Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Single Rose ❯ A Day With Kurama: Part I ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I own nothing! So don't even bother me about it, you pesky lawyers!

 

I've suddenly had the drive to do another chapter again. As you know me… I don't often update, and while I work on my writing pieces a little at a time, I am never able to finish. It's true for me… I've already planned a teeny bit of a few Sess/Kag stories. Wrote a bit of them, and stopped. -sighs- I can never be interested long enough.

 

Now onto the next chapter.

A Single Rose - ASR

 

Chapter 4 - A Day with Kurama: Part I

 

Kurama sighed, he could just imagine now how every meal would be like, and he could've known his mother would have done something like this, just so she could have grandkids. He watched as one girl `accidentally' kicked another girl to get closer to one of the chairs that were on either side of him. He motioned to a waiter holding a tray of wineglasses on the side of the room, he would drink away his current problem with wine, he took two glasses, intending to save the other for when he finished the first glass. He gulped down the first glass, letting the liquid sit in his mouth.

 

Meanwhile, as he tried to drink away his problems, the catfight had begun. The other 24 contestants, other than Kagome, proceeded to be the entertainment for the night, however it only lasted for 15-20 minutes because Kurama was a gentleman, and didn't want to see anyone hurt as much as they annoyed him.

 

Kagome slouched in her chair, before sitting up straight again, what did you have to do to get food here, damnit!? Here only source of amusement had been watching the other girls scratch, pull each other's hair, and push to get to the seats beside Kurama, Mr. I'm Going To Drink This Nightmare Away. What did he think he was doing? That was her title, he couldn't have it. He didn't look like a alcoholic, but you wouldn't know with celebrities these days. Kagome heard her stomach growl, groaning she prepared to inform them that they should eat now.

 

“Look,” Kagome began noticing no one was listening to her, “AHEM.” Finally, then were listening. “If you ladies would please do me a favor, choose a seat now, and we can start eating. I mean watching you guys fight for those two seats is fun and all, but I'd rather eat. So, please, seat your butts and were ready to eat.” The other girls stayed silent before all of them began to go back to fighting. Seeing that they didn't want to listen to her, she decided to stop being nice, I mean this was ridiculous she was hungry and she wanted her food and no tapes were running anyway. “Shut up, sit down, and eat.” She said loud and coldly.

 

The girls stopped hearing her commanding cold voice, which screamed they were being fools, and did what she did, while the two closest girls put themselves in the chairs on either side of Kurama. Kagome smiled her thanks, before she settled comfortably into her chair.

 

Kikyo and Yura smiled smugly at the other girls as the meal began, they had taken the seats next to Kurama much to his growing displeasure as they tried to strike up conversations with him about what he liked to eat, do, and other miniscule subjects. The whole dinner was like this, eat, talk, ignore, eat, talk, finish, and leave. Yep, that was about it. Wasn't it time for bed yet? Come on, it was 11:45 some people needed their beauty sleep! Really some of those contestants needed some sleep to make them beautiful, one look at them and you could tell.

 

Who cares, they'll be the ones looking horrible in the morning not me. Kagome thought, leaving the group and heading towards her room upstairs.

 

“Hey wait up!” a tired voice said behind Kagome. Kagome turned around looking for whoever said that. “I'm right here.” The girl walked up the stairs; obviously she had a hard day. “Name's Sango, yours?” she asked Kagome once she reached her.

 

“My name's Kagome.” Said person smiled at Sango. “Had a rough day, huh?”

 

“Yea… My boyfriend and I had a fight before I left for this thing.” Sango sighed, still feeling guilty.

 

Kagome's eyes widened, “Don't tell me your mother entered you into the contest?” she guessed. Sango laughed.

 

“Close. My little brother did, he thought I needed someone in my life. I never told my family I was dating Miroku.”

 

“That must suck; my mother did enter me into the contest however. I found out a few days ago, before I came here.” Kagome said to Sango. Sango smiled, her lips curving up into a huge grin. “Hey, why don't we go to my room to speak?” Nodding her head, Sango followed behind Kagome as she unlocked her door and entered her room.

 

Time passed by fast as they chatted about what high schools they went to, and what they did for jobs. When Kagome had first heard Sango's voice she knew she had heard it somewhere else before, and she was right. The two had gone to high school together, though they did not talk much back then… They could sure talk up a storm now. An hour had passed by so far, and Kagome's eyes were starting to droop. Her shoulders hunched, and she rubbed her eyes to stay awake a bit longer.

 

“Hey, Kagome, I think we should sleep now. It's 1:00 a.m. We should get some rest; our schedules say we're getting up at 7.” Sango yawned, however Kagome had never heard her. She was already fast asleep. Sango smiled and covered Kagome up with a blanket, she left but not before turning off the lights.

 

Kagome woke up and yawned, she stretched out on the bed. It was another day, `Another bright day', she thought as a ray of sunlight blinded her for a moment. Yawning for the second time, she dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom next to her room.

 

She took a cold and warm shower to wake herself up, brushed her teeth, fixed her hair, and did some simple make up. Going out of her room and down the stairs, she headed for the kitchen. Kagome heard footsteps in the kitchen and the sound of the refrigerator door opening. She poked her head into the kitchen and gasped as she saw Kurama with an apron on him. He looked so adorable! `Where's a camera when you need one?' , thought Kagome.

 

The red head turned when he heard a `thump'. It seemed Kagome had fell on her butt as she tried to balance and take a picture with the disposable camera she had found.

 

“Hello, Miss Kagome.” He said, his lips turning up into a smile. “What is it that you are doing up so early? Are the others up?” Kurama let his eyes dart around, he would have to eat his breakfast early if they were awake.

 

“Oh, it says to wake up at 6 a.m. on my schedule. No the others are not awake, yet.” Kagome smiled at him, her eyes danced in mirth.

 

“Well then, would you like to have breakfast with me?” He asked ready to get two plates out for them. His green eyes studied her; today it seemed she was dressed in faded jeans and a pink tank top.

 

She blushed under his gaze, “Sure.” Kagome went to a drawer to look for the silverware. Kurama pointed to the drawer to her left, nodding she grabbed two forks and two napkins. Heading towards the small table in the kitchen to set up the silverware and put the napkins under the forks, and knives.

 

The two ate in an awkward silence, not knowing what to say to one another. Kurama cleared his throat, deciding to break the silence.

“How are you today, Miss Kagome?” he asked.

 

“I'm fine, Kurama. Could you please drop the Miss?” Kagome said, “How are you?” she smiled.

 

“I'm okay, if you count being molested by girls normal, yes of course I'm okay.” Sarcasm dripped off his elegant voice.

 

“Would the paparazzi be better?” she quipped back.

 

“Yes, if they were straight male guys.” Kurama shuddered at the thought of those guys weren't straight.

 

“I suppose that would be bad…” Kagome drawled out.

 

“Of course it would be!” he insisted. Kagome just giggled and continued to eat, shaking her head once in a while. Kurama would, during the time, catch her eyes and then would duck his head.

 

`What am I doing?' he asked himself. `Maybe… I'm in love…' he shook that thought off. It was too soon to tell anyway, he had just met her a few days ago. He tilted his head, laying his cheek on his palm, his gaze pinned her down. There was something there, there was chemistry between them, and he knew that for sure. Kagome giggled again bringing him out of his thoughts. He caught her eyes with his own; her blue ones twinkled with laughter. “What's so funny?” he asked finally.
