In Your Arms

"Come on, Sessho!" Kagome cried, impatiently. She was standing at the doorway dressed in Sesshomaru's large T-Shirt, and lounge pants. He took his sweet time, grabbing the car keys, and his jacket.

"You're just lucky I agreed to-" He started. "Don't give me that!" Kagome cut in, "Have you already forgotten what you got in return for taking me to see Sango?" He gave her a little sneer. "How could I forget?"

He led the impatient girl to his garage. She stared in amazement at his collection of expensive cars. She stood there staring at each one, not even noticing Sesshomaru getting in the driver's seat of a red convertible. "Would you get in, bitch!" He snapped, but there was humor in his voice.

She pouted at him, and entered the passenger's seat. "I don't like when you call me bitch." She informed him, folding her arms across her chest. He just looked at her, not responding.

She watched everybody look over as they drove by. The top of the car was down, so they were clearly visible to everyone. She really hoped somebody from school saw her driving in a shiny, red convertible with a hot, demon by her side.

She reached out to turn on the radio, but Sesshomaru caught her hand in a tight grip. "W-What?" She asked, annoyed. "I don't listen to music." He said, pushing her hand away from the button. She just sighed, and looked around at the cars around her.

Suddenly she gasped, and dropped to the bottom of the car. Sesshomaru looked at her strangely. "Kagome." He said, focusing back on the road, "I'm flattered, but I don't know how I'm going to drive while your doing that."

"You hentai!" She growled, "My mother is in the next car over! If she sees me in this car…in your clothes..!!" She didn't finish the sentence, letting him use his imagination. Sesshomaru looked over to the blue car next to him.

"I suppose you can stay down there, then." He said, calmly, "Just until we lose her." Kagome felt like taking off her shoe and throwing it at him. "I didn't ask your permission!" She growled. He just let out an annoyed huff, and continued to drive.

Miroku had taken Sango, and Kohaku to his house. Sango sat with Kohaku on Miroku's bed petting his hair affectionately until he fell asleep. She was now sitting by Miroku on the sofa. "So what do you think is going to happen?" She asked him, thoughtfully.

Miroku shrugged. "We just have to let things fall into place." He answered. She didn't like that answer. "Well, surely, me and Kohaku can't stay here!" He shot her a curious glance. "Why not?" He asked, sounding somewhat offended.

She turned away, blushing. "Well, don't you think it would be…strange?" She asked. "No." He answered, plainly. She sighed. "I don't know how to explain…" She said frustrated. "Look, I'm tired…do you have anyplace for me to sleep?"

"Well, Kohaku's already taken my bed…" He answered. She let out a restless sigh. "Come here." Miroku said, calmly. "W-What?!" She asked. "I'll let you sleep on the sofa." He said, getting up.

"No!" She protested, grabbing him by his shirt. "Don't get up…" She said more softly. He found her behavior strange, but sat down, nonetheless. "I'm sorry." She said, blushing crazily, "I just wanted to talk to you…" He was flattered by the comment, and couldn't help but grin at her.

"Well, then…talk." He told her. She sighed. "Okay…" She sat, thoughtfully. "Did you hurt him, badly?" she finally asked. He looked at her face, and saw she was going to cry. "What?" He asked, shocked at the question. "My father…" she said, "Did you hurt him, badly?"

He looked down at the floor. "Not badly." He assured her. "Enough to make him feel it in the morning, but nothing serious." She seemed satisfied with the answer. "I-I just lost it." She told him. He looked up at her. She was crying now. "I knew he was hurting Kohaku, and I lost it!" She cried.

He didn't like her crying, and couldn't restrain himself to reach out and wipe a tear. She looked up to him, and leaped in his arms. "Thank you, so much, Miroku!" She cried onto his shoulder. He stroked her hair, trying to comfort her, but the sobbing just got worse.

"He would've killed me if you hadn't-" she couldn't finish. He was rocking her in his arms. "Hush. It's all over, Sango." He said, cradling her like a child. They stayed like that for a long time, until her sobs became lighter. He felt her tense body relax in his arms, but he still held her tightly.

Soon enough, he realized that she had fallen asleep. He continued to rock the poor girl in his arms. 'So that asshole was a pyromaniac…' He told himself, remembering all the flammable things he had seen in that garage.

Sango let out a relaxed sigh in his chest, and he began to play with her silky hair. Running it through his fingers, and breathing in the heavenly scent. There was no doubt that he was interested in this girl as more than just a friend.

A light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. His head filled with worry. 'What if her father called the police?' He wondered. He held her to his chest, protectively, causing her to stir a little. "Who-Who is it?!" He called out, cautiously.

The door burst open, and Kagome eagerly ran in. Sesshomaru followed her with an annoyed look on his face. "What the hell are you two doing here?" Miroku asked them. Kagome stopped in front of Miroku, who was holding Sango tightly. A look of shock came across her face.

"Miroku, that's so sweet!" She gasped. Sango yawned, and fluttered her eyes open, wearily. "W-What? Kagome?" Kagome giggled when Sango shoved away from Miroku's embrace, shyly.

Miroku turned to Sesshomaru who was sitting in an armchair comfortably. "Why did you come?" He asked him. Sesshomaru just rolled his eyes. "My dearest maid forced me to come!" He mumbled, angrily.

Kagome turned to her 'secret mate' without thinking. "What!?" She snapped, "In order to come here I had to play your sex toy!" She felt her whole face turn red, when she realized who she had said that in front of. Miroku and Sango were laughing like crazy.

"What was that Kagome?" Miroku asked, teasingly. "Don't worry, Kagome!" Sango laughed, "We already knew!" Kagome was surprised to see Sesshomaru laughing, too. She just turned to Sango and said, "Never mind that! How about you? Are you okay?"

With that she bent over, and hugged Sango. Sango laughed, nervously. "Yeah, I'll be okay." She said, "…Thanks to Miroku." She blushed when he beamed at her, and she turned her head away.

Suddenly, there was a little noise in the doorway. They all looked up to see a dark haired boy staring nervously at everyone. Sango sat up. "Kohaku" She said, softly. "Sango!" He cried, running to her. She gave him a tight squeeze when he hugged her.

"Kohaku, I want to introduce you to my friends." She said, smiling at him. "Everyone, this is my brother, Kohaku…"
