Chapter Eleven: First day

Kagome woke with a start the next morning.

"Come on Kagome get up!" Sota said excitedly. Kagome groaned and opened her eyes.

"What do you want?" Kagome asked lethargically.

"Get up and get ready! Mom made us breakfast. Come on sis hurry up." Kagome pulled herself out of bed and walked over to her closet as Sota walked out of her room. After throwing on a pair of tight dark blue hip huggers that had slashes all over them, which is why she wore purple and black tights underneath them which you could see clearly, she put on a short sleeved form fitting purple shirt that had a shinny black star right under her breasts, and the top point of the star was right between her cleavage. She grabbed her backpack and slipped on a pair of black flats, throwing a work outfit in her backpack. After walking down the stairs she went into the kitchen to see her mother and Sota chatting happily while her mother cooked over the stove.

"Well good morning sleepy head." Her mother greeted while smiling.

"Uhhhgg what time is it?" Kagome asked running her slender fingers threw her straight hair.

"6:05." Sota replied smiling brightly. Kagome walked over to one of the stools next to the island and plopped down.

"How can you two be so awake this early?" Kagome put her head down on the counter.

"Oh don't be a grouch sweetie, enjoy your breakfast." Kagome heard as well as felt her mother set the plate down. Kagome raised her head to see the white plate with blue flower trim. To say that it smelt good was an understatement. Kagome dug into her waffles as did her brother; it was nice to be able to eat and not have to worry about loosing it in small amount of time.

After breakfast they chatted while cleaning up. When almost an hour had passed and it was three minutes after 7 Kemi offered to drive them to school. Kemi dropped them off after a quick hug and a kiss from each of them. Sota ran over to Shippo and Kohaku leaving Kagome to her thoughts as she walked into the school towards her locker. She sighed as she put her belongings in her locker.

"What wrong?" Kagome jumped and spun around to see Kyochi leaning up against the locker next to hers.

"God, don't do that you scared me." Kagome panted out holding a hand over her heart.

"Sorry about that." Kyochi said rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"'Sok and by the way I'm fine."

"So what was with the sigh?"

"Just thinking." Kagome said and lightly closed her locker door.

"About?" Kyochi asked as they started to walk down the hall without a destination in mind.

"Life." Kagome smiled at him. "Life sucks then you die then life still sucks." Kyochi and Kagome laughed at the line from Dead Like Me.

"True, so did you find a job last night?" Kyochi asked after they had both controlled their laughter.

"Yeah, I'm a personal assistant."

"That's good so what are you doing tonight?" Kagome was just about to answer him when she was interrupted by a rough voice.

"She is busy."

"I think she can answer for her self, Inuyasha." Kyochi said warmly but with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry Kyochi but he is right I am busy I have to work tonight, it'll be my first day." Kyochi nodded and smiled brightly.

"I hope you have fun. I'll see you later I have to go to my locker." Kagome gave Kyochi a small brief hug and he ran off waving.

"What was that all about?" Inuyasha growled.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked innocently.

"Why are you always with him every time I turn around?" Inuyasha asked as they turned and started walking in the opposite direction towards Mr. Brenton's classroom for first hour.

"Because he is a friend of mine just like you are." She gave him a half smile and tapped his nose twice with her finger and quickly ran down the hall to their classroom with Inuyasha at her heals. Both Inuyasha and Kagome knew that he could have easily caught her if he wanted to because of his demon blood but it was more fun to play around. "Oh come on give up you'll never catch me." Kagome called over her shoulder. When she looked forward she yelped because she right into a hard chest and fell on her butt. She rubbed it and looked up to see crimson eyes starring down at her. She gasped and scrambled away thinking it was Naraku.

"Are you ok?" The person asked. "I'm sorry if I hurt you." Kagome let out a breath of relief as she realized that this person was not Naraku.

"Yeah I'm fine." Inuyasha was at her side and helped her up while glaring at the other guy. "Sorry for running into you."

"Its fine, but I think the rules about running in the halls are there for a reason." The guy smiled at them and for some reason Kagome felt her skin crawl. This guy was just too much like Naraku. Inuyasha was slightly worried about Kagome because when she had looked up at this guy he could smell her fear and now he could smell her uneasiness.

"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked rather rudely.

"Oh sorry, I'm Mr. Turner. I'm Mr. Brenton's replacement; he broke his leg and arm over the weekend." He was starring intently at Kagome.

"Wow, how did he manage that?" Kagome asked moving closer to Inuyasha not liking the look he was giving her.

"I have no idea. Well we should all get to class." Mr. Turner said winking at Kagome. Inuyasha growled lowly in the back of his through as if to warn this man about coming near his Kagome.

"We are both in your class." Kagome said with fake cheerfulness.

"Well that's wonderful." Mr. Turner said also with fake cheerfulness. The three of them walked the rest of the way to the classroom in silence. Mr. Turner sent glances at Kagome out of the corner of his eye every so often. Inuyasha noticed this and wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her close to him. Kagome gave him a questioning look and he just smiled at her brightly. They walked into the classroom to see Miroku, Sango, and a couple of other students all ready in there. Inuyasha and Kagome walked to the back and took their seats and began talking. Inuyasha wasn't paying much attention to the conversation instead he was secretly watching Mr. Turner who in turn was watching Kagome.

About a half hour later there was a knock at the classroom door and Sesshomaru appeared. Kagome gasped lightly and Inuyasha glared at him. Sesshomaru walked over to Mr. Turner's and talked lightly to him for a minute before striating up and looking directly at Kagome. Molten gold melt vicious semi-dull green.

"Come on." Sesshomaru's smooth reached her ears as the other girls in the classroom sent her heated glares. Kagome nodded and stood up. "Get your backpack." Kagome paused but grabbed it anyway. As Kagome was leaving the classroom with Sesshomaru Mr. Turner winked at her, unfortunately not only did Sesshomaru and Inuyasha see it but the rest of the class did.

"Why did you take me out of class?"

"I told your substitute that I needed you and I do." Kagome gave him a confused look and he continued. "Now that you are my personal assistant I may need you to assist me at times during the day."

"Oh...won't it interfere with my classes?"

"No, that is why I will talk to your teacher before I take you out of class." He opened his empty classroom door for her. It was empty because it was his free period. "I have already talked to your other teachers and as long as you do your homework they said they wouldn't mind; and that I could take you any time I need you." Kagome nodded her head in understanding.

"So what is it you need me for?"

"First I figured we would discus how you are to do your job and what is important and what is not. How does that sound?" He asked; his voice was warmer then usual.

"Ok I guess." Kagome sat down in the desk in front of his. Sesshomaru disappeared into his office and came back out a few seconds later with a small silver devise.

"This is your new P.D.A.: personal digital assistant; you will need it to record down all of my meetings and anything else that will be important. It is yours I do not care what else you put on it as long as you record what I tell you to." Kagome took the small silver device and looked at its colorful screen before putting it in her backpack.

They talked until the end of the period and she went to her second hour. When it was over she went with Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku out to lunch to a nearby café. They were sitting there chatting lightly and eating when Kikyo walked in.

"Inu-baby." She screeched. Kagome and the others groaned.

"How can you stand her voice?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha glared at him.

"There is more to her then her voice."

"Yeah like diseases." Sango whispered loudly. Kagome had to hold her mouth so she wouldn't burst with laughter.

"Hi Inu-baby." Kikyo sat down in his lap and glared at Kagome as if saying: 'This is mine and you can't touch nener nener nener nener.'

"What?" Kagome asked looking at Kikyo with fake innocence.

"Oh nothing I'm just enjoying sitting in 'my' Inu-baby's lap."

"That's nice." Kagome gave a fake smile causing Kikyo to frown. "Oh Kikyo, sweetie, don't frown you'll get wrinkles." Kikyo instantly smiled.

"Sooo..." Sango drawled.

"Did you guys get presents for Rin yet?" Kagome asked.

"Why are you guys buying Rin presents?" Kikyo asked wiggling slightly on Inuyasha's lap.

"It's her birthday on Saturday." Miroku said slowly not sure if it was a good idea.

"Oh? Inu-baby why didn't you tell me?"

"Well...Rin doesn't really like you." Inuyasha said carefully trying not to set off his girlfriend.

"But she is always so nice to me when I'm around."

"What can he say? I raised my daughter to respect everyone even if the other person does act like a 20 cent whore." The others gasped and looked around to see Sesshomaru holding a to-go vanilla espresso.

"How dare you." Kikyo screeched. "I am not a whore I can score with anyone I want."

"Hey!" Inuyasha shouted and pushed her off of his lap. Kikyo stood up and straightened her unbelievably short skirt.

"What Inu-baby? It's true I can."

"You slut." Kagome growled.

"I'm just surprised you never noticed until now." Inuyasha felt his heart drop at Kikyo's words.

"Whatever Kikyo, you are the one who is so fucking stupid you never noticed that Inuyasha actually loved you." Kagome growled out standing up. "You had true love and you gave it up for what? A quick fuck? And by the way you couldn't even score a monkey if you were a bag of bananas." Kikyo went to smack Kagome but like before Sesshomaru caught her wrist. "Well that was a nice move dumb-ass." Kagome laughed. Sesshomaru let go of her wrist as Kikyo ran out of the café humiliated. Inuyasha looked at everyone with a hurt look.

"Did all of you guys know she was cheating on me?" Kagome lightly touched his arm.

"Sorry Inu but it was kinda hard to miss, and I've only been back for a few days." Inuyasha looked as if he was about to cry.

"It is your own fault for being with someone easy." Sesshomaru said coldly before he walked out of the café. Kagome hugged Inuyasha and ran her fingers threw his hair soothingly.

"Its ok sweetie, you're better off with out her." Inuyasha tightened his hold on Kagome and buried his face in her hair, inhaling her calming sent of vanilla and pink roses. After a few minutes Kagome pulled away. "We should go back to school." The others nodded and they walked back towards the school, the cold October wind biting their noses and cheeks turning them a light pink. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her close to his warm body. Kagome smiled up at him and he returned her smile ten-fold.

The reached the school with a few minutes to spare. They went to class where Inuyasha held Kagome close to him the entire time which worked because they had been paired off in groups of four because they were working on a history project. They found a tragic love story of a woman caught between two brothers during the civil war.

"Ok, so I was thinking we could make it like a movie and then show the class the finished product. Is that ok?" Kagome asked their teacher.

"Actually I think that is a wonderful idea Kagome." Evangeline said with a bright smile.

"Great." Kagome said clapping her hands. The rest of the period was spent with them talking about who would be who and how to tell the story line. They went to Sesshomaru's classroom afterwards. About half way into the class Sesshomaru told them about a writing assignment they had to write. It had to be four pages, handwritten, and it was due the next day.

"If there is any problem with having it turned in by tomorrow please talk to me after class." They were given the remainder of the period to start on it. When there was only 5 minutes left of class Kagome got a text. She thought nothing of it and opened. The classroom instantly filled with the smell of fear. Every demon in the room turned to her curious as to what was wrong. Sesshomaru looked up from his desk to see a rigid Kagome. Inuyasha tried to read the text but he wasn't able to with out making it obvious. "Mrs. Higurashi?" Kagome snapped her fearful greens up to Sesshomaru's golden hues.

"Y-yes?"

"I need to talk to you after class." As soon as he said that the bell rang. Kagome flinched at the offending sound and everyone else in the class got up and left.

"I'll tell Sota where you are." Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear while hugging her. Kagome walked up to Sesshomaru's desk.

"You wanted to talk?"

"What was in the text?"

"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked trying to be innocent.

"You know exactly what I am talking about. I saw your phone. Half the class could smell your fear, and I can smell that you're lying to me right now." Kagome looked away not being able to look at him any longer.

"Does it matter?" Kagome asked. Before Sesshomaru could reply there was a light nock at his door before it opened to revile a sheepish looking Kyochi.

"Sorry am I interrupting something?" Kyochi asked looking at both of them. Kagome shook her head and Sesshomaru said:

"No your not we are just talking, is there something you need Kyochi?" Kyochi stepped inside the door and let it close.

"Yeah you said to come after school if there would be a problem with having your assignment done by tomorrow..." Kyochi trailed off blushing because Kagome was there.

"And?" Sesshomaru asked his voice smooth and cold as always.

"Hospital." Was Kyochi's one word. Sesshomaru nodded.

"Ah, I didn't realize that it had already been a month."

"A month and four days actually." Kyochi had a serious look on his face as he talked to Sesshomaru.

"All right, so how about next Wednesday how does that sound?"

"Fine, I might have it done before then; if I do I'll have my mom turn it in for me." Sesshomaru nodded. Kagome just looked confused beyond belief. Kyochi looked at her and smiled. "Well I guess I should go." Kagome gave him a smile and he smiled back. Kagome gave him a hug before he walked over to the door. "See you in a few days." Before Kagome could question his words he disappeared out the door. Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and asked:

"What did he mean by: 'a few days' and 'hospital'?"

"You would have to ask him I can't tell you."

"Ok." Kagome chirped, happy that he hadn't said anything about the text.

"So are you going to tell me about the text?" She had thought too soon.

"No." Kagome crossed her arms and pouted. Sesshomaru was about to say something when he was yet again interrupted by a knock at the door. Sesshomaru growled lightly as Sota walked in.

"Oh I know that stance. What do you want Kagome?" Sota asked smiling brightly as always.

"It's not what I do want; it's what I don't want to do." Kagome looked into hypnotizing blue hues which shined with understanding. "Anyway...Sesshomaru?"

"Hn?"

"Are we going to go to work?" He nodded his head and stood up.

Over the next few hours Sesshomaru taught Kagome how he liked everything. He was taking them home when he decided to ask about her text again.

"So you gonna tell me now?" Sesshomaru asked his voice soft but cold.

"No! God, are you going to bother me about this forever?" She asked frustrated.

"At least until you tell me." Kagome was about to say something when Sesshomaru's phone started to ring. "Yes Rin?" Sesshomaru asked answering his phone.

"Hi Daddy!" She chirped, Kagome and Sota could clearly hear the little girls voice chime threw the phone

"I'm driving Rin what do you want?" His voice was soft and warm as he spoke to his adopted daughter.

"Are you going to come and pick me up?"

"I thought I had Jaken pick you up from your dance lessons." Sesshomaru said making a mental note to hurt the toad demon.

"He did but you said last night that you would take me out to dinner for getting good grades."

"I did?" Sesshomaru asked amusement clear in his voice. "I don't remember such a thing." He said jokingly, because both Rin and Sesshomaru knew exactly what she was talking about.

"Daddy!" Rin wined. "You're such a purple cow!" Kagome giggled and Sota laughed at what the little girl had just called the powerful demon sitting next to Kagome.

"Yes I know, I will be there in a second. I have Sota and Kagome with me so we will have to drop them off first."

"Ok Daddy but hurry up before the door eats Uncle Inu. He is fighting with it."

"Ok, bye Rin."

"Bye Daddy I love you."

"Love you too sweetie." Sesshomaru hung up and looked at Kagome. "Don't even say it."

"Oh but I think its so cute Sessy, I didn't think you were capable of love." Sesshomaru glared at her.

"Well I loved you didn't I?" Kagome let out an over dramatic gasp.

"And you don't love me now? How rude...well I still love you Sessy." Sesshomaru growled lightly at the name.

"What did I say about calling me that infernal name?"

"But I think it's cute and I bet Rin would too."

"I forbid you from saying that in front of her." He stopped the car in front of his father's house.

"You can't forbid me." She tapped his nose and he caught her finger growling.

"Kagome." He said warningly. "You are getting on my last nerve, you are not to say that name in front of my daughter." His voice was warm but serious. "In fact I don't want you saying it at all." He gave her finger a light squeeze so she would know he was serious. "Do you understand?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Good." He let go of her finger and opened his car door. "I might be here for a few minutes so I suggest you both come with me unless you want to wait here, I do not know how long I will be." His voice was back to its usual coldness. They walked up the stairs side by side when they were almost there Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and smiled. Sesshomaru was slightly taken aback by her action but was even more shocked when she put her hands on her shoulder and forced him to lean forward and she stood on her tippy toes and kissed his nose then said:

"I love you Sessy." Before he could stop her she ran up the remaining stairs and inside his father's mansion. Sesshomaru heard a sigh from the step below his.

"She is so weird sometimes." Sesshomaru agreed with Sota and they both walked up the remaining stairs to the mansion.

Kagome was currently running up the stairs inside the house to Inuyasha's room. When she reached it she was out of breath. She walked inside his open door and into the large room to see Inuyasha sitting on his blood red bed Indian style writing. He looked up and smiled at her.

"Hey Kagome."

"H-hey." She said breathlessly.

"You ok? You sound like you were running."

"I was running from your brother." She said leaning against the wall so she could steady her heart beat.

"What did you do?" Inuyasha asked now standing and walking towards her.

"I called him Sessy."

"You're a weird child you know that?"

"I'm weird? You're the one who still thinks that doors are going to eat you."

"Hey that's not funny you know how Sesshomaru tortured me and made me think that they were going to eat me because that one door fell on me when I was five and broke my leg."

"You're still weirder then I am. Anyway...where is Rin, we came to pick her up before Sesshomaru takes us home."

"I think she is in the entertainment room with my dad and mom."

"Wanna come with me?" Kagome asked.

"Of course, I want to see how mad Sesshomaru is anyway." Kagome scowled at him and he wrapped an arm around her waist and they began walking down the stairs and towards the entertainment room. When they walked in the room the couldn't help but laugh at the site that greeted them: Touga was sitting on the floor with his arms crossed, a pouting expression that made him look as if he was a four year old boy who didn't get the cookie he wanted, but the reason they were laughing was not because of his expression but because of his beautiful silver hair that looked as if millions of pixies had attacked him.

"Don't you guys just love Rin's handy work; I think she should be a stylist when she grows up." Izayoi said cheerfully only to earn a glare from her mate.

"Y-yes I think he looks simply handsome." Kagome said cheerfully. Touga looked at her with a mock glare not being able to actually glare at her because he was so overjoyed that she seemed to be returning to her old self. Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru who was currently glaring ice daggers at Kagome's back. Inuyasha smiled to him self and pulled Kagome closer to him and kissed her cheek before pushing her into Sesshomaru. Kagome squeaked as she collided with the demon who was caught off guard and they both tumbled to the floor Kagome on top of Sesshomaru. Then one of the worst things that could have happened did...their lips collided when their bodies hit the ground.

Kagome's eyes widened in shock as did Sesshomaru's but unlike Sesshomaru's golden hues her green ones filled with shining tears. The smell of salt assaulted all three of the demon noses in the room. Kagome scrambled away from Sesshomaru who blinked in shock and sat up just in time to see a single tear run down her cheek before she bolted to the door and down the hall. In an instant Sesshomaru went after her. Inuyasha looked at the others who looked just as confused as he felt.

"What was that all about?" Inuyasha asked.

"That was her first kiss." Sota said. The others looked at Sota to see his almost transparent blue hues staring of into space.

"Uh-oh spaghetti-O's." They heard Rin's voice say causing them to smile.

Meanwhile Kagome had already run threw the kitchen, dinning room, game room, and she had just run out the doors and into the garden. Sesshomaru was fallowing her sent which was proving difficult because she had stopped over by the orchids and roses that Izayoi planted. Sesshomaru walked threw the maze like garden until he saw Kagome sitting by a bunch of orchids. She was smelling them with small tears running down her pail, porcelain like cheeks and off her chin into the dieing from frost flowers, watering them with droplets of salty water.

Sesshomaru walked over to her and picked a particularly beautiful one that hadn't been harmed by last nights frost, if Kagome had noticed him she didn't acknowledge that she had. He sat next to her and placed the flower behind her ear and in her hair. Kagome gasped and jumped back and would have fallen on to the flowers but he caught her wrist before she could make contact. She looked up at him and her eyes over flowed with tears. They spilled out and down her cheeks following the wet trails already there, like small see threw droplets of her soul.

"Please don't." She whimpered, but he ignored her pleas and pulled her forward in a swift movement and pulled her against his chest cradling her small vulnerable form in his large muscular one.

"Shh...it's ok Kagome." He smoothed her onyx locks in a calming manner. She gripped his shirt in her small fist and let her tears pour out soaking his nice shirt once again. After a few minutes she pulled back sniffling but she looked down not wanting him to see her cry. He put a finger under her chin and softly -so as not to hurt her with his claw- lifted her chin so her pained green hues looked into his warm sun-kissed ones. "What's wrong Kags?" He moved his finger and gently wiped away her tears.

"Th-that was [hiccup] my first [sniffle] kiss."

"Are you serious?" He asked shock clearly written across his features for he had let his cold façade drop.

"Y-yes wh-[hic]-why would I lie about th-that?"

"Kagome." He sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it you have grown up a lot." He gave her a warm smile and she gave him a meek one back. "You are beautiful and I shouldn't say that because not only am I your teacher but now I'm your boss. But it's true; you have become a gorges young woman that I never would have dreamed." Kagome searched his eyes for any sign of a lie but she couldn't find any.

"I'm sorry I-I didn't mean to run out li-[sniffle] like that but I couldn't help it." Her tears had slowly come to a stop.

"I understand." He said softly. He rested his forehead against hers and rubbed his nose against her small one. She smiled brightly at him and went to pull back but something went wrong and she crashed her lips to his. Both of their eyes went wide then Kagome's closed when Sesshomaru kissed her back. Kagome felt the flames of passion from the kiss lick at her heart. Sesshomaru lost all logic as he lightly pressed forward on her shoulders until she was lying on the stiff grass which like most of the flowers was lightly frozen with a layer of frost.

Sesshomaru was now hovering over her as they shared a simple but passion filled kiss. Kagome ran her hands over his cloth covered arms. Sesshomaru's right hand slowly inched up to the rim of her shirt, his left hand bracing him so he didn't put any of his weight on her. When his fingers danced across her flat stomach they ignited a raging fine inside Kagome causing the flames around her heart to engulf the organ that was the symbol of almost everything in this modern day world. Tiny flames licked at the skin his fingers brushed against. Sesshomaru finally pulled back when the need for oxygen over rode the passion.

Kagome gasped and looked up at him her eyes lightly clouded over with passion as she lightly ran her finger over her kiss swollen lips. She smiled and whispered breathlessly:

"Wow." Sesshomaru quickly got off of her and pulled her to her feet.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that." He said refusing to look even in her general direction.

"Sesshomaru?" She whispered desperate for him to look at her.

"We should go back inside I'm sure the others are wondering where we are." When he started to walk towards the mansion she ran in front of him, he looked to the side.

"Why won't you look at me? Did I do something wrong?" She tried to sound tough but her voice betrayed her. "It seemed like you were enjoying it to." Her voice raised as did her anger and self hate. "What did I do? Look at me damn it!" She shouted tears welling in her eyes again. Was she so tainted that even her child hood friend wouldn't touch her in fear of it rubbing off on him? "Sesshomaru, I said look at me!" Her voice broke as tears fell down her cheeks again. When Sesshomaru lifted his eyes and looked at her she gasped softly. She saw pain, fear, and sadness. "Sesshomaru?" She whispered.

"I'm sorry Kagome I shouldn't have kissed you." She interrupted him before he could go on.

"But I kissed you."

"I shouldn't have kissed you back. I can't...we can't...I'm sorry." He reached forward to wipe away her tears but she flinched away as if he had slapped her.

"Don't." She whispered. He nodded in understanding. They walked back inside thinking about what had just happened. Kagome was trying to figure out her feelings towards Sesshomaru. What did she really feel for him? Did she really feel anything at all? Or was it just teenage hormones mixed with her feelings of friendship that she held for him?

Sesshomaru was thinking along the same lines as she was but in stead of teenage hormones it was one of the seven deadly sins: lust. Sesshomaru mentally groaned as he thought about how long it had been since he had been laid. Not for at least a year because his last girlfriend seemed like she was perfect but it turned out she was secretly poisoning Rin by slipping pine-sole, the cleaning liquid, in her drinks and soup. Rin would have died if Sesshomaru hadn't smelt the lemony freshness of the pine-sole on the soup; the doctors couldn't even figure it out. It had scared Sesshomaru to death because he had let someone get close to him and the result was he almost lost his baby.

Both of their musings were brought to an abrupt halt as they walked into the entertainment room.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." Inuyasha said instantly going to her side and hugging her. Inuyasha mentally cringed as he smelt not only her arousal but his brothers as well.

"Its ok Inuyasha, I over reacted. I apologize for acting the way I did." Touga waved it off saying:

"Its fine dear we understand no need to apologize." Kagome gave them a relived smile.

"We should go." Sesshomaru's cold voice said bringing forth a shiver from Kagome as she remembered what she had just done with him. They exchanged hugs and goodbyes and Sesshomaru led the other three out the front door and down the steps to his Viper. Kagome offered the front seat to Rin but she declined saying:

"No thank you, Kagome is older then Rin so Kagome should get it." Kagome smiled and ruffled the little girl's hair before she skipped ahead of her to talk to Sota.

"You raised her well." Kagome said to Sesshomaru after they had gotten in the car and started to drive. Rin was in the back seat telling Sota about her day.

"Thank you. She is rather intelligent too; she never ceases to amaze me." Kagome glanced at Rin and her brother to see that they were still talking.

"Uh...Sesshomaru about earlier." He cut her off before she could continue.

"Lets not talk about it." He paused and looked at her out of the corner of his eye before he continued. "Ever again." Sesshomaru was over whelmed with the strong smell of sadness. He looked at her to see her eyes clouded over and he could tell she was holding her tears back.

"I'm sorry." She whispered. He looked back at the road briefly then looked into her eyes.

"No, it's not your fault Kagome." He said softly. "You did nothing wrong, it's just we can't. Ok?" Kagome nodded her head and forced her tears down and placed a small smile on her face.

"Hey Kagome?" Rin asked cheerfully.

"Yes Rin?" Kagome asked turning in her seat to face Rin.

"Sota and I were talking and in your opinion what would be the perfect guy?" Kagome sputtered and blushed. Sesshomaru smirked seeing the blush on Kagome's face.

"Well, I...uh...well, every girl wants a man that she can go to in her sweats, hair a mess, make-up running down her face, eyes red from crying, and the first thing he says to you is: 'Baby your beautiful' and means it."

"Oh that is so wonderful Kagome!" Rin said excitedly. Kagome smiled at the small girl.

"We are here." Sesshomaru's cold voice said. Kagome looked forward to see that they had in fact arrived at their house. Kagome and Sota grabbed their things and after receiving hugs from Rin got out of the car. "I will see you tomorrow in class and also if you need you can have until Saturday to finish that assignment."

"Ok, thank you. Bye Rin I'll most likely see you on Saturday." Rin nodded excitedly from the front seat. Kagome and Sota walked up the stairs to their mansion and disappeared behind the door. Before Kagome closed the door her eyes locked with Sesshomaru's and she thought: 'Please hold me tight I don't care if I breathe tonight it's a melody a memory.'
