Disclaimer: I don't own the Inu-Yasha characters but in my dreams shessomaru is all mine... no i will not describe them ;).

You wake up on the couch and Shessomaru is on the floor. You adjust your bra and groan. I can not believe I fell asleep in my bra! That is SO uncomfortable! You grope across the floor for your shirt. You stand up and slip it on, then adjust your skirt.

You groggily look up at the clock on the wall, realizing the time you exclaim, "It's 8:13! Oh crap!" You look out the window to see the rain pelting down. You grab your make up bag and your hair brush, stuffing them in your bag.

You grab a handful of money, though you don't know how much, from the jar and put it in your purse. Shaking Shessomaru awake you quickly explain, "I'm late, I gotta go. See you after school." He rolls over and mumbles, "Mmm… ok…bye…" You kiss him good bye then throw a blanket over him before you leave. You toss your stuff in the car and jump in.

Speeding down the wet road you risk the chances and start putting on your make up while you drive. You arrive at Seyukis house just a minute late but it's ok because he's not ready either.

You're putting on your lipstick when he comes out and sits down in the car beside you, saying, "I'm sorry I'm late I spent to long in the shower and… oh well, never mind it doesn't seem that your ready either." You finish your lipstick and you back out of his drive way so quick he actually grabs the dash board.

You drive down the street and pass Wakako and Celina walking under umbrellas, but no Kagome. she must be with Inu-Yasha again. you think and turn towards the school. You park close to the door but you are still absolutely drenched when you get inside, since you didn't have an umbrella.

You shake your head and water sprays off everywhere, in colluding on Seyukis almost dry face. You drip down the hall and stop at your locker to grab your blow drier from your locker and put your bag in there. Seyuki looks at you incredulously, "You actually keep a blow drier in your locker?"

You snap at him, "I have a lot of hair ok?" Seyuki grabs some of your long silver hair and lets it slip through his hands. Seyuki then thinks it's hilarious to wipe the water on his hand on your face saying, "Ya I guess you are a little wet." "Seyuki!" you yell and wipe your face on your sleeve. You split up and you go to the grade 11 chemistry class room. You plug in your blow drier and Wakako sits down next to you. She starts talking and you turn on the blow drier to low, so you can sort of be discreet while drying your hair.

Your teacher does finally get frustrated, right before all your hair is dry, and he sends you into the hall with a bucket in each hand. Mark happens to be walking down the hall and stops. "So what are you out for this time?" You shrug, "I was drying my hair in class." He laughs, "Oh ya, Seyuki said something about you actually having a blow drier in your locker."

You're a little inquisitive, "Is that all he said." He shrugged, "Well of course he said it was kinda stupid, but I think it is to." You kick his leg, "Thanks, come on I was so wet, look at how long my hair is." Your hair does go down to past your knees, and amazingly you still don't have split ends.

You manage to make it through to lunch without anymore mishaps. You have to choke down cafeteria food, not meant for demons in any way shape or form. Of course during lunch all the chatter is about the boys, and how Kagome is ill again. "I heard it was chronic nose bleeds." Said Celina, then she continued, "One of her pillows is completely stained, or so I've heard." You nod, knowing full well where Kagome is.

The rain subsides throughout the day, which is good, but you really do enjoy the rain. You drive the girls all home and Seyuki said he'd walk. You tried to convince him to come but he said it was ok, which you knew meant he didn't want to be fawned all over by Wakako and Celina. You drive them home then return to your own.

Shessomaru's waiting at the door for you when you get home and he almost tackles you on your way in. You push him back and say, "At least let me get in and change first." You set your bag down in the kitchen and go change into shorts and a tee shirt. He comes into your room and grabs you from behind, biting your ear playfully, "Lets do what we did last night again."

You giggle and say, "Ok, ok, but let me do my homework and go through the mail first." He kisses your neck the says, "Sounds good." You walk out and get the mail and return. You open all the bills first., then go online and send the payments to each company. You don't have any credit cards (a strange idea for now a days, but if you are having money problems, I would suggest you look up the seminars that Dave Ramsey puts on.) so you don't have to worry about any of those, not that you don't get them in the mail every month.

You sit down to your transactional focus homework and start looking up information about different views of the beginning of the earth. You right up the rough draft of the assignment at hand, making sure to discuss all the different views of the origin of life, and save it. You then work on your chemistry homework. After about an hour you say "I give up! This is so stupid!"

You don't quite get chemistry really. You stand up and stretch and go to find Shessomaru. He's not in his room or the living room so you look outside. You don't see him in the yard so you wander into the bush, following his sent. You find him lying under a tree in a simple tee shirt and jeans. He opens his eyes and looks up at you.

He smiles and says, "I knew you'd find me." He stands up and puts his arms around you, "are you done your homework now?" He asks. You nod and run your hands up and down his biceps. ( which are very nice, by the way) "Do you want to go back to the house?" He says, trying to cater to you.

You look around, you're pretty deep in the bush and no body but you walks through there, so you eventually answer, "No. it's nice here, now that the suns out again." he nods, "Good." Then he pulls you against him and kisses you. You push him back against the tree and press your self against him. You kiss his neck and nibble at his ear. He starts to take off your shirt at which you stop and say, "Um, no stripping outside of the house though, ok?" He nods then starts kissing along your collar bone.

The sun starts to set and you say, "Do you want to stay our here and watch the sun set?" he thinks for a minute then answers, "That sounds fine." You run to the house and get a blanket, which you spread on the ground when you return. You sit down together and lean on a tree as you watch the sun slowly sink behind the horizon, painting the sky a symphony of reds, oranges and purples.

You chat through out this time and you realize that, he is never as icy or anything any more, so you ask him, "Shessomaru, you seem so at-easy and… happy all the time, might I inquire as to why this change has come about?"

He looks at you and answers slowly, picking his words so he can say exactly what he means to, "Well… on the other side of the well there was many demons, and demon slayers. My life was at stake there, but here, this world is really quite pathetic, I could fell asleep by this tree and I woke up completely unharmed. So now I do not have to worry about such things as who I shall meet, and probably kill."

You nod and say ok, but he interrupts, for he was not finished, "And.. I've never had anything to be happy about before, so though it may seem I'm carefree, I'm not, I'm just taking full advantage of the time I have here."

The stars are starting to come out so you lie down on the blanket and gaze at the sky. You point out the different constellations to him, and he points out some to you. You cuddle up beside him with your head on his chest and your arm draped across him.

"You know." You say, "You make me happy as well, before now I could never be completely real with any one, for fear of being found out. Right now I'm completely content with my life." He pulls you closer to him and kisses your forehead. "That's good t know." he answers. It starts to get chilly so you pack up and go home.

He kisses you good night and you go your separate ways to your bed rooms. You wash your face and brush your teeth, clean your nails and brush out your hair, then you flop down on your bed under your big comfy duvet. You turn off the lamp and lie in the darkness with your thoughts. I'm glad he's finally happy, and I'm glad I'm finally happy as well. This is right, and it's so nice to have this. I wonder though, he said he wasn't care free, something is still burdening him, but I suppose we all have a pack on our backs.
