AN/ Okay I know it's been almost a week since I last updated but I haven't been able to reach a computer lately so sue me! Anyway, here's what you all have been waiting for…
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and company…
Kagome hadn't slept all that night…she was a little worried about what had happened only a few hours ago. 'What am I going to tell Inuyasha…' she sighed before sitting up in her bed, deciding that if she wasn't going to sleep she might as well get up now. 'Inuyasha's going to kill me' were her thoughts as she trudged to the bathroom to take a shower, not noticing the sound of running water coming from the inside had turned off. Reaching out to open the door she was shocked when it was pulled open from the inside. She blinked once before looking up at who had opened the door. Her eyes went saucer wide as a crimson blush burned across her cheeks. Sesshomaru stood before her wearing nothing but a towel around his pale waist, his long silver hair was glistening with leftover droplets of water as smaller rivulets clung to his skin, rolling down his chest and shoulders, dripping from his hair. Her mind had gone blank as she openly admired him, not noticing the surprised and slightly embarrassed expression on the older teens face. Snapping back to reality she shook her head and looked away, moving to the side so that he could go past her to his room.
"I-I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that you were in there, I am so sorry!" she stood there stalk still, not making a sound. Then she heard a light chuckled come from the other as she heard the padding of footsteps getting closer. She gasped, nearly jumping out of her skin when she felt two long, wet arms wrap around her waist, and pull her flush against his chest.
"What is there to apologize for? Why should I mind when a pretty girl is admiring my body…" she tensed noticeable with that comment, holding back the urge to shiver. She couldn't say that she didn't like this but she couldn't let Inuyasha or Kouga see them like this or they'd both go ballistic.
"Um, Sesshomaru…Inuyasha could come along at any minute and I really need a shower…not that I don't like this, but…it's not that uncomfortable, and…you only have a towel on!" he chuckled, 'even her rambling is endearing…' he let go , and turned from the raven haired girl. She glanced over her shoulder to take a final look at his retreating form before he disappeared behind his bedroom door. She let out a long sigh as if she had been holding her breath the entire time, her shoulders slumping. 'Man I really need a shower…' so she turned to the bathroom and walked in, making sure to lock the door behind her. Just in case.
Thirty Minutes Later….
She stepped out of the shower fully refreshed and ready to face the day, she didn't even feel tired anymore. Walking from the washroom with her fluffy blue towel wrapped tightly around her, she skipped happily across the hall to her room. And when she opened the door she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing in my room?!" her voice cracked with panic as she clung desperately to the towel that just barely covered herself. When he had turned his attention to her from his position on her bed, his eyebrows rose as he unnoticeably swallowed down the urge to look anywhere but at her face. He kept a firm grip on his ability to look at her face as he crossed his legs and folded his arms across his chest.
"I came in your room so that I could wait for you to be done with your shower…I wanted to ask you something" she narrowed her eyes suspiciously as she made her way to the dresser on the other side of the room.
"Oh? And what would that be?" she reached into the dresser drawer and pulled out some clothes. She gestured to him to turn around so that she could get dressed and he could ask his question. When he finally turned around she let the towel drop and began dressing herself.
"Go on…" he shifted a little in his seat before straightening his posture.
"I would like to know if you would accompany me to dinner tonight…a few of my friends will be there and I wish to bring a date…" he paused waiting for a reaction from the other in the room, but all he could hear was the rustling of clothes…then finally she came over and sat down next to him.
"If I were to say yes, what are we going to tell Inuyasha?" he had stiffened at the name, glancing over at her.
"I will tell him that I merely invited you to a dinner with, and as friends… knowing him he might be suspicious at first, but I doubt he could put two and two together…" it was silent for a moment before she sighed with defeat.
"Fine, I'll go…who knows, it might be fun!" she gave him a bright smile, and was surprised that he had returned her smile with a small one of his own. Getting up from her bed he walked to the door, pausing with his hand on the knob. He glanced back over his shoulder, and gave her another small smile.
"I'll come to your room tonight at seven…be ready" and with that, he left the room, closing the door behind him. She groaned, falling back on her bed.
"How do I get myself into these messes?" her stomach growled lightly, reminding her that she was hungry and it was breakfast. Getting up from her bed she left the room, and couldn't help but feel like she was going to have a good time tonight.
AN/ Sorry this chappy is so short, but I had very little time and I just really wanted him to ask her out…
Sesshomaru: I am pleased with the outcome of this chapter…I have decided that I shall spare your life…
Me: Um…thanks? Anyway, please review so I can post more!
