This is insane! Absolutely crazy and unimaginable! Kagome couldn't help but think as she slowly followed Sesshoumaru out into the school yard. It had been a little over a week since she had confronted him, and since then he had been around every day. On the weekend he would come over, and she would sneak out to the Oak so they could hang out. She had been surprised at how much they had had in common, from books to music they seemed to share similarities. She was becoming comfortable around him, so much so that it was scaring her. She knew better than this, that one day this would end and she would have to move again. She shouldn't be allowing this, but something inside her was telling her otherwise. Telling her that this was a good thing, that it was ok. She had never gone against her gut feelings, but this one just seemed too far-fetched.
Now, it was lunch time and they were going outside to eat. This had also become routine, having lunch together. It had given her something to look forward to, she anticipated it. They would just sit on the grass, he would eat his home made lunch while she ate whatever the cafeteria made, and talk. About anything and everything, except her home life. Even though Sesshoumaru had hinted that he knew what was going on, she never spoke of it. Kagome intended to never speak of it, it was her secret, and she would take it to her grave if she could. But it was getting harder to keep from him, because sometimes he would drop hints. Like he was trying to get her to talk, to slip up and mention what was being done to her. She never caved, she couldn't.
"You're quiet." His voice broke her out of her thoughts, and she looked at him with a smile.
"Just thinking Sessh, I didn't think you liked people that talked too much." She teased him.
"True, but you're an exception."
"Why?" she asked, she had asked before and he was always vague. Like he either didn't know himself, or it was a secret.
"You're different." Was all he said before he switched the subject. "How's your math homework going?"
"Don't ask." She groaned. "I suck, it makes no fricken sense!"
"I will tutor you then, after school every day." He replied with a smirk.
"Umm, I don't know about that. Mother wouldn't like it and dad would be furious if he found out how bad I'm doing in school."
"Then at my house then, they wouldn't have to know."
"How would I explain being late home from school?" she asked a little worried.
"We'll figure it out, I'll ask my father." He said with finality. The decision was made, and he was going to enjoy spending the extra time with her.
Day 7, a week down and I haven't missed a day yet. Yay me! lol
