I'm so sorry for getting this in so late, but I have a good excuse, really I do.

You see…I decided to move to Canada…except I can't speak French…didn't turn out too well.

Okay, I'm lying. But you love me anyway; I bring you good stories, with 5 chapters!!

Seriously though, I've just been stressed out with school, family, and friends, and haven't had the time to post. Please forgive me and I'll have chapters popping out like a baby every 10 seconds…that would really hurt --;

“Now how about we talk about your school, hmm?” Sachiko said, placing her mug down on the table.

Feeling the tension rise, Kagome and Sachiko chatted, talking about high school, grades, parents, work, and anything and everything, other than Sesshomaru. As it turns out Sachiko isn't a bad person, and over all she was happy with her decision to come and talk with her.

Chapter Fifteen -Festival

Dressing in form fitting blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt, Kagome left the house, much to her dismay, around five. She was more then eager to see the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival, even if she had to wake up a bit earlier than usual. Yesterday, she explained to her mother that she was taking Rin, leaving out the part about Sesshomaru coming along, to the festival and more than likely be back until late that evening.

Arriving at Sesshomaru's house she grabbed her purse and the mug of tea she made before she left and quickly locked her car door. Sesshomaru decided it would be easier to take one car rather then two. Knocking on the door she was surprised to find a hyper Rin answer the door, followed by an amused Sesshomaru.

“I made the mistake of giving her a sip of my coffee this morning.” Sesshomaru said exiting the house and locking the door behind him.

Walking towards his Lexus RX he unlocked the door and strapped a bouncing Rin, who was currently singing a song about gum drops and rain, into her car seat.

“She got this hyper off of one sip?” Kagome questioned.

Shaking his head he snickered, “One sip turned into three and three turned into seven and you get the picture.”

Kagome nodded and smiled at the energized little girl and then back to Sesshomaru. “You look nice.” She complemented his dark jeans and dark blue polo shirt; His long hair pulled back delicately in a long braid that fell to the middle of his back.

“As do you,” he stated taking his hazel eyes off the road to look her over once more. Blushing, she playfully pushed him, “Eyes on the road mister.”

Staring at her for another second he turned his eyes reluctantly to the road. About thirty minutes into the ride they hit heavy traffic. “Looks like it will take an hour with this traffic.” Sesshomaru said irritably.

“It's ok how about we play a game to pass time by?” Kagome asked her two car companions.

“YAY LET'S PLAY A GAME,” screeched Rin from the back.

“Ok we go around the car and -“

“I'm playing?” Sesshomaru asked irritated.

She smiled and batted her eyes. “Of course.”

“Ok we go around the car and the whenever it's your turn you're gonna say `My father went to the store and bought whatever you want.' Then the next person says the same thing, but you have to remember what the last person said. You get it?” She questioned the little girl in the back who she shook her head remorsefully. “Ok Sesshomaru?”

He shrugged, uninterested into the game. Sighing Kagome tried to figure a way for the girl to understand. “Ok let me show you, my father went to the store and bought pickles. Now it's Sesshomaru's turn.”

Shaking his head he kept moving along the slow traffic. “Come on Sesshomaru.” Kagome urged him.

“No.” He stated.

Pouting Kagome begged until he relented. “Ok starting over my father went to the store and bought pickles.”

“My father went to the store and bought pickles and pears.” Sesshomaru said.

“Ok Rin now it's your turn and you have to say what Sesshomaru and I said and you can add your own, get it now?”

Smiling Rin nodded. “My father went to the store and bought pickles, pears, and,” she paused to think, “coffee!” she finished.

After thirty minutes of playing, Rin grew tired; obviously the coffee had worn her out, and fell asleep and didn't wake up until they arrived at the Suwa Shrine.

After Rin was out of her car seat, she started jumping up and down at the sound of the loud drums and crowd of people crowding the shrine.

“You excited sweetie?” asked Kagome, taking the child's hand so she wouldn't get lost.

Rin nodded and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand so she could swing.

Pushing their way through the crowd and trying to calm Rin down, who had obviously got all her energy back, Sesshomaru handed his tickets to some man and found their seats.

Rin sat in the middle and pointed at the large dragon that danced in the middle of the shrine. Kagome laughed excited about being so close to the show for the first time.

“Sesshomaru, how in the world did you manage to get these tickets?” she questioned in awe. The Nagasaki Kunchi Festival was a huge festival that many people from all over the world came to see and the price they were asking to sit in the shrine were outrageous. Sesshomaru must have spent a large sum of money on her ticket alone.

“My father,” He said reaching for Kagome's hand from behind an unsuspecting Rin. “He gave me the tickets a while back and I was planning to take Sachiko, but I found someone I'd much rather want to spend the day with.”

Kagome met his eyes and blushed then turned to look back to the show, not letting go of his hand. Around two, Rin started to complain about being hungry and Sesshomaru and Kagome agreed to leave in search for food.

Exiting the mayhem and entering the car, they stopped at an expensive Tempura (1) restaurant outside the festival grounds. Upon entering, Kagome's nose was assaulted with smells of fried food. Slipping her shoes off, she softly ordered Rin to do the same. Sesshomaru saw there was no waitress and assumed it was safe to seat wherever. Pointing to a small booth in the corner he ushered the two towards it.

Kagome was about to sit next to Rin until she complained about only children could sit on the side she was on and obviously the grown-ups sit on the side Sesshomaru was at.

Knowing Rin wasn't being mean, just wanting to be independent, Kagome relented and sat next to Sesshomaru, not that she objected, mind you. Sesshomaru glanced at the menu and decided they all place one large order rather then each get one item for themselves. Kagome could only nod and agree, still looking at the price tags of some of the plates. `That much for one squid?' she thought in awe. `Better be a giant squid.'

Sesshomaru removed the menu from Kagome's hands and shook his head. “Don't worry about the prices.” He stated.

“Yeah,” she said grabbing back the menu. “These prices are outrageous! One plate on this menu would cost me two months allowance.”

“Which is why I'm treating you to a free meal,” Sesshomaru snatched back the menu and placed it on the edge of the table.

“Sesshomaru, how can you afford this? The big plate alone cost's around hundred thousand yen!” Kagome said in disbelief.

“Kagome stop complaining and drink your tea.” Sesshomaru ordered as he saw the waitress approach the table.

“We would like to order the big plate special.” He said handing her the menus. The waitress bowed and left to place the order to the chief.

“Did you wipe your hands yet Rin?” Sesshomaru asked.

Rin nodded, “When's the food going to be here?” she questioned looking around.

“You have to patient and wait.” Kagome chided the girl.

Rin only nodded and continued to look around bored. “Rin what have you been learning in school?” Kagome asked.

She smiled, “I learned how to do calligraphy and in math we're learning multiplication.”

“Wow,” Kagome remarked. “What do you like best?”

“English” She said happily.

“Oh can you say anything yet?”

“I had fun today.” Rin said slowly, sounding each word out.

“Wow, your doing well, when I was your age I had so much trouble in English.”

“Really?” Rin asked, surprised.

“Yep, but I eventually got the hang of it.” Kagome laughed. “How about you Sesshomaru did you ever have trouble in school?”

“Sadly, no” He said smirking.

Kagome sipped her tea, “Come on you had to have a little bit of trouble in some subject.” Sesshomaru smirked if possible widened. “That's the difference between men and women. Women always have trouble in subjects while men don't.”

Gasping in outrage Kagome smothered the urge to slap that filthy smirk off his face. “Excuse me, than do you mean to tell me that all the boys in your class are passing with flying colors?”

“No, not with flying colors, passing yes.”

“Then enlighten me, who does better in your class men or women, truthfully.” Kagome pressed on.

Sesshomaru gave a look of irritation, now regretting the comment he made. “I would say that both sexes do about the same.”

“Oh please, Rin wouldn't you say that the girls in your class are smarter then the boys?”

Rin nodded her head eagerly.

Sesshomaru let out a frustrated sigh, “you can't use elementary students; they're hardly the same.”

“Fine, I'll drop the subject, but I can't believe you said that Sesshomaru. I mean I expected more from you.” Kagome said not concealing her anger.

Putting his hand on her thigh he gave her a reassuring squeeze, “I apologize for my chauvinism.”

Kagome blushed as his hand traveled up and down on her thigh, sending radar tingles all over her body. “You're forgiven.”

Just then the waitress traveled over to the table with a huge platter of fried delicates. “Would you like another pot of tea?” The older woman asked, grabbing the empty one.

Kagome gave a smile and nodded, as she made Rin's plate then her own. The woman returned and gave a bow as she put the new pot of tea down at the edge.

“Why aren't you eating any squash?” Sesshomaru asked Rin.

“I don't like them.” She said and proceeded to eat everything else on her plate.

“At least eat one.” Kagome interrupted before Sesshomaru could say anything.

Rin pouted, but ate one none the less. She then coughed and proceeded to pout at the nasty taste.

After everyone finished eating, Kagome told Rin they needed to use the restroom before they made their way back home. Sesshomaru took out his wallet and paid the waitress who took his cash and bowed, but before leaving she complemented him. “Your wife and child are beautiful.”

He bellowed out a laugh. “Thank you.” He said not wanting to correct the woman and watched as the waitress went to her other tables.

Kagome returned with Rin and turned her head slightly at him, “Why are you so happy?”

“Oh nothing,” he said picking Rin up and grabbing Kagome's hand.

“Ready to go home?” He asked.

“Not really,” Kagome sighed disappointed, wishing the day would never end. “But if we must.”

OoOoOoOo

Kagome woke up to a loud knocking on her door. “Souta I'm going to kill you, I don't have to wake up for another hour!” She tried to put out the sound with her pillow, but the knocking turned into banging and Kagome opened the door to see a pissed Sango.

Drawing back in surprise she looked at the clock. “Am I late for school?” She asked?

Sango pushed her way into Kagome's room and slammed the door shut.

“What the hell is your problem?” Kagome yelled at her friend.

“My problem?” Sango said laughing, “I thought you were smart, but you proved me wrong.” She said pacing around the room like a rabid dog.

“Sango what are you talking about?” Kagome asked in confusion.

Sango stopped and her eyes locked with Kagome's. “I saw you.”

Kagome's heart stopped. She was getting nervous now. “Saw me what?” Kagome asked hoping she wasn't talking about Sesshomaru.

“You and Mr. Toshrio,” she snarled angrily.

Kagome felt her whole body slump down and her heartbeat started to rise. Her meal from yesterday started to disagree with her stomach. She saw them. They had been so careful. Where, how, when? Her eyes began to tear and she let out a distressed sob.

Sango fell down to her knees and hugged Kagome's body. She had been harsh on the young girl, but she was angry. When she had seen Kagome and Mr. Toshrio together yesterday with that little girl she surprised then disgusted when she saw their linked hands together behind the little girl.

What was Kagome thinking…being with an older man, let alone her teacher? And right there in public too, where anybody could see them. What if somebody else from school had seen the two together? Kagome would be expelled and her family name would be put shame. Mr. Toshrio would lose his job and be charged with child molestation.

“I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't mean to be so harsh.” Sango tried to sooth the crying girl, but that only made the girls hysterics get even louder.

Once Kagome calmed down she lifted her red eyes to Sango's. “I'm so sorry.” She whispered.

“No need to apologize, but do you mind telling me what's going on between you two?”

Kagome nodded, “Let me go wash up real fast.”

When Kagome returned she sighed and sat down on the bed and patted the spot across from her. Sango removed herself from the desk and sat down on the bed.

Kagome fiddled with her skirt, “I don't know where to start.” She blushed slightly and looked away.

OoOoOoOo

Author's Note:

Surprise, I'm alive and the drama begins! I'm so TIRED of people asking me when the trip is so I'm going to say this once, in the next two chapters the trip will begin. No, I will not switch groups so Kagome WILL NOT be in Sesshomaru's group. This is my longest chapter yet!! Go Liz!

Things to Know:

1 - Seafood and vegetables deep fried in tempura batter

Author Pet Peeves: I'm astounded by the number of answers I got with the last pet peeve, some agreed and some disagreed. None the less I enjoyed all them!! ; ) Ok this pet peeve has something to do with girls and women in general. I absolutely HATE when I'm out and you see a girl and you make eye contact and they give you `the look'… you know the one where their looking you up and down, examining what you're wearing and clearly thinking `I'm so much better then you'. I just want to get in a cat fight and rip out every piece of hair that they have in their head. Does that happen with men? I wouldn't know I'm a female, (PROUD OF IT) but I think every girl can relate to what I'm talking about. That's all!!

Next Time:

Sango and Kagome have a serious talk and Kagome has to talk about how their relationship needs to stay indoors from now on and Kagome learns of the groups.
