Chapter II: the best Valentine's Day ever, part II
Inuyasha stood in front of the Higurashis house. He stared at the flowers and chocolate in his hand. He took a deep breathe and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Higurashi was the one that answer the door.
"Well, hello, Inuyasha. It's so nice to see."
"Hi, Mrs. Higurashi. Is Kikyou home?"
"Yes, she is. Come inside. I'll go get her."
He closed the door and wait for Kikyou to come down. A minute later, she came down.
"Hi, Kikyou."
"What are you doing here?"
"I brought these for you."
She eyed the flowers and candy with disdain.
"You think buying me a few flowers would make it all okay."
"Look, I'm sorry I forgot."
"Have you seen all the presents Sesshoumaru bought Kagome? So don't think I'm going to forgive you just because you buy me a few flowers."
Inuyasha couldn't believe her. She always does this. Every time they got into a fight, she never fails to mention his "perfect" brother and his relationship with Kagome. He was getting sick. He was getting of people comparing him to Sesshoumaru. Why couldn't people accept him just for who he was?
"Well, in case it didn't cross your mind, I'm Inuyasha not Sesshoumaru."
He then turned and left. He got as far as his car.
"Inuyasha…wait." Kikyou said.
"What for? So you can remind me that I'm not my brother."
"No…"
"I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you telling me that I need to be more like Sesshoumaru. I'm sick of my father telling me that I'll never be like Sesshoumaru. I'm sick of my fucking teachers telling me that I'm not as smart as Sesshoumaru. Not responsible as Sesshoumaru. I'm not this. I'm not that. Well, did it ever occur to you fucking people that I'm not my brother and I'll never be? The best I can do is being me. And if that's not good enough for you then fuck you all."
"Inuyasha…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I was just mad. Please forgive me."
"It's alright. It's not the first time anyone ever said that to me. I'm use to it."
"I'm really sorry."
"That's okay. So do you want to go out? "
"Sure."
"God, I'm stuffed."
"I take that you enjoyed your dinner then." Sesshoumaru asked.
"It was delicious. Thank you so much."
"You're quite welcome, my love and I have one more thing for you."
"What is it?"
He reached under the pillow that was lying right to her and pulled out a little square box.
"Open it." He said.
Kagome slowly took it out of his hand and opened it. Inside, laid the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. It was a gold heart-shape locket. The design was truly unique. It the center of the locket was a heart-shape diamond. She opened and found a picture of her and Sesshoumaru on each side. In the back, it say S&K Forever
"It's beautiful."
"I'm glad you like it. It belonged to my mother. She gave it to me before she died and told me to give it to the girl I love."
"Sess…I don't know what to say."
"Just tell that you'll accept my gift."
"Sess…this is a really expensive locket and…I know it must mean a lot to you. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"I'm sure. I want you to have it."
"Thank you."
He took it out of the box and fastened it around her neck. She turned in his arms and kissed him. When they broke apart, they laid down on the pillows. After they ate, they had removed the table so they could cuddle in front of the fire.
"I can't believe you did all this for me."
"You deserved it."
"Kikyou got mad at me because you bought all these things this morning. I think she's going to flip when she sees this necklace."
"Didn't Inuyasha buy her anything?"
"Inuyasha forgot that today was Valentine's Day. She was pretty mad. She said I've always had the better brother."
"At least she knows a good thing when she saw one."
"Sess…" she nudged him playfully.
"What…"
"Inuyasha hates it when people tell him that he's not as good as you."
"Why does he want to be as good as me?"
"Because people always looked up to you. They always praised your achievement. It's hard for him to measure up to you and the people in his life does nothing than remind that. Inuyasha thinks that everything comes naturally to you and as much as he tried, he can never achieve half of things you have done. I guess that's one of the reasons our friendship is so strong. I can relate to that."
"How is that?"
"When I was little, Kikyou and I went to the same school. Everybody wanted to be her friend because she was so cool. I wanted to be so much like so people could like me too. That's when I met Inuyasha. I remembered seeing by the jungle gym. He looked so sad. When I asked him why he was crying, he told me that his brother was sent away, to boarding school, and he had no one to play with. I told him I will be his friend. And we had been friends since then. When we were in six, Inuyasha told me that you call him half-breed. When I ask why. He said that you toll him that his mother was nothing but a slut. If it wasn't for your father's blood, he would have been nothing."
"I was angry that day. That was the day my mother died and I blame Inuyasha for it."
"Inuyasha blamed himself for it to."
"What?"
"He did. He really thought that he had killed your mother. It took me a while to get him to believe that it wasn't his fault."
"I didn't know that."
"There's a lot you don't know about Inuyasha and there's a lot he doesn't know about you, too. And sometimes I feel like I'm the bridge that connects and separates you two."
"How do you do that?"
"I keep you two in check and keep you from killing each other."
Sesshoumaru chuckled and she snuggled closer to his chest. She was about to fallasleep when she heard a knock on the front door. She raised her head and looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Where you expecting someone?" she asked.
He shook his head.
"Stay here. I'll be right back."
"Okay."
He got up to answer the door. It was none other than Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Kikyou.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Can we come in?" Inuyasha asked.
"No."
"Come on, Sesshoumaru. It's snowing outside."
"I don't care."
"Sesshoumaru, who's at the door?" he heard Kagome asked.
"Hey, Kagome." Inuyasha yelled.
"Inuyasha?"
Kagome got up from her spot and walked to the door. Her friends were standing outside.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, Kagome. Tell Sesshoumaru to let us in." Inuyasha said.
"Sess, Let them in, please."
"Fine." He grumped.
He moved out of the door and let the others entered
"Wow…this place looked romantic." Sango remarked.
"What were you two doing anyways?" Miroku asked, slyly.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, pervert." Sango slapped him.
"What do you guys say we watch a movie since it doesn't look it's going to stop snowing any time soon ? So how about it?"
"Do you mind if we watch a movie, Sess?" Kagome asked.
"Knock yourselves out." He said before he left the room.
"What his problem?" Inuyasha shrugged.
"We must have interrupted something important." Miroku smirked.
"Be quiet, you pervert." Sango said.
Kikyou didn't say anything. She was wondering why Sesshoumaru had left the room so suddenly.
"I'm going to the bathroom." She said.
She left Inuyasha and the others in the living room. They didn't even notice her. They were to busy deciding what movie to watch.
Kikyou had been in this house more than once so she knew her way around. Instead of turning left where the bathroom was located, she turned right where Sesshoumaru's room was. The door was slightly ajar. She pushed it opened to reveal Sesshoumaru lying on his bed.
"Sesshoumaru?" she called.
"Get the fuck out of my room, bitch before I decide to remove you."
"Well, aren't we grumpy tonight?" She said.
"What do you want, bitch?"
"It depends. I know my prim-and-proper cousin hasn't slept with you. You must be horny as hell."
"What's it to you?"
"I can give you some."
"Are you offering to sleep with me?"
"Like I said it all depends on you."
What they didn't was that Kagome was standing outside the door. When she saw Kikyou turned the wrong way, she had decided to follow her. She had no idea that she was going to offer herself to her boyfriend.
"Now why would I want to sleep with you when I have Kagome?"
"Kagome would never sleep with you. She's too innocent and the rate you guys are going, you'll be an old man before she gives you a piece."
"FYI, bitch, I'm more interested in Kagome than what's between her legs and if I have to wait forever. I'll gladly do it because I know it'll be worth it. And as for you, I wouldn't sleep with you even if you were the last female on earth and that includes my mother and every other female species on this fucking planet."
"How dare you?"
"How dare I? You're the one who came and my room and offered yourself to me."
"You fucking asshole, you think all that?" she spat.
"I do believe I ask you to leave my room or do I have to throw you out myself."
Kagome quickly ran into the room across Sesshoumaru's before Kikyou came out. She couldn't believe what she just heard. If someone had told her that her cousin was lusting after her own boyfriend, she would have laughed. Kikyou always seemed to be in love with Inuyasha. Oh! God, Inuyasha. He would be devastated if he knew about this. Kagome knew how angry Inuyasha gets when someone compares him to his brother. Since the first time she met the two brothers, she had seen their bitterness and anger toward each other. She never quite understood why. She remembered the time when Inuyasha told her that she was the only true friend he ever had.
Flashback
A fifteen year old Kagome sat on the bleachers. She had just finished with her cheerleading practice and had showered in the girls' locker room. She didn't have this period, so she had come out here and tried to study for her next class. She had a math test and everyone know that math was her least favorite subject. Even though she tried, she couldn't focus at all. All she could think about was her new boyfriend, Sesshoumaru Westerland. When he asked her out two weeks ago, she was so excited. The school star athlete had asked her, Ms. Plain Jane out. She didn't understand why he chose to go out with her than her sexy and beautiful cousin, Kikyou. She thought that it was because Kikyou was dating Inuyasha at the time but when she asked Sesshoumaru, all he said was that he likes genuine things because they were more valuable. She never really understood what he meant.
She was about to leave when she saw Inuyasha coming toward her. They had been friend since they started middle school. She even thought that she had a crush on him. That was until she met his drop-dead gorgeous half bother.
"Hey, Inuyasha. What's up?"
"Not much."
"Why aren't you in class?"
"I left."
"Why?"
"Ms. Keade was telling me that I'll never be good as Sesshoumaru like I haven't heard that before."
"Oh! Inuyasha, don't listen to her. Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you're not as good as your brother."
"But they're right, Kagome. I can never do anything as good as Sesshoumaru. All I ever done is messed things up."
"That's not true."
"Sometimes I think everybody would be happier if I wasn't here."
"I wouldn't. You're my best friend. I'll miss you if you're not here."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Of course, I do."
"You're my best friend too. You're the only one who never compares me to Sesshoumaru. You never judge me and never ask me to be anything that I'm not. You have accepted me for who I am."
"That's what friends are for." She smiled.
"Yeah! I guess you're right. You're the truest friend I've ever had and I hope we'll be friends forever."
"I will always be your friend, Inuyasha. No matter what. I promise."
End of Flashback
From that day forward, they had been the best of friends. Sesshoumaru didn't really like it when she spends time with Inuyasha but he had come to term that they would always be friends and she wasn't going to let anyone or anything break that friendship. But how could she face Inuyasha now that she knows that her cousin was lusting afterhis brother, her boyfriend. She didn't have time to think about that. She needed to talk with Sesshoumaru. She walked out of the room and to her boyfriend's room. He was still lying on the bed. His hands were crossed behind his head. His eyes were closed but she knew he wasn't sleeping. She closed the door behind her.
"Sesshoumaru, are you alright."
"Yes, I'm fine. Come here."
She got on the bed and lay next to him.
"Sesshoumaru, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Does it bother that we don't…have sex?"
He pushed her away. Not hard enough to hurt her.
"Why do you ask?"
"I…"
"You were listening to our conversation, weren't you?"
"I'm sorry…I really didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just wanted to check up on you."
"It's okay. I know you didn't mean any harm. And to answer your question, I don't really mind but sometimes I wish we could."
"Are you really horny?"
He blushed.
"I can't believe you just ask me that."
"Well, are you?"
"Sometimes."
"What do you do?"
"I usually take a cold shower or masturbate."
"You masturbate?"
"Well Gee, Kagome. You don't have to make a sound like a freak. I'm eighteen years old for god sake. What do you want me to do? It's not like I can sleep with someone else and I definitely can't walk around with a hard-on. It's really uncomfortable."
"You could have told me."
"And you'll do what? You'll jerk me off. You'll give me a blow job."
"I don't know. God! Sesshoumaru, I just don't want you to hurt yourself."
"Masturbation isn't painful and sometimes it's quite pleasurable. Especially when I think about you and all the things I want to do to you."
Kagome turned beet red. Sesshoumaru laughed and pulled her in his arms.
"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are when you blush?" he whispered.
She just burrowed deeper in his embrace. She was so embarrassed. It felt like her face was about to catch on fire.
"Baby, don't be embarrassed." He said.
"I can't help it. I didn't know you think about me that way."
"Well shit, Kagome, have you look in a mirror lately. You're fucking gorgeous especially when you wear those tight jeans that show off your best asset."
"And what's that?"
"Your ass."
"My ass? But it's too big and jiggly"
"No, it's not. It's round and firm." He squeezed her ass for emphasis. "See."
"So you like my butt."
"Among other things."
"Such as?"
"Your ears, your mouth, your nose, your breasts."
"Don't you think my breasts are too small?"
"Well, I have never seen them but they don't look small."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I love all of you, Kagome."
"I love all of you too, Sesshy."
They remain quiet for a long time. Kagome was about to fall asleep when she heard Sesshoumaru talked.
"You might want to change if you're going to fall asleep."
"I didn't bring any clothes."
"I'm sure you can find something in my closet."
"Ummm…"
In the end, she changed into one of his boxer shorts and keeps her t-shirt on. Sesshoumaru has exchanged his jeans for a comfy pairs of flannel pajama bottom. Kagome got on the bed and under the comforter. She turned on her side and tried to get some sleep. She turned again, trying to a comfortable spot. She was too cold.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm cold." She said.
He pulled her against his firm chest and snaked his arm around her waist.
"Sleep, my love. I'll keep you warm."
"Okay. Goodnight, Sess."
"Goodnight, Baby."
