Sesshomaru and Kagome: An Elevator Ride
Kagome sighed as she laid her keys and purse on the table nearby. "Um, try to sit somewhere," Kagome told him, taking her jacket off.
"There isn't much here," he told her.
"Yes, I know. Most of the furniture was Inuyasha's. All I have is the counter chairs. I threw the couch out," Kagome told him. "Plus, I really don't mind having meals on the carpet. Perhaps one of these nights, I could cook for us, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru smiled, hanging his coat up next to Kagome's. "Do you sleep on the floor as well?"
"No. My bed is upstairs along with everything else that was originally mine. Inuyasha's room is empty and most of my living room as well," Kagome told him, going into the kitchen, tripping over her black pumps. "Crap, why did I leave those there?" Kagome kicked them aside and made her way to the counter, getting some packages of coffee out. "Want any coffee or tea or something to drink?"
"Tea will be just fine," Sesshomaru told her. "Coffee isn't really good for you." He warned.
"Yeah, I know. But it's just something I drink without getting bored," Kagome told him. "And I only drink it when something is going on."
"And the reason today is?" Sesshomaru asked.
"First date with a really nice man, I mean demon," Kagome said with a smile. Sesshomaru smiled as well.
She sat next to Sesshomaru with her coffee and his tea and they chatted a little while. Friends, old jobs, high school even. Kagome laughed when Sesshomaru told her he was one of the jocks.
"What's so funny?" Sesshomaru asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"You, a jock? You're so smart, though," Kagome told him.
"Jocks cannot be smart?" Sesshomaru asked curiously.
"Well, not technically," Kagome told him, taking a sip. "I mean, take me for example. I was a pure nerd."
Sesshomaru chuckled. "A nerd? With your body? I would think more cheerleader," Sesshomaru told her.
"Sweet," she responded. "But nope. Nerd of the school. Kag-goggle," Kagome told him.
Sesshomaru chuckled. "Very shocking," he told her.
"So, um, how's work doing?" Kagome asked him, her hands around her hot mug.
"Well, I've decided to turndown the offer of merging with Dark Corp," he told her.
"Oh, Inuyasha will be furious. He's been having meetings galore with Mr. Onigumo, last time I was there," Kagome told him.
"So will Kanna Mirage," Sesshomaru told her. "But I don't really care. He wanted to be the boss and I refuse to step down from my position."
"Oh, well, you weren't exactly famous in the office to begin with," Kagome told him taking a sip of her coffee. He eyed her suspiciously, but she didn't need to see it. She continued. "A lot of co-workers claimed you to be unfair, giving them extra hours when not requested or stuff like that."
"But I guess you didn't catch the part that I gave them double the wage for those hours. I am always fair in a way. And everyone knows where my office is if they have a problem," Sesshomaru told her.
"I didn't," Kagome told him almost silently. She saw him inspect her face and blushed. "Well, up until I delivered that letter."
"Well, of course. Inuyasha always delivered the letters he wanted to be delivered to me personally. Want to know what that letter was?" Sesshomaru asked Kagome.
"Hell, why not?" Kagome asked, looking at Sesshomaru with a smile.
"Well, don't freak or anything, he wanted my mother's ring to propose to Kikyou," Sesshomaru told her.
"Oh," Kagome simply said, her smile fading. She then yawned widely, and quickly covered her mouth with her cheeks flaring. "Sorry."
"Tired?" Sesshomaru asked, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She nodded. "Am I allowed to take you upstairs?"
She smiled and nodded again. She dumped what was left of her coffee down the drain and stretched, yawning again.
"Oh, gosh. I must be really tired. That party and, um, dinner tired me out," Kagome said scratching her head, her eyes half closed. Sesshomaru took her elbow into his hand and lead her up the stairs.
"That dinner was quite exciting," Sesshomaru told her.
"That's only because you kept whispering in my ear. I still feel it wet," Kagome said, wiping her ear. She sat on her bed and Sesshomaru kneeled in front of her.
"Get a good night sleep," he told her.
"You too, Sesshomaru. What time do you need to work?" Kagome asked.
"4, in the morning. I'll be there until 8, sorry," he told her with a apologetic smirk.
"I'll bring you lunch. Or we can have lunch together. Or I could come by," Kagome told him.
"Just sleep. I'll call tomorrow when I can, ok? Don't call me. I have tons of meetings tomorrow, ok?" Sesshomaru told her, rubbing her thigh. "So, good night and sleep tight, ok?"
"Yes, you too," Kagome said, laying her head on the pillow, her eyes closed. "Sorry I can't see you out."
"See me walking out in your dreams," he told her. "See me smiling and happy and refusing to leave."
She smiled and gave the smallest nod he had ever seen. "Good night kiss?"
"What?" Sesshomaru asked quite shocked, but bent low and gave her a small, delicate kiss on the lips and stroked her hair a few times as she drifted off. Once she had, he smiled and closed her door behind him and left to work. He'd sleep there. Plus, he was told Rin was going to be giving her guest what he wants, and really didn't want to be there, listening to it, after being with Kagome. As he started his car up, he smiled. That night went perfecto.
