CHAPTER 6
Confessions
"You really have to stop this," Sango whispered, Miroku had pulled her into a room when she walked passed.
"Stop what my love," he pressed her against the wall, she could feel the heat coming from his body.
"I am not your love, for one" Sango gulped audibly when Miroku pressed his forehead against hers, "Oh? And how do you know who my love is, sweet Sango," he breathed into her ear.
"You are a letch, you don't love one woman, you love women," she tried to push him away,
"I like feminine beauty, but I love you," he breathed into her neck, taking in her scent.
"I told you a thousand times... No," she still tried pushing him away.
"Oh Sango. My sweet Sango, why ever do you say no to me," Miroku's voice was growing husk.
"Because," she gasped softly, his one hand moved to her ass, pressing her against his need.
"Please stop teasing me. It's not fair," she swallowed, trying not to give in.
"Love isn't fair," Miroku murmured.
He brushed his lips against hers softly. Involuntarily, her mouth followed his as he moved away. The hand on the wall moved to her neck, tracing soft shapes behind her ear. This made her gasp.
"Please, Miroku," she didn't want these feelings. She was scared of getting hurt.
"Sango," he spoke against her lips, making them tingle
"I'll respect your wishes my sweet Sango. You'll be mine when you're ready," he moved away from her. He looked at her with lust-filled eyes. Sango traced her lips where they met for a moment.
"Goodnight, my sweet," he touched her cheek with the back of his hand and left.
Very confused, Kagome entered the apartment again. I was hallucinating, yeah. I WAS hallucinating she tried to convince herself. No way in the seven hells did Sesshomaru, the cold heartless 'demon lord' – as they called him – came all the way to her house to see how she was doing, and on top of that, he would never flirt with her!
She was wisped back to reality when she heard Sango's whispers coming from a bedroom.
"I told you a thousand times... No,"
Curiosity had Kagome around its little finger.
"Oh Sango. My sweet Sango, why ever do you say no to me," Miroku's voice was growing husk.
"Because," she gasped softly, "Please stop teasing me. It's not fair,"
"Love isn't fair," Miroku murmured.
I am going to be sick, I don't need to hear this Kagome practically ran to the others, she wanted to be around Shippou. Her innocent little Shippou.
After a while, Miroku appeared from the hall. To Kagome he looked somewhat sad.
"OK guys. It's late. We better start going," he smiled,
"Guess you're right," Kouga got up, followed by InuYasha. "Just need the loo" and Kouga disappeared.
"I'll wait outside," said Miroku, "Night, thanks for the pizza,"
Everyone nodded. Kagome took the plates to the kitchen. InuYasha followed.
"I am sorry about earlier," he said as she faced him, raising an eyebrow.
"Really, I got carried away. I still feel for you Kagome," he reached for her face, but she stepped back.
"And how often did you say that to her?" she spat at him,
"Kagome, I, -" he was interrupted by Kouga pulling him by his shirt collar.
"C'mon mutt, oh, goodnight Kagome," he winked and they left.
When Kagome was sure Shippou was in his bed and asleep, she tiptoed to Sango's room. Sango was still sitting wide awake when Kagome inched the door open.
"Come in," she whispered, lifting the covers.
"I can't sleep either," Kagome admitted, shifting into a comfy position.
So much has happened today. She didn't know who else to turn to.
"Miroku-" Sango started at the same time as Kagome started to say "Sesshomaru,"
"What?" they asked in unison.
"You first," Kagome pleaded with her eyes,
"Miroku... He keeps asking me to be his," Sango hid her blushing cheeks beneath her hair.
"I don't know what to do," she felt like crying,
"Do you like him?" NOD "Can you see yourself married to him" NOD "Is it a happy marriage?" NOD-NOD-NOD Kagome giggled. "Then what is the problem?"
"I don't want to get hurt. He is a letch..." her eyes welled up with tears,
"Have you ever seen him cheat, or touch another girl while he has been after you?" Kagome tilted her friends face to look at her.
"N-Not exactly... No, no he hasn't," Sango sniffed,
"So... What the problem?" Kagome smiled, "Just take it easy and see how it goes..."
"OK..." Sango removed the hair from her face, "What was this about Sesshomaru?" she grinned.
"I think I was hallucinating about him," Kagome blushed again,
"No, you didn't," Sango returned the blush,
"Excuse me?" Kagome lightly kicked Sango's leg,
"You cow! You spied on me!" Kagome kicked again.
"Kagura and I went to the bathroom, and she saw you with a man, so yes we did,"
"and you know it is Sesshomaru because?" Kagome felt like a school girl, just caught by her parents,
"The long silver locks hanging down his back?" "OH, right," they giggled.
"Well, my conclusion is," Sango started, "we both take it slow and sees what happens..."
Smiling they made their first pinky-promise in 5 years.
** The next day at the school **
"Really? This early on a Saturday?" Shippou was not impressed.
"It will be fun," Kagome tried, resorting to sweets as a bribe,
"Fine," he said, taking the pack from her, Sango and Kagome laughed.
"You're classroom will look stunning," Sango smiled.
All three of them wore clothing that could be messed up. They pulled into the school grounds, making Shippou practically jump out of his seat.
"This place is NEAT," his eyes darted everywhere.
"And Monday you start here," Kagome flashed him his student card,
He hugged his mother tightly.
Sesshomaru was startled when he heard three voices coming down the hall. He didn't expect anyone to be on the terrain today. Except Rin and himself. Thinking of, where was that girl?
"And here is my class," he heard a familiar voice.
He got up from his chair and peeked out the room. Yes it was. Sango, Kagome and her boy was here. What on earth are they wearing? He frowned.
He snuck out to get a better look. Shippou walked down the hall, not noticing him.
"He said WHAT?" Sango sound surprised, but laughed,
"I'm telling you! It was so strange, yet sexy," she could feel her stomach turn at the memory of his touch on her skin.
"Just be careful when you stand up Kagome. You might slip..." "You bit- Shut up!" laughter roared through the halls. He could hear them chasing each other in the room.
"No. Kagome, don't! Not the pain- AWWW" Sango came running out the room.
"I'm gonna go clean myself before this stuff gets dry. See you now," she waved, heading towards the bathroom.
Hmmm... All alone he thought. He walked closer, stopping in the door.
"Sango, I am sorry I – Oh Sesshomaru," Kagome shot up to her feet. She looked down at her clothing and then at him. Way to go Higurashi she thought, looking at him for some sort of disapproval.
"Interesting outfit," he leaned coolly against the door frame. He was making it obvious that he was checking her out.
"Have you no shame?" she asked, trying to hide from his view behind the big desk,
"No not really. Especially when a young lady starts the flirting," he winked at her, her face glowed bright pink, then red. She turned around, turning her face away from him.
He saw a slight rip in her jeans, revealing her thigh. He swallowed hard.
"I see your pants are slightly revealing," he laughed as she grabbed the tear, so she knew about it.
"What are you doing here?" she looked at him from under her fringe.
"I work here?" he reminded her, walking into the room. She ran to her chair and sat down.
He simply just laughed. He covered the room in a few steps, sitting on the corner of the large desk.
Kagome looked up at him, clearing her throat.
"So... About last night," she started,
"What about last night?" Kagome got lost in his eyes. What was I saying again? Oh yes!
"Did you know that... that InuYasha was... What he was attempting," she regretted her words. Sesshomaru closed his eyes, his fingers slightly digging into the wooden desk.
"Yes," he breathed out slowly,
"Then why did you -" "Because he had no right!" regretting his tone as Kagome winched.
"He had no right to manipulate you like that, it was cruel," he looked ahead,
"So you... care for me then?" Kagome was shocked to see his face snap towards her,
"Look me in my eyes and tell me what you think," what Kagome saw was concern, lust and maybe a hint of... love?
She smiled shyly at the floor, her reaction answering his own question.
"I finally got this shit- Oh! Hello," Sango froze in the door.
Sesshomaru stood up from his seat on the desk. Sango looked passed Sesshomaru at a very red Kagome.
"I will leave you two to work then," he nodded slightly and left.
Sango looked at Kagome, making her blush deeper.
"Hey auntie, I finally found my way back to -" he studied both women,
"What did I miss?"
