This Sesshoumaru Doesn't Do Christmas

Chapter 17 - Attack of the Candy Canes

Thursday, December 4,2008

 

Kagome frowned as she hung up the phone. She didn't call him at work every day, but when she did it was most often during his lunch hour, not wanting to interrupt anything important. Usually Sesshoumaru mentioned it to her if he had a lunch meeting so she wouldn't call. He hadn't said a word this morning about it and come to think of it, his secretary sounded a little off when she realized who was on the line.

 

She shrugged her shoulders, deciding not to bother trying to figure it out. Maybe he was using his lunch break to get in some secret Christmas shopping. Maybe he'd just forgotten to mention a meeting. Either way, she was sure it didn't matter. There was no point in stressing about it or wracking her brain trying to figure it out. She trusted Sesshoumaru.

The taiyoukai was rather nervous on his drive home. Ever since he'd returned to the office and his secretary informed him that he'd missed a call from Kagome he'd worried that his sweet girlfriend might suspect something. Maybe he should have told her he had a lunch meeting, but he didn't often take meetings during his lunch hour and if he suddenly began to do so often she might deduce that something was going on. It wasn't ideal to have her call and find that he wasn't available but it was better than making it obvious that something was up.

 

He relaxed somewhat as he turned onto their street and he spotted her out on the front lawn. He pulled into the driveway and watched as she shoved a giant plastic candy cane into the ground, struggling to make it stand upright. Every time she let go the decoration tipped to the side and she had to straighten it again and he chuckled. Kagome seemed very determined to make everything perfect for this holiday season, no matter how difficult it was, no matter how unruly the decorations, and no matter how unlikely she was to succeed in changing his opinion of Christmas.

 

Sesshoumaru climbed out of the car and walked up slowly behind his girlfriend, aware that she had absolutely no clue that he was approaching. A dry leaf crinkled under his foot, giving away his presence, and Kagome spun around to look at him.

 

She looked amazing, bundled up in a warm sweater, her cheeks bright pink from the cold. Her hair was wild from the frigid breeze and her struggle with defiant plastic candy canes. She smiled at him and that's when he noticed the candy cane, of the edible variety, hanging out of her mouth. He watched as she slowly slid it out from between her lips in a very seductive motion.

 

As the large plastic decoration she stood next to flopped to the ground, something else stood proudly at attention. In an instant Kagome was in his arms and they were in the house, headed towards the bedroom. She laughed before giving him a quick kiss and putting the candy back in her mouth just as suggestively.

 

`This Sesshoumaru will have to visit the hotel for a nap again tomorrow if I am to survive the weekend,' he thought to himself. He hadn't planned on it, thought for sure that two lunch hours would be enough, but the way things had been going recently… It was almost as if she were purposely trying to seduce him!
