Sesshoumaru woke up at nine in the morning and looked around. He smiled to himself as he watched the sun make different patterns through the curtains. He heard the door open a crack and looked over to see Kagome peeking in to see if he was awake. She didn't seem to notice he was so he sat up. She opened the door all the way and closed it behind her. "Mind if I hide out in here for a little. Jii-chan got here today and he's been trying to give me a history lesson ever since."
Sesshoumaru smiled and nodded. He patted a spot on the bed and moved over a little. Kagome plopped down and leaned against the headboard. "Sleep well?" She asked. Sesshoumaru nodded again. "Better than ever." In truth he'd dreamed of her that night. He'd dreamed of her protecting him, kissing him, and so many different things that he felt dizzy. He knew he couldn't tell her so decided to just forget the dream. The problem was, anytime he even thought of Kagome the dreams popped up. He wondered if it was love, or maybe they were soul mates. Whatever it was he was dreaming about her.
Kagome smiled as she thought of her own dreams. Sesshoumaru trying to protect her from Yugasagi, him kissing her gently. She ignored them but found it hard when she was sitting right next to him. "So... What do you want to do today?" Sesshoumaru shrugged. "I was wondering if we could go out to the forest and do some hiking." Kagome brightened. "Great idea. I love to hike." Sesshoumaru smiled and pushed the covers back so he could climb out of the bed. Kagome disappeared and came back in her own hiking gear. Sesshoumaru grabbed his keys and they went to the forest on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Sesshoumaru pulled off on an access road that led deeper into the forest. He finally pulled over and the two climbed out and headed into the woods. There wasn't much talking as they worked their way through the tangles of trees and bramble. Hours passed like seconds, and the sky dimmed slightly. Kagome glanced up and called to Sesshoumaru for him to stop. "Hey Sesshoumaru!! It's about to rain. We need to find shelter for the moment." Sesshoumaru nodded and looked from the sky to the trees. He glanced around him when a hollowed out tree seemed to spring to the eye. He grabbed Kagome's arm and led her to it as a bolt of lightening and clash of thunder passed overhead. The rain had only started to drop when they got inside the hollow tree, which was just big enough for the two to sit comfortably next to each other.
A few minutes passed and they simply watched the rain. Up to fifteen minutes passed in silence before Kagome started to shiver. Sesshoumaru noticed and placed his arm around her shoulder, drawing her closer to him than before. She smiled slightly and thanked him but they continued into the silence that only the pouring rain seemed to be able to fill.
Sesshoumaru glanced down at Kagome and saw that her lips were turning blue from the cold. She looked back at him and he smiled. "Your lips are blue." Kagome smiled too. "I figured they would be." Sesshoumaru nodded and watched Kagome for a few minutes. She finally looked at him again and said, "What?" Sesshoumaru shook his head. ~Why do I have this incredible urge to kiss her all of the sudden?~
Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru blushed and looked away, only looking back at her when he realized she'd been staring at him. He slowly leaned down and placed his lips on hers. Both pulled back in surprise and looked at each other like they'd just met. "Um...er....I'm sorry Kag..." Sesshoumaru's apology was muffled by Kagome replacing her lips on his, their coldness making him shiver. He just let himself feel her soft lips for a moment, then he slowly slid his tongue into her mouth. Her tongue mingled with his as they kissed, making it more passionate, more intimate, than before. Slowly they pulled away again and Kagome was a bright red. She smiled slightly before Sesshoumaru kissed her again.
The rain slowed finally, and then it stopped. Sesshoumaru and Kagome made their way back to Sesshoumaru's car, which they'd had the foresight to put the top on. Sesshoumaru drove back to the shrine and the two made their way up the stairs to the house. They went their separate ways for a few hours so as to think on what the day had brought out. Sesshoumaru knocked on Kagome's door tentatively somewhere around eleven. She opened it and smiled, blushing for what seemed like the thousandth time that day. Sesshoumaru closed the door behind him and they both stood there for a few seconds, wondering what they were supposed to say or do. Finally he broke the uneasy silence. "About this afternoon.... Kagome...." Kagome held her hand up with a small smile. "We kissed. I don't know about you, but it was special for me."
"It was special for me too.... I guess this means we're going out..." Both teenagers broke out laughing. They spent the rest of the night talking and laughing and finally they got a few hours sleep.
~*~*~*~*~
It was nearly seven on Sunday evening and Sesshoumaru and Kagome were with everybody. Kikyou was shooting evil glares at Kagome constantly and everyone seemed to be avoiding her, including Inuyasha. An hour into their clubbing trip Kikyou and Inuyasha were seen talking privately, and Kikyou was then seen running away from Inuyasha angrily with tears on her cheeks. Kagome smiled to herself. The bitch deserved it.
After the event with Kikyou the rest of the night went by pretty uneventful. Kagome and Sesshoumaru told everyone they were finally going out, and everyone seemed pleased enough that Sesshoumaru had finally hooked up with someone.
Sesshoumaru went back to Kagome's and was about to pull out when Kagome got his attention. "The weekend's not over you baka. It won't be over until tomorrow morning so you have to stay one more night." Sesshoumaru smiled, knowing that Kagome was only prolonging his beatings for him. They went inside, and were talking about Yugasagi of all things.
"Sesshoumaru.... Just call DHS on him right here. He'll never know you did it until it's too late and he can't kill your mom. You can't let this stuff continue until you graduate. Like you said to me, what would happen if we found you beaten to death or beaten to the point of almost being dead?" Sesshoumaru sighed. "I just don't want to test that particular trigger. If he even suspected that I'd called DHS he'd kill her." Kagome rolled her eyes but gave in. "Alright. We better go on to bed since we've got school tomorrow."Glancing at the now bruise on her cheek, Sesshoumaru nodded and left Kagome's room. He lay in their guest bed for a while, staring at the ceiling and thinking about Kagome, thinking of how she endured everything he did. He smiled to himself and drifted into an easy sleep.
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and Sesshoumaru got to the school in pretty good moods. He'd had the brilliant idea of locking himself and his mother in his room with his phone and calling DHS that evening. Kagome approved and they decided to tell Mrs. Higurashi about Yugasagi. She understood completely and promised to help in any way she could. The two had actually been able to sleep until around six without having to worry about the other. They arrived at the school along with quite a few other people from their group of friends.
Soon they were going to their classes and the end of school was coming all too soon for Sesshoumaru. Kagome watched him with worried glances as he took her home. He was about to drop her off when she spoke. "Take me with you. I can help you distract him and I know a lot of tricks. You must remember I met him before you did." Sesshoumaru shook his head. "I can't put you in danger." Kagome shook her head. "It's my choice, therefore I'm putting myself in danger." Sesshoumaru sighed and nodded. "Alright."
As they pulled into Sesshoumaru's driveway Kagome gasped at the sight of the house. It looked like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the windows, walls, and doors. Knowing Yugasagi it probably had. They stepped up to the threshold quietly. The door swung open without even the slightest touch. Both teenagers gasped at what they saw......
