Summary: Kagome worked in a small, boring diner. She was a waitress for a handsome man, who offered her a better job with his company...Her past has come back to haunt her. She's being chased by strange people. But why now?
Disclaimer: After all these chapters I still don't own Inuyasha.
Last time:
"Ah..." Kagome stuttered. She wanted to ask Rin if she and Sesshoumaru were an item. They certainly didn't look related. And if they were dating, Kagome would box his ears in. She's a minor. He's what! 23 years old and she's 14!
And just as if Rin had read her mind she opened her mouth. "Just tell me where you want to go. Sesshy's my older brother, he'll take us." Rin said.
"Brother?" Kagome whispered to herself.
"How about we go to that new French restaurant downtown." Rin suggested.
"Isn't that expensive?" Kagome asked.
"Sesshy can afford it." Rin replied. And soon they were on there way downtown.
Chapter NineKagome felt a little uncomfortable in the car ride to the restaurant. Rin was the only one doing the talking. She was a charming child; she had big brown eyes that showed the world her feelings. She had long brown hair that curved her face. Kagome should have realized by their looks that they weren't related.
Kagome heard Rin talking but wasn't sure as to what she was saying. Kagome was paying attention to Sesshoumaru. She faced the road ahead, but out of the corner of her eyes Kagome watched him.
He did everything so wonderfully. The way he held the steering wheel. The way his hair blew in the wind of the open window. The way his strong hand came up to brush away a strand of hair out of his eyes.
Kagome shook her head. To obsessive Kagome!
"Kagome did you hear me?" Rin's voice broke her silence. Sesshoumaru turn to glance at her.
"Sorry Rin, what?" Kagome said with a slight blush. Sesshoumaru's eyes were so beautiful.
"You want to come shopping with me? I need a dress for the Semi-formal dance." Rin asked. "Please? I could use a woman's opinion. It's kinda hard to go shopping with Sess?"
"Really why?" Kagome asked teasingly. Sesshoumaru developed a slight blush, barely visible, on his face.
"He's a little too picky about what I wear. He never lets me buy the things my friends are buying." Rin whined.
"If it's okay with Sesshy, over there." Kagome said to loosen her nervousness around Sesshoumaru.
Sesshomaru just looked at her. She just called him 'Sesshy' the nickname Rin had given him. No one ever called him that and got away with it. This woman was surprisingly different.
She was beautiful. Sesshoumaru thought to himself. Today she was wearing a work suit. Which didn't quite suit her. She belonged in silks and satin as soft as her skin. What was he doing? It was obvious that she wasn't interested in him. She had a date with Inuyasha tonight.
"Well I hope you don't mind if Rin and I go out shopping. Just us girls." Kagome's voice broke his concentration. "Your welcome to join us if you like."
Rin and Kagome laughed when Sesshoumaru gave Kagome an unusual stare.
"No, Thanks." Sesshoumaru said in a tight voice.
"Suit yourself, Sesshy." Rin said when she managed to quiet down.
They made it to the little restaurant within ten minutes. The place was quiet considering there were many people for lunch.
They waited at the doors until a tall handsome waiter came over and guided them to a table. He handed them menus and told them he would be back to get their orders.
Rin chatted about school and how there was a new guy. She went on about how cute he was. Kagome wasn't paying full attention to her.
Sesshoumaru was unsurprisingly quiet during the meal. He watched his two female companions. He glanced at Rin every now and then. He looked at Kagome and watched her. He watched her every movement, like the way she chewed her food. The way she swallowed it. The way she smiled and laughed at Rin.
There was something about her that caught Sesshoumaru's eye.
They finished the meal and ordered dessert. Rin and Kagome shared a banana split, both not wanting too many calories. Sesshoumaru just ordered tea.
The waiter came by with the bill and Rin excused herself to go to the restroom.
"I'll be right back, I need to go to the girls room." Rin said.
After Sesshoumaru paid the bill. It was just the two of them. The silence between them being awkward.
Seshoumaru kept glancing around for Rin, who was taking a long time.
"I think I'll go see if Rin is all right. She's been gone a while." Kagome sat and got up when Sesshoumaru nodded his head.
She made her way to the girl's room and as she turned the corner the waiter came up to her.
"Hi, sweet thing." He said and held her elbow.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked and wenched her arm out of his hand.
"I was wondering if you want to go on a date with me." He said.
"No thanks." Kagome replied quickly and started to go back to her seat with Sesshoumaru.
"Why not?" he said grabbing both of her arms. "You can ditch Mr. Hotshot out there. He isn't as good as I am." He said getting closer to her.
"Let go of me." She said firmly, but not loud enough to make a scene.
Sesshoumaru heard it with his superior hearing, and got up out of his seat. He rounded the corner and saw Kagome. Instantly he was enraged. He grabbed the man off of Kagome and threw him to the ground.
Kagome gasped and stood behind Sesshoumaru. Rin came out of the washroom when she heard the loud crash.
"What's going on here?" She asked and before she knew it she was being hauled away by Sesshoumaru.
He grabbed her left arm and Kagome's right and dragged them to the front doors.
"Let's go." He said in a low and deep voice.
The manager came running out to inspect the area. He saw customers talking loudly and then saw Kagome and Sesshoumaru attempting to walk out of the doors.
"Wait! Wait, Sir!" He called out. When Sesshoumaru stopped and looked back he continued. "I'm Tonu Hoag. Manager of the restaurant."
Before the man could finish Sesshoumaru interjected.
"This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to, and don't count on finding me here again." He said.
Kagome gasped. "You don't have to stop coming here on my account." She told him after hearing his statement.
"This is not because of you!" Sesshoumaru said to her coldly.
"Oh..." She said blushing a little. Why then? She thought to herself.
Sesshoumaru ignored the protests of the manager, about it being an honor having the Inutashio's in his restaurant.
They got into the car and Sesshoumaru took Rin back to school and drove back to work.
It was uncomfortable in the car ride back to work. They both walked into the building together but went separate ways to their offices.
Sesshoumaru groaned when he walked into his office and shut the door.
"What is wrong with me?" he said to himself.
