Your new alarm clock goes off on your bed side table. (Which still has a cut in it from the incident with the other one.) You fumble with the unfamiliar buttons and try to turn it off. You give up and just turn the volume down to nil. You get up and stretch then grab a clean uniform from the drier.

You have a hot shower this morning and use like half a bottle of conditioner on your hair. I should really buy bulk conditioner, it'll be cheaper and I'd have to buy it less often. Of course your hair is naturally clean and silky and beautiful so you only condition it once a week. You step out of the shower and dry your self off quickly.

Blow drying your hair takes a long time, but in the end it shines and dances in the air, light as a feather and glorious as ivory. You slip on your uniform and gather the dirty laundry from the various places in the house. When you go to Shessomarus room to get his you lie down the bed beside him and kiss his cheek, "Time to get up, Sweet heart."

He does not open his eyes at first, but flings his arms around you and rolls you over him to the other side and on top of you. He kisses you and strokes your hair then looks at you with a smirk, saying "Good morning beautiful." You smile, "You're happy today." His smile wavers just a little, "Well you see, tomorrow we return to the feudal era, and this won't happen, at least not for a while."

You nod and look over at his clock. "I have to get ready to go, Shessomaru, so you need to get off of me." He kisses your neck then sits up and kisses your hand, answering, "Ok." He steps off the bed and stands in his boxers, arm extended to help you up. You take the offer and he pulls you to your feet.

You kiss his chest then continue on your quest to gather the laundry. You start the machine and make a lunch, putting back the extra money from what you took yesterday, which had been way too much. You grab your stuff and Shessomaru wanders into the kitchen, and sits down at the table, still not dressed. "When are you getting home today?"

You answer with out a thought, "I get out of school at 3:35; I should be home just after that." He nods then stands up and walks towards the door where you meet him. He kisses you softly and licks yoru lip payfully. He says, "I'll be waiting for you" and closes the door behind you, as you say over your shoulder, "And put some clothes on you hobo!"

Seyuki catches up with you on your way to school, and you meet up with Celina and Wakako on the way. Kagome does not come to school again. Wakako spends this time whispering to Celina "Isn't he dreamy? Isn't he so hot?" Then Celina would chatter back, "Oh, I know, I wish I was up there next to him, instead of Tabitha."

After about five minutes of that you look back at them and they close their mouths. "You know you guys…" You begin saying and walking backwards to face them, "Seyuki and I can hear everything you're saying." Celina's mouth drops, "What, you mean you heard everything?"

You nod and Seyuki answers calmly, "Its ok, I hear it all the time. If you really wanted to walk by me, why didn't you come up and start a conversation, I'm up for that anytime." At that warm response to their panic they started sighing and cooing about him again. "He's so understanding and so nice." Celina would whisper and Wakako would say back, "Isn't he though? I just want to marry him."

First class is grade 12 physics, with Seyuki. You guys sit down together, like usual and he leans over and asks, "Do they always talk about me like that?" You nod then add, "Sort of, it's a little less stupid when your not there to over power their brains." The teacher writes a "Nasty problem", as he titles them, on the board for you to solve in the first 15 minutes of class. You jot it down and automatically start explaining it to Seyuki.

The next class, Grade 12 ELA isn't very exciting as only you and Mark are in that class, while all your other friends are in either the grade 11 class or the other ELA class. You seem to get a lot more work done in this class than others; I guess the reason's pretty obvious why.

The day breezes by all the way up to grade 11 applied with the girls. As advanced as the class may be, you're really quite board with it; it's just so easy. You quietly pass notes to Kagome about what she did while she wasn't at school.

The note reads, "Ya, we met Sangos brother again, I feel so bad for her. Her brother is being controlled you know, and she wont kill him, but he doesn't care. She wants to help, but if she takes out the jewel shard that controls him, he'll die. Inu-Yasha acted like an insensitive jerk again, but… he apologized this time and he seemed so sad about everything. He's so confusing some times."

You write back, "Well love seems to be that way, remember he's been rejected his whole life, so I'd understand if he's always on the offensive, rather than defensive." She replies, "Ya I guess so. He seems uneasy about something lately, it's weird. I guess he's just protecting me."

The bell rings and you go to your locker and exchange your books for the ones you have homework dew in on Monday. Seyuki comes up behind you silently and attempts to tap you on the shoulder but before he can you grab his pinkie and turn it around over your head and twist his arm.

He falls to his knees and you push it back more and he falls to his face. "I give up I give up!" He calls from the ground. You let him go and turn back to your locker. "Geez, why do you always have to pull that kung-foo shit on me, Tabitha?" He asks as he ascends to his normal stature. You shrug, "You should have been expecting it by now.

He holds out his hand and pouts, "But you hurt my hand…" You roll your eyes and grab his hand and give it a quick massage, then a light peck on his finger. "There, if that's not good enough I know tons of girls at this school who would die to kiss your little finger better. Some day you're going to have to grow out of that, you know, we're not little kids anymore." You grab your bag and slam your locker shut, "Let's go!" You say and start to walk towards the doors.

You walk out of the doors into the blindingly beautiful sunlight. You slip on a pair of sun glasses and walk across the school lot. As you go you hear someone calling your name. You look up and see Shessomaru standing in the shade of a tree by the sidewalk.

He's wearing his dark green suit, which looks incredibly hot on him, and holding a bouquet of roses, carnations, and iris' and fern leaves. Where did he get those? I did show him how to use money, but I didn't expect him to actually purchase anything. He smiles at you and steps towards you, out of the shade. He stops abruptly as Seyuki comes up beside you. Seyuki leans down and whispers in your ear, "Who the hell is that? I've never seen him before."

Shessomaru regains his composure and continues to walk towards you, with his hair following him, flowing with a sheen like silk. He reaches you before you can come up with some sort of way to explain to Seyuki 'who the hell he is'.

On reaching you Shessomaru leans down and kisses you lightly with his hand under your hair. You're surprised but you just accept him and kiss him back. He hands you the flowers as he draws away, and says, "Nice to see you, Tabitha."

You take the flowers and look at him dumbfounded. Seyukis mouth is hanging open and you remember that he doesn't know who Shessomaru is. You stutter, "I... uh... Shessomaru this is Seyuki, he's my best friend and… uh, Seyuki this is Shessomaru he's my…"

Seyuki interrupts and finishes you sentence for you, "Your boyfriend." He says, with a very hollow voice, still staring at where Shessomarus and your heads used to be connected. (So basically the space between you and Shessy) Guilt strikes you through as you realize this is yet another thing you hadn't told him.

Seyuki regains his composure and says, "Hey, how's it going?" and sticks out his hand. (To shake Shessomarus hand, in case you didn't get that.) Shessomaru looks at his hand and back at his face. "How is what going where?" He asks harshly, sounding like the Shessomaru you knew in the feudal era. Seyuki looks at you and you look at him and smile awkwardly. "Oh Shessomaru, you're so funny." You laugh and grab his arm and start walking, grabbing Seyukis arm and dragging him along as well.

You walk in between them, and you really are happy to see Shessomaru. (and not have any one freaking out or him killing anyone, that's really nice to.) You're also glad to be with your very best, life long friend, but as happy as you are, you can feel the tension building. In the silence you could almost see the sparks flying back and forth between them above your head. They don't look at each other, or say anything, but you know there's warfare happening right now.

Choosing to try and stop this you speak up, "Hey, Shessomaru, have you ever played poker? I play with the guys a lot, Seyuki's really good he taught me most of what I know." Seyuki, thrilled at being praised so highly in front of his new "arc nemesis" answers, "Ya, but you're way better than I am now. I could probably learn stuff from you!"

Not wanting to lose his ground, Shessomaru puts his arm around you and says, "You're really that good, Tabitha? Maybe you can teach me how to play." Seyuki then interrupted, "You know we're playing this weekend if you want to come Tabitha." You're getting more frazzled by the minute.

Finally you put your hands up and walk a few paces ahead and turn around. They stop abruptly and quite down immediately. You're standing in front of your house, with your hands on your hips, and you start to lecture, "Ok you guys, I don't know what the heck is up with you two! I wanted you guys to be happy to meet each other. My best friend, who I can always count on, and my boyfriend, who stands by my side. Come on, you have barely said hello and you're already at each others throats, for no good reason!"

Seyuki bursts before Shessomaru could, although they were mostly speaking at the same time. "You say I'm your best friend, but I didn't even know about your first boyfriend! And you seem pretty serious." But you didn't catch the rest as Shessomaru started to interject, "How would you feel if I was seen walking alone with another girl and laughing and flirting with her, and she was obviously interested in me!"

After that everything was all slurred. Shessomaru and Seyuki are yelling on the top of their lungs at each other as they argue violently. You get fed up and yell, "ENOUPH!" They both quiet immediately and now it's your turn to explode, "Seyuki, Shessomaru just moved here and he's not even here on the weekends! How could I have introduced you if he just got here this week!"

Then you turn to Shessomaru, who had stated his agreement when you were just finishing, "And you! Don't you trust me at all? Plus, Seyuki is my best friend; he doesn't have any interest in me at all!" You pause. At not hearing his agreement you turn around.

Seyukis face is quite red, and he looks away from you, glaring at the underbrush surrounding your estate. You ask hesitantly, "Do you? You don't, right?" He stares directly at the ground and mutters, "Well, uh, I mean… I…" Shessomaru stands in triumph, but he does not feel very successful.

You are absolutely bemused. You feel a little light headed and step backwards towards the house. He starts to walk away and you walk to him and grab his arm, "Seyuki, is that why you were acting so weird on the way home?" He looks in your eyes, his face still flaring red. He opens his mouth and stutters, "I… I… I…" You drop your arm and try to let him know that you still want to be his best friend. (Without talking)

Suddenly he throws his arms around you and holds you against him, exclaiming, "Tabitha you're funny and confident! You understand me and talk to me and you're the only girl who's never been infatuated with me. I actually know you, and… and… I love you!" Your head's spinning and you know you need to get him off of you, but your body wont move. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion.

You feel a hand wrap around your waist and you see Seyuki stumble backwards. There's yelling but you don't understand a word. Your hearts beating incredibly fast and you're light headed. Shessomaru's holding onto you still and Seyuki seems just as angry as him. You close your eyes and take a deep breath, then it's all gone…
