'A little Out of Character' because gee I dunno, Fluffy- sama is very very out of character and please don't complain! I know that he would never act like this, but just go along with it! Here's a few reviewer responses cuz I couldn't resist making it!
Anonymous – Err...let I see here...yes I know it's a little ooc but, with it being sess/kag is there even the possibility of sesshy actually being in character? I mean...well that's my opinion. And also the reason why little sesshy is wearing his kimono is cuz he's a little out of style. And this will come into play in later chapters! uh-Kay! I think that's all that needs to be argued with!
Poisonous Delirium – Hey! I think my Canadian would like the shiny stuff and the pocky! Yummy! I want pocky! Er...I mean my Canadian wants the pocky! Yeah...and he wants the shiny stuff too! Here you go my little Canadian; Poisonous Delirium gives you pocky and Shiny stuff!

And it's a lifetime supply! Wooo!! Okay thank you Poisonous Delirium! And I have a humorous story to tell y'all about a raccoon...

I stared in awe at Sesshomaru. My jaw had obviously dropped down to my chin, because Sesshomaru's hand promptly shut it. I shook my head in amazement and my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Sesshomaru's heavy sigh broke me from numerous thoughts that were boggling at my mind and I resisted from shaking my head once again at the demon lord.
"Where are we going to go?" he inquired. I could hint a slight nervousness in the youkai's voice and his eyes constantly wavered over to my face to see my expression. He finally managed to keep his eyes on the road for about a minute until he asked the question once more.
"I don't care Sesshomaru, wherever you want to go." I replied to him. Sesshomaru furrowed his brow rather angrily at me and then somehow managed to force out a smug grin at me. I hesitantly grinned back at him as he pondered for a few moments.
"I was thinking that we could go to that new restaurant on the corner of Zero Drive, what do you say of dining there? I hear that the food is a real delicacy there as well, and that the service is great...what do you think Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked. He sounded somewhat nervous, but I ignored that and simply nodded my head at his recommendation.
"What was the restaurant called again?" I questioned.
"The Poinsettia Cottage." Sesshomaru said. I nodded once again at his comment and glanced out the window.
"Find something that interests you Kagome?" his eyes wondered out the window to see what I had been so caught up in and quickly swerved his way through the traffic so he could enter the flower shop that I was totally mesmerized by.
"Why are we stopping in here?"
"So I can buy you a few flowers...go ahead, pick some that you wish to have." Sesshomaru said and motioned for me to pick some flowers. I smiled up at the demon and began to pick up various flowers and examine them.
"Smell this one!" I exclaimed and shoved a purple pedaled flower underneath Sesshomaru's nose causing him to sneeze and trip slightly before he was able to intake the delicious smell of the flower.
"Interesting..." He commented and literately inhaled the scent of the flower as though it was some type of drug. I slightly giggled at his actions and tucked the flower behind his ear. He didn't seem too happy about it, but crossed his arms angrily showing that he did not enjoy the flower in his ear.
"Stop sulking and hold these please." I said and shoved four flowers in his arms. He glanced down at the flowers, then back at me, and turned away. I was about to stop him, but got distracted by a beautiful bouquet of roses. Smiling, I trotted myself over towards them.
A few moments later I felt a smooth hand gently tap my shoulder. My frail body slightly shook at the touch and I turned around to see Sesshomaru with one hand behind his back and the other one struck in midair. I was about to ask him something, but he beat me to it.
"Kagome...will you accept this from me?" he inquired and pulled out an amazing bouquet of at least twenty flowers. I stood there bemused at the gift and found myself at a loss for words.
I never thought of Sesshomaru being so kind to me. It kind of freaked me out, but none the less it was sweet that he was doing all of this just for me. I smiled up at Sesshomaru and resisted from grabbing him into an emotion filled hug. Instead I offered my hand to take the flowers.
"Yes Sesshomaru, I'll happily accept them." Sesshomaru handed me the flowers and began to escort me out of the shop.
"I've already paid for them." He said as we both approached the door. To my surprise, he opened the door for me and let me exit first. After we both got into the car he began to drive away to the restaurant.
It was too quite on the ride to the restaurant Sesshomaru's constant tapping on the steering wheel had begun to take its toll on me. I closed my eyes in an attempt to block out the noise, but it did not seem to help me very well. I then began to think about being all alone in a field with many flowers blossoming around my feet. I still heard the soft tapping of Sesshomaru's fingers. My eye suddenly twitched and Sesshomaru noticed my action and discontinued his taps.
"We are here." Sesshomaru announced a few minutes later. I peered outside momentarily to see 'Zero Street' planted on a pole. I smiled shortly after I saw the Poinsettia Cottage promptly placed on the corner of Zero Street, just as Sesshomaru had said. Sesshomaru pulled the car on the side of the street and parallel parked.
After I let myself out of the car I admired the outer view of the restaurant. It was painted a red color with beautiful calligraphy etched in gold; bouquets of flowers were guiding into the restaurant and through the gold plated doors. This restaurant had to be expensive, I could tell just by looking on the outside. Sesshomaru courteously lead me into the restaurant and we were greeted by a waiter.
"A table or a booth?" the waiter inquired. Sesshomaru pondered a few moments before making his final decision.
"A booth." He said. "Non-smoking please." The waiter nodded his head and led us through the wonderfully decorated restaurant. There was a huge aquarium filled with a variety of fish, there were chandeliers shining down on us. Everything in The Poinsettia Cottage was so romantic. Even with the candles that were properly lit to se the tone. I resisted from sighing heavily at the beauty in it all and continued to follow Sesshomaru and the waiter deeper into the exquisite restaurant.
"How is this?" the waiter asked and showed us a red and gold booth with wonderful candle light.
"Perfect." Sesshomaru said and sat down in the booth. I promptly sat down next to Sesshomaru and the waiter whipped out his order form.
"What can I get for you today?" he asked.
"For now, may we have drinks? We need some time to think." Sesshomaru said.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Water." Sesshomaru said. The waiter then turned his head towards me as if he was asking me the same question.
"Pepsi." I said.
"We don't have Pepsi, how about Mr. Pibb?"
"That's fine." The waiter nodded his head and jotted down our orders. He left momentarily, leaving Sesshomaru and I alone.
'Say something, say something, say something!' I beckoned myself as we sat in silence. The silence was always deafening around him. It always made me feel nervous and anxious; I was never fond of it at all.
"So Kagome..." Sesshomaru trailed off. I could tell by the tone of his voice that he didn't know of anything to talk about either. He attempted to speak once again and managed to say something once again. "How was school?"
'What a complete moron! He's so NOT romantic!' I inwardly thought and resisted the urge to smack him upside the head, finally I spoke up.
"School was fine...and how was your day?" I said.
"Fine...fine." Sesshomaru said. Once again we were sitting in silence. A fly began to zoom by Sesshomaru's ear, his eyes followed the fly until he promptly swatted it with his left hand and let it hit the table.
"Er...Sesshomaru...can you try not to do that?"
"Huh? Oh...right...right..." he said and let the dead fly slide off the table. He picked up a napkin and wiped his hand off on it.
"Have you done anything exciting lately?" I asked him. I saw a devious grin form upon his lips. I slightly quivered at his grin and waited to hear what he was going to say.
"Other than being here with you right now, absolutely nothing." Sesshomaru said. He grasped my hand into his and lifted it up to his face. His lips softly grazed onto my pale hand. I tried not to blush when he acted this way, but I failed miserably and my face turned a crimson red blush.
'Wow! He's so romantic!' I thought to myself as my face began to turn a tomato color. Sesshomaru chuckled slightly and pulled me closer by my wrist. I stuttered slightly by his actions and I felt the end of his hips touch mine and he discontinued pulling me closer into him. I resisted from blushing when I was this closed and I sighed heavily, placing my hands under my chin.
"What is troubling you Kagome?" he asked and attempted to slowly glide his arm over my shoulder. I didn't mind this action so I didn't do anything to offend him by it.
"Nothing, it's just..." I began but the waiter reappeared with our drinks. He sat down the water and Mr. Pibb and nodded at us.
"Are you ready to order now?" the waiter asked. Sesshomaru and I both shook our heads. The waiter nodded once again, took his tray, and left us alone.
Sesshomaru removed his arm from my shoulder and picked up a menu for himself and also one for me.
"Here, lets order something." He stated and began to look through the menu. I joined him and I also looked.
Spaghetti and Meatballs, chicken salad, other assorted salads, anything that my heart desired was on the menu...well...anything but a peanut butter and banana sandwich...but oh well.
"What are you getting?" I asked.
"Spaghetti." I tried hard not to laugh. No offence to the guy or anything, he just didn't look like a spaghetti type of guy. He glanced over at me, probably bewildered by my actions. I quickly regained control of myself. "What are you getting?"
"The Chicken salad." I said and shut my menu. I took a small sip from my Mr. Pibb and we both sat in silence waiting for the waiter to come back once again to take our orders. We only had to wait a few minutes until he came back.
"Are you ready to order now?" he asked us, we both nodded our heads.
"I'll have the spaghetti." Sesshomaru stated and handed his menu to the waiter.
"And what will you be having miss?"
"I'll be having the chicken salad. Will you also bring a packet of ranch dressing?" I asked.
"Yes, yes of course." The waiter said and took my menu. "Your food will be ready shortly." The waiter exchanged glances with both me and Sesshomaru and quietly left us.
'Damn, I hope he does something interesting...but...on the other hand I'm still dating InuYasha...' I thought to myself, after a few minutes of debating inwardly. I came to the conclusion that right at that current moment, InuYasha didn't' matter at all. I guessed Sesshomaru was thinking about the same thing. For some odd reason his hand cupped my chin and he tilted my head up to meet his gaze.
I felt Sesshomaru's lips melt into mine. He was a much better kisser than InuYasha was. The way he was able to add just enough force into that one little kiss. A moment later he pulled away, leaving me wanting more. I wanted to kiss him even deeper, more wonderful! How did he make my emotions ride on the edge, leaving at the perfect moment?
I inched myself closer to Sesshomaru and ran my fingers in a small section of his beautifully long hair. He glanced at me and both of us leaned into each other and kissed once again. His kisses started at my lips and slowly began to trace down to my neck.
He began to lightly suck on my skin and gently bit into it. I let out a mixture of a gasp and a moan at this sensation and Sesshomaru noticed it. He retraced his lips up to mine and airily pressed his tongue against my lips. My lips parted and I felt his tongue tickle the inside of my mouth. I wrestled my tongue against his and finally he removed it.
"Kagome...I'm sorry." He said and shamefully turned his head away from mine. "I-I-I have to go...here take this to pay for the food and shop." Sesshomaru said handing me a nice sum of money.
"Sesshomaru!" I yelled at him.
"Sorry Kagome." He said before walking away from me, leaving me all alone in the booth of the Poinsettia Cottage.
