A Vacation to Remember

**

*

Kagome stretched her arms over her head as she strolled through the lobby, heading back to her hotel room. Her evening had been exciting and she had met several new people. She had been acquainted to several of the maids and servants and quickly became fond of a elderly chef by the name of Kaede. However, her meeting with Miroku went less then smooth.

A dark scowl formed on her lips as she balked at the memory.

She should have listened to Sango's advice....

..It would have saved him the pain and her the embarrassment.

As soon as introductions were made he had taken her hands in his and asked 'please bear my child...' because in six months he was 'supposedly' going to die from some chronic disease and he needed someone to continue his family line. If that wasn't enough for her to turn as red as a tomato, the man had a problem with wandering hands and they somehow found a way to her backside soon after.

Which is the reason he is currently stuffed in to a broom closet with possible brain damage.

The audacity of some men...

They made Houjo, a boy in love with her since middle school but was as dense as a rock, look like a saint.

Well... even more so, anyway.

Soon after that meeting, they had run into Sango's famed boss, one Kikyou Sarugi, whom was a strictler on rules and protocol, but seemed rather nice otherwise... When she wasn't threatening you.

Kagome slipped the card through the lock and stepped inside her room before kicking the door shut.

She bent down and started untying her shoelaces as she stole a glance at the digital clock beside the bed.

It read 8:30 p.m.

Finally undoing the stubborn knot, the teenage took off her shoes before flopping unceremoniously on to the couch face first, heaving a resigned sigh.

It was starting to get to late, and her 'roommate' had yet to show. She could always go down and talk with Sango and the others again but they were probably all busy since it was a little after dinnertime.

She didn't want to go to bed yet, but all she could do was read her books hidden in her knapsack.

Realizing there wasn't anything to do, she turned on to her back and closed her eyes letting her mind wander idly.

She began thinking about her friends, family, what college would be like, her happiness at being excepted to Tokyo University, her mysterious roommate, her joys, her fears......

When she had been putting clothes away earlier she had seen masculine clothes put neatly folded or hanged in the racks. The clothing seemed to fit a slightly tall and well built guy, although she wondered it he was a neat freak.

If he was, they might have some problems.

Although her mind, in its own mysterious and uncanny way, began forming a mental fantasy of what he would be like.

He'd be tall and handsome... and kind. Like the princes from her old fairytale stories. Lean and strong, but gentle in his own way. He would be shocked at first, seeing such a amazing smart girl as herself before him, asking nothing more then returned love. At hearing this, he'd rush forward and embrace her whispering sweet words of his love and promises while sending butterfly kisses down her neck, promising he'd never leave her. He sweep her off her feet, like any epitome of the male persona would, and carry her off in to the moonlight all while sliding a beautiful ring on her finger, a item forever bonding them together, in a romantic proposal. They would then live the rest of their lives together and have many children and grandchildren. She'd then turn to look at him, withered and old, there love still strong in each others eyes, then---------

Kagome opened her eyes and blinked several times clearing the images from her head.

A blush stained her cheeks as she pushed herself in to a sitting position.

Shaking her head dramatically, she muttered under her breath,

"I haven't even met the guy and I'm having fantasies about him...!"

Taking in her surrounding she saw everything to be bathed in darkness.

How long she had just lied there thinking?

Standing on unsteady feet, Kagome stumbled to the bathroom. Pulling on her pajamas, she took care of all her other business before walking towards the bed.

Pulling the covers back, she climbed inside while turning off the lamp bolted to the wall. Snuggling in to the soft pillows a contented smile graced her already fast asleep features.

Ahh... the joys of life.

Sesshoumaru pushed the plaza doors open as he languidly loosened the tie around his neck. The business meeting with the other company for a merger had gone better then expected so barely any paperwork filled the brown briefcase in his hand. As soon as both sides were approved it would be finished. After four long weeks, this would be the first one he'd get a good night sleep. The anticipation to finally have this deal sealed was looming temptingly over his head. So close, he could almost feel it within his grasp.

A evil grin slid upon his lips as he reminded himself that after the takeover was completed, he should relax before heading back to work as reward for a job well done.

The elevator doors slid open before him as he stepped inside. Pressing the button that would take him to the fourth floor he leaned against the wall and watched the doors start to close as a frantic plaza employee rushed towards him.

"Mister Taiyoukai! I have to tell you something concerning your r---!!!" She called.

"It can wait until tomorrow." He commanded as the doors snapped shut as the elevator jolted with movement.

The girl slumped against the wall and cursed.

She had worked Yume's shift so she could wait to tell Sesshoumaru-sama about Miss Higurashi's new residence within his room..

But the bastard blew her off.

Huffing angrily she stomped back to the desk and greeted new guests to the plaza through clenched teeth.

He was sure in for a surprise...!

Sesshoumaru withdrew his card from the lock and stepped in to his room for the past week. Not bothering to turn on a light, he navigated himself to the counter where the microwave lay and set his briefcase upon it. Proceeding on, he removed his jacket while starting to unbutton his crisp white shirt underneath. Sliding it easily off, the businessman folded it away to ask the maids to pick up later.

Ignoring his protesting stomach, for he had skipped dinner, he moved quietly across the floors to the living area of the room. Settling in to the large bed, worth the cost by itself, he pulled the covers over his bare chest while placing his hands underneath his head. Closing his eyes, he deemed himself worthy of a good night's rest while soon becoming all to oblivious to the comforting heat snuggling in to his side.
