Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 12: One Hot Day………

Kagome woke up startled in the middle of the night. She played around with her ring as she remembered what had happened in the dream.

DREAM MODE

Kagome and Sesshomaru were sitting next to eachother in the tall grass. The sky was the purest blue, and the trees swayed to and fro with the sturdy mountains at the horizon. They had already gotten married, because she had a new ring, her wedding ring around her finger. Kagome looked up at him and he looked at her. No matter what happened, they would always be together. Kagome looked behind her and saw a huge sword coming to Sesshomaru. Her throat was caught even when she tried to tell him to watch out, and her legs where stuck onto the grass. She couldn't move a thing. TWACK. The sword slashed through the middle of Sesshomaru as he slumped to the ground. "Sesshomaru!" she screamed. She stroked his face gently as she felt his faint breathing. His beautiful silver hair was splattered in red blood. "Sesshomaru! Please don't leave me!" she sobbed.

"I………love……………you…………" he said with his last ounce of strength.

"NO! Sesshomaru!" she called out to him as his faint breathing came to an end. She sobbed onto his chest. She looked up and saw a smirking Inuyasha with a certain priestess.

"Hah. I knew you wouldn't be able to move with that spell I put on you." She said. Kagome glared at her and wanted to kill her on the spot.

"Why, Inuyasha? Why did you do this to me?" Kagome asked him with tears streaming down her face.

"You needed to wake up from that fantashim with tears streaming down her face.

"You needed to wake up from that fantasy of yours like you made me wake up from mine. I loved you Kagome, but you left me for him." He said while pointed to the corpse of her spouse. "You deserved this………….." he said while he and Kikyo faded away and left her to sob next to her dead husband.

END DREAM MODE.

Kagome started walking toward Sesshomaru's room. She didn't want to make love to him until after their wedding, even though she urged to do every night. How could I resist? Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome opened the door quietly and Sesshomaru started to wake up slowly.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Sesshomaru said drowsily. Kagome took a deep breath.

"Is it all right if I sleep with you tonight. I have trouble sleeping." Kagome said while twirling her fingers around. Sesshomaru nodded and moved over on his King sized bed and she slipped in. His strong arms embraced her.

"Thank you Sesshy. I love you."

"I love you Kagome." Soon after they held eachother in their embraced, sleep overtook them both for the rest of the night.

------------------------------0--------------------------0--------------------------------------------0---

"Kagome! Kagome! Rin wants you!" Rin cried out. Kagome woke up quickly and remembered that she was sleeping in Sesshomaru's room. She looked over at him and saw he was fast asleep. Look at how peaceful he looks……… she thought. She climbed off his bed and opened the door to see a smiling Rin.

"Rin is happy Kagome is here! Rin wants to know why Kagome was in Sesshomaru's room." Rin said. Kagome started to blush. What am I supposed to tell her! Kagome thought.

"Ummmmmm, why don't we go have breakfast?" Kagome asked her. Rin nodded and siled and almost dragged Kagome to the table. When breakfast was being served, Sesshomaru came to the table, next to a grumbling grandfather. Sota was hurrying to get to school on time. Kagome's mom was letting KAgome stay home from school today, but she had to go to school the next day.

"Bye, everybody!" Sota shouted. Rin and Shippo waved and Sota scurried outside.

--------------------------0-------------------------------0--------------------------------------0----------------

Nobody expected it to be this hot today. It was in the ninetys, almost up to the hundreds! Ring, Ring! Kagome got up from the couch with Sesshomaru and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she said.

"HEY, Kagome! Glad you're feeling better! It must be horrible having luekemia." I'm going to KILLL HIM! Kagome thought. "I was wondering if you wanted to come to the pool with me!" KAgome's friend said.

"Wait. It's one o clock. Wh aren't you in school?" Kagome asked her.

"I tricked my mom into thinking I was sick and she left for work. She won't be back until about ten tonight. What do ya say?"

"Okay. I;m going to bring some friends, k?"

"Great! See you at two thirty!" the phone went dead.

"Who was that?" Sesshomaru asked her, flipping through the channels.

"One of my friends. Her name is Sandy, and she invited us to her house to go into her pool. Come on we gotta hurry. Shippo! Rin!" Rin and Shippo looked over to her. "Come on we gotta go shopping!" KAgome dragged Sesshomaru out the door while Rin and Shippo followed them.

"What's shopping?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"Oh, you'll see." Kagome said to him.

-----------------0------------------------0----------------------------0------------------

"I'm not coming out." Sesshomaru said to her. KAgome sighed.

"Come on! Come out! I want to see you." KAgome insisted. Rin ran out to KAgome.

"Rin liked this one!" Rin sqealed. Rin was wearing a pink one piece bathing suit with red flowers on it.

"Oh, you look so nice in it." Kagome said. Rin smiled.

"Where is Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked KAgome.

"He's being Stubborn and he's not getting out of the dressing room." KAgome replied. Rin ran up to his dressing room and opened the door. Sesshomaru was in a black speedo. (oh, he's so hot, he would look so good in it. NOW, stop drooling!)

"Kagome!" Sesshomaru screamed. A few girls whistled and a few men growled in envy.

"Oh my god, you look so good in it." Shippo came out in a green swimsuit and started laughing at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru started to growl. "Come on, let me buy this and lets go. It's almost two o clock." Kagome said.

"Rin wants to know why Kagome hasn't gotten a swim suit." Rin said.

"Oh, i have one with me." Kagome replied as they walked out the store.

-----------------0---------------------0--------------------------0------------

"Hey, Sandy!" KAgome screamed. A girl laying on a blue chair looked at her and ran up to her.

"Oh my gosh, KAgome! I missed you so much!" Rin and Shippo came out behind Kagome.

"This is Shippo and this is Rin." Kagome intruduced to them. "Sesshomaru! Come out!"

"No!"

"Yes!" Kagome walked over to him and pushed him to Sandy with only his Speedo.

"Oh, look at you!" Sandy said. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.

"Come on, Sesshy! Let's go into the pool." Kagome said. Rin and Shippo were playing with Sandy on the pool already.

"No, you have humiliated me enough."

"Oh, come on, please?" Kagome gave him her best puppy eyes.

"Okay i'll---" Sesshomaru started, but KAgome pushed him into the pool. He growled at her. "Why aren't you in here?"

"Wait I need to change!" KAgome ran into the house while Sesshomaru went to go and play with Rin. Suddenly Sesshomaru's jaw dropped and he looked like he was going to drool. Kagome came out with a navy blue bikini.

"What?" Kagome asked him. He was still staring at her. Kagome swam to him. "What is it!"Kagome asked. Sesshomaru snapped back into reality.

"You look nice in that, Kagome." Sesshomaru said quietly. Kagome went up to him and kissed him, and he slowly returned the kiss. Kagome broke away.

"Thank you." she said slyly, leaving Sesshomaru confused. Sesshomaru got out of the pool and laid down on one of the chairs and soon feel asleep. Sandy nudged Kagome.

"Do you think we should wake him up?" Sandy asked her. Kagome smiled.

"No, it's okay, just leave him there. He'll regret it soon enough." Kagome told her. Sandy shrugged andswam back to Rin andShippo.

---------------0----------------------0----------------------0-------------------

"Rin had a great time!" Rin squealed. They were walking back home. The sun was setting, and they had been in Sandy's house for hours. Shippo nodded in agreement.

"I had a great time too." Kagome said. She looked up at Sesshomaru. "How about you, Sesshy? Did you have a good time?"

"Well, NO!I am red! And'sunburned' or whateveryou toldmeit was! Everything hurts!" Sesshomaru yelled. Kagome shrugged.

"Wait until you start peeling!"

"WHAT!"

"Come on, let's hurry and maybe we'llbehome for dinner ontime." Kagome said, as she ran after two children bursting with energy.
