Chapter 2
A man with long silver hair and stunningly beautiful eyes, dressed in a black business suit emerged from the car. He walked gracefully to her and managed "Flat tire?"
Kagura could only stare at him for she had never seen anyone as beautiful as he was. He looked classy and she enjoyed his eyes even more now that he is up close. It's a shade of amber that reminds her of the sun. She likes the sun.
"Um yes…" she hesitated.
"Do you need help?" he offered.
"Um.." she still doesn't know how to approach the situation. It's not every day a man beautiful as him him offer her help. "Well… I really don't want to trouble you. If only my phone had better service I'd be able to call someone for help…"
" I see." He managed then fishing out his phone from his pocket.
He's gorgeous and he's a gentleman; A real prince charming indeed. Kagura laughed at herself thinking about Sara and what would she have done if she were to see this.
"I'm afraid you're not the only one with a bad signal." He frowned.
"Oh." She managed. "Well it's alright you don't have to worry about it."
"Where is your spare tire?" he asked.
Kagura blinked at his question; she was a little surprised that he would insist on helping her after all they didn't know each other and with that outfit he's wearing? Kagura hopped off from her car's roof and showed the helpful man her spare tire.
"Will this do?" she inquired.
He nodded his head in approval then walking back to his own car to retrieve the equipment he would need. He then removed his tuxedo jacket and the red tie that was placed neatly around his neck then folded the sleeves of his white polo. He noticed the woman walking towards him.
"I really appreciate you helping me out," she smiled. "Is there any way I could help you in the process? I mean it's the least thing I can do."
He smiled and shook his head. "No, changing tires are easy. I'll do it in twenty minutes."
Kagura watched the unknown man while working on her car. He was a real gentleman and Kagura was thankful he came otherwise she probably would have missed the seminar she's been waiting to go to for months. She graduated about a year ago, fulfilling her life-long dream to be a teacher. Her mother, Kaguya was an elementary school teacher and Kagura had always admired her mother's job and the way her mother loved kids. Kaguya's job influenced her parenting towards Kagura and Kagura admired this; Kagura love kids as well and she hopes that one day she will have her own.
"I really appreciate you helping me out," she thanked him once more.
He averted his eyes to her. "It's no problem. But it seems that your spare tire is no good either."
"That can't be good." Kagura pondered out loud.
"I can give you a ride." He offered
Kagura raised her brows. He may be good looking and a gentleman but how can she trust him? She don't even know his name for all she knows he could a murderer or a rapist; but with his good looks who could resist? But then I again she doubts someone with that kind of clothing and car would be someone who stalks on girls with flat tires and rape them.
"But I don't even know you,"
"Sesshomaru." He said. "Look it's up to you if you want to trust me, I'm merely offering you help."
"Well thanks anyway," Kagura looked away.
"Are you sure? You're lucky I was passing this way…"
Before she could open her mouth for a retort he added. "No one usually goes this way."
She halted noticing the truth that lies beneath his words. He was the only one that went this way other than her all this time they were in the area.
"It might take hours, and besides your spare tire is no good and reception is no help either. Your best bet is to come with me." He explained.
Kagura sighed realizing he was right. " Well I guess I don't have a choice." She then opened her trunk and hauled her bag. He raised a thin brow towards her.
"You wouldn't happen to be going to a seminar?" he questioned.
"How did you?" she questioned. How the hell does he know about her seminar?
He chuckled. "My partner mentioned to me a seminar at Maia Hotel. I work at Maia Hotel."
"Don't tell me you own the hotel." She said while averting her eyes towards his car which is a black Mercedes.
"No I'm a contractor. The hotel is planning on expanding their business and I'm going there for an important meeting." He explained.
She managed an "oh" before settling into his car. The ride to the hotel was easy and quiet. They somehow managed to get to know each other more. She learned that he's been in the business for three years and that he inherited his company from his father who also inherited it from his father. He also learned a few things about her like the fact that she has a sister who is an aspiring fashion designer and Kagura's love of country side after her commenting on how beautiful the country was as they were driving through it. They arrived at the hotel an hour later. He helped her with her luggage and followed her to the main desk to check in.
"Room for two?" a woman in her mid 30s asked them noticing that he was carrying her luggage.
Kagura blushed at the thought that people actually would think they are together. "No, I have a reservation."
"Name?" she smiled.
"Kaze, Kagura"
"Like the dance?" Sesshoumaru spoke from behind her.
"Yes."
"Do you like to dance?"
"No. I'm a teacher.
"Teachers can dance." He smirked.
"Not this one." She chuckled.
The man is making conversation and has been flirting with her. "Hmm…interesting. I wonder what Sara would say?"
"I have your name right here," the woman managed. "Reservation for one?"Kagura nodded and then the woman gave her the keys and all other information. She then waited for Sesshomaru to check in since she didn't want to be rude to him because he helped her and waited for her.
"It's funny how your room is literally down the hall from mines." She laughed while pressing the elevator's button for their designated floor.
"I know," he supplied all the while still carrying her luggage.
"Really though, thanks for the help." She smiled up to him. "Judging from the chains of events it would seem that you were meant to save my ass today"
"One can say that." He watched her open her door. The woman before him was indeed beautiful and there was just something about her that he likes. Maybe it was her face that he finds very attractive or maybe it was her eyes that draw him in. Those unique liquid red eyes he admired the first time he had seen them just a few hours ago.
"Well thank you again, but I think I can handle it from here."
"Good night," he said then turning away.
Kagura hesitated for a brief moment until she summoned up a small courage to call back his name. "Sesshomaru! Wait!"
Sesshoumaru turned around. "What is it?"
"I just I feel rude just leaving it at that." Her eyes met his.
"It's alright. Don't worry about it."
"No!" she snapped. "I mean let me atleast buy you food. I actually wouldn't mind eating, I'm famished and I would hate to eat alone…"
He smiled at her offer. "Fine you owe me anyways,"
She smiled and landed a playful fist on his arm. "Hey now! Alright, let me wash up and I'll let you go to do the same, I'll meet you downstairs in about an hour?"
He nodded in agreement and with that both parted ways into their own room .
Kagura shut the door behind her and the feeling sunk in. "Did I just ask the guy for dinner?" never before had she asked a man out before she just didn't have the confidence Sara had but who knew she had it in her to do it. Well maybe it doesn't really count, after all she only asked him to go because she wanted to be nice in return from his own kindness towards her. If it wasn't for him she probably would've been stuck still.
"It's not a date." She laughed while she fished for her phone dialing Sara's number.
"Hello? Kagura? I've been so worried about you! Are you okay?"
Kagura laughed at her sister's voice. "Calm down Sara I'm okay. My phone didn't have service this whole time and only now I got service."
Sara scoffed. "That's why I hate the country. It repels my technology."
"I've had such a long day." Kagura sighed while stretching her legs.
"I bet with all that driving."
"I wasn't exactly driving. I had a flat tire along the way. Could you please tell dad to send someone to get it? I'll give you the exact location…"
"Oh my gods! How did you arrive at the hotel?" Sara cut her off.
"Calm down Sara, I was getting there." Kagura chuckled. "I met this guy…"
"A guy! Oh! Is he handsome?" Kagura could feel Sara's eyes gleam on the other line.
"He's gorgeous! And he's also a gentleman, and he's funny."
"Wow Kagu, I've never heard you describe a man like that before." Sara smirked.
"And get this," Kagura shifted her legs underneath her all the while getting excited to tell her sister what just happened.
"You got his number?"
"No,"
"You kissed him?" Sara giggled.
"Oh dear no!" Kagura interjected. "But he's the kissable type."
Sara squealed in excitement. "Hmm he's in your room right now taking a shower!"
"Sara! No way." Kagura laughed.
"What then? Tell me!"
"I asked him out."
There was a moment of pause on the other line and was interrupted by Sara's sudden burst of squealing of 'Oh my gods' and some more squealing. Kagura laughed she knew she would get this kind of response from her sister. "It's not like that Sara calm down."
Sara stopped squealing confused at her sister's remark. "What do you mean?"
"I only did it to be nice. It' s not a date or anything,"
Sara giggled. "Whatever, you asked him to dinner that's what I'm surprised about Ms. Old fashioned."
Kagura heard the amusement dripping Sara's tone. " Ha ha, anyways I have to get ready. I'm meeting him in an hour!"
Sara giggled. "Okay! Call me later! Love you! Bye!"
