Disclaimer: I'm not always very good at remembering to put this here....but once again, I have the sad duty of letting you know that I do not own the characters in this story. Only the creative idea and personalities portrayed.
Authors Note: I have to, have to, point this out now....before we go any further. Sesshoumaru's personality is going to become a bit more easy going and "fun loving" from here on out. The original reason is because (as I've said before) this story was originally written for a completely different thing. However, for this story, we are going to say it is because he's not in the "public eye" as much, it's just him, the guys and Kagome, so he doesn't have to have an "image" to uphold. Hope this Author note rambling makes sense. Thank you and enjoy.

Chapter 6:
I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. Though still not quite sure how, my mother agreed to me going to Tokyo with a "guy" she's never met and that I've barely gotten to know. I mean, I know that she trusts me completely, but I doubt she trusts Sesshoumaru as far as she can throw him (which isn't very far as he is an "all powerful demon."). I'm also sure Gramps had a few choice words to say about the fact that "my life will be in the hands of a demon." As soon as I mentioned Sesshoumaru, gramps was in his library, finding every bit of history on him that he could.
But yeah, the only condition set by mom was that if she decided to come to Tokyo to visit, I couldn't say no....I was all too glad to agree.
'Now Kagome, stop wasting time and call Sesshoumaru to let him know. Tonight is the bands last performance in Kitakyushu, Tomorrow they have a day off and then they fly back to Tokyo, so do it now and have a great summer vacation, trip, whatever this is that you're doing!'
Pulling out my phone, I find his number in my directory and push send; patiently I wait for the ringing to end.
"Hello?" 'Wow, I wasn't expecting someone to actually pick up the phone, figured it would go to voicemail.'
"Sesshoumaru? It's me Kagome."
He started to laugh. I stared at the phone, as if he could see me thinking he was crazy, before I put it back to my ear at the phone "What's so funny Sesshoumaru?"
"I knew it was you Kagome, Caller ID."
"Oh," It made sense, I mean, why would he pick up his personal phone if he didn't know who was calling, "Anyways, I wanted to let you know that after a day of begging, pleading, compromising and a few tears on my mom's part, she has agreed to me going to Tokyo with you. But just to warn you, Gramps is on some secret agenda to make sure that you're "safe or whatever, so if anything weird happens if you ever meet them, don't be too surprised." I laugh and he does that smirk that you can almost hear through the phone.
"I think I can handle that Kags," I shake my head at the nickname, it seems like everyone thinks that is the obvious one to pick, because pretty much every body I have ever met has called me that at some point. "We'll be flying back through Okinawa before we make our way to Tokyo. Our manager informed me that if you arrive at the airport at about 2pm on Saturday, there will be a ticket waiting for you at the Edo Airline. Desk. Don't worry about finding us; I will be sure to find you."
"Sesshoumaru, you know that you didn't have to get my ticket for me. Right?"
"I know, but it was my idea for you to travel, so the least I can do is provide the way for it to be done."
"Okay," I say laughing, "I'll be sure to be there to meet you at the airport at two, see you then! Bye Sessh."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and went to subject myself to the dreaded chore of packing. Normally I liked packing, but this time I really had to plan out what I wanted and what would fit. It had to be done carefully because if everything worked out, I'd be gone for 3 months and I would want to be sure I had everything that would be enough to live comfortably for those months.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day of adventure had arrived; I hugged my mother goodbye.....again....and made my way through the security gate. My ticket had been waiting for me just as Sesshoumaru had said it would, and now I just had to find the right gate to meet him. Looking at the ticket more closely so I would know where to go, I finally noticed that it was first class.
'Why are you so Shocked Kags? I mean, he is 1/4 of a pretty well-to-do band and you've seen enough YouTube videos to know they like comfort when they can have it. He wasn't going to put you back in coach unless he was going to be right there with you.'
I smile, shake my head, and proceed on down the corridors till I get to correct gate. Setting down my things, I glanced at the monitor to see that their flight was a little delayed on its way back from Kitakyushu so I pulled out a book, sat down, and started to read. A few minutes later, a shadow fell across my page.
"Excuse me but you're blo…Oh!" I Jumped up and gave Sesshoumaru a huge hug before I remembered that we truly really didn't know each other that well...(yet). Pulling back again, I smiled, "I didn't hear anything about you plane landing."
"Hmm...I suppose that must be a really good book then. I came to get you, the plane has started boarding, so we need had best board or we will get left behind."
To my surprise, he took hold of my hand and led me to the gate; I gave the lady my ticket before continuing down the ramp to the plane. He continued to lead me to my seat, and then he took the seat beside me.
Seeing my confused look, he smiles, "You didn't think you would be sitting in first class by some stranger now did you?"
"Honestly I never really thought much about it, but I'm that much happier to know that I am sitting next to someone I can talk with." I look around until I spot Miroku and Inuyasha and wave to them, they wave back and smile. Looking farther I see Kouga, asleep and completely lost to the world. "Did Kouga have a late night?"
Looking over my shoulder, Sesshoumaru just shook his head, "Being away from Ayame for so long has been tough on him, he talked to her all night last night. He just can't wait to get home to see her again."
"Oh…now that's cute." I smile and daydream about someday having a relationship like that.
"So, how long will our flight be today?
When he told me I nodded, "Sounds about right that seems like about how long it took me to get there when I went.
"Hnn.....I remember you said mentioned something about going to Tokyo before, what was that all about?" So, on our flight from Okinawa to Tokyo, I proceeded to tell Sesshoumaru more about my year in there.
Eventually they came around with the in-flight meal and it was amazing.
"This Oden is to die for." I say as I take a sip of my coke.
"Don't do that, then this will have all been for nothing." Sesshoumaru smirked, before making a pouting face.
I laughed before reaching out to smooth his forehead, "Don't worry, I don't plan on dying anytime soon for any reason. I also won't tell your fellow musicians that you're nothing but a big baby in the disguise of a demon."
It really wasn't going to be that much longer before we landed, but I had been so out of my normal schedule that I soon became drowsy. Having a full stomach didn't really help matters either. Before I knew it, I was drifting off and the last thing I remember before passing out completely is Sesshoumaru smirking and putting his arm around me to make me more comfortable.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Someone was shaking me, and I was fighting hard to stay asleep.
"Kagome wake up, we're close to Tokyo and they're providing a last call for drinks so if want anything, better get it now. It will be a bit before we will be able to get anything else."
He's taking pleasure from this I can tell, but grudgingly I wake myself up and stretch as best as I can in my seat. I look at Sesshoumaru and smile slightly "I hope I didn't do anything awful like talk in my sleep or drool on your shoulder."
"Hnn, I guess you'll never know."
It didn't take too much longer for me to notice Kouga was wide awake and that he was smiling mischievously.
"What's so funny Kouga?"
"I just have to say that you and Sesshoumaru were definitely very cute all curled up in each other's arms."
I felt Sesshoumaru stiffen a bit beside me and looked at him, "What?"
"When you fell asleep, I put my arm around you. It appears I also slept and soon enough the wolf snicker woke me to find that you had completely wrapped your arms around me and vice versa."
"Oh," was all I could say as I blushed slightly and glanced out the window.
The flight attendants passed out survey cards about the flight and after filling them out, the plane made a safe, if not bumpy landing.
Out of habit, as soon as we got off the plane, I began to make my way to the luggage return zone. It didn't take long while waiting before I realized that I was the only one who actually had luggage to wait for. The rest of them were just standing there, keeping me company as their luggage had already been retrieved by their manager.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, my black suitcases came around. Some how both of them were side by side so I didn't have to hunt for one or the other.
As I reach out to retrieve them, Sesshoumaru swiftly picked them up. "Don't worry," he smiled, "I got them."
Smiling back, I nodded and then I followed them out of the airport towards the limo that was waiting at the exit for them
Authors Note: Okay, okay, don't shoot me. I know that nothing too terribly exciting happened in this one and that is is a little short, but really, it had to be done and you did get to see a bit of the fluffly cuddly side of Sesshy.
Kouga; "yeah we did, and I took some pictures to post up and sell to the highest paying Tabloid.
Sesshoumaru: "Wolf.....do I really need to threaten your life everyday?"
Kagome: "Actually, Kouga, I wouldn't worry too much about what Sesshy will do, I'd worry about what I'll do. I know you've heard the phrase 'hell hath no fury like a women scorned.' Well.....this isn't quite the same thing, but it will be almost just as bad if you embaress me like that."
Kouga: "Okay, Sheesh!!! it was only a joke!"
Inuyasha: "Keh....stupid, mangy wolf. Anyways guys. Be sure to reveiw so that Ame will update even faster."
Author: Thanks Inuyasha, well said. Please let me know what you think and you'll get shout outs in return. Till next chapter guys!
