What the text message said
*Sound Effects*
What happened on chapter 5:
As she was singing Sesshomaru was enchanted by her voice, he would give her a few glances. His glances made her uncomfortable, and every time he looked her cheeks would turn beet red. Her lost her concentration and croaked the last lines of the song.
"*Ehem* Hey look at the time, I better get going to work" Kagura blurted.
"Well then, let me show you out" Sesshomaru stood up and showed Kagura to the door.
"Thank you for inviting me" Kagura uttered. "It was a pleasure visiting you"
"It was a pleasure for me having you as my guest"
"W-well then, thanks again" Kagura turned around and headed for her apartment.
"Uhm, Kagura?"
"Yes Sesshomaru?"
"I that know this might sound awkward but, are you free again this Saturday night?"
"Yeah, why?"
"May I have the honor of having you watch a benefit concert happening on that night?" He asked.
"But, I don't have a ticket, and the ticket isn't very cheap and –"
"I'll take care of that" He assured. "I want you to listen to the song you inspired me to write"
Kagura started blushing. "But, I have nothing to wear"
"Please?"
Kagura stared at his golden eyes and couldn't refuse. "Fine, I'll be there"
"That's good to know" Sesshomaru waved at Kagura and closed the door.
Kagura entered her apartment, went into her room and got ready for her work. She grabbed her frilly uniform and stared at herself in the mirror. "Hmph, a girl like you inspiring men...? Don't make me laugh" She grabbed her coat and readily went to work.
Chapter 6: The Way You Look Tonight
Kagura was having a hard time sleeping. It seems she was having a nightmare for she was twisting and turning on her bed.
"*Snores* Mnn…No Chef Mando, you can't mix in the bitter gourd in my cake batter. *Yawns* *Snores*"
Suddenly someone continuously rang her annoying doorbell. *Kriiiinnnggg* *Kriiinnng* "Is there anyone home?" A voice croaked.
Kagura jolted from her sleep and fell off the bed. She bumped her head on the floor hard.
"C-coming" She hollered. (Arghh, doesn't Sesshomaru remember that my shift starts in the afternoon?) She rubbed her head to ease the pain and looked at her clock. "WHAT? IT'S JUST FUCKIN SIX IN THE MORNING!" She sneered silently.
*Krriiinnngg* *Krriinnggg* *Krrriiinnngg*
Kagura stood up and marched angrily up to the door.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU LAST TIME –" But when she opened the door she saw no one there. "…Sesshomaru?" (Hmmm I'm pretty sure I heard the doorbell rang. I should change it, it's pretty crappy after all) She then closed the door
*Kriiiiiinnnnggg* *Krriiinnngg* "Ms. Brooks, are you home?" The voice asked.
Kagura opened the door and got the same result. She then slammed the door behind her and grumbled. "This isn't funny"
*Kriinnngg* "Ms. Brooks ; its import-"
Kagura was losing her patience; she opened the door and accidentally trampled on Jaken.
"SESSHOMARU, STOP IT" She demanded. She then felt something squirming under her foot. She looked down and saw Jaken gasping for air, seeing this she quickly got off of him. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you" She helped him up and dusted
his little frame.
Jaken was short, had big yellow eyes, and had a hint of green on his skin. (Is this guy sick or what?) Kagura thought.
"No Matter Ms. Kagura Brooks"
"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second, you know me; but, I do not know you"
"Oh, where are my manners. *Clears throat* Good morning Ms. Brooks, my name is Jaken. I am Mr. King's personal butler and I am here to give you something"
"Well, good morning to you too Jaken…Do you have a last name?"
"No" Jaken answered.
(If this is Sesshomaru's butler then why didn't I see him in his apartment yesterday?)
"…Ms. Brooks?"
Kagura snapped out of her days. "Oh I'm sorry, what was the question again?"
Jaken found Kagura's reaction ridiculous and tried to hold in his laughter.
"So anyway, why are you here?" Kagura asked.
"I'm here to deliver your ticket for the benefit concert happening tomorrow" He dug his hand in his jacket's pocket and revealed the ticket.
Kagura took her ticket from his hand and observed it. "Where will it be held again?" She asked.
"It will be held in the Natalie Soleil Grande Theatre on nine o'clock sharp" He answered.
"WHAT?" Kagura roared. "That's three hours away, how will I get there in time? And if I did I'll be taking a cab, and cabs are very expensive these days and –"
"Mr. King also added that your transportation has been taken care of"
"Really?"
"Yes, I'll be picking you up at six o' clock sharp" He answered.
"But what about Sesshomaru; how will he get there?"
"He also said not to worry about him. He can take care of himself"
"Oooh, what a man" She sarcastically uttered to herself.
Jaken looked at his pocket watch and sighed. "Well, that's all there is" He then doffed his hat at Kagura. "It is nice to meet you Ms. Brooks. I will be here on Saturday at six o' clock sharp. Good day" He then turned to his side and walked to the elevator.
*Ding* The elevator door opened before him, he took another glance at Kagura and smiled. (She seems different from all the girls Mr. King has met)
Kagura closed the door and plopped down her couch. "Great, now the hard part is to find a formal dress. I thought he would take care of that too" She joked.
That afternoon Kagura's mind was not on her work. She kept wondering what to wear on Saturday because she will be rubbing elbows with the upper crust.
"Excuse me waitress?" A customer hollered.
But Kagura stood blankly in the middle of the aisle and didn't hear a thing.
"Excuse me…" The customer uttered.
And yet Kagura still didn't hear anything.
"EXCUSE ME"
"Oh I'm sorry Mademoiselle, what will you be having?" Kagura asked.
"I'll be having the Crab cakes and your Caramel tea" The customer answered.
"Will there be anything else?"
"No, that'll be all" She handed over the menu to Kagura and smiled. "Hey, I know there are times it's nice to stop and think about personal matters. But don't do it while you are working" She advised.
"Thank you Mademoiselle" Kagura then headed to the kitchen and gave the chef her order.
"Kagura?" Kagome blurted.
"What is it Kagome?"
"Are you alright? You're kinda off beat today" She pointed out.
"I know…At least I'm not as offbeat as Miroku over there"
Miroku was seen apologizing to the man he accidentally closed the door to.
"I can't believe that Sango will be arriving in just a few more weeks. I guess that's the reason why Miroku is acting this way, right Kagura?"
But Kagura didn't answer her.
"Kagura?"
"Huh, oh yeah, yeah…." Kagura blurted.
Kagome looked at her friend's face and smiled. "Is something bothering you Kagura?"
"Who me? Oh, nothing is bothering me; I'm just being my usual self" She lied.
"Liar" Kagome stood closer to her. "Kagura, I've known you since…EVER so I know you are lying" She pointed out. "So, tell me what's bothering you"
"Nothing is bothering me" Kagura quickly evaded Kagome and tended to her customer's order. "Here you go Mademoiselle, enjoy your meal"
"Kagura" Kagome insisted.
Kagura walked passed Kagome and stood on her post.
"Come on tell me Kagura, maybe I could help you" Kagome mentioned.
"FINE" Kagura got closer to Kagome and whispered in her ear. "Sesshomaru invited me in this benefit concert tomorrow evening. It is a formal gathering and I have nothing to wear"
Kagome looked at her with amazement. "I can't believe this. This'll be the first time I'll be seeing you wearing a dress"
"So are you going to help me or not?" Kagura asked.
"OF COURSE I'LL HELP YOU! I'll help you find a dress, I'll do you make up, your hair, oh Kagura this is exciting"
"Hey both of you; get back to work" The chef snarled.
"Sorry chef" Kagura said. "So, when are you going to help me?" She asked.
"Tomorrow morning, oh Kagura I'm going to make you shine" Kagome swore.
The next day in the Celeste Soleil Grande Theatre, Sesshomaru was practicing hard for tonight's performance. He didn't notice Mr. Lewis watching him from the audience seats.
"Bravo Sesshomaru, bravo. You have outdone yourself this time" Andre cheered.
Sesshomaru looked at him and stood up. "Oh sorry Mr. Lewis, I didn't see you there" He closed the piano's fall, jumped down from the stage and walked towards Andre.
"Nah, it's not a big deal don't worry about it. And didn't I tell you that you could call me Andre?"
"I'm sorry…Andre"
"That's my boy! Sesshomaru, I can't thank you enough for performing in my theatre tonight" Andre confessed.
"There is no need to thank me Andre, I'm just happy that I'll be part of this concert. The children in Saint Agnes's hospital will surely appreciate the proceeds we will be giving them"
"I know! And since most of my investors know that you'll be playing we sold the whole theatre" He then placed his hands on Sesshomaru's shoulder and vigorously patted them. "We have a full house my boy!" He gleamed.
(A full house? I was hoping it to be fewer so I could see her…) Sesshomaru thought.
Andre looked at Sesshomaru's blank face and chuckled. "Why are you spacing out? You know, Sara will be here watching you too" He pointed out. "By the way, Sara and I will be sitting in box one" Andre pointed at the biggest box to the right. "We'll be
anxiously waiting for you in the lobby when the show is over"
"Andre?"
"Yes Sesshomaru?"
"The ticket you gave me…? Where is it located?" He asked.
"Hmmm, let me see?" Andre thought long and hard; but, couldn't remember. "I'm sorry my boy but it seems my memory has failed me. Who did you invite? I hope it's not that slacker brother of yours. Do you remember the first time you brought him to one
of your recitals?"
"Of course I do…Who could forget"
"Bah, all he'll do is get drunk and prove his chances with the women around the theatre" Andre grumbled.
"Don't worry; I didn't invite him this time" Sesshomaru pointed out.
"Then who did you invite?" Andre asked.
"….A friend of mine" Sesshomaru answered. "She is actually the reason why I created one of my new compositions"
"Really? Do you think I can meet this friend of yours?" He asked.
"Of course"
"Well then, I'll leave you. I'm sure you need to practice more on that composition of yours. Besides, I don't want to spoil myself, carry on"
"Thank you Andre, it's a pleasure playing in your wife's theatre" Sesshomaru gestured.
"No problem. Well then, carry on" Andre smiled at Sesshomaru and left the building.
Sesshomaru jumped back on the stage and opened the piano's fall. He sat on the chair and placed his fingers on the keys. "I hope to see you tonight…Kagura"
On that same morning Kagome and Kagura went around town to find a formal dress for Kagura to wear in tonight's benefit concert.
"C'mon Kagura let's go" Kagome continuously tugged Kagura's left arm.
"Y-you know what, I've changed my mind? I'll just tell Sesshomaru that I got sick and –"
"Oh hell no! I promised to make you shine tonight and by God I will" Kagome swore.
"But…I don't want to wear a dress" Kagura confessed.
"What, you can't be serious? Okay tell me the last time you wore a dress?" Kagome asked.
"….In our high school prom" Kagura silently answered.
"That long? Sheesh, we'd better get you in one fast"
"But I –"
Kagome pulled her harder and brought her to the first boutique that caught her eye.
"Let's try this one, The Damsel's Frock" Kagome pulled Kagura into the store and held her close.
"Hello ladies; my name is Sonia. How may I help you?" The clerk asked.
"Hello Sonia, my name is Kagome and my friend here is Kagura. I'm to help her find a formal dress for her to wear tonight" Kagome asked.
"Oh, may I know the occasion? Is it a date? A party?"
"She's invited to watch the benefit concert tonight in the Celeste Soleil Grande Theatre. She has to wear something that will make her blend in with the people" Kagome answered.
"Oh I see, well then" Sonia looked at Kagura from head to toe and clapped her hands. "Let's get started"
Sonia and her team grabbed different kinds of dressed in the store's rack. They knew exactly the type of people Kagura will be spending time with and made sure that she'll fit in with the people well.
"Dress number one" Sonia announced.
Her team opened the curtains and revealed Kagura in a long strapless evening gown with a plunging V neck line. It had diamonds studded on its neckline.
"And for the finishing touches" Sonia added long black gloves on Kagura's arms. "There we go, this dress is by Scala"
"Wow! Kagura it looks amazing on you" Kagome complimented.
"Yeah, amazingly itchy" She complained. "Get this thing off me please" She begged.
"Okay. Girls try on the next one" Sonia ordered.
Her team then stripped Kagura down and made her wear different kinds of dresses. One shouldered ones, asymmetrical ones, silk ones, glittered ones, feathered ones, all the fashionable dresses you could think off she tried on. But nothing seemed to fit
her taste.
"Oh well, thanks anyway Sonia" Kagome grabbed Kagura and went to the next fashion boutique.
"Kagome, could we please stop, the first store we tried had nothing. And have you seen the prices? It literally can burn a hole in your pocket"
"No, I won't stop until I have found a perfect dress for you to wear" Kagome swore. "So quit being a baby and com on"
Kagome forced her to try all the boutiques. But it had the same result, they had one more store to check out and if that didn't work Kagome promised that she'll let Kagura fake a sickness and let her off the hook.
"Well here goes nothing" Kagome opened the door to the store and was greeted by the clerk.
"Good afternoon ladies and welcome to Simplicity. My name is Nicole, how may I help you?"
"Hello Nicole, will you help me find my friend a simple dress for her to wear tonight. We tried most of the boutiques here and couldn't find anything" Kagome explained.
"Don't worry" Nicole looked at Kagura and smiled. "I think I have just the thing for your friend" She then grabbed Kagura's hand and walked her to the dressing room.
"Good luck" Kagome whispered.
A few minutes later Nicole stepped out with a big smile on her face. "I think you'll agree with me with this one" She said to Kagome.
"Come on Kagura com out" Kagome requested.
Kagura walked out and smiled. "Well, what do you think?"
Kagome looked at Nicole and gleamed. "Thank God we found you. I can't believe you found this dress for her" She ran to Nicole and gave her a big hug. "THANK YOU"
"My pleasure. Well…. Ms. Kagura?"
"…I'll take it" She shyly said.
"Wait, what about the price?" Kagome asked.
"Don't worry, you're pretty lucky today because we're having a sale today. So it'll be around $100.00" Nicole answered.
"Hear that Kagura? We have enough money to buy you shoes" Kagome gleamed.
After they bought the dress shoes was next in the list. It wasn't hard enough to find Kagura shoes because of her shoe size. And after they bought everything they needed, they rode back to Kagura's apartment. When Kagura entered her apartment
she quickly took a bath. And after her bath it now was the time for Kagome to work her magic on Kagura.
"Don't squint Kagura, you might ruin the mascara" Kagome ordered.
"I'm sorry, it just hurts so much" Kagura confessed.
"Hold still, we only have a few hours left until that Jaken guy will pick you up" Kagura warned. "Now, HOLD STILL"
When Kagome finished her work she helped Kagura in her dress and placed her in front of the mirror.
"Oh my God…Kagura you look beautiful" Kagome complimented.
"T-thank you" Kagura looked at herself and blushed. "I've never seen myself like this before"
"I haven't either" Kagome then quickly scavenged in her purse and took out her camera. "Now smile *click* There, I'll have these developed and show them to Miroku and Sango one day"
"KAGOME –"
*Kriing* *Kriing*
"I'll get it. That must be that Jaken guy" Kagome rushed to the door and answered Jaken. "Hello, you must be Jaken"
"Good Evening Ms?"
"Kagome, Kagome Higurashi" She answered.
"Ah, good evening Ms. Higurashi, is Ms. Brooks ready?"
"Yes she is. Kagura, your ride is here" Kagome hollered.
Kagura grabbed her purse and walked to the door. "Good evening Jaken"
Jaken looked at Kagura and blushed. He quickly hid the lower half of his face with his hat. "*clears throat* Good evening Ms. Brooks, shall we go?"
"WAIT NOT YET" Kagome grabbed her camera and took a picture of Jaken and Kagura. "*Click* For old times sake. I feel like a mother"
"Kagome" Kagura groaned.
"Oh don't worry, I'll watch over your place tonight. Have fun"
Jaken showed Kagura to the elevator and Kagura followed her to the car.
"Do you have your ticket Ms. Brooks?"
Kagura opened her purse and found her ticket. "Yes, thanks for reminding me Jaken"
Jaken looked at her smile and was amazed at her beauty. (She looks exquisite)
When the two got off the elevator some of the people who live in the building would stare at Kagura, especially the men. She felt uncomfortable when they looked at her; she wasn't used to all this attention.
When they got out of the building Jaken opened the door to the limo Sesshomaru lent Kagura.
"Here you go Ms. Brooks"
(A limo? I have never seen it this close) Kagura got in the limo and smiled at Jaken. "Thank you"
Jaken doffed his hat and closed the door. He then entered the driver's seat and started the car. "Don't worry Ms. Brooks, we'll be there in time" He assured.
Back in the theatre, the audiences started to flock in. All the people you'll see are people with titles or names in the big screen, in business, in music, and in their family name. And after a few minutes everyone was advised to sit on their respective seats.
When they entered the theatre Sesshomaru would look at the guests one by one from the back stage. He anxiously waited for Kagura but couldn't find her. He looked at Andre's box and found him sitting next to Sara.
"At least they have no problem finding their seats" He uttered to himself.
"Uhm, excuse me Mr. King but the show is about to start. You can't stay there" An employee from the theatre explained.
"Oh…I'm sorry" Sesshomaru walked back to his dressing room and plopped down his couch. "I guess she changed her mind…" *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* Suddenly, his phone went off. He took it from his pocket and opened the message, it read:
Hey, I saw you at the side of the curtain. Don't feel nervous, I know you'll do great…Good Luck.
P.S Thanks for the ticket. I'm sure I'll have fun watching you.
~Kagura :-)
Sesshomaru looked at the message and smiled. "At least she came…"
The lights in the theatre dimmed. A spotlight lit up and shined on Mr. Andre Lewis.
"My dear friends, family, distinguished guests, and everyone whom I'll love to meet, good evening. Welcome to Celeste Soleil Grande Theatre, I had this theatre created four years ago in honor of my wife's death anniversary. And today we will celebrate
my wife's second love…Music. Our ears will be enchanted by some of the world's greatest musicians and singers. And the proceeds of what we have raised tonight shall be given to Saint Agnes's Children's Hospital. I thank you for your generosity now
please, enjoy the show"
Everyone clapped after Andre's speech. When the crowd's cheering ceased the show started.
After an hour and a half Sesshomaru heard someone knocking on his dressing room door. "*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* Mr. King you're on in five"
Sesshomaru stood up from his couch and walked to the back stage, he tried to peek from the curtains; but, failed to see Kagura. And when the cellist before him has finished her piece, he took in a deep breath and meditated.
"Our last performance will be from one of my good friends. I knew him since he was a teenager and he is my daughter's fiancée. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…Sesshomaru King"
Sesshomaru walked to the piano with his head held high, he stood in front of the audience and bowed down. He then opened the piano's fall and sat down.
"The first piece he is going to play is one of my favorites; it is called The Free Wind" Andre pointed out to the audience.
Sesshomaru placed his hands on the keys and started playing. His passion for plating was visible to the human eye. Every note he played soared in everyone's ears. It felt so relaxing and it was vibrant to the ear's palette. When Sesshomaru finished his
piece, everyone clapped for him. He looked at Andre's box and found Sara focused on her looks.
(Sara…) He thought.
"The next piece he will play for us is one of his new ones. I haven't even heard it because I didn't want to spoil myself" Andre chuckled. "Sesshomaru, what is the title of your new piece?"
Sesshomaru took in a deep breath and looked at the audience. "It's called….Red Eyed Beauty" He tried to look for Kagura but couldn't find her.
(Could it be…?) Kagura quickly took out her small mirror from her purse and looked at her eyes. (….I'm still not used to it)
Sesshomaru couldn't keep his audience waiting. He returned his attention to the piano and played his musical piece, he knew she was watching, and so, he played his composition perfectly and beautifully. Its sound was as vibrant as the morning sun,
but it felt as subtle as the leaves drifting in the lake. It burned like a lover's passion and yet it was cool to the mind. It was something no one has ever heard before. And when Sesshomaru finished his piece the audience gave him a standing ovation.
"BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVISIMO, ENCORE" The people shouted.
But Sesshomaru couldn't play another song. Instead, he stood up and bowed down to his audience.
"That's all for now. Please, everyone to the lobby for some refreshments. You can also spend time talking to some of our performers" Andre gestured.
The audience stood up and headed to the lobby.
In a few minutes, the lobby has been jam packed wit the audience. They conversed with each other and grabbed the chance to get to know their favorite musicians.
Sesshomaru was walking swiftly to avoid some of his fans when he accidentally bumped into someone. Naturally, he helped her up.
"I'm sorry Ms. Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm okay, but what kind of greeting was that?" Kagura questioned him.
When Sesshomaru found out who the woman was, he couldn't believe that it was Kagura. She wore a dark purple off shoulder dress that lengthened until below the knee. She wore simple violet heels and a turquoise broach to compliment her dress.
And for the first time, she let her hair down. He was speechless, this was the first time he has seen her in a dress, and to see her ebony locks curve her soft milky face made him skip a beat.
"…W-what?" Kagura uttered.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just…"
"It's just what?"
"You look…Ravishing"
Kagura blushed when she heard him say this. "N-no I'm not" She uttered.
"You don't believe me?"
But when Kagura was about to answer back someone interrupted them.
"Ah, Sesshomaru my boy" Andre hollered. He walked up to the two and smiled at them. "Who would this be?"
"Ah, this is the friend I was telling you about" Sesshomaru answered. "Mr. Lewis this is Kagura Brooks, Kagura my boss Mr. Andre Lewis"
"Call me Andre" Andre grabbed Kagura's hand and kissed the back of her hand. "You can call me Andre Mademoiselle"
Kagura jerked a little bit and gave Mr. Lewis a weird smile.
"Let me guess…You are not used to what I just did?" Andre questioned.
"Uh-huh"
Andre chuckled when he heard Kagura's answer. "Well then I shall leave you two alone" Andre continued to converse with his other guest.
"What did he just do?" Kagura asked.
"That's how people say hello in other countries" Sesshomaru answered.
"Yeah well, I'm not from his country"
Sesshomaru chuckled at Kagura's remark.
"SESSHYKINS, OH SESSHYKINS WHERE ARE YOU?" Sara shrilled.
Kagura and Sesshomaru looked at her as she raced to Sesshomaru.
"Oh Sesshykins I have been looking for you" Sara explained. She hugged Sesshomaru's arm tightly and smiled.
"Sesshykins?"
Sara looked at Kagura and gave her a mean look. "Sesshykins…Who is that?" Sara asked in a bitchy tone.
(THAT? Why I oughta) Kagura trembled in anger and felt like she was about to punch Sara on the face.
"Sara she's a friend of mine, her name is –"
"Never mind that let's just go somewhere, I'm bored" She looked at Kagura and then at Sesshomaru. "The people here bore me"
"Why you –"
Suddenly Sara tripped a waiter carrying glasses of champagne heading their way. The waiter slipped and all of the champagne he was carrying fell on Kagura. He newly bought dress was stained, her make up started running, and her ebony locks felt
sticky.
"Oh you clumsy dear, you'd better go home and clean yourself up" Sara mocked.
Kagura was on the verge of crying; but, she didn't want to appear weak in front of Sara. She helped the waiter up and looked at Sesshomaru. "Thank you Sesshomaru…I had a wonderful time" She sarcastically whispered. She then ran out of the building
and called Jaken through her phone. "Jaken, it's time for me to go home" She cried silently.
"Kagura, wait" Sesshomaru released himself from Sara's grasps and chased after Kagura. The lobby was full of people so he couldn't get to her in time. So when he got out of the building her saw her in his limo heading home. "Damn it" He uttered to
himself.
"Sesshykins, what's wrong?" Sara asked.
"What's wrong? Sara, I couldn't believe what you just did" Sesshomaru barked.
"What I did? That girl was going to steal you away from me"
"Sara she's a friend of mine, I can't believe that you would jump into conclusions that way. How can you do this?"
"….I'm sorry, I just thought that she was going to steal you away from me" She sulked.
Sesshomaru looked at Sara and sighed. (Women, I just can't understand them)
Back in the apartment Kagura went up to her floor alone. She didn't want Jaken to worry about her too much because she felt embarrassed.
*Kriing* *Kriing* She rang her doorbell rang.
"Coming" Kagome hollered. (It's still too early, why is she home all of a sudden?) When Kagome opened the door she saw Kagura disgruntled and smelled like champagne. "W-what happened?"
Kagura couldn't answer and bursts into tears. Kagome quickly hugged her friend and assisted her inside.
A few minutes later, Kagura had her bath and told Kagome everything on what happened that night.
"THAT BITCH" Kagome screamed. "WHY WOULD THAT UPTIGHT GOOD FOR NOTHING WRETCH I'M GONNA –"
"That's enough Kagome, swearing won't help" Kagura pointed out.
"Yeah but still….She destroyed my creation"
"So you're more worried about your make up than me"
"No silly" Kagome sat next to Kagura and gave her a big hug. "I just can't believe that she did that to you for no reason"
"Yeah, but that's what happens when you mingle with that kind of crowd"
"Hold that thought…I gotta pee" Kagome stood up and ran to the bathroom.
"That's good to know…" Kagura dug her hand in a bowl of salty potato chips and gobbled it all up.
*Kriiiing* *Kriiing* Kriinng*
(Now who could that be?) Kagura stood up and answered the door. "Who is it?"
"Man, you should really change your annoying doorbell" Sesshomaru answered with a smile.
"S-Sesshomaru…? What are you doing here?" She shrugged.
"I live here. Or have you forgotten?"
"You know what I mean"
"I know, I know. I just wanted to know how you were"
"You were worried…About me?"
"Of course, what Sara did to you was inappropriate. And I just wanted to tell you that I scolded her"
"Scolded?"
"You know what I mean. And I just wanted to say sorry"
"Sorry for what? It wasn't your fault"
"Still…I feel pretty bad. So I got you this" Sesshomaru revealed a red rose that he was hiding from his back. "I hope that this is good enough for my apology. I wanted to get you something but –"
"No, it's fine. Thank you"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. It's the sweetest thing anyone has given me" Kagura shared. "Well then…Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
Kagura smiled at Sesshomaru and returned to her apartment.
"*Sighs* That was close, for a moment there I thought I was done for"
But before Sesshomaru returned to his apartment he heard Kagura's apartment door open.
"What's the matter Kagura –"
Kagura suddenly kissed Sesshomaru's cheek. Her supple red lips pecked made Sesshomaru crave for her lips some more.
"That's for the wonderful evening you made me experience" Kagura then quickly returned to her apartment and locked the door.
Sesshomaru held his stained cheek and felt Kagura's lipstick mark. (What just happened?)
Kagura walked back to her living room as she happily smelled her rose.
"Ooohhh, you like him" Kagome suddenly interrupted.
"W-what you got it all wrong I just said thank you"
"Thank you by kissing his cheek" Kagome gleamed.
"NO, that's how people from other countries say thank you" Kagura pointed out.
"And since when did you become worldly all of a sudden?"
"Since a while ago, besides…." Kagura looked at her rose and started playing around with it. "He's already taken…"
End of Chapter 6
To Be Continued….
Man, isn't Sara a bitch? I hate her guts! I hope you're ready for Chapter 7 though CIAO ^_^
