Author Note: I know that Sesshomaru's intentions have not been clear so far, and before now, I couldn't think of a reason as to his actions. But have no fear readers, it will all soon become clear in this chapter. It wasn't until that I actually sat down and really thought about his actions that I could come up with a semi-reasonable explanation. But in any case, on with the story!! And HAPPY READING!! (^_^); Hope ya love this chapter as much as the rest of the story.
Chapter Ten:
With only minutes left to spare to get to the party, they raced though the city, and made it just in time to just get there just when the festivities started. She listened to her heals click and clack against the marble floor, while admiring all the gorgeous and elegant paintings, and a few worldly vases.
"Wow! This place is huge!" She thought as she looked up at the sky-high ceiling and huge oil paintings of famous people throughout Japan's history. Some she's met in the Feudal Era, when traveling with Inuyasha and company.
She followed the sound of music, laughter, chatter and the sounds of heals on the floor. Soon she came to an opening, where she seen a huge crowd of people dancing, chatting with one another, and casually sipping there wine or champagne. Standing in the opening, she watched the people interact with one another. It was like a new breed of humans to her that she didn't know or understand.
"What am I doing here? I don't belong here." Kagome thought. Wondering who had sent her the invitation in the first place. And why. Scanning the room, she didn't see any one that she recognized.
She was about to turn around and leave without looking for who sent her the invite, when she heard a males voice say, "Mmm...you're one fine looking pussy cat tonight." She knew the voice, but she couldn't think of where she knew it from.
Turning around, she seen a young man, who seemed like he was her age, with a medium build, short silver hair with red tips, and the unmistakable purple moon, she knew only to be Sesshomaru's mark, on his forehead. "No...it couldn't be...Sesshomaru?!" She gasped
He shook his head and smirked. "Think a little more...recent."
"More recently..."
"The sweet smell of your fear was all over your room, that night way back when..."
Feeling a bit uneasy, she started to back away from him.
He started laughing, "No, not him. The other person that was there...."
"I didn't stick around to find out his name..."
"At the well."
-FLASH BACK-
A few minutes later, she heard him call her name from the top of the well.
"Sesshomaru?" She asked suspiciously.
"No. My name isn't Sesshomaru."
"How is it that you know me, and how the hell did you get in my house?"
"Because... so to speak, I'm your guardian angel..."
"And your name is...."
"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Inu-" Kagome quickly climbed out of the well and laid a huge wet one on him. He pulled her away, shocked, though he continued, "-Keiji, but everyone calls me Kei."
-END FLASH BACK-
"KEI?!"
He smiled. "I'm glad that you remembered."
"Oh my god! Wait, you are real right, and not just my imagination?!"
He burst out laughing. "I'm as real as you and... your child."
She looked at him suspiciously, "How did you know about my daughter?"
He pointed to his nose.
"No freaking way." Kagome gasped. Then she became quite. "You're a youkai too?"
He let out a small chuckle. " Hai, and I'm not the only one here." Glancing up, he seen some one and then nodded.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
He turned back to Kagome, "You'll know soon enough."
A tall graceful young woman in a maroon cocktail dress came over to her and Kei, gave her a once over and smiled. "I take it that this is the famous Higurashi Kagome. Am I correct?"
Kagome eyed her suspiciously, "Yea, who are you?"
"Rin Taiyukii."
Surprised, Kagome immediately bowed, "I'm sorry for being rude. Please forgive me!"
Rin chuckled a little. "It's alright. Kei, you may go now. And thank you."
"You're welcome mother, I'm doing just what I was asked of." Then he muttered something about not wanting to get blamed as he walked away.
Kagome looked at the young woman, she looked just a few years older then her, but her eye told decades of stories. "Kagome," She said as she held out her arm for her to take. Kagome looked at her, not sure of what to make of the gesture. "Please, follow me." She turned and walked away.
Uneasily, Kagome followed, unsure why these people, obviously NOT in her social class, had invited her to a fancy gathering, such as this one. She also wondered who would have sent it to her.
"Tai senpai,"
"Rin, please."
"Rin, I'm sorry. But I can't help but believe that somewhere there is a catch as to why I was invited here tonight."
"You're right to believe that, and you're right, there is a catch. But it's one that I find that I know you would want to have."
"May I know what exactly the catch is?"
"You'll know in time...You'll know in time...."
Kagome let out a sigh.
Rin leaned into her and whispered, "I know what today is for you." Shrugging, Rin said, "Think of it as... a birthday present." she smiled, "By the way, happy birthday."
"Thank you...." Kagome blushed.
"Rin-san," A male voice called, they both turned and seen the man in question, he had short black hair with green eyes and a medium muscular build. "You look lovely as usual."
"Oh, Direk, you can stop with the flattery. I see right through you."
He laughed, "But Rin-san, I can't help it my dear, not when you look this ravishing. As is this charming little number, my god, just who is this lovely one beside you?" Direk said, grinning at Kagome.
"This is Higurashi Kagome....so be gentle with her Direk."
"I'm always gentle with the ladies.... I'm always gentle with you...." He winked at her.
She playfully slapped his arm. She turned to Kagome and said, "I'm sorry Kagome, this is dear friend of mine, Direk."
He grabbed her hand, kissed her knuckles and said, "It's a pleasure." He smiled.
"Now Direk, remember what I said. Be gentle....He won't be too happy."
"Um, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but you two are starting to make me feel more like an object then a person."
"Oh! I'm sorry Hun."
"Kagome-san, would you like to dance?"
"I don't know how to dance."
"Sure you do..."
"No, really I don't."
He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the dance floor, and positioned his hands in the right places, and said, "Then I'll teach you."
"I don't mean to be nosy or anything, but who was Rin-san talking about?"
He smiled, "My partner."
"Oh," She said, a little disappointment in her voice.
Within a short amount of time, Kagome learned to waltz. She learned that Direk was a professional dance teacher and sometimes taught the stars to dance. After a while though, she had to break away. She liked him very much, but there just came a time where she needed to be alone for a few minutes.
She started towards the balcony when a server passed her and she grabbed a flute of champagne. (QA/N: The legal drinking age in Japan is 20. I know that Kagome is underage, but it's not like she's going to drink an excessive amount and go driving. Hell, she can't even drive!) She headed towards the balcony and leaned on the rail where it met the house.
"Inuyasha...what would you have to say when you're human on this night and me a demon?" Kagome thought to herself.
She tried to imagined the look he'd have or the words he might say. At first she imagined him with a "What the fuck" combined with a shocked expression, and then stunned. Then maybe a hurt expression, then finally she imagined him enraged. She couldn't even begin to think of the expressions or emotions that he might have or show when she told him that he has a daughter. She let out a deep sigh. That's if she's able to.
She heard people inside laughing and having a good time. She didn't belong here. So what was she doing here?! These people were obviously above her in the social class. The only one she really knew was Kei, and even then, she really didn't know him.
She wondered who else was a youkai. Trying to make sense of what Kei had said. She took a small sip of her champagne.
A few moments later, a tall graceful looking man, with short white hair, and a long fluffy looking scarf. But that's not the only thing that caught her attention. No. It was the purple crescent shaped mark on his forehead. Kagome nearly fell off the side of the railing from the shock. "Oh my GOD! Is that Sesshomaru?!"
It was only then that he noticed that he wasn't alone on the balcony and turned around and confirmed her fear. Glaring at her, he narrowed his eyes.
Kagome slowly drew back.
Smiling slyly, he said, "Have no fear, I intend you no harm." was all he said before stalking back inside.
He walked back into the main room as he thought. "I'm going to ravish her!I know she did it. But I guess that it couldn't be helped. I guess now is as good time as any for Inuyasha. His performance at work over the past two years has decreased drastically. And he's way too moody... Sometimes I wonder if he's starting to PMS."
Once he found Rin, she excused them politely from the small group that she was conversating with, then he pulled her aside, and asked, "Why?"
"What?" She asked innocently.
"Why did you go behind my back and bring her here?"
She leaned against the wall crossing her arms over her chest. "Because. You're his brother. And I'm tired of watching him slowly go insane not being with her. The last time that the poor guy got laid was what? Five hundred years ago? Personally if I were him and he found out that you were hiding the woman that I loved from me I would rip that tail out and stick it up your ass with that stick."
"Do you think that I like keeping that fact from my brother?"
"Yeah, other wise, why would you do it? You've done it for two years!"
"Listen you! I may have not like my brother when you and I first met back four hundred and some odd years ago, but recently we have resolved our differences and made the relationship what it is today. And I would not have done this personally to ruin what we have. I did it because I thought that it had to be done."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you do it?"
"I don't know. We'll talk more about this later. Right now I have to find Inuyasha."
"Why? To tell him that he has to leave?"
"No. To tell him that she's here and hopefully with time, he'll forgive me."
