Kagome hadn't laughed since... since Inuyasha stopped talking to her. He avoided her all the time, and tonight she was going to his house... No, she was going to Sesshoumaru's house, because she was going to see him, not Inuyasha ... right?

He locked himself in his room. She was coming to his house thanks to his brother. "Keh." 'That asshole.' He didn't care anymore. She was happy... and who cares?! His heart had been broken into little, little, liiiittle pieces. That was the point.

Chapter 16: My Lips for You

"I'm glad you came, Kagome. I was going to pick you up but some business came and-"

She hushed him, waving her hand and smiling... Well, I think we can call that a smile. "Don't worry. It's alright. I like to walk."

He took her hand in his, leading her to the dining room. "Then let's go inside. It's kind of late, so we will go straight for dinner."

"Un." Was he asking if that was fine, or was he saying that they would do it? Still, she nodded.

The house really was big, which explained why he had a Porsche and dressed in so many fancy clothes... 'Now that I think about it,.. he is wearing a pink shirt!' Anyhow, that was weird - the big house and that stuff, not the pink shirt.. even though it still is weird -Inuyasha had an old skateboard, and the clothes he had were, like a punk style.. ummm.

'Stop thinking about him!! You are here WITH Sesshoumaru. REMEMBER.'

Both seated themselves at the table. Candles made the atmosphere look romantic... Kagome didn't see it that way though; it was more like the smoke made by the candles was making her cough. The dim lights were there to make everything more intimate; they made Kagome sleepy.

'Why did I say yes?!'

:: Ring Ring :: (that's a cellphone ringing, not a doorbell, k?)

Sesshoumaru picked up his cellphone from a little table that was in the lobby, leaving Kagome in the dining room. Kagome heard little pieces of the conversation like, "I leave it all done" and "I can't believe you idiots!" and the most important part was "I'm going right now."

Moments later he entered the room with a very serious face. My god, she didn't know that face. It was kind of scary.

"My apologies, Kagome, but something came up at work and I have to go, but stay here. I'll come in half an hour or so."

"Okay, I'll wait."

By the time Sesshoumaru left it was already ten o'clock. "I get to see my TV show!" Kagome ran to the TV, but on the way she passed some stairs that lead to the second floor. Loud music was coming from there... she knew that kind of music. Inuyasha had shown her it once when they were at the mall..

§§ Flashback §§

"Soooo.. Why am I here with you at the mall?" Kagome asked while she was walking with Inuyasha at her side.

"'Cause I saw your CD's and all of them suck. How can you listen to those bitches, Aguilera and Britney, and those guys from boy bands. I have to do something with you." He grinned but still, all of the things he said were serious; some sense in music was what she needed.

"Their lyrics are good" was the only argument she thought of for her defense.

"Well, I know music with good lyrics and with good rhythm."

Both got inside a CD store and went to the backside.

"I don't think we'll find any good CD's in this part of the store."

"That's where you are wrong, girl. Here is where the best music is."

He showed the CD's from Unwritten Law, the All-American Rejects, Starting Line, Bowling For Soup, The Sounds, and the list goes on.

"And listen to this song." He took his CD player and put in a CD he had bought (they are already out of the store by now). The song he played was 'Mean Girl' from Unwritten Law.

"Ya know, like three years ago, I dedicated this song to a girl." -She flinched a little at his words- "That bitch cheated on me. That time, I remember being so mad that I locked myself in my room and put the volume up all the way, playing the song over and over again." He chuckled to himself. After realizing that Kagome was staring at him, he blushed a little.

"But I wasn't in love with her. I was just mad because she played with me. That's something I'll never forgive."

§§ End Flashback §§

He was in his room, and now that she thought about it, that same song had repeated like six times... He was pissed off with someone. 'Who could that someone be?' She slapped herself for the stupid question.

She knocked, but nobody answered, she peeked inside and saw Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was on his bed, staring at nothing, maybe at the ceiling but I don't think that was entertaining. He looked at her, but paid no attention, and continued to look at the ceiling.

"Umm.. what are you listening to?" She already knew, but don't blame her for trying to start a conversation.

"You already know. Don't play the dumb with me."

Kagome sat beside him on his bed. He flinched from feeling her near him, but he closed his eyes. He wouldn't show her how much he wanted to kiss her.. He couldn't.

Both stayed still in the same spot only listening to the lyrics.

Bum luck will you ever know

I'm not in love with you

A nice girl flown around in pretty girl limbo

I'm not in love with you

Not a mean bone in her body I said

I'm not in love with you

I love her like a bullet to the back of the head

I'm not in love with you

I'm in love with mean girl

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with

I'm in love with mean girl

I'm in love with you

I'm in love

Lookin' like a school girl dressed to kill

I'm not in love with you

A pretty girl dress would make a mean girl ill

I'm not in love with you

Like Jon Bonham locked to a doctor beat

I'm not in love with you

I need a mean girl to knock me off my feet

I'm not in love with you

"I-Inuyasha, do you really feel that way? 'Cause I-"

He stood up and looked at her before leaving the room.

Everything was becoming clearer with the time, what she felt for Sesshoumaru was..

By the time she was going downstairs, Sesshoumaru was waiting for her.

"Where did you go?"

"Umm, I went to the bathroom." She couldn't say, 'I was with your brother, the one I was dating before, remember?'

"The dinner will have to wait. I'll take you home. It's already late."

"Hai."

The ride was silent. Kagome was lost in her thoughts, and Sesshoumaru kept that cold face of his. At times he took glances at Kagome with only one thought in mind.

'There's no bathroom on the second floor, only Inuyasha's room and the other two rooms for his instruments and videogames.' (Alright they are really rich. Get it, got it, ok)

They were standing at the front door. Kagome was almost inside before he took her in a little too close to embrace for her comfort.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" He was coming closer to her face, more particularly, his lips were coming closer to hers.

'Kami, don't let this happen. Onegai, I don't want to! I don't want to kiss him! The only person I'll ever be able to kiss is... Inuyasha.'

She widened her eyes and punched Sesshoumaru in the stomach, blowing his air off.

He coughed several times before realizing what had happened. By that time Kagome was already inside her room repeating to herself that she loved Inuyasha.

But did he still have feelings for her? ...
