I do not own Inuyasha or anything else mentioned in this fic.

Kagome and Sesshomaru sat in the laundry room until the buzzer on the dryer sprang to life.

EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! (ß---- that's the buzzer for the dryer.)

A maid that Kagome didn't know came sprinting in and Kagome jumped out of Sesshomaru's arms. The maid looked to the kneeling lord and bowed.

"Oh, Lord Sesshomaru, I'm so sorry to interrupt anything, I just came to get Ms. Kagome's clothes from the dryer and…..I can leave if you umm want me to…."

Her thoughts trailed off there because she had no other reason to be there. Sesshomaru looked at her and then the blushing Kagome. He rose from his spot on the tile floor, with hot cheeks, something that he never had before. He couldn't see them so he paid no mind. His face-other than the light pink racing his cheeks-showed no emotions.

"Asuko, you are not to speak of this. Continue with what you were doing. I will…be in my room….studying for then finals tomorrow."

Sesshomaru walked out of the large room without another word leaving Kagome ad the maid there. The maid walked up to the dryer and pulled out Kagome's warm clothes. She folded them neatly and the handed them to Kagome.

"Here you go Ms. Kagome."

Kagome took the cloths shyly, with a nervous look in her eyes. Kagome went to go walk out, but a hand caught her shoulder. She turned around still with a nervous look still in her lushes, brown eyes. Asuko smiled and squeezed her shoulder.

"Don't worry Ms. Kagome, I wont tell anybody, I promise. You should probably get going. It's pretty late and you guys have the finals tomorrow. Have a good night, I'm turning in."

Kagome nodded and walked out. She headed to Sesshomaru's room and knocked on the door. She waited a second and then went to open the door.

"Enter."

Kagome sighed and opened the door. She knew what had happened earlier was going to cause tension, but if they didn't cut through that tension, they would never be able to go on as friends comfortably, or anything else for the matter.

She walked in his room holding her breath, looking around for Sesshomaru. She found him laying on his bed, an open book in hand, eyes placed firmly on the text of each page.

"Hey, uh I just came to change."

Sesshomaru's eyes lifted from the book for one second, and then they found their way back to the text.

"You could've just used the one downstairs. It would've saved you a little time, then you could leave quicker."

Kagome blushed ad then turned her back towards the bathroom door.

"I uh, didn't know you had one. But I'm here now, I might as well just change here. But why do you think I want to leave so fast?"

Sesshomaru's eyes lifted from his book again, and it snapped shut. He glared at her and then sighed. His eyes weren't hard anymore, but they still shown with a cold glimmer. Kagome saw they change immediately, she wanted to know why they changed, and what made them change. If it was a certain who that was the reason.

"Fine, you may use my bathroom. I have to go somewhere. I wish you a good night. Good bye."

Sesshomaru brushed bye Kagome and walked through the door. She heard it shut and then she turned to the bedroom door.

"Bye," she whispered.

Then she turned to the bathroom and walked in. She took off his cloths and folded them neatly. She saw where her mascara left stains on the sleeves, and cursed herself for wearing the make-up. Now Sesshomaru would have proof of her little break down, and all about a bad dream.

Kagome cursed under her breath and then laid the clothes on the counter. She quickly put on her cloths and then took the set off the counter. All the clothes were laid on his bed except the boxers. She figured that he wouldn't want those back since she wore them as her (*cough*) underwear.

Kagome found her cell phone on Sesshomaru's nightstand dead, and opened. She sighed and picked her old phone up. It was so scratched, battered, and almost broken, but she still loved it. It had been put through heck and back with Kagome, so she had a reason.

She put the phone in her pocket and then threw the boxers over her shoulder. She walked to his bedroom door, took one look over her shoulder to the bed, and then walked out the door, softly closing it shut behind her.

Kagome turned down the hallway and walked down the stairs slowly with a bit of sadness in her eyes. Her lip protruded just the slightest bit, but in her sadness, Kagome didn't see InuTashio and Izayoi sitting in the living room watching her. The shot a nervous glance at each other and then InuTashio walked up to Kagome as she was about to open the door.

"Kagome, dear, are you leaving us for the night?"

Kagome looked back and smiled a bit, the kindness in his eyes seemed to warm her cold thoughts.

"Oh, yeah, I should get home to my little brother. He's gotta be worried out of his mind. Thanks for letting me stay and all, my list of I.O.U.'s for Sesshomaru just grows longer"

InuTashio placed a friendly kiss on Kagome's cheek and Izayoi hugged her neck.

"Will you be at the Summer Bash tomorrow night Kagome? I sure hope so."

Kagome nodded to Izayoi and then walked out the door.

"See you later."

Kagome spotted her bike placed under a little covering and ran over to it. She turned the keys still in the ignition and felt the bike vibrate under her. She smiled to herself and rode out of the drive way. Riding always did calm her mind.

------With Sesshomaru------

Sesshomaru rode into the nearest mall's parking lot, and hopped out of his car. He walked up to the doors and saw that the mall was just about empty. The only people there were the cleaning crew and the workers.

He cursed loud enough for everyone to hear in the echoing food court and then ran swiftly to a store he never once thought he would enter. ( no its not Victoria Secret!!)

Sesshomaru stopped in front of a well lit store with clear boxes in just about every square foot of the room. A single man was standing behind a counter with his head resting in his palm. He looked up to Sesshomaru and smiled putting on a salesman charade.

"Hello there sir! What can I do for you today."

Sesshomaru looked the man over. He stunk of sweat, hair gel -from his ugly comb over- and boredom. He walked past the man to the smallest glass case next to where the man was standing.

"I am looking for a ring. The most expensive one you have. And rap it."

The man sprang to life and ran over to the case where Sesshomaru stood fumbling with his keys. He unlocked the case and pulled out two rings and held them up.

"I have two rings of the same price here. This one is, traditional white diamonds, 2 and a half carets in total, with a 24 caret rose gold band. It really is gorgeous. But this one is more rare. It has a 2 caret heart cut Champaign diamond in the middle. With 3 smaller circle cut diamonds down each side 2 and a half carets in total. The band is silver coated 12 caret white gold. This one should be more than the other, but it is on sale because it needs to be sold and no one will buy it because of its true price."

Sesshomaru surveyed both rings and then took the one with the heart shaped diamond out of the mans hand.

"This one will do. Rap it, now."

Sesshomaru threw back the ring and walked over to the cash register. The man watched him with surprise for about 2 minutes, just standing there with his mouth open.

"Are you going to stand there all night? I said rap it now, I have final studies to do. If you will not rap it I will have my maids do it."

The man took in his words and ran around the counter.

"No, no, Sir. I will do it. I'm sorry for my idiotism. I was um, just taken back."

The man took out a black bag with silver letters reading Tiffany's. He placed the ring in a black velvet box and then put it in the bag. He pulled out 3 or 4 pieces of blue tissue paper and stuffed them in the bag. He turned around and placed the bag on the counter. Sesshomaru picked up the bag and slapped down a Visa on the granite.

The man took it and slid it on the reader. ( I don't know what its called for real!!) and pressed a button.

"Cash or Debit?"

Sesshomaru stared at him and snatched the card back from him.

"Debit."

The man pressed a sequence of buttons and then handed him a receipt.

"Have a good night, Sir. I hope that your lady friend enjoys your gift. Thank you and come again."

Sesshomaru snorted and turned, walking out the door.

"Not likely," he spat back and then he began to run.

He ran all the way past the janitors and cleaning staff, into the parking lot, and to his car. He entered his car and placed the bag in the passenger seat. He sighed and backed out.

"Father is surely going to skin me for this. But an 18th birthday only comes once in a persons life, human or demon."

Sesshomaru threw the receipt in his floorboard and turned onto the highway.

In the floorboard read a receipt: Tiffany's a purchase of; $12.943.23 come back to see us. We hope you enjoy your gift.

"I hope she enjoys it, too."

He turned into his driveway and parked the car after about a 7 minute drive, he walked through the door, without disturbing his parents that stayed right don the hall from him. He heard snores from his father and then a slight smack in the face from his mother, who failed at silencing the snoring with her hand.

Then a louder, harder smack was heard and Sesshomaru hurried to his room. He clicked the door shut and then placed the bag neatly on his desk. He then grabbed the book he was previously reading before he left, and acted as if nothing had ever happened and he didn't just spend over ten thousand dollars on a girls birthday gift. But then he remembered his parents happiness about him bringing a friend- especially one of the female persuasion- they were absolutely giddy. Or at least that's what he gathered from the whispered and sounds of feet jumping up and down.

He sighed closed the book and then turned off his lamp that perched itself upon his nightstand. He took the book in his hand and chunked it to the far corner of his room, the crashing sounds were ignored by him and obviously his sleeping parents since he didn't hear a word out of them. Sesshomaru closed his eyes one last time then, and went to sleep.

------With Kagome at her House------

Kagome ran into the house and then just about tackled Sota on his way up the steps. She was on top of him squeezing his waist, his face buried in her chest. Sota hugged back, but the struggled to get away. When he finally got free he wiped his mouth and then scrubbed his whole face.

"EWWWWW!! KAGOME!! BOOBS!! IN. MY FACE!!!"

Kagome smiled and then turned her gaze to Miroku and Sango who were sitting on the couch watching T.V.

"You guys can leave now, I got things here. Thanks you , so, so much. I don't know what I would have done without you two."

Sango and Miroku gave Kagome a hug and then headed out the door. Sota went to sneak past Kagome to the kitchen, but she had eyes in the back of her head. And they weren't just regular human eyes, they were hawk eyes, hawk eyes that saw every movement Sota made.

"And where do you think you're going Sota?"

Sota stopped tiptoeing and let his head drop.

"I just wanted an ice pop, sis. PLEEAASSEE?"

Kagome smiled sweetly and then walked over to the freezer. She pulled out Sota's favorite treat and then took a bite chewing slowly. She faked hunger and then acted if she were going to faint. She leaned on the fridge for unneeded support and then looked at Sota with an amused gaze.

"Bed, NOW!"

Sota glared at her with ice as cold as the ice pop in her hand and then stomped up to his room.

"Stupid, Kagome, she doesn't need that ice pop, she was out kissing guys all night."

Kagome threw a spoon at her brothers head hitting the mark and then walked past him up to her room.

"Night Sota, sweet dreams."

Kagome's voice was sweet, just like the treat in her had as she slammed the door in his face. Sota almost growled at her, but went to bed anyway. It was the last day of school tomorrow, he had a big party at Shippou's to go to, and his girlfriend Rin would be there. How more awesome could it get?

Kagome went into her room, trashed the half eaten, melting snack that she used to torment her brother with, and flopped down on her bed. She thought about what happened to day. It seemed so long. And how everything seemed so vivid.

She liked t that way. Then she could remember all the funny thing that happened, and was able to try more to forget the bad things.

And with the funny thoughts of that days happening replaying in her head, Kagome was able to drift off into her much needed sleep.
