Sesshoumaru paced back and forth in his apartment. How was he going to get that little wench back? His hands were behind his back as he paced back and forth in his room. What should he do? There were so many ideas running through his mind, he didn't know which one to choose. He knew that taking her wasn't an option. Sesshoumaru stopped pacing for a moment… embarrassing her in front of everybody? He liked that idea. But where… when… and how?
He started to pace again, his mind quickly trying to think of something. He stopped again. Today was her day to relax right? She didn't have classes or anything. An evil thought came into his mind, a grin spreading across his face as he thought of what exactly he was going to do to the little vixen.
By this time it was about six at night. Kagome fell asleep against Inuyasha in their apartment while they were watching TV. Inuyasha didn't mind it, watching Kagome sleep, hearing her slow breaths and peaceful face. He smiled, caressing a strand of hair from her face. She was so beautiful… a bastard like Sesshoumaru didn't deserve someone like her. Just the thought of his brother made him angry.
A sound came from the door, the lock turning before the door opened. In came Sango with groceries. She put the bags on the table and looked at the couch, realizing that they were there.
"Inuyasha," Sango said, quietly, realizing that her friend was sleeping. He looked at her, then at the TV. The beauty against him began to stir, her eyelids fluttering open to reveal a stunning pair of blue eyes. She yawned and stretched and realized that she was against Inuyasha.
"Oh, I'm sorry… I didn't realize I fell asleep," she said, groggily, getting up. "It's fine, you were tired," Inuyasha responded. Kagome gave him a small smile of appreciation before her attention was turned to Sango. "Sango, you're here," she said, slightly bitter. Sango gave a small smile and nodded. "Are you hungry? I was about to cook," she offered. Kagome didn't answer right away. Her stomach was grumbling and she didn't feel like refusing… besides, Sango was more than a good cook.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks," Kagome answered quietly. Sango's smile grew a little, happy that her offer was accepted. She looked at Inuyasha, "Do you want anything?" she asked. He looked at Kagome for a moment, "Nah, I gotta head out anyway," he said. "Awwww, come on, Inuyasha. Please stay?" Kagome asked, an innocent smile and pleading eyes. He chuckled at her, "Fine," he answered. "Thank yooouuu," she said, giving him a brief hug before getting up.
"You want any help?" Kagome asked Sango, not wanting her roommate to do all the work. Sango's smile grew more, "Yeah, sure," she responded, feeling like she could fix her relationship with her friend. Inuyasha was still a little bitter, however, but if Kagome wasn't too angry about it, then he shouldn't be either.
"I must be the luckiest man alive. I've got two women cooking for me," he joked, lifting his feet up onto the table and relaxing. Kagome rolled her eyes, "Who said you were getting any food to begin with?" she asked, a sly grin on her face. His mouth gaped open a bit, "You asked me to—"
"I asked you to stay. I didn't say you could eat," Kagome said, crossing her arms. He growled before getting up, "Do you ladies need any help?" he asked in a fake polite manner. Kagome laughed, "Why yes, sir, you can start with the dishes," she answered. He smirked before going over to the sink.
The door bell rang and Kagome volunteered to get it. She opened the door a little. "MIroku," Kagome said, her voice coming out a bit bitter at first. He looked at Kagome with a sheepish smile, "Hey, Gome, is Sango here?" he asked. Kagome looked at Sango and opened the door. Inuyasha stopped washing the dishes as he saw his best friend come through.
"Miroku, hey. What's up?" Sango asked. Miroku lightened up when he saw her. "I was wondering if you were busy, but… you have guests over so, I'll come back later," he said, about to leave. "You should join us," Sango suggested. Inuyasha gave a gruff 'Hn' before turning back to the dishes. Miroku looked at Kagome, "Yeah, why not?" she said, closing the door. He smiled, "Well, what can I do to help?" he asked.
"You can start up the stove," Sango said. Miroku got to work. Everyone was having a good time, things being made up and such. Inuyasha wasn't too fond of making up, but, he went through with it.
Kagome woke up the next morning, realizing she had to get to class. She groaned, not wanting to get up. She sat up, swinging her legs over to the side before stretching. She stood up and went straight for the shower, starting her daily routine.
After a while, she was at the campus, on her way to her first class. She entered the building, about to go up the stairs, when she was suddenly snatched into a closet. She squealed and was about to scream when a hand came over her mouth. The hand slowly removed itself and Kagome turned to see who it was.
"Sesshoumaru, you creepy jerk!" Kagome whispered. He smirked. Kagome was about to leave when he caught her by the waist. "You know, you have a very attractive body, why hide it under turtlenecks and hoodies?" he asked quietly into her ear.
"Because of jerk offs like you," she replied, crossing her arms, learning that escape was futile the hard way. She heard him chuckle. She felt his hand slide under her shirt, and she quickly grabbed his arm to stop him. "Unless you want your arm cut off, you should really move your hand," she warned. He smiled, not knowing if she would really keep good on her word, but not willing to find out. He removed his hand Kagome loosened her grip on him.
"What do you want?" she asked, wanting to be out of there as soon as possible. "Just wanted to see you… and smell you," he said, pressing his nose against her neck. She rolled her eyes, "I'm not some drug you can get high off of," she responded angrily. He chuckled again, "You are so much more than that. I'd love to see how good you taste," he said. Kagome could feel herself getting slightly heated as he said so, blushing.
"Yeah, well at the rate you're going you might find yourself going… nowhere," she replied. "I don't appreciate your rudeness, Miss Higurashi," he remarked. "Well, I don't appreciate you having your hands all over me," she retorted. "Oh, but you will," he promised. She rolled her eyes, "I doubt it," she said under her breath.
"At least Inuyasha is civilized," she whispered. His smirk was gone, about to say an angry retort, but only smirked again. "How is my dear brother? Is he treating you well?" he asked. "Better than you ever will. He's everything you're not. He's funny, he's kind, and most of all, he's the one that took me away from a jerk face that can't keep his hands to himself," she answered, struggling to get away from him. Sesshoumaru wasn't pleased with the answer, but he took it.
"So he is, now," he said, before letting her go. She didn't ponder on his words, eager to get out of the stuffy closet. It was when she was up the stairs she started to think about what he said. 'So he is now?' What's that supposed to mean? She didn't know, but she was just happy that she was able to get away from him.
Inuyasha heard his cell phone ringing. He was still in bed and he really didn't want to get up. He pressed his ears down, trying to block out the noise. He growled when the sound wouldn't let up. He put his pillow over his head and was relieved when his ringtone stopped. He was about to slip back to sleep, when it started again. He growled louder, pulling his head from under his pillow, and reached for his cell phone, looking to see who dared disturbed him from his slumber.
His face immediately lightened up, it was Kagome. "Hello?" he answered, his voice still groggy.
"Inuyasha Taisho, are you still sleeping?" Kagome asked in her motherly 'you're in trouble' tone. His ears perked down, "No." He answered guiltily.
"Get your butt out of bed! It's after one in the afternoon, and I'm getting lunch. Wanna come?" she asked, he could imagine the smile on her face. "Yeah, where at?" he asked. "I don't know. The mall?" she asked, her voice hopeful. He smirked, "Sure, I'll pick you up in thirty minutes. Where are you?" Inuyasha asked, still tired. "Ummm… Buyo Library," she replied.
"What are you doing there?" he complained, it was pretty far. "Studying, something you should try doing," Kagome retorted. He rolled his eyes, "Make that forty," he replied. "It's a date," she replied, before hanging up. He was a little surprised at her remark. A date? He smiled, so it was.
Kagome hung up, going back to her laptop and researching for her project. "Kagome!" yelled a voice, several people glared at her, 'Shhhh'-ing her. She rolled her eyes and walked up to Kagome. Kagome tried to hide from everyone that was looking at her as her friend, Eri, came over.
"Eri, this is a library," Kagome whispered, slightly angered. "Oh, boo-hoo, people will get over it," she replied, plopping in the seat next to her. "Whatcha up to?" she asked, curiously looking at her screen. "A project," Kagome replied simply. "Of course. Kagome Higurashi, always studying and putting her nose in her book. You, my friend, need some fun," Eri said, a grin on her face. "Well, I'm going to the mall with Inuyasha in less than an hour," Kagome remarked, not taking her eyes off her screen.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha Taisho? Kagome, why didn't you say so? You realize you're dating the second hottest guy in this college, right?" Eri asked, incredulous. "Eri, we're not dating. We're just going out to lunch," Kagome said, slightly irritated now. "But it's a date, right?" Eri asked, bugging her. Kagome stopped for a moment and sighed, "Eri, it's just two friends going out to eat," Kagome answered, now very annoyed.
"You are in denial, Kagome," Eri said in a light-hearted voice. Kagome ignored her, but then heard Eri gasp, knowing she thought of something and it couldn't be good. "Gome! We should go to the pool!" Eri suggested. Kagome was about to retort, but then thought that it wasn't such a bad idea. It was a really hot day outside… "I don't have my stuff with me," Kagome said. "So? You can stop by your place and get your stuff. I'll meet you at the pool. Oh and bring your sexy non-boyfriend with you," Eri said, before getting up to leave.
Kagome huffed, she wanted to go, but did Inuyasha?
"Hey, you ready to go?" came Inuyasha's voice. Kagome looked up at him and gave him an innocent smile. "Inuyasha," Kagome started. Inuyasha didn't know what to think, what was she going to ask…?
"Would you want to go to the pool with me?" she asked with her oh-so-innocent voice. His ears perked, making Kagome grin. "Right now?" he asked, taken off guard a little. "Yeah, why not? It's really hot outside," she said, not getting up yet. He shrugged, "Sure," he said, but then narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?" he asked.
"I have to pick up my stuff from my apartment," she said, biting her lip, hopeful that he would do her this favor. He growled, "You're costing me money." "Thank you!" she whispered loudly, not to disturb the others, and jumped up to hug him. "Yeah, yeah," he said, she gathered her things and walked out the door.
Sesshoumaru was relaxing, shades on and relaxing as he felt the sun on his skin. He was well aware of the women that were ogling him, but he didn't much care. He had his sights on just one though. He caught the intoxicating scent that belonged to the person that he was just thinking about, looking towards the entrance. He smirked, she was here… with his brother. Figures.
He layed back to relax again, biding his time before the time came.
Kagome walked in, already dressed in her light blue bikini to match her brilliant eyes. Inuyasha had swim trunks and a white t-shirt on, not ready to take it off yet. Kagome sat down, getting her towel set to lie back down.
Inuyasha was beside her, smirking as he saw the girls checking him out.
Kagome looked at him and rolled her eyes playfully. "I'm going to get some drinks, you want anything?" he asked. "Just a coke," she replied, smiling her innocent smile. Inuyasha was a little unnerved by it.
Kagome got settled in, looking around to see who was here. Her eyes stopped when she saw Sesshoumaru. He was standing, talking to someone, but she didn't really care who. She looked at his defined abs and how his muscles rippled as he breathed. His muscular arms caught her attention, but not as much as his pecs. Her mouth slightly opened and then she looked to see his face, and quickly looked away when she found that he was staring at her, with an egotistical smirk on his face.
Kagome mentally berated herself for letting him catch her… stare. Inuyasha came back with two drinks in hand, Kagome quickly accepted it and drank it until her throat burned from the carbonation. Inuyasha looked at her strangely, but brushed it off, figuring it was part of the weirdness of Kagome.
Kagome knew that Sesshoumaru was going to wave it in her face, so she was stuck deciding if she should stay or if she should go.
Sesshoumaru smirked, not listening to what the woman that was talking to him was saying. He couldn't wait to tease her about it. Then, the most unexpected thing happened, well… at least, unexpected for him. She got up to leave. After a few moments, he realized why she did, and smirk grew. He looked to the woman, "I must go," and walked away. The woman looked at him, mouth agape, not believing what just happened.
Kagome decided she wouldn't be able to stand his gloating, so she just got up to go to the bathroom. Inuyasha looked at her, confused. "I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a sec," Kagome said. "Okay," he replied, lying back to relax.
Kagome quickly walked into the woman's restroom, thankful that no one was in there. It was cold, especially when she was only wearing a bikini.
Sesshoumaru silently walked in, not liking the fact that he had to make a detour to avoid his annoying half-brother.
Kagome turned the cold water on, still feeling her were a little heated. She leaned her head forward to splash water on her face, and a chill ran down her spine. The cold air hitting the cold water on her face felt good, but she had a strange feeling that wasn't reason for the chill.
She looked up and saw none other than Sesshoumaru Taisho looking at her through the mirror. She gasped and turned around.
"Do you not know the meaning of ladies' room? Oh wait, it doesn't really matter, cause when it comes right down to it, you might as well be a girl," Kagome remarked, rolling her eyes as she turned back around walked to the paper towel dispenser. Sesshoumaru only smirked, his eyes gazing at her body.
He walked over to her, standing very close, so when Kagome turned around, they barely had breathing space. Kagome backed up against the cold wall. Sesshoumaru stepped closer, trapping her. Kagome's body slowly became slightly heated at his closeness. He leaned closely, to her ear.
"Kagome, Kagome," he said quietly with his deep voice, making Kagome swoon on the inside the way he said her name. She snapped out of it, "I have to go," she said, pressing her cold hands on his warm chest. She tried to push him away, but he didn't budge.
He chuckled at her feeble attempt to move him, but he did enjoy the feel of her cold hands. He moved his lips down to her neck, placing a chaste kiss on the spot that he loved so much.
Kagome didn't expect it, felt herself heat up more as she felt a wave of arousal wash through her. Sesshoumaru placed another one a little lower, before she could snap out of it. Sesshoumaru could feel her hands tighten and her nails putting more pressure into his skin, making him smile. Kagome didn't know what to do, before her sense came back to her, she felt the second kiss and another wave, but weaker than the last, wash over her. This time, she snapped of it quickly enough to try harder to push him away. Sesshoumaru still didn't move, placing an open-mouth kiss on her neck, feeling her warm skin get hotter.
Kagome's eyes fluttered closed, her mouth open in a silent moan as she felt another strong wave of arousal go through her. Sesshoumaru could smell it, the aroma of her arousal, especially in what she was wearing now. A part of him wanting to rip off what little clothes she had and taste her, but a bigger part keeping himself in control.
Kagome was thankful for the cold wall behind her, effectively cooling her off somewhat. Then suddenly, there was nothing in front of her. Her hands touching nothing, except air as she opened her eyes. Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be found, leaving Kagome confused.
Sesshoumaru knew she was enjoying this just as much as he was, so he backed away and left, leaving her wanting so much more.
Kagome cursed herself, feeling guilty for letting Sesshoumaru make her feel the way she did. She rolled her eyes, so unwilling to go out. She took a deep breath and walked out, deciding to act as if nothing happened. She immediately dived into the pool, which really helped her cool off, swimming across the pool in one breath. She got out of the other side and walked towards Inuyasha.
"That was a long ass time, what'd you do in there, take a shower?" he joked. "I'm glad I didn't," she said under her breath. Her eyes glanced over to Sesshoumaru, only to find that he was smirking at her. She rolled her eyes, huffing as she crossed her arms. She thought about wiping the smirk of his face, flirting with Inuyasha, but quickly brushed it aside. She couldn't do that to Inuyasha, so Kagome settled for letting him have his victory now.
