The Tour Guide

They arrived in Tokyo at twelve o' clock. Sango and Kagome checked into the hotel and met the dance instructor. "Hello girls," she said.
"Hi," they replied.
"Got everything?" she asked them.
"Yes," they replied.
"We're leaving for the presidents palace to practice in
Fifteen minutes. We're leaving on the white bus. Get changed and I'll see you downstairs."
They hurried off to their rooms and changed. "I can't wait to see they prince's palace!" Sango said excitedly.
"Yeah! And I can't wait to hear all about how beautiful it is!" Kagome replied in mock enthusiasm.
"Oh, don't be a party pooper," Sango said.
"Well, being blind has its downside. You can't see the sights. Can't see beautiful buildings, can't see hot guys."
"Hey, not being able to see guys is a good thing sometimes."
They both laughed as they walked down to the bus. Once the driver saw Sango he immediately started flirting. "Hello, mi lady," he said. Sango giggle but something on the roof of the bus caught her attention. Kagome heard something and looked up. "Hello ladies," he said greeting the dancers on the ground. "I'm your tour guide, Sesshomaru," he said and jumped off the bus. He turned around and looked at Kagome.
"Helllloooo?" he asked waving his hand in front of Kagome's face. "What? Are you blind?"
Most people would think it would hurt a blind person if you asked them that. But it really didn't; Kagome was taken aback by the smugness in his voice. He's probably so full of himself, Kagome thought.
"Yeah, I am. Are you blind too that you can't tell?" she replied using the same smug voice as Sesshomaru.
She brushed past him as she walked into the bus. "You really told him off," Sango told Kagome as they sat down.
Sesshomaru sat across from Sango and Kagome. "Beautiful," he whispered to himself. Kagome tucked her long black hair behind her ear; she always did that when she thought she heard something.
"Beautiful," he whispered again, a little louder this time.
"Did you say something?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru liked this girl. She had confidence in herself, she was pretty, and she had lots of self - respect. Most girls just threw themselves as Sesshomaru when they saw him. Well, maybe that was the problem. Maybe the reason he was attracted to this girl was because she was blind. A new challenge, he thought. Let's see, what could get this girl to fall all over me? Hmm... I know, maybe if a recite a poem.
"Did you know that you're beautiful?" he asked Kagome.
"Can't see. Therefore, don't know," Kagome replied.
"Well, here's something to describe you: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd:
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou growest.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." He said reciting Shakespeare's eighteenth sonnet, obviously sounding very proud that he knew it.
Kagome however, was not impressed. This was probably the only Shakespeare he knew besides Romeo & Juliet, and maybe, Hamlet or Macbeth.
"Shakespeare's eighteenth sonnet. Nice, you must be a very intelligent man who majored in literature..." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru smiled, he knew that once he recited a sonnet, girls would think he was good looking, and smart. He would have this blind girl in the palm of hir hand in no time.
"...or," Kagome comtinued. "You could be a total fraud, and not know a thing about Shakespeare except for that sonnet."
By now everyone on the bus was listening to the feud going on in the front of the bus. "Ohhh, diss," they heard some girls in the back say.
"And what would make you think that?" Sesshomaru asked, offended.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's the cockiness in you're voice."
Before Sesshomaru could say something they had already pulled up to the President's Palace. "And we're here," Miroku said on the intercom. This time Kagome and Sango both brushed past Sesshomaru.
After they finished practice Sesshomaru and Miroku showed the dancers around the President's Palace. "Sesshomaru's so cute!" Kagome heard one of the dancers say. "Yeah, you think maybe since that Kagome girl kicked him to the curve I could have him?" asked one of the other girls.
"Sango? Is he really that good looking?" asked Kagome. "Yes, he does look great, but I know these kind of guys. They see a pretty girl, tell them they love them, and then drop them as soon as they see someone else." Sango replied.
Kagome didn't believe that. Sure he was very sure of himself but he was just trying to be nice. And this was her vacation; she had to have fun. If she was back at home, her dad would never let this happen. So what if she wanted to have a fling? Here was a guy who actually liked her. Maybe she should give it a go.
"Oh no," Sango said reading her mind. "You are NOT doing anything with that tour guide. Your parents told me to take care of you. You are not going ANYWHERE with him."
"Okay, okay, " Kagome said.
"Girls, let's go, you're gonna need a lot of rest. We have practice bright and early tomorrow and lots of sightseeing after."
They arrived back at the hotel, as the girls spilled out Sesshomaru pulled on Kagome's arm and took her behind the bus.
"Meet me tomorrow after your dance rehearsal for our own sightseeing? I'll take you places that's not on the tour," he said.
Kagome shook her head, "You're still at it?" she asked.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yeah."
"Meet me in front of the President's Palace."
"Okay, see ya."
As Kagome walked away Miroku came out of the bus. "Sesshomaru, I've been in this business for ten years. I've known you for five of those years and you have had more girls than the miles on this bus. Why do you want this blind girl?"
"Ah Miroku, they say when someone loves you, you won't be able to sleep. I wish someone would love me! I bloody sleep all the time!
Meanwhile Kagome was on the balcony. "Kagome, go to sleep," Sango called. "My whole life I've been sleeping. Now for once I can't" Kagome replied.
