Chapter 30: Kanaru and Sesshy
You'll need to get the dictionary here people. This is Sesshy's pov, meaning lots of long words.
After Breakfast…
-Sesshy's pov-
"Sessho-sama, come to my room! I'll let you listen to my new C.D.'s!!!" Souta said excitedly jumping up and down while pulling at my arm.
I walked slowly and with grace to where the child was pulling me. Giving the child what he wanted to please him.
"Ah!" Kagome said standing beside me and grabbing my arm from Souta. "No, he won't come to your room and listen to some stupid C.D.'s! He's gonna help me with my archery!" Kagome said smiling at me.
"Says who?!" Souta said angrily at his sister.
"Says me! Beh!" she said sticking her tongue out at him. It amused me how childish Kagome was.
"Oh no, Kagome-chan!" Came a voice from behind us. Kagome and I turned to see Mrs. Higurashi smiling. "YOU are going to do your chores today." She said handing Kagome a broomstick!
"AWW, but ma!" she whined. "What about him?!" she indicated Souta.
"Souta is going to his room and going to clean it up." She said looking at Souta.
"YEAY!!! CAN SESSHO-SAMA HELP?" He said, instantly brightening up.
"I don't see why not." She replied.
"Aw man!!!" Kagome said and grumpily walked towards the living room. Souta proceeded to pull at my arm and assist me to his room. I admit that Souta's euphoria was a bit unwelcome but it was a pleasure to bring happiness to this child's innocent face. Perhaps if anyone would take the time to stare more intently at Kagome and Souta you could say that their faces are somewhat similar.
Souta was more like a male version of his sister. They were both capricious in many ways. Though it is easy to tell that although Kagome and I are heterogeneous, we are somewhat attracted to each other's company. Both our characteristics were aberrant. I was cold-hearted, a critic and a perfectionist. She was open minded, and charming, and… profoundly pure hearted. It was immensely hard to recognize the reason why Kagome and I get along so well. But that was what made me so interested in standing by her so much: how she could set aside our differences just like so and befriend me. It was something remarkable and rare to me. It made me look up to Kagome as worthy of my presence.
Soon enough I looked at myself as seemingly worthy of HER presence. My respect for her grew by the day. And it seems that she has helped me get through my life alive more than just once. With her smile, with her good advices, with her melodic laughter, with every glance towards me, with every time that she would ask for me, with the way she calls out to me, the way she brings me into trouble and the way she shows me how beautiful everything in nature was. She was the only reason to smile about in this hell of a world.
She was the only one to make me laugh so hard: smile so often, talk more, lengthen and shorten my patience… so many countless effects she has on me. It was both auspicious AND inauspicious. She was like an enigma to no end. Holding my curiosity in an inadvertent manner.
"Sessho-sama, just sit down on my bed while I get the c.d. player!" he said taking me into his blue painted room. His bed was under the window with his table beside his bed. He had a bookshelf and computer. His green bag was shoved under his computer desk. He walked to his desk and took the newly bought C.D.'s from the top of it. He opened his bag and took out the c.d. player.
"Here!" he said handing me the C.D.'s and c.d. player. "Just listen to it while I clean up my messy room." I put the earphones on my ears and pressed play. Then music started to play in my head.
-------------------------------
Rain, rain on my face
Hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
And slowly I become
One with the mud
------------------------------
I closed my eyes to listen and concentrate intently on the lyrics.
------------------------------
But if I can't swim up to forty days
And my mind is crushed my the crashing waves, lift me up
So high that I cannot fall
Lift me, oh
Lift me up!
When I'm fallin'
Lift me up!
When weak and dyin'
Lift me up!
I need you to hold me
Lift me up!
To keep me from drowning again…
----------------------------
I opened my eyes once again only to find that Souta had vanished! I looked around and found no trace of him. Seeing his trashcan was empty I quickly comprehended that he must have gone outside to take out the trash. I see many people on the T.V. do such things. It was disgusting.
A few more songs tuned into my head and one song seemed to be calling out to me. I don't know why though.
----------------------------
Oh, no, no, no, no, no...
When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past - you wanna let it go
I've been there, done it, all around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby...
U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up then you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
Oh, know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad
When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all, girl)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just cause I'm...)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people should know what's going on
Look at you baby, help me sing my song
Tell 'em I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world
Then you say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can
See I've been there, done it, all around
After all that - this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad...hey
U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
Oh, know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

It became intrumental for a while. Then he started to sing once again.

---------------------------------
This song was intriguing. It tells of a man in love with a certain woman. And he doesn't seem to know how deeply in love he truly was. But now, he was telling himself of how in love he was: or telling it to another man with the same occurrence. I for one do not understand many songs that profess one's love for a female or male. Love was not something hard for me to understand for I have been told a thousand times that women love me. But never have I encountered the feeling for myself. It seems that I am immune to this 'love' they speak of so frequently. That was a good thing.
I would not want myself to be like those love-struck dimwits who write poetry and songs only to be torn when they find out that their love was unrequited. It was pathetic. From what I've seen love is useless and more destructive than any knife, gun or bulldozing machine, for that matter. That is why I am thankful that I am not in love. (HFaith: that's what you think!)
I slouched onto the head of the bed where I sat. My back was against the wall and my hair was lighted by the sunlight seeping through the blinds. It makes me recall the happenings of last night. I remember Kagome's 'friend' in the same clothes that I had been in. my eyes narrowed.
'If she has his clothes, then that would mean…' but if I would ask her of it she would know that I had been spying on her. That would upset her greatly. Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts,
"Sess-kun?" I looked forward to see that Kagome was looking as if she was going somewhere. Her shirt was long sleeved and colored pink. She had her usual blue skirt on, the one that reached under her knees. I raised an eyebrow at her in question.
She walked into the room and said, "I have to go and return something that I borrowed from a store in town. So if you'll need anything-"
"Kagome," I interrupted. This was the time to ask her. She had silenced herself to hear me out. Seeing that she was not offended, I continued.
"Where exactly did you get these clothes?" her eyes widened as I stared intently at her. She seemed to fiddle with her fingers. I took off the earphones and stood up seeing that she was nervous.
"Uh-w-well, um, I-I told you didn't I? It was Souta's-"
"I know that you are lying, Kagome. It seems that you are being a bit conspicuous." I stalked towards her in an intimidating way so that she will feel as if she has no escape but to tell me the truth.
"N-No I'm not! I mean- I'm not lying!" she said with a pout trying to look hurt and offended. She kept backing up until I had cornered her against the wall. I smirked at how futile her attempts were. She gasped at the feel of the wall and also my smile. And a blush graced her cheeks as I put my hands against the walls beside her so that she was trapped.
"Um- uh well… uh, I mean- um… I-" suddenly a thud came from outside the room. We both looked towards the door and found Souta there with a broomstick at his feet. He looked shocked.
"Souta!" Kagome said in surprise. Souta seemed to come back to reality and a smirk played on his face. I got off the wall and stood straight, looking still at Souta's knowing smile.
"Kagome, so you're gonna make me an uncle now?!"
"WHAT?!" Kagome screamed, fumed and blushed as Souta waved a finger at us.
"That would be great for me but please… don't do it in my room." He said as if he was a parent.
"Why You?!" Kagome said charging after him and extending her arms so that when she reaches him, she would be able to quickly strangle his neck. I smirked in amusement.
When they both were out of my sight, I sighed. I did not get an answer.
"Why you! COME BACK HERE!!!" Kagome's voice rang around the house. I heard a BONK and Souta screamed, "OW!!!"
Kagome walked back in my line of sight looking satisfied and clapping her hands off of imaginary dust. When she looked at me a triumphant grin appeared on her face. My lips quirked up into a smirk. Kagome can be so childish. It was then that I noticed a box in her hands.
I raised a brow and stared at it. She looked down at her hands and smiled up at me. She walked closer to me and said, "oh, this?"
"I borrowed it from a store the other day. So I'm going there to give it back. Wanna come?" she asked. I saw no other acceptable option than to go with her. I didn't want to stay inside the whole day. So I nodded
"Okay, but first: let's get you another shirt." I nodded and followed her towards her room. She had a plastic bag on her shelf. She took a button-down shirt colored white out of it and gave it to me. It looked newly bought. I wonder why she would buy something like this?
"Now, go and get dressed." I nodded and walked towards the bathroom. "Oh and Sess-kun?" I looked back at her and was amused to find that she was blushing and averting her gaze, AND fiddling with her fingers. "Don't forget to lock the door this time." A small smile graced my lips. She must still be embarrassed about last night. I turned and walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I made sure that she heard the sound of the door being locked.
Later…
We had arrived at the store she had indicated before and came in.
When we had entered a woman with auburn hair and red make up smiled at us and walked out of the counter.
"Ah, Kagome-san, how nice to see you again! Are you here to return the kimono?" she said all too enthusiastically for my taste.
"Hai! I didn't get the chance to give it back yesterday since it started to rain. I'm so sorry, Karuga-san." Kagome said smiling at the woman named Karuga.
"Oh, it is all right. Kanaru-san will be very pleased to hear that you have come back." She said. I was curious when I saw Kagome blushing lightly at the name. I raised an eyebrow.
Just then a man wearing a suit came from the door far behind Karuga. He had black straight hair, tied in a low ponytail. When he saw Kagome, his lips quirked up into a smirk: a disgusting… annoying… irritating smirk.
"Kagome-san! How nice to see you again! Still with Sesshoumaru-san, I see." I raised an eyebrow at him. Still? Then I remembered yesterday. My copy was with her. I glared menacingly at nothing in particular. So he took my name as well. Despicable!
A look of light surprise came over him as he laid eyes upon me. "Why, Sesshoumaru-san! You have cut your hair? I must say it is such a waste of beautiful hair. But I cannot say that I do not like your hair now." He said looking impressed. Something about him made me so… irritated. He was like an itch! Irritating and annoying! You can't help but want to scratch.
"Um… Ginoumo-san, I just came by to give back the kimono I borrowed." Kagome said, making this man called Ginoumo look from me to her. And once again, that smirk came upon his lips. I stopped myself from snarling at the disgusting display of…arg! I can't even find the right words because of my irritation!
"Oh, please, Kagome-san. Just call me Kanaru. I see no reason why you cannot address me as openly as you do with my sister." He said indicating to Karuga. A look of surprise came upon Kagome and she laughed. "Oh, my gosh, I didn't know! So that must mean that this is a family business? That's great! I should've known you were Karuga-san's brother."
"No worries!" he smiled.
"Oh, um, here's the kimono. Thank you so much for letting me borrow it! It was so kind of you." She said handing the kimono to the 'itch' of a man.
"Thank you! Please, do come again!" he said smiling.
"Oh, I will!" Kagome said smiling back at him.
"No, really." He said looking serious yet with a smile. "I'd just love to see you once again." He said looking Kagome over. I growled, that little leach! I grabbed Kagome's arm and looked at her sternly.
"Kagome let us take our leave." She nodded and waved goodbye to Karuga and the leach. He was no longer an itch! Now, he became a leach!
When we were far away from the store, I stopped and looked at her. "Kagome, promise me that you will never, and I mean NEVER, come into that store ever again." I said in a commanding manner.
Kagome raised an eyebrow at me and said, "What's wrong with you, Sess-kun? I know that he's a little creepy but that doesn't mean that-" "Kagome!" I cut in, telling her that I was dead serious. She saw the look and sighed in surrender. "All right, I won't come back there. Okay?" I relaxed at her words. That leach will never see her ever again. Seeing his eyes roaming her figure as such meant something. And that something was not favorable. I do not trust him.
"Now, will you let go? I'm kinda hungry." She said. Seeing that my hand was still clasping her arm, I let go and nodded.
"Let's go!" she said walking on the paved streets of Tokyo. I followed close behind, letting her lead the way for once.
We found an ice-cream shop after a while and decided to eat there. There was a cloth spread wide across a square area outside the ice-cream shop to ensconce us from the sun where we sat at the tables. She ordered Chocolate ice cream while I had ordered Vanilla. This would add to the fact that we are truly contrary. She seemed to be fully enjoying herself with her frozen dessert. I was barely eating mine, when once again; the memory of my family came into mind.
My eyebrows furrowed in concentration. He was coming. He was going to stay. And he was going to be there always: starting next semester. How would Kagome handle this? How would I handle this? He was going to be there!
"Sess-kun?" I looked up from staring at my melting dessert and looked at sapphire blue eyes filled with concern.
"Yes?" I asked.
"What's bothering you? I told you I wouldn't come back there. Don't you trust me?" she said with a pout. I almost laughed at but instead, settled for a smile.
"No, Kagome, it is not you. It's just that…" should I tell her?
"What?" she looked worried. I decided to not make her worry so much for nothing and said,
"It's… my half-brother…" I played with the dessert and the cherry on top of it.
"What about him?" I didn't see the look of her face for I was looking at my quickly melting ice cream.
"I've had my suspicions of my father's infidelity for quite a while now. But I never found proof. Up until now…" my features hardened once again into my mask of indifference. "And now… I hear that he is going to transfer my half brother into our school." I looked up to see Kagome's expression. Her eyebrows furrowed in worry and she put her hand over mine.
"It'll be all right, Sess-kun. I'll be here for you." She declared boldly. A smile grew on my lips as the worry suddenly floated away. Yes, Kagome would be there. And she was all that I needed to survive. She smiled as she enclosed her hand in mind. I held back the urge to caress her blushing cheek with the back of my hand. She loved to see me smile. But only one of my most genuine and heart-felt smiles could make her blush so profusely. So instead, I lifted her hand that was still holding mine and rubbed it against my cheek, feeling the soft skin of her fingers.
"I know…" I said, closing my eyes in comfort. I know, Kagome…

"Kagome," I interrupted. This was the time to ask her. She had silenced herself to hear me out. Seeing that she was not offended, I continued.
"Where exactly did you get these clothes?" her eyes widened as I stared intently at her. She seemed to fiddle with her fingers. I took off the earphones and stood up seeing that she was nervous.
"Uh-w-well, um, I-I told you didn't I? It was Souta's-"
"I know that you are lying, Kagome. It seems that you are being a bit conspicuous." I stalked towards her in an intimidating way so that she will feel as if she has no escape but to tell me the truth.
"N-No I'm not! I mean- I'm not lying!" she said with a pout trying to look hurt and offended. She kept backing up until I had cornered her against the wall. I smirked at how futile her attempts were. She gasped at the feel of the wall and also my smile. And a blush graced her cheeks as I put my hands against the walls beside her so that she was trapped.
"Um- uh well… uh, I mean- um… I-" suddenly a thud came from outside the room. We both looked towards the door and found Souta there with a broomstick at his feet. He looked shocked.
"Souta!" Kagome said in surprise. Souta seemed to come back to reality and a smirk played on his face. I got off the wall and stood straight, looking still at Souta's knowing smile.
"Kagome, so you're gonna make me an uncle now?!"
"WHAT?!" Kagome screamed, fumed and blushed as Souta waved a finger at us.
"That would be great for me but please… don't do it in my room." He said as if he was a parent.
"Why You?!" Kagome said charging after him and extending her arms so that when she reaches him, she would be able to quickly strangle his neck. I smirked in amusement.
When they both were out of my sight, I sighed. I did not get an answer.
"Why you! COME BACK HERE!!!" Kagome's voice rang around the house. I heard a BONK and Souta screamed, "OW!!!"
Kagome walked back in my line of sight looking satisfied and clapping her hands off of imaginary dust. When she looked at me a triumphant grin appeared on her face. My lips quirked up into a smirk. Kagome can be so childish. It was then that I noticed a box in her hands.
I raised a brow and stared at it. She looked down at her hands and smiled up at me. She walked closer to me and said, "oh, this?"
"I borrowed it from a store the other day. So I'm going there to give it back. Wanna come?" she asked. I saw no other acceptable option than to go with her. I didn't want to stay inside the whole day. So I nodded
"Okay, but first: let's get you another shirt." I nodded and followed her towards her room. She had a plastic bag on her shelf. She took a button-down shirt colored white out of it and gave it to me. It looked newly bought. I wonder why she would buy something like this?
"Now, go and get dressed." I nodded and walked towards the bathroom. "Oh and Sess-kun?" I looked back at her and was amused to find that she was blushing and averting her gaze, AND fiddling with her fingers. "Don't forget to lock the door this time." A small smile graced my lips. She must still be embarrassed about last night. I turned and walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I made sure that she heard the sound of the door being locked.
Later…
We had arrived at the store she had indicated before and came in.
When we had entered a woman with auburn hair and red make up smiled at us and walked out of the counter.
"Ah, Kagome-san, how nice to see you again! Are you here to return the kimono?" she said all too enthusiastically for my taste.
"Hai! I didn't get the chance to give it back yesterday since it started to rain. I'm so sorry, Karuga-san." Kagome said smiling at the woman named Karuga.
"Oh, it is all right. Kanaru-san will be very pleased to hear that you have come back." She said. I was curious when I saw Kagome blushing lightly at the name. I raised an eyebrow.
Just then a man wearing a suit came from the door far behind Karuga. He had black straight hair, tied in a low ponytail. When he saw Kagome, his lips quirked up into a smirk: a disgusting… annoying… irritating smirk.
"Kagome-san! How nice to see you again! Still with Sesshoumaru-san, I see." I raised an eyebrow at him. Still? Then I remembered yesterday. My copy was with her. I glared menacingly at nothing in particular. So he took my name as well. Despicable!
A look of light surprise came over him as he laid eyes upon me. "Why, Sesshoumaru-san! You have cut your hair? I must say it is such a waste of beautiful hair. But I cannot say that I do not like your hair now." He said looking impressed. Something about him made me so… irritated. He was like an itch! Irritating and annoying! You can't help but want to scratch.
"Um… Ginoumo-san, I just came by to give back the kimono I borrowed." Kagome said, making this man called Ginoumo look from me to her. And once again, that smirk came upon his lips. I stopped myself from snarling at the disgusting display of…arg! I can't even find the right words because of my irritation!
"Oh, please, Kagome-san. Just call me Kanaru. I see no reason why you cannot address me as openly as you do with my sister." He said indicating to Karuga. A look of surprise came upon Kagome and she laughed. "Oh, my gosh, I didn't know! So that must mean that this is a family business? That's great! I should've known you were Karuga-san's brother."
"No worries!" he smiled.
"Oh, um, here's the kimono. Thank you so much for letting me borrow it! It was so kind of you." She said handing the kimono to the 'itch' of a man.
"Thank you! Please, do come again!" he said smiling.
"Oh, I will!" Kagome said smiling back at him.
"No, really." He said looking serious yet with a smile. "I'd just love to see you once again." He said looking Kagome over. I growled, that little leach! I grabbed Kagome's arm and looked at her sternly.
"Kagome let us take our leave." She nodded and waved goodbye to Karuga and the leach. He was no longer an itch! Now, he became a leach!
When we were far away from the store, I stopped and looked at her. "Kagome, promise me that you will never, and I mean NEVER, come into that store ever again." I said in a commanding manner.
Kagome raised an eyebrow at me and said, "What's wrong with you, Sess-kun? I know that he's a little creepy but that doesn't mean that-" "Kagome!" I cut in, telling her that I was dead serious. She saw the look and sighed in surrender. "All right, I won't come back there. Okay?" I relaxed at her words. That leach will never see her ever again. Seeing his eyes roaming her figure as such meant something. And that something was not favorable. I do not trust him.
"Now, will you let go? I'm kinda hungry." She said. Seeing that my hand was still clasping her arm, I let go and nodded.
"Let's go!" she said walking on the paved streets of Tokyo. I followed close behind, letting her lead the way for once.
We found an ice-cream shop after a while and decided to eat there. There was a cloth spread wide across a square area outside the ice-cream shop to ensconce us from the sun where we sat at the tables. She ordered Chocolate ice cream while I had ordered Vanilla. This would add to the fact that we are truly contrary. She seemed to be fully enjoying herself with her frozen dessert. I was barely eating mine, when once again; the memory of my family came into mind.
My eyebrows furrowed in concentration. He was coming. He was going to stay. And he was going to be there always: starting next semester. How would Kagome handle this? How would I handle this? He was going to be there!
"Sess-kun?" I looked up from staring at my melting dessert and looked at sapphire blue eyes filled with concern.
"Yes?" I asked.
"What's bothering you? I told you I wouldn't come back there. Don't you trust me?" she said with a pout. I almost laughed at but instead, settled for a smile.
"No, Kagome, it is not you. It's just that…" should I tell her?
"What?" she looked worried. I decided to not make her worry so much for nothing and said,
"It's… my half-brother…" I played with the dessert and the cherry on top of it.
"What about him?" I didn't see the look of her face for I was looking at my quickly melting ice cream.
"I've had my suspicions of my father's infidelity for quite a while now. But I never found proof. Up until now…" my features hardened once again into my mask of indifference. "And now… I hear that he is going to transfer my half brother into our school." I looked up to see Kagome's expression. Her eyebrows furrowed in worry and she put her hand over mine.
"It'll be all right, Sess-kun. I'll be here for you." She declared boldly. A smile grew on my lips as the worry suddenly floated away. Yes, Kagome would be there. And she was all that I needed to survive. She smiled as she enclosed her hand in mind. I held back the urge to caress her blushing cheek with the back of my hand. She loved to see me smile. But only one of my most genuine and heart-felt smiles could make her blush so profusely. So instead, I lifted her hand that was still holding mine and rubbed it against my cheek, feeling the soft skin of her fingers.
"I know…" I said, closing my eyes in comfort. I know, Kagome…
