InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Silver Dove and the Raven ❯ Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

"Inuyasha.." Kagome said surprisingly as she placed a hair of hers behind her ear. She looked behind him hoping someone else would come but from what she could see from the opening of the curtain, people were still at their seats. She caught a quick glimpse of Sesshomaru sitting holding his head with one finger and his father whispering something into his ear before the curtain closed completely.

"You were really...breathtaking out there." he said as he came closer.

"Oh.." she tittered. " Well...thanks..." she turned around not knowing what else to say.

"Kagome, I.." Inuyasha started before a loud scream interrupted.

"Absolutely wonderful." Marques shouted as he snapped out of his trance, he walked over to Kagome and started crying. " You were great" he sobbed with a smile as he patted the dress and fixed certain sequins.

"Um...thanks." Kagome smiled.

Marques looked up and met her eyes and frowned. "I was not talking to you. I was talking to the dress."

"Oh..."Kagome blinked.

Marques turned around and pushed Inuyasha. " Ok, you. No one but VIP is supposed to be behind this curtain. Shoo! She has more dresses to try on." he said and completely pushed Inuyasha out of the curtain.

"Kagome, we'll talk later." Inuyasha managed to yell out.

"Whatever" Marques raised his hand. " Ugh. ok, darling. You need to learn how to dress within 30 seconds."

"I-I'm going again?" she said.

"What do you think? Don't insult me, I do have more than one dress."

"O-ok..." she said as he rushed her back to the dressing room where the assistants ripped her clothes off before she could take her next breath.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes in agitation as his father walked away after whispering some foolishness into his ear. Don't ignore it, Sesshomaru. Don't fight fate because you'll lose. He opened his eyes and saw Inuyasha coming back to his seat. Miroku and Sango walked to the front and sat down at some empty seats beside Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.

"Kagome was so amazing!" Sango squealed. "Did you see how confident she looked? Like she's been modeling for years!"

Miroku nodded and saw Inuyasha shifting in his seat, looking bothered.

"You ok, man?" he asked Inuyasha who just replied with a nod.

"How much longer do we have to sit through this?" Koga asked, feeling antsy.

Sango stared at the program listing on the pamphlets on the seat. "Hmmm...well, it ends at midnight and it is 10:38pm. So... we have a while."

"Ugh...I'm so bored in this boner fest. Models barely showing anything and all we can do is stare is not my idea of having fun." Koga added.

Miroku laughed and patted Koga on the knee. " Think, man. After party. Models drunk after one breezer."

Koga's eyes lit up. " I like your thinking."

Inuyasha looked over to Sesshomaru and sighed.

"So, you keep surprising me. These type of events don't really strike your interest, so what gives? Why are you here? And from someone who doesn't have interest in humans, you certainly hang out with Kagome a lot. "

Again, no word or any type of response from Sesshomaru.

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were having some sort of feeling for-"

Sesshomaru glanced to the side in a sharp ominous glare.

"What? Don't like what I have to say?" Inuyasha smirked. " Remember, I saw her first."

An hour and a half later, the show was over and everyone moved on to the after party which was at a penthouse in the midtown area. Koga, Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha waited for Kagome to finish so they could move on to the party. Sesshomaru was on his phone by the exit.

"Why is he still here?" Sango asked looking toward him.

Koga looked at Sesshomaru and back at Sango. " What, is he not allowed here?"

"No..."Sango laughed. "He never likes to hang out."

"Ah, I told him to wait. Kagome and I came with him so we shall leave with him."

"Oh, is he going to the party then?"

"He doesn't know it yet but he will be going." Koga laughed. "Why don't you go with the band, we'll meet you guys later at the party." Koga waved off as Kagome came out holding bags and nodding as Marques whispered in her ear.

Kagome smiled as Koga approached her.

"Hey," she blushed. Koga helped her with her bags and led her to Sesshomaru.

"Hello, Ms. Model. Come on, your chariot awaits..."he gestured towards Sesshomaru who looked back and frowned. Koga cackled. " Hurry up, before he makes a run for it."

They both hurried themselves toward him and followed him out toward the car. Sesshomaru got off his phone and looked at Koga.

"and where do you think you're going?"

"With you, of course." Koga smiled.

"I'm not going to the party." he said and looked at Kagome and then away.

"Oh...we aren't either." Koga nodded and looked at Kagome who looked lost.

"We're not?" she said, Koga put his arm around her and pinched her shoulder. "Oh, right, yeah, parties are lame."

"I'm not your personal driver." Sesshomaru walked away.

"Oh come on...we don't think you are." Koga winked behind him at Kagome and smiled. "We're just tagging along since you live at the same place we do."

Sesshomaru sighed as they got into his jeep. Koga got in the passenger side and Kagome got in behind him.

I really need to look into moving out, Sesshomaru thought as he got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Kagome wondered who paid her rent. Inuyasha had said she paid her rent but she knew she didn't, so who did? While she thought that, she saw Koga messing with the radio and talking to Sesshomaru who looked like he was going to just jump out and roll out of the car and have the car head into the river with her and Koga in it.

"Oh, hey...before we go home, go up 6th ave, I'm hungry for some Sushi and I know this place that makes the best." he said and Sesshomaru sighed, feeling very annoyed.

Kagome's brow rose when she saw where they were heading. Oooh, Koga, you sly devil. He was having Sesshomaru drive uptown, towards that party. Sesshomaru will be very angry, she was sure.

Sesshomaru frowned as Koga directed him towards the Sushi place. Somehow, he couldn't shake off the feeling he was being had. No, he wouldn't dare.

As soon as Koga told him to make a left turn, he noticed there were not much restaurants, it was more of a residential area. He looked toward Koga and glared evilly.

"Hmm, I could have sworn it was around here..."Koga smiled and eyed Sesshomaru from the side. "Oh look, you know where we are? We're at the party. We might as well just check it out."he laughed hard as he moved the gear into park and turned off the car and quickly snatched the keys before Sesshomaru could even grasp that Koga had the audacity to do this. Once he came to his senses, Koga was long gone, running up the walkway into the building.

"Kagome, every man for himself!" he yelled back at Kagome who was still in the car.

Sesshomaru and Kagome just sat in the car in silence. Kagome staring at the back of Sesshomaru's head and into the rearview mirror to see his face. He just looked straight ahead, pissed.

"Ok, I know you must be mad..."she said. Her voice sounding loud in the car because of the silence. "but...if you put it all behind, you'll see that, it's quite funny."

Sesshomaru glared back through the rearview mirror, his amber eyes almost glowing.

"O-or not..."she tittered.

Sesshomaru shook his head and sighed as he looked at the car. It wasn't even parked correctly and Koga snatched the keys. The car was almost out into the street. He sighed once more as he got out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Kagome got out as well.

"To get my keys..."he said and started walking, Kagome a few feet behind him.

Once they got upstairs, someone opened the door and passed them to throw up in the hallway. Sesshomaru immediately scoped for Koga through all of the people while Kagome stood by him in a shy manner.

Koga from afar spotted Sesshomaru and squeaked as he jolted towards more people to hide behind them. He hid behind a huge guy and looked back towards the door but didn't see Sesshomaru. He sighed a breath of relief when he felt a grip on the back of his neck. He chuckled nervously as he slowly looked behind him to see Sesshomaru.

"Oh, hey, you decided to come." he squeaked in pain as Sesshomaru tightened his grip.

"Keys." he said in a tone that intimidated Koga.

"Ok, Ok, Ok, "Koga flinched taking the keys out of his pocket and dangling them in the air. "Here they are. Please don't kill me."

Sesshomaru uncoiled his grip, and went to take the keys from his hand when a drunk girl came over and snatched them in a very drunken manner.

"Friends don't let friends drive drunk!" she sobbed as she heaved the keys out the window. Falling 60 floors to it's inanimate death.

"What the?" Koga looked at her as the girl hiccupped and sobbed. "Who are you?" he said in disbelief and looked at Sesshomaru who just stared at the window the keys were heaved at.

"You guys! I totally saved your lives!" she ran away and tripped over a guy sitting on the floor.

Koga looked back at Sesshomaru.

"Ok...I know you are totally hating me right now but don't fret over your lost keys, I will find them." he said. " You uh...and Kagome, go get some refreshments, take off your shoes, play some twister and I will be back with your keys..."he said as he ran.

Kagome laughed and then stopped when Sesshomaru stared at her.

"I'm glad you are finding this amusing..." he said as he walked away.

"Oh come on, lighten up, will you? Come on, let's get a drink, relax a bit, do you have somewhere to go?" she pulled him by the sleeve.

"Always." he muttered.

"Hey, Kagome!" shouted Sango from the other side of the room. Kagome was shocked to see Sango walking toward her in the skimpiest outfit man ever created.

"Sango...Wow.."she said and Sesshomaru looked towards the balcony where it seemed quiet and unoccupied.

"I'll be on the balcony. Get me when Koga arrives with the keys." he walked away.

"If he gets the keys.."Kagome muttered and looked back at Sango. "Wow, Sango, nice outfit."

"You like?"she twirled around.

"I think I created a monster." Kagome laughed. "It's nice though."

"Yeah, I kind of like my new style. Since I will be bartending now." she shouted over the commotion.

"Bartending? You? Wow, you got a bartending job?" Kagome nodded while noticing from the other side of the room, Shurran, Kikyo and Kagura giving her evil glances and talking amongst themselves.

"Yeah, thanks to you. I hope you got my gift. It's a little appreciation for what you did for me." Sango blushed.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome looked back at Sango perplexedly.

"Duh, your rent." she sipped her beer.

"That was you?" Kagome opened her eyes wide. "Sango...you didn't have to.."

"Oh, shhhh, come on. Because of you, I got this job, I would have still been broke and a fashion victim if it weren't for you. Take it as my gift, ok?" she turned around to see Miroku talking to another girl. She scowled and turned back to Kagome. "Excuse me. I have to go tame a wild animal now."

Kagome smirked and waved. " Um...thanks...Go ahead..." she turned around and walked toward the bar to get herself and Sesshomaru a drink. She grabbed different bottles of liquor and started mixing, old habits died hard.

"Well, what do we have here." a husky voice sounded behind her.

Kagome looked back at the three girls behind her. Shurran, Kikyo and Kagura holding their Cosmos and Martinis.

"What do you guys want?"

"For you to leave." Shurran went straight to the point.

"Tell me what you really think..."Kagome muttered while she continued to mix.

"What? You think you are some super model now because fortunately you were some scrawny ass that fit the French designer's clothing?" Shurran spat.

"Yeah" Kagura and Kikyo tuned in.

"Whatever you say, guys." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Don't think you can be like us, Kagome. You're not. Being a model is hard work. For you, this is a one-time thing. You were just lucky, he was desperate."

"Uh huh.." Kagome poured the drinks into two glasses. "That's why I am the new model for Marque's angel line now." she smiled and turned around to see the shocked faces of the three girls. "Ciao now, girls." she walked away toward the balcony.

"That bitch.." Shurran scoffed.

Kagura scoffed as well. "Shurran, wasn't that your goal? To be the model for Marques?"

"Shut up." Shurran walked off.

Kikyo and Kagura exchanged glances as they watched Kagome hand Sesshomaru a drink.

"Kagome is stealing everything from Shurran." Kikyo shook her head.

"Yeah...and everyone." Kagura added.

"Here..."Kagome handed Sesshomaru a drink.

"What's this?" he grabbed the drink.

"Eh...it's my own little concoction. I call it 'annoying bitches', drink up." she scoffed as she drank hers in two gulps. She looked at Sesshomaru who was staring into the sky.

"What's on your mind?" she asked as she saw he wasn't drinking his drink. She grabbed it from his hand and started drinking it.

He looked at his empty hand and at her and looked away. "Nothing is on my mind."

"Okay...I think that's crap but I'll leave it alone." she said. They both looked down and saw Koga searching for the keys.

"Poor Koga, you see, Sesshomaru. Instead of hanging at the party, he is looking for your keys." she said.

Sesshomaru nodded. "That's his punishment for being an imbecile."

"Ugh, don't be so mean." she said.

"So, you have a job now, I take it." Sesshomaru shocked her by asking.

"Uh...yeah. I was asked to model some clothes. It's money for now, to be honest, it's way better than bartending."

"Mm..." he murmured.

"So..."Kagome said. "Want to bail on the party and go somewhere else?" she asked. She was so shocked on how forward she was and it almost seemed like those pick me up lines at parties such as: 'Hey there, sexy, how about you and I ditch this place and go find someplace quiet'. :Wink: She hoped he wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Go where? If you don't recall, a certain nitwit lost my car keys."

"We don't need the car keys, we can go for a walk."

Sesshomaru stood quiet and didn't respond for a while.

"Eh.."Kagome laughed nervously. "Forget it, stupid idea...I don't know what I was thin-"

"Let's go then." he said as he walked away. She hesitated a moment before following him.

"Kagome!" she heard her name being called and looked to the side to see Inuyasha.

"Hey...Inuyasha.." she said as she tried to cut it short but he stopped her. " Wanna drink or dance?" he smiled.

"Ohh..um.."she looked toward the door and saw Sesshomaru looking back. "I have to go..." she said.

"Already?"Inuyasha laughed and then looked toward the door where she was looking at and frowned when he saw Sesshomaru. They both exchanged glances and Sesshomaru walked out.

"You going somewhere with Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked.

"Uh..."Kagome faltered. "Well..uh"

"Is something going on between you two?"

"What?" Kagome laughed. "No...I just..." Why was she explaining this to him? He's not her boyfriend. "I have to go, Inuyasha. See you at home." she walked off and left.

Inuyasha gritted his teeth and walked away.

Kagome met up with Sesshomaru by the elevator. He didn't say a word, as usual and she stood by him as they waited.

"If you want to stay, by all means." he said.

"No, it was my idea to leave, remember?" she said.

Sesshomaru looked up at the numbers as the elevator passed each floor. The elevator doors opened and they got in. Kagome tried to think of what to say while she looked at Sesshomaru who just stared straight. He was acting strange with her. Or maybe he just had a lot on his mind.

Once they reached the bottom, the doors opened and Koga came in. " I found them!" he said with a few cuts on his faces. " they fell in the bush, there were a lot of thorns in it but I was a trooper." he smiled.

Sesshomaru said nothing and snatched the keys and walked off.

"You guys leaving?" Koga asked.

"Yeah, see you later, k?" Kagome waved.

"fine, party poopers!" he waved as the elevator doors closed.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sesshomaru drove and pondered as they passed blocks of city lights and luminous advertisements. Kagome periodically looked at him, feeling comfortable and awkward at their silence. She hated it with a passion to admit how good looking he was. She wanted so much to know more about him but he wasn't the type to sit down over a cup of coffee and start talking about his childhood.

Their relationship over the past few weeks had grown into something she just couldn't understand. It was like they were friends but they hardly said a word to each other. But when one was feeling down, the presence of the other made them feel better. Was it because they weren't truly alone but didn't feel compelled to comfort the other with soothing words? She couldn't point it out. Even though he wouldn't say much, she would know that he wanted to hang with her. The other day, he just joined her in watching a movie without uttering even a "hello". He just sat there and when the movie ended. He said "Chinese or Japanese?" Of course Kagome was baffled to what he was referring to, but when he stated food, she was astonished that he would eat with her, especially since he was so private.

They ate food and sat there watching more tv but when the other roommates joined them in the living room, he had dispersed back into the darkness where he resided until he popped up again unexpectedly.

"How come you dislike humans?" she broke the silence.

He glanced at her for a second and looked away.

"Why don't you like demons?" he asked.

"No fair, you can't answer a question with a question."

"Well, my reasons are many." he said as he pulled out a cigarette.

"Could you not?" Kagome grimaced. "I want fresh air right now."

Sesshomaru sighed and put the cigarette back in his pack.

"So, just give me one reason." she said.

"Incompetence. I also can't stand to see such weakness."

"Ugh...that is such a cocky thing to say." she scoffed.

"You asked." he said flatly in a soft voice.

"Yeah, hoping to hear something not so arrogant." she crossed her arms.

"Which proves my reasoning on why I dislike demons."

"Which is?" he asked, surprised by his interest.

"All demons think they are better than humans. They think humans are just something to laugh at or play with."

"play with?" he looked at her.

"Never mind." she said as she looked out of the window.

Sesshomaru looked into the rearview mirror and then back at her. There was something in her tone that was personal. He wanted to know more about it but he didn't want to appear interested in her personal life. He thought that his hatred for humans was impeccably huge but he started to doubt that it didn't compare to how much she disliked demons.

"Sounds like you have a sad story to tell." he said as he turned around.

"I don't. Where are we going?" she asked.

"I don't know. You wanted to leave the party. So we did." he sighed as he turned another corner and saw the river nearby. Maybe a walk at the pier would count as someplace quiet. He slowed down and parked and Kagome looked around. She didn't ask any more questions and just got out of the car and started to walk on the boardwalk by the pier.

Sesshomaru took this perfect moment as an opportunity to light a cigarette and immediately pulled it out from the pack in his chest pocket. He glanced at Kagome with the cigarette in his mouth and lit it while taking a drag.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

She rubbed her arms clenching her jaw and shook her head. What a stubborn girl.

"So, I take it you hate me more than ever now?" he smirked.

"Oddly, no. You'd think that I couldn't stand being around you but.." she stopped and then bit her tongue to not say anymore.

"Hm.."he pulled another drag and nodded.

"Anyway, so...tell me something."she decided to change the subject. "What do you do? Live off your dad's money, buy expensive cars, spoil the pretentious demon girls, go to exclusive clubs and do drugs like all the rich people that don't know what to do with money?" she teased.

"You hit it right on the nail." he exhaled and rolled his eyes. "You're good."

"Come on, quit lying." she laughed, shocked by his sarcastic comment.

"I'll quit lying when you do." he said and her smile faded.

"What does that mean?" she tilted her head

"There's no hidden meaning. You told me your family disowned you because you moved out. That is a lie."

Kagome bit her lip and looked away.

"And you know this how?"

"It's a gift."

" Some gift." she retorted. "You…you wouldn't understand anyway."

"You can relax, I don't care to know the truth." he said as he pulled out another cigarette.

"Can you just not smoke for one second?" she looked back annoyed.

"I can."he said at her with a smirk.

"Fine.." she waved her hands. " not like I care if you die."

Sesshomaru scoffed at the insult. " I won't. These don't affect demons like they do humans. I can smoke a million of these and nothing will happen. Again, which proves why being a human…well, in terms you would understand, suck."

Kagome rolled her eyes and looked into the river. The night's chilly air didn't affect her anymore. The beauty of the black river in front of her was enough to warm her. She fell into a daze.

Sesshomaru stood behind her, staring at her expression. The look on her face intrigued him. He wasn't used to seeing a girl with a look of contemplation so deep. Human or Demon, most girls he's met or come across looked so empty-minded, like robots with credit cards and the need for spending. They never looked like they thought a day in their life. He was so engrossed by his thoughts; he didn't realize she'd caught him staring.

"What?" she said.

He looked away immediately. "Nothing."

"You were looking at me." she said feeling self conscious.

"I wasn't." he said feeling uncomfortable. "Are you hungry?" he asked trying to change the subject. "Let's go."

They walked back to his car and he fixed his jacket as he got in.

"Y-yeah.."she faltered a smile and leaned back into the car seat. "Starving...actually."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango got out of the train station along with Koga in the back slurring and stumbling all over the place.

Miroku sighed and looked back.

"I told you, man. Tequila is strong. It will hit you hard no matter what species you are." Miroku choked on his laugh.

"Aw..man." Koga hiccupped. " Why are the buildings moving?" he gulped trying to keep from throwing up. He's never gotten wasted in his life and he drank a lot.

Sango stopped walking to let Koga catch up. "the buildings aren't moving, Koga. They do look like they're moving after 20 shots of tequila." she laughed. She was slightly drunk but nowhere near as much as Koga.

"Yeah..surprised he's not dead."muttered Miroku up front.

"Where's Kaaagome?"Koga asked as he fell on the floor and started crawling. People started staring at him.

"Is he ok?"a lady asked holding her Starbucks coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

"Yeah, he'll live." Inuyasha picked him up and helped him walk. "Come on, Koga."

"I'm not drrrrrrunk!"he pushed Inuyasha as they came close to their house. He climbed up one step and turned around "Where's Kagome? She's my friend."

"We know, Koga."Sango smiled and patted his back. "She'll be here soon. Actually.."she looked back at Miroku and Inuyasha. " Where is Kagome? She was at the party for a second and then she left."

Miroku shrugged and Inuyasha frowned.

"she had to leave.." he spat as they walked up the steps.

"Ohhhh, yeah..."Koga snorted. " I remember, she left with Se...Sesshuuuuuumaru? Sesshaaamaru? Oh fuck, what was his name again?"Koga choked on an obnoxious laughter.

"Sesshomaru.."Sango laughed as she stumbled on the steps and Miroku caught her and held on to her as they walked up.

"Yeah...that."Koga chortled. " What a long name..."

Inuyasha bit the insides of his cheek thinking about Kagome leaving with Sesshomaru. He wasn't an idiot. They both had something going on that they were hiding.

Koga stumbled in and continued going up the steps.

"You'll be alright finding your room, right, Koga?" Sango said.

"Yeah, man."Koga waved off going up the steps.

"I'll make some coffee..."Sango said."You guys want to hang in the kitchen for a bit and sober up?"she asked Miroku and Inuyasha.

"Sure..."Miroku said and Inuyasha nodded.

After an hour, Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku were talking in the kitchen, drinking coffee and munching on donuts.

"That party was awesome." Miroku said.

"Hey, we could have stayed longer but Koga had enough."

Everyone stopped talking when the door opened again. This time, Shurran, Kikyo, and Kagura walked in with their high heals clicking on the linoleum floor. They walked past the kitchen, not saying anything to them. They were too absorbed in their conversation as they walked up the steps to their rooms.

"Guess I made too much coffee." Sango sighed and stuffed a donut into her mouth.

The door sounded again and this time Kagome and Sesshomaru walked in.

"Hey, guys." Kagome came into the kitchen. "Oooh, coffee, can I have some?"she looked at them.

"Of course, I made some for everyone." Sango said and Kagome reached over to pour herself some coffee. Sesshomaru didn't say anything and looked at Kagome as he pointed up the steps.

"Ok, good night." she said to him as she sat down next to Sango.

Sango looked back at Sesshomaru who went up the steps and back at Kagome.

"Does he even speak?" she asked Kagome.

"Yeah, why?" Kagome grabbed a donut.

"I don't know, it just seems like he doesn't." Sango leaned back into the chair. "Why'd you leave the party early?"

"Eh, it wasn't my thing, to be honest." Kagome looked at Inuyasha who looked away from her. She frowned as she feigned a yawn. "Well, it's late, I got to go to bed. I have to wake up early."

"Yeah...us too." Sango got up as well as Miroku.

"Thanks for the coffee.."Kagome left the kitchen and went up to her room.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha who was still sitting down.

"You're going to stay here?"he asked.

"Yeah.."Inuyasha said in a bummed tone. " I'm not tired yet."

"Alright, man. Night. "he winked as he looked at Sango and back at him.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kagome dried her hair after getting out of the shower and put on a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt. She wasn't tired for some reason. She looked at the time, it was nearly three in the morning now and she got into bed. She lay there for a few minutes trying to sleep but couldn't. She threw the blanket off of her and grabbed a sweater. Maybe she'll go sit on the stoop or watch some TV.

She walked downstairs and decided to watch some TV since it was too cold outside. She heard the television downstairs and wondered who was watching tv at this time. The stairs creaked a bit as she came down and walked into the living room and smirked. Sesshomaru was watching television, sitting on the couch. His eyes were closed with his arms crossed. Was he sleeping? she thought and gasped when his eyes opened up and looked straight at her. CREEPY!

"Ok.."she chuckled. " I wasn't staring at you while you were sleeping, I swear."she shot her hands up.

He shook his head and looked back at the television pretending he hadn't closed his eyes.

"Why are you down here, you can't sleep?" she asked as she walked toward the couch and sat down.

"No, I can sleep but Koga is sleeping in my bed." he said as he changed the channel.

"What?"Kagome smiled. " Why?"

"I don't know but he stinks of Tequila and bile."

Kagome giggled. "I see."

"Why are you up?" he asked.

"I can't sleep." her voice sounded low and hoarse.

He nodded and handed her the remote control. "There's nothing entertaining on. That will put you to sleep." he said and sighed as he rubbed his temples.

Kagome shrugged and grabbed the remote and flicked through the channels. After minutes, her eyes grew heavy and before she knew it, she was out.

Sesshomaru watched as she fell asleep so quick after saying she wasn't tired. He sighed and grabbed the remote back from her and flicked through the channels.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sango yawned and opened her eyes. She glanced at the clock, it was seven o' clock. She didn't have to be up at this time but she needed to get used to it since school started in a few weeks. She contemplated about going to school and working at night as a bartender and wondered how it would affect her. If Kagome could do it, so could she, she thought. Her stomach grumbled and she got up from bed. She looked to her side and saw Miroku and screamed.

"What? What?" he shot up and looked around.

"What are you doing in my bed?" she said covering herself realizing she was naked. "Oh my god. Please don't answer that."

"Ok, I won't. "he smiled and turned toward her.

"Uh.."Sango got out of bed. "Uh...I'm hungry.."

"Yeah, me too..."he said as he took the blanket off of him as well and stood up. " Let's make breakfast since we are up." he grabbed his cellphone to check the time.

Sango blushed seeing him standing casual, naked. She turned around trying to remain calm.

"U-uuh...ok..let's uh...let's go make some breakfast then."she rolled her eyes wondering what the hell did she do. She didn't look back for fear of the penis monster looking at her and just made her way out of the room. Miroku had dressed and followed her.

As they walked downstairs, Miroku rubbed her shoulders and she flinched.

"What's wrong?"he asked.

"Nothing!"she squeaked. "You just startled me is all.."she continued down the steps and heard the television on. "Who's watching tv at this time?"she whispered at Miroku. The both of them tiptoed into the living room and Sango stopped Miroku with her hand to his chest and smiled. She pointed to the couch and he chuckled quietly.

Sesshomaru and Kagome were on the couch, asleep. Sesshomaru sitting down, with his head leaning on his arm, Kagome wrapped in a blanket curled up in fetal position, leaning a bit on Sesshomaru.

"Oh my god.."he whispered. "Kodak moment."he grabbed his cellphone to take a picture. The sound of the camera sounded as it took the shot and Sesshomaru opened his eyes. Miroku's eyes widened as he turned around to run and bumped into Sango and they both ran out of the living room.

Sesshomaru rubbed his face as he looked down at Kagome. Her head was leaning at the edge of his lap. He inched slowly away, rubbing his face, feeling stiff as he stretched.
