Chapter 5

Yesterday's events had left me thinking about Sesshomaru quite a bit. I was trying to figure out what our relationship was. At first I was just shocked someone as handsome and powerful as him would even give me the time of day, but he did more than that. He looked out for me and took care of me when I needed it. I knew he was my friend but was there anything more to it? My gut told me there was but I really couldn't figure it out and form it into coherent rational thoughts.

I was walking out of my last class of the day with Inuyasha towards our lunch spot. I had become a sort of ritual of ours to sit in the same positions on either sides of the table. On one side was Kikyo, Inuyasha, Kouga, Bankotsu and Sesshomaru and then on the other was myself across from Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Although Bankotsu was always a wild card as to whether or not he showed up, yet I felt like every group of friends always had that one person.

It was Friday and we were all wanting to go out tonight but were just discussing where.

"Come on! I don't want to go to some stupid club, let's go to the bar near my place!" Inuyasha complained.

"I told you already Inuyasha, we want to dance tonight and you can't there." Sango explained frustrated.

"That's the whole point! I hate dancing!" He countered.

"You're not going to win this battle Inuyasha. The girls are pretty adamant on dancing tonight and I myself wouldn't mind either." Miroku spoke up.

"I heard the club near the movie theatre is really good! I think its name was the district? Anyways it's only really people from our university that goes and the music is good!" I was really trying to push for this club. I saw it often but never actually went in so I really wanted to go.

"Then it's settled! We're going to the district!" Sango declared, and we eventually got everyone on board with us too. Sango and I were going to get ready together at her place. Miroku was going to pick us up in his car with Shippo and Kouga. Inuyasha was going to take Kikyo and Bankotsu. Sesshomaru had decided to go on his own because he didn't want to be driven or let anyone in his car.

I had decided on a white dress with long lace sleeves with heels and Sango was wearing a tight dark red dress with a high neckline. After watching many tutorials I had perfected my makeup and went with a nice smokey eye look that accentuated my blue eyes without looking over the top. Sango had dark eyeliner and eyeshadow with her hair pulled up into a high ponytail, and I would have to say that we both looked pretty hot! Our curves being displayed nicely by our dresses without looking too slutty. My hair flowed loosely against me in soft curls. We had been drinking a little bit together before Miroku showed up and as a result we're slightly tipsy when they arrived.

"I am honoured to be driving such beautiful ladies tonight!" Miroku exclaimed when he saw us from his car.

"Hey beautiful, why don't you sit with me for the trip there. You look like an angel sent just for me!" Kouga flirted. Shippo was just embarrassed by the boys but confirmed their opinions in a more toned down way. I had a feeling Kouga was going to be like this all night. When we arrived we quickly found the others and bought a round of shots to start the night off. I started dancing with Sango on the dancefloor but was quickly interrupted by Kouga asking to dance with me. It was harmless and fun at first but then the more drinks he had the more touchy he got with me and kept trying to hold onto me pulling me against his body. Deciding I had had enough. I looked around for my friends to see if there was anyone nearby to save me. I immediately saw Sango and Miroku hooking up and couldn't wait to tease her about it later. Next I saw Sesshomaru by the bar sipping on a drink trying to ignore some girls that were talking to him. Once I established eye contact I sent him a silent plead to come and step in. I think I saw him smirk at me struggling with Kouga and stalked his way to me through the crowd like I was prey he was ready to catch. The look in his eyes was intense and the club around me started to disappear leaving only him and I there in the room.

He must have gotten rid of Kouga somehow but I paid no notice to it. I was capture by his eyes as we started to dance together. It was enchanting. His tall godlike body moved against mine making me ache for more contact with him but nothing was enough. He spun me around so my back was against his chest and I pulled my hand through my hair as he let out a low growl next to my neck. I had no idea if it was the alcohol or just the effect of being near Sesshomaru but I was definitely out of my head.

A blonde fox youkai decided she wanted a turn with Sesshomaru and rudely cut her way in between us. Something about watching them dance together made me very uncomfortable and I almost wanted to say it was jealousy. But that was ridiculous, I didn't like Sesshomaru! It would be a waste of my time anyways, he would never return the feelings. Yet dancing with him still had me worked up, and my body missed feeling his. I wanted to be against him again but walked outside instead for some fresh air to clear my thoughts.

Once outside I realised I just wanted to be home and not go back inside and watch girls throw themselves at Sesshomaru. Although he didn't seem to show interest in any of them I still would rather not see the whole thing happening.

A silver bmw pulled up next to me while I was walking down the street and the window rolled down.

"Get it." It was Sesshomaru.

"You've been drinking. Why are you driving?" I questioned.

"Silly miko, I am a demon, I metabolise the alcohol much faster than you would. It is already gone from my system. Now get in the car."

"Fine." I opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. I couldn't control how much more comfortable I felt with him with me. He drove me to my house and opened the door for me. Once in my apartment, he made sure I got into my bed with my pajamas on. I must have given him the impression that I was too intoxicated to take care of myself tonight, but I didn't mind, I was just happy to have the company.

Once satisfied that I was in my bed he began to turn to leave but something made me reach out and grab his hand. I didn't know what took over me but I just didn't want to be alone.

"Please… please stay with me tonight." I knew what it must have sounded like I meant but it was not my intention. I just felt so safe with him there with me and with the amount of alcohol in my system I didn't trust my capabilities to keep myself safe should anything happen. I knew he could read my aura and see that I did not have any bad intentions or hidden agenda but see that I was just lonely. He signalled for me to scoot over and sat in my bed next to me. I immediately curled up into him and fell asleep happily. Whatever my relationship was with Sesshomaru, I was very grateful to have it.
