*Chapter 8*
She awoke to the sunlight streaming down into her room through her window. Blinking her eyes quickly to adjust them to the bright light that engulfed her room, she went over the happenings of the past twenty-four hours in her head. She still couldn't believe that the 'All Mighty Sesshoumaru' had proclaimed his love for her, it was just to weird. And to add to the confusion, he had gone through the whole party with out one incident, that was so unlike him. Her thoughts then drifted to an unpleasant memory of Inu Yasha and Kikyou, but to her surpise she wasn't that upset about it anymore. Sure it hurt, but it wasn't the pain staking, heart shattering pain she had felt no more than sixteen hours ago. She sighed in confusion as she got up from her bed and headed to the bathroom to take her morning bath.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
He awoke sometime after the sun had risen, all though he wasn't quite sure how long after. He could see, as he squinted his eyes from the sun light pouring into the room, the child called Sota was no longer in the room, his bed still unmade. 'Keh, messy humans' he mused to himself. He got up and started to fold the blankets that had been given to him the night before. He set them down neatly at the foot of the cot and proceeded out of the room towards the sound of Kagome's mother and the smell of something that made his mouth water. He stopped just outside of Kagome's room, he could smell her sweet sent through the door. 'She smells of the meadows in spring when all the flowers are in full bloom, mixed with the smell of the spring rain and an underlying hint of cherry blossoms' he smiled at this thought. He could hear that she was in the bath so he decided not to disturb her. 'As much as I hate to admit it, this is the happiest I have been in a very long time' he thought as he continued down the hall.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Kagome had stepped out of the bath and was now drying herself. She couldn't believe it had been three years since she had first fallen into the well and was taken back in time. Three years since her life had been turned upside down, all though she really didn't mind it much anymore. She had finished school with honors, she even had offers from many of the most prestigious colleges in the surrounding areas. She had decided to wait till her quest was complete to go to college though, she wanted to make sure she had no distractions when she went. "Maybe my life's turning around for the best" she said to herself, smiling. What that she finished drying herself off and got dressed.
She ran down the stairs not really paying attention to where she was going and almost ran into Sesshoumaru. He had heard her coming down the stairs at a break-neck speed and turned just in enough time to catch her at arms length from himself. She looked up to see who she had almost ran into, she blushed as she noticed who it was. "Sorry" is all she could choke out as she felt the heat rising to her cheeks. "Watch were your going next time wench" he stated, he smiled then playfully winked at her before turning to head back down the stairs. "Oh you..." and that is when she noticed he was still in the clothes her mother had given him to sleep in. She busted out laughing hitting the floor as she did so. She couldn't stop it, she tried to hold it in knowing he would most likely get mad at her, but she couldn't. There he stood, the Great Demon Lord of the Western Lands, in one of her mother's old pajama sets. It was way to small for him length wise, half of his shins were showing, however the length of the sleeves wasn't as bad. It was pink, fuzzy, and had a print of little teddy bears hugging a pillow all over it.
He turned and glared at her, his anger coming out through his eyes only. Then he realized what she was laughing about. 'Had I not been so wrapped up in thought last night I would have never worn these' he mentaly berated himself at the fact he had not payed more attention to the attire that had been handed to him the previous night. The whole house became deathly quiet, even Kagome had stopped her laughing, when everyone heard him yell out in anger, "Woman, what is the meaning of this?" He stormed off in the direction of the kitchen where Mrs. Higurashi was just finishing up breakfast, leaving Kagome on the stairs as she broke out in fits of laughter again. Her mother tried to hide the giggle that came out as the demon walked into the kitchen, not wanting to anger him anymore. "That is the only thing I could find for you to wear" she said. "Unless you wanted to wear one of my more revealing pajama sets?" At that she couldn't hold it back anymore, she busted out laughing.
He wanted to rip her throat out for mocking him as she did, but he was calmed when he felt a hand touch his should and her sweet smell drifted up to his nose. He inhaled her intoxicating sent and let himself calm down even further. 'Who knew she could have this affect on me' he thought 'not that it is a bad thing'. Looking down at Kagome, he let a sigh escape his lips before turning his attention back to her mother. He gave her mother a menacing stare before heading back upstairs to change into what he had worn to the party. "Mom I am going to be taking Sess out to show him Tokyo so I will most likely be gone all day." "Okay dear" her mother said. She turned to her purse and pulled out a credit card and handed it to her daughter "I want you to have fun. And do buy your new friend some clothes for here. I have a feeling he will be coming around more often." Her mother smiled when she saw her daughter blush and knew that she had been correct in her assumption.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Are you ready Sess-chan?" Kagome asked after they had finshed eating breakfast and helped her mother clean the kitchen. He looked at her, one eyebrow raised in question "Sess-chan?" "Oh if you don't like that..." He cut her off before she could finish her remark "that is fine" he said with a smile. 'Gods, he is sexy when he smiles, he should do it more often.' Making a mental note to tell him so later on when they were alone. She grabbed her keys to her car, which had been given to her the night before as a birthday/graduation present, off the counter. "Mom we're gone" turning to the door to leave as she said this. "Ok dear, have a good time and try not to get into trouble."
They walked to the side of the shrine where the driveway was and Kagome gasped. There in the driveway was her new snow white Mustang. 'Mom must have paid a fortune for this' she thought. She turned and smiled at Sesshoumaru, "come on let's go." She ran to her new car, the doors and jumped into the drivers seat.
He stared at what he could only come up with as a demon with a slightly puzzled look on his face when she had hoped into it. Hearing it growl suddenly he yelled at Kagome "Get out of it quick, I will take care of it." She smiled, got out of the car and walked over to him "come on, it's not going to hurt you or me. It is a car, this is how we get around in my time." She placed her hand in his and walked him over to the passenger side door, opened it for him and gestured for him to get in. After what seemed like an eternaty she finally conviced him to get in, shutting the door afterwards. Getting in the car she shut her door and put it in reverse, then backed out of the driveway and headed towards town. She noticed his eyes open wide in shock and fear as the car began to move, she put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. "It is ok, trust me" she said with a loving smile. He nodded and stared out the window in awe as they began to move faster down the street.
'This thing moves faster than I do' he thought to himself in amazement. As they got closer to town he noticed that the humans were growing larger in number and he still hadn't sensed any demons what so ever. "Hey Kagome, are there any demons in your time?" "Huh? Oh, no not that I know of if there are they keep themselves hidden." 'There has to be some, surely we didn't just dissapear with out a trace' he thought as he stared out the window again.
After they sat for a while in silence she decided she would let him know where they were going. "Sess-chan, we are going to go shopping. We need to get you some clothes. We are going to what is called a mall, there will be alot of humans there. Do you think you be ok with that?" He looked at her with an evil grin on his face "do I have a choice?" he asked playfully. She smiled "no I guess not."
They pulled into the mall parking lot, and with luck it wasn't as busy as she had thought it was going to be. She found a spot to park and turned off the car. As they walked to the entrance he took her hand in his and smiled lovingly at her. "I wouldn't want to get lost now, would I?" he teased as he ruffled her hair. She stuck her tongue out at him "I love you too!" When they entered through the door Sesshoumaru was taken back by the stong stench of humans. He mentaly cursed and tried to block out the smell when he realized that Kagome's sent was begining to overpower the other smells.
She had seen the face he made as they entered and couldn't even imagine how bad it was. His face was slightly twisted in disgust and for anything to make his face show emotion had to be strong. She began to concentrate on her smell trying to make it stronger, hoping what Inu Yasha had said about her was true, that she smelled good. When she saw him turn and smile at her she knew it had worked. "Better?" "Yes" he nodded as he spoke. "You know I have been meaning to tell you this; you should smile more often, it suits you." She smiled sweetly at him, then led him down the hallway to one of the stores.
After several hours of running from store to store and changing in and out of clothes they had finally found enough outfits for him. They left the mall with him carrying many bags that held four pairs of jeans, four button up shirts, a pair of tennis shoes, six pairs of boxers and socks, one pin striped suit, and one pair of black dress shoes. As they were driving off he asked "Kagome-chan, where are we going now?" "Well, I am hungry so I figured we would go have some lunch. Does that sound good to you?" "I, Sesshoumaru, have no need for human food" he said jokingly, trying to dodge out of the way of her playfull punch to his arm. Of course with them being in the car it was damn near impossible to do so, so he just gave in and let her.
They walked into the pizzeria and his mouth started to water from the smell of freshly cooked pizzas. "What is that smell?" "That would be pizza, that is what we are having for lunch." He smiled as she walked to the counter and ordered a extra large pepperoni and cheese pizza with two cokes. After the man behind the counter gave her her order number she guided the demon to a booth and told him to sit. She had expected him to sit down across from her so she yelped in surpise when he sat down next to her. He could hear her heart start to beat faster as she blushed and he smiled at her, loving the effect he was having on her. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, she was completely lost in his golden eyes and hadn't noticed him pulling her closer to him. He gently grabbed her face with his hand and bent his head down to kiss her. Right as his lips were about to meet her's he heard their number called, he growled softly then kissed her chastely before getting up to get their food.
