After a lot of chicken and a lot of talk, Kiara offered that Sesshomaru stay the night. "It's late out and I really don't think it's safe," she said.
"I told you earlier that I can take care of myself," He said defensively but then realized exactly what the girl was getting at. "But it IS late," he added, "I guess I will stay."
"Okay," said Kiara, "The spare bedroom is right in there," she pointed to a doorway.
Sesshomaru looked around. He didn't see any other rooms. "Where do you sleep?"
"In there," Kiara pointed to the same room.
The startled, yet somewhat happy Sesshomaru said, "You, you mean we'll be sleeping in the same room?"
"Yep."
"But in different beds right?"
"Yes, silly. What did you think, that I'd have a stranger stay in my own bed?" She said laughing.
"It could happen..." he turned away, embarrassed.
Kiara walked into her room and closed the door, she mumbled, "Stay out there," to Sesshomaru. She began to undress so she could get ready for bed.
Sesshomaru didn't hear what she had said so he walked up to the door and knocked, "What did you say?"
Kiara had made her way into the bathroom, buck naked, and she put her clothes in the hamper. She left the door open since her bedroom door was closed. She didn't hear Sesshomaru at all.
He knocked again and when there was no answer, he opened the door just a crack. All he could see was the wall. He asked his question again, "What did you say?" But she didn't hear him...She was in the shower. He opened the door a little bit more and asked again. Still no answer. He swung the door wide open and his eyes widened and his face reddened.
Kiara let out a shriek as she stepped out of the shower. "I told you to stay out there!" she yelled.
"That's what I was trying to find out!" He cried, embarrased again.
She quickly wrapped a towel around her naked body. Sesshomaru just stood there dazed. She ushered him out of the room and closed the door, "It's common sense!" She yelled. Then she thought better and opened the door so that he could hear her clearly and repeated her words.
Even with her yelling, which really wasn't meant to be mean, all Sesshomaru could think was 'She must be an angel.'
Kiara came out of her room with a satin nightgown on and Sesshomaru, who was sitting at the table, made a tongue-tied apology at which Kiara couldn't help giggling at. "It's okay, really. I should have known better than to leave my bathroom door open. Who knows, maybe subconscienciously I wanted you to see me," she stopped. There was dead silence as both Kiara and Sesshomaru blushed.
"Well, this night certainly couldn't get any more embarrassing," he said.
"No, it really couldn't."
"Err...I don't mean to sound perverted, but you have a beautiful body," Sesshomaru offered.
"Uh...thanks?" Kiara blushed. "Hey, if you got to see me, I should get to see you!"
He looked at her with suprise as she said that. "I...uh...I..." he stammered.
"It's only fair," she said.
"I suppose you're right," he replied quietly.
"But...that can wait. I'm dead tired. I'm off to bed and it's about time you ought to be too," she said. "But if you want to stay up I have plenty of books you can read."
Sesshomaru nodded and watched Kiara walk into her room. He sat where he was for a while and reflected on everything that had happened since he first heard the girl singing: The chase, the clearing, the house, the dinner, the nakedness. He thought about that part for a while. But not in a perverted way, he just thought her body was wonderful and he so wished he could become one with it. Soon, he got tired and he decided he would go to bed. He opened the door to Kiara's room and crept into the spare bed.
It was a very comfortable bed with soft blankets and silky pillows. He stared into the darkness, trying his best not to look over at Kiara...But soon enough, his eyes wandered over to the sleeping maiden. His last thought before he fell into a deep sleep filled with wonderful dreams was, 'She must be an angel.'
"I told you earlier that I can take care of myself," He said defensively but then realized exactly what the girl was getting at. "But it IS late," he added, "I guess I will stay."
