Hot Attraction

Temptation

She moaned and turned over in her sleep. Nice soft silk covers. She smiled as her eyes slowly fluttered open to reveal two beautiful cerulean colored orbs. Wait a minute…

This wasn't her room. She sat up fast and looked around. What the hell? She heard someone sigh beside her and a hand come in contact with her leg. Kagome froze and slowly turned her ridged head to the sound. It was a male. Hold up.

Last night…Sesshomaru.

The memories came pouring back to her. She nearly screamed. She looked down at her body under the covers and to her relief she was still wearing her clothes, which would mean that they didn't do anything! She sighed in exasperation. Thank Kami.

She looked at the man she became the dance partner to. He was so handsome sleeping without a care in the world. Then she remembered.

Her eyes widened. He stopped her last night. Why?

She took one last glance at Sesshomaru before slowly getting out of the bed. She looked around for her shoes. Where were they? She sighed in frustration. Forget it! She would just have Sesshomaru bring them back to one of their classes or something. She paled. Then again…he might show up at school again and give them to her.

She decided in looking all around the huge house for her shoes.

She was going to be so late!

Kagome was currently running as fast as she could down the side walk to Shikon College. Why did it have to be so far! "Hey Kagome!" She turned her head to the voice. It was Sango.

"Hey what's up?" She stopped running and planted her feet in place waiting for her friend to cross the street.

Sango seemed as though she was out of breath. "Did…did they allow paparazzi at the audition?"

Kagome looked at her friend quizzically. "No…why?"

Sango said nothing, yet with a grim glance handed Kagome the morning paper. Kagome looked it over. On the front page of the morning gossip there was a picture of her and Sesshomaru. The picture after he gave her…the um, well you know to be exact.

Her eyes widened! Along with the picture of Kagome in Sesshomaru's arms was a huge header that read "Just dance partners…or more?"

"What the fuck is wrong with these people!"

Sango tried to calm her friend down. "They're just stupid paper people that like messing with people's lives."

The press seemed to be very interesting in the new dance competition and the teacher as well as the student's backgrounds. What was so interesting about their dancing competition?

He sighed. What was wrong with the press these days? So what if he was Sesshomaru Tashio, the son of a man that owned the largest expanding company in Japan? Didn't mean they had to go after him with their pointless cameras and stupid printed papers.

He looked up after hearing a familiar voice shouting at one of the people that just so happened to be a victim and get in his way. "Well hello brother."

Inuyasha scowled. "Half brother."

Sesshomaru smirked. "Whatever. Now, what is it that you wanted to discuss?"

Inuyasha's scowl deepened. "Kagome."

Sesshomaru's smirk slowly formed into a large grin. He leaned back in his chair slyly. "Ah, Miss Higurashi. You like her, don't you dear brother?"

"Can it Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru's grin faded. "You better get to the point before I get tired of this little charade and leave."

"What do you feel for her?"

Sesshomaru sighed and resumed his previous leaned back position. "An attraction is all I can say."

"Well get rid of your attraction." Inuyasha all but demanded.

Sesshomaru smirked once again. "Jealous?"

Inuyasha sneered. "No."

"I beg to differ. However Inuyasha," Sesshomaru closed his eyes and stood. "I cannot leave it at that. There is something about this girl that keeps me interested. She's unique."

Inuyasha jumped up. "Which is why I don't want you to ruin her!"

Sesshomaru went to walk away. "If you wanted her that badly Inuyasha, then why isn't she yours?" With that said, he was gone.

Kagome looked at the dance academy determined. It was Friday. Her private lesson with Sesshomaru…joy…

But where was their relationship going? They almost had sex for Kami's sake! Then the intimate dances…the way he looks at her…the kisses…what was he playing at?

She swallowed her fear and opened the studio doors. She looked in the main room. Where was Sesshomaru?

She heard shouting in another room and walked towards the voices. One of them was Sesshomaru she could tell from a distance. But who was he yelling at? She tip toed over to the door and looked through the crack. She could see Sesshomaru's long silver hair. Who was he talking to?

"I want her as my partner! She's a perfect dancer and I'll pay great money for her." Wait a minute….that voice was…

Kagome's eyes widened. Naraku…

She listened more intently. Who were they talking about then?

"Miss Higurashi is not for sale. She is my partner in the dance competition and further on. If you have a problem with it, take it up with the dance committee." Sesshomaru spat at the man.

Kagome scowled. She wished she had come earlier, and then she could have heard the rest of the conversation. "Fine for now Mr. Tashio. But let me assure you, I always get my way." With a final glare, the long brown haired man stalked out of the room.

Kagome gave a quiet 'eep' and backed up against the wall as the door was flung open and an angry Naraku stormed out of the academy. "You can come in now Kagome." Kagome jumped again at the sound of her name and turned slowly to Sesshomaru who was staring at her from his office desk.

Kagome laughed nervously and walked into the room and sat across from Sesshomaru. His gaze left hers as he looked at some of the papers on his desk.

She looked around. The room was actually quite bare…

"Did you mean that?" She asked turning to him finally asking the question that was stirring around in her head liable to make her go insane.

"What I told Naraku? Yes." He said without looking up from his papers.

"Oh." Was all she could say.

Sesshomaru slammed his folder closed and looked at Kagome. "Shall we start then?" Kagome nodded and they both exited the room.

Sesshomaru walked over to the radio and Kagome placed her things on the floor while doing her warm up stretches. Sesshomaru watched her. Her eyes were closed and she was moving so arithmetically. He started to walk forward towards her when he stopped himself.

This time he wouldn't be able to stop.

Kagome looked at him and smiled. The music was still going. "You better come and get me, or I'm not dancing with you."

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped their attention to her form. He growled and walked over to her wrapping his left arm around her waist and pulling her forcefully against his chest. She smirked and started moving her hips. He grabbed her hips and stopped her.

"I won't stop this time if we get too far into it." He said huskily.

Kagome stared at him. "Why did you stop last night?"

"You weren't ready." With that said and Kagome's widened eyes, Sesshomaru whisked her onto the floor. She gasped and held tight to his shoulders as he held her waist tightly.

"What dance do you want to practice?"

"The Samba." She smirked. They hadn't even begun to learn that dance in class yet.

"I don't want you ahead of everyone else…" She pouted and Sesshomaru sighed. "No."

"Fine." She smirked. "Then I want to practice the Mamba."

What was this feeling? It was like…a stirring in her stomach and the place below whenever she saw Sesshomaru. Was this…lust? Did she really find herself that attracted to him?

She sighed as she walked down the street. She was way in over her head. A squeaky voice stopped her in her track.

Kagome turned around and looked across the street. It was Kikyo! What was she doing out here?

Kagome ducked behind a dark alley and watched Kikyo come out of a restaurant with…Naraku! What was going on? Were they an item?

Kikyo didn't look to happy. Kagome strained to pick up on their conversation. "Your telling me that I lost Sesshomaru and now you to that little bitch!"

Naraku smirked. "Seems like someone is jealous of our sweet little dancer."

Kikyo scowled. "Your little dancer." She straitened herself. "No matter, Sesshomaru will be mine again soon. I'll just work my womanly charm and you can have Kagome soon."

"Let's hope so Kikyo." Naraku glared.

Kagome's eyes widened. Did she just hear right? Kikyo wanted Sesshomaru back. Then she remembered what she had done trying to get Sesshomaru's attention the first time she'd met her. When he brushed her off.

Kikyo must have been trying to pull a move on Sesshomaru or something. That's what she thought she was doing…but she wasn't sure.

Kagome turned and continued walking. Why did this bother her so much?

Kagome took one last glance behind her as she continued down the street. Naraku was leaving and Kikyo was looking at her.

Wait…Kikyo was looking at her! She smirked at her and took out her cell phone. Kagome turned around slowly. Oops…

Kagome saw a strand of silver and looked towards it. It was Sesshomaru. She decided to swallow some of her pride and ask him if he wanted to get a bite to eat or something. "Sesshomaru!" Kagome shouted. He turned around.

Once he registered it was her, he smirked. Kagome smiled. When Sesshomaru's smirk disappeared, she frowned. What was wrong with him? His eyes widened.

"Kagome! Look out!" Kagome was confused. What was he talking about? "KAGOME!"

Kagome suddenly saw her shadow. But it was night time…what the…

Kagome's eyes widened and slowly turned around. A large black truck was coming at her and fast and it didn't look like it was going to slow down to stop from colliding with her.

She screamed.
