Chapter 11: Was she right?

I opened my eyes, squinting at the bright light. Big windows were cute and all; but this sunlight was not it. I pulled the blanket over my face. I blinked until I got the sleep out of my eyes. I sat up realizing that I was the only one in the bed.

"He couldn't have gone to work could he?"

I saw a note sitting on the nightstand. It said to go to the bathroom, and then come down for breakfast. I slipped out of bed and went over to the bathroom. A new towel and toothbrush were laid out. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. Thank God he had an extra toothbrush. I couldn't face him with morning breath. I dried off and wrapped the robe around myself. I went downstairs into the kitchen and saw him cooking. I walked over to him. He bent down to kiss me. It was soft and slow. I quickly turned away from him to go sit down. I had to stop blushing like that. It was so embarrassing. He set the plate in front of me, sliding my phone to me. I noticed a smirk on his lips. When I checked my phone, I could see why forty-plus missed calls from Inuyasha, and God knows how many text messages. I flipped my phone right over and started eating. I wasn't going to let him ruin my good time. Just like last night the food was delicious. I had to resist the urge to lick the fork. He came behind me resting his chin on my shoulder. I liked this Sesshomaru. Professor Sesshomaru was cold and no fun, but this one. I could get used to it. I wondered if I just wanted someone to pay attention to me. Would I be okay even if it wasn't Sesshomaru? I was enjoying myself, but I still had some things to figure out.

"We missed class today."

"I sent out an email. They'll live. The majority of them, are barely passing as it is." he said sitting beside me.

"You know… I remember someone saying that this was inappropriate and that I was your student blah blah blah." I teased.

He chuckled.

"That was a poor front that I knew wouldn't last long. You are very… persuasive. I wanted to wait until you were fully over him."

I looked up at him.

"You think I am?"

"I know he has hurt you, but feelings do not disappear overnight. Despite how much you may enjoy my company. That is why I will not touch you. Not until you are ready."

"I do-"

I was cut off, by my phone ringing. It was Inuyasha. I sighed. The plan going to let it ring, but once I saw that little smirk on Sesshomaru's face I knew he had other problems. He grabbed the phone and answered it, putting it on speaker.

"Yes, Inuyasha."

"Where the fuck is Kagome? Has she been there all night?"

I could hear him yelling from here.

He smiled. "How is that any of your concern?"

"She is my friend you dick. Now tell me where she is!"

"Kagome does wish to speak to you. She had a very long night last night. I think it'd be best not to bother her. She is in bed right now"

His voice was so emotionless but there was a smile on his face. I could tell he was having fun torturing Inuyasha like this. I had to admit that I was enjoying watching him do it. It was the most brotherly I'd seen him act toward his little brother. There was a moment of silence on the phone. No doubt he was trying to process what he'd just heard.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

The way he said it was calm. That meant he was pissed.

I leaned towards the phone. "Don't worry about what Inuyasha means," she said, hanging up.

Sesshomaru grabbed my chair, pulled me closer to him, and kissed me. I slipped my arms around his shoulders. The second I relaxed into the kiss he pulled away.

"Come, I will take you home."

"So soon?"

He ran his fingers through my hair. "Unfortunately yes. I have some things to attend to." he kissed my forehead. " I will see you tomorrow.

Deep down. I didn't want to go home. I want more time here; more time with him.

I had been saved from my walk of shame. I'd taken one of his overcoats. It completely covered me and everything I was wearing. My neighbors didn't need to see me coming home in this dress. I ran up to my door. Before I could even pull out my key. My front door swung open. It was Sango. She dragged me inside, slamming the door shut behind me. She had this sparkle in her eyes and a grin on her lips.

"Tell me everything." She looked down at me. "Is that his coat?"

I smiled shyly.

"Yeah, it is."

"Spill it."

"There isn't much to tell," I said sitting down.

She sat beside me. "Oh, bullshit. I'm your best friend. I know when you're lying."

"Ok, ok. There was some kissing, touching, and rubbing. A little talking, but you know what didn't happen. Even though I wanted to. At one point I was even standing in my underwear."

She wiped a fake tear, with her other hand over her heart.

"My sweet Kagome finally wants to have sex. I can finally die happy but wait. Why didn't he want to go through it?"

"He says he wants to wait until I'm fully over Inuyasha. I'm the one his beast has chosen."

Sango's mouth fell open. "Kagome. That's serious. Is that what you want with him?"

"I have no idea what I want. I do like being around him. He makes me feel wanted, but Idk if that's just because I've been treated like this for so long by Inuyasha. That I'm so starved for attention. Or, do I like him? Is it lust? Sango please say something, help me out please."

"For the first time Kagome I have no idea what to say. I mean, how do you feel about Inuyasha?"

"I still care about him, but I'm so angry with him and I don't want to speak to him."

"Does Sesshomaru know how you feel?

"He says he understands that feelings do not disappear overnight. He says that he will wait for me because I'm worth it. He said and I quote, "I may not have been your first love, but I plan to be your last; everything."

Sango threw her hands up.

"That's it. It's decided. You have to pick him.

no, you have to marry him. If you don't I will." she joked.

I smiled.

"So help me God, Kagome if you go back to chasing after Inuyasha, I just might kill you. No, I actually will."

I shook my head. "That definitely won't happen." I pulled my knees to my chest. "I don't like how Inuyasha makes me feel or treats me. Still, that doesn't mean I'll fall head over heels for Sesshomaru."

She folded her arms and smirked at me.

"Sure," she said sarcastically. "I was right about him being into you and I'm right about this. You're going to fall for him and you can't stop it. You two are meant to be. I'm sure of it. It's a fairytale writing itself babe."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

Was she right?
