Eyes Like Yours

Disclaimer: Do I own Inuyasha? YES! I mean, of course not, NO, I don't. No matter how deliciously sexy he might become in my future chapters, I don't own him, or his body.
Come ON, for me to say this is a big accomplishment!
-Hears faint applause in the background-
HEY! No need for the sarcasm!

Chapter 5
Kagome watched the deep brown liquid drip down his face and onto his expensive suit. She'd never been more mortified in her whole life.
Despite her embarrassing situation, only one thought resounded in her head.
Was this the same Inuyasha?
Then an obvious answer echoed.
How many Inuyasha's could there possibly be?
Instantly kicking back into gear, she got up from the table as quickly as she could, and picked up the nearby napkins. She got down on her knees in front of him, and wiped his face with the napkins using her left hand.
As she blindly reached for more napkins with her right hand, she accidentally knocked over his piping hot coffee, which flooded all over his suit pants.
When the hot liquid came in contact with his clothes, and then soaked through, he politely got up and excused himself. Kagome remained in her position on the floor, and covered her face with her hands.
I tried to help, and look; I've made things so much worse…
Sighing, and feeling utterly embarrassed, she decided to wipe up the spilt coffee, and leave. The last thing she wanted to do was make more foolish mistakes which would make her look worse than she already did.
Grabbing the metal napkin dispenser, she pulled them out by the dozen, and got to work.
XxXx
In the bathroom, Inuyasha locked himself into one of the stalls. He immediately removed his pants, and began to jump up and down. The scalding hot liquid did nothing good for his sensitive skin and organs in-between his legs.
Fanning out the pants in hopes that they would cool, he leant against the stall,and closed his eyes.
For some strange reason, his "dream girl" didn't act this clumsy when he was sleeping. But for some unknown reason, he didn't mind. He still liked her, and wanted to know her better. In fact, he found the situation hilarious, and began to laugh.
After his laughter subsided, he sighed, and allowed more weight to fall against the stall door. Hearing a creaking, he moaned as the door swung open as he was sent back-first onto the cold, dirty, cement floor.
Luck seems to be on my side today, he grumbled sarcastically.
When the door to the men's washroom opened, he noticed a middle aged man walk in and look at him disgustingly. After all, Inuyasha was on the floor with his pants off, and underwear visible for anyone to see.
Inwardly, he groaned, and got up with a certain amount of effort.
Inuyasha relived the fiasco in his mind, and nearly kicked himself, if he didn't hurt so much already.
What the hell had he been doing with the girl? Taking her face in his hands, as if she were his lover, or girlfriend? He had Kikyo, and here he was, flirting with this girl from his dreams!
Something told him that later tonight he would get mauled, if Kikyo found out.
Aw damn it all to hell, he thought. Kikyo was a conceited bitch that only cared about herself. It didn't matter what he did anymore; he knew she'd been cheating with Naraku for quite some time now anyway.
Reluctantly putting back on his wet and now dirty suit pants, he walked out of the washroom with his head held high. He would tell the girl that it was an accident, and that it really didn't matter to him. His pants could be washed, and they would be as good as new once again.
Making his way to the back of the café, he found the mess to be gone, as well as the girl. The only traces he could find of her were a note she'd scribbled down.
It said:
Dear Inuyasha,
I'm really sorry for what happened; and to be honest, nothing so embarrassing has ever happened to me in my whole life.
I'll keep out of your way from now on, don't worry. I wont even bother doing the photo shoot…I don't think I could face you again. I've made a complete fool of myself, and quite frankly, I feel sick to my stomach.
I hope you understand my uncomfortable situation.
Sincerely,
Kagome Higurashi
Photo shoot? Now he was confused.
Then things clicked.
So Kagome, the girl from his dreams, was the one that was supposed to do the photo shoot? And now, according to her note, she wasn't going to do it anymore?
Inuyasha had the audacity to moan out loud, and cover his head with his hands.
This is horrible, terrible…how can I get her back?
A part of his brain yelled at him,
Go chase her, you IDIOT!
And he decided to take up that offer.
Leaving a $10 bill on the counter, he ran out of the café as fast as he could. After he'd exited, he looked to his left and right, seeing her vague form running in the distance.
He chased after it, his eyes focusing on her green and white school uniform.
Kagome stopped, her backpack proving to be too heavy to continue her run. Slowing down to a walk, she waited for the lights to change so she could cross the street.
When she was roughly turned around, her eyes involuntarily stared into the ones she was trying to avoid.
Inuyasha's.

Rin sat at the edge of the pool, dangling her toes into the edge as she watched Yura flirt with one of the male swimmers.
Sighing dejectedly, she looked over to the Lifeguard's station, and hung her head.
She hadn't seen Sesshoumaru all day, even though she knew today was one of his usual shifts. Rin had paid close attention to when he worked, so she could conveniently show up whenever he was around.
In her eyes, she wasn't stalking; she was merely crushing on a hot, and hopefully single guy.
Gazing at the entrance, a big smile appeared on her face when she saw him walk inside the pool area.
He walked over to one of the other lifeguards, and began to chat with him for a moment, before returning to his post.
Noticing the girl with her head hung, but a small smile on her face, he decided to approach her.
"Is something wrong?" he asked out of concern, and slight curiosity, although he would never admit the latter.
He was never one to worry about others; being called cold and emotionless was something he heard on a daily basis from his few friends and family, but he didn't bother listening. It was the truth, after all.
Grudgingly lifting her eyes to his face, she shook her head, avoiding his gaze.
"Obviously something isn't right; normally you have no problems staring at me."
Her shocked and embarrassed expression immediately snapped upwards into his line of vision, and her cheeks burned a tinge of red.
"Now why would you say something so arrogant? Do you have anything to back it up?"
He thought for a moment, and then showed her the "one minute" hand gesture.
"Hikaru," he called over his shoulder.
The other lifeguard he had been talking to earlier trotted over, and crouched down to Sesshoumaru's level.
"Have you seen this girl here before?" He questioned the friendly lifeguard, who always spoke nothing but the truth.
"On several occasions, actually; and by the looks she gives you when your back is turned, I'd say she likes you a lot," he added in.
"Thank you," he replied emotionlessly as the lifeguard "Hikaru," went back to his post.
Rin had never felt so stupid in her life. Glaring heatedly at the retreating figure, she then stared at Sesshoumaru with renewed passion.
"So what if I looked at you a few times? It doesn't mean you're a god, or that I like you."
Without thinking, she got up out of the water, and pushed Sesshoumaru in. His white lifeguard shirt clung to his tanned and muscled chest, making her blush even more profusely.
"So you wanna play like that, huh?" he asked, pulling himself out of the water and onto the deck, where she stood.
Rin began to retreat, and was about to break into a run, but was stopped by his commanding voice.
"Don't forget; we don't run on the deck; you might slip and fall, its dangerous."
Speed-walking as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast, he caught her easily.
"First, you make me prove myself to you. Second, you have the gall to push me into the pool. Third, you try to escape me. What do you plan on doing next, miss spontaneous?"
Rin looked up at him and smirked.
He won't see THIS one coming, either…
Reaching up as fast as lightning, she pulled his face down low, and crushed his lips to her own.
XxXx
Yura had seen everything, and silently applauded Rin for her final action.
This was bound to get his attention, Yura thought as she smirked.
Pulling away from him as if nothing had happened, Rin casually picked up her towel, and signaled to Yura with her hand that she was leaving.
Turning around and smiling wildly at a bewildered Sesshoumaru, she winked and blew him a kiss.
"Until Friday!" she exclaimed to him happily, and danced out of the pool hall.
Friday, happened to be when his next shift was.

Review Notes:
dragongirl1209 – Aw, you're a huge fan of mine? Really? You aren't just saying that, are you? Thank you so much, I'm so flattered! Ahaha, sister alert, eh? I know what that's like, I have a younger brother. Anyways, thank you for your positive review! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Phenomenon – Yes, it was a cliffy! Aren't I evil? I think I left cliffies in this chapter, too! But, please don't cry! It's not a good sign if my reviewers cry…oh my, I don't know what to do…-grabs some extra unused napkins from Kagome and hands them to Pheno- Please don't cry anymore, pretty please? Well, at least I'm glad you laughed at the last part…I laughed at it too! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Lacus32 – Update sooner? Girl, do you have any idea how fast I've been updating? I've put up new chapters every 3-4 days! Can I honestly update any faster? Not really…and normally, updates would only be once every 2 weeks. I think you'll die when that time comes around. Anyway, thanks so much! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Jenkanez – You liked Sesshoumaru as a lifeguard? Ahaha, well you got to see more of that in this chapter! I hoped you liked this, too! I wouldn't call him cute, though. I'd call him incredibly sexy! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Kiwi – YES! You loved my idea! I'm so happy about that! I knew you would love it! I came up with the idea, just for you, Kiwi! –Sniffles- you're my devoted reviewer…I love your reviews! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Small Lady Is Back – Oohhh…so many people think I'm evil for leaving cliffhangers…but what's the fun in writing if I don't? I won't do it ALL the time, just sometimes. At least it makes you want to read the next chapter! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
shadowdemonrock – YAY! You love it! That's such a wonderful thing for my eyes to see and ears to hear! Thank you for brightening up my day! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
nicosheyt – Hurry? O.O why is everyone rushing me…-Sniffles- I've been updating so quickly, much faster than for any other stories I've read, and still people want me to update sooner. Well, I guess you'll just have to wait those excruciatingly 3 to 5 days for a new chapter, now won't you? I think you'll die just like Lacus32 (another one of my reviewers) when my chapters are posted once every 2 weeks! LOL, I'm kidding! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
CuriousC – More than a hobby, Carly? I hope so, but I won't get my hopes stuck on it. Oh, about his home phone number being on his business card…remember, Miroku is a ladies man, even though he's married to Sango. He will be forever harassing other ladies, in any way he can. Another reason why his home phone is on the business card is because if people need to reach him, and they can't on his cell, they'll be able to call his house. Love you Carly! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
I hate stupid peepo – Aw, thanks so much! I think it's cool too…but something tells me later on things will get "hot" later on, LOL! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
silence kills me – It's…cute! Wahhhh, arigatou! (thank you!) Yeah, I'll agree that it seemed a bit obvious about the Inuyasha meeting Kagome thing, but it was an idea from a reviewer, and I decided to go along with it. So sue me! LOL, I'm kidding! I hope you still like it. Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
jessie - Make Kagome less shy and awkward? Ah, that's just temporary, don't worry. She's only shy for now because Inuyasha is intimidating to her, and for hell's sakes, she doesn't even know who he is! And then, he latches onto her…wouldn't YOU be shy, too? I love your suggestion, and don't worry; I was going to make her more outgoing later. You'll see what I mean when the time comes. (And no I didn't stop reading your review…LOL) And yes, I'll take your advice and update at my earliest convenience! Thanks for your wonderful review! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
PaNiPa010 – Aw, I understand your random screeching about your little sister. I know what it's like; I have a younger brother that lives with me at home. He can be really annoying sometimes, but mostly lovable and sweet. Anyway, thanks for the "huge ass propies!" because they mean a lot to me! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Dx2holy – LOL, could you have screamed out "WOO-HOO" any louder? I think I heard it from here! –Grins- Thanks for calling my story cool! As I said before to one of the other reviewers, "something tells me later on things will get "hot" later on," LOL! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
SomeoneInThePastOfEarth – Ah, I see you don't like it when writers use alternate pairings such as, SessKag, InuSan, etc. Well, you won't see any of those in this story! Although, seeing how Yura isn't an original Inuyasha series character, (she's one I made myself, obviously) she'll probably have someone I've created as her "boyfriend" in this fanfiction. Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
jai2133 – An interesting plot…I think so too! Glad to see we think alike! Don't worry, I WILL keep writing, right until the end! I'll update whenever I can… Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
mylovemiroku – Yes, both their dream person! I love it, and seemingly, so do you! Isn't that wonderful! I'm glad you think this story is getting good; I hope I won't disappoint you or other readers/reviewers. Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
KayathePriestess – Embarassing doesn't explain the half of it, in my opinion, LOL! That's never happened to me before, but I could only imagine how unbearable that would be. Yeah, I can see that I've made Inuyasha so polite, and he's sort of OOC (Out Of Character) but that will change, especially during the filming of the commercial, if Kagome decides to do it. I'm glad you think it's funny, I try really hard for the humour… Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
Fanficluv7Inu – Ahhh, everyone keeps telling me to update quickly. Guys, I'm trying my best here, lol. Wow, you think my story is a blast? That's so flattering, thank you so much! Please continue reading and reviewing in the future!
IF I EVER miss an original reviewer (an original reviewer being someone who reviewed BEFORE I posted the next chapter) in a review note, please let me know. That would be awful, and despicable, and I'd re-edit the chapter and add you in immediately.
UNLESS, you wish to NOT be included in my review notes; if that's the case, I'll remove the review note immediately.
A HUGE thank you to everyone!
Until chapter 6!
