Kagome laid down in her bed, exhausted. She never knew that it only took two days and that things would move so fast. She didn't know how things would happen, she didn't know how the talk with Sesshomaru would go, she didn't know shit, and even though she was frustrated, she was too mental and physically drained to care. She sighed fitfully as she drifted off into a restless dream-state.
The next day…
Kagome awoke on Saturday morning, feeling groggy and irritable, she went to the bathroom hoping a bath would calm her nerves. She ran her bath water, adding Epsom salt and bubbles, she sat in the tub for hours, working out all the problems in her mind, trying to figure out what she wanted to do. So much information had bombarded her over the past 48 hours, and she was just now giving herself the time to figure it out.
'Even though Sesshomaru and I have already had sex, I want to be courted the old fashion-modernistic way. I want him to work for me, and if he's not willing to do that, not only have I given my virginity to a greedy pig, but I just might be stuck in a mating ritual with that pig…Kami…what do I do? I'm apparently heir to the Eastern throne, and it was said so nonchalantly, like I was supposed to know. Should I have known? Does mom know and never told me? Did she know there were others? I have to talk to her. First though, let me relax.'
'Our mate comes.'
Kagome groaned inwardly, immediately feeling his aura coming up the steps to her house, but she didn't want to talk with him right now. She rose from the tub, feeling somewhat relaxed, more so than she did upon entering. She rose from the tub, grabbing her towel, as she went in her room to dry off. She put on a pair of fuzzy pajama pants and a long sleeved jersey-patterned V-neck, house shoe footies, and pinned her hair in a bun. 'If he can't handle me looking like this, then he can kiss the fattest part of my ass. I am so not in the mood for his domineering attitude right now.'
She heard the doorbell ring and yelled, "I'll get it!" She shuffled down the few steps to the living room and opened the door, not saying anything she gripped his hand and he followed her up the stairs to her room.
Quickly shutting the door and locking it, she sat on the bed Indian style, ready for their little, 'conversation.'
"Kagome, yesterday...I apologize. I had no right to take your virginity in that way, not without properly courting you. For this, I am sorry." Kagome just looked at him, "I'm not angry." He looked at her with puzzlement in his gazed, one eyebrow arched in question, "Really," she said, "I'm not, I'm just overwhelmed, so much has happened, and I've only known you for two days. I feel like I've been moving too fast with everything.
I want it to slow waaaaay down. Sesshomaru, if you really are after me, I want you to court me like you're after me, and I don't want all of these extravagant gifts that I feel bad for taking. I don't want you to try forcing me into doing things, or forcefully kissing me without permission, I don't want you pulling rank on me, because you're alpha."
He nodded slightly in understanding. "Miko, I will not touch you in a romantic manner until you initiate it. I vow this to you. This Sesshomaru will do as you've asked, but do not expect for this one to change his ways simply because you deem it so. This is unacceptable."
She rolled her eyes, "Of course I'm not asking you to do that. I don't want to be courted by a stranger. Can't you be yourself without forcefully kissing me in front of the entire student body?"
Sesshomaru smirked slightly, almost unnoticeable, "Indeed Miko, but where's the fun in that?" She rolled her eyes, smiling, she was glad that her talk with Sesshomaru had went so easy, and that he truly seemed interested in her, and not in just her body.
He hugged her good bye, and then he was gone. She was glad her biggest problem was solved. The rest could be handled tomorrow, 'Let's just take it day by day Kagome.' She told herself.
(A/n: Hey you guys, this is that update, the next one should be up tomorrow, give me ideas on what their dates should be like, I'm thinking of a mini montage to explain their long drawn out relationship. I don't want to fast-forward too much, but I want to get to the juicy parts. Let me know! ~Juu)
