I can bite my tongue...

His visit was very short, only two nights. Kagome had coached herself at home, telling her self over and over again that it was just Sesshomaru.

The first thing, and possibly the worst thing, she did was look Sesshomaru up. She had never really followed him, last time she saw him, three years ago, he was fresh of school and working for his dad.

Of course she had heard things about him here and there. She knew he was famous, the face of his family's name, but she had no idea how big he really was. She quickly learned that he was voted sexiest man alive and was the most eligible single man on the market.

Great, just great. He was also named one of the top 10 most important people alive, another just great to add to the list. What happened to Inuaysha's cold uncaring older brother statues? How could she look at him now and play it cool, without looking stupid?

But then again, looks where not everything and she didn't stand a chance with him, not in a million in one years, not that she had ever bought about it before. Kagome would just have to mind her manners, watch her temper and bite her tongue in till he left again.

That however would prove the be easier said, than done.

Inuyasha had called her over the next day, and she went, like she always did, only to open the door and come face to face with him. She froze again "Um, hi" She closes the door,

He stood there and looked at her "I see your position here has not changed miko"

She blinked a few times, not sure on what exactly he was implying "Um, I guess not?"

"Tell me, has your fetish with my younger half brother worn off, now that he has a human lover"

Kagome could not believe it, and her mouth opened in shock, first off she didn't have a fetish for Inuyasha, and second, who cares if they where human!

"Me and your brother are just friends" She laughed nervously, biting her tongue hard. Back in the day it was nothing for them to get into a spat, but they where not kids anymore.

"Kagome, there you are, come on the game is about to start woman" Inuaysha poked his head from around a hall door,

"Coming Inuyasha" She called to him, he disappeared. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, he sure did sound the same, and he spoked the same, but boy did he look different.

"Indeed" was all he said to her before walking off.

for the most part, he spent time with his father, not with them, so Kagome thought nothing more about it. But as night fell Toga insist she come out to eat with them on their little family outing. She of course tried to get out of it, and even more so when Sesshomaru came down the stairs sporting a full and sexy suit. He was making it very hard for her.

"Father why must you insist, the girl clearly is out of place, though, she quit suits the half breed"

Again she had to bite her tongue, but that didn't mean Inuyasha did "What is that supposed to mean asswhole"

"Inuyasha, not in front of Kagome!" Their father had snapped.

"Really, I am ok, you guys go" She tried to back away, only to back into Sesshomaru, who had moved closer to the door "Hi" she said as she looked up at him, her back to him.

"It would seem miko, that you have no choice in the matter, tell me, has my father legally adopted you?"

"What, no?" She backed away, yet he held the door open, she gave up in defeat, she was going.

"It would not surprise me in the least to learn that you have become my sister"

They walked side by side to the limo "Nope, not your sister" She slid in, he slid in beside her and at that moment, she wished she was his sister, she had never been nervous around him before.

He closed the door and she noticed that Inuyasha and his father where getting into another limo "We are taking two cars to divert some of the media" He told her,

"Oh, ok"

"Nervous miko?"

"What, no, why?"

He looked at her for a moment before looking away "It is nice to know your view of me has not changed"

She tried not to smile, but at that moment she was happy, that's what she wanted, she wanted him to see her and feel that she had not changed! But for him to say it, it meant a lot more and at that moment she really wanted only to be his friend.

"Yeah sure, I mean I grew up with you, your like a brother, even if your not"

He sat crossed armed and eyed her for a few moments as she looked out the window.

"Your only human" He said and she looked at him and she forgot to bit her tongue,

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means I did not expect you to be immune to my fame, wealth and good looks miko, after all you did fawn over my brother for three years"

She turned red "First off It was just a little crush and it was not for three years!" she snapped "Your not god gift to women you know!"snapped.

He looked away "Forgive me I had not noticed that you where now a woman"

She wanted to punch him in his pretty little face, but she didn't, and she would not let him win "Sorry to disappoint"

"It is not a disappointment miko, believe me"

At the moment, she felt slightly sad, without knowing it, he had rejected her. It took all she had not to show it, not to show her own disappointment.

For the rest of the night she ignored him and laughed with his brother and father.

They pretty much did not speak again, and thankfully the next day he was packing to leave. She was with them when they saw him off, and she kept her mouth shut and lucky for her he didn't say anything to warrant her to speak. She was just glad she didn't look like all the other girls who were screaming and crying for him as he flew off.

Kagome was proud of herself, she was not one to bite her tongue, just ask Inuaysha.
