InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Lives Turned Upside Down ❯ The Mall and The Two Hentais ( Chapter 22 )

Chapter 22: The Mall and The Two Hentais

Arriving at the mall, Kagome looked excitedly around. It seemed like she hadn't been to the mall in forever and this is just what she needed to relieve any stress she might have.

"Come on Sesshomaru" Kagome said while tugging on his hand trying to pull him into a store.

Sighing as he let her drag him through the mall he second-guessed his decision of bringing Kagome into the mall. Although he did love seeing that sparkle in her eyes, she seemed totally content and happy walking around looking at clothes. Maybe he could allow her this joy even if he wasn't having the best time himself.

His thoughts ended when they came up to the bathing suit store. It was called Everything But Water and had a huge selection of bathing suits that he couldn't wait to see Kagome in. His perverted side surfaced again as he smirked, letting images of Kagome in all the different suits flash through his head.

"Sesshomaru?!" Kagome questioned him, a concerned look on her face, eyeing the funny glazed look he had gotten in his eyes.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked sharply, abruptly pushing those images out of his head.

Putting a hand up to his forehead she murmered softly "Well you don't feel hot. Are you ok?"

"Yes I am fine" Sesshomaru assured her with a rare smile.

"Ok!" Kagome chirped as they entered the store.

Kagome rushed ahead giddily looking through all of the bathing suits while Sesshomaru took a more calculated approach scanning the store for the most skimpy and revealing ones. Letting his gaze slip from Kagome, he went off into his own bathing suit world.

"Hello I am Miroku" the man said as he stood a little too close for comfort to Kagome.

"Hi I'm Kagome" Kagome replied warily.

"I work here and so if you would need any help at all picking anything out or trying anything on in the dressing room just let me know" he replied with a smile letting his hand rest on her shoulder.

"Uhh..." Kagome stuttered "I think I'll be fine thank you" as she started to twitch nervously. Who was this guy and why didn't he just leave she wondered.

"Oh" Miroku frowned "a beautiful woman such as yourself should not be alone like this and I would be more than happy to help you in any way" he finished while grinning lecherously.

"No really, I'll be fine and I'm not alone" Kagome said while slowly inching away all the while looking for Sesshomaru too. Where could he be, I just saw him a minute ago.

"Alright" Miroku answered disappointedly "but I do have one more question." Taking her hand in his he continued "Would you do me the honor of bearing my..."

But he was cut off by a growl and was shoved against the wall instantaneously. Kagome gasped as she realized it was Sesshomaru who was doing this. She sighed in relief but then realized what he was doing in the middle of a store and rushed over to them to find Sesshomaru growling menacingly tightening his grip on Miroku's neck his eyes flashing with anger. Miroku on the otherhand was scared to death, his eyes widened in fear and gasping for breath.

"You will do best not to ever touch her again, lecher" Sesshomaru gritted out, his anger overcoming anything else.

"Sesshomaru" Kagome soothed him while putting her hand on his shoulder trying to calm him down. She jumped back with a frightened gasp as he tensed and his growling seemed to escalate. Her eyes started to tear and she whimpered as she cowered away from him, afraid of him now as well. She'd never seen him like this before, the only other time was when he caught her with Inuyasha...

His angry haze cleared slightly as he heard a whimper that seemed to come from Kagome. Kagome, her name ran through his head and he completely snapped out of it, dropping Miroku to the ground.

Miroku promptly rubbed his neck, choking slightly. He then jumped up quickly and ran to the back of the store to hide.

Turning around Sesshomaru saw Kagome and she seemed to be crying for some reason. Walking over to her he saw as she seemed to flinch when he reached for her pulling her into a hug rubbing her back soothingly.

Sniffling she tried to pull away from him but was stopped when his grip tightened pressing his body against her, letting the warmth of his body try to sooth her frayed nerves. He didn't understand what had gotten her so frightened and started to stroke her hair trying to get her to calm down.

Kagome took in a shaky breath trying to regain her composure, she didn't like feeling so vulnerable especially out in public where everyone could see her. She slowly picked her head up to look into Sesshomaru's face, seeing how his eyes shined with concern. He doesn't know what I'm scared about.

"Kagome" he said softly and calmly keeping his gaze on her.

"Sesshomaru" she replied, her voice hoarse "Why did you act like that? I tried to stop you and you...you.." she stuttered her voice breaking as tears started to softly slide down her face again.

Confused, Sesshomaru wiped the tears from her face continuing to comfort her in order to coax her to finish her sentence.

"You didn't even know it was me. I was scared that you would hurt me too" she whispered quietly, burying her face into his chest when she finished.

His eyes widened at her statement, recalling back to what had happened only a few minutes ago, he realized that he had acted totally irrationally with no concern for the most important thing in his life, Kagome. Frowning, he was disappointed in himself that he had acted in such a way, and let his control slip yet again.

Pulling her back so that he could look into her eyes he started "Kagome, please don't be afraid of me. I won't ever hurt you I promise. And I must apologize also for how brash I acted, I don't know what came over me. I swear that I will try my hardest to not lose control of myself so easily but when I see you with another man I just..." he trailed off not wanting to admit it.

"Get jealous?" Kagome finished the sentence for him.

"Yes" Sesshomaru conceded solemnly.

"Oh Sessho" Kagome said while reaching up a hand to brush against his cheek "You don't ever need to worry. I love you and only you. I would never want to be with anyone else" she finished while smiling up at him reassuringly.

"Thank you" he stated simply. He never liked to feel vulnerable and weak, especially around Kagome who he was always supposed to protect.

"Alright now, Sesshomaru you have to promise you will think before you act next time. And talk to me first before you go and try to kill someone, I will have to talk to guys other than you sometimes, ya know."

Shifting his gaze down in embarassment he nodded in agreement and acceptance.

"Ok, well did you see any bathing suits you liked or what?" she asked him, her mood doing a complete 180.

Sesshomaru was always amazed at her ability to forgive and forget. Also at her rapid mood changes, one minute she's sad and the other she's happy. It's what he loved about her though, her spontaneity. Something that up until now he never had.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked him while waving a hand in front of his face.

"Yes?" he replied.

"So...did you see anything? Because afterall you said that you wanted to pick it out..?" Kagome questioned.

"Oh yes, well I did. I'll go get them right now." he stated while walking off to grab them.

Shaking her head she muttered to herself "That Sesshomaru, sometimes I just don't know what he's thinking."

Coming up to her with that mischievious smile on his face she dreaded seeing what he had picked out for her.

"Here Kagome" he smirked while passing them over to her.

"Sesshomaru! These are the smallest, and sluttiest bathing suits I've ever seen" Kagome said.

"Well yea, that was the idea Kagome" he replied smoothly.

Smacking him she said "Oh alright, I'll play along. I'll go to the dressing room now."

"I'll wait outside I suppose and you have to show me every one." Sesshomaru said.

"Uh uh!" Kagome disagreed "I'm not walking out here in the open with these on" she said sticking the bathing suits out in front of her.

"Well alright, I'll come in the room with you then and help you change" Sesshomaru chuckled.

"No way you hentai. You are not coming in there with me" she shook her head. She could just imagine what would happen if he did, not that the idea of that totally repulsed her, it would be kind of exciting. No! I will not think that, look what he's turned me into.

"Alright, I'll go in here" she said pointing to the dressing room "and you wait here" she finished gesturing to the chair next to the dressing room door.

"Yea yea" he sighed while sitting down.

Kagome walked in the door closing it behind her.
