Chapter 12: Fate Controls Us
A cheerful Kagome ordered her meal from the waitress. “I’d like the big breakfast with three eggs and extra bacon, half uncooked!”
“Hn….I’ll have the same.”
“Oh and a bowl of porridge as an appetizer!”
“Make that two.”
The woman scribbled out everything and giving a bright smile of her own told them she’d get their porridge right out. When she walked off Sesshomaru took the time to look around the greasy spoon type restaurant he was currently dining in. Kagome had insisted that she choose the restaurant when they were in the car. A five course meal at Peninsula Tokyo had caused the female to grow frantic at the thought of dining in such a place again. Luckily she calmed once he suggested she tell him where they could get a decent breakfast. The demoness had happily named a restaurant known as Satsuki. Only open til Brunch they had rushed out after securing her door (ie. some duct tape and the computer playing dog barking sounds on a loop) when she mentioned that they closed within the hour. They were lucky they were seated at all. The restaurant was completely empty, some of the other servers already performing the closing clean up.
“Sesshomaru-sama?”
Taken from his observations he held Kagome’s gaze, waiting for her to speak.
“I was just wondering what’s on your mind is all. You seem really in your head right now.”
“Hn. I was wondering what porridge was.”
“Wait. You ordered something without even knowing what it is?” She cocked her head to the side cutely, signaling with her body that she was confused.
“I have never eaten at this establishment before. You have. I merely followed your lead in your environment as you did in mine.”
“My...environment?”
“Yes. I am not accustomed to eating in a place like this. You were the same yesterday.”
Kagome put her head down when he mentioned the fiasco at the Park Hyatt. As stupid as it was, she had had a long talk with Socrates once she got in the apartment. He was such a scaredy cat. Every time her aura spiked he fled to the nearest hiding spot. Last time she was home and it happened she found him under her bed, hanging from the box spring. “I’m really very sorry for what happened Sesshomaru-sama. I can pay you back for that sake you had to buy, it’ll just have to be in installments and…”
“There is no need for that. I broke your door, invaded your privacy twice, and apparently emotionally damaged your feline eponym of a greek philosopher. After we buy your lock and cat food consider us even.”
The two once again shared their trademark awkward gaze. Mounting tension could have been cut with a knife at that point. They were both secretly thankful when the server returned with two bowls of what appeared to Sesshomaru to be lumpy mashed potatoes. She skillfully placed them in front of the two Inu Youkai and gesturing to the condiments on their table left them to enjoy their meal.
Picking up his spoon, he scooped up a bit of the porridge and tilted it to see it splat back into porringer. “This is…..” he began uncertain of what to call it.
“Its porridge. You pour your glass of milk in it, then add some sugar,” As she explained she did what she suggested. Stirring it up a bit, she took her first bite and hummed as the oatmeal entered her body.
Sesshomaru did the same thing she did. Hesitantly tasting it himself he was surprised to find that he actually liked it. He had never eaten anything like this before. Only the finest fruits, vegetables, eggs, and meats had ever been served to him. This must be what ‘home cooking’ tasted like. A contented growl passed his lips as he continued to eat, pausing only when he heard Kagome giggle. “What?”
“You purred. Reminded me of Socrates.”
“No. I rumbled in contentness. I am an Inu not a Neko.”
“I have lived with a cat for three years, I know a purr when I hear it.”
“Think as you will woman. I merely like this food better than I thought I would.”
“Okay whatever you say Sesshoneko-sama.” Laughing at the nickname for him, some of the porridge went down the wrong way. While she began coughing it back up, the Inu only watched in amusement at seeing her choke.
“Hey that wasn’t funny. What if I died!” She wheezed as the last of the meal cleared her air way.
“That’s what you deserve for calling me a cat, woman.”
“You called me woman instead of my name.”
“Hn. I forgot you don’t like that, but I do not appreciate being called neko either.”
“Okay, how about this, for each time you call me woman, or girl, or anything other than Kagome, i’ll call you Sesshoneko-sama instead.”
“Hn. Agreed.”
“Great and since you’ve called me outside my name almost eight times since learning my real one. I have seven free shots at you.”
“Three.”
“Three? I’ve kept count.” Ticking off the times on her fingers, she subtracted the times she called him neko and once more got her same answer.
“You called me it while we made the deal. And you said the word neko many more times. You get only three opportunities to insult me.”
“Hey those don’t count. I was just using them in conversation.”
“Irregardless you said it so it stands.”
Giving him a frown she tried to negotiate “Hmp….How about six times?”
“three”
“five”
“three”
“four and three fourths”
“You want to call me a cat three fourths of the way?” Sesshomaru eyed Kagome as though she had lost her mind. Clearly she had. Why was he indulging her with this? This was the most random thing.
“Yea I just say Sesshoneko and cut out the title of course.”
“How about you just cut out the honorific altogether?”
“You mean just call you Sesshoneko?”
Sighing heavily he explained what he meant. “I mean no more using my title when addressing me period. Just call me Sesshomaru.”
Kagome’s eyes got big at this one. Were they really already so close he wanted them to go on a first name basis? “Uh. I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Why not? I am giving you permission. You have no issue swearing at me or making fun of me, why is my name the one thing you treat with respect?”
“I...I don’t know...Its just really weird. Like I know I should respect you and be on my best behavior around you but sometimes I feel like I do that already. Even when I don’t….”
“Hn. Could it have something to do with your aura falling when you are near me?”
“Perhaps. That’s the biggest mystery of all, why I feel like I have to be around you even though we run in completely different worlds.”
“You...feel as though you should be around me?”
“Yea. I don’t know why, I just feel...safe when you're around. The past few days whenever I felt my anxiety rising, it never got out of hand when you were around…”
“Hn. That was very honest of you.”
“Well i’m not gonna lie about how I feel…”
“Yes but…” He was interrupted by the waitress who returned with their main meals. As skillful as the five star server, she picked up their dirty dishes and cups in one hand and served their large meal in the other. Sesshomaru was actually impressed. Once more she left them to their meal. Kagome inhaled the scents of the food on her plate. The bacon here was out of this world. Looking up at her companion she smiled at seeing the hungry glint in his eye, he liked what he smelled too. Remembering he was in the middle of saying something she encouraged him to keep talking.
“Now then Sesshomaru-sama. What were you saying?”
“Huh...Oh...nothing...we should hurry, your class will begin in the next twenty minutes.”
“Right! Okay!” Clapping her hands, the inu demoness tore into her meal like a savage. A major difference from Miyako yesterday who ate like a bird: one small peck at a time. Kagome had a big appetite for a female.
“What are you looking at?”
“You eat.”
“Well you’d look like this too if you dug in.”
“Hn. I have more table manners than you Kagome.”
Dropping her plate to look at him she gazed deeply into his eyes her expression was blank. Then an evil smile crept across her face as she thought of something. The feeling something bad was about to happen came over him.
“Sesshomaru-sama?” she asked sweetly.
“Yes...Kagome-san?…”
“You know how you wanted me to help you with your studies?”
“Yes. I wanted us to start tonight, I have a Microbiology test in two days.”
“Well guess what?”
A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek as she continued to have that sick smile.“What?”
“I can’t do it unless I’m sure Socrates is alright.”
“What does your cat have to do with anything?”
“Well he needs to be near me at all times to feel secure and safe and when you broke down the door you caused him massive emotional trauma….”
“So what?”
“We can only study if we do so in my house.”
He calmed down as he she stated what she wanted him to do. That didn’t seem to hard. Her apartment was only the size of half a room in his home. Maybe less than that.
“Yes and a random person in my house is gonna make him suspicious at first so there’s one other thing.”
“And that is?”
“I’m so glad you asked!”
A/N: What do you think the thing is he has to do with the cat? I promised, and I delivered. Hope you all like it please review. And I want to add a piece of myself to this story so i’ll let you all in on a secret. Some of the situations I put in these chapters, happened to me in real life. I won’t say which ones though because a lot more are coming, some of them dark. I’ve been battling feelings of hatred towards someone for months now, someone who hurt me deeply. Writing out this story has been kind of my outlet. It's kinda where I get the idea for the evil characters. Not giving out any specific names because his was pretty common. But since you all like this story and the butt hole that is Inu no Taisho, you can thank a real life man I am only going to call A for helping me create a piece of shit like he is in reality.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
