CHAPTER 6
Back in her apartment, Kagome sat on her overstuffed chair with a sigh.
'What am I doing?' she asked herself. 'I can't go around kissing guys I hardly know!' Kagome sighted. 'But it was very nice…'
``````````
Meanwhile, Inu-Yasha was thinking seriously about the kiss.
'Did the kiss mean anything? Why did I blush? WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT IT?!' He mentally slapped himself. 'I'm acting like I've never been kissed before. And it was on the cheek for Christ's sake!'
Inu-Yasha scowled at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He spit the toothpaste out of his mouth and into the sink. Heading out of the bathroom, he walked into his room and bell heavily onto his bed.
"Damn," was his last word before he fell into an exhausted sleep.
``````````
Kagome awoke the next morning to the incredibly annoying sound of her alarm clock. Groaning, she rolled over and turned it off. Getting out of bed with a yawn and a stretch, Kagome jumped into the shower and got ready for work. She was heading out of the elevator when she heard her name being yelled. Quickly, she turned around and found Inu-Yasha yelling at her to stop. She moved off to the side and waited for him to catch up with her.
"Morning," she said. Inu-Yasha just stared at her coldly.
"Can I have a word with you?" he asked in a voice that would have frozen the equator.
"Um… can it wait? I'm going to be late to work," Kagome said uneasily. What was with him? He was acting so strange.
"Oh… well, I'm sure you can call in sick."
"I guess I could. Is it really that important?" Kagome asked, utterly confused.
"Yes it is," Inu-Yasha said in that same cold voice.
"Uh, okay."
"Good. You can call from my apartment."
And with that, Inu-Yasha grabbed her roughly by the arm and dragged her toward the elevators. Once inside, Kagome wrenched her arm out of his grip.
"What is wrong with you?" she yelled at him. "Did I do something wrong?"
Inu-Yasha just stared at her with an expressionless mask covering his face.
Kagome was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Why did she all of a sudden feel like she was trapped? She started to make escape routes in her head and it frightened her. Why did she feel like she had been caught and needed to know all the possible exits? What was wrong with her?!
The elevator pinged as the doors opened. Inu-Yasha pushed Kagome out of the elevator and into his apartment non-too gently.
"Go ahead and call the diner," Inu-Yasha said as he handed her the cordless phone. Kagome quickly dialed the number. The phone rang for a few seconds before Rin picked up.
"Hey, Rin, It's Kagome."
"Hey Kag! Where are you?"
"I'm sick today. I'm sorry to call on such short notice, but I didn't think I'd be too sick to work until a minute ago."
"It's okay. I hope you feel better."
"Thanks, Rin. Bye."
"Bye babe."
"There. Happy?" Kagome asked angrily. "I'm not going to work so you can tell me what the hell is wrong!"
"Touché," said an amused voice behind her.
Kagome whipped around and landed in a fighting stance, her muscles coils waiting to spring loose.
"Who the hell are you?!" she yelled at the stranger. Her instincts were taking over and they told her that she was in deep shit.
"My, my. Spirited, isn't she, Inu-Yasha? Forgive me. My name is Sesshomaru. I'm Inu-Yasha's brother and superior.
