Hot Attraction
A not so Wonderful realization
What was wrong with this picture?
Sesshomaru watched as Kagome danced along the floor gracefully. The other students had long left but Kagome decided to stay after practice. But…something was wrong.
Her dance was perfect, but Sesshomaru had known her long enough to the point where her fiery façade took over. Why didn't it now as she danced? He figured something must have happened the night before, because yesterday she was dancing with everything.
"Kagome." She turned to him, frustration shinning in her eyes. "May I have a word with you?" He glared at her.
Kagome huffed and walked over to a chair and grabbed her towel before walking over to stand directly in front of him. "What?"
He raised an elegant eyebrow. "What's with the change of mood?"
Her eyes widened a bit, almost a little unnoticeable, but Sesshomaru caught it. "N-nothing." She turned away from him. Sesshomaru stood.
"Don't give me that Kagome. Your spirit isn't into it." Kagome still didn't look at him. Of course she knew that. Her eyes, which were hidden under her bangs, widened even more. She…was falling for her instructor! Why else would she believe Kikyo's words even for a minute!?
Her eyes snapped to Sesshomaru's amber orbs. He was startled by her sudden action. "What now?" He said.
"Nothing, I gotta go!" With that said Kagome turned on her heel and grabbed her things running out of the academy leaving Sesshomaru staring after her.
"Sango! C'mon, open up!" Kagome was pounding on her best friends' door. "SANGO!"
The door immediately slammed open to reveal Sango…in a not so good mood. "What!" Kagome took no time in pushing a now startled Sango into the apartment and shutting the door behind them.
"I seriously need to talk to you." Sango stopped her friend and twisted out of her grasp walking into the kitchen.
She turned and smiled. "Well, you're in luck, I just got done making cookies and tea."
"Awesome!" Kagome said before sitting down on the couch with a wide smile. Sango smirked. She was in an awfully good mood.
When Sango walked back into the living room, Kagome was looking at an old picture of her and Kagome. "High school."
Kagome turned and smiled. "Yeah…the best years."
Sango rolled her eyes. "The most dramatic." They laughed. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Sesshomaru." Kagome looked away from her friend. "I've…just realized something."
"Uh-huh!" Sango's smile widened and she crossed her legs on the couch and turned to her friend. "Tell me everything."
Kagome turned and looked into Sango's chocolate orbs. "It started when Kikyo came over the other night."
"Kikyo!" Sango's eyes widened. "What did that bitch want?"
Kagome waved it off. "She told me that Sesshomaru was only using me and everything…just because I looked like her and I was a good dancer."
"And you believed her?"
Kagome closed her eyes. "Yeah…at first." She smiled and looked at Sango again. "But then I was dancing off key and everything when I was with Sesshomaru, and I realized that there had to be a reason that those words got to me. I was so unfocused! Then I realized that…" She stared at her best friend intently. "I'm falling for him Sango…and I can't help myself."
Sango squealed. "I knew it!" Kagome blinked.
"Knew what?"
"That you two would realize your feelings for each other sooner or later!" Sango jumped off the couch and started dancing around.
Kagome frowned. "But Sango…I don't know Sesshomaru's feelings."
Sango stopped and looked at Kagome. "Oh c'mon Kagome, didn't you suspect anything when he kissed you on stage a while back!" The memory of that kiss and the ones at his house flooded through her mind.
She blushed. "…no…"
Sango groaned. "Kagome!"
"What!" Kagome scowled.
"He likes you, trust me."
Kagome turned away. "Yeah, but the problem is I'm falling for him, and I doubt he's falling for me." She sighed again. With that said, Kagome stood and walked over to the door. "Thanks for talking with me Sango. I'm just going to think everything over." Then she left.
"You need to make a move if you like her so much man." Miroku said as he and his best friend walked down the sidewalk.
"Yeah, I guess your right. I didn't even know I liked her until I saw her with my half brother that one night and it just kinda…came out." Inuyasha looked down as his mind started to wander.
Miroku looked at him. "You might want to make sure your feelings are real and not just the whole 'well if I can't have her, then no one can.'"
Inuyasha's head snapped up. "No, its not like that."
"Well, there she is, so you better make sure of your feelings now." With that said Miroku took a right turn while Inuyasha was stuck standing straight while Kagome grew nearer.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled brightly at him. "What's up?"
"Um…nothing." He blinked at her as she stopped in front of him. "I kinda need to talk to you."
"Alright, what is it?" Kagome looked up at him. Inuyasha blushed slightly and Kagome caught it. "Inuyasha…is something wrong?"
"Well…I…I…" Inuyasha stuttered. 'Damn…this isn't me. Screw it.' Inuyasha shut up and grabbed Kagome's shoulders. Her eyes widened as Inuyasha pulled her close and crushed his lips to hers.
Kagome was in complete shock. This didn't feel right…at all. She had to stop it before she gave Inuyasha the wrong idea.
Putting her fists up against him, she pushed on his chest as hard as she could succeeding in separating them completely. "I-Inuyasha…" She breathed. "I'm sorry…" She looked down. "…but I don't have those kinds of feelings for you anymore." With that said, Kagome ran around Inuyasha and towards the dance studio. She was going to go in for some time alone dancing to get her mind off of things.
Inuyasha was left standing in the middle of the sidewalk completely dumbfounded.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, finally, some time alone!" Kagome had an extra key to the academy in case Sesshomaru didn't arrive on time during their Friday lessons. She was kind of miss-using it being here in the middle of the night.
At least no one would know.
Turning on the radio, Kagome started stretching before she began to dance. Her movements were full of optimism and life which made her performance nearly perfect.
She was just starting to get into her dancing when all of a sudden the academy doors slammed open. Kagome, startled, turned to see who it was. Her eyes widened.
"Sesshomaru?"
"What are you doing here Kagome?" He asked calmly.
"What does it look like?" She glared at him. He returned it eagerly.
"Your not supposed to be here after hours."
Kagome huffed and turned off the music. "Why do I get the feeling that your attitude has something more to do than you just finding me here in the dance studio? So what's up your ass?" She placed her hands on her hips.
Sesshomaru stalked up to her. "You are my problem."
She was slightly taken aback. "Me? What did I do?"
"It seems to always have something to do with my dim witted half brother."
Her eyes widened. "What does this have to do with-" She stopped short. "The kiss…"
"Oh, let's give her an academy award shall we!" Sesshomaru all but shouted. Why was he so mad?
"Why is this so upsetting to you! I didn't even feel right so I pushed him away, but lemme guess, you didn't see that did you? No one ever does." Sesshomaru said nothing, instead just chose to continue glaring at her. Kagome went on. "I don't have feelings for Inuyasha like I do for-" She stopped short again and gasped covering her mouth fast with her left hand.
Sesshomaru's interest was peaked now and he smirked. "Like you do for whom…Kagome?" He came closer to her.
"N-no one…" She stammered.
"I think your lying." He closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Is this why you left our practice earlier?"
"I-I don't know what your talking about!" Kagome crossed her arms in defiance and turned away from him with a small 'humph'.
"Oh, but I think you do." He smirked when he saw her blush slightly. "Is it Miroku…?" Her gazed snapped to him.
"Hell no!"
"Well, it can't be Inuyasha because you just told me that you didn't have those feelings for him." He inched closer to her.
"Stop toying with me Sesshomaru!" She growled.
"Could those feelings be," He leaned in, his lips only a breath away from capturing hers. "for me?"
"I…" She couldn't say anything else when Sesshomaru's lips moved in completely to capture hers. Was it possible…that Sesshomaru might just have the same feelings for her?
