has graced me with your name, though."
"Her name's Kagome." mumbled Inu-yasha, still looking away.
"Does she not have a last name as well?" asked Sesshomaru, eyes laughing.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi."
"Well, Miss Higurashi, I shall leave you with my brother now. My lunch brake is almost over, anyway. Inu-yasha? You must be polite to Miss Higurashi." He bowed politely, and made his way out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"So, how are you today?" Kagome said a little too enthusiastically.
Author's Note: So, how'd you like my version of Sesshomaru? I wanted to make him a little nicer. Hope it's not too out of character though! Oh, and don't worry, there will be much, much more to come with Sango and Miroku. Sorry if this chapter's a little short. I've been exercising my brain all day. Again, I hope you've enjoyed my fan fiction so far. And as always, READ AND REVIEW!!! Until next time, enjoy!
