Chp.17 What if we had met before….

Ah! What to wear! Kagome frantically threw up clothes in frustration. She had never really thought of what she wore around Sesshomaru. Did he like conservative? Elegant? Fun? Sexy? Arrrghh. She plopped on her bed and looked over at the time…12:00.

Suddenly she heard a tap on the door. She crossed the room to open the door…and suddenly her mouth was extremely dry again. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway. A robe tied around his lean body. Drops of water ran down his muscled tan skin that begged Kagome to explore where it let. Her anger seeped away.

"..y-yeah?" said Kagome trying to keep her eyes on his face.

"My hair is insufferable when it is wet . I need help brushing it. My maids usually do this…but since they are not here…"

"Oh! Yeah. Come in…I'll help you…just sit next to the bed"

Like always he gracefully walked to the side edge and sat down. His hair was long and wet and she could see his whole face now. He was really attractive but he had a little sadness behind those golden eyes.

Kagome walked to a drawer near her closet and took out a brush. She walked to the bed and sat. Sesshomaru moved so she could reach him easier. Kagome began brushing, making sure not to brush against his pointed ears. It was so soft and silver. Like silver liquid in her hands. Like spiders silk.

Sesshomaru suppressed his urge to shudder as she ran her hands in his hair. The tension between them was thick like syrup. Kagome stopped brushing and sat in silence. It was so tense that no one even spoke…..Finally Sesshomaru cleared his throat.

"I'm done" said Kagome quietly.

Sesshomaru got up to leave even though she knew she wasn't done brushing. He was slightly relieved to go. His robe did not really conceal his arousal. Sesshomaru cursed himself. He could not trust a human! Why did she seem to break thorough to him?

Kagome still held the brush in her hand as she laid on the bed after Sesshomaru left. Her thought mulled through so many things. What if she had met Sesshomaru before she had met Inuyasha? How would her relationship have been with both the brothers if it had been the other way around. Kagome looked at the clock next to the bed…..12:30…and she still had yet to pick out what to wear….

I wrote this really fast! This was a make up for not updating the other day. . -QN
