Last Time:

The door silently shut leaving two people in the room. `Why did she have to leave?' Kagome's mind screamed. Her heart rate increased.

“Well Miss Higurashi,” he started.

Chapter 5 - Apologies

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sesshomaru walked to his desk, sitting down in his chair then glanced towards the empty desk in front of him.

Kagome took the silent request and sat down. Patiently waiting for him to explain why she was in his room, alone, but he just sat there staring at her. God she wished he'd hurry up.

“Miss Higurashi?” He paused trying to figure out what were the best words to use. “I would like to apologize for what happened today at lunch.”

“No, I wasn't watching where I was going, please forgive me.” She interjected.

Irritation etched on his face, she could clearly see that she was supposed to accept the apology and leave.

“Listen Miss Higurashi, I'm new to this apologizing stuff, but from what I hear about it, aren't you supposed to say that you forgive me?” He teased.

“Well yes, that's only if I believe that you were wrong. Which I don't, accidents like that happen.” She waved him off.

“At least allow me to pay for the shirt that was ruined, since you won't accept my apology.” He replied somewhat teasingly.

Knowing she had no choice in this matter she merely nodded and told him the shirt cost around 20 dollars.

He searched her face for any sign of deception. “You're not lying to me are you Miss Higurashi?”

Kagome paled. She only gave him half the price of the original shirt. She couldn't take that much money from him, no matter what, it just wouldn't feel right. A part of her screamed to lie to him another yelled to tell the truth. Damn, which one should she listen to?

She put up her hand to heart and gasped.

“Are you trying to call me a liar Mr. Toshrio?” She asked. Her blue-grey eyes widened and showed only disgust and shock.

Sesshomaru simply shock his head. He couldn't believe her. She was not only a liar, but a really bad actress.

“No, not at all.” He said calmly while reaching into his pocket. He decided he wasn't going to pry her for the correct price for the shirt.

Taking the twenty she stuffed it in her back pocket.

“Thank you, Mr. Toshrio. I'll see you tomorrow.” Turning towards the door she grabbed her book bag and exited the room.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Breathing in the fresh air, she walked outside of school with a frown on her face. `I promised Shippo I was going to be there today.'

She walked to her bench and glanced around to see if there was a red head running around anywhere. Unfortunately there was no sign of him. `He probably waited for me to show up.'

Guilt was now nagging her mind.

Instinctively she pulled her arms closer to her, trying to ward off the guilt. `What if he waited for me?' She asked herself.

She waited another ten minutes, wishing that Shippo would careen around the corner and tell her about his day.

Standing up she walked home quietly and called Sango to tell her she was home safely. When she questioned her about what Mr. Toshrio wanted she changed the subject, not really in the mood to think about Mr. Toshrio.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Kagome let out a yawn as she walked into the kitchen. Her hair was messy and looked as if she'd just woken up. Big, furry, blue slippers adorned her feet.

Tying her bath robe tighter to her, she took a seat at the table. “Morning mom.”

“Morning sweetie,” she said placing a kiss on her forehead and a plate of food in front of her. Kagome ate every bite and placed her plate in the sink, where her mom was washing dishes.

“Kagome, could you pick up Souta today after school? I have to work late tonight.”

Nodding she walked upstairs and got dressed into a pair of blue jeans and an red blouse that fell of the shoulders and flared out at the bottom, with red flip flops. She ran a brush through her tangled hair and examined her self in the mirror. `I should put some make-up on today.'

Going into her bathroom she put on eye shadow, mascara and blush. Adding some lip gloss to her plump lips, she went back to her bedroom.

Spraying on her body mist from Victoria's Secret she glanced back at her alarm clock; 7:25. `Oh God I'm going to be late.'

Kagome ran down the stairs and grabbed her book bag by the door. “BYE MOM,” she screamed and shut the door before she could answer.

Parking her car she ran into the school out of breath. She had only three minutes to race to her locker, in the 300 hallway, then to room 234. The question was could she do it? Slipping her flip flops off she raced towards the 300 hallway to throw her things in her locker and grab her history notebook. The late bell had just rung when she barged into history. Mr. Toshrio looked up at the interruption.

All anger was pushed aside by amusement when he saw who it was “Nice of you to join us Miss. Higurashi.” His voice dripped in sarcasm.

“Sorry. It won't happen again.” She stated, and quickly sat herself down in her desk.

He gave a curt nod silently telling her that he was going to let her pass this time. Why was he letting her pass? She's supposed to be disciplined and learn her place in the world, which was below him. But which below did he mean? (1)

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

One word described how Kagome felt at this moment, tired. All she wanted to do was jump into her nice, cushy bed and sleep until tomorrow. But she couldn't, she had go pick Souta up, but then she'd be able to go to sleep.

She walked into the elementary schools, after school office and told the young lady at the desk she needed Souta Higurashi.

Walking outside the office, to allow other parents in, she stood on the wall closing her eyes. `I'll just close my eyes, until the brat comes.'

Feeling a small hand clutch the side of her shirt she opened one eye and looked at an adorable little girl with big brown eyes. She had messy, brown hair in a ponytail that lopped on one side. Bending down to the girl's level she smiled warmly. The girl blushed and looked down.

”Hi, I'm Kagome” her voice was soft and sweet, trying to ease the girl's discomfort. The girl looked up to give her a toothless smile. “Do you have a name sweetie?”

Nodding the girl said. “My name's Rin.”

”That's a pretty name, Rin. What grade are you in?”

”I'm in the first grade. Today I fell and hurt my knee.” Kagome glanced down to where she pointed. Her knee had a Finding Nemo band-aid on it. “Everybody was laughing and making fun of me.” she said, tears shimmering in her eyes.

”That's not very nice.” Kagome said sourly. “One time when I was a bit older then you, I was skating and I had a real pretty skirt on that I always wore. Well, I was going down a really big hill and I started to do jumps. Then out of no where, I feel on the ground and cut my knee just like you.” Rin's eye's, big and round in amazement.

”Want to know the worst part?” She inquired.

”Yes!” The small girl jumped up and down eagerly. “Everybody saw my underwear and started calling me underwear lady.” Rin tried suppressing a giggle, but failed miserably.

Surprised by her laughter, Kagome started to tickle her. “Are you laughing at me?” Rin squealed and laughed even harder then before.
”No, I'm sorry!” She said while giggling, her tiny hands trying to stop Kagome from tickling her.

”What?” Kagome taunted pretending she didn't hear the small child's plea for her to stop.

“I'm sorry!” She yelled again, this time louder. Her hands stopped tickling Rin and ruffled her hair.

”You're good with children.” A deep voice boomed from above her.
No, that couldn't be. Whirling around, she confirmed that it was indeed, Mr. Toshrio.

A pair of faded jeans fit snugly around his nice butt. The white polo shirt made his shoulders seem broad and firm. His white hair was in low ponytail; that showed off his cheek bones and made his skin seem creamy white. `I wonder why I never noticed his butt before.'

“Hi. Mr. Toshrio.” She stood up and dusted off the invisible dirt on her jeans.

`Did he just hear the story she told Rin?' Running a hand through her hair she cleared her throat.

“Umm were you here the whole time?” She asked.

A smirk appeared on his face

“Yes.”

Was it getting hot in here, because she felt as if it was 99 degrees. Why are all these bad things happening to her? She looked back down to see Rin had grabbed a Dora the Explorer book bag and her hand was linked with Mr. Toshrio.

`Is he Rin's father? Does that mean he's married?''

Letting her anger get the best of her she chided him.

“You know it's rude to eavesdrop?”

“I wasn't eavesdropping your voice was too loud and I heard your conversation” He replied hotly, “If you didn't want me to hear it then you should try to keep your voice down.”

“It was not.” She hissed. Looking around she saw realized they were causing a scene.

A child asked his mother what was wrong with the lady, to which she said that the couple were simply having a fight.

`Mr. Toshrio and her...a couple?'

“Kagome? Who's he?” Souta asked from behind her, his eyes gazing up at Sesshomaru, admiration shining brightly in his eyes.

“That's my teacher, Mr. Toshrio. Are you ready to go home?” She quickly changed the subject from Sesshomaru to something else.

Souta nodded and Kagome grabbed his book bag from him.” It was nice meeting you Rin. Maybe we'll meet again.” Rin nodded enthusiastically

“Bye underwear lady.”

Feeling her face heat up, she corrected the child and turned to leave, but stopped when a firm hand clamped down on her shoulder. Her heart beat changed increasingly. Turning around she watched as he slowly bent his head down.

She could smell the different spices and his shampoo. `He must have taken a shower. I wonder what he looks like in- Oh god I can't believe I just thought that.”

She returned her attention on the man who was to close for comfort to her.

“You should blush more often, it's cute when you do.” his hot breath tickling her ear, the huskiness of his voice sent a shiver of desire down her spine.

Blinking she realized he was already walking off towards the opposite direction she was supposed to go in.

Watching a little longer, she looked at each long leg move gracefully across the floor. The way the jeans fit snugly, and made his butt look nice and firm. It was just something about that man's rear that made her feel hot and excited.

Exiting the school she listened to Souta complain about homework, but drifted off when she thought about Mr. Toshrio's hot breath on her ear and him in the shower naked.

If only she was older then maybe she and Mr. Toshrio could have something going on. Smiling she thought of all the things she would do to him if she was older, starting in the shower.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Walking into his home, Sesshomaru grabbed a bottle of water out the refrigerator. Unscrewing the cap he gulped down the bottle. His tongue felt dry and heavy. He had no idea what possessed him to tease her like he did. She was his student and that made his actions wrong. Here he was dreaming about his student lying in his bed, her raven hair tussled and lips puffy from his intense kisses.

A familiar throb stirred in his cock. This was getting too familiar. He would get all excited and then end up taking a long cold shower or getting comfy with his hand. If only she was older then he could show her things that she never imagined she could do.

He walked into his office and graded a couple of papers. The telephone rang and he reached over to answer.

“Hello?”

“Sesshomaru? This is Maggie, Rin's babysitter.”

“Yes, I know who you are.” He replied.

“Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch Rin tomorrow. Something important just came up and I'm afraid I have to fly to the states for an awhile.” Her voice quivered.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose.

He was counting on her this Friday. “That's fine Maggie. Are you ok?” He asked concern laced in with his voice.

A sob broke through the phone. “Ye-yes I'll be ok. Good night Mr. Toshrio.” Then abruptly hung up the phone.

How was he supposed to find another babysitter on such short notice? He guessed he would just have to cancel his date. Rin was much more important then some woman he barely knows.

During the divorce with her mother, he won full custody over her. To this day he never regretted what happened between her mother and him. It happened six years ago, he and her mother had started dating.

After year of dating, they both decided it was time to go all the way. Two weeks later she's sobbing historically, saying her parents kicked her out because she was pregnant with a bastard's child.

It took awhile for him to convince her not to have an abortion, nine months later she'd gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Rin.

He had just turned sixteen when they married; they had decided it was best for Rin. After a year of disagreements they both agreed that a divorce was best. She had dreams of becoming a singer while he had dreams of taking over his fathers company.

Everyday when he looked at Rin he thanked the gods for giving her to him. She was his everything, but as he watched her grow he realized something was missing, a mother for Rin, and a wife for him.

For the past two months he had begun dating women again, but each one of them only seemed good for one thing. Sex. He wanted more then that.

He needed somebody to love both him and Rin. Somebody who didn't care that he'd already had a child and had been married. All the women seem distant after he tells them he had a beautiful, six year old daughter waiting for him at home.

He was ready to settle down and have a family of his own, but now, he was beginning to think that would never happen.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

The lights in his class were already on when he entered. `I thought I turned them off yesterday.'

“Morning Mr. Toshrio,” A melodic voice came from behind. He should have known.

Not bothering to look at her, he replied hesitantly. “Miss Higurashi.”
For him, it was a little too early in the morning to get his friend excited. Why was she here this early?

“What brings you here so early?” he asked looking up at her.

Her hair was in long curls cascaded down her shoulders and a pair of light pink capris hung low on her hips. The white tank top barley covered her midriff.

Ignoring his question she asked one that nagged her all night. “So, Rin's your daughter?” She didn't bother hiding the jealousy in her voice.

His lips curved into a faint smile. “Yes, Rin's mother and I divorced three years ago and I received full custody of her.”

Her cheeks turned pink, than she mumbled something under her breath.

“What was that?” he asked not quite sure if he heard her correctly.

Taking a deep breath she repeated herself

“I'm sorry, that was rude of me.”

“Yes, it was rude. I'll tell you what, if you do me a favor, I'll let it go.”

After a few minutes of thinking her voice came “What is it?”

“I need you to baby sit Rin tonight.”

Her eyes sparkled at his request. “I would love to she's so adorable.”

Ripping a piece of paper out of her binder she wrote down her number.

“Here, um just call me tonight for directions.” Folding the piece of paper he gave her a smile that would make any girl melt.

They couldn't have a relationship but he could certainly still flirt with her.

Sesshomaru had a feeling this year was going to be a long, stressful one with Miss Higurashi by his side.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Ok I am finished with this chapter! FINALLY! I'm going to start on the next chapter later!

(1) He was thinking about Kagome in his cough bed.

Things to remember:

Age difference

Sesshomaru hardly apologizes.

Refers to Kagome as Miss Higurashi.

Rin has a mother, but that's all we know so far.
