Ch. 3 Under Pressure
Once she was done with that book she moved on to the next one and kept going until the entire pile was lined up on the desk. There were about 4 books that had lots of posit notes and the rest had nothing. Kagome put the nothing ones back and took the 4 up to her room with her.
“Uhh…” said Kagome wandering into her bedroom. She dropped her books on the table in front of her couch and wandered to the bathroom. She shut both doors and got ready for bed. When she was done she opened the door to her room first then the door to Sesshoumaru's room seeing if he was still awake.
When she saw that his desk light was on she started to turn around when something grabbed her and pulled her against its chest. She knew by the chest that it was Sesshoumaru. Soon she realized she was moving to the bed and being plopped on it. Then she saw red eyes glowing and she was shoved on the bed hard and she flipped her head back over the edge of the bed only to see another set of red eyes coming right from her in the opposite direction and she heard growls like a pack of dogs attacking each other. Kagome screamed and sat up. She realized that she was still in the office and she had the 4 books in her hand the rest had disappeared.
She looked around and all of a sudden the door to the study opened and she was being pressed up against a firm body.
“Are you ok Kagome” asked Sesshoumaru. “Yeah sorry about that I had a bad dream” said Kagome grabbing the 4 books. “You sure you're ok” asked Sesshoumaru. “Yeah just fine” said Kagome getting worried.
Once they reached Kagome's bedroom and walked inside and Kagome set her books down Sesshoumaru couldn't stand it any longer he picked Kagome up and carried her to his room and sat on his bed putting her on his lap. He crossed his arms over her body and realized she was shaking.
“What's wrong Kagome” asked Sesshoumaru. “It's nothing” said Kagome. “You sure” asked Sesshoumaru.
“Yeah, you wouldn't understand anyway” said Kagome. `Im under too much pressure I want to choose Sesshoumaru I knew him longer but I don't know what this Inuyasha is like and I don't want to have to break one of there hearts, I would hate to break Sesshoumaru's it would kill me inside, but I can't get out of this, and it's turning spring quick I checked the dates in exactly 2 weeks spring will be here' thought Kagome and all of a sudden a sob racked her body that came out of nowhere.
She turned around in Sesshoumaru's arms and buried her face in his hair next to his neck and cried. She cried tears for her troubles, her grief's, her families death, the fact that she didn't deserve a friend like Sesshoumaru and most of all that she wasn't worthy of their love.
Kagome continued to cry until she was all out of tears, her face was puffy and raw and she was too tired to keep her eyes open. Kagome fell asleep like that on Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Once Sesshoumaru heard her light snoring he knew it was safe. He stood up holding Kagome bridal style with one arm and moved the sheets across his bed and laid her down there. Then he covered her up and went to the other side. Sesshoumaru kissed her forehead and rolled over. This would be a long night of wondering for Sesshoumaru. Kagome opened her eyes as she felt the sun hit her face. For a second she didn't remember how she had gotten in Sesshoumaru's room or in his bed for that matter. But all she knew is that her cheeks hurt, bad. She got up and walked to the bathroom and started a bath. She looked in the mirror, she looked like a wreck her face was red a puffy, pieces of hair were stuck to her face, and worst of all she felt sick from all the crying. She pealed her clothing off and got into the bath not bothering to close the curtain all the way only so it covered her body but not her head.
Kagome sighed as she rested her head up against the wall of the bathtub. `Why do things have to be like this, why can't I live a normal life, why can't my mother come back, and I have 2 weeks not enough time, I don't want to break any of them, why dose this happen to me' wondered Kagome.
Kagome started to tear up again but the tears did not fall for she didn't have any more tears left to let fall after all that crying last night. `Mental note thank Sesshoumaru' Kagome giggled at this imagining the look on his face when she started crying. When Kagome got out she wrapped herself in a towel and walked into her room. She set her PJ's down, grabbed a book and walked out of her room she was too lazy to get changed and she didn't care that there were to men in the house.
When Kagome walked downstairs she saw Inuyasha in the same spot she saw him in the morning before drinking coffee. Kagome walked over and stole his coffee and sat down in the recliner setting the book next to her. She looked up at Inuyasha who at this point was staring at her practically drooling.
“What I said you were going to make me coffee” said Kagome smiling. “Kago… uhh Kagome your dressed in a towel” said Sesshoumaru as he walked down the stairs. “So” said Kagome smiling.
Sesshoumaru shook his head and walked to the study. Kagome flipped open her book and started reading. She read about InuTashio the previous lord of the western lands back in feudal Japan and his wife who once matted became immortal. She also learned about being a dog demons wife. First once you had their crest you were immortal. Second that you could marry 2 dog demons at once and bear both there marks they just had to agree to share you `hey that could be my answer' thought Kagome smiling. Third that dog demons are very protective of there wives and children and will risk there life to protect them. After Kagome was done with that book she walked to the library where Sesshoumaru sat reading and she put the book back.
“Hey Sesshy what are you doing” asked Kagome. “Reading and distributing money” said Sesshoumaru. “Hey can I ask you a favor” said Kagome smiling. “Hmm…” asked Sesshoumaru. “Could I borrow some money for tonight with Sango I want to take her to a spa and well Im kinda… broke” said Kagome smirking. “Sure” said Sesshoumaru.
He pulled out a wallet out of nowhere and grabbed a 500 dollar bill out of it and 2 100s. “That enough” asked Sesshoumaru. “I don't need this much but yeah here you take the two 100s back” said Kagome. “No you keep it buy yourself something nice” said Sesshoumaru.
“You sure” asked Kagome. “Yes” said Sesshoumaru nodding. “Thanks” said Kagome as she walked out of the study.
`Holy crap 700 dollars Im beginning to like living here' thought Kagome with a smile.
Kagome glanced at the clock and it read 12 am so Kagome walked up to her room and flipped open her cell phone and hit speed dial.
“Hey Sango do you have any idea what we are gonna do tonight” asked Kagome. “Well I was thinking movie night but what do you have in mind” asked Sango.
“It's a surprise but can you come over now” asked Kagome. “Sure over at the Tashio manner” asked Sango. “Yeah” said Kagome. “Ok I'll be over in 20 minutes” said Sango. “Ok just come in your PJ's” said Kagome. “Sure” said Sango. “Bye” said Kagome. “Bye” said Sango hanging up the phone.
Kagome just smirked and pulled out a brown tank top with forest green silky sleep pants and put them on tying her now partly dry hair in a messy bun on top of her head. Then she climbed down the stairs already formulating a plan in her head for tonight. She sat on the couch next to Inuyasha and somehow fell asleep. She awoke to a knock at the door and looked up to see Inuyasha staring at her. She mumbled an incoherent sorry and walked to get the door. Sesshoumaru beat her too it and opened it as she was reaching for the doorknob. When the door was open she saw Sango standing there looking in. “Sango” screamed Kagome.
“Kagome” screamed Sango and they met in the middle of the door for a hug. “It's been far too long” said Sango. “Yeah it has” said Kagome breaking apart from the hug. “Kagome are you ok your face is red” asked Sango. “Oh yeah Im fine don't worry about it” said Kagome.
They walked in and Sango dropped her jaw.
“Oh that's right you've never been in here before have you” asked Kagome. Sango just shook her head no not being able to form words.
“Hey Kagome who is it” asked Inuyasha. “Oh that's right I had a friend come over her name is Sango, come on Sango I have to introduce you to someone” said Kagome dragging the gawking Sango to the couch.
“This is Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru's half brother” said Kagome pointing at Inuyasha who at this point was staring at Kagome like she was an idiot. “Hi” said Sango. “Hey” said Inuyasha looking at the television. “He's a bit cranky in the morning” said Kagome giggling.
“Feh” said Inuyasha. Kagome took Sango up to her room and showed her around. After the tour was done Sango couldn't form words.
“I just have one thing to say” said Sango. “And that would be” asked Kagome. “How did you get this lucky” asked Sango. “I don't know” said Kagome laughing. She took Sango back down to the living room and into the study. “Hey Sango you remember Sesshoumaru” said Kagome.
“Yeah what's up” said Sango. “Mhm” said Sesshoumaru. “That means nothing, what time did you get up this morning” asked Kagome. “6:00” said Sesshoumaru.
“How are you so quiet in the morning I practically wake the entire house I couldn't tell you were up” said Kagome. “Practice” said Sesshoumaru. “Oh” said Kagome dragging Sango out of the study. “Ok so you ready for your surprise now” asked Kagome.
“Yeah and I would really like to know why you made me wear my PJ's over here” asked Sango.
“Well you will understand the PJ thing when I tell you the surprise” said Kagome. “What is the surprise” asked Sango. “An all expenses paid trip to a spa” said Kagome.
“Are you serious” asked Sango. “Yep” said Kagome. “You're the best friend ever” said Sango giving Kagome a huge hug. “I know let's go I will even let you pick the car” said Kagome.
“Umm ok” said Sango `how hard can that be it isn't like they have hundreds of cars' thought Sango smirking. When Sango got to the garage she found she was dead wrong every car made was in that garage in every color possible.
“Oh my god there had to be over 990 billion dollars in here” said Sango. “Yep which one do you want to go in” asked Kagome.
Sango picked a purple viper convertible. “Were actually going in our PJ's to a spa” asked Sango. “Yeah but hold on stay here” said Kagome.
Kagome ran in the house and into the study and found Sesshoumaru there. “Hey do you have the key to the purple viper convertible” asked Kagome. “Mhm” said Sesshoumaru pulling a key out of nowhere and handing it to Kagome.
“Thanks so much for this Sesshoumaru” said Kagome walking over and sitting on his lap kissing him tongue and all. “Your welcome” said Sesshoumaru after the kiss broke apart.
Kagome jetted to the garage and plopped in the car. “Kagome what happened your lip gloss is smeared” said Sango getting a smile on her face. “Oopse I forgot I was wearing any” said Kagome. `Peach' wondered Sesshoumaru licking his lips.
Kagome started the car and maneuvered her way out of the garage and got on the road. When they got to the spa Sango was amazed that Kagome knew where it was because it was in the middle of nowhere.
“Sesshoumaru gave me a gift card here once I got so lost trying to find it” said Kagome. “Funny” said Sango getting out of the car with Kagome following close behind. “Now whatever you do let me do the talking” said Kagome. Sango nodded and they walked in.
“Excuse me do you have an appointment” asked the man behind the desk. “No Im sorry did I need one” asked Kagome as sweetly as possible. “Yes miss Im sorry would you like to make one” asked the man. “No Im sorry I live with Tashio as in Sesshoumaru Tashio” said Kagome.
The man's eyes got as wide as saucers. “Im terribly sorry miss what would you like today” he asked. “Can we see a booklet” asked Kagome. “Yes miss” said the man handing Kagome a booklet.
Sango and Kagome sat down and looked through it. “Get anything you want my treat” said Kagome. “You sure, how did you do that” asked Sango.
“Tashio is a very important family and because of that they are known to may people and most businesses and all you need to do is flash the name and you can get in pretty much anywhere, and yes Im sure Sesshy gave me a little tip” said Kagome. “Thanks” said Sango.
“Pick three things that you want to do” said Kagome. “Are you sure you have enough money I mean that has to be a lot” said Sango. “Just put it this way I can get whatever I want as long as I live under their roof so if you ever need any money like when you get married to that perv then Im your girl” said Kagome laughing as Sango's face went beat red.
“Hey” said Sango laughing. Sango picked manicure, hot stone massage, and sea salt bath. Kagome picked scalp massage, hand and foot rub, and a body wrap. When they gave the list to the man he made a list for them of the times they were to do each thing. After he made the list Kagome handed him a 20 for tip.
“Oh my god you just tipped him a 20” said Sango. “So” said Kagome. “I love you best buddy, what first” asked Sango.
“The sea salt bath and at the same time they will do the hand and foot rub in room B34” said Kagome.
When they got there they found that the baths were already set up and they quickly got undressed and slid into them. Then 2 girls came in and started to do there hands and feet. After about 20 minutes the girls left and Sango and Kagome talked.
“So are you having fun” asked Kagome. “Yeah thanks for taking me out today to tell you the truth I've been kind of stressed about seeing Miroku again I mean we use to be so good of friends but I bet he's married and has kids by now knowing him” said Sango. “No probably not” said Kagome.
“Why do you say that” asked Sango. “Because you seemed to be the only one that could put up with his pervness” said Kagome. “I guess you have a point, oh and he called saying to get on the next flight not the one at 6 but the one at 9” said Sango.
“I wonder why” asked Kagome. “He says he has a surprise for me but needs a few more hours to prepare for it” said Sango. “Ah… make sure when you get there to call me and tell me you made it safe and to update me” said Kagome.
“I will don't worry” said Sango. They got out and showered off then put there clothing back on. “Ok next the body wraps in B29” said Kagome. Kagome and Sango walked into the room and got wrapped up.
They once again had a long amount of time to talk. “So what about you Kagome I mean I haven't talked to you in awhile what's going on in your life” asked Sango.
“Well as you know both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are trying to date me and I found out the real reason why during some of my research on dog demons. Yes they both do like me it's not that it's just spring is coming up and it's mating season for dog demons. They don't want to endanger my life so one of them needs to claim me or they might hurt me. They are like that all spring and your not gonna be around to save me” said Kagome with puppy eyes.
“Aww… sorry honey but if you really need to get away from all that you could always take a plane down to me and Miroku” said Sango. “No I couldn't bother you if that happened I would find a hotel” said Kagome.
“Im living there and that's pretty much it” said Kagome. “That sounds interesting I've been trying to balance work and my personal time and I quit a week ago when I decided I needed to go see Miroku because I can't be laid off for a month. So I quit and Im happy I hated that job plus Im hoping I can help Miroku, he owns a club now” said Sango.
“That should be fun” said Kagome. The spa people came in and took off the wraps and lead them right to there massage.
First they got there scalps massaged and then there bodies. After they were all massaged the people took them to a manicure station. Kagome and Sango both decided on a traditional French manicure. Once they got their nails done and they were sure they dried they went back up to the desk and added up the costs. $25 for the bath, $25 for the hand and foot rub, $70 for the body wraps, $25 for a scalp massage, $150 for the hot stone massage, and $50 for the manicure, and that was for one person. Kagome doubled it and it came out to $680. “Hey we still have 20 bucks left” said Kagome.
“Really” asked Sango. “Yeah were gonna use it thought let's see its 5pm let's get home I have an idea” said Kagome.
They paid and got in the car. When they arrived home Kagome explained that they had to take a shower because demons noses are sensitive and the smell would knock them out. So they ran upstairs and started the water for the bath and a person followed them down the hallway spraying something to get rid of the scent of the spa. They both undressed making sure to spay their clothing and as soon as the smell on them was there it was gone.
They took a bath making sure to wash every little part of their bodies until they smelled only soap. Once they were done they both got back into their clothing and drained the tub spraying the entire room. They walked downstairs and flopped on the couch laughing.
“What's so funny” asked Inuyasha walking out of the kitchen. “Nothing” said Kagome. “Whatever” said Inuyasha sitting down next to her? “Where's Sesshoumaru” asked Kagome. “Study” said Inuyasha.
“Thanks” said Kagome skipping off to find Sesshoumaru with Sango close behind. When they got to the study they saw Sesshoumaru at the same desk with the same amount of paperwork on it.
“Hey Kagome Im gonna explore the shelves and shelves of books” said Sango with a weird look on her face as she walked around the shelves.
Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru and sat down on his lap interrupting him from any of the paperwork he was doing.
“Hmm…” asked Sesshoumaru picking his head up and kissing Kagome so she leaned up against the desk.
Their tongues were in the middle of a heated battle when Sesshoumaru felt a pair of eyes on them. He opened his eyes to see Sango was staring at them trying not to laugh, breath, or say anything Sesshoumaru just rolled his eyes and went right on kissing Kagome. After a couple more seconds Sango walked away and Sesshoumaru broke the kiss.
“I was gonna ask what you were doin but never mind” said Kagome.
“The same thing as earlier” said Sesshoumaru. “I just wanted to ask if we could use on demand tonight” asked Kagome.
“That would be fine” said Sesshoumaru. “Thanks” said Kagome kissing him lightly and getting off his lap to go find Sango.
She found her a few rows over grinning like an idiot. “What” asked Kagome? “You guys are really good for each other” said Sango.
“Come on let's get some dinner then I have a surprise for you” said Kagome dragging Sango out of the study. They walked to the kitchen and as soon as they sat down there meals were served.
