InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Lives Turned Upside Down ❯ The Secret Admirer ( Chapter 16 )

It was a tiny, fluffy, white puppy. Swooning Kagome rushed over to it scooping it up in her arms. "Where did you come from little cutie?" she asked the puppy. Her mom just shrugged and replied "I don't know Kagome. He was just sitting by the front door and I heard some noise outside and opened it to find him."

The puppy seeming to understand what she was asking leaned up and licked her on the cheek showing that the dog had something tied around it's collar. "What's this?" she asked. Pulling it off his collar she walked upstairs with the puppy in her arms anxious to see what the paper said.

Placing the puppy on her bed she saw the envelope was addressed to her she opened it, slipping the paper out. Reading it out loud she started

"You probably wonder who this is from but I cannot reveal to you until I am done. You see to me you are like an angel. You are beautiful, kind, and loving. I hope that you enjoy this gift from me to you. Love, Your Secret Admirer."

"Hmmm" Kagome thought to herself. I wonder who it could be. It couldn't be Sesshomaru could it? Nah, he wouldn't do something like this, maybe Inuyasha? I don't think it would be him either. Then who? Well looks like I'll just have to wait and see.

The puppy whined directing Kagome's attention to him. "Oh that's right, I forgot about you" she said sitting down next to the puppy pulling it into her lap and scratching its ears. "What should we name you?" she asked him. Barking in reply she exclaimed "Oh I know, I'll call you Fluffy."

Then Fluffy contentedly snuggled up next to Kagome falling asleep instantly. "Well that takes care of that. I guess I'll have to go get some dog food, toys, and a bed for him." Quietly closing her bedroom door behind her so as not to wake the puppy up she walked downstairs grabbing her mom's car keys and telling her she had some stuff to pick up for the dog.

Pulling up to the pet store she walked in and quickly picked out a cute little bed, some dog food, a bone, some treats, a leash, and of course a few other chew toys. Happy with her buys she went home to find her puppy waiting for her yapping at her feet. Her mom walked into the room saying "I had to let him out of your room, as soon as you left he starting whining at the door and he's been waiting for you to come home ever since. That dog already is really attached to you."

Picking him up Kagome said "Alright Fluffy I'm here" while petting him. Almost immediately the puppy settled down and she decided to take him for a walk. Slipping his leash on they went for a walk around the block. "Ya know Fluffy" Kagome continued "you remind me of someone but I just can't put my finger on it."

Fluffy woofed back at her and Kagome couldn't help but grin. Maybe this dog would be good for her. It gave her something to do and he sure was cute. Walking into the house she took the leash off of him and set a bowl out with food in it which he ate within a matter of a minute.

Laughing she walked upstairs with the dog trailing behind her, and set up the dog's bed which Fluffy jumped into curling up and falling asleep shortly after. It was night now and Kagome was exhausted from having that little rambunctious dog to take care of. Lying in bed herself she pulled the blankets up over her and for the first time in a very long time had a really good night's sleep.

Waking up she yawned and dragged herself out of bed because unfortunately the weekend was over and she had to go to school today. Walking into her first class she spotted Rin in her normal seat and waved with a smile. "Hey Kagome!" Rin said to her as Kagome took a seat. "Hi Rin, you just won't believe what happened to me yesterday!" "What" Rin asked excitedly. Rin always loved to hear stories. "Well I went for a run in the afternoon and came home. And my mom had a puppy in her arms. It's the absolute cutest thing ever! It's little, white, and fluffy. So I called it Fluffy."

"So your mom got it for you?" Rin asked. "No! That's the other thing, it had a note attached to it and guess what? It's from a secret admirer." "Ooooh" Rin giggled "Kagome has a secret admirer. Do you have any guesses to who it could be?" "No" Kagome said "I really don't have a clue but in the note it said that he couldn't tell me yet. So I'm guessing I'll find out eventually."

"Wow, that's so kool Kagome" Rin replied "I wish that I could have a secret admirer." Rin sighed and then continued "Oh well, just keep me updated on what happens next, k?" "Alright Rin" Kagome agreed. Class started and the rest of the day seemed to fly by which Kagome was grateful for as she couldn't wait to get home to see her puppy again.

Sesshomaru sat in his office typing on his computer as his thoughts drifted to Kagome. I wonder if she liked my gift? Will she know who it's from? Will she ever forgive me. All these thoughts bombarded him but thankfully Rin chose that moment to burst into the room.

"Hi dad!" Rin greeted him. "Hello Rin, how are things?" he asked her. "Oh fine, I just wanted to come in and see what you were up to?" "Nothing new, just work as always." "Oh" Rin replied not knowing what else to say. Racking her brain she tried to think of what else she could say. "Well...uhhh....Kagome got a dog. Oh and it's from a secret admirer too!" Rin blurted out. Oops Rin thought I don't know why I said that.

Raising an eyebrow Sesshomaru tried to sound disinterested "That's nice Rin, does she know who it is that gave her the dog?" "Uh no she doesn't but she really loves it. She says it's the cutest thing. And..." Getting the information that he wanted he said "Alright Rin. If there isn't anything else earthshattering that you need to tell me could you please leave me, I am busy as usual." "Ok daddy!" she said and walked out of the room.

As the door closed behind her he couldn't help but smile. His plan was working he just knew it. Now he had to go in for the kill. What could he get her that would just make it impossible to refuse him. Aha! A lightbulb went off in his head and he called Jaken into his room, he knew just the thing.

Kagome was in her room staring at her math homework that just didn't seem to want to get done. Sighing she put her pencil down and let her mind wander. Her puppy whimpered as it could almost sense her distress and Kagome gladly picked him up hugging Fluffy to her.

If only she had never known Sesshomaru, never met him. Then she could be living a normal and happy life. She couldn't help but hope deep down that this puppy was from him and that he had the potential to be this thoughtful. And yet she still wasn't sure that if it was, if she would be able to trust him.

"Oh Fluffy what should I do?" Kagome quietly asked him. Fluffy just picked his head up licking her face. Laughing she patted his head and something clicked in her head. I know who Fluffy reminds me of, he reminds me of Sesshomaru. Great, Kagome groaned. Just what I need, another reminder of him.

Well maybe this is a sign. Maybe I should see Sesshomaru and talk to him. And really listen to what he has to say and not to be burdened with my prior feelings about him. No, I'm going crazy. What is making me think this? My brain isn't working right, I need a break. Yawning she decided that maybe she would take a nap. Yea that'll help me think straight.

Curling up on her bed, Fluffy curled up next to her and she fell asleep minutes later. Slowly coming out of her slumber she opened her eyes glancing outside noticing it was dark and realizing she didn't just take a nap. Looking at the clock she saw the red letters blaring at her "3 o'clock am" Kagome muttered out before totally coming to she remembered that she hadn't done any of her homework.

Deciding that she would get up in a minute she turned over hugging Fluffy and drifted off again. Waking up startled she jumped out of bed. "Crap! I never did my homework. Ok ok don't panic...I know! I'll fake being sick. Yea it'll work" Kagome murmered to herself.

Fluffy yipped at her feet trying to get her attention. "Oh morning Fluffy. Ya gotta go outside? Alright let's go" she said. Walking downstairs she put on the sickest expression she could muster making her way slowly into the kitchen where her mom was. "Hi mom" Kagome struggled out. "Good morning Kagome" her mom replied "What's wrong Kagome? You don't look too good."

"Well I don't feel very good, mom. My stomach hurts and I have a headache" Kagome replied softly. "Ooh, poor Kagome. Here you go back in bed and I'll bring you up some tea. You're not going to school today. Do you want me to stay home too?" "No, I'll be ok mom" Kagome whispered.

"Ok now up to bed you go" her mom said while shooing her. Kagome laid in her bed with a smile. She couldn't believe she fooled her mom so well. She was so grateful to have a day off. As soon as her mom left for work Kagome went downstairs to let Fluffy out.

Hearing something at the front door she went to it trying to look through the peephole but upon seeing someone but not able to make it out she opened the door. Pulling the door open she looked down to see a gift with a note but what shocked her more was that Sesshomaru was walking away down the front path.

Gasping Sesshomaru turned around shocked as well to see Kagome because he assumed she would be at school. Looking at her he noticed she was still in her pj's but thought she looked as beautiful as ever.

Finally regaining control over her voice she said "Sesshomaru what are you doing here? Are you the one who gave me the dog too?"

Opening his mouth to reply he started....
