Chapter 10

“Sesshoumaru?”

Slanting his eyes toward his chosen, he replied, “Hn.”

Knowing what she wanted to ask, but really not sure how to say it, she decided to err on her usual side of bluntness, “So…why is it you refer to yourself in the third person? I mean, your dad doesn’t do it, so…”

Nodding his silver head he replied, “This Sesshoumaru honors his mother’s way of speaking by referring to himself thusly. Though you may notice, I do integrate first person speech frequently and have been doing so increasingly over the last decade or so. In my previous position, as Senior Vice President of my father’s business, no one questioned my way of speaking, considering it an idiosyncrasy. In the medical community, however, it draws undue attention. Doctors are…fussy.”

Giggling at hearing such a word coming from the proper daiyoukai, she agreed, nodding, “Absolutely! You don’t know the half of it. Even the nicest of them gets condescending from time to time. They have no idea how to do anything outside their field. Even simple office machines like a copier are outside of their grasp! I mean, seriously, you hit the little green button and it copies. How hard is that? And we have file cabinets with the forms they need right at their feet under their desks but they come halfway across the department to ask me for them. Helpless!”

“Hn. You have captured them utterly.” A thought occurred to him and he asked, “How is this Sesshoumaru seen by the non-medical staff?”

Suddenly finding the scenery whizzing by outside very interesting, Kagome sighed as she twisted her lips in consternation. “Well…” ‘C’mon, Kagome, he’s not going to kill you while he’s driving. Besides, he asked for it.’ Her truthfulness winning out, she braced herself as she confessed, “I think the word I hear most often is ‘prick.’”

The daiyoukai stunned the girl sitting next to him by laughing out loud. It was a deep, rich, rumbling sound that she felt all the way to her heart and caused an instant reaction that caught her breath in her throat and had her crossing her legs and taking some deep breaths.   Sesshoumaru had never been one to laugh openly, but as his chosen was so honest and open with him, he was sure it would be a regular occurrence. Detecting the scent of her arousal, he made a vow that it would be so. “This Sesshoumaru has been called such before. This does not surprise me.” Once again stuck by a playful whim he couldn’t help but add, “Though I am shocked to hear such a word from your lips.”

Sesshoumaru saying the word lips made Kagome think of kissing and she nearly groaned at the mental picture that brought to mind. ‘What is wrong with me? Do I really have to be such horn dog around him? He’s Inuyasha’s brother for gods’ sake! Get a grip, Kagome! Dog demon noses, remember?’ Him realizing the effects of her hentai thoughts was just one thing she couldn’t deal with.   She just knew he’d get creeped out and probably would stop talking to her the rest of the long trip to her mother’s. And she really didn’t do well with silence. Pushing the most random and innocent thought she could come up with—remembering the time Buyo squeezed out her toothpaste on to the bathroom counter and painted her bathroom mirror with it—she collected herself enough to reply, “Oh, you shouldn’t be surprised at that. I say all kinds of naughty things.”

As his miko went white in the face, eyes growing large in horror at her unintentionally suggestive words, he smirked and caught a glimpse at her as she covered her mouth with her hand from the corner of his eye. ‘This Sesshoumaru has no doubt you do, my chosen.’ To her, however, he played it cool, “Surely you do not have as foul a tongue as my younger sibling?”

Relieved that he wasn’t going to embarrass her further and regaining herself with a laugh, she said, “No one swears as much as Inuyasha. But I have given him a run for his money when I get angry.” Somewhat reluctantly she admitted, “I have a pretty wicked temper.”

Dreaming of how he could use that temper to his advantage, turning that energy into passion, he blinked heavily as he refocused his eyes on the road ahead of him. To her he said, “I have heard much of this temper, that you can subdue my brother with a single word. It seems to be a great joke in the family but I could never persuade anyone to tell me what that word was.”

He ended on a hopeful note and turned his head to look at her, a single dark eyebrow raised.

Laughing, she confided, “Sit.” His eyebrow climbed still higher and she laughed again. “The first time I got angry with him I told him ‘sit, boy!’ and it kinda stuck. I save it for when I’m really pissed now and I guess I’m scary enough that he backs down. I just pattern my rage into the way my mum used to act when she was angry. She’s one scary lady when she’s crossed. And it works great when people are trying to pull one over on me like when I take my car to the garage.” ‘This is so much better. I mean, I can’t look too long into those eyes of his, but he’s focused on the road and this is kinda nice talking with him like this.’

Thinking of his chosen standing up for herself when others would try to take advantage of her made the demon swell with pride. ‘For all that she has such a big, innocent heart and for all that has been done to her, she still has spirit.’

Back at the Taisho estate, Kagome and Sesshoumaru were the hot topic of conversation. It had started off innocently enough with Izayoi telling Inuyasha and Shiori, “You know, he was actually sleeping with her in his arms when we came downstairs. He didn’t even notice our presence and wake until we turned away!” But had quickly progressed to Inuyasha’s assessment of just how long before Sesshoumaru had her bent over his car on the side of the highway. The rest of the family was not amused.

“What? Oh, c’mon! I know you guys saw what happened outside before they left—let alone smelled them! If I hadn’t bailed him out, he would have mounted her right there in the driveway.” Inuyasha loved watching his stick-up-his-ass older brother make a fool of himself over his best friend. He had sneered at him when Inuyasha would go on and on about Shiori, scoffing that when his beast chose he would never lower himself to what was, in his opinion at the time, foolishness.

“Yasha, I really don’t think you have any room to talk after how we acted when we met. Leave them be,” his wife said, trying to convince him that such things didn’t need pointing out.

“Whatever. Hey, you know what amazes me? Not that I think she’s any less beautiful, but you have to admit, the girl has gotten heavy and even though there’s been improvement, she’s still only got half a smile. Besides that, Sesshoumaru has always gone after the most beautiful and most powerful demonesses he could get, you know? Kagome with her being cursed and human and stuff…I mean, she’s the total opposite of his type.” Sensing they were going to cut him off he held his hands up and said, “Just wait a second, damn it! I mean…what I’m getting at is that Kagome knows she’s not his type. The way she thinks, he could be all over her and she’d come up with some reason to make it not about her. She’ll think he’s just teasing her or she’ll think it’s just his way of being nice to her ‘cause she’s pack. The bastard could even tell her point blank that she’s his soul mate and she’ll laugh it off, thinking he’s making a fucking joke. The girl has zero self-confidence and she’s never going to believe she’s worthy of him.   All she sees is the bad stuff and she never sees how awesome she is. I just have no idea how he’s gonna get past that.” As he finished, the hanyou’s puppy ears laid flat on his head and he frowned in worry over his best friend.

His mother could see that her son was scared for Kagome. She was the first person outside of herself and her mate to show her son love and real friendship and she knew they would always share a strong bond. To her, the answer was obvious. “Sweetheart, I know you’re afraid for her, but you don’t have to be. Sesshoumaru will follow your advice and slowly work his way into her heart. As he spends time with her, he’ll fall in love with her. It’s like you said, she’s the opposite of the females he’s dated in the past: she is kind and caring, she is funny and smart, and she loves with her whole heart. You know yourself how rare that is. And when he falls for her, he will do everything in his power to make her admit she loves him, too. And you know she will love him back, despite herself. Don’t worry. It will work out. And she’ll have all of us to come to when she needs someone to talk to.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. But he better not fuck it up by asking her about her face or something.” Knowing how sensitive she was about her disfigurement, they all silently agreed.
