False Pretense
Description: He had fallen for her, and her him. But he screwed up, when it came to it he dumbly rejected her to uphold a reputation, but will he cave in when they start spending even more time together because of a band? SessKag,mainly
Recap: Kagome got up from her seat and started for the door. "I was just leaving sir." Kagome bowed slightly in respect, and opened the door. "See you.. Um.. I don't know when, since your grounded." She said, as she walked out the door, and closed it gently behind her.
InuTaisho looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Your right for liking her. She's cute." InuTaisho said as he began to walk back upstairs, but stopped at the first stair.
"Daaad." Sesshoumaru began to complain, and blush ever so slightly.
"Geez, who pissed in your cheerios this morning?"
"You!"
"Oh, shut up."
Chapter 10. Queen's Boulevard, And Introducing Porcelain
Sesshoumaru had stayed up most of the night after Kagome left, he stayed down in the den, on the couch, with the t.v. on but muted. He thought he absolutely needed to finish the song Kagome had seen. He was almost donearound 3 in the morning. He knew he was going to regret staying up all night without any sleep at all.
"I'm so screwed. Its one thing if dad finds out.. But going to school, and probably falling asleep in every class.. That's just a whole other story." He mused, obviously talking to himself. He wanted the song to be a bit long, so he tried to keep on the same subject in general and not trail away from it. While still making in the song longer then his last. Ultimately the song was finished by 4:30 a.m., he had to get up technically by 5:30. He quickly set his cell phone, to wake him up by 5:30, and he laid down on the couch and quickly drifted to sleep. He had forgotten one thing though. His father gets up at 5:00, and usually goes down stairs at 5:30. He might see him, still on the couch, he'd obviously be curious why Sesshoumaru never went to his bedroom. Sesshoumaru never realized this and continued to sleep on the couch. But it wasn't his father who discovered him.
"Nii- Chan, why are you down on the couch?" InuYasha asked quietly, with his face about an inch away from Sesshoumaru's. Sesshoumaru's eyes snapped open, and at the same time his phone went off blasting the chorus of 'Get Stoned' by Hinder. InuYasha let out a screech, and Sesshoumaru sat up in a flash. "Shut your mouth, InuYasha!" He hissed and covered his mouth. And all this happened just as InuTaisho was coming down the stairs.
"What's going on?" Their father asked coming down the stairs in a very expensive- looking robe, and some boxers underneath. Sesshoumaru grimaced, unnoticeably.
InuYasha, and Sesshoumaru looked at their father, while he looked back at them.
"Well?" He asked, wondering, why his two only sons were down in the living room so early in the morning, usually he had the whole floor to himself in the morning.
"Nii- Chan slept down here alllllll night!" InuYasha said cheerfully, ratting Sesshoumaru out. Sesshoumaru let out a low growl in his throat.
"Why'd you do that, Sesshoumaru?" InuTaisho asked looked at his son questionably.
"I'm not sure, father." Sesshoumaru lied. He shouldn't have though. Father has always been able to see through his lies. Even the smallest ones.
"Liar. Why did you stay down here all night?" He asked, of course seeing trough Sesshoumaru's lie. He sighed.
"I was up all night.. Writing. But I assure you Otou- San, I'm not tired at all. I'll be fine for school." He confessed. But with another lie that he could feign very well.
"What were you writing that was so important to stay up all night to finish? InuTaisho asked.
"Lyrics."
"For that band? What was it called again?"
"Anti- Love."
"Your just dark all around aren't you?"
Sesshoumaru looked confused. 'Am I?' he thought. 'Nooo..' he then thought. So to prove his point, to wake up a little, and maybe scare his father a little, he jumped from his seat on the couch and pounded his hand over his chest where his heart was.
"OF COURSE NOT! NOT IN MY HEART!" Sesshoumaru yelled as he started prancing around the living room, grabbing his cell phone and lyrics notebook, and pranced himself upstairs to shower. And he just happened to prance by Izayoi, whom looked mortified by Sesshoumaru's sudden freakish behavior, which wasn't himself or normal.
Sesshoumaru stopped his sudden outburst as soon as he shut the bathroom door. He walked over to the mirror and began removing his snake bites, and his eyebrow piercing which he decided he no longer wanted, so he just threw it away. Sesshoumaru took his cup he now used to clean his snake bites, and filled it a little with rubbing alcohol and put the metal in it to disinfect. He then walked over to the shower and turned it on to his perfect temperature which he already knew by heart. He removed his clothes and climbed in. He quickly washed and got out. He was already running late as it was.
He couldn't wait to show the lyrics to Kagome, who he knew would love them, but he liked seeing her reactions. He climbed out of the shower and brushed his teeth and used mouthwash for the snake bite piercing, and placed them back in his lip. There were two holes on his eyebrow, on above and below his eyebrow. Those would be gone by time he got to school, so he didn't pay them any mind. He slung the towel over his head, and them slipped on some boxers, and exited the bathroom, and headed to his bedroom. As he passed the stair case he heard foot steps but paid no mind to them, and proceeded to his room.
"Sesshoumaru!" A feminine voice call as he passed the staircase. He stopped. He knew that voice…
"Kagome?" Sesshoumaru turned and looked at the staircase, and there was Kagome progressing up the stairs towards him.
"What are you doing here so early?" He asked, looking at her stunned form as she reached the top of the stairs and was now standing next to him.
"I was bored. So I came to bug you." she answered staring at his torso. Sesshoumaru was amused by this.
"See something you like?" Sesshoumaru joked. Almost bursting into laughter when he saw her turn beet red.
"No. Just an ugly boy standing here before me." She joked back. She smirked.
"Awe, Kag that hurt." Sesshoumaru said pretending to be offended, resting his hand on his heart, looking down.
"Yeah, right emo boy!" She said as she stalked off to his bedroom.
"I'M NOT EMO!" Sesshoumaru almost screamed, but kept it lower, as he ran towards her.
When he got to her she looked at him playfully. "Yeah yeah whatever you say." Kagome said as she spotted the lyrics notebook in Sesshoumaru's hand.
"Did you finish 'Queen's Boulevard'?" She asked her eyes on the notebook.
"Oh, yeah. Here. And in the parenthesis is where you sing alone, I marked it where we sing together with an asterisk. " Sesshoumaru said as he handed the notebook to her. She smiled looking excited. She read the lyrics, and Sesshoumaru got dressed. She read…
Queen's Boulevard
And baby why don't you just stay?
I'll sing you songs in bed all day*
And I'll give you blankets just to keep you warm
Anything to keep you away from that door*
But I can't keep you away*
And now I know it, why you got to go
I was just hoping that I could say no*
A kiss goodbye and she don't touch my lips
Just walk away and then my stomach twists*
Don't go (Don't go)
Baby please don't go*
Please don't go
And keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
Start your car *like you mean it this time*
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As your pulling away
And I only wish that you would stay
But you don't*
And I came to see you and I should have known
A wasted plane ticket to Ohio*
We're sleeping naked I'm the one you chose
But who else sees you in this bed without your clothes?*
I never believed a word you said*
(You still don't)
I still don't
And your so clever with the way you think
I'll never know it didn't mean a thing*
And a kiss goodbye and she don't touch my lips
Well, just walk away cause I don't need that shit*
Keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
And start your car *like you mean it this time*
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As your pulling away
And I only wish that you could stay
I only with that you would
Come and whisper in my ear*
"If I don't come back, come and find me"*
Always leave to make a scene*
Pretty eyes the joke's on me*
Come and whisper in my ear*
"If I don't come back, come and find me"*
Always leave to make a scene*
Pretty eyes the joke's on…*
(Keep walking away
And start your car like you mean it this time)
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As your pulling away
I only wish
I always wish
I only wish that you would stay
(And I only wish that you would stay, yeah)
And keep walking
Keep walking
(Keep walking
Keep walking..
And keep walking away..)
Right now.. *Your voice would shut me down*
So shut me down..
Right now.. *Your voice would shut me down*
So shut me down…
Kagome was astonished, not only on the length Sesshoumaru managed, but the professionalism it held.
"Sesshy- Kun, this is AMAZING! YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE MEE!" Kagome screamed as she jumped into Sesshoumaru's arms.
"Ahaha. Thanks" Sesshoumaru said, smiling trying to hug her as she jumped up and down. "Oh.." He continued. "Turn the page, I've got another one going. It's called 'Porcelain'. He added, she turned the page. It read…
Porcelain
Sat up for hours, thoughts of a lover,
I'll probably never get a chance to hold again
All my days spent waiting for nights with her again
Again…
Then it stopped. Kagome assumed that's where he left off, still trying to think of more.
"It sounds really good so far." Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and smiled.
"Thanks." Sesshoumaru said letting her go, and tending to other things he had to do to get ready.
"You know.. At this rate we'll have a whole albums worth of music we can record, and hopefully get scouted." Kagome said excitedly. She's always wanted to be famous in music. She looked at Sesshoumaru's alarm clock. "And you better get going. We have to leave in twenty minutes, you girl." She said jokingly, with a smirk.
"I'm not a girl! Geez. Besides, I'm ready." Sesshoumaru responded with venom in his voice.
"And Kagome.. You really want to be famous?" Sesshoumaru asked grabbing his bag and leading Kagome from his room.
"Yeah, that's why I started this band. I love music. And I want to be recognized for my musical talent, and my voice. I really love it." Kagome answer with a smile.
"Then I'm behind you, all the way. I would like to be here for you, and help you in anyway." Sesshoumaru smiled back at her, as they exited Sesshoumaru's house
"Thank you, Sesshy- Kun." Kagome said as she took Sesshoumaru's hand and swung their arms back and forth as they walked. She was so happy right now. The only thing she had to worry about was Hojo, and that wont be a real issue. If need be, Sesshoumaru would help her out.
That would be fun.
Bwahaha! And another one. Sorry for lateness. Heh.
