Sesshomaru took Kagomes hand and they made there way there the endless crowd of people in the hallways and living room. As they we're entering the patio Sesshomaru heard a familiar voice, it was one of his friends he came here with. "Hey Sesshomaru, there you are, I've been looking all over for you!" His friend proclaimed. Sesshomaru frowned," Sure you have, you guys left me on that hill hours ago, luckily someone has been keeping me attention." He said and looked at Kagome. She blushed and smiled sweetly. "Yeah, so I can tell, nice show by the way Kagome." The friend said.
I know you?" Kagome asked.
apologies Kagome, this is my friend Senshu, he is the culprit for my un-doing tonight." Sesshomaru courtiously offered.
to meet you Senshu". Kagome said.
I've seen you at school before, I thought you were dating Inuyasha, you know Sesshomaru's brother?" He asked.
was...", Kagome began to say but was cut off by Sesshomaru. "She was but she isn't now, and since she was here she saw me and decided to come over say hello, she noticed what you guys gave me and since she's more experienced in these affairs than I am she's been helping me through it." He assisted. Sesshomaru's friend nodded, "Well that's cool man, I just wanted to let you know that well....if you don't mind I'm gonna leave with a lady friend of mine, so you don't have to take me home okay?"
fine, I couldn't drive right now if I wanted to". Sesshomaru said. His friend shook his hand and said to Kagome," Well it was nice meeting you Kagome and great show! You two have fun". And with that he was off, with his arm around some girls waist grinning in appetite over what was probably to come.
he's going to have some fun", Kagome added. "I guess, he always does that, he's not to gentlemanly when it comes to women." Sessshomaru said.
can say one thing, it certainly doesn't rub off on you." Kagome said smiling.
on let's go, back to that hill."Sesshomaru said taking her hand again and leading the way to the hill. They reached the top of the hill, they sat in the soft grass and Kagome leaned against Sesshomaru affectionately.
How long have Inuyasha and you been broken up?" Sesshomaru asked.
a couple months, I guess you wouldn't know considering you don't live at home anymore. I caught him with Kikyou a couple times, and well, it was obvious who he really wanted, so I left him to her, I broke up with him, he was angry, but only because he couldn't have his cake and eat it too." Kagome answered solemnly. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to sadden you." Sesshomaru offered. He heard the pain in her voice. "Oh no, Sess, it's not that, you could never sadden me. It's more just the fact that he chose her and not me, I was always so kind to him, I guess I just wasn't edgy enough for him, he wanted someone who would do this (ecstacy) with him all the time. and I'm not interested in partying all the time. I just like to chill and relax." Kagome paused than laughed nervously, "Heh, I'm..probably boring you with my sob story of no-body-wants-me".
Inuyasha is a fool to let someone as precious as you to slip through his fingers, I would never let you go if I was with you." Sesshomaru said, he hadn't realized how it came out until he watched Kagome's eyes gloss over and tear up.
thank you Sess, I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me." She said with puffy eyes. Sesshomaru pulled her face towards his and kissed her cheek innocently, "Your welcome, I was only speaking the truth." He added.
long comfortable silence once again hung over them as they watched the stars twinkle in the sky and the moon was hanging slightly over them. Kagome shivered and Sesshomaru took the sweater he had been holding almost the entire nite and draped it over her shoulders and slipped his arm around her rubbing her arm to warm her up. It was a kind intimate gesture that made her shiver all the more, but it was a good shiver.
did you come with Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome looked up, than her eyes grew wide. " Oh my gosh! I totally forgot, Sesshomaru what time is it?! She asked hurriedly.
am, why?" He asked. " Oh no! I came here with Sango and Miroku, but they we're leaving at 1 am to go to another get-together. Oh I hope there still here!" She explained worried. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and began to dial Sango's number.
Sango? Yeah, I'm still here....no....with Sesshomaru, no that wasn't Inu...no...yeah...where are you...how am I supposed to get home?! She talked into the phone frantically and full of panic.
gently took the phone from her, "Hello Sango?, this is Sesshomaru, yes...I will take care of transportation for Kagome, don't worry okay?" He spoke with Sango and she agreed to it, "Yes, I will tell her..okay...good evening to you." He hung up the phone.
looked up at him in shock and began to speak,"Sesshomaru you didn't have to do that yah know?" she said irritated.
please I will get us a Taxi and get us to our respective homes ok?" he said reassuring her.
I guess, well what did she say?" Kagome asked. "She told me to take care of you or else, and that she was sorry for leaving you, she just thought that you were with.."
yes I know, I think she's crazy and she was definitly under the influence to be thinking that." She said.
both laughed and rose from there former sitting positions. And walked back down the hill.
had went by since Kagome and Sesshomaru had peaked and they both were getting tired and Sesshomaru wasn't feeling as high as he was before, but he was still happy having Kagome by his side. Kagome looked very tired too. "Sess? I think it's time for us to go, I guess I better figure out how to get home." She said saddened.
took her hand gently and smiled reassuringly. They made there way to the front of the house. Sesshomaru asked his other friend, (whom had not taken any drugs, to busy flirting with the women to bother, and only drinking occasionally, he had sobered up by the time sesshomaru had found him), to take his car since he had passed out earlier and was safe to drive them all home.
and Sesshomaru had fallen asleep leaning against eachother in the car. His friend woke Sesshomaru and told him he would walk to his apartment considering it was not too far from Sesshomaru's. That was when Sesshomaru realized that he was home at his apartment. He freaked for a moment, Kagome stirred and woke up. "Kagome?" I am so sorry but we fell asleep and so my friend drove us to my apartment, if you can only stay for ahwile, I will sober up to drive and take you home, this is not purposely, I would never pull a stunt like this..." Sesshomaru was nervous and afraid she might think it planned.
I trust you, I know this is not something you planned. Let's just go inside it's chilly this morning." She said as she shivered slightly.
you Kagome, thank you for...trusting me. I will take care of you I promise." Sesshomaru offered.
got out of the car and walked up the stairs towards his home.
fumbled for his keys to his apartment and opened the door. Revealing large windows with beautiful drapes hanging on them, the flat was very modern in decor with a twist of asian influence. Mostly black and browns, very earthy tones seperated the wall colors from one another. He flicked on a few lights and clicked the remote control to find some music to listen to. "Please if there is anything you would like to listen to, play it, my entire collection is against that wall". He offered politely. He seemed more relaxed and at ease in his home. Moving around uncaustiously. Kagome jumped at the sound of his voice as it was tearing her for her thoughts, she was amazed at how clean and put together his home was, this was no normal bachelors house, this was the home of Sesshomaru. She loved it, it smelled of frankensensce and mirr, it was inviting and forgiving of any uncleanliness. She looked around in wonderment and made her way towards the CD collection on the wall. She found some Thievery Corporation which she felt was perfect for the moment, something chill and less ecssesive as trance and house, she was surprised to find such eclectic music in his collection but she found most if it to be very relaxing and very chill in vibe. She placed the CD in the player and pressed play. The music poured from the speakers that we're nestled in secret places all over the living room, low and melodic.
choice Kagome", he said as he reached in the cupboards for some glasses.
she thought, all this time and she hadn't realized how indearing he had used her name. She loved it, it felt like music to her ears, she wanted to hear him say her name again and again.
he was next to her and had a glass in front of her with some white pills in hand. "My friends told me you should drink a glass of water and some aspirin before you sleep". He offered her the items and she took them considerately.
I will show you to my room, you can sleep there until I sober up and I will sleep on the couch, than I'll take you to your apartment", Sesshomaru opened his bedroom door, flicked the switch, there in the middle resided a very large king size bed, grey sheets and white crisp clean pillows, the bed had already been slept in as it was not made from the night before. Two dark cherry oak night stands enclosed the bed, each one containing chinese paper lanterns. Sesshomaru moved around her to the side of the bed and was begining to take the sheets and pillow cases off the bed to replace them with new ones.
You can leave those on if you like?" Kagome said slightly blushing from her confession.
you sure, don't you want clean ones, that don't smell like me?" he asked. Confused and interested.
I like your smell...I would love you to keep them on", Kagome blushed a more brighter pink.
shrugged and left them on, he ascended to the bed and began to take a pillow from the bed but Kagome stopped him. " I wouldn't mind if you too...stayed with the sheets..and pilllow cases, just in case the smell...goes away." Kagome said it innocently but Sesshomaru knew and he quickly drew her into his embrace and kissed her softly. "I want to sleep with you tonight, I want to be in your embrace" she poured out, revealing the hidden truth behind her naive hints.
do I Kagome...just sleep." He added.
slipped her sweater off her shoulders and took her shoes and socks off. "Kagome would you like to take a shower first?" Sesshomaru asked. " I have a robe you can wear and I will wash your clothes and dry them". He added to make her feel comfortable in doing this.
that sounds really great." She jumped at the thought of getting out of her sweaty clothes and into the hot shower. He gave her the robe and she walked into the bathroom. Sesshomaru followed behind her and gently nudged her aside to turn on the hot water and get her a towel and he gave her a bar of soap from the cabinet. She was amazed at how clean the bathroom was and how nice and neat everything was. The room began to steam and Sesshomaru began to close the door but not before saying something," Now, don't take all the hot water okay?" He smiled chuckling slightly, and closed the door.
smiled and shed her clothes off and jumped into the shower. It felt good to feel the hot water beat into her skin, she felt refreshed and clean. She washed her face with jasmine soap he had handed her earlier and washed her long black hair. The stench of sweat and dust was removed and she turned the shower off and dried off, she wrapped her hair in the towel and placed the robe on, it was white, made of a fine terry cloth material. It was much larger than her but she loved the way it felt. She was sure it was Sesshomaru's personal robe and she clung to it a little tighter. She was thinking about Sesshomaru and wondered if being here in his home was a good idea, but than she didn't care, it was her life and she was going to enjoy it. She exited the bathroom and Sesshomaru took her clothes from her and placed them in the washer. "Sess, could you hang out my top to dry so it doesn't shrink on me please?" Kagome asked sweetly.
he smiled. "Now my turn, I'll be back ok, make yourself at home" He said walking off into the bathroom brining an extra set of clothes inside with him.
grabbed the glass from the living room and drank more water. She peered into the kitchen, it was so neatly kept up, she couldn't believe a guy actually lived here. Although Inuyasha was the same, they both had very sensitive noses and could not stand dirty smells and such. Kagome began to wonder what it would be like to live here with him. She thought about cooking with him and watching TV together. Sango and her had thought about getting a together place soon but Miroku and Sango we're getting so close as of late she was sure they would soon move in together. She frowned at this thought and sat upon the comfy black couch in the living room. She listened as the shower stopped and Sesshomaru opened the bathroom door. His long silver hair was rung out but water beads glistened and fell down certain strands as he walked making it look like diamonds we're falling from his hair. He was so beautiful but very masculine. Kagome never found him so attractive before, everyone thought Sesshomaru was hot but not like this. She stared at the fine cotton shirt that hugged his body and revealed his muscular chest and black slacks he wore as he turned to face her Kagome thought," Well he sure is arousing".
bet you feel alot better don't you?" Kagome asked. "Oh yes, much better, I don't think I have had a more enjoyable shower, it makes it very sensitive, I could have stayed in the shower for hours." Sesshomaru explained half laughing.
know, it's great huh?" Kagome agreed.
ready for bed?" He asked softly. She knodded and they made there way to the bedroom. She laughed and gave a faint sigh. Sesshomaru slid into bed easily cradeling her as he gently fell next to her.
wrapped her up in his arms and held her tight to his body, she looked at him with sleepy eyes and yawned, almost immediately after that she fell asleep. He looked down at the sleeping angel and watched as her breathing slowed. He couldn't understand how his foolish brother could let someone like Kagome go, she was so pure, Sweet, desireable, and honest. He wanted to make this work, he knew it would be hard and he knew that Inuyasha would not like it at all, but he didn't care, he would deal with it when it came to that, but for right now...nothing else mattered.
sun was rising slowly but his dark drapes kept from revealing too much. He knew it was early in the morning. Sesshomaru yawned and snuggled deeper into his feather down pillows and fell asleep with the sweet scent of sakura blossoms and cherries in his nostrils, the scent of Kagome.
Well what do you think so far? I really like Sesshomaru, the little hottie, I think it would be nice to see him capable of love. More to come...
