Chapter 7
Only 3 comments. ;.; Guess I can't be too suprised. I WAS gone for a pretty long time. But, even if only 3 people are reading this story, it's better than none. So I'll update. Kag/Sessh fluff here. And I got a review, worrying that after this chapter there would be no more Kag/Sessh fluff. Don't worry, my friend!! There will be more! Maybe, if you're lucky and continue to review, much more!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I OWNED Kikyou, yes. I loved her. But she was evil. Scared the neighbors, killed my puppies, hid the remote... real sick shit.

That morning, Kagome awoke with a hiss as the sun hit her directly in the face. Sunshine killed. She rolled over in her futon, covering her head with her hands. She hadn't even realized how late she'd stayed up last night. She hadn't gone to bed until a few hours before morning. No wonder she was still tired...
After she and Inuyasha had talked, they'd fallen into silence and layed there for a moment before Inuyasha had told her he was going to bed.
"It's late," he had said. Softly, almost hesitantly. "I'm going inside. To sleep. You coming?"
"Yeah." She had replied, suprised by how calm her voice was compared to his. They'd gone inside, said good night and headed off. She had heard he and Sesshoumaru whispering amongst each other in their room. Suprisingly, their voices were relaxing and she fell asleep while trying to hear what they were saying.
*More choosing a mate today...* She thought to herself, arms still shielding her face from the deadly sun. *More men will come... Oh, yipee...* Suddenly, she wasn't so enthusiastic about mating anymore. She sighed and closed her eyes in hopes of falling asleep again. She didn't care how late in the day it was. She was tired...
Someone opened the door.
"Wake up, Kagome."
Kagome groaned, hiding her face more. Sesshoumaru. And most likely, Inuyasha was with him. She rolled onto her stomach, burying her face in her pillow with a smothered 'go away'. They ignored her and Inuyasha proceeded to pull the covers of her futon back. She whined and attempted to snatch it back, only to have her pillow taken. So, she pulled herself into a ball; a final act of resistance.
"Come on, Kagome. Father says you have to get up." That was Inuyasha.
She made a sound of refusal and pulled herself even more into a ball. She stayed like this for a moment, and was not touched and for a moment, she figured they had left to get Inutachi. Until she felt hands on her sides, attempting to pull her up. She squealed and waved her arms, attempting to cling to her bare futon, eyes closed tightly.
"Come now, Kagome. Father says you have to get up." Sesshoumaru. He was the one holding her. Why were they so insistant.
"I'm tired!" She wailed. "Ask Inuyasha! I was up half of the night!"
"We know!" Inuyasha cried, frustrated. "I'm tired too, okay? But Father says you HAVE to get up. There are men here to see you!"
"I'm not going to pick any of them anyway! What does it matter-- Eek! Sesshoumaru! Put me down! Inuyasha! Stop!"
By now, Sesshoumaru was holding one end of her, while Inuyasha held the other as they dragged her out of her room, while she wailed. They carried her to the dining room, where Inutachi and Inuyasha's mother sat, Inutachi's brow quirked.
"Trouble, boys?"
They finally set her down in a chair and she slumped forward, groaning. Inuyasha's mother smiled sympathetically. "Inutachi-sama-aa- aaaa..."
"Kagome, you KNEW you'd have to get up early today. You have men here to see you. You shouldn't of stayed up so late. Here. Eat your breakfast. And don't look like that. Stop glaring at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru."
Kagome turned away from the two brothers, doing as she was told, starting to eat half-heartedly.
"Now, Kagome.." Inutachi placed his hands in his lap. "Many men came here today. Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Myself have already waved off a good number of them. There are only a few left. I want you to go out and meet them after you eat and get dressed. I'll give you a short time to relax before you go out and see them. And please stop looking like I've just ordered you to go and cut your own hand off. You were so enthusiastic about this. Stop switching back and forth. And STOP looking like that."
Kagome gave up her 'how can you DO this to me' face and sighed, going back to eating. She heard Inuyasha snicker and turned to glare daggers at him. He wised up and got a neutral expression that looked so much like Sesshoumaru's that it scared her. She turned back to her food and started eating.
This sucked ass.

"Four days behind..."
Miroku blinked. "Nani?"
Kikyou did not turned to face him. "Four days behind. We're four days off schedule."
Miroku tensed. He had felt this coming. Kikyou was peeved. "Ah..." He smiled weakly. "Lady Kikyou... Gomen nasai. I've been holding us up--"
"Damn right you have!" She turned to face him and her eyes flickered dangerously. "Four days behind! Because you'd rather flirt with women and be a pain in my ass than do what I hired you to do! You can keep your ridiculous antics and motives! You are here-by now relieved of your duties! GOOD BYE!"
Now, Kikyou was not one to raise her voice to loud. Miroku, in his short time of knowing her, had learned this. He shrank back. "L--lady Kikyou! I--I apologize! I solemnly swear to--"
He didn't get a chance to finish before she cut him off. "I don't want to hear it! Off with you! I've had it with you! I don't WANT your help!!" And she turned, before he could say anything, stomping off.
He couldn't let her get away! This was his chance for something really good! He ran after her. "Lady Kikyou! Lady Kikyou, onegai! Gomen nasai, gomen nasai!"

"Inuyasha tells me he had a talk with you last night."
Kagome looked up, suprised, seeing Sesshoumaru. She hadn't even known he was there, as she had been staring at the ground, deep in thought, taking the short break Inutachi had given her. "Oh? Yes, I did."
Sesshoumaru nodded. "And he told you of what we thought about all of this."
"Yes."
"Ah."
There was a pause and Kagome looked down, finding herself blushing.
["Inuyasha?"
"...uh huh?"
"Do you like me..? Like that..."
".....Aa...."
"And Sesshoumaru?"
"...most likely."]
She suddenly felt shy. She'd never imagined that Sesshoumaru liking her in any way other than a sister. But stranglely, it didn't bother her. She sat up a bit straighter and looked up through her lashes at him. He wasn't looking at her. "Sesshoumaru?"
Now he looked at her. "Hai?"
"Ano..." She looked down. She wasn't sure how to ask...
"Hai."
Kagome looked up at him. "Nani?"
"Hai. What Inuyasha said was true. I do have those kinds of feelings toward you."
She didn't know why she was so suprised at how direct he was. He was always like that. She smiled slightly. "I see..." A pause. She felt him open his mouth to speak but cut him off. "It doesn't bother me. Thank you for telling me." She looked back at him and saw him still looking at her. He nodded, face neutral. But she noticed...
His eyes were soft.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Yes, very, very short. No, I'm not kicking out Miroku. Kikyou will re- hire him... Sooner or later. ^^; Aren't I evil? Making them four days behind and whatnot... Kikyou is such good comic relief. But they'll probably come in the chapter after the next. Sorry to dissapoint those who never wanted her to get there. _;
