It wouldn't hurt, would it? What's the worst that could happen? Him turning to me and being disgusted and walk away? Well. That would pretty suck too. Without knowing it before I did, I was already leaning slightly forward towards his cheek. I mean, it's not like I'm kissing him on the lips. It's just a common friendly gesture, right? Though, I don't really think that I wanted it as a friendly gesture. Did I?

"Kagome!" I heard Souta yell from the entrance of the doorway. Making myself jump, I took my attention off of Sesshomaru's cheek and onto my brother. "There's a carnival tomorrow night! Can we please go?! Oh please, oh please, oh please!?" At this time he was at my feet already, tugging on my sweats.

"Hunny, I'm not sure if your sister will be up to it." A voice came from the doorway entrance again. It was my mothers.

"No, I think I'll be fine mother. Plus, I think that's what I just may need." I paused and looked at Sesshomaru, who was, not surprisingly, looking forward. I wonder what he always thinks about when he's like this. "Would you like to go too, Sesshomaru? I'm sure Rin would love it if you did."

"That would be so great!" Rin yelled, running up to her Lord.

"You don't even know what a Carnival is, Rin." Souta had said looking at her.

"Well, it sounds fun." She answered back smiling.

Sesshomaru looked down at the two kids with big smiles on their faces. "Even if I said no, I'll somehow still end up going with you, won't I?"

"That sounds about right." Rin giggled.

He signed.


"Are we all ready?" The day went by fast and it was now time to go to the Carnival and show Rin and Sesshomaru a good time.

"Yes!" Rin and Souta both yelled.

"Be sure to stay by Sesshomaru and I, ok Rin? I know it doesn't seem as scary as the Feudal Era, but there's still some bad people out there that likes to steal little children, Okay?"

"Alright!"

We headed out in the early midday in hopes we'll be back before ten. Sesshomaru didn't seem to thrilled about it. Though, when did he ever look thrilled about anything? I let the two children walk ahead of me so I could talk to Sesshomaru.

"How are your wounds? Have they healed yet?" I asked Sesshomaru, looking at the ground, still embarrassed on my thoughts yesterday.

"They have healed. Only the day before last while you were still in that building." His voice seemed a bit low toned. But I didn't give it much thought.

"That's good to hear." I smiled, keeping my gaze away from him.

We walked in silence for a few miles, only hearing the children's laughter in front of us. It was another silence between us that I loved. I normally would have felt awkward if it were to be Hojo or another boy from school. Not so much Inuyasha anymore. Usually when it's silent between me and him, its because we got into a fight or I was upset about something. But this, the silent with Sesshomaru, was different but I'm not sure how. It's like saying; I'm here with you and only you. But in a silent sort of way. Or, I could just be imagining things.

It took an hour and a half to reach the entrance of the Carnival. I saw Sesshomaru flinch his head as if something had hit him. Then I realized that the sounds probably hurt his ears. "Sesshomaru, is it too loud?"

"I'll be fine." He said as he continued to walk. We got in line to get our tickets. People had already started to stare at Sesshomaru. I wasn't sure if it was because of his natural beauty, his height, or his long silvery hair. I'm just glad that we had put makeup on him before we left. Or else he would have even gotten more stares. He didn't seem to mind though. Or just didn't seem to notice.

When we finally got into the carnival, Sesshomaru bent down a bit to whisper in my ear, "I suppose it's nice not hearing a human scream once they see a demon."

I smiled, "Well, if they knew you were a demon, then I'm sure you'll be hearing everyone scream." He was close to me, I'm not sure if he noticed it or not. I could feel his hot breath, again, on my own skin.

"Well, I'm glad humans now don't recognize demons." He straighten himself out, away from me, and began to walk casually.

"Kagome! I want to go on that!" Souta yelled pointing to a ride that straps you in and flips you multiple times.

"Go ahead Souta." I beckoned him on.

"Is it safe?" Rin asked looking terrified.

"Of course it is!" Souta grabbed her hand and ran in line.

"We'll be right here!" I yelled making sure they had heard me. Souta waved and rolled his eyes.

"Unless you wanted to go on?" I looked over at Sesshomaru. He looked at me and shook his head no. I don't think he's really enjoying himself. "Awe, why not? Surely you're not scared."

"Do you really think it's a wise idea to put a Demon Lord such as myself, in a metal container that flips you around?"

I thought about it. I guess he's right. If something were to happen, such as him getting annoyed or aggravated, then people would defiantly know a demon is here. And that's not good in my time. The military and special government people would be stalking us and doing, or trying, tests on him, then World War three will happen. Humans against Sesshomaru. Not such a pretty picture for either side.

"I suppose you're right."

"I'm hungry, Kagome." We had spent at least three hours here already, and neither kid was tired. They've been on almost every ride twice, I even jumped in on a few rides, and they still didn't want to leave.

"Alright Souta. What do you want?" We ended up getting three hamburgers, a large fry and drink, two caramel apples, cotton candy, three ice cream cones and two more corndogs. Dang. Kids eat a lot.

"I want one!" Rin had yelled pointing at a huge dog that oddly looked similar to Sesshomaru when he was in his true form.

"I'll get it for you. I'm good at aiming." I said paying for three balls. That's until I realized my right hand was in a cast. I've never thrown with my left hand, can't hurt to try. First ball I missed, horribly. It had almost hit the cans to the side of me. Second ball wasn't much of a change. The third ball. Well, lets just say the gamekeeper has great reflexes. "I'm sorry." I whispered blushing, to the gamekeeper.

"Its fine. I'll be sure to wear a helmet the next time you come." He smiled, showing his bright white teeth.

"Would you like giving it a try, Sesshomaru? I'm sure you can do much better than me." I handed out another five before Sesshomaru had time to answer. The gamekeeper handed him three green balls and stepped out of the way, far out of the way this time.

Sesshomaru signed before he picked up a green ball and effortlessly through it at the stacked cups on the stand. I wasn't surprised to see the three cups fall onto the ground.

"You won! What prize would you like?" The game keep came out of hiding and showed Sesshomaru the prizes.

"The dog."

"Well well, here you go." He handed Sesshomaru the huge white dog, "Have a good day now."

Sesshomaru took the stuffed dog from the gamekeeper and handed it to Rin. How she would carry it, I do not know. It was bigger than she was.

Rin mentioned for him to bend down. He did as she whispered something into his ear, standing on her toes. He looked shocked for a moment before he straightened himself out. Souta grabbed her hand and ran off to another ride before Sesshomaru could abject to any of it.

He looked over at me, then to the floor before I could hold his gaze. "Uh. Rin doesn't want it." He said holding out the stuffed dog to me, "You can have it."

I couldn't tell if he was blushing or not. His hair just had to be in the way. I smiled then grabbed the dog out of his hands. "Thank you, Sesshomaru."

"Hn." He mumbled, then turned around to follow the two children, his hair swaying as he gently walked away. Even from his back side, he was beautiful and it took me this long to realize it.


-Haha, so she didn't kiss his cheek x]. STUPID SOUTA! But awe, she did get a stuffed doggy from Sesshomaru :3

-I have no idea what the next chapter will be xD. I just make these up as I go. But it'll come sooner or later. Promise.
