I know it's been a while since I updated, I wanted to write it long time ago, but I've got exams and many tests at school. This week I have 8 tests X.X Kill me. But review.

Far back in the past I saw his ending
Long before it started I knew his nae

100 things I like about Sesshoumaru-kun

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes after reading the title of the scroll, but smiled nevertheless. He couldn't think of so many things he could like about himself, but it looked like someone could.

Sighing, he returned to reading the scroll.

1. He has got the softest hair ever.
2. His hair is the prettiest.
3. His hair is sooo silky.

Sesshoumaru blinked a few time. Writing about his hair seemed like an easy way to get done with the subject.

The boy shook his head. He should have known it would be something like this.

He started reading again. Fortunately there were only a few more phrases like these. As he read, his smile was growing bigger. The words of praise were making him feel much better.

He'll have to thank her for the gift later.

Tsukiko laid her head on a pillow and stared at the cailing for a while. Nothing really interesting. But she couldn't go to sleep just yet. "Any word from Kenta?" She asked and turned her head to the right.

Touga opened his eyes and looked at his mate lying next to him. 'At least she changed the subject...' He thought.

"Nothing. But tomorrow I'm sending two warriors to check on him." He informed.

Tsukiko ran her fingers through her bangs. "Maybe Ryuukotsusei is suspecting something?" She thought aloud.

Touga rolled on his left side to have a better view. "I don't think so. I've seen Kenta a little while ago and he's doing fine. He had wounded one of my warriors and left with Ryuukotsusei. We didn't even have time to talk."

"So no word from him." She smiled and closed her eyes.

Touga sighed softly, then moved closer to Tsukiko. He put his arms around her shoulders and buried his face in her hair.

Having her in his arms again, smelling her scent and hearing her soft breathing made him feel more relaxed. Sure, they were arguing a lot, but he loved her. And he was glad she didn't push him away.

Kagome heard loud knocking.She opened her eyes and yawned. Suddenly, the doors to her bedroom opened and Arata stepped inside.

"Good morning, lady Kagome!" He chirped. Kagome glanced at him, still not fully awake.

"Huh?"

"Ah, I see you're already dressed up!" He clasped his hands together, as he saw Kagome in the same kimono she wore yesterday. "Very well! Please, follow me." He instructed and left the room.

Kagome yawned once again and left after Arata. When she felt cool air in the corridor, she shivered. Finally awake, she rubbed her eyes, then glanced at the servant boy.

"Where are we going?" She asked. Arata grinned at her.

"Dining room. You'll be joining lord Inu no Taishou at breakfast with lady Tsukiko and prince Sesshoumaru."

Kagome grimaced at the thought of Inu no Taishou's mate. That woman surely didn't like her.

Finally, they reached the dining room. Kagome saw Sesshoumaru kneeling before table and smiled at him. His parents were nowhere to be seen.

"I leave you for now, my lady." Said Arata. He bowed, and then turned on his heel and left.

Kagome watched him go, and when he disappeared, she turned around to look at Sesshoumaru.

"Sit." Said Sesshoumaru. "They will be there in a minute."

Kagome nodded her head and knelt next to Sesshoumaru. "After breakfast we'll go to the village and fix that furisode. If anybody asks, just tell them I'm showing you around."

Again, Kagome nodded her head and looked at the boy. "Thank you very much, Sesshoumaru. I didn't really mean to be such a burden."

Sesshoumaru glanced at her and she smiled brightly. He averted his gaze in instant "It's... nothing."

When he said that, Touga and Tsukiko entered the room. Sesshouaru bowed his head and Kagome repeated his actions. Tsukiko sat vis-a-vis to Sesshoumaru, and Touga sat next to her, facing Kagome.

Everyone reached for their chopsticks and started eating in silence. Kagome looked at the steaming rice with vegetables in her bowl and put some in her mouth. She closed her eyes at blissful taste. "It's delicious!" She exclaimed, then she opened her eyes widely and covered her mouth with hand. She didn't mean to say this aloud.

Tsukiko raised an eyebrow and eyed the girl. Kagome blushed and looked away from demoness. Her eyes fell on Sesshoumaru, who was eating silently with his gaze downwards.

Touga chuckled and Kagome looked at him. "Surely it tastes better than that rabbit you served me." He said.

"You could have at least pretend you like it." She complained.

Tsukiko put down her bowl and spoke. "Kagome." Kagome turned her eyes to demoness, giving her full attention. "Have you thought about what you'll be doing while you're here, yet?"

Kagome nodded her head. "Yes. I asked Haru to find me something to do. I'll go find her later because after breakfast Sesshoumaru will show me around the village." She stated.

"I don't want you working like a servant." Said Touga. "If you don't have anything to do, come to me and I'll find you something." He offered with small smile.

"Thank you, Inu no Taishou-sama." Kagome grinned at him. 'Looks like he's in better mood today.'

Tsukiko narrowed her eyes, then stood up. "Well, excuse me for now. There are things I need to attend to." She shot a glare at Touga. "And you, don't forget about sending the warriors." With that said, she left.

Touga sighed. His mate once again was acting cold. It looked like she was warming up to him only when she was sleeping.

Sesshoumaru put down his bowl and looked at Kagome. Feeling his eyes on her, Kagome gazed at him. He was done with eating and ready to go. Kagome looked at her bowl and it was almost full. She started laughing nervously and started eating again, only faster this time.

Touga raised an eyebrow at her behavior. Then he looked at his son who looked away. "Is something wrong, Sesshoumaru?" He asked with narrowed eyes. Sesshoumaru shook his head. "You're still angry at me, aren't you?" He asked. Kagome looked at Touga curiously. Sesshomaru raised his head. "It doesn't really matter anymore."

"Whut happ'nd?" Kagome asked with full-mouth.

Touga stood up. "It doesn't matter." He stated and left.

Kagome held folded furisode close to her chest, as she walked down the road beside Sesshoumaru. "Say, you're not in very good terms with your father, hmm?"

She waited for his answer, but Sesshoumaru was silent. She huffed in annoyence. Sesshoumaru sighed. "It... wasn't always like this. I feel like something changed.I'm just not sure what and when." He said quietly.

Kagome looked sadly at the boy. "Maybe he's just tired?

"Maybe... We're almost there"

"Huh?" Kagome raised her head and looked at many houses and marketplace, that were like 50 metres away from them. She smiled at the sight. "Come." Sesshoumaru quickened his pace.

Soon, they were standing infront of great mansion. "The dressmaker lives here." Stated Sesshouaru. Kagome wide eyed.

"No kidding? It's huge!"

Sesshoumaru smiled a crooked smile. "Many families live there." He added. Kagoe looked at him.

"So it's like a flat."

Sesshoumaru blinked. "What?"

"Nevermind."

Sesshouaru went upstairs and Kagome followed after him. They entered the first hall.

"Haru lives here. Would you like to see her?" He asked. Kagome saddened. "I'm not sure. I insulted her yesterday and she's angry with me." Sesshoumaru tilted his head to the side and looked at her questioningly, so Kagome continued. "I called her a slave." She confessed.

"Don't worry about it. She probably forgot about it by now."

"Huh?"

"She's got a lot of problems of her own. I mean... She's got problems with her daughter."

Kagome put a finger to her lips. "Looks like you know a lot about Haru."

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "Only things her daughter tells me."

Suddenly one of doors opened. There, stood Haru breathing heavily, with desperate look on her face. She spotted Kagome. "You came to ask for a work, right?!" She almost yelled.

Kagome stared at her dumbly, but nodded her head. "Y-yeah."

Haru smiled weakly. "Maybe you'll take care of my daughter? She's a Maiko (author: apprentice Geisha) and I need someone to keep an eye on her on her lessons. It's really easy. Will you do this? Will you?!"

Kagome took a step back. "S-sure."

Haru looked like she was in heaven. "Thank you!"

"You shouldn't have agreed." Whispered Sesshoumaru.

Suddenly a young girl popped from behind Haru. She had black chin-length hair and rosy eyes. Kagome would swear she has seen her somewhere.

"Hallo." She greeted them. "Did you like your birthday present?" She asked, turning her head towards Sesshoumaru.

"I did. Though some of these compliments were left-handed." He said. The girl giggled.

"Noooo, they weren't."

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. "Birthday?"

The youkai girl looked at Kagome. "It was Sesshoumaru's 100 brithday two days ago." She stated.

Haru sighed. "That's why the festival was held." She said.

"Too bad you missed it." The girl told Kagome. "By the way, what's your name?"

Kagome smiled brightly. The girl was so sweet. "My name is Kagome. What's yours?"

"I'm Yura!"

'Damn.'
