Arranged LoveChapter Three: Spending Quality Time With Sesshoumaru
Kagome woke up with an aching feeling in her stomach. It felt empty and painful, but then she remembered that she didn't eat anything last night.
"What time is it?" she muttered to herself as she rolled over to her nightstand and groaned. It was about 7:30 in the morning on a Saturday! Sure it was summer but would it have killed her mind to not wake her up at such an early hour? 'Might as well get something to eat,' Kagome thought before climbing out of the bed and into her bathroom.
About 30 minutes later, Kagome emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in her pink fuzzy towel. Opening her dresser Kagome put on her underwear, a white sleeved shirt and dark blue shorts, and tied her hair into a loose bun. She walked out of her room and down the stairs, where she was hit with the smell of bacon, eggs and pancakes. 'Mom must be trying to say she's sorry.' Kagome thought and rolled her eyes.
Whenever her mother would do something wrong to Kagome, she would feel sorry and fix a big breakfast to make it up to her. Kagome was used to it because her mother was constantly doing something to piss her off, but still told her mother from time to time that there was no need for it but Jaime did it anyway.
"Good morning, sweetie." Jamie said from the stove. She was just finishing the eggs and placed them in 3 different plates.
"Morning," Kagome said as she entered the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"Honey, I just want to say that I am sorry for putting all this marriage stuff on you so fast. If it makes you feel any better. I was arranged to be wed at your age." Jaime said turning around to place Kagome's plate in front of her. Kagome gasped at this new information about her mother and father.
"You never told me that!" Kagome said as she ate a piece of her eggs. Nodding, her mother picked up her plate and sat down at the head of the table. "Yeah it was my 18th birthday when my parents told me I was supposed to get married to Blake, your father. I was so furious with them, but as time moved on I started to like him and then like grew into love and then I had you." Jaime smiled at the memory and Kagome was left in shock. Kagome had no idea that her mother was arranged to marry her father. She thought they fell in love with each other.
'I guess I shouldn't be so mad with this but I am still pissed. Maybe getting to know Sesshoumaru won't KILL me.' Kagome thought as she nibbled on her bacon.
"Oh honey, I forgot to tell you. Today you're going to spend the day with Sesshoumaru." Her mother said from inside the refrigerator. Kagome almost spat out her food. 'Shit!'
O.O1:30p.m
Kagome looked at herself in the mirror. She had changed into a lacey white tank top and black hip huggers. She pulled her hair into a high ponytail and only applied a little clear lip-gloss. 'Why am I trying to impress him? I don't even like him! But on the other hand he is hot and sexy— erm okay starting to scary myself here.' Kagome thought as she tried to smooth out the top of her head. The doorbell rung and Kagome froze. She heard her mother answer the door and greet, who she knew was Sesshoumaru.
"Kagome, Sesshoumaru is here to pick you up. Come down here!" Jaime called up to her. Kagome rolled her eyes annoyingly and grabbed her black jacket.
'Of course Sesshoumaru is HERE to pick me up! You told me this morning, gosh.' She thought annoyingly as she went down stairs and into the living room where her mother and Sesshoumaru was sitting, talking about something.
Sesshoumaru was wearing baggy khaki pants and a white button up shirt with the buttons undone and a tank top underneath. His hair was out and couldn't help but want to touch it. 'I wonder if it is soft.' She thought absentmindedly.
"So are you ready to go?" Sesshoumaru asked standing up towering over her. Kagome nodded.
"Okay then. Have fun you guys, Oh and don't do anything I wouldn't do until the wedding." Mrs. Higurashi joked when they were at the door. Kagome laughed and opened the door. Sesshoumaru grunted at the woman's comment, but was somewhat delighted to hear her laugh for the first time he had been with her. 'Such an interesting creature,' He thought as he unlocked the door of his red sports car, got in and Kagome did too. When he started up the car, Kagome looked over at him and asked, "Where are we going?"
Sesshoumaru looked at her for a second before pulling out of the driveway. "It's a surprise." He finally said when they were on the highway. Kagome huffed and Sesshoumaru held back a chuckle at her childish antics. 'Very interesting, indeed' He thought.
3:15p.m
Sango was really bored. There was nothing to do without Kagome here for that matter. She had called her a couple of minutes ago, but her mother said that she was with a guy named Sesshoumaru. At first she thought he was one of her newest boyfriends, but Kagome would have told her if she had met someone new. That's just how tight they were.
'Doesn't matter I'll just ask her about it later on today.' Sango thought as she went to her computer and signed onto the Internet. As she waited for the internet to boost up, she played with the hem of her long white t-shirt she was wearing until her cell phone started to ring. Getting up from her wheeler chair, she answered the phone on the third ring.
"Hello"
"Sango?" a masculine voice replied. Sango inwardly screamed in annoyance and sat down on her bed.
"What do you want Miroku?" she asked annoyingly.
"Now Sango, don't get so annoyed like that. I just wanted to see how you are doing." Miroku said in his defense.
"I'm fine and if that's all then I'm going to hang up the phone!" she replied, ready to hang up.
"Can I come over?" Miroku asked suddenly out of the blue.
"NO!" Sango screeched almost falling off her bed in surprise. 'Why the hell would he want to come over to my house for? Probably to do something perverted.' Sango thought angrily.
"Why not?" he asked, if she were there, Sango would have seen him pout at her refusal to let him come over.
"Because I said so pervert," Sango said.
"Please? There is nothing to do! I promise I won't be so perverted!" Miroku pleaded. When Miroku pleaded more than once Sango couldn't help but give in with a sigh. On Miroku's side of the phone, he jumped with silent glee. 'I am such a dork,' he thought to himself as a smiled played his lips at the thought of spending some time with his Sango. He wouldn't dare call her, his in public for the fear of her beating the shit out of him. Only in his head can he call her that.
"So when are you coming over?" Sango asked, looking at her clock on her wall, to estimate how long it's going take him to come over there, so she could have sometime to herself.
"As soon as you open your door, I'm outside." Miroku said.
"Wha?" was her stupid reply.
"I'm outside of your window," Miroku said more slowly. Sango ran to her window and sure enough, there he was wearing a pair of dark green cargo pants and a white t-shirt, with his hair in his usual hairstyle, smiling and waving at her.
"So are you going to open the door or not?" she saw/hear him say from her window.
"Yeah yeah," Sango said and hung up the phone. Picking up a pair of loose sweat pants and putting them on, she went down stairs and opened the door to see a smiling Miroku staring at her.
"Ello!" he greeted and Sango rolled her eyes playfully.
O.O
Kagome was surprised when Sesshoumaru parked the car in front of a carnival. "I didn't know you were the type of person to even come here!" Kagome stated when they got out of the car and started walking into the entrance. Sesshoumaru looked at her and smirked.
"Well today I am. It's all about having a good time right?" he asked. Kagome looked back at him and nodded. "Right"
After they paid and walked in, Kagome went over and got a map of the carnival from the info. stand. "So where do you want to go first?" Sesshoumaru asked looking around. There were roller coasters of different heights, food stands, games and even a singing contest in a nearby bar, (for adults of course).
"Do you want to go on the rollercoaster first?" Kagome asked excitedly. Sesshoumaru smelt her excitement and couldn't say no. Nodding his head, he let the young woman pull him in the direction of one the rollercoaster, feeling all of the pass biers stop and stare and him and Kagome. He didn't mind if it was him they were staring at, but when it came to Kagome being stared at by another male other than him; it angered him because he could smell their arousal. 'She's my future mate and no one but me is supposed to stare at her in that manner.' Sesshoumaru thought passively as he started growl at anyone who stared at them as they passed by.
As soon as they got there, Kagome tuned around to see him with a peeved look on his face. "Sesshoumaru, are you okay?" Kagome asked, concerned. She heard him growl a couple of minutes ago, but couldn't stop because there were so many people crowded around, the stands and rides.
"Yeah, I'm okay." He said and gestured for her to move up, when the line moved.
15 minutes later
"Are you scared?" he asked her as they started to climb higher and higher into the air, overlooking the trees, streets, the whole entire carnival and everything else.
"No," she lied. She never did so well with heights. It always made her feel sickish. But she was not going to seem babyish in front of Sesshoumaru. He chuckled when he noticed she clamped her eyes shut when they were near the edge about to go down the track. He grabbed her hand, more like pried, her hand from the harness and held it in his, giving it a small squeeze. "Don't worry about it. It'll be over before you know it." He reassured her as they went down the track and Kagome couldn't help but let out a loud scream at the intense pressure that came at her. It felt like her stomach was in her throat and she couldn't breathe, but it was kind of fun to have the wind in her face. 'Don't worry about it, my ass!' she thought as she gripped Sesshoumaru's hand tightly when they went into a loop.
'I think I'm about to be sick!'
5 minutes later
"Come on Kagome it wasn't that bad," Sesshoumaru said chuckling slightly. Kagome snorted at that statement and exclaimed, "Well it didn't really help that YOU were laughing at me, when we went under the freakin' tunnel!"
Sesshoumaru laughed one of those rare laughs and Kagome was slightly taken back. 'He looks cute when he laughs.' She thought affectionately.
"It was pretty funny though. How about I win you something to make it up to you?" he asked putting his arm about her waist. Kagome nodded. Blushing slightly at the closeness she was to him, she could smell his cologne and was pleased to know that he smelt pretty good. Sesshoumaru shook his head and walked towards the basketball game, with a blushing Kagome with him.
'Spending time with Sesshoumaru isn't so bad after all.' Kagome thought, watching with wide eyes as Sesshoumaru made shot after shot, winning her a black and blue fuzzy super sized bear. "Thank you Sesshoumaru!" she said launching herself on him in a hug. Taken back some, Sesshoumaru slowly hugged her back.
"Your welcome." He replied and handed her the teddy bear, when they separated.
O.O
"Soooooooo………." Miroku said sitting on Sango's bed. Sango was at her computer looking for something fun to do. Miroku had been repeating the same thing for the past half hour.
'Maybe I should have said not to annoy the shit out of me too?' Sango thought angrily. "Soo----" he started, but was interrupted by Sango.
"What do you want Miroku?" she asked, not fully looking at him.
"Just to spend time with you, that's all Sango," he replied looking at her.
"Well you are, so stop annoying me so much." Sango muttered turning her attention back to her computer.
"You're cute when you're mad." Miroku said quietly voicing out his thoughts. He didn't think she heard him, but she did.
"What?" Sango asked turning her chair around to face him, again. She had heard what he said but just wanted to see if he would say it again.
"Huh?" he asked stupidly. 'Stupid. Stupid.' He repeated in his head.
"What. Did. You. Say?" Sango asked slower.
"Nothing" Miroku said.
"Sure" Sango replied, not letting her disappointment show in her voice.
'Soon I will tell her how I really feel about her.' Miroku vowed as he watched his interest type on the computer rapidly.
O.O
9:00 pm
"I had so much fun." Kagome said happily as Sesshoumaru parked the car in front of her house. "I'm glad." He replied with slight amusement in his voice. To be honest with himself, today was the most fun he had since he was a kid. Maybe having Kagome as a wife/mate wouldn't be entirely boring.
"Thank-you" Kagome whispered, leaning over and kissed him on the cheek. Taking his surprise as the chance to leave, Kagome got out of the car and ran up to her house and went in. Sesshoumaru could still feel her warm lips on his cheek and he placed his hand over the spot she kissed.
'This mere human is affecting this Sesshoumaru so' he thought as he put the car in drive and drove home. Thinking about how he would get Kagome back for that kiss, he smirked.
O.O
"So Kagome how was your date?" her mother asked eyeing the huge bear her daughter had in her hands.
"Yeah it was great. Sesshoumaru was awesome." Kagome smiled and ran upstairs, not stopping to speak to her father.
"Why does she talk to you and not me?" he demanded. He was the man in the house, he should be respected by both women living in the house, but his daughter wouldn't even look at him let alone talk to him.
"Because I know what she is going through, Blake." Jaime said flipping the stations on the TV.
"Yeah well it's not fair." Blake whinned, slouching down even more on the couch.
"Whatever," Jaime replied, rolling her eyes at her husbands behavior.
O.O
