Unexpected Guest

A.n. I'm soooooooooooooooo sorry I haven't updated in forever. I haven't been home much the past couple of week. And tomorrow im leaving again. So I cut this chapter in half so that I could post some of it. I promise to type the other half when I get back. I just couldn't type 10 pages and pack in one night.

Chapter 3:Ready?

“Please Ayuri! Please do this for me,” Kagome begged her roommate as she followed her to the kitchen.

“What am I supposed to do? Pretend that Sesshoumaru is my date?”

“Yeah that would work. I just don't want to be alone with Hojo. You know how he gets. And if you and Sesshoumaru are there at least there's someone else to talk to besides him.” As they sat down at the table, Kagome gave her roommate her best sad puppy dog face.

Ayuri sighed and dropped her head into her hands, “So where are we going anyway?”

“We are going to that club in town, what's it called again? Oh yeah, Fever. Anyway, Hojo is going to meet us there.”

Ayuri raised her eyebrow and gave Kagome a knowing look, “and Sesshoumaru has agreed to this?”

“He didn't disagree…” Kagome mumbled as she looked at the floor which at the moment was oddly interesting.

Ayuri laughed when she heard this and patted Kagome on the back, “Girl, you are in so much trouble,”

“Shuddup,” Kagome said, grinning like mad. It was true though. Even though Sesshoumaru hadn't said he wouldn't go, he hadn't said he would either. But she was pretty sure he would.

“So, how long till we leave?”

Kagome looked at the clock on the wall and sighed, “2 hours.”

“Well I guess I'll go take a shower. What are you going to do?”

“I guess I'll go talk to Sesshoumaru…”

“Yeah, you might want to do that.”

Kagome sighed, got up, and looked around, “Where is he anyway?”

“I think he went to your room, but I'm not sure.”

“Ok,” she said, already halfway to the stairs. She was so not looking forward to talking to him. I mean sure, he was easier to talk to now than he had been in the feudal era. But he was still Sesshoumaru, silent, unreachable Sesshoumaru. She sighed and began to climb the stairs, “I'll go see if he's ok with this.” Ayuri mouthed a silent good luck and she nodded, opening her door slowly. She was surprised when she entered the room to see him sitting in what he had started to claim was his chair, looking through her photo album. “What'cha doin?”

He looked up at her for a few seconds then he pointed down to the pictures and said, “What are these?”

“Hmmm?” she said walking over to where he was sitting, “oh, they're called photos or pictures. It's like taking an instant portrait of something.” She pulled up another chair and sat next to him as he looked through all the pictures.

“Are these all of you?”

“Some of them are. The other's are mostly of my family and friends. I think there is also a picture of you in there somewhere.”

He looked up at her curiously, “how did you get it?”

She looked up as well and was shocked to find his mouth mere inches from hers, “Um I think you were doing your normal routine of yelling at Inuyasha before you tried to kill him. I guess you didn't notice.”

He looked back down at the pictures, “hmmmmm…”

“Listen,” she said, “about tonight. Would you mind going to the club with us and posing as Ayuri's date?”

“Why?”

“I don't want to be alone with Hojo,” she said, looking down at her feet.

“Why?”

She sighed and continued to stare at the floor. “He starts to act really weird if it's only us.”

“Very well,” he sighed, “I will go. But I am not posing as that girl's date.” He remembered overhearing about went on during a date and he had absolutely no interest in doing any of that with that particular girl, or any other human girl for that matter.

“Ok, I guess it will have to do,” she said, content to just look through the pictures with him. He asked her about a few of them like the picture of her in front of the Goliath ride at Six Flags over Georgia. (which by the way is the best amusement park in the world! And goliath is AWSOME!!! If u haven't ridden it GO NOW!!!!!!!) But most he merely “hmphed” at it before going on to the next one. “So,” she said suddenly, “Have you remembered anything about how you got here?”

He shook his head, “Not really. I know I was nowhere near either the Bone Eaters Well or Inuyasha's forest. And I wasn't with Rin or Jaken.” His eyes flashed with worry for a moment and Kagome just knew he was thinking of his little girl.

“Where were you when you got here?” she said trying to steer the conversation away from Rin.

“In front of the Goshinboku,”

“Well, that doesn't help us much.” She scratched her head then she got an idea, “Do you know if there was another tree of ages near you?”

“No,”

She sighed again and put her hand on his arm, “I promise you Sesshoumaru, I will get you home.” He looked up at her and slightly smiled, before returning his attention to the pictures. Sighing, Kagome got up and headed towards the bathroom. “I guess I better start getting ready for my `date'. We have to leave in about an hour and 30 minutes.” She watched as he barely nodded to her and then she turned and went into the bathroom to take her shower.

When she got out of the shower Sesshoumaru was still sitting there looking at the pictures. `Wow he really likes those,' she thought as she towel dried her hair and made sure that the towel around her body was secure. “I forgot to tell you, the place we're going to is extremely loud so you will defiantly need something to cover your ears so they don't get hurt.”

“There is no need,” she said calmly, looking up from the pictures and into her soft brown eyes. She gave him a look that said she clearly thought otherwise and that he was underestimating how loud clubs were. He merely sighed and continued to stare at her blankly, “I can use my youki to block most of the noise and train it on only your voice.”

“Really?” she said, shocked.

“Yes, all I have to do is focus some of my youki in my ears. And I can focus it so that I will still be able to hear you, Ayuri, and Hofo and nothing else.”

“Well that's convenient. I wish I could do that. And I must say, I don't think I've ever heard Hojo get called Hofo. Inuyasha called him Homo, Hobo, Hoso, Hono, Hoco, but never Hofo. Anyways, we need to find you something to wear.” She turned and sifted through the various things they had bought him. She finally settled on a dark blue button down shirt and some black slacks. “Here, try these on.”

He looked from her to the clothes and then back to her, “Why? This Sesshoumaru already knows they fit.”

Kagome sighed, “I know they fit, I just want to make sure they look good on you. Please go put them on.” She gave him her best sad puppy dog impression and mentally jumped when she heard him sigh in defeat.

“Fine, give them to this Sesshoumaru. I am going to go change in the bathroom.”

“Ok,” she said, smiling as she handed him the clothes, “I need to get dressed to so knock before you come back in here.” She waited for him to nod before she went back into her closet to find her something to wear. She looked and looked and was about to give up and steal some of Ayuri's clothes when she spotted it in the back of her closet. She smirked and put it on, waiting for Sesshoumaru to come back in.

`Wow,' thought Sesshoumaru when he saw Kagome, `She looks beautiful. Not that I will ever tell her that.' She was wearing a purple sink tank with a matching black leather jacket and skirt. She had on black heels with straps that wound around her legs up to her knees. He caught her gaze and when she smiled at him he turned away, realizing that he had been staring.

“So,” she said as she moved into the bathroom, “just let me do something with my hair and put on a little make-up and I'll be ready.” She turned away from him and sighed. `Man, he looks good!' she thought as she quickly ran a brush through her hair and put on a little lip gloss. Then she turned and faced him again. He had pulled his hair back into a low ponytail and his clothes clung to his body in just the right way to make her shiver with desire.

“OK I'M READY!” shouted Ayuri as she walked into the bathroom, doing a double-take when she saw Sesshoumaru. She had wanted to impress him tonight so that maybe she would have a shot but now she could see that that would never happen. He hadn't even glanced at her when she had walked in. His eyes stayed glued to Kagome's oblivious form. `Poor Hojo,' she thought as she leaned against the door and waited for Kagome to finish, `he doesn't stand a chance. It almost makes me feel sorry for him…almost.'

“Ok,” Kagome said closing her make-up box and turning towards them, “I'm ready. Is there anything else we need before we go?”

Ayuri shook her head, “not that I can think of. Shall we go?”

“Yeah I guess,” she sighed in response, “we wouldn't want to keep dear Hojo waiting.” They walked over to the stairs, but Sesshoumaru stayed put in the bathroom. “Sesshoumaru?” Kagome said walking back over and touching his shoulder, “Are you coming?”

He jumped at her touch and nodded, “yes.”
