Last time: Kagome was jerked out of her thoughts by a soft yet stern voice. “Wench why is it that you are crying?”
Kagome stiffened at that voice. She knew who that belonged to. She slowly turned praying that it wasn't who she thought it was. Sadly it was. It was Sesshomaru.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome stared in awe at the god in front of her. The sun was setting behind him giving off an angelic glow to the creature standing in before her. And the breeze played softly with his hair causing it to dance across his face ever so slightly. He was just too perfect she decided.
Sesshomaru watched her carefully watching as fear, admiration, and even lust traveled across her face. This went on far too long for his pleasure so with a slight growl of annoyance he quickly shot out his arm and grabbed her around the throat.
“Wench you will answer my question or I will kill you on this very spot before you could even scream for the half-breed!” giving a slight squeeze to the neck in his grasp to get his point across. Seeing her eyes widen slightly in fear she nodded as best as she could in his death grip. He let go of the miko and watched impatiently as she fell to the ground with a thud and a slight `humph.'
Kagome was glad to have gotten rid of the pressure around her neck. Sighing softly in defeat she glanced once to the demon lord in front of her before stating her tale. She told Sesshomaru everything from Mistress Centipede pulling her down the well to falling in love with his brother and inviting him to the prom to the last scene she witnessed between Inuyasha and Kikyo.
Quietly finishing her tale she sat awaiting his judgment. She wasn't quite sure what compelled her to tell him everything but at the moment she could really care less if she lived or died. She just wanted to get away from the pain that she felt.
~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru digested this information. It did explain her rebellious behavior and her clothing, not that he was complaining about it that moment. He enjoyed the view that her short kimono gave off. Quickly he pushed that thought away. He would not succumb to such desires as his father and bastard of a brother had.
He turned his thoughts back to the information the miko had just given him. He wanted to see this time that she spoke of and learn its ways. Settling on this thought he opened his mouth to order the wench to take him to her time when she beat him to it.
~*~*~*~*~*~
As Kagome sat awaiting his judgment she let her mind wander to what her friends in her era would say when they found out that she couldn't go to prom anymore as her “boyfriend” as they referred to him had cheated on her, or as she saw it betrayal.
She then moved her thoughts to other guys she knew wondering if she could take them. She really did want to go as she hadn't had much of a social life the past three years. She first thought of Koga but instantly scratched that idea. He was just too rough to put it lightly and she could see him messing it up. Hojo was still a no-no as she would just be plain bored and she wanted it to be a special night.
She then moved on to Miroku but pushed that aside as he would most likely go up to every single woman asking her to bear his child and probably drooling all over the place over the designs of the dresses that the girls would be wearing. That only left one option Sesshomaru.
He was very good looking and would more than likely be a perfect gentleman. Even though he was the Ice Prince he seemed to be her only option at the moment. And she was pretty sure that he would like to see her era. She just had to make him promise not to injure or kill anyone. So against her better judgment she turned to him and asked him the question that had shocked the demon lord into speechlessness.
“Sesshomaru-sama would you travel to my era and go to the prom with me?” Kagome couldn't stop the hopeful note out of her voice. She prayed that he would say yes. She actually found herself looking forward to spending an evening with him even if he wasn't much of a conversationalist.
~*~*~*~*~*~
For the first time in his life Sesshomaru was shocked speechless. Was this little ningen wench that stupid? She had barely encountered him over the past three years and if she did it was in the heat of battle. He decided that she must be out of her mind to invite him but it did save him from ordering her to take him and he knew that she would cooperate easier since she was the one that had invited him. Though he did not look forward to this prom thingy that she mentioned but if it was the only way to get her to agree then he would.
“Very well ningen. I will travel to your time to explore and learn its ways and in exchange for you teaching me I will attend this festival of sorts with you.”
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was shocked. He agreed? He had agreed! She couldn't stop a sigh of relief. She was almost afraid that he would kill her for even suggesting a thing like that. Even though she wanted to get rid of the pain she knew death was not the answer and that she would move on. She would just need some time. Quietly deciding on some things she turned to speak to him about traveling to her time.
“Okay Sesshomaru-sama. Um you'll have to meet me back here at the well in two weeks. There are some things that we'll have to get you before prom and it'd probably be better if you got used to the sights and sounds and smells before hand anyways.”
Sesshomaru briefly nodded at her before calling for his youkai cloud and taking to the sky. Kagome watched him leave and couldn't believe the situation she had gotten herself into. She was going to take the Ice Prince himself to a formal affair in her time. She could only hope that it would all turn out for the better. She would have to make him promise not to attack anyone so with a small sigh she took one last look at his retreating figure before leaping into the well. She still did need some time to sort out the Inuyasah and Kikyo situation and the newest development in her life.
