Chapter 1: Good Morning Sunshine

She was in the hot springs, soaking away all that troubled her. She leaned back against the giant boulder, sinking into the soothing warmth of the water and closed her eyes. All she could think was "Why am I here… is this a reality… and if it is, then why did he of all people bring me here?" she couldn't help the sigh that escaped her lips. Silently, Sesshoumaru had entered and was now sitting atop the boulder she leaned against. As he heard her sigh, he felt a twinge of something and a thought flashed quickly through his mind, "She is so beautiful". Speaking up, he said to her "What is troubling you Kagome?" Startled, she spun around, making sure to cover herself, and asked "How long have you been there?" and added a scowl for emphasis. Chuckling inwardly he removed his beautiful silk kimono and slipped into the water next to her. "Oh not long" he replied as he glided closer to her. She let out a defeated sigh and rested her head on the boulder. As he was behind her he sensed her tension and silently reach out a hand to massage her back. She jumped at his touch, for she wasn't expecting any contact. Instinctively, she spun around which drew her in closer to him. "At times like these he really doesn't seem so bad… and he is gorgeous - whoa snap out of it Kagome, for kami's sake this is Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands we are talking about here." He smirked slightly as her emotions played across her face. He took the opportunity to breath in her sweet scent, " She smells so good, like cherry blossoms and vanilla". Reflecting on his own thoughts for a moment, he gazed at her. And then suddenly upon impulse he drew her in closer to him. Coming out of her own thoughts, she noticed the way he looked at her. And in his eyes she thought she saw desire flick through his golden orbs. Then as if it was what the moment called for they leaned in, their faces so close that their breaths mingled. She leaned into him and closed her eyes as he craned his neck to close the distance between them and…

"Haily you have to get up NOW!"

"Aww mom just 5 more minutes" Haily muttered as she was drawn out of her dream.

"No, you've already overslept, school starts in an hour!"

As the words sank in she realized "Oh shit! I'm never going to be ready in time…" She jumped out of bed and raced around to finish her morning routine - or rather start it that is.

When she finally got to school, she put her books away and sighed thinking about her dream. "Ugh I wish that was me - I wouldn't mind staying with Sesshoumaru, he's gorgeous and besides it would get me out of here". She couldn't suppress the smile and giggle that came along with it, as she reached into her locker to get `The Book'. The Book is binder that she and her best friend Kate collect Sesshoumaru stories in - they feel it is a sacred object and no one but them may look at its contents. She pulled the now extremely fat binder out of her locker and slid onto the floor to finish reading the story that Kate had leant her the day before. As her mind drifted into the story, she imagined herself there in place of Kagome, but of course she could only dream - right? The bell rang, snapping her out of the story and back into reality. "Geeze… that was fast… homeroom already?" "Oh yea I was late this morning" she grumbled thoroughly pissed off that her reading time had been cut short. She pulled herself up and trudged into homeroom to go find Kate and discuss last night's Inu episode, and the stories they had been reading.
