Exactly at six o’clock there was a knock at the door. I waved goodbye to Sango and Miroku who where curled up on the couch together watching a movie. While Shippo once again crashed out on my bed to keep from having to go back to his dorm room with his party hardy roommates. I hadn’t really been sure what to wear with this being a dinner thing, but we were also going to be practicing. So I opted for a pair of black slacks and a purple tunic kind of top with a slight v-neck, that I had snagged out of Sango‘s closet while her and Miroku were busy tongue wrestling. I had slipped on a pair of purple flats onto my feet and quickly pulled my hair was up into a messy bun.

I sat nervously fidgeting in my seat as we drove through the gate to Inu Yasha’s family’s estate. The road from the gate to the actual house was like a 10 minute drive and when I saw the actual house my mouth dropped. It wasn’t a house, that thing was a fricken mansion. It was all painted light yellow.

“Yasha are you aware your house is yellow?”

He lightly chuckled, “That would be my mom‘s doing, she herd somewhere that the color yellow made people feel warm and welcome. Be warned the inside is all pastel blue it’s her way of making us all feel more relaxed and calm, she has what I believe is referred to as the empty nest syndrome”

“It really doesn’t matter but I still feel stupid for not knowing you had this kinda money”

“Kagome it’s not my money, it’s my parents!”

I nodded my head, “And that’s exactly how the rich, would see it”

I had met Inu Yasha’s mother a couple of times over the many years she had been brining Inu Yasha down to spend his summers with Jakotsu’s family. She was a really nice lady. I’d only met his father a couple of time. And on one of tho’s time he wanted to know when I was going to give him a grandchild. Which wouldn’t have been to awkward if I hadn’t just turned sixteen.

Inu Yasha pulled in front of the entrance and killed the engine before quickly hoping out of the car to open my door for me. “Your killing me Kag‘s don‘t make me look bad,” he joked.

“Well now someone raised you right didn’t they.” I took the offered hand and let him help me out of his car.

“I certainly do hope I raised him well enough to help a beautiful young lady such as yourself out of his car!” Izayoi Rin Tashio called from the doorway. Her warm chestnut colored hair, which had last time I had seen it had been long enough to touch the floor, was now drastically cut into a short stylish bob. She was impeccably dressed as always. The light blue sun dress she wore was elegantly emphasized with beaded details on it. “It’s been to long Kagome my dear.”

“I’ve missed you to Mrs. Tashio” I agreed as the ex-super model embraced me. “What happened to your hair?”

“She was helping at a cancer awareness event and the next day she donates it all to ‘Locks of Love.’” Inu Yasha answered as he shut the car door.

“Any ways, how many times have I asked you to just call me Izayoi.” she smiled and shook her head before snapping her sharp chocolate eye‘s to her son. “What? You're too mature to the person, who went through twenty-two and a half hours to give you life, to give that person a kiss?”

“Hiya ma!” Inu Yasha leaned over and gently kissed her on the cheek.

“That’s better, now take Kagome and go wash your hands. Then come to the family dining room.” she told him before shooing us off.

“Exactly how many dining rooms do you have?” I whispered

“Like three, I think” he laughed.

We sat around an average sized round dinner table as the maid Rose finished bringing out the last of the food. The walls where indeed a pale blue!

“Rose won‘t you please join us for dinner, it all just looks so good.” Izayoi pleaded with her best puppy dog eye’s. Very easy to see where Inu Yasha gets his personality from, that’s for sure.

“Now Mrs. Tashio we‘ve talked about this before, it isn’t appropriate,” the large gray haired woman chided her. “And it’s good to see you young master Inu Yasha.”

Izayoi sulked. “It’s happening one day.”

Rose sweetly smiled and bowed. “As you wish Mrs. Tashio.” she turned and walked off.

Izayoi had remembered I loved Italian and had them prepare ‘Penne all'arrabbiata’ which is really just a really ‘HOT’ spaghetti dish, salad and for dessert there was strawberry cheese cake, my favorite!

“So Kagome dear how do you like the university?” Izayoi asked as she used her napkin to wipe her mouth.

My eyes darted to the cheese cake trying to decide how much damage eating another slice would do to my waist line. I was going to be exercising so wouldn’t that cancel it out? “Ummm it’s alright I’ve gotten to meet lots of…. Interesting people, plus it has a great program for me and what’s batter then a full ride scholarship”

“Are you still close with the Banryu boys?” she gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.

Inu Yasha growled at her. “MOM”

“I‘m so sorry Kagome I forgot, I mean my husband kind of told me what happened so of course you wouldn’t be…”

I tried to give her a reassuring smile. “If you really think about it, it was my own entire fault. So what happened, well it just happened.” That was it; I took the large piece of cheese cake. I was going to need it. “Jakotsu and I are still as close as ever. After Bank graduated I didn’t see him at all until I came here. I needed a place to stash some stuff, so as a trade for him letting me us a spare bedroom in his apartment I agreed to be his date to the founders day ball. The whole thing is a little more complicated than just showing up now isn’t it?”

“You kidding it’s a whole week of parting!” She laughed. “Yashie told me about your problem and I taught him everything I know so you should be in good hands. Though if you really want someone good to teach you, you should have my other son Sesshomaru teach you!”

“NO!, no, I mean he‘s busy preparing with Kagura for their own part of the dance.” I reasoned before taking a drink of water. “aren’t they….” I giggled nervously and took a long drink.

She slightly frowned. “I hate that girl she‘s just such a bitch” I gasped causing water to go spray out my mouth on my plate, making Inu Yasha laugh even harder as I turned and openly stared at her. “What, she is. The only reason she‘s Sesshy‘s partner is because it was arranged by my husband father. And he’s worse then her! He thought it would be in the best interest of everyone, can you say medieval? Trust me, Kagura’s mother is no better!”

“Whatever the bastard disserves it!” Inu Yasha managed to spit out, between shoving fork full’s of pasta into his mouth.

Izayoi threw a bread stick at her son‘s head “I will not have you either use that kind of language in this house, or say such things about your brother!”

“Half brother,” he corrected.

“I don‘t care if it’s only by a quater , family is family!”

“Feh, I‘m sorry”

She sighed. “Its all right darling but I have some things I must attend to so I‘m going to take my leave.” I stood and gave her a hug goodbye, and thanked her for the wonderful dinner. “I‘ll have Rose box up the left over’s for you, I remember what it’s like to be a starving college student,” she laughed. “Don‘t forget I married into all this craziness,” she kissed Inu Yasha goodbye and was gone.

After I had a third slice of cheese cake I followed Inu Yasha to the ballroom, which was bigger than the P.E. room at my high school.

“You do realize how ridicules this room is don‘t you?” I walked to the very center of the room and looked up at the glass ceiling and spun around as I stared at the stars.

Inu Yasha walked over to the CD player, and patched it into the stereos for the room and pressed play. He walked over to me and helped me get into the right posture. “Remember this is all done in a 1-2-3 scale”

I nodded my head in understanding as I stared down at are feet.

“No, Kagome don‘t watch your feet just focus on me. Okay now I‘m going to talk us through this. Okay so Bankotsu is going to step forward with the left foot then Kagome you’re going to step back with the right foot.” I did as instructed and then counted to three in my head. “Okay so now he’s going to take his right foot and step sideways to the right and you’re going to take your left foot and step sideways to the left and then 1, 2, 3...”

Sesshomaru’s POV

I thought I was hearing things when Izayoi had called and asked if I wanted to have dinner with her, Inu Yasha, and old friend of the family Kagome Higurashi who, was going to have the mutt try and help her with her dance steps... I politely turned down the offer knowing two things for sure. That person was testing my patience ignoring me like I was some normal person, and the even scarier knowledge that I actually wanted her presence. There was an unpleasant feeling in my chest knowing she was avoiding me, that I hadn’t felt before.

I sighed in disgust as I leaned against the wall outside the ballroom watching them dance through the cracked open door. I hadn’t originally planned on coming. The original plan was just to take my motorcycle out for a little drive, but I ended up here. She was improving she hadn’t stepped on the half breeds toe’s and she was getting all the steps but it still was greatly lacking something.

“They make a cute couple don‘t you think Sesshomaru” Izayoi asked as she leaned against the opposite wall.

“Hn”

“I thought it odd when you turned down the offer for dinner. I thought it was even odder the way Kagome reacted; when I mentioned that you should teach her how to do that dance. It’s starting to make sense”

“I assure you that your simply over thinking things Izayoi,” I said trying to sound convincing. However I wasn’t so sure to whom I was actually trying to convince of this.

“Am I?” she smiled brightly as she pushed herself off the wall. “We shall see.” she turned and walked off.

Kagome’s POV

There was a loud pounding coming from the door, so I paused the movie and went to answer it. “Hello?” I opened the door and Sesshomaru glared down at me.

“Sesshomaru?” I asked hoarsely.

“At least have the manors to invite me in.” He was wearing a white button down shirt and black slacks with his hair hanging down freely around him. I stood aside, and gestured for him to enter.

I closed the door after he came in. “I don‘t mean to be rude, but what are you doing here?”

He sniffed the air and looked at me again. “All alone?”

I stiffened. “Okay, now I don‘t care how it sounds, Sesshomaru. What the fuck are you doing here?!” I demanded.

Sesshomaru chuckled as he pushed me against the wall, before lightly nibbling on my bottom lip, sucking on it. His hands moved to my sides, and were they gently rubbing them causing me to moan. Giving him the opportunity to slide his tongue against mine sending electric sparks off all throughout my body. He thoroughly kissed me until we broke apart for air. “I‘m not letting you run anymore.” He used one hand to cup my ass as the other one lifted my legs to wrap around his waist.

“I’m not running,” I whispered against his lips as he carried me into my bedroom and tossed me onto my bed. Quickly he crawled on top of me keeping me from escaping, as his hair created a curtain as it spilled around me. I moan as he moved his mouth to my neck, and eagerly sucked on the exposed skin right at my pulse. His hands eagerly explored running up and down my body causing me to ache where ever his skin made contact with mine.

He pulled away from my neck and stared down at me with a toothy grin plastered on his face. “Liar.” He bent down capturing my lips with his yet again drowning me in pure bliss.

Sango opened my bedroom door and threw one of her slippers at me. “Kagome wake your dumb ass up, the weekend has come and gone. Now it’s time for all good little future Anna Freud’s of the world to stop moaning in their dreams and get up for class!” She yelled

I shot up from my bed blushing as I chucked her slipper back at her retreating form. ‘Damn it all’ it was becoming very annoying to have the person who I’ve successfully been able to avoid all last week during my wakening hours, thanks to a mixture of Jakotsu, Inu Yasha and Shippo, but who the hell am I suppose to have blocking him in my dreams!

Sango had already taken off to go meet with Miroku and have breakfast with him. I quick hoped into the shower, and bathed away the stress and the very unwelcome feeling between my legs. I growled at my own stupidity “Not enough cold water in the world.” I toweled off and quickly ran into my room getting ready, grabbing my school stuff and the keys to my car. I quickly drove to the school, and scampered my way to class.

“Listen Britt you lying bitch you better be there tonight!” I knew the guy who was being an ass. It was the same guy who had stormed out of dance rehearsal last Monday. What was his name again? Oni…Onigam….

“I‘m really sorry Onigumo it’s just the deadline for the article I was writing was up and they needed it so they could print.” A light brown skinned girl pleaded.

“‘Onigumo!’ That’s what his name was!”

Her shoulder length dark brown shiny hair was pulled into a pony tail, but I still recognized her. She was the girl that had been kind enough to show me to Shaw’s class the first day, when no one else would come near me. What was her name again? I think he just called her Britt, Now that I think of it she never gave me her name. Onigumo went to reach for her again and she was already flinching.

I quickly walked over to the couple. “Oh my god, hey you it’s been so long what happened I thought we were supposed to do that thing.” I looped my arm with hers and her eyes widened in shock.

“Oh yah” she bonked her head playing along. “You know me I‘m such a scatter brain.”

“Well that’s just plain unacceptable you’re just going to have to owe me.” I plastered a big fake smile on my face, and turned to look at Onigumo. “Oh wow is this the guy you where talking about, your totally right he is a stud isn’t he? I‘m just going to borrow her for a sec.” I turned pulling her with me but Onigumo grabbed her other arm, and yanked her back throwing me off balance sending me head first to the ground. The next order of events seamed to happen in a blink of an eye. I sat up, and gently felt my head with my hand. When I pulled it away it was covered in blood. Sesshomaru appeared out of nowhere, and had Onigumo pined to the wall, with his hand around his neck. He barred his teeth snarling at him as his eye‘s started to tint pink.

Britt was at my side holding a handkerchief to my head. I watched in horror as Sesshomaru’s body seamed to shake with anger, as he continued to tighten his hold on Onigumo’s neck.

“Sesshomaru” I called out to him in my best meek and timed voice. I felt kind of dirty playing the weak and defenseless victim to get his attention, so he wouldn’t kill the asshole, but in my current state I really didn’t feel like trying to pry him off of him.

Sesshomaru’s eye’s snapped to me as he released his hold of his throat and came over and kneeled down to my level. Britt had scooted off apparently not wanting to be to near the pink eyed Sesshomaru. Which was a good thing considering as soon as he was, he buried his nose in the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply. When he pulled his face away from my neck, thankfully his eye’s where back to the beautiful golden orbs, that I loved so much. ‘Wait, what, loved?!’ There was a crowd starting to gather.

“Come on!” Sesshomaru stood up, and offered his hand to help me stand up. I stared at it considering my options, as my head thumped away in pain. “You have two choices hear either you let me help you up or I carry you out of here bridal style.”

I grabbed hold of his hand, and let him help me stand up. He slowly led me out of the building. “Where are we going?”

“To take care of your head.” He answered as he turned yet again leading me to the parking lot.

“I DON‘T WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!” I tugged my arm away from him and turned to head back to the school. “I fucking hate hospitals, I‘m not going!” I screeched as I was lifted into Sesshomaru’s arms, bridal style just like he had warned, and walked over to a big black SUV.

“I promise you I‘m not taking you to the hospital.” He calmly promised.

“What the hell? Are all of your cars black?” I questioned as he pushed the button to unlock the door on his key, and then opened the door and set me in the front passenger seat. He grabbed the seatbelt and buckled me in before shutting the door, and hopping in on the other side. “If where not going to the hospital where are you taking me? And how many damn cars do you have any ways?!” I demanded to know.

“Your faced with another set of choices woman, either I take you to home, and you let me take care of your head, or I go back in there and kill Onigumo, your choice.” he put the key’s in the ignition and started the car.

My heart was beating wildly away in my chest as I stared at the man; I was working so hard to stay away from. Yet he kept showing up, being there for me, god now he was even doing it in my dreams.

“Well?” he asked.

“I‘m thinking!” I managed to squeak out. I weighed my options and tried to decide if Sesshomaru would really make good on his words.
