Kagome got in the back seat and purposely slammed the door, a small smug grin on her face at the glare she received via the rear view mirror. Like she would just let him get his way without annoying him in some form, pfft yeah right. She was slightly mad that her mother and brother just filed in to his car, what part of the dinner conversation did they miss?
Sesshomaru watched as Kagome threw a fit in his back seat, once more finding himself wanting to chuckle at her antics. It was always fun to piss her off in the past now however he found it to be even more fun. 500 years gave him a lot of time to change, and while the change was not huge he did learn to lighten up a bit.
Once everyone was settled in he put his car in to gear and drove down the drive way. "Thank you so much for offering to take us home Sesshomaru" Satomi stated with a smile.
Kagome scoffed from the back seat "He didn't offer mom he commanded" she said heatedly.
Keeping the smile on her face Satomi turned and glared at her daughter "Kagome I know I taught you better manners than that."
"It is ok Satomi I am use to your daughter being rude and disrespectful to me" Sesshomaru stated from the driver seat.
Kagome kicked the back of the seat in front of her "As if you didn't deserve it don't act like you were all peaches and cream to Inuyasha and I" she hissed.
Kagome crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. He mom didn't know the whole story and Kagome was sure if she knew that Sesshomaru had tried to kill her on multiple occasions she wouldn't be so friendly with him either.
It didn't take long before they pulled up to Satomi's home, and Satomi and Sota stepped out of the car. Kagome got out as well hugging her mother and brother good bye. When her mother and brother walked in to their home Kagome turned and began to walk down the sidewalk .No way was she going to let Sesshomaru take her to her apartment. The man may be a demon lord but he was by no means her lord.
Sesshomaru had averted his eyes when the family said their good byes, he felt it was a family moment and he did not wish to watch. When Kagome did not get back in the car after he heard the door to her mother's home shut he looked up.
There she was walking down the side walk and Sesshomaru bit back a growl. This woman was turning down his generosity and he didn't offer it often. Stepping from the car and closing the door he had to fight not to slam it. He made quick work to catch up to the miko and grabbed her by the shoulder and spun her around.
"It is rude to leave without an explanation miko" Sesshomaru bit out through clenched teeth.
Kagome glared up at the demon in front of her "I don't need you to take me home I've managed just fine walking these streets for the last 5 years, I'll do just fine now"
Sesshomaru released her shoulder taking a deep calming breath "I am not saying you cannot take care of yourself Kagome, I am merely trying to be a gentleman" he said studying her.
Kagome's anger was washed away by shock; the Sesshomaru had just used her name and spoke to her calmly. Trying to grab on to her anger once more she turned and continued to walk "I don't need you to be a gentleman to me Sesshomaru" she said softly.
Sesshomaru had had enough of her attitude letting out a sigh he caught up to Kagome and threw her over his shoulder. "It was not a request Kagome I already told you that" he said and he marched back to his car.
Kagome was walking one minuet than had the wind knocked out of her being thrown over a shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Once she got her bearings back she began her fight ponding on the back she was now looking at. "Put me down you over baring demon" she yelled out.
Sesshomaru chuckled at her merger struggles, "Gladly Kagome" he said as he opened his passenger side car door and threw her down in the seat buckling her seat belt. He quickly shut the door and then went to his and got in and put the car in gear.
Kagome glared at him from her seat "I am not letting you take me home Sesshomaru so you may as well let me out" she said turning her head from him.
Sesshomaru didn't reply he simply continued to drive. It was true he didn't have her exact address but he knew she lived on the east side of town. He was sure that once in that part of town she would give up her address simply so she could be out of his company.
Kagome glared out the window as the passed houses and small shops that she knew all too well. They were in her neighborhood but she was not going to tell him where she lived. He of all people didn't need to know it's not like they were friends.
She chanced a glance over at him, he didn't put his concealing spell back on and Kagome took a minuet to admire the beauty that was Sesshomaru. He really didn't change much looks wise same strong jaw, flawless skin, silky hair and hypnotizing eyes.
She felt her heart flutter slightly, after her and Inuyasha had decided they were best off as friends she had started looking around at other males she was surrounded by at the time. Koga was out simply because she could only think of him as a friend. Miroku was already Sango's and the human men of the time period really didn't do anything for her.
So with her options very limited she had stated to notice Sesshomaru. What female in the right mind wouldn't notice the perfect specimen of a male though honestly? Letting out a sigh she looked back out the window, what good would it due her to dig up old feelings of a crush on the demon she knew still detested humans.
Sesshomaru had caught her glance and then the slight uptick in her heart rate. Not willing to let her know he was observing her he kept his eyes on the road but tuned all of his other heightened senses to the woman in the car with him.
He allowed his thoughts to drift to the past, when he had first encountered the miko she was a nuisance to him his half-brothers wench. Upon his next encounter with her she became a curiosity, after all no other being had ever lived through his poison, but she did. Then she broke his armor and while it pissed him off he also found that he began to admire her strength and loyalty. As more encounters had happened he found that he came to respect her for a human of course.
That had been his down fall his respect and curiously had led to him saving her on occasions and seeking her eyes out when he would stop in to fight his brother. When she disappeared his beast took great pleasure in flashing her image in his mind for the next 100 years. Now that he had found her again he was determined to get to know her.
Noticing her turn away from him he spoke "Are you going to give me your address so I may take you home?" he asked in a bored tone.
Kagome looked over to him crossing her arms over her chest once more "Not a chance" she said back.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes slightly, she was acting like a child and though he found it to be slightly…cute it was getting old fast. "Very well" he stated, and turned to get on the main road.
If she didn't want to tell him her address he would simply take her home with him. That thought almost made him purr, not for completely unknown reasons he admitted. A part of him wished to show off slightly to the young woman at his side, and while he wouldn't admit it out loud he would to himself.
He took a deep breath through his nose taking in her sent slightly mixed with his and found it very pleasing to the pallet. Yes having her in his home wouldn't be such a bad idea at all thought he was sure she would think otherwise.
Kagome noticed that they were getting out of her neighborhood and going to the higher classed area of the west. She never really came on to the west side of town her merger budget didn't allow her to really. Looking around at the neighborhood they just entered she noticed it filled with large expensive homes.
"Where are we going?" she asked not looking over to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru didn't answer her, he didn't see the need to at least not till they were in his driveway. Witch they were approaching quickly the noticed.
Kagome noticed they were slowing down and looked at the huge mansion she could see set back from the road. "Sesshomaru where are you taking me?" she tried again this time looking over to him.
Sesshomaru pulled up to his gates and entered his pass code, as he watched the gates close behind him he glanced over at Kagome. "I have brought you to my home, you did not wish to give me your address and I did not wish to waste my time or gas driving around until you grew up" he remarked.
Kagome saw red, who the hell did he think he was to treat her like this. She had rights he couldn't just force his will on to her in this time period. She glared at the demon next to her expanding her aura with in the car. This was the last straw she was not going to put up with him all night.
Sesshomaru smirk as he felt her aura begin to become almost oppressive in the small car. Turning his smirk on to the woman next to him he spoke "If it is a fight you are looking for miko I suggest you wait till we make it to my dojo" he said calmly.
Kagome got a very dark smirk on her face "Oh you just bit off more than you can chew big boy" she hissed out through clenched teeth to him.
Sesshomaru chuckled as he put the car in to park and looked over to her "Did I?" he asked. The smirk once on his face now turned to a cocky grin.
Kagome fought the urge to reach over and slap the grin right off is face. Instead she settled for narrowing her eyes and opening her door to get out of the car. She didn't want to fight this bastard with words oh no she wanted to teach him a lesson he would never forget.
Sesshomaru climbed out of his car like she had the angrier she became the more her aura seemed to expand. Not for the first time since meeting her again did he wonder just how much power she truly possessed now. He would take great joy in making her show him just what she was made of this night.
The only thing better than a good rut was a good fight and Sesshomaru was sure that Kagome was about to give him just that. He walked past her in to his home as much as he wanted to show her around and watch her be shocked and amazed by his home he was sure she was most interested in seeing his dojo at the moment.
His beast chuckled in the back of his mind "Let the courting begin" it growled lowly.
