Chapter Seven: Sweet and Cold.
"Sesshomaru, come on!" yelled Kagome, looking back for the tenth time to find apathetic Sesshomaru falling behind. Kagome ran to his sides, and pulled his arm. "Come on! Let's get on the ferris wheel!" Sesshomaru lightly grunted, and slowly followed Kagome.
Sesshomaru wasn't the least bit interested in going to an amusement park with Kagome, Sango and Miroku and look like it's a double date. But last night, Kagome insisted in a puppy manner so cutely and so desperatly that it was hard for Sesshomaru to refuse. Sesshomaru had to say 'yes' in vain, and to Kagome's great delight, he didn't have the adittude of being forced.
So today, here he was, going to an amusement park with people who he didn't know very well. He clearly showed great apathy, but Kagome showed no feeling of being disturbed by it. Sesshomaru awoke from his thoughts upon Kagome's tug, and lowered himself into the ferris wheel. Once he was inside, he propped his chin on one arm, and vacantly stared outside. Kagome's excited tone became the background long ago.
He thought about his late father... how he died, how he looked so pale all the time although he always smiled at his son...
And that ungreatful woman who was the cause of all this...Izayoi. Sesshomaru swore he would, by any chance, call her his mother. She was the cause why Takemaru shot Sesshomaru's father and made him die in the hospital...
And how he died like a butterfly, not even shedding a tear.
About ten minutes had passed when a butterfly came in through a open window. Sesshomaru stared at its blue form, thinking. His eyes were half-shut dreamily. Kagome stood up excitedly, and tried to catch the butterly. It was just out of her reach, and when she walked near Sesshomaru, the car tilted and shook. Losing her balance, Kagome fell, yelling out in surprise.
"Ahh, Sango-san, finally our ROMANTIC moment has arrived!" said Miroku, clasping his hands in a excited manner. He inched toward Sango, who pushed herself tighter against the wall.
"Only if we sat together with Kagome-chan and Sesshomaru! It was your stupid idea of leaving them alone, even though they have no feelings for eachother other than friendship!" Sango yelled, waving her fist.
"Hmm, really?" said Miroku, returning to his poetry book."it says that boy/girl friendship may just as easily turn into a love... it says so here in the book...
How to attract lady's love.."
"Are you 100 sure that you're not a hentai? Because hentais read those kind of book... and besides, you have a lolita complex..."
"How rude! I do like young ladies, but I do not have a loli-com.!" He said. He glanced up, and as soon as he did, his eyes widened. Turning to Sango, he leered.
"You said Sesshomaru and Kagome-san doesn't have feelings for eachother? hm, see for yourself, they do!" he said, pointing up. Indeed, there was something that would make Sango's eyes widen about a centimeter.
Kagome gasped. Sesshomaru's face was an inch away from her own, and their bodies were so close... Kagome's raven locks fell on Sesshomaru's shoulders and face. Both were speechless. Sesshomaru was surprised, and Kagome, of course, was utterly embarrased. Through Kagome's head, tons of thoughts and possibilities swam through. Their lips have as well as met while she fell on him...
Sesshomaru was first to move, and he struggled up. He lightly pushed Kagome off him, who scrambled to her seat without a word. He raked through his long hair, sighing.
"That was close..." he muttered under his breath, frowning.
"I.." Kagome hung her head, her face reddening by the minute. "The butterfly..." was all Sesshomaru could make out of her sentence. "I'm sorry." she said. Sesshomaru knew she didn't do it on purpose, but he was sure that she was utterly embarrased. He gave her a slight nod.
After they got off the ferris wheel, neither of them was speaking. Even after they met Sango and Miroku a few minutes later, all they could give was a slight nod. Sango and Miroku seemed to know what had happened, because they avoided speaking about anything romantic. The day passed without word.
After Sango and Miroku said their valedictions, they left Sesshomaru and Kagome before they could say anything (not that they would say anything). As Kagome shifted uncomfortably on the spot, Sesshomaru tugged her arm. She flinched, and Sesshomaru withdrew his arm.
"It's not your fault... don't worry..." He said. Then he left, leaving flushed Kagome alone.
A sweet taste lingered in his mouth, a sweet, but cold taste...
AN: sorry for the great delay. I lost all data on my computer so it took me such a long time to type EVERYTHING up again. and here we go, a little romance.
