Memo: I realized after the last quiz that I was spelling Seyuki the wrong way, as Seiyuki. Please forgive me for such a mistake, from now on his name will be spelled correctly. I've also had a few people comment on the way I spell "Shessomaru." When I watched the anime they spelled his name S-H-E-S-S-O-M-A-R-U in the episode title, so that is how I have always spelled it. there's like 5 different spellings any ways. no really there is!

Disclaimer: i know it's obvious i don't own any of these people, and now you know, i do not own them... but i desperately wish shessomaru was my bitch.

The alarm goes off and you roll over. You grope around groggily and realize you feel something. What is this? It's so warm… and soft. You hear something crack and shatter and open your eyes, alarmed. You just catch a glance of the yellow light fading from the tip of Shessomarus fingers as he turns over back towards you. "You're awake! Good morning." He says and places his hand on your cheek.

"What… What are you doing?" you scream and fly to the other side of the bed. "What?" He says and slips his arm around you, pulling you back to him. "I couldn't fall asleep last night so I lay down next to you. I didn't do anything I just fell asleep here." You knew he hadn't done anything; it was just a real shock.

You glance over him to see 2 halves of your alarm clock sitting on the bed side table. "You killed my alarm clock!... It's supposed to make sound in the morning, you know." He shrugs and tries to pull you even closer. You put up your hands (in between you) and so, No, I have to get up and go to school now."

You wrap the bed sheets around you and waddle out of the room, leaving him alone in your room. You pull a clean uniform out of the drier and put it on in the hall way (underwear to, of course.) You fill the washer and load your other two uniforms and Shessomarus old clothing, his huge, billowing pants and such. You hang the puffy thing he wears in the closet. You pack a lunch and grab some money for a new alarm clock.

You grab your bag and put your lunch in it. "Shessomaru!" You call from the bathroom as you brush your hair. He walks up to the door and leans on the wall in his pyjama pants, which you are now glad you bought him.

"Yes Tabitha?" He answers. You begin as you brush your silky silver hair, "Um, I'm walking to school with Kagome today, so please don't follow me this morning… lets see…" You put down the brush and grab the mascara then continue, "Is there anything you need me to re-explain before I leave? I don't want you to get too bored while I'm gone. If you like you can go back to the feudal era for an hour or two, but please don't make me come after you."

He shakes his head, waves flowing through his hair, "No, I'll be fine." You nod and pick up the eyes shadow now. "Ok, if you find you need to contact me, my phone number is written above the phone, you remember how to use it, right?" He nods and walks up behind you. You pick up the lip stick and he puts his arms around your neck and looks at you in the mirror as he answers you, "Yes, I do, It's ok, nothing will happen."

He leans down and kisses your neck while you try to put on lips stick. His lips caressing your neck drives you crazy, but you try to contain yourself, resistign the urg to turn around and throw yourself at him.

You close the lipstick and giggle as you turn around to face him. You put your arms around his naked waist and pull his body against yours. "Are you sure?" You ask once more. He kisses you and answers, "Yes, I will be fine and if I do need anything I will call you, ok?" You nod and kiss him good bye before you grab your bag and leave.

You run up the side walk and wave at Kagome, "Hey, sorry I'm a little late!" You catch up and then walk next to her. She seems a little glum so you ask quietly, "What's wrong, Kagome." She quickly perks up and waves her arms as she refutes in, "No, no. Nothing's wrong, it's ok."

You look at her and she smiles awkwardly and stands kind of stiff. "Is it… Inu-Yasha?" She sighs and slouches over, "How did you know?" You look around then continue to walk as you answer cautiously, "You smell like him, and like demon blood. You went back again last night, right?" She nods and explains that he had gotten mad, then she got mad and they insulted each other and she went home very angry. "He's so stupid, I hate him!" You take her arm as you walk, "No you don't; he's just a jerk sometimes. If you really did hate him you wouldn't be so upset right now."

Wakako appears on the up coming corner and joins you. "Hey Kagome. Hi Tabitha! Did you get all your homework done? You nodded but Kagome went into panic mode and franticly asks you for your homework to copy. "Please Tabitha I didn't get it done and Mr. Wiich-Ba will kill me!"

You get your Chemistry homework out of your bag and hand it to her, saying, "I need that back by tomorrow, 1st class." She nods and starts reading it as she walks. Chemistry is one of the very few classes you take that is a grade 11 course

You put your bag in your locker and grab your stuff for gym class. You close your locker and turn around and bump into someone. You plop to the ground and drop your stuff. You look up, ready to smack who ever it was, but you see Seyuki smiling down at you.

"Seyuki!" You yell and hit his leg, "The least you could do is help me up!" You gather your stuff and grab his extended hand. You punch his arm, "You could have said you were there." He laughs and retorts, "But seeing you fall on your ass is much more entertaining."

You roll your eyes and say, "Thanks Seyuki." You look at him and note that he's carrying his bag. You ask sidewardly, "You're not ditching Gym class this time?" He shrugs, "You aren't that's a change." You nod, "Ya I don't want to fail it, repeating such a worthless course would suck."

You reach the change rooms and separate. Wakako's already changed and Celina is almost ready, but is still putting on make up. You quickly change and you, Wakako, Kagome and Celina enter the Gymnasium together.

Most of the students are just standing about chatting while some of the guys play basket ball and show off. Wakako taps you on your arm and asks excitedly, "SO? Did you talk to him?" You explain that you did and she beams at you and claps her hands. "Great!" She exclaimed. Of course you did skip the details, you don't want her to know that Seyuki probably wont do anything, I mean, he never does.

She and Celina giggle excitedly and you ask the girls, "Are you guys actually going to play?" Wakako and Celina shake their heads, but Kagome can't hear you , she's still reading your paper and scribbling notes. The Gym teacher calls out, "ALL RIGHT! Get in a line against the wall!" Every one wanders over to the wall.

Seyuki finds a spot next to you and wispers, "I hope we're on opposite teams, So I can kick your butt!" You laugh and the teacher glares over at you. You retort, "You know that will never happen. It never has." Seyuki mumbles and answers, "Shut up!" The teacher whips around and barks, "Seyuki! Move away from miss Tabitha! NOW!"

He rolls his eyes and moves to the opposite end of the line. The teacher separates you into 2 teams. Seyuki was on the opposite team, just like he wanted and you, unfortunately) are on a team with you girlfriends. They don't even move away from the wall, just as you expected, and you leave them behind.

You look around at the guys and Mark (Seyukis best friend besides you) winks at you. "Nice to have you back Tabitha." He then addresses the rest of the team, "Ok, guys, here's the plan. We're not used to playing with a girl and neither are they. Pass to her when possible, they wont expect it or know what to do. Ok? GO!"

They spread out mumbling about playing with a girl. You stick up your nose and step out to center court. Seyuki peaks up from his teams huddle and smiles an evil smile in your direction. They split up and he walks confidently up in front of you.

A huge grin spreads across his face as he towers over you. "There's no way you can handle this." He gestures at himself vainly. You stick out your tongue and get ready. The teacher walks between you and holds out the basket ball. He gives you a lecture before you begin, "I don't want any broken bones or blood this time, got it?" (your gym class can get really violent. Those of you that do play are VERY competitive... very) You crouch down and so does Seyuki. You smile to your self and think I'll show you, Seyuki, I'll jump higher then you so fast you wont know what hit you

The teacher throws the ball straight in the air and Seyuki lunges upwards. Being the demon you are you jump super fast and grab the ball with your knees about level with him face. Time seems to flow in slow motion as you move back towards the earth with Seyukis wide eyes staring at you.

You realize you're still holding the ball and toss it back over head before you hit the ground. Seyuki lands and wheels around to look at your team rushing towards his net. He turns back around and says, "How the hell did you do that? You're amazing." You grin at him and a soft smile crosses his face. You blink, then run past him to help your team, "That was weird." You mutter to your self.

At first the guys don't pass to you. You just keep doing your best, a lot of interrupting passes and defence. Mark passes to you from time to time, but it wasn't till you jumped above the other team and slammed the ball through the hoop that they really started to let you play.

The coach blows the whistle three times to signal the end of the game. Your sweating and hot, but you're adrenalines rushing and you feel great. You yell enthusiastically, "We won! We won!" And throw your arms around marks neck. Seyuki come up and you latch one of your arms around his neck as well. You loosen your grip and mark throws his arms in the air to welcome more team mates. "Yeah!" he yells. You look up to see Seyukis face coloring. He lets go and walks over to him team quickly.

After the celebrating and yelling subsided you notice that all the other girls are gone. You wave at Seyuki and yell, "See you next class, Seyuki!" The guys elbow him as they walk off into the change room, but he glares at them.

The girls are all chattering in the change room. Celina whines at you, "Gee, Tabitha, You always hang out with the cool people." She sighs and you laugh, "Nah, I only hang out with you guys." Wakako rolls her eyes, "Thanks a lot, Tabs."

You run down the hall way with your hair still wet from the shower. You run into the grade 12 math class and jump into the seat next to Seyuki. The bell rings just as you pull your books out of your bag. "Nice timing." Seyuki mutters. You smile at him and start jotting down the notes being written on the board.

The day finally ends and you walk out of a double class of grade 12 biology. Seyuki follows, "That was an awesome class." He comments. You elbow him, "Ya, well you just talked with the guys the whole time, three hours of chatting! At least I got my ELA done." He looks at you, "Which one?" "Grade twelve trans, we have that tomorrow, remember?"

He thinks, "Oh ya." You throw your books in your locker and grab your bag. You slam your locker shut and say good bye to the girls. The girls of the school gather behind you guys as you walk and take pictures of him on their cell phones and blush and sigh.

You walk out and notice clouds in the sky, "And it was so nice today." You sigh. "Ya it's to bad it's gonna rain tonight, and probably tomorrow." Seyuki comments. "If you want I can pick you up in my car, Seyuki." You offer. He shrugs, "Sure that'll be fine."

You don't take the car out very often, you think it's a waist when the schools so close by, although you did take it when you went shopping the other day. You chat all the way home, with a herd of guys following you.

Seyuki glances over his shoulder, "They're following you again you know?" you nod, "Ya I noticed them earlier, it's ok though." he shrugs, "You sure? I could get rid of them." You shake your head and your hair follows every notion gracefully, "No that's ok, really, I'm used to it by now."

He changes the subject, "So how did you do that today? In Gym class, how did you jump like that?" A lot of funny thing have happened around Seyuki, and he's suspected stuff for years, but he's kept quiet. You laugh and give him a cheesy answer, "Come on, I'm 17, Seyuki, I'm young! I'm fit! I'm just better then you!" ( I did say in the beginning that you were 17 right? Or did I say 16? We'll just stick with 17 for now.)

You get to your home and say, "Oh I'll go get your clothes, thanks for letting me borrow them." You hear whispers and glance at the bushes where you know the guys that were following you now reside. You smile at him and wink, "I slept in them all night, wearing absolutely nothing else. I hope next time you'll come along with your clothing."

Talking erupts in the bushes and you laugh then holler at them, "That's what you get for listening in, you lame ass perverts!" Seyuki laughs and you run into the house and return out side with him clothing clean and neatly folded, with an excuse formulated in your head, "Thanks, Seyuki. I actually just wanted them to make measurements on a pair of pyjamas I'm making for my younger cousin, who is about the same size as you. You remember meeting Luke right?"

He pauses and thinks, "Oh ya, he's the one with the sword collection right?" You nod. whew, I'm glad he believed that, man one lie leads to another and another, I hope this ends soon, so I can stop lying to him. "If you talk to my cousin though please don't tell him, it's a surprise, that's why I had to borrow your clothes." You hear a tremendous sigh come form the bushes at the end of your explanation. Seyuki bellows at the bushes incredulously, "You're still here?" you roll your eyes, "see ya tomorrow Seyuki, I'll pick you up at 8:30.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have a peaceful night at home. Shessomaru's watching TV when you get home, though he destroyed the radio. You both go out and you buy a new radio and alarm clock, hoping he won't break these ones. You take a shower because you still didn't feel clean from gym, your hair never has time to be washed between classes at school.

You step out of the shower and Shessomaru is sitting silently on the toilet lid. He smiles at you and you blush, "Shessomaru." You say calmly, for you are now very used to this kind of thing, "You have got to stop doing this." You grab your bath robe and put it on, with your back facing him.

"You like it." He teases "Maybe…" You taunt back. "I think you're just a pervert, Shessomaru, a pervert who hasn't come out of the shadows till now." He stands up and you duck under his arm and run to your room and lock the doors while you get dressed. You come out and return to the bathroom and brush out your hair.

You watch TV with Shessomaru, well no, not really, you make out with him on the couch for an hour. You look at the clock on the wall while he kisses your chest. "Shessomaru..." You say and put your hands on his face, "Its 11:00, I've gotta get some sleep." He looks at you and starts to sit up then you pull him back down, saying, "But a little longer couldn't hurt."

Of course that doesn't work though. after a while he slows down you rest against his naked chest, running your fingers down his six pack. He's already asleep, with his arm wrapped around your waist. he looks so peaceful when he sleeps. and with that thought you also drift into dream land.
