Chapter Two:
Kagome kept her eyes on her drink, berating herself for staring. Baka Kagome. Why'd you have to look at him? She mentally screamed to herself. She could feel his gold eyes still on her. Trying to play it off, Kagome's eyes swept the dance floor again, looking for Eri, but out of the corner of her eye, she was looking at the man again.
She saw him getting up and her heart sped when she saw that he was approaching her. Turning away from him, Kagome tried to keep her attention on finding Eri.
"Dance with me,"
The voice was soft, melodic. Kagome whirled around to find the silver-haired man next to her. Her breathing increased as she stared into the pools of molten gold that transfixed her. His eyes danced as she continued to stare at him. He proffered his hand to her, waiting for her answer.
Almost shyly, Kagome slipped her hands into his and allowed him to drag her onto the dance floor. Immediately, Kagome was pressed against the hot bodies that were already on the dance floor and it did not help that the man suddenly pressed his body up against hers. Swaying his body in beat with the tempo of the music, Kagome couldn't help but shiver slightly and began to sway with him.
A faster rhythm demanded faster actions by the couple and pretty soon, sweat covered Kagome's rapidly heating body. A fine sheen over her skin made it glow the multiple colored lights that lit the dance floor. When the song finally ended, Kagome was slightly out of breath as she came off the dance floor and back to the bar. The mysterious man followed her.
Kagome ordered some water to help quench the dryness in her mouth. As she was waiting, Kagome noticed the man was not sweating or breathing faster than normal.
"How are you able to stand it?" she asked.
The man raised a questioning eyebrow.
"The heat," Kagome pointed out. "You must have a really high tolerance of heat...um..sorry, didn't catch your name."
"I am Sesshoumaru," the man answered.
"Pleased to meet you, Sesshoumaru-san," Kagome said. "I am Higurashi Kagome."
"The pleasure is all mine," Sesshoumaru said quietly, taking her hand and kissing it.
Kagome blushed ten shades of red and pulled her hand back.
"Uh, I have to go find my friend," Kagome said.
"Do you find my company detestable?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"No," Kagome said quickly. "I-We have to go."
"The night is still young," Sesshoumaru said in the voice that made Kagome shiver. "Dance with me."
Kagome started to shake her head. "I really have to-," she started.
Sesshoumaru leaned in closer to her, staring deeply into her eyes. Kagome lost all thoughts when she saw those captivating eyes.
"Honor me with one more dance," Sesshoumaru whispered, and surprisingly, Kagome found that she could hear him despite the loud music that spilled forth.
Leaning back, Sesshoumaru offered his hand to her again and this time, Kagome took it without hesitation. He pulled her up to him and spun her so that her back was to him. Pressing his body up to hers, he reveled in the feel of her soft form against him.
Kagome closed her eyes as she leaned back into Sesshoumaru's muscular body and allowed him to encircle her waist. Kagome could feel his breath against her cheek as they danced, a whisper of air that seemed to caress her skin.
Sesshoumaru could smell the delicate scent Kagome's hair gave off as he held her close. It was faint, but he could detect the familiar smell he knew so well. It had been 500 years since he last caught that scent and now, here it was again. I have found you, Midoriko. Sesshoumaru thought. His arms tightened around her instinctively.
"I will never let you go," he whispered, so low that Kagome didn't hear him.
Kagome felt someone tapping her should and opened her eyes.
"Hey, dance with me," a young man with dark brown hair and a haughty smiled said.
Kagome looked at him skeptically. "I'll have to decline," Kagome said.
The young man was taken aback. No one had dared to refuse him before. It seemed that all the girls wanted a piece of him. He was Akiyo Matomori, one of Japan's most eligible bachelors. Women would throw themselves at his feet, doing anything he requested of them and yet here was a woman who was not interested. He was in a state of shock, to say the least.
"What?" he demanded.
"I'll have to decline," Kagome repeated, patiently.
Sesshoumaru shot a death glare to Akiyo but refrained from using his power lest he should cause a scene.
"No woman has ever said 'no' to me," Akiyo said, through clenched teeth.
"Then I'll be the first," Kagome said, getting angry.
Unwrapping Sesshoumaru's hands from her, she took one and started to lead him away from Akiyo, but Akiyo wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. His arm shot out and grabbed Kagome's arm.
"Let go," Kagome said.
"Not until you give me what I want," Akiyo said, tightening his grip for emphasis.
Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed with anger at this mortal's insolence towards Kagome. He let go of Kagome's hand and placed his own on Akiyo's arm.
"She said let go," Sesshoumaru said.
"Hey, who do you think you are Mr. Hot-Shot?" Akiyo demanded, "You obviously don't know who I am."
"Should I know who you are?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Bastard, I am Akiyo Matomori," Akiyo announced haughtily.
"Am I supposed to be impressed?" Sesshoumaru asked, bored with dealing with this mortal.
"Not you," Akiyo said. "Her."
Kagome looked at him. She certainly wasn't impressed by his overdramatic display of his ego. Rolling her eyes, she sought to pull away from Akiyo, but his grip held firm. However, Sesshoumaru added slight pressure and Akiyo cried out in pain. He loosened his grip immediately.
"Shit," he cursed.
Holding his arm, he turned to see Kagome and Sesshoumaru walking to another place in the club. This isn't over. He said mentally. Not by a long shot. Bastard over there thinks he can steal that babe from me. Not likely.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru stood over by one of the many tables that were scattered throughout the club.
"Arigatou, Sesshoumaru-san," Kagome said.
Sesshoumaru shrugged it off. "He does not know who he is dealing with," Sesshoumaru said. "He overstepped the boundary."
Kagome was about to ask what he meant but Eri decided to show up.
"Having fun, Kags?" Eri asked.
Kagome nodded. "Let's go, Eri. I still need to finish my designs," Kagome said.
"Fine," Eri said, not bothering to hid the disappointment in her voice.
"Arigatou for the dance, Sesshoumaru-san," Kagome said, bowing slightly to Sesshoumaru as Eri dragged her off.
"Who was he?" Eri asked, as they made their way to the car.
"His name is Sesshoumaru," Kagome said.
"He is hot!" Eri said.
Kagome rolled her eyes at her friend. "Eri," she said.
"Hey, I'm just stating the obvious," Eri said.
Kagome smiled to herself. He was kind of cute. She thought to herself. And his eyes… Just thinking about his eyes gave Kagome a shiver. His eyes seemed to peer right into her soul.
"We should go back," Eri said.
"What?" Kagome said.
"I know you want to see him again," Eri teased.
"Eri!" Kagome said, blushing a little.
"I knew it, you do want to see him again," Eri said gleefully.
"I-I do not," Kagome defended.
"Oh yeah? Then why are you blushing?" Eri asked.
"I-it was hot in the club," Kagome said, making an excuse.
"Sure," Eri said, sarcastically.
Kagome blushed even more, causing Eri to giggle uncontrollably.
"Aw, does Kagome-chan have a boyfriend," Eri teased.
"Shut up," Kagome growled.
Eri laughed the rest of the way home. Going up stairs, Eri started to sing,
"Kagome's got a boyfriend,"
Kagome shook her head. So childish. She thought. But she has a point. Sesshoumaru would make a really great…No! Don't think like that. You only just met him. Yeesh. Shaking her head, Kagome followed her friend upstairs, thinking about the night she just had with Sesshoumaru.
Author's Note: Another chapter is completed. Hopefully is didn't suck too much. I'll explain how Sesshoumaru managed to get from Transylvania to Japan in the later chapters. Hopefully you like this chapter!
Read and Review. Arigatou!
