InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kindergarten Flirting ❯ Ode To The Green Eyed Monster ( Chapter 16 )

Kindergarten Flirting

Back in kindergarten, your mother would tell you that if a boy pulls your pigtails he likes you, and if he dips them in paint he loves you. That goes for the rest of your life too. Moreover, when you're an adult and work for the Hottest Man of the Year.

Kagome was in a texting frenzy with Sango. The previous night she had called her best friend and informed her of what was going on, what happened, and tried to critically analyze what could happen. Sango merely zoned in on the YOU HAD SEX WITH HIM stream for the better half of the conversation. Eventually she discussed more relevant things, like his attitude.

SMS to Miyagi, Sango:
So he's showing this girl around and…I don't know who she is!

Within seconds…

SMS from Miyagi, Sango:
Maybe it's a ploy to get you jealous? I dunno, Kagome, it sounds like something he'd do…

Kagome frowned and quickly punched the buttons on her phone that corresponded to the letters she desired to input.

SMS to Miyagi, Sango:
I honestly doubt it...On top of that, he's making me rewrite the Mistress Centipede files…those took me TWO MONTHS to compile!

SMS from Miyagi, Sango:
Well… maybe he didn't lose it and he's just making you do it because he's a mean bastard who has nothing better to do with his life?

SMS to Miyagi, Sango:
That is probably the most realistic thing you've said in the past two days.

SMS from Miyagi, Sango:
It also happens to be the most sarcastic thing I've said. Recess is done, call you tonight?

SMS to Miyagi, Sango:
I'll call you. Lord of the Jackasses is keeping me in overtime.

SMS from Miyagi Sango:
Unpaid?

SMS to Miyagi Sango:
No, paid. Ttyl *less than three

Kagome threw her phone into her top drawer and reclined in her seat. She closed her eyes and immediately, the image of Inuyasha popped into her mind; his devious smirk, teasing eyes, sinful aura…

"Uhh, Higurashi?"

"KYAAA!" Not expecting somebody to peek into her office, Kagome tilted her chair backwards and fell. The familiar sound of Inuyasha's laughter filled her ears and she growled in anger. Before she could struggle and get up, he was peering at her, his face upside down.

"Are you napping on the job?"

"Very funny, can you help me up? I'm stuck!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and helped Kagome up. She dusted herself off and quietly thanked him as he pulled her chair back up. "This is why I tell you, don't nap at work."

"I'll remember your advice for the next time I'm fighting temptation," she muttered dryly. If Inuyasha wasn't pretending to not want her, he would've kissed her for sounding so sexily sarcastic. But, alas, he was pretending, so he could not.

"I want to introduce you to Rin before I give her a tour of the building. Starting Monday, she will be shadowing you before I settle her into the Public Relations department." Inuyasha spoke in his commanding, business-man voice. Kagome simply nodded, not knowing what else she could possibly do. If she told him right then that she missed his little antics, she'd be hypocritical in every sense.

She told him countless times to stop, then what's changed?

So why is it that when he finally did, she wanted to be pranked and touched in every sexual way possible? Why is it that irony is such an ironic bitch?

Eff you, irony, eff you.

Inuyasha ushered Kagome to exit her office. Standing in front of Yura's counter was a petite girl, but absolutely gorgeous nonetheless. She was wearing a rather revealing dress and Kagome fought the urge to clench her fist.

She already did not like this girl.

Her waist length hair was simply pinned back with a silver butterfly clip, but a few locks traced her face. She was cracking jokes with Yura, throwing her head back with laughter.

"Satori?" Inuyasha called. Rin looked over, her eyes brightening.

Ohhh, Kagome did not like the ways her eyes brightened upon hearing Inuyasha call her.

"Hi!" Rin said in her usual bubbly personality. "You must be Higurashi Kagome?" She extended her hand to shake Kagome's. Awkwardly, the latter woman shook the former woman's hand before withdrawing it like she had been shocked. All of this, though, did not go unnoticed by Rin or Inuyasha.

"Yes." Kagome smiled as friendly as possible. Keep it cool. You wanted this. You have no claim over him...He's a free man and he can be interested in any woman he wants to be…even really tiny, really hyper women.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Satori-san," Kagome said as professionally as possible. "I look forward to working with you."

Rin grinned. "Me too! Inuyasha already told me about Cepheus hiring and that you applied? I applied there too; maybe I can get internally hired as well!"

WHAT? Kagome whirled to Inuyasha who simply shrugged at Kagome.

"It's an open position." Inuyasha had to give Rin a cookie for that one. He would never have thought of that. He felt a sense of pride, for his brother, for marrying such a smart woman. She is a Takahashi.

"I guess it is." Kagome sounded dejected. Oh the desire to gather her into his arms and kiss her until her lips were bruised was almost uncontrollable. But Inuyasha maintained a stronghold; she had, on numerous occasions, said no to him. Far be it for him to be a pushy person (note: sarcasm); he was going to let Kagome realize her feelings.

Rin cocked her head to the side. "Well, Takahashi-san promised me a tour of the building…I especially want to see the rooftop garden!"

Inuyasha chuckled. Kagome fought the shudder that wanted to run up her spine; she fought the urge to throw her arms around his neck, beg for an apology and kiss him till his lips bruised. But alas, she could not. Quietly wishing them to have a good time, Kagome walked back to her office and shut the door.

Inuyasha guided Rin to the elevator and, as soon as the door slid closed behind them, he exploded into laughter. Rin rubbed her nose, grinning.

"So? Am I great, or am I great?"

"Rin, if you weren't married to Sesshomaru and if I wasn't in love with that sexy bird—"

"Language, Takahashi. Women are not birds," Rin said darkly and Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Fine. If I wasn't in love with that beautiful lady," Rin nodded in approval, "in there, I would've taken you out for dinner with a possibility of a second date."

"Ehhh?" Rin raised an eyebrow. "I'm not good enough to go on a second date with THE Inuyasha? Pfft, I'm too good for you—by the way, why did we take this elevator? Isn't there one on the other side of the corridor that takes you right into the middle of the rooftop garden?"

Inuyasha had a deadpan expression. "Why do you know my building better than me?"

Rin flipped her hair as the door opened. "I helped design it, remember? It needed a woman's touch."

"My mother contributed enough femininity to this building to last me five generations," Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. Rin giggled.

"Izayoi is awesome. Is she still on vacay?"

"Sadly, she still is. I miss her cooking…," Inuyasha muttered sadly. "Say, have anymore tricks up your sleeve?"

Rin tapped her chin. "As a matter of fact…I do…"

"Alright, you're getting two Hummers now."

Rin only shook her head in amusement at her brother-in-laws antics. Oh kiddo.

.xx.

Kagome sipped her coffee and concentrated on her computer screen. Inuyasha's company was in the process of launching baby products; while the company had a wide array of projects, the most significant one being his electronics company, it did not do baby products. Inuyasha had been in the process to acquire permission to manufacture products targeting newborns to age four. That was when the toddler stage ended and the 'I'm a big kid!' stage began.

Biting her bottom lip, she decided to amp up the crib design that the design team had sent her. They were participating in a live chat group, only accessible by workers of the building, and figuring out the kinks to the crib design.

K. Higurashi: I think if we rounded the edges off a bit more, it'd be appealing. I like the oak idea—very classy and very chic, and that's what's in this spring and summer.

C. Wong: Kagome is right. A few of the public relations guys have been contacting the big guys over in Hollywood and oak wood and the colour purple are in.

K. Higurashi: No purple, it's a crib. Besides, the parents can pick the colour scheme.

M. Lin: I still think we should do a Disney theme…

K. Higurashi: Miroku, everyone does Disney themes.

M. Lin: It sells though.

Y. Fukai: Well, we aren't selling just one crib design, guys. Let's start off with Kagome's idea: oak cribs, rounded edges, throw some Egyptian cotton in there and a built in abacus.

C. Wong: WTH is a baby going to do with an abacus?

Y. Fukai: Catherine, maybe Takahashi Group could be responsible for the next Michelangelo!

M. Lin: Angelo was a painter, Yuki.

Y. Fukai: Shut up, Miroku.

K. Higurashi: Relax. Relax. Yuki is right, start off with a design. We need to have blueprints and an abstract on the product on Inuyasha's desk by next Friday and we don't even have the basic foundation of the crib. Catherine: start off with the rounded oak crib. Egyptian cotton is good, but don't put the abacus. How about a built in baby monitor? Run that by intel. Yuki: start the Disney design and inform everyone else on the design team of what's happening. Miroku…you aren't even part of the design team.

M. Lin: I'll be the cheerleader and moral supporter?

K. Higurashi: Sound's fair. I hear the roar of the Great Dog. Call my extension if anything. Bye.

Quickly, Kagome exited the chat and, as she expected, Inuyasha walked into her office, without knocking. In his left hand was his tie. She raised her eyebrow at him: "I swear it was on this morning."

He nodded. "It was, but I loosened it earlier and fucked it up trying to tighten it again."

Kagome got up off her chair and approached her boss, gently taking the tie from him. Leaning her body close to his, only to be able to reach around his neck, she began working the intricacies of tying a tie. Inuyasha watched the expression of concentration in her eyes as she studied the workings of her noose. The urge to resist pushing her onto her desk and take her, repeatedly, was hard. Finally completing the process, she adjusted the noose to his liking and took a step back.

"There you are."

Inuyasha stretched his head to the left, and then right. "Thanks. Do you want to take your lunch break now?"

Kagome glanced at the wall clock above her loveseat. It was quarter to noon. "This early?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, something came up with Advertisement so I'm gonna have to delay my lunch. Do you mind taking Rin with you?"

I do mind, in fact. Jerk. "No problem."

Oh why don't you ever speak what you want to say?

Because, epic battle between Angel Kagome and Devil Kagome had officially commenced, when you finally did speak what you wanted to say, you get cold shouldered from the guy you like.

That's beside the point. That is a lot more complicated than going out to lunch with a girl that's ogling Inuyasha.

Like you said, Kagome, he's a free man and you told him what you wanted. Even though you now realize you don't want what you wanted.

It's never too late to change the past.

Wrong. It's always too late to change the past, the damage is already done. It's up to you to shape your future. You can either fix what you said, or go with the flow.

…Makes sense.

Of course it made sense; I'm the voice of reason.

And the devil.

Yeah, yeah. Snap back to reality, Kagome…

"Helllllooooo?" Inuyasha waved a hand in front of her face. "Are you mesmerized by my awesome sexiness?"

"Huhh? …Yes?"

Inuyasha blinked. "You are?"

"I am?"

"…Do you need to go home?"

"Do I?"

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "Are you confusing me on purpose?"

Kagome raised her eyebrow. "It isn't hard to confuse you. Anyway, can you please step to the side so I can go for lunch and bond with this new employee of yours?"

Inuyasha had a mysterious twinkle in his eye. "Ah yes, new employee…" Kagome gave him a queer look but walked past him nonetheless. Chatting with Yura was Miss. Rin and even though Kagome was dreading spending time with her, she was going to do it with pride and dignity. Besides, Rin hadn't done anything wrong to her.

She fucked herself up.

I shouldn't judge this girl. She did nothing wrong… Breathing deeply, Kagome put her sweetest smile on her face. "Satori-san?"

Rin looked at her, surprised. "Yes?"

"Do you want to go on lunch now?"

Rin saw Inuyasha do a stupid little dance from the doorway of Kagome's office. She resisted the urge to double over in laughter. It was Inuyasha's thing ever since Sesshomaru and Rin adopted Shippo; the young fox demon toddler would always be shy around people that weren't Rin or Sesshomaru. So to ease up the atmosphere, Inuyasha always did a stupid dance in front of him. More often than not, it broke the ice around Shippo's shyness.

"I'd love to! Takahashi," she smiled over at him, "would you like to come?"

Ehhh? All buddy, buddy now, are we? Kagome's eye twitched.

"I'm kind of busy. I'll go tomorrow, promise."

…Promise?

Rin exerted a soft giggle before following Kagome to her destination of choice. Inuyasha strode back to his office, a senile smile on his face. Get ready, Kagome, for Operation: Turbospeed.

The name was irrelevant to the cause. Inuyasha just thought it sounded cool.

Rin pitied him for his lack of imagination.

He pitied her for marrying Sesshomaru.

.xx.

"So!" Rin grinned as they both took a seat in the outdoor patio at the Italian Bistro. "Tell me everything about Inuyasha!"

Kagome raised an eyebrow at Rin. "Working fast, are we?"

Laughing, Rin cracked her knuckles and slumped back in her seat. "No, he seems like a good guy…"

"Uh huh."

"Whaaatt?" Rin's eyes twinkled. "Don't you think he's a good guy?"

"I think many things, Satori-san."

"Call me Rin."

Kagome eyed her momentarily but nodded, nonetheless. The waiter popped by and the two placed their orders before Rin resumed blabbering to Kagome. "Well, like I was saying, he seems like a good guy and I wanted to get to know him better…"

"I thought you were his brother's friend?" Kagome raised her eyebrow. Rin rolled her eyes.

"I'm a friend of his brother's wife," HA, HA Rin, HA, HA. Rin laughed in her head, she commended herself for her quick thinking. "I haven't really met Inuyasha, you know?"

Kagome nodded. "Yeah…I suppose." She shrugged and leaned back in her seat. "He is a good guy."

Bingo, keep talking missy. Rin masked her look of victory as she lured Kagome into talking about Inuyasha. Even though Rin was trying to get Kagome a tad bit jealous, she was also aiming to understand what Kagome felt for Inuyasha.

And why she denied him so much.

"Have you ever gone for him?"

The look of surprise on Kagome's face made Rin raise her eyebrow. Evidently, Kagome was not expecting that question. She opened and closed her mouth a few times before settling on closing her mouth and looking out onto the main street. Rin mustered up all the skill she had in acting: "You did, didn't you."

"No, I did not," Kagome said, tightly. "Why would I?"

"Why wouldn't you?"

Kagome shrugged. "He's my boss, I'm his secretary. He's rich and won best looking of the year, nth year running…what could he possibly want from a nearly impoverished girl that helps run her family shrine?"

Rin frowned. "Maybe he's not that shallow?"

Kagome gave Rin a deadpan look. "He was engaged to Kikyo. Ki—ki—yo!" Kagome enunciated her name. "Do you not remember all that scandal that surrounded her?"

Of course I do, I was front and centre for that shit. Rin tilted her head to the side. "I do remember…but I recall she broke the engagement because Inuyasha said he'd give his nephew full rights to the company, even if he had a son first?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know the details; all I know is that she ran out when Inuyasha said something about his nephew and the company."

"How did we get off tangent?"

Kagome fought her grin. "Because we're women?"

"Amen." Rin nodded. The waiter arrived at that moment and gave them their food and drinks. He wished them a good meal, in Italian, and left the two women in solitude. "But yes, scandal?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't keep up with the news, to be honest, but I do recall hearing from somewhere that every time Inuyasha said anything, she'd do it. Never mind the fact she was a shallow gold digging…" Kagome paused, looking for the right word.

"Bitch?" Rin offered. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Well…yes, bitch; never mind that fact. I heard that she cheated on him at one point because he told her to? I don't know how much I believe that story—"

"I sure as hell didn't believe it when I heard it," Rin muttered, remembering that rumour that had been going around. Kagome nodded.

"But from her personality and how she responded and reacted to him, it was quite obvious that he wanted a woman that wouldn't oppose him in any way." Kagome sipped her water. "He's been used to that so why should I believe that he'd want me for me."

"Why wouldn't he though, I don't get it." Rin sensed that Kagome had no jealous inclination towards her, so she decided to press the subject further. At that moment Kagome had forgotten about Rin's question of tell me everything about Inuyasha! and zoned into her own little world.

Kagome shrugged. "It seems too good to be true."

"So what you're saying is," Rin was going out on a limb here, "if you let him get close to you, you'd lose yourself completely to him and end up getting heartbroken, right?"

"…In a hypothetical, alternative universe sense, yes."

Rin nodded. "I get it…kind of insecure there, aren't you?"

"Never had a reason to be secure, no."

Rin chewed her pasta slowly and stared at Kagome. "Have you ever had boyfriends?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yes, I have."

"Have you ever been cheated on?"

"This isn't Figure Out Kagome 101, Rin," Kagome spat bitterly. Rin couldn't help but laugh at her sarcasm; she'd be the perfect girl for her baby brother. Inuyasha's childish antics could use a bit of Kagome's bitter sarcasm...A match made in heaven, if Rin said so herself.

"Oh come on, we're both girls, we're both going to work together—" And possibly be sister-in-laws together. You sure as hell are raising my children; I have no patience. Rin thought comically as she spoke. "Might as well become friends while we're at it?"

Kagome sighed. She wanted to say no because Rin possibly could be after Inuyasha, but she was a grown woman. Drama was meant for high school and it had been a long time since Kagome had graduated from her secondary institution. Finding no reason not to be friends with Rin (other than this little thing called jealousy), Kagome agreed to what Rin said.

"Might as well be, right?" she said, her voice slightly hesitant.

"Exactly."

"But don't expect to write a biography on me," Kagome warned. Rin giggled.

"Someday, maybe. But of course not now, we just met."

Kagome nodded and concentrated on her food again. Rin popped her question again: "So have you been cheated on?"

"RIN!"

"What?" Rin laughed. "I'm curious!"

Kagome sighed. "Fine. Yes, I have. Second year of university, he cheated on me with my best friend and I don't speak to either of them anymore."

Rin winced. "Ouch…"

"On my birthday, too." Kagome shrugged. "But time heals all wounds, my brother and my friend's brother made no hesitation to introduce him to his backside."

Rin burst into laughter; reminded her of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. "Well that's good. Have you dated after that?"

Kagome shook her head. "Nah, my father passed away around the same time so I was just concentrated on school and my family. I had no time for men—" Knowing that they could lie and let a person die...Like my father… "Why don't you tell me about you?"

Rin giggled. "Alright, alright, it's only fair. I've known Sesshomaru's wife since forever ago, they drop by my place often. I told his wife that I need a job and she said that Inuyasha's hiring so…after pulling some strings, he hired me and here I am."

Kagome nodded. "Have you ever dated?"

Rin blushed and shook her head. It was true, she didn't ever date…ever since Sesshomaru saved her from a wolf attack about five hundred years ago, she tagged along wherever he went and he always seemed to scare off potential suitors. Eventually, when she was older, he began courting her and they mated. Because the era in which they met was dark, they decided to hold off having children until the warring period ended. Not too long ago, perhaps fifty or so years ago, while they were on vacation, they found an orphaned fox demon. Instantly falling in love with him, Rin chided Sesshomaru into adopting him. And so, they did.

"Never?" Kagome breathed. Rin harrumphed.

"No! I've always waited for the right guy."

"And what makes you think Inuyasha is?"

Rin shrugged. "I won't know unless I try?"

"Bullpiss, Rin!"

Rin blinked a few times before exploding in laughter. "Bullpiss?"

Kagome grinned. "What? If bullshit can be a bad word, why not the other method of excreting bodily trash?"

"Oh sweet Lord." Rin tried to breathe. "You crack me up."

Kagome smiled. Alright, Rin wasn't all that bad.

"So you're gonna try for Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, as casually as possible. Rin hid her smile.

"Maybe, I don't know…What do you say?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know. You can if you want; he's a single guy…"

"Are you ever going to?"

Kagome was silent. She looked down at her plate and tried to quickly think of an answer for Rin… Am I?

Sensing her confusion, Rin quickly stood up. "Lunch is done!" Kagome sighed in relief from the distraction and stood up too. They both went inside the Bistro and paid their bill before walking back to their building of employment.

"Kagome," Rin nudged her. Kagome looked down at the girl that was merely four inches shorter than her.

"Hmmm?"

"I think this is gonna be a beautiful friendship."

Kagome paused, and then smiled. "You know what? I think so too…"

.xx.

Kagome was sitting in her office trying to go through her files to find remnants of the Mistress Centipede files. It was already late, past closing time, and most of the building had gone home…including Inuyasha. Rin had left relatively early that day compared to other trainees Kagome had experienced in the past. Regardless of Rin's attraction for Inuyasha, Kagome had grown somewhat fond of her.

She was very personable, never an awkward moment with her.

"Hmmm… liquidation list for Centipede… good… what else do we have here…" Kagome scrolled through the hundreds and hundreds of files on her computer, trying to find anything relevant to recomposing the Mistress Centipede. She found employee history, previous legal issues, potential mergers…

"Mat leave… good... manager history…" There was a knock on Kagome's door and she looked up, frowning. She was supposed to be the only one in the building save Hanate, the security guard. Kagome's eyes widened to see Inuyasha standing at the foot of her door, shirt untucked, tie untied, and hair askew.

"Inuyasha?"

"Almost done?" It was 7pm.

"I thought you went home!"

Well, she wasn't lying. He did go home, but it was to drop Rin off. Inuyasha never had the intention of leaving Kagome alone in the building with no way to get home except via cab. Sure he was being a jerk to her, but he wasn't a total asshole.

"Well no… I had some business to take care of." He smirked. "Did you really think I was going to leave you alone here?"

"Well…"

"You have no faith in me." He grabbed her jacket off of the hook beside her door. "Let's go."

"But I'm nowhere near being done."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "So? Jakotsu will help you tomorrow, it's getting late and you have to go to the hospital before I take you home."

Kagome's heart stilled. "…You're taking me to the hospital first?"

"Of course." Inuyasha held his hand out to her and she looked at it before looking at him. She was still in her sitting position and she knew that he was offering a hand to help her up. Slowly, she took it, mainly because she wanted to feel his skin on hers again…

After she stood up, he let go of her hand and began leading the way out the building. Kagome's heart was racing uncontrollably in her chest—she could not believe that he did that. He came back.

For her.

She waited in the main foyer, chit chatting with Hanate as she waited for Inuyasha to bring the car. She learned it was Hanate's daughter's 5th birthday and that he couldn't make it to the party because he couldn't get the night off. She felt incredibly bad but didn't have anything to console him with, so she merely hugged him tightly before going to board Inuyasha's car.

He drove to the hospital first, mainly in silence. He did ask a few business related questions though, but nothing that Kagome would call person.

Not like before…

He parked his car and escorted Kagome inside, nodding at the night shift nurse as they passed through the waiting area. Inuyasha wanted to see Souta, see how he was doing and make sure that her mother and grandfather were fine. He had sent a car earlier in the day to take them home to get washed up, eat, and sleep for a bit before dropping them back off to the hospital.

Even if Kagome denied it and didn't believe him, he would do anything for her.

For her family.

They walked into Souta's room and saw him reading a book. Kagome's grandfather was taking a nap on a chair and Korari was watching the television. Souta's eyes brightened when he saw his sister—he hadn't seen her in a while. Kagome hugged him carefully and exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the hospital. She promised her mother that she and Kohaku would stay at the hospital for the weekend so her mother and Jii-chan could catch up on sleep.

The silence was loud on the drive home from the hospital; it deafened Kagome. Inuyasha was gripping the steering wheel with such intensity his knuckles turned white. He hated acting like this to Kagome. He knew he was hurting her but he didn't want Kagome to experience a You Only Realize What You Have When You Lose It life lesson. He smelt her desire, smelt her pain, her tears…

He knew she wanted him. All she had to do was say it and he'd be hers. Better be soon though… I'm positive Sesshomaru is planning my murder and funeral service right now for getting Rin in on this.

Inuyasha pulled up in front of Kagome's shrine and turned his car off. She turned to him and before could say anything, he quickly said, "I'll walk you to the door."

The surprises never ceased for Kagome. She didn't stop him; all the more time she got to spend with him, alone. She was kicking herself mentally; she wanted him but she didn't want to want him and now that he was giving her what she wanted, she didn't want it anymore. The tread up the steps was a slow one. Inuyasha's hands were shoved in his pockets and Kagome's hands were clenched tightly to the sides of her body.

After the infinitely long walk, they arrived in front of her shrine. She turned to him.

"Thanks…"

He nodded. "Anytime. See you tomorrow?"

Kagome's heart broke. "Yeah…see you…"

"I'll pick you up," he murmured softly, again, catching Kagome off guard. Not wanting to do what she did that very morning and reject him, she nodded her head.

"7:30?" she asked.

"7:30," he confirmed. With lightning speed movements, he leaned forward and kissed her cheek and withdrew, not before whispering a soft I love you into her ear. Before she even had time to react, he turned and used his demon speed to run back to his car.

Kagome slowly touched the cheek that he kissed.

Inuyasha…

.xx.

This was a tough chapter to do. I'm not 100% satisfied with it and I rewrote it a bajillion times but I can't get it right, so I have to settle for near perfect. Tell me what you guys think?
