Disclaimer: "Forgive me i'm canadian"... never mind, back on topic, i do not own shessomaru... WAAAAAAHHH! v.v

You open your eyes and blink as the light shines in your face. "You're awake." Shessomaru says, with his head in his hand and his elbow resting on the end table beside the couch. You're lying across the couch with your head on his lap and his arm over you, grasping your waist. You ask groggily, "What time is it?"

Shessomaru looks at the clock on the wall, then answers hesitantly, "I think… it's.. 1:10" You look over at the clock and correct him, "No, it's 10:05. What happened?"

Shessomaru stares at you, then smiles and brushes your hair out of your face. He takes a deep breath and starts to explain, "Well, Seyuki and I were arguing, and... you blacked out, or at least that's what he called it. You were still breathing, but I was worried none the less. I carried you inside and say with you while he was rushing about the house."

You nod, and he continues, "He hollered at me from the kitchen, "Does she have any smelling salts?" I yelled back, "We keep them in the medicine cabinet, in the bathroom." He looked at me really weird when I said that, and I wasn't sure why, but I just pointed down the hall." he pauses there and smiles, "All we found in the container was a few rings, though. When I saw them I recognized one of them as the ring of my father. At this time it is sealed away some where safe." At this you shrug your shoulders, "Well, people don't steal smelling salt, it was a safe place. That ring has been handed down for generations; I didn't want to lose it."

His green coat is sitting on top of you and you push it off as you sit up. Shessomaru then continues, "Seyuki stayed here till a little while ago. He tried to strike up a conversation multiple times during the evening, but the only thing we had in common was you." He pause at this, then says, "And he found out that we're living together."

You stand up and turn to him, "What? You told him? This is bad, this is bad!" He stands up and guides you back to the couch, "Well when he was looking for the smelling salts he saw the laundry in my room. When he came back he commented, "Do you sleep here often?" I guess he was just trying to be polite and talk to me, but I didn't think before I answered him and I told him I slept here every night. I'm sorry; I didn't realize it was so terrible. It can't be that bad."

You shake your head, "If people find out about this, things will get crazy. What will Kagome do? She'll find out eventually, but still." You walk over to the phone, "I have to call Seyuki." You dial his number, and your stomach is in a knot. You try to be brief and you explain to Seyuki that he has no other place to stay and that you sleep in separate rooms and to PLEASE not say anything to any one about it. He consents, saying he understands, but he didn't sound at all happy. You hang up and turn to Shessomaru. He hugs you and says, "It'll be alright." You put your arms around him and give up, "I hope so."

You go to bed and have trouble falling asleep. You're worried about Seyuki, and decide that you have to talk to him face to face on Monday.
