Chapter Seven: Fluff

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

It was the following day in the home of the Lord of the Western lands. It was past noon and Kagome found herself in the library with the youji Rin. She was trying to teach Rin
some basic words. She had to admit that the youji was learning how to read a lot quicker than what she had thought she would be capable of.

Rin was currently reading part of a book that Kagome had found about miko powers. Kagome wasn’t listening to her at that moment. She had been thinking about Sesshoumaru.
He had not been at breakfast or lunch, and she had not seen him all day. Jaken had claimed that Sesshoumaru had been in his office all day working on important paperwork.
Kagome was unaware that a Lord had important paperwork. She merely felt that Sesshoumaru was avoiding her because of the emotion that he had shown the previous night. But
of this she could not be sure.

Kagome and Rin spent the entire afternoon in the library. Rin had managed to read through the first couple chapters of the book with minimal help from Kagome, meaning that she
had learned very, very quickly. Kagome thought that perhaps someone had tried to teach Rin to read before and that she had merely forgotten. It was time for dinner before the
girls left the library.

When they reached the dining hall the two ningens sat down and were served their food by a maid named Kohana. Neither waited for the Lord to enter before eating, neither

thought that he would show. They were wrong however. About halfway through the meal the Lord’s door opened and Sesshoumaru entered the room. He quietly sat down in his
chair and nodded for the two ningens to continue eating, as they had both stopped the second that his door opened.

Sesshoumaru sat at the table in silence until the dinner was almost finished. He then spoke up. “So Rin, how is your reading going?” He asked the youji

“It’s going really well. Kagome taught me a lot of new words and I’ve already read two chapters of a book almost all by myself.” The youji beamed.

“That’s great to hear Rin, I’m glad that you are learning so quickly.” The Lord smiled... yes I wrote it, smiled.

It was then that conversation stopped again. After dinner each person in the room left in the same fashion as they always did. This time as they all met outside of the door that
Kagome and Rin exited Sesshoumaru turned to Yumi as she approached Rin.

“Yumi, please tend to your other duties. Kagome will put Rin to bed.” Sesshoumaru stated to the maid who only bowed and exited the hall in her reply. Rin ran to Sesshoumaru
and wrapped her arms around his legs in a hug and then ran to Kagome, grabbed her hand and ran down the hall toward her room. Kagome had no choice but to follow. They did
not however realize the youkai following behind them.

Soon the two ningens reached Rin’s bedroom, Rin finally releasing her grasp on Kagome. “Rin-chan, please go pick out a nightgown.” Kagome smiled down at the small girl
who ran down the length of her room and went to her closet. Rin pulled at a small pink colored nightgown and then went back to where Kagome was standing. Kagome helped
Rin change into her nightgown and then picked Rin up and put her in her bed.

“Kagome-chan, will you finish telling Rin the story you started yesterday?” Rin questioned the miko.

“Of course Rin-chan.” Kagome smiled as she took the seat that sat next to Rin’s bed. “What was the last thing that you remember?”

“The Princess was getting presents from the fairies for her sixteenth birthday.” Rin beamed.

“Okay so, ‘The first fairy gave the princess...’” Kagome began the story where she had been told that she had left off. She did not noticed the new presence in the room as the
youkai stood in the doorway leaning against the doorframe as he always did. After he realized that Rin was starting to fall asleep he moved himself out of the doorframe and
down the hallway.

After Rin’s patterned breathing consumed her again, Kagome arose from the chair to go to her own bedroom. She walked down the hall and opened her door. Upon opening her
door she let out a slight gasp at finding the Lord of the Western lands sitting on her bed, starring out of the window.

“Can I help you with something Sesshoumaru-sama?” Kagome questioned him with a slight blush rising in her cheeks. He did not reply but he removed himself from her bed and
walked over to where she was standing. He stood directly in front of her, their body’s almost touching. He reached behind her and with one quick movement of his arm, Kagome
heard a clicking sound from behind her. He had shut the door. With both of them, alone, inside her bedroom. This made her blush even more. “Um... Sesshoumaru-sama?”

“I need to be honest with you Kagome-chan.” The youkai stated as he looked into her eyes. “There is this emotion that I seem to be having that I can not place. I keep thinking
about someone at all moments of the day, no matter how much time I try to get her out of my mind, her face keeps appearing. I worry for her safety, I want to be the one to protect
her, not anyone else... and to be honest, I don’t know why.”

“Well, Sesshoumaru-sama, it would seem as though you have a crush on someone.” Kagome sighed softly, almost inaudible for even him to hear.

“Then I must be honest again, the person who makes me feel that way, is you Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru answered while looking at the miko before him as she blushed
furiously.

“You Sesshoumaru-sama, make me feel the same way.” Kagome answered softly, thought she knew that he could hear her.


“Damn father and his love for ningens being a family trait.” Sesshoumaru mumbled with a smirk. Without a warning Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around her pulling her into a
firm hug. She returned the gesture by wrapping both of her arms around his lower back, just as tightly. After a few moments Sesshoumaru pulled away, his hand still resting on
her forearm. “Get some sleep Kagome-chan.” He said softly and then placed a kiss on her forehead as he did the night before.

Sesshoumaru stepped to the side and began walking away from Kagome with his hand sliding down her arm, his eyes not leaving hers. When their hands met, he left his to linger
for a moment before retracting it from her warm touch. He opened the door, turned from her and left the room, closing the door behind him. A few moments later Kagome began
to giggle with a large smile gracing her face. She was ecstatic, to the point of jumping up and down from happiness at the few moments that she had just spent with a man who
was quickly taking up all the empty space in her heart.

She heard a click and turned back toward the door that the tai youkai had just exited. He stood there with a large smirk on his face, stopping any celebrating that Kagome had
been doing. “I expect to see you at breakfast in the morning, ne?” He asked her softly and she nodded in her reply. He smiled gently at her before he left the room again. Kagome
took a few steps backward and then collapsed on her bed out of embarrassment.

“Oh how I wish this week would never end.” Kagome smiled to herself as she thought back on the past couple days of her life.

Author’s note: Yes I realize that this was a short chapter but I didn’t want to put this one and the next together because of the difference in context... well... trust me, I have my
reasons.

shame on those of you who did :D

furiously. -- Dirty bastard is going soft on us... what are we to do?

“Damn father and his love for ningens being a family trait.” Sesshoumaru mumbled with a smirk. -- I just thought that it was funny... because apparently Inuyasha knows how to
