Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one in this story.......sad though it is to admit that.
Warning: Characters will be OOC some of the time....you've been told so don't make a fuss please.
Authors Note: See, I kept my promise.....a second chapter before the day is through (Central standard time, lol). Sadly.....I have to say there isn't too much crazy excitement going on in this one......but its all part of the story, so it is what it is. I hope you all enjoy and review for me. I'm not going to make promises of update days, because I can't say for sure (I'm in the process of interviewing for new jobs so I'm kinda all over the place). I will, however, NOT make you wait nearly as long this time.
Now for Shout outs! (Yes....There are still a couple even though it hasn't been a full 12 hours.....*does happy dance*):
CKannoymous- Glad you were loving it up to chapter 7 and I hope you continued to love it up to this one too

A Whispered Truth:
Just over a week has passed, my sunburn has faded (painfully), the boys have started writing a new song that they won't let me hear and, for the first time in months, the sun hasn't rudely awakened me.
Ding Dong!
I roll over and stare at the ceiling. 'Unbelievable, I finally have a chance to sleep in, only to have one of the boys decide to drop by early.' Groaning, I get out of bed, change into some jeans and a T-shirt and heading down to see who it is.
"Good morning Kagsi! I'm glad to see that I didn't wake you up." Inuyasha seemed so overjoyed about something that I didn't have the heart to say that he did.
"Morning Inuyasha, what's up?"
"Well, if you'll just follow me, I have a surprise for…"
I cut him off before he can say much more. "Whoa, Inuyasha, I don't know if I want this surprise. The last one that I got from you boys was Miroku deciding to show me his pet rat."
"Oh, well, you'll love this one, I promise." He turns on his puppy eyes. "Pwease!!"
I tried to fight it….really I did, but there's just no denying that face."Fine, let me grab some shoes. By the way, have you seen Sesshoumaru this morning?"
"Yeah, he's already over at my house waiting for you."
With one foot off the floor while I was tying my laces I came to a complete stand still. "You know, that only makes me more suspicious. Is this revenge for the water gun prank?" I stare him down for a second before finishing my laces and locking the door
Laughing, he shakes his head. "No, nothing like that, don't worry though, Sango is being brought over as well."
"Again, that brings no comfort to me." Walking up the porch steps, I meet Sango and Miroku.
She leans over to me. "Dou you have any clue what's going on?"
"Nope, but if it's a prank, the boys are so going to get it." Carefully, I push open the door and Sango follows me inside.
Nothing. Other than the two boys behind us, there is no noise. Carefully, we proceed to the next room, only to be attacked.
"Oomph!" The air quickly leaves my lungs as Sango and I are tackled to the floor by what I could swear was a screaming Kikyo .
"Hey guys, missed you so much, how are you?" Yep, I was right, it was Kikyo .
"Hey Kiks, when did you get here?" Sango asks as I try to recover my stolen breath.
"I got here earlier this morning. Inuyasha picked me up from the airport. I have a week and a half vacation time; I decided to come see you guys."
I smirk, "Oh, Inuyasha picked you up? Does this me you two are together?" They both blush and look away. "I'll take that as a yes, how long has this been going on?"
Miroku and Sesshoumaru all crack a smile as Koga answers for them, "Oh, they've been IM-ing each other practically non-stop since we got back from the states."
Sango and I look at each other, and then turn towards the boys. Suddenly Sango glares at them. "You mean to tell me that all of you knew about this, but nobody told us?"
They all have the decency to look somewhat ashamed, except Sesshoumaru who just stands there calmly, while nodding their heads. Shaking my head in disbelief, I look towards them. "You no have no right to get us back for the water gun prank; it was well deserved, even though we didn't know at the moment."
"Yeah," Sango starts, "Anyways, where are you staying, we have an extra room if you need it."
"Ladies," Sesshoumaru interrupts, " She's here because Inuyasha invited her. I'm pretty sure that he has provided her with a place to stay." Then he leans into my ear and whispers "Besides, I don't think Kikyo wants to hear what's going on between those two at night."
I bust out laughing and hide my face into Sesshoumaru's shoulder to avoid the questioning looks that I can feel everyone was giving me.
"What just happened?" Miroku asks, looking even more confused than normal.
I straighten up and manage to pull off a completely calm face. "Nothing, I just was thinking about how I'm going to have to get Kikyo back for not telling me anything."
"Hey, that's not fair; it's not my fault that we were never online at the same time." She protests.
"Well then, I'll be sure to take that into consideration. Now I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat." I link my fingers with Sesshoumaru as we walk out the door with the others following us.
"Hey guys wait up and let me go get my girl!" Koga yells over his shoulder as he dashes towards his house.
While we are waiting for Koga and Ayame to come back, two hands reach out and pull me away from the rest of the group. Turning, I see that it's Sango and Kikyo.
Kikyo speaks first. "I notice that you and Sesshoumaru are really close and cuddly, so how far have you gone?"
Stunned, I can't do anything but stare at her. "Wait, What!? Not you too!" Pulling out of their hold on my arms, I look at them both. "Look guys, you both know that if anything were to happen, I would let you now first. But as of right now, nothing other than some really great kissing is going on. Nothing else has happened yet." Immediately I could have smacked myself for adding that last word in there.
"Yet?" Sango smirks, "So you are possibly planning for something else to happen soon?"
Turning to walk away, I speak over my shoulder, "guys, I'm so not having this conversation with you. If something happens, when it happens, I'll let you know first. Now stop grilling me for information."
"What was that all about?" Sesshoumaru questions when I return to the group.
"Believe me, you don't want to know." Seeing Koga and Ayame have joined us, I change the subject. "Let's go eat, where do you think we should go?"
"Wow, I don't think I could eat another bite." Pushing back my plate, I look around the table at everyone. They're all laughing and having a good time and it makes me smile to see everyone so happy. However, I can't get what Sango and Kikyo were talking about out of my head. Where was my relationship with Sesshoumaru heading? I knew that deep within me I loved him; I just hadn't gotten around to telling him that. Plus, there was the constant fear that he didn't love me back. Irrational, I know, but it was there all the same.
I'm suddenly brought back to the real world when I feel fingers brush against my face. It was Sesshoumaru: "Are you all right ?" I look at him bore looking up and realizing I was the only one still sitting at the table. Everyone else was standing and now staring at me.
"Oh…sorry, I wandered off into my own world again. What is it?" I ask.
"Well," Starts Kikyo, "The check has been paid for, so we were going to go hang out at Koga's for a bit before calling it a night. Everyone started to get up except you, so now we're all wondering what you're thinking."
"Right, well, it was nothing…let's go." 'Way to go Kagome, just space out in front of everyone.' I follow Sesshoumaru and Sango out to Miroku's car while Inuyasha and Kikyo get into Koga's.
With Miroku and Sango talking animatedly in the front seat, Sesshoumaru leans over and starts to talk. "Are you sure you're okay? You seemed a little worried back there."
"Oh no, I'm totally fine, really! I can't even remember what I was thinking about." I lean over to kiss him, "Don't worry about it."
He raises his eyebrow in disbelief, but lets it go. "Alright." He kisses me back.
"We're here!" Sango calls out from the front seat as she and Miroku get out of the car.
Following behind the two, Sesshoumaru and I make our way up the steps and into Koga's house.
Surprisingly, we all start to leave after about thirty minutes. Kikyo left first, though I don't blame her, what with jet lag and all. Inuyasha, of course, left with her, then Miroku and Sango to followed. Just now, Sesshoumaru and I were getting home where I immediately sit down to check my e-mails quickly.
"Hey Babe, I'm gonna go ahead and head on up to bed." Sesshoumaru whispers in my ear before he kisses me on the top of my head.
"Alright, I'll be up soon." I turn my head to kiss him before he takes off up the stairs. Ten minutes later, I too head up and into the bathroom to take a shower, brush my teeth and change into some pajamas.
Entering the room I notice that Sesshoumaru is already sound asleep. Carefully I creep across the room and slide into bed. Turning off the lamp I snuggle into his hold. I close my eyes to sleep, but before drifting off, I whisper into the silent room "Good night Sesshoumaru Taisho….…I love you."
Author's Note: Well...like I said....nothing too exciting, but the truth is finally out.....sort of, haha. At least its a step in the right direction and please no one hurt me for leaving it there. Otherwise I'll never make it back and finish......
Click that review button for me please. I'm gonna try and get this all up and finished before I join the real and true working world out there and have no life, heehee.
Laters!
