Chapter 8
The next few days fly by. Inuyasha is too obsessed with Kikyou, he hasn't gotten around to back Kouga off from Kagome. Mean while, Kagome is surrounded by Kouga and his adorable gifts, colorful flowers. She's grew to like him somehow, though she hardly has anytime for herself and Inuyasha anymore.
"Inuyasha, are you home?" Kagome asks, finally, today Kouga has to attend a meeting with his father, which means Kagome is "off duty".
"Inuyasha?" She yells upstairs.
"Hi, Kagome, he's not home, he's out with Kikyou." Kagome turns at the voice, it's Sesshoumaru, sitting on the couch reading something.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome hasn't seen him in days, thanks to a certain rich kid. "How are your job interviews going?" Kagome says as she sits down next to him.
"Just hard to choose, I've gotten a head ache over it." Sesshoumaru smiles warmly. "Lemonade?"
"No, thanks. Inuyasha sure is busy, isn't he?" Kagome misses her dear old friend a whole lot.
"Yeah, I heard you are both pretty engaged with your own things." Sesshoumaru puts down the book gently, pours himself another glass of lemonade.
Kagome blushes a little at the fact that Sesshoumaru knows about her and Kouga, like she would if she's talking to her own brother.
"Kouga is really great, but I never get to see Inuyasha or do anything I like anymore." Kagome says in a low voice, she really doesn't know what to think of Kouga.
"Well, why don't I take you to the movies tonight, you like that, don't you?" Seeing Kagome is a little upset, Sesshoumaru offers.
"I would love that!" Kagome exclaims. Kouga takes her to fancy restaurants, or operas and that sorts, but never movies, he thinks they are for kids.
Without saying anymore, the two of them get out the house and drive straight to the theatre.
"So what would you like to see?" Sesshoumaru asks with his hands full of popcorns and sodas.
"Ummmm.. How about this one?" Kagome points to an American romance movie as she helps Sesshoumaru with the food. "Or is that too soft for you?" All the guys she knows, including Inuyasha, would never watch anything like that.
"Nah, it's ok, I want you to have fun." Sesshoumaru says as they walk into the theatre.
The theater is already full of people, American movies always have watchers. Sesshoumaru finds them two seats, and settle down the bunch of food they just bought.
"I haven't been into a theater for days now, this feels so good." Kagome whispers to Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru chuckles at the innocent little girl he's known for so long, she's always full of cheer and spirit.
The movie starts in a few minutes, when the figure of a famous star appears on the screen, the theater cheers.
Sesshoumaru is watching Kagome from the corner of his eyes, she's chewing a mouthful of popcorns, and trying to cheer with the others at the same time, obviously she is choking herself a bit, Sesshoumaru can't stop himself from noticing how pretty she is despite the darkness in the theater. He has not much interest in the movie itself, the only reason he agrees to watch it is because Kagome wants to see it.
The movie unfolds slowly, like other Hollywood romance movies. The young girl watches it with interest, while Sesshoumaru watches her with the same interest.
An hour or so passes by, the main characters are being torn apart, and all the teenage girls' eyes are full of ears.
"Oh, how can he leave her just like that!" Kagome says wiping the tears off her face with the back of her hands.
Sesshoumaru smiles and hands Kagome a handkerchief.
Without knowing, Kagome is leaning on Sesshoumaru 's strong shoulder, and wetting the handkerchief with tears.
Sesshoumaru is a little surprised by Kagome, but he doesn't want to push her away. She feels so warm, makes him want to circle his arms around her, and pull her closer. But he knows that he can't, that will spoil everything..for both of them..
What he doesn't know is that Kagome isn't watching the movie anymore, she feels the warmth of his body, she feels like she wants to snuggle up to him, to share the warmth, and feel his arms around her.
As both of them are so engaged in their own thoughts, minutes passed by, with a deep and passionate kiss, the movie is already over. The lights shot open, people start to leave, but they are still sitting there, pretending to watch the movie.
Slowly, they turn toward each other, before they know it, they are engaged in a kiss, a confusing yet pleasant kiss, with their arms around each other, unable to pull out.
It's not before thirty seconds that Kagome pulls away and pants heavily.
'No, it's wrong, I can't do this.' Kagome thinks silently, "What am I doing? He's a mature adult, I'm just a high school kid, he's just playing with me.'
Sesshoumaru didn't know why he kissed her, but as she pulls away, everything becomes clear, she probably thinks that he's crazy and pathetic, his eyes pain as he thinks about this.
'That's right, she has a millionaire boyfriend, why would she want me.' Without saying a word, both of them stand up, and walk out to the car in silence.
