Chapter 5
Sesshomaru rolled over still asleep in his bed. Feeling a very uneasy feeling as if something was staring at him, he slowly opened his tired eyes.
There in front of him was a pair of baby blue sad dog eyes. Letting his eyes adjust to the dark room; he found that the eyes belonged to a pointed eared dog, and a white large one at that.
Sighing, he sat up on his bed, patting the place next to him in a silent gesture that the dog was allowed on his bed. He watched as the large white haired dog jumped on the bed, causing it to dip from the weight, and making himself comfortable nest to his new master. Letting his large head fall on to his black silk boxer covered lap.
Looking at the dog's electric blue collar from a nametag, he was interrupted in his search by a soft knock at his door.
Giving a tired grunt the door opened.
"Are you descent?" Jinx asked, her head lightly resting against the slightly opened door.
Looking down at himself he was only wearing a pair boxers'. "Yeah" he called back; he figured that was descent enough.
Jinx opened the door all the way, and leaned against the doorframe. "His name is Butch" Jinx said watching as he petted the dog.
"What's he doing in my room?" he asked, looking up at her when she pushed of the door frame, shutting the door behind her with her foot, she figured since he was still in hid boxers' that he might want so privacy she walked over to the bed plopped down next to him.
"I gave him to you" Jinx smiled also petting the now in heaven dog.
"Thanks" he said, rubbing the dogs pointed ears, never once letting his emotionless makes disappear.
"You know, I wont tell any one if you smile" Jinx teased, playfully hitting him in the arm.
He looked up at her. She noticed something in his eyes, but couldn't put her finger on it.
They just sat there for a while, staring at each other. Then he began to lean into her.
"Uh" Jinx said, getting slightly uncomfortable under his gaze. "I think I better get going" she smiled as she got up off of his bed, the bed that he warmed up in his sleep. "I have to go back to my second half of art class, I just came home to drop off the new dogs" she said bending down to pet Butch, laughing nervously as she began to back towards the door rubbing the back of her neck.
She quickly turned around and opened the door as fast and graceful as she could. But being Jinx that was nearly impossible, she fumbled with the door handle for a bit, looking back behind her, and laughing. When all she wanted to do was get out and away from his heated gaze.
Finally getting the door open, she made a beeline for her room. Leaving the door swinging back and fourth in her wake.
Loud 'thuds' rang though the whole art class, making all the now entering students look to the back of the class. They were not at all surprised to see the class nut pounding her blue bandana head against her assigned table.
"thud Stupid, thud Stupid thud Stupid thud" Jinx chanted, pounding her head against the table of her art class. Wearing a pair of black baggy paint splattered jeans and a white wife beater, with a dark red flannel over it, he black flip flopped feet resting on the empty stool in front of the table in front of her.
"Jinx, what are you doing?" Her best friend Cindy asked, sitting in the set next to her.
"I'm thud pounding thud my thud head thud against thud the thud table.thud" Jinx said, stating the obvious.
"I can see that, but why?" Cindy said, stopping her friends head in mid pound on the hard wooden table.
Looking over at her best friend's kind face, the only other best friends she had other than Tennyo, she sighed. She new that telling her about what happened would make her feel ten times better then what she did now.
She and Cindy had known each other as long as they have both been going to college, they were the two that sat in the back of class a made fun of every body. Cindy may have been older than her, but to Jinx that was not an issue, she had a good time with her, they were best friends and that is all that mattered to Jinx. They had fun, they comforted each other when needed, and they were both out casts.
"You remember me telling you about the new roommates Tennyo and I got?" she said, making them sound like they were toys to her.
"Yeah" Cindy said, letting go of Jinx's head, sitting back in her stool getting in to a more comfortable sitting position. Wearing a pair of denim, paint splattered, Carpenters jeans and a worn out dark pink also paint splattered shirt. Her kind eyes signaling to Jinx that she was now comfortable and listening.
"Ok, so I got Sesshy a dog..."
"How many did you bring home this time?" Cindy had to know, she knew her friend had a soft heart, but fifteen dogs, geesh that was a lot.
"Four, but anyways, I brought home these dogs and his brother Yasha, said that maybe we should put one in his room." She said trying to remember. "So we did and I stood at the door way waiting for him to wake up while Tennyo and Yasha stood at the end of the hall waiting to hear him scream."
Cindy laughed, "That sounds like something you would do."
"So when we didn't hear a scream I knocked on the door, he let me in when he was only wearing these sexy, oh so hot black silk boxers." Jinx said gesturing with her hands the imaginary cures of her well-toned ass, making Cindy laugh again.
"He thanked me for the dog, and I swear to god Cindy he was leaning into kiss me"
"What did you do?" she asked, knowing full well that she probably made a run for it.
Jinx lightly blushed. "I bolted" she said quietly
"Jinx, Jinx, Jinx, Jinx, what are we going to do with you?"' she said, shaking her head.
"I thud don't thud know thud"
Sesshomaru walked into the hall outside his door, He didn't like the quite of his room, so he decided to go into the living room hoping that there was at least something on TV, wearing only a pair of grey worn out pajama pants, his hair down and flowing freely down his back, with his favorite book tucked underneath his arm and his new dog butch following on his heels.
Walking into the living room he noticed Jinx sitting crossed legged on the floor with her back resting on the couch behind her eating a small bowl of mac-n-chesse, in front of her laptop, which rested on the coffee table. She looked to be concentrating really hard on whatever was on that screen and what looked to be surrounded by ten sleeping very fat dogs. Wearing a white wife beater, and a pair of dark blue silk boxers, that looked suspiciously like his, with her glasses on top of her head.
"Hey Sesshy, borrowed a pair of your boxers, you don't mind do you? I hadn't had a chance to do my laundry this week" she said
Shaking his head, he walked over to the couch she was leaning against it, and laid down behind her, and opened his book and began to read, Butch plopped down and joined the other sleeping dogs surrounding Jinx.
"Want some?" Jinx asked turning around and offering a spoon full of cheese covered noodles.
"Sure" he said, as he opened his mouth. She slowly put the spoon in his mouth like you would baby, afraid she would hurt him, and watched as he bit down. Pulling the spoon from his mouth she turned back around and began to concentrate again on her computer screen, and eat the rest of her favorite food.
They sat in silence for a few more minutes both liking the others company, but still not liking the silence.
Reaching down Sesshomaru toke the spoon from Jinx just about the time when she was going to take a bit.
"Hey" Jinx pouted as she turned around to watch him eat her bite of food "that's mine."
"Not anymore" he said as he took the bowl out of her lap and began to eat the rest
"Fine see if I care!" she said a she turned back around and squinted at her screen.
"You know you do have glasses right?" he asked still eating her food.
"Yeah, but I don't know where they are?" she said trying her hardest to see what was on the screen, then all the sudden she could she. "What the hell?" she said as she reached up and found her glasses on her face.
"They were on top of your head." He said finishing the last bite and put the bowl on the coffee table.
Jinx took off her glasses, and turned around to jump on him, he let out a loud 'oaf' when she landed on his chest and straddled his hips. "Asshole" she said as he put his book on the floor, not once bothering the eleven dogs sleeping on the floor.
"I'm not the one who had her glasses on top of her head" he said lifting a delicate dark eyebrow, as an evil smirk spread across his emotionless face, and he began to tickle her sides.
She fell forward on his chest, giggling and trying to protect her sides. "Stop...Stop" she said in between giggles against his hard chest.
"What do I get out of it if I do?" he asked still tickling the out of breath girl on his chest.
"I'll...make...you ......mac-n-cheese...when. ...ever....you ...want it" She said laughing out of breath, still trying to protect her sides.
"Alright" he said as he stopped, but wrapped his arms around her still laughing form, and she did the same to him, resting her head on his chest as he rested his chin on top of her head.
They laid there in each other's arms for what seemed like forever, listening to each others comforting rhythmic breathing.
"Sesshy" Jinx called out when she felt his breathing go steady underneath her. "Sesshy" she called out again when she got no answer.
Lifting her head up she found the cutest thing she had ever seen in a very long time. He was asleep!
Quietly untangling her from his warm embrace, she sighed sadly when she missed it. Getting up off of him quickly, not to disturb him, she wasn't tired in the least bit or she would have just laid there and also fell asleep on his warm naked flesh.
Grabbing he favorite blanket from the back of the chair next to the soft, she lightly draped in on him. She smiled when he stirred slightly in his peaceful sleep.
Sighing yet again, she tiptoed over to him. Bending down she laid a gentle warm kiss on his forehead, whispering a goodnight to him in German.
Standing back up she began to walk away, she grabbed her laptop and newly found glasses on the coffee table. She patted her rear. All the dogs but one in the room jumped up and followed closely behind her.
As she was about to turn the corner to the hallway that they all shared there rooms in. she smiled at Butch when he jumped up on the couch, making him self comfortable at his masters feet.
As she rounded the corner she whispered one word
"Süß" and then she disappeared with her ten dogs down the hall.
