Ch.7

Sesshoumaru & Kagome during Raiyne and Inuyasha's prank

Kagome slid into her walk-in closet, yawning. She dressed in her silver silk pyjamas with butterflies and walked out, still yawning. She walked over to the washroom and opened the door. Kagome stood there, shocked and surprised. There stood Sesshoumaru half-naked brushing his teeth and fangs. Kagome blushed immediately. Sesshoumaru perked an eyebrow. "Isn't it impolite not to knock before you open the door?" asked Sesshoumaru, smirking. Kagome reddened more, if it were possible. "S-S-Sor-r-ry." Kagome quickly shut the door and let out a breath that she did not know she was holding. Oh Gods! He's so …hot! She shook her head. Sesshoumaru came out (with his shirt on if you perverts were wondering. ) into his room.

He went into his closet and grabbed a plain white shirt and thought, God! She's so cute when she's blushing! He heard the bathroom door open on Kagome's side and close with his demon hearing. When will she learn to knock? He smirked. He lied down on his bed and closed his eyes. She's very creative with music too. And she's nice. He turned on his side. I could get used to her and everyone else. Though they're not very normal. He fell easily into a dreamless sleep. A sleep that he hasn't experienced in a long time, thinking of… Kagome.

With Kagome

Kagome was brushing her hair, getting ready for bed. Yet again, she yawned. He's pretty nice, I guess, though he doesn't show much emotion. But I guess I could get used to him. Kagome widened her eyes in realization. What am I thinking! It's not like I'm his girlfriend or anything! God what's wrong with me!

She set down her brush on the right side of the sink counter. She walked out of the bathroom towards the light switch and switched off the lights. She shuffled warily towards her bed and yawned. The Tetsusaiga aren't that bad. Even the girls seem to be more relaxed. She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes. She drowned in the blackness of sleep. "OW!"

Kagome and Sesshoumaru woke up at the same time and rushed into the bathroom, thinking the other was hurt. They met up in the bathroom and they widened their eyes. "What are you doing?" They both asked each other at the same time. "Nothing." They also said at the same time. Kagome blushed while Sesshoumaru turned a very light shade of pink. Kagome looked up, her blush under control again and asked, "Honestly. Why did you get up?" Sesshoumaru shrugged and said, "Thought you fell off your bed." Kagome grinned. "I thought that too." Sesshoumaru heard laughter coming from Raiyne's room. "I guess it has something to do with Raiyne and Inuyasha." Kagome nodded, all of a sudden tired.

To Kagome's surprise, and Sesshoumaru too, he lifted Kagome into his arms and took her into her room and gently laid her down. He lifted the blanket and tucked it under her chin like a little child. All that time, Kagome lost control of her blush, again. She mumbled a 'thank you' and Sesshoumaru mumbled a 'goodnight'. She closed her eyes and instantly fell sound asleep. Sesshoumaru sighed and shook his head, wondering why he was showing affections to this slip of a human girl. He re-entered his room and laid down. He too fell sound asleep.

In the Morning

Kagome woke up and opened the bathroom door, intending to wash up for breakfast. She started to scream but was immediately shut up by Sesshoumaru's ultimately fast demon reflexes and speed. Kagome blushed hotly. "So…rry," mumbled Kagome. She turned to leave but Sesshoumaru held her back. "I'm finished." Kagome nodded and grabbed her toothbrush, still looking down and blushing. Sesshoumaru turned around, shaking his head. He changed slowly, not in any rush to get to breakfast.

Kagome quickly brushed her teeth and hair and washed her face. She was so hungry! She went into her room and dressed in an orange halter-top and an orange skirt with white strips horizontally. She rushed down stairs. When she reached the table, everyone was so silent and they were staring at Mr. Kimiko. "What? It's true!" said Alexander. Kagome shook her head and said, "He was talking about the grand-children right?" Everyone nodded their heads. She laughed.

In Raiyne's room with the cute Couple

Inuyasha woke up and saw nothing but white. He blushed and looked down at Raiyne's peaceful looking face. Raiyne opened her silvery-blue eyes and stared intensely into Inuyasha's golden amber eyes. "Uh… Hi?" said Raiyne, smiling. "Hey…" said Inuyasha, grinning. Raiyne unwrapped her wings from Inuyasha and herself and sat up, stretching. "Well, that was a nice nap!" exclaimed Raiyne. Inuyasha sat up too and watched intently at Raiyne who was stretching on the ground. Raiyne walked up to Inuyasha and said, "Thanks for admiring." She walked into the bathroom, leaving a surprised hanyou to contemplate his mixed thoughts. Why do I always stare at her and embarrass herself. Though I do admit, I don't have much experience with me dumping every girl that I did date.

He got up and walked into the bathroom, forgetting that Raiyne was in there. He froze when he saw her and she stared at him in shock. Luckily, she was only washing her face, her wings firmly wrapped around her clothed body. "Uh… Aren't you supposed to knock before you come rushing in?" asked Raiyne, amused. "You're lucky I'm not naked." Inuyasha gulped and blushed again furiously. He silently walked out. "Shit!" cursed Inuyasha. "Why am I so clumsy around her?" Raiyne walked in. "Maybe because… you like me?" Raiyne laughed at her folly, while Inuyasha turned, once again, into a tomato. "Come on."

By the time the couple got down, Sango, Ayame and Kagome were cleaning up, while Miroku and Kouga were bickering over the control of the remote. Raiyne went into the kitchen and opened the fridge door. "Inuyasha? You want some eggs?" Inuyasha followed Raiyne and looked over her slender shoulder. "Sure. Can I have ramen too?" Raiyne tuned around. "If you make it yourself." Kagome handed a ramen bowl and a kettle to Inuyasha. "Here." Raiyne fried some eggs while Inuyasha waited impatiently for his ramen. When his ramen was finished, he ripped the whole half opened lid off and grabbed a pair of chopsticks that Sango was holding, mumbled a 'thank you' and dug into his bowl. He was swallowing his ramen like he was being starved for weeks. He slowly sat down at the table.

Raiyne walked over to Inuyasha and the table with her plate of scrambled eggs and said, "God! Slow down before you choke and die!" Sango and Kagome laughed at Inuyasha and his antics. Miroku and Kouga walked over to them to see what was so funny and shook their heads laughing. Sango and Kagome toppled over when Ayame came into the kitchen with wide eyes. Sesshoumaru finally came down and said, "Inuyasha will never slow down." Inuyasha choked on the soup. Sesshoumaru came over to Inuyasha and slapped him on the back. Raiyne placed her plate in the sink and took Inuyasha's ramen bowl and threw it away.

Alexander came into the kitchen. "Sango, Raiyne. You girls should practice your lacrosse before tomorrow's try-outs" Raiyne and Sango scrambled out of the kitchen and hurried out into the garage. Inuyasha looked at Raiyne's father. "Lacrosse? They play lacrosse?" Alexander smiled. "Of course. Raiyne has played since she could hold a stick. You can try-out too. It's a mix team." "Sure. Thanks. Kouga, Miroku? You guys coming?" asked Inuyasha, eagerly. Miroku and Kouga both nodded. "Go into the garage. You guys have plenty of time to get some pads and stuff," said Alexander.

Miroku, Kouga and Inuyasha headed outside to the garage, where the two girls were rummaging through their pads and sticks. "Finally!" shouted Sango, triumphantly. She held up her most prized possession, her championship winning stick, great in balance and weight. Raiyne kept looking and found her game winning stick. "Yes!" Raiyne looked at the guys. "You guys want to play lacrosse too?" They nodded. "Well, I guess we have sticks for you guys, but you guys would never fit into our pads," said Sango. "Luckily, I brought my keys out," said Raiyne. The five teenagers went to Raiyne's car and got in.

Raiyne obviously sat in the driver's seat with Sango as her right hand girl. The three guys sat in the back, a bit cramped. "Where's the nearest National, Sango?" inquired Raiyne, eyes still on the road. Sango shoved Raiyne's wings out of her face. "First of all, can you please retract your wings? They're bugging the hell out of me right now." Raiyne stopped backing out of the driveway and went into the house. She came back with no more wings and halo. "Ok," panted Raiyne. Anyone could clearly see the pain on her face. "Where?" "Near Yonge and Sheppard," replied Sango, concern evident in her voice. Raiyne drove for a half an hour and stopped in a parking lot.

They entered the store and the guys tried on a couple of pads before they got the right fit. They quickly bought it and headed back to the mansion, impatient to play some lacrosse. When they got to the house they set up the nets and picked up their sticks. They didn't wear their pads because they didn't need it. "So, what are the teams?" asked Miroku. Sango stepped up. "Me and Raiyne against you, Kouga and Inuyasha," stated Sango, fully confident. Raiyne nodded with approval. "Fine. We're going to kick your butts though," taunted Kouga. "Yeah right," said Raiyne. "We start since you guys have the player advantage. And no goalies," said Sango. Raiyne started off with the ball. She quickly headed towards the guys with Raiyne on the opposite side, slightly behind her. Sango easily diqued (is that how you spell it?) Miroku and side stepped Kouga. She couldn't get past Inuyasha though. "Sango, right here!" Sango passed it to Raiyne, who was standing a metre from the net and whipped it into the empty net.

Sango and Raiyne high-fived and quickly put up their defence. Inuyasha had the ball. He passed it to Kouga who dodged Sango and neatly shot it at the net. "Too slow of a shot!" cried Raiyne, who intercepted the shot to the net and quickly ran to the opposite net, completely deserted. But Kouga wasn't about to be bested. He quickly covered the space between him and Raiyne with his demon speed. Raiyne sensed Sango's presence behind her and cried, "Sango! Catch!" Sango lifted her lacrosse stick and caught it. Miroku dashed towards her and tried checking her but she already passed it to Raiyne again. She caught it with as much grace as possible from a girl who was falling. She was checked roughly by Kouga. Raiyne fell on her behind. "Ow!" Sango came up to Kouga. "Hey! This is pavement you know! That's totally a penalty." Kouga sighed. "Fine."

Kouga walked over to his team net and crouched a bit. Raiyne had started half way, ready to start her penalty shot. "Go!" Raiyne came in fast. She stopped abruptly, which caught Kouga off guard and she whipped it into the top left corner. "And it's a goal for Raiyne!" cried Kagome, coming out of the house. Sesshoumaru and Ayame came out too. "Who's winning?" asked Ayame. Sango and Raiyne grinned. "We are! Two, zip." Ayame hugged both girls and cried, "Girls rule!" "Yeah, we know!"
