Chapter 6

I'll see you tomorrow?

----------

"You want me to...what?" repeated Sesshoumaru for clarification. He wasn't sure if he had heard correctly. Of course, his hearing was better than mostly everybody, but he still wanted to make sure.

"Be...my...boyfriend?" She was nervous, worried, and embarrassed at the same time, but she wouldn't show it. If she had shown any emotion, it would've given him a hint at her true motive. She wanted to use him for revenge on InuYasha, but he wasn't supposed to know. If he knew, he probably wouldn't accept. On the other hand, he might not accept her offer either way.

"Is this a joke?" asked Sesshoumaru suspiciously. He couldn't exactly believe what he was hearing. It wasn't something you heard everyday-- wait. Yes, it was. Sesshoumaru heard this question at least a hundred times each day.

"N-no! Why would it be a joke? I'm dead serious!" Kagome managed to say a few words, but she was mentally smacking herself on the head. Ah, I stuttered! Now he'll probably suspect something for sure!

Suspicion was undoubtedly on his mind. Why would this girl ask him to be her boyfriend? Questions flooded his mind, so he asked a few of them.

"Eh? W-why?" repeated Kagome uncertainly. Oh damn, I'm going to have to tell him the truth after all!

She looked him in the eye and immediately thought of a plan. Maybe confessing the truth was a good idea after all! Didn't Sesshoumaru hate InuYasha already anyway? Pretending to go out with Kagome would anger InuYasha and keep all the girls away from him! This would be a win-win situation!

Kagome explained her plan in explicit detail, watching Sesshoumaru's face closely. She wanted to see if his expressions would give away any hint as to what he was thinking. As usual, Sesshoumaru was stone-faced and expressionless. The only time his face moved was when he raised a brow or when he blinked.

"So...let me get this straight. You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend."

Nod.

"Just to get InuYasha jealous."

Nod Nod.

"What's in it for me is the fact that I can get InuYasha 'pissed off' without trying and no more girls following me around."

Three eager nods.

"And you just get the simple satisfaction of revenge."

Kagome smiled weakly. "So is it a deal?"

"No."

Kagome blinked.

"What? Why not?" asked Kagome. Clearly, she was confused. She had thought that he would accept eagerly, but she hadn't expected this.

"Why not, you ask? Your plan has many obvious faults, and yet you fail to notice them. How are you so sure InuYasha will even want you back? What if he just sits back and watches? I don't even want to name the rest of the faults. There are far too many. Besides, I don't think I like you enough to 'go out with you.' Even if it's just pretend."

"..."

Kagome just couldn't believe this! She knew he highly disliked her, but she never knew he hated her too! Was her plan falling apart before she had even started? What were the faults that she had in her plan? Surely, he was bluffing. There wasn't anything wrong with her plan! Was there? Great, now he had her doubting herself.

She knew that her plan would work. She was sure of it. All she had to do was get Sesshoumaru to agree with it. That was easier said that done. But maybe she knew a way.

"Sesshoumaru, please! I'm sure this will work! Even if you don't like me, I can prove to you that this will totally pay off! Just give me a chance! One day, that's all I ask. If you don't think it's worth your time, then you don't have to do it. But, please. Just one day?" pleaded Kagome.

Sesshoumaru looked down into Kagome's eyes, searching for a reason to say no. It was definitely a weird moment, but how could he say no to a face like that? The answer? He couldn't. He wouldn't. He didn't.

"Alright," breathed Sesshoumaru. "One chance. Two hours. Are you sure about this?"

Kagome gasped. Had he actually said yes? "I-I'm sure! Now c'mon! Let's get going! I'm pretty sure you noticed InuYasha hiding in the bushes, right?"

"How could I not? It is obvious."

Kagome smiled good-naturedly and wrapped her arm around his. Sango was watching closely, but she couldn't hear anything. Her jaw dropped when she saw Kagome and Sesshoumaru walking away, arm in arm.

----------

InuYasha was hiding in the bushes with Miroku, 'spying' on Kagome. Miroku was drooling like a pig while InuYasha was busy trying to make out what Kagome and Sesshoumaru were saying. InuYasha was frustrated. Not only because he couldn't hear what they were saying, but also because of Miroku's drooling. Miroku's saliva was beginning to get on his clothes.

"Ooh, look at that one. Hey, her thighs are pretty nice. Ah! My eyes! That one is just plain UGLY! Hey, InuYasha--ow!"

InuYasha had bopped Miroku's head. A vein popped out of his forehead, and InuYasha held out his fist threateningly. "If you say one more word about another woman's breasts and/or legs, I swear, I am going to kill you."

"Okay, okay!" Miroku backed off. "Now, can you make out what Kagome-sama and... is that Sesshoumaru-sama?"

It was obvious at that moment that InuYasha was growling fiercely. A single bead of sweat dropped as Miroku got at least three feet away from him. Miroku decided to try a different tactic.

"So...can you at least hear what they're saying?" he said weakly.

"No. As much as I hate to admit it, I can't hear them. I can't lip read either! They're too far! If they were just a few feet closer, then I could, but I can't! Dammit, something bad is happening. I just know it."

They watched as Kagome froze and then started talking again. Sesshoumaru seemed to be refusing something, and Kagome was trying to convince him to...do something... InuYasha cursed multiple times when he remembered that he wouldn't be able to hear them, so he would never know if his theories were true. All of a sudden, Kagome took his brother's arm. This was enough for InuYasha.

"Sesshoumaru...!" InuYasha's aura blew up, and he looked as menacing as ever. His aura pushed Miroku back, but he gladly ran away anyway. He had had enough of Kagome-watching. He was out for a little more...entertaining sport. Babe watching...

"Kagome..." InuYasha said weakly, as a defeated look formed on his face. "Have you really given up on us...?"

----------

Kagome walked over to Sango with Sesshoumaru, arm in arm. Sango's jaw dropped and just stared for awhile. Why would Sesshoumaru be with Kagome? Questions were swarming around in Sango's mind and some escaped through her mouth.

"Kagome! What are you doing with him? Is--" Sango was cut off.

"Ssh. Sango. I'll tell you later. We're going to go on a few rides, wanna come with us?" asked Kagome in a whisper.

"Sure..." nodded Sango.

They lined up to go on a roller coaster, but Sango was too tired of waiting and walked away, leaving the pair alone. Apparently, she needed to go to the bathroom and then win a few prizes.

"Umm...so...Sesshoumaru..." Kagome struggled with words. She couldn't think of anything to say to him! He was going to say no to her for sure.

"Save your small talk for later. We're next."

"Already?" asked Kagome. Apparently, she had been thinking about what to say too hard, and the line had moved without her knowing. Smiling weakly, Kagome walked up to the man who was collecting the tickets/money.

"How much?" asked Sesshoumaru impatiently.

The man was a little intimidated and managed to say, "I-it's on the house for you, sir!"

Sesshoumaru just glared at the man and tossed a bill at him.

"This should be enough for the both of us," said Sesshoumaru coldly.

As the two got on the ride, Kagome wondered why Sesshoumaru was so cold towards that man. Why didn't he accept the free ride? There were too many questions going through her mind at the moment, so she just decided that he was just a good person and didn't wanted to be treated differently than others. Maybe she'd ask him later.

"...What are you doing?"

Kagome looked up into his cold amber eyes, and her face flushed a light pink. She was holding his arm tighter than before and was closer to him. She quickly let go and put her hands on her lap, still blushing.

Sesshoumaru smirked. He wouldn't admit it, but he thought she looked cute like that.

Sesshoumaru frowned. The roller coaster was moving...slowly at first...but he knew what was coming. People behind him screamed, and he just sat there emotionlessly, his hair blown in all directions in the wind. He looked at Kagome, just to make sure she was alright. What he saw surprised him. She just sat there, looking at the rest of the amusement park below them. His hair was flying everywhere –most of it on her—and she didn't seem to mind. Playing with Sesshoumaru's hair was the dream of every teenage girl in Nantonaku boarding school. Along with dating him, of course.

The ride ended and Kagome got off first, feeling a little light headed, but she didn't let that stop her. She spotted the food court and immediately felt better.

"Sesshoumaru! Can we get something to eat? I didn't get to eat breakfast, so I'm a little hungry...," said Kagome. Her stomach growled loudly, and she sweatdropped. 'A little hungry' was an understatement.

Kagome saw Sango and waved her over. Her eyes widened as Sango pushed a cart full of purple bears towards them.

"Uh...hey Sango. You wanna come eat...?"

"Sorry, can't. I'm on a mission. Gotta free the bears!"

With that, Sango left Sesshoumaru and Kagome sitting at a table by themselves.

Still feeling what was left of his hangover, Sesshoumaru only got himself a soda while Kagome, well, Kagome got a hot dog, a burger, some cotton candy, two sodas, popcorn with extra butter, ice cream, and a giant lollipop to finish it all off. Sesshoumaru watched with slightly wide eyes as Kagome ate everything that he had bought her. He was lucky she hadn't wanted everything on the menu. There were only about 7 things left anyhow.

"That was good, don't you agree?"

Sesshoumaru merely nodded, not really feeling up to an insult at the moment. Kagome certainly had a lot of energy in her, and she was pretty much hopping around Sesshoumaru.

"Ooh! Sesshy-chan! Can we go play that? How about that one? Can you win me a prize? Huh? Huh? Please Sesshy please?" whined Kagome. She pouted when Sesshoumaru didn't answer and pulled out her secret weapon. Her infamous puppy dog pout. Her eyes grew enormous and watered rapidly. She put out her bottom lip and looked like she was going to cry.

Nobody had ever refused her anything when she had done her puppy dog pout before, and this certainly wasn't going to be one of those times when there was a first time for everything.

Kagome cheered as Sesshoumaru stood up.

"Just one thing first," instructed Sesshoumaru.

"Yes?" asked Kagome.

"Don't call me Sesshy or Sesshy-chan. Never ever call me that."

"Yes sir! I will obey orders Mr. Fluffy-man sir!" saluted Kagome.

Sesshoumaru almost groaned. How long was this going to last? Hopefully, her energy would run out before the two hours were up. He didn't want to make his decision on this psychoKagome. He wanted the real one.

Sesshoumaru put down five dollars and got ten darts. He had to pop seven balloons to win a prize and the little man behind the counter looked pretty confident that Sesshoumaru wouldn't succeed. Of course, Sesshoumaru popped all ten and won a giant dog for Kagome. It was white and about as tall as Sesshoumaru was.

Considering that Sesshoumaru was about a head or two taller than Kagome, the dog was pretty big. If you looked at its face, you would be able to see Kagome's puppy dog pout. That's how cute it was.

"Thanks, Sesshoumaru! I love dogs!" she hugged it really tightly, along with Sesshoumaru. He sensed InuYasha was behind one of the booths, watching them, so he did the first thing that came to his mind. He hugged Kagome back. He smirked when he felt how InuYasha had reacted. His aura was burning up.

----------

"InuYasha! I had no idea you were so good at these kind of games!" exclaimed Kagome.

"Well, I am," said InuYasha proudly. "So, which one do you want, Kagome? Go ahead and pick one. I'll win it for you."

"Really? Hmm...I want the dog!"

"Eh? There's a dog? Uhhh...I don't think..."

"Huh? Oh...okay. Don't worry about it. I'll just take the bear."

"The bear? Okay!"

Kagome smiled and looked at the prize selection. The bear wasn't as cute or as big compared to the dog, but she respected InuYasha's feelings and chose the not-so-cute one.

"Thanks, InuYasha," Kagome said softly, hugging InuYasha.

----------

"I guess...I don't really know anything about her...," whispered InuYasha. "But I still can't forgive Sesshoumaru for hugging Kagome!"

Miroku suddenly appeared next to InuYasha.

"So, what'd I miss?" asked Miroku.

"Sesshoumaru just won a giant dog for Kagome and they just hugged," growled InuYasha.

"Well, it's about time Kagome-sama got herself a dog!" exclaimed Miroku.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Didn't you ever notice that Kagome-sama's room never had any stuffed animals of dogs in it?"

"Yea, but what--"

"It was because she didn't want you to get mad about the stuffed dogs, so she never got any even though she loved them."

"Since when do you know more about Kagome then me?" hissed InuYasha.

"Since forever. I know more about a lot of women than you do, InuYasha."

"Why you--"

InuYasha quickly went to work. He strangled Miroku and left his unconscious body under a fortune telling booth.

----------

Kagome soon spotted Sango and called her over. She was surprised to see that Sango was now in a bulldozer pushing pink and blue teddy bears.

"Hey, Kagome. Sesshoumaru. What's up?"

"We were just going to go on the Ferris wheel. Wanna come?" asked Kagome.

"Sorry, can't! Still gotta free the bears!"

Kagome watched Sango wave goodbye and push her giant mound of teddy bears. She went up to a booth, but a man quickly pulled down a shade and closed the booth. Sango glared at the booth for awhile before deciding to move on to the second one. Apparently, the same man was at the next booth, and he looked defeated. He had obviously thought that Sango would give up if she couldn't get to one of the booths.

Sweatdropping, Kagome tugged Sesshoumaru towards the Ferris wheel. It was almost sunset, and the day had passed so quickly. Time seemed to stand still as InuYasha watched Sesshoumaru help Kagome into the little box.

InuYasha didn't feel like doing much of anything at the moment. What could he do? All he knew was he had made the wrong choice and jealousy filled his veins. How could anyone care for that emotionless freak? It just seemed wrong and impossible to him...

----------

Kagome sat down quietly with her hands in her lap and blushed a little. Her hyper moment was over. Now she was left alone with Sesshoumaru...it was really nerve wracking. He soon sat down on the seat next to her, silently. Neither one of them made a sound.

As soon as the wheel started to spin, Kagome felt a little more at ease. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt tired. The sun was starting to set and as the wheel started to go up, Kagome stood up. She put her hands on the glass and stared at the sunset in awe. This just seemed so...right. Everything was perfect, even though InuYasha wasn't here.

Her emotions never changing, Kagome thought some more about what had happened in the past two days. Only two days and so much things had happened. Kagome thought it over a little bit. Was Sesshoumaru just a replacement for InuYasha? Would this plan really work? Would InuYasha come running back like she thought he would?

Shaking her head slightly, she laughed softly. Thinking all of these things wouldn't help at all. She should just let things happen as they were supposed to. She went back to watching the sun as it set. The sky was darkening, and there was a tinge of purple. Orange, red, and purple. Did those colors really match? No, not really, but in a sunset, they were just perfect.

Sesshoumaru watched Kagome as she stared at the sunset in awe. Had she never seen a sunset before? He unconsciously made a mental note to remember what she liked. Dogs, junk foods, and sunsets. He didn't even really know why he needed to remember. He wasn't going to pretend to be her boyfriend anyway. Right?

He got up slowly and draped his arms over her shoulders. They were still facing outwards, and as Kagome watched the sunset, he laced their fingers together and held her hands so they couldn't be able to move. He didn't want her to be nervous and start fidgeting.

"It's so beautiful...," breathed Kagome. It was getting dark and fireworks soon lit the night sky. It was strange how the fireworks were never seen by her in her dorm room. This 'carnival' wasn't very far and the fireworks were in the sky, but why wasn't she able to see them? Oh, well.

Their little box stopped at the very top, and Kagome and Sesshoumaru were both very quiet. They had just seen Sango at the very bottom. How could they have seen Sango from all they way up there, you ask? Well, she might have just been a little dot, but all of her teddy bears were pretty noticeable.

If you could ask anybody, they'd say the mood was totally killed too.

----------

The little 'twerps' were all standing outside of Kagome's car, waiting patiently. Well, not really. Little kids tend to get twitchy and can't stand or sit still. They were waiting with Sango, who, unfortunately did not have the keys to the car.

"Do you think she forgot about us?" asked Souta nervously.

Sango absently smacked him on the head with the back of her hand and looked on ahead. She could faintly make out the figures of Kagome and Sesshoumaru getting off the Ferris wheel. She motioned for all of them to be quiet while she watched Kagome and Sesshoumaru get closer.

----------

Holding her stuffed dog close to her chest, Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru. The day had gone by so fast. It seemed weird that this day would end like this, with her feeling this way. Her car was so close; she almost wished that she were in it, driving away from this awkward scene.

"So...I guess this is it, ne?" she asked nervously. "I'll see you tomorrow...?"

Kagome didn't wait for the answer because she was sure his silence meant no and turned around to leave when Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist. She was surprised, to say the least. Sesshoumaru was pretty surprised himself. He had never acted so impulsively in his life before! Why was it, that when he was near this girl, he acted so unlike himself?

Kagome smiled sheepishly and hugged Sesshoumaru gently before turning to leave again. Interestingly enough, Kagome found herself being hugged back by Sesshoumaru tightly. She blushed when he wouldn't let her go and found herself remembering a similar event. InuYasha had refused to let her go last time, too. She shook her head softly, not to disturb Sesshoumaru. She never could compare Sesshoumaru with InuYasha. They were just too different.

Sesshoumaru was almost grinning. Hugging Kagome wasn't so bad after all. He spotted InuYasha hiding behind a cart and his aura was burning. Maybe this had been worth it after all.

"Your little scheme might just work," whispered Sesshoumaru, as he inhaled Kagome's scent. Her scent was almost intoxicating; he felt as though he couldn't get enough of it. There was something that made him a little uneasy about her though. Why did he feel this way around this girl and this girl only?

Pulling back a little, Kagome looked into Sesshoumaru's eyes, as if checking for something.

"So you'll really help me? You're not joking?" asked Kagome. She couldn't believe what she was hearing!

Sesshoumaru tilted Kagome's chin up towards him and kissed her gently on the lips, loving each and every second of the jealousy he could feel from InuYasha.

"I think that should answer your question," murmured Sesshoumaru as he stepped back. "I believe your friends are waiting for you. Goodbye, Higurashi."

With that, he disappeared. Maybe it really would work. If Kagome didn't remember about their little quarrels in the past, maybe it would work. If she did remember, then this plan was done with.

----------

Kagome walked towards her car with a dazed expression on her face. She REALLY hadn't expected that, and of all people, she REALLY REALLY hadn't expected that from him. With a content sigh, Kagome opened the door to her car and sat down carefully, feeling a little lightheaded.

Sango smirked, and all the other kids looked depressed.

"So, Kagome, what have you been doing?" teased Sango.

Instantly, a blush crept onto Kagome's cheeks and she looked away. She started the car and tried to think of a way to avoid Sango's teasing for the rest of the trip home. This would be a long ride...
