It was simple enough to get Rin into school, so they were only there for about 35 minutes getting her registered and her schedule. Everyone seemed to move faster when the lord of the west requested something to be done. Sesshomaru found it was hard staying focused with Kagome and her sudden obsession with touching. He found himself popping her hand away a few times as they sat together on the other side of the principal desk. She couldn't keep her eyes or her hands off him, it made him smirk mentally, all this over some khakis and sneakers, who would have known. He kind of liked it though, the feeling of being wanted. She was always outspoken before with her needs but now she was just all over him.
Right now he was sitting in the passenger seat of his car as Kagome took the wheel. She fought with him for 10 minutes for this right to drive his car. She was so adamant about taking him out on their first date together. Which is something else he debated as he crossed his arms, glancing away from her, " This is not our first date."
Scenery passed by like a blur as Kagome grinned, " You can't count hanging around the palace as a date."
Sesshomaru just looked out the window, it counted to him, " Where are we going?"
Kagome just grinned, " You'll see."
Sesshomaru looked at her, " And why can't you just tell me?"
She didn't look at him, " Because it's a surprise."
The ride was silent but comfortable. At times they would glance at each other and just smile. No tense feeling or awkward moments. Finally she pulled over into a parking lot. " Come on."
He got out the car, " Where are we?" he asked, turning and rising a brow, " Really."
Kagome just grinned " What, I love carnivals." grabbing his hand, " Come on!" pulling him towards the gate entrance.
There was music, dancing, colorful kites, food, laughter, kids, booths to play games, contests, rides, the works. A happy Kagome pulled a willing Sesshomaru with her. They got on rides, ate cotton candy, played games, just had a ball together.
They were standing in front of a stand, Kagome was biting her lip as Sesshomaru's arm reared and threw a ball. She clapped her hands cutely with a giggle as he knocked over the bottles. He picked out an overstuffed, blue and white, panda teddy bear, and handed it to her. She smiled, hugging it to her chest.
Sesshomaru watched her suddenly blink, then turn around. Following her gaze he frowned, seeing a group young boys eyeing his wife like she was a piece of meat. He slipped his arm around her shoulder, just to show she was taken for, " You dress like a teenager."
Kagome rolled her eyes with smirk, " Look who's talking." Tilting her head in another direction. Sesshomaru glanced over and saw a group of teen girls, winking and blowing kisses at him.
Sesshomaru pulled Kagome closer, " This was your idea." walking passed them.
Kagome looked up as they walked away, " I love it."
He looked at her, " Love what."
She smiled, " You being happy."
He glanced at her, but didn't respond to the comment, but a small smirk played on his face. They were sitting at a table when music played and something like a parade started. They watched, smiling as clowns, bands, and jokers moved down the aisle. They were having a great time together.
Kagome was giggling when a little girl grabbed her hand. She shook her head, " No, I don't dance."
The cute little girl pouted, Kagome smiled, " I don't. Sorry."
Sesshomaru looked at her, " You dance all the time." She glanced at Sesshomaru with a smile as she let herself be pulled into the street with the other dancing females.
Kagome shook her head with a smile, trying to pull away, but the dancers just grabbed her arms. Her head went back in a joyful giggle as she gave in. What the hell.
Her hands went in the air as she smiled dancing to the fast tempo music. He watched as she rocked her body to the music so skilled and graceful. Her hands went in the air as she spun, dancing to the beat, looking elegant and graceful. Her body moved to the now slow beat with ease.
Kagome always had a good time dancing by herself. Her eyes were half closed, just enjoying herself and the feel of the music. She really did love to dance. She turned again smiling, then ran over, grabbing Sesshomaru's hand, pulling him with her on the street to dance.
Placing his hands on her hips as she draped her arms around his neck and a delicate leg between his thighs, they began to grind into each other with a slow sensual motion.
She turned skillfully in his arms, her back against his chest and grind against him. Stepping together with the beat. Sesshomaru twirled her around as she came back up so she was facing him. Her hands went back around his neck as they closed the small gap between them. Feeling the heat of each other bodies. They moved slowly, dancing to their own tune. Eyes locked on each other. As if magnetic together, trying to move closer to each other. Clear blue stared into hot molted amber. She liked dancing with him. It felt as natural as breathing. They fit together so perfectly, like a jig saw puzzle.
Kagome moved closer, as Sesshomaru leaned towards her. Their lips kissed with a tender passion. Her arms tightened around his neck as she opened to him. His hands going to her waist, tasting the sweetness of her mouth. Her tongue dipping in his mouth tasting his natural flavor. There was something here. Some emotion they couldn't speak of. They both knew it, refused to state it, but knew it. Kissing each other lips, tasting each others mouth, with a soft, sensual desire. That emotion building, becoming a heat that spread through them both.
Kagome pulled away first with a smile, " Well."
Sesshomaru smirked, " Well."
She giggled, making that soft sound he was growing to really like. There was a tap on his shoulder, he turned, seeing a man with a camera. " Souvenir photo?"
Sesshomaru looked back to Kagome, " Fine." His arms going to her waist, pulling her closer. He paid the three dollars for the instant Polaroid. She looked at it as he lowered it for her to see. Kagome had her hand on one of his cheeks, her face pressed against the other, her other hand on his wrist smiling, his arms around her waist.
She titled her head with a giggle, " You look good."
Sesshomaru nodded, " You too." She grabbed his hand, " Come on." walking him back to the table so she can grab her teddy bear.
The last ride of the day, Sesshomaru had his arm around Kagome as they rode the Ferris wheel. She was smiling as the tea cup they were in swayed lightly. The sky demanded attention, perfect blue with fluffy clouds, the sun shinning bright and beautiful. Like a painting of the perfect day. The lights below making everything look so festive and joyful.
" It's beautiful."
" Yes. Very." He agreed, looking up at the sky, but glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, his meaning not the same as hers. Watching her in the rays of the sunlight, not caring less about the nature's beauty. She glanced at him, but what he had meant was lost on her. She turned back to the sky sighing happily before scooting closer to him and rested her head to the side so it rested on his shoulder.
" I always love being in the air. It makes everything seem so, happy."
Sesshomaru glanced at her, " Really."
Kagome giggled, knowing he didn't get what she was saying, " I mean, it just, makes me so happy. Like flying."
He nodded, " Right."
She hit his shoulder, with another giggle, " Shut up."
He looked at her, " I was agreeing with you."
She rolled her eyes, with a smile, pulling her teddy bear closer " Whatever." Snuggling closer. " Pretty good first date huh."
" This is not our first date."
She grinned, " It is." she glanced over, " Wait till our next stop."
He glanced over to her, " Where are we going now."
She just grinned, " You'll see."
They were getting off the ferris wheel, hand in hand when Kagome heard her name. " Yo I know dat ain't Blu I'm seeing."
Both eyes looked up, Kagome turned with a grin, slightly surprised to see her old friend, " Oh shit, Obi!"
Obi's hazel eyes grinned, his short blonde hair jelled up in spikes, his built thick, strong and nice, " Come 'ere girl." She laughed as he pulled her in a hug, his 6'2 height towering over her.
Sesshomaru frowned in jealousy. No one was suppose to touch what's his. Obi saw the look as he pulled away looking over Kagome's head, " You on a job?"
Kagome laughed, glancing over her shoulder at the frowning demon lord, " Nah, that's hubby."
He nodded seeing she wasn't going to explain any further, " We should catch up." He pulled out a piece a paper, slipping it in her hand, " Hit me up later."
She nodded, " Cool." He grinned, leaning in, kissing her cheek, turning, walking away. Kagome just smiled, turning back towards Sesshomaru, seeing he was highly upset at the whole interaction.
He crossed his arms, his frown still in place, " Explain."
Kagome giggled nervously, a hand rubbing the back of her neck, " We worked on a job together a while back in Turkey."
Sesshomaru frowned, " You seem close."
Kagome made a face, he actually would have been her first if they weren't ambushed in their hotel room. She cleared her throat with an embarrassed smile, " Yeah, we cool."
Sesshomaru just raised a brow, as if able to read her mind, " You call him and I'll kill him."
Kagome raised a brow at the sudden jealousy, " I can't have guy friends now?"
" We both know you were more than just friends."
Kagome felt her blush but refused to admit he was right, " And how would you know that?"
Sesshomaru stepped closer and Kagome glanced down making Sesshomaru nod his head, " That's how I know."
Blue eyes blinked, looking back up, " What?"
Sesshomaru crossed his hands, " You have a habit of looking at what you want, no matter how inappropriate."
Kagome frowned, confused, " I don't get it."
Sesshomaru just raised a brow, then glanced down. Kagome followed his line of vision, then gasped in surprised realizing what he was talking about. When he stepped closer her eyes fell to his pants. She blinked hard and frowned, did she really just check out his dick print. Did she check out Obi's. She shook her head, eyes wide, she did didn't she, " It's not like that!" her voice coming out a little too high as she tried to explain, " We were close one time be we never went that far, he didn't take.."
Sesshomaru cut her off, " I know. Because I did. And its mines. And I'm not sharing."
Kagome laughed, shaking her head again with smile, " How often do you catch me looking at your dick."
Sesshomaru smirked, " A lot."
She laughed again, " I had no idea I did that." she suddenly frowned, " I'm sorry, that was rude. Checking out Obi like that." her face gave a confused look, " We never fucked tho, I don't know why I would check out his package."
" You didn't."
Kagome blinked, " What?"
" You were staring at his lips."
Kagome laughed, rubbing a hand across her face, she looked up to her husband, " Your head is waaaaaaaay better than his."
Sesshomaru smirked, pulling her into his arms, " Wanna make a bet?"
Kagome glanced up, feeling so safe in his strong arms, " Sure."
" The next time you even look at another man in my presence with those intentions, you drop and give me 20 or I kill them and lock you in a closet for a week."
Kagome raised a brow, that's not really a bet, " Push ups or sit ups?"
" Push ups."
The miko grinned, if he wanted to be in control, fine, she didn't mind him taking control. " Deal." She pulled on his arm, heading towards the parking lot, " Come on, there's more spot I want to show you."
Rin was rolling her eyes for the 500th time in the last 2 hours. She was experiencing the most typical cliché first day of elementary school. She had only seen Shippo once this morning and was disappointed to see he wasn't in any of her classes for the first half of the day.
Now she was at recess and had stunk up one of the tall trees to be alone before her annoyance raised any higher. She was talking on the new cellphone Kagome gave her this morning to said woman who seemed to be enjoying her stress, " These demons are so stuck up."
" People are bitches everywhere kid, get use to it."
Rin frowned, looking around the childish playground as children played their silly games, " I'm not making any friends."
" Did you try?"
She made a face, " Not exactly."
" Then how you know you won't like it there, you haven't even given it a chance."
Her eyes rolled again, " I'm not a kid, I shouldn't be here, can't I just take the GED test. I heard its not even that hard."
Kagome laughed again on the other line, " Rin, your 10, you should be in school. Give it a chance. It could be fun."
Rin frown deepen knowing she wasn't going to get her way, " Fiiinnnnnnnneeeeeeee."
Kagome laughed again, " Your so cute kid, I'll see you when you get out."
Rin huffed as she hung up the phone, from the vantage point she had she could see the entire play area of the school. The sandbox and jungle gym on one side, the play ground on the other, the basketball court on the next and the swings on the the far end. Everyone seemed to be having a good time but then again they were just kids she figured, all they knew how to do was play. She was so over this age, recess almost felt beneath her. With another roll of her eyes, she let herself fall backwards off the tree branch she was sitting on. Gravity took over as she swan dived towards the ground, she grabbed a lower branch to slow her descend, twisting around it once before letting go and landing in a crouch. Standing slowly she dusted off her hands and made sure she didn't mess up her new shoes.
" Cool trick."
The small girl jumped at the voice and turned, she blinked, seeing a kid leaning against the trunk of the tree she just jumped out of. He was tall, kind of slinky but in a lean way. His black hair reached his shoulder, his bangs getting in his eyes. His green eyes were a dark emerald color, and kind of scary if he was just staring at you. His black shirt had neon green skull on it and didn't quite match the off black cargo pants he wore.
He crossed his arms and saw that he was wearing a spiked bracelet, " I'm James."
Rin raised a brow, " I didn't ask."
He laughed, it was deeper than she expected for a kid his age, " You new here?"
Rin nodded, " Yeah, its my first day."
" What grade?"
" 5th."
A thick brow went up, " You look older than that."
Rin frowned, but found herself curious, " What grade are you in?"
"7th."
Rin nodded, so he had to be about 12 years old, " My name's Rin."
The boy just nodded, " Where'd you learn how to climb like that?"
She just shrugged, " I don't know, I just can." she wasn't about to tell him she learned parkour from being on the streets.
He stepped closer, those green eyes looking her over slowly. Rin stood in her blue Bermuda's jeans, stopping above her knees, a form fitting spaghetti strap gray t shirt had a white splatter like design across the top. White sneakers, and a white leather belt around her small waist. She was happy Kagome jelled her bangs back and pulled her hair into a ponytail at the back of her head. She swung it defiantly, snapping her fingers, " My eyes are up here buddy."
The older boy smirked, " You're cute."
Rin just put a hand on her hip, with a roll of her eyes, " So they keep telling me." she mumbled before turning away. She saw her class was lining up to go back inside the building. She glanced back to the boy still leaning on the tree, " I gotta go."
James smiled, nodding his head, " I'll see you around shortcake."
Rin raised a brow at the nickname but just rolled her eyes as she turned and jogged to catch up with her class. She felt the emerald eyes on her, but she didn't turn to look back.
The room was all red with black furniture, the carpet was a darker red than the walls and had a few black rugs scattered around. Tsubaki sat behind her black desk, papers on her desk neatly stacked in a pile, everything nicely organized. She turned at the knock on her door, seeing Naraku's loyal servant walk in, " Kagura is everything prepared?"
" Yes." The wind demoness answered, rolling her eyes.
Tsubaki nodded, " Preparations for the room is complete?"
" Again. Yes."
" Is the sword in our possession?" There was a pause, making Tsubaki look up from her desk, Kagura crossed her arms, " Apparently the thieves didn't find it in Lord Sesshomaru's home."
Tsubaki blinked before turning fully to her partner's servant, " You do know all these preparations are pointless if we don't have that sword."
" I don't know anything. Naraku doesn't share his plans with me."
Her hand was quick, reaching out and grabbing the girl by its neck, letting her hand catch fire, burning the skin of the woman, hearing her whimper in pain, "He told me of your betrayal. I like a rebel." She calmly said before dropping her to the floor.
Kagura coughed, fanning her neck, " Naraku wants you in position for the next phase. I have to go grab someone."
" And the sword?"
Kagura shrugged, " I don't know, he said something about staging a kidnapping or something, ask him."
" Ask who what."
Kagura turned and frowned at the hanyou standing behind her, she bowed her head, " I was just doing what you told me to."
Naraku simply nodded, " Go. You have a job."
She nodded and turned, walking down the hall, " Send in Tobi." He called out, knowing the woman heard him.
Minutes later, a man stepped in the room, the leader of the gang he used to do his heavy lifting, T Prone, they called themselves. A bunch of scum bikers that hit any place for the right amount of money. His olive eyes glanced around the study slash office. He would probably look better if he dropped all that weight. He was short, maybe in his early 40s late 30s. His stomach probably reached to his thighs. He had hair but it was cut in a low fade.
He stuck a hand in his pocket as he wiped the spit from the corner of his month, " Sup boss."
Naraku raised a brow, " There is a little girl that was recently put in the care of my miko. I'll give you a location. Grab her."
He scratched at his buzz cut for a moment, then dusted the dandruff off his jacket sleeve, " This the chick that been all over the news with the lord of the west?"
Naraku nodded, " Yes. But no worries, you will be armed appropriately."
The fat man nodded, " Got it, I'll get the gang together." he said, bowing his head before walking out the door.
Tsubaki stood after sliding papers into her desk draw, " It will be a problem if we don't get So'unga in our possession. Everything we been working for would go to waste."
Naraku nodded with a smiled, " The girl will convince her to give it over."
Tsubaki raised a brow, " Do you really think she will come for the kid?"
Naraku grinned as he turned to the dark priestess, " Actually, the kid is a distraction."
Tsubaki raised a brow, " What do you mean?"
Naraku locked the room door before turning to the woman, " My thieves didn't find the sword in the dog's home, but I didn't say they didn't find anything."
Tsubaki laughed, " I love the way you think." she whispered, reaching up and touching his shoulders.
Naraku smirked, kissing those cold lips, this was a distraction of his own. It is going to be a shame when he had to kill her in the end.
Hours has passed, Sesshomaru was driving the car back as Kagome held an ice pack to her temple. He shook his head with a small smirk, " It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye."
Kagome grinned, " Hey I won didn't I."
Sesshomaru chuckled lightly, who knew his wife was so competitive when it came to laser tag. She went all out during the match, her training coming in handy as she climbed up to a difficult vantage spot and went for the kill. She tagged him right in the head, moments before she fell off a ladder of course, hence the bruise on the side of her face. He just shook his head at his wife, making her laugh again. " Don't worry, it's almost gone anyways."
Sesshomaru parked in front of the school they were at earlier today, like many other parents waiting for their kids to be released from school. Opening the door to wait outside the car, many whispers erupted from the other parents. Some of jealously at the young and gorgeous couple, some of interest as to who they were and what they were doing here.
Sesshomaru walked around the vehicle and leaned against the back door. His legs crossing at the ankle, his arms crossing over his chest.
Kagome watched him with a smile, his eyes that delicious deep shade of gold, amber like the setting sun. His silky hair contained in his thick braid down his back. His high cheek bones defined and gorgeous and his aura screaming sexy and untouchable. She was in love with how relaxed he was right now. His arms long with cuts of strong muscles, legs toned with a certain physique. His laid-back outfit making him looked so comfortable but oh so sexy.
She blinked, seeing him smirk at her, his fangs making a stream of fire run through her veins, " Stop staring at me like that, there are people around."
Kagome giggled, moving to stand in front of him, " So what."
Sesshomaru smirk widened, " We can't do what you're thinking, that's what."
Her cheeks turned a rosy red, Sesshomaru was tempted to laugh at the blushing female, instead he leaned up, standing straight and touched her arms, pulling her closer. She leaned into him with a smile, " Let me get some in the backseat."
He shook his head with a soft chuckle, " Are you crazy?"
She just grinned, " Yes but that's not the point."
His arms went around her waist, " You are something else woman."
" You should get to know me then." She smiled, leaning in for a kiss, her arms going around his neck, his spice always so tasty to her.
They pulled away as a bell rang, signaling the kids were coming out. Kagome turned in his arms seeing as he hasn't let go yet and noticed she was getting some nasty stares from the other mothers on the premises. She smirked at a few and winked an eye at the haters, earning a smile and giggle from a few of the other parents who can easily see the love shared between the two young adults.
The doors to the school finally opened and kids ran out like ants. Blue eyes searched through the mass of children looking for ones that she recognized.
" Kagome!"
Kagome grinned seeing Rin running her way, she bent, bracing herself for impact. Sure enough the young girl ran right into her at full speed, wrapping small arms around her neck, squeezing as tight as they can. She smiled, " How was your first day?"
Rin smiled, pulling back, " It was great!" she giggled with a cute roll of her eyes, " Considering my annoyance this morning."
Kagome laughed, scooping the small girl up, " Ready to go home?"
Rin blinked, a surprised yet hopeful look on her face, " Can I call it that?" she whispered.
Kagome raised a brow, realizing what she was talking about, she didn't even know she let the word slip out. When did the child last have a home? She turned with Rin on her hip, looking to Sesshomaru, knowing he heard the question.
He stared into blue eyes for a moment, almost able to read the woman's mind. He appreciated that she left the decision up to him. Acknowledging that he was the Alpha meant a lot in the inu clan. She would follow whatever decision he made without question, and it only attracted him to her even more. Was it okay for her to call it her home was the question. His mind was quick to think it over, he honestly didn't hate the idea. The girl was growing on him, and he supposed if he ever felt differently, he could always change his mind.
Turning, he opened the back door, " Let's go home."
Rin's smiled matched the sun, she hopped off of Kagome and ran over, hugging Sesshomaru's leg. Amber eyes glanced down at the small girl, she barely reached his waist, not sure what to do with the sudden affection. He gently patted her head, " Rin."
Brown eyes glanced up, with a smile she nodded, knowing he was telling her to let go. She took a step back and wiped at a few tears that dripped on her cheek. " Sorry."
The young girl was turning to get into the car when she heard a name. The group turned as one seeing Shippo walking over to say goodbye to his girlfriend.
Rin walked into his open arms, " I'll call you later love."
He nodded, pulling away first, " Yeah sure." he touched her wrist, " Hey, were you hanging out with James today?"
Rin raised a brow, she and Shippo didn't share the same recess so how would he know that. " We weren't hanging out; we were just talking."
The young fox frowned, " You shouldn't talk to him, he's weird."
Rin put her free hand on her hip, she didn't like the way her boyfriend was being so judgmental, " Weird how?"
He shook his head, " He just is. I want you to stay away from him."
Brown eyes rolled, " I can't have guy friends now."
Shippo frowned, " You don't know him, I'm trying to look out for you."
Slowly but firmly Rin took Shippo's hand off of her wrist, " You're right, I don't know him, so let me make the decision of what type of person he is before stereotyping."
She smiled, " I love that you're looking out for me though." she said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
Kagome watched as Rin got into the car and raised a brow, she handled her man's jealousy so well. Perhaps she should take pointers from the child, she turned with a smirk. Sesshomaru saw the look on her face and closed the car door behind the small human, " Don't even think about it."
Kagome burst out laughing, shaking her head, turning to get in herself. She was surprised to see a woman behind her. She was older, that was easy enough to tell, she had average features. Black hair and warm brown eyes. She was lean, standing in a long blue skirt and green shirt.
Kagome smiled a bit, " Hi, can I help you?"
The woman smiled back, " Is that your child?"
Kagome stared at her for a moment, something tickling her senses, " She's with me, yes."
The woman smiled more, " And that is your husband?"
A frown was starting to curve her lips down, something was off, " Why?"
At the suspicion the woman simply turned away, " No reason, you have a lovely family. Bye."
Kagome watched her go, her legs itching to follow her, confront her, see what she was up to, something was definitely weird about the woman. Sesshomaru leaned over in the driver's seat, " Kagome you coming?"
Blue eyes glanced over, she then turned back, the woman was gone. Damn it she should have tagged her aura before she left, " Yea." she mumbled, getting into the sports car. Strapping in her seat belt as Sesshomaru pulled off.
Around the corner, a body leaned against the wall of an alley, her soft frame hidden in shadows, her hand was to her ear, talking on a cellphone, " Your miko is quite strong, stronger than she realizes I believe."
" Follow her." came the command from the other line.
The woman smirked, " With pleasure." hanging up. Brown eyes glanced around for a moment, making sure the coast was clear before she closed her eyes. Her entire body shifted into that of a teenager. Her ripped up shorts a dark blue, under a black t shirt that had a picture of a gold bat on it. Black combat boots laced up her legs and big purple headphones were around her neck. Her hair was still black, but it as shorter pulled back in sloppy pigtails, her bangs spiked a bit. Her eyes now green. Thick black makeup disguised her face as the perfect goth. With a soft smirk she walked over to a parked Malibu, got in and drove off. Following the direction Sesshomaru took just minutes ago.
