I sighed for about the hundredth time in the last hour. I was really going to meet Sesshoumaru at
six. Why? Because he gave me no choice?
Yeah, I wish I could use that as an excuse.
Ya know the phrase ‘Curiosity killed the cat’? Yeah well in this case it just might be
true. But I can’t help it. I’m curious. There was something in his eyes that I wanted to see again.
So here I am, standing in front of my mirror feeling
strangely self-conscious. He said dress
nicely but what was his opinion of nicely?
I decided on a simple short black skirt with slits on each side, knee
high black boots and a red peasant top that reminded me too much of Inuyasha’s
usual garbs. Swiping away a tear I
finished zipping my boot when I heard the car pull up and honk, rather
annoyingly.
I sighed, rolled my eyes and headed out, giving Souta one
quick smack on the head. Lovingly, of
course. I got two steps out the door
when I paused and gaped. Sesshoumaru
was leaning against a green jaguar, his arms crossed over his chest, looking
off in some direction as if he hadn’t heard me coming, but I knew better.
He looked…snazzy…not that just wasn’t strong enough. Drop-dead gorgeous was more like it. Now there aren’t many men who can pull off a
black Armani suit with long silver hair and long slender hands with nails that
were a tid bit pointier than they should be.
My feet were finally working and I was slowly approaching him. As I got closer I noticed he had a blood red
shirt and a black tie. I was suddenly
feeling dangerously underdressed.
He finally looked at me, stopping me in my tracks. His eyes started moving from my face to my
neck and further down until he got to my boots then his eyes came back up to
meet mine just as slowly. I couldn’t
help but blush, I tried not to, honestly.
He smiled suddenlyn hen held a hand out to me. I took a weak step forward and took his offered hand. As I was passing him to get in the car he
leaned down and whispered in my ear.
“You look gorgeous as usual.” Again I could feel the heat
rushing up my face.
“I’m nothing compared to you.” I said, trying to gain my
indifference back. “You always did have
impeccable style, even back in the Sengoku Jidai.” He gave a quick nod with a
bit of a smirk. It was his way of
saying he enjoyed the comment and the effect he was having on me. I tried to convince myself that he wasn’t
having an effect on me. He wasn’t. He wasn’t.
He wasn’t. He-
“Is something on your mind?” He asked as he started the car
then we were moving.
“A lot.” I replied blandly.
A few moments of silence past.
“Would you like to share?” I frowned.
“I have a few questions, Sesshoumaru.” A ghost of a smile
graced his lips but his eyes stayed glued to the road. Sesshoumaru driving. Somehow that seemed…wrong.
“I thought you might.
We’re here.” I blinked. So soon?
Didn’t we just get in the car?
He turned to me, as I went for the door. Click. My eyes snapped to
his. “You’re awfully quiet.”
“Where are we?” he paused, something passing behind those
beautiful golden eyes.
“My place.” I looked at the mansion he just dubbed his
place.
“Why?” I asked.
Paranoid, who me?
“I have my reasons.”
“Does it include pain?” He chuckled lightly.
“I hoped you would rather enjoy it.” The heat in my face was
leaving and so was the color. He
frowned. “Are you alright?” I gave a slight nod.
“Just need some air.
That’s all.” Is it weird to be
freaked out, being trapped in the car with a known killer? As if sensing my unease he turned worried
eyes toward me but his face seemed indifferent.
“Kagome, I’m not going to hurt you. Honestly.
You must believe me.” I gave another shaky nod.
“I know. At least I
think I know. I just…” I sighed and
turned to face him. “Can you blame me,
Sesshoumaru? I mean until the end you
were trying to kill me.”
“And that is why I wish to apologize.” I blinked at him.
“You?
Apologize? Somehow that doesn’t
seem like you.” Another ghost of a
smile.
“As I said Kagome, people change.”
“But not you.”
“Even me.” He replied firmly.
“But-” He cut me off.
“No more questions for now.
Let us go in.” I frowned as he got out of the car and came to my
door. He opened the door and offered me
a hand again, which I took without hesitating.
A tall orangish-red haired teenager came running out of the house with
the silliest grin on his face. My
senses were screaming ‘Youkai Youkai!’ but I could tell this youkai meant no
harm.
Before I could duck the teenager wrapped his arms around me
crying my name. I stared wide-eyed at
Sesshoumaru who looked slightly amused.
“Kagome! Gods it’s
good to see you! How have you
been? Where’d you go after we killed
Naraku? I was so scared, I thought I’d
lost you forever!” Then it dawned on me.
“SHIPPOU!” This time I was the one to hug the hell out of
him. Just as quickly I pulled
away. “How? Why are you with Sesshoumaru?
How…?” He gave a toothy grin.
“Youkai can live a long time Kagome. Sesshoumaru and I have been waiting for you for
a while.” My eyes shot from one to the
other then back.
“I know they live long but THIS long? Crikey if I had known…” I hugged him again
as tears streamed down my face. My
Shippou. I have my Shippou again.
“I was so scared.” His voice was sad and muffled against my
neck. “I lost my mom and dad then I
found you.” He hugged me tighter. “Then
I lost you too. You were my family Kagome,
my mother.” The tears kept streaming down my face and my knees gave out. Shippou followed me down to my knees as I
broke down into sobs. I never really
allowed myself a good cry when I came back.
I always denied the tears and now they were coming out full force. I needed this.
“Shippou…I missed you so much. I thought I’d never see you again!” I managed to choke out over
sobs. I grabbed onto him tighter. “Please don’t leave me.” There was a muffled
laugh and we pulled away.
“I’m the one who should say that.” He grinned down at
me. “Don’t worry mom, I’m not going
anywhere.” I choked out a laugh.
“Don’t call me that in public, people will think we’re
weird.” His grin widened.
“Let them.yes"> Sesshoumaru stopped suddenly and looked at the kitsune>
>
“You are welcome to join us Shippou, if you so please.” A
hint of mischief sparkled in the kitsune’s eyes.
“I think I’ll leave you two alone tonight.” I almost
protested but he stopped me. “I promise
to dine with you soon but I have business to take care of.” I felt an
undeniable urge to pout but nodded.
With a quick peck on my cheek he was gone. Must be that demon speed.
Sesshoumaru offered me his arm and again I took it without
hesitating. We made our way through the
huge mansion as we passed people who bowed to us. One person approached Sesshoumaru.
“Nishi-sama dinner is ready when you are.” My eyes widened
and shot to Sesshoumaru. He nodded to
the man and kept walking.
“Nishi-san? From
Nishi corp.?” He smirked slightly.yes"> Every time you glared at me or made some snide remark I fought
the urge to smile. You amused and
excited me. I felt I had found an equal
in you.”
“But
I’m human.” He smiled lightly.
“Yes,
that annoyed me for the first few centuries.”
He stopped suddenly. His face
was still calm but there was an emotion in his eyes…confusion, realization? Both?
I wasn’t sure.
“What?
He
shook his head suddenly. “Nothing. Kagome you have to eve eve me when I tell
you that I mean you no harm. Shippou
can vouch for me if need be, but I would rather you trust my word.” I
considered his words then nodded.
“So
you’re telling me that in the last five hundred years you’ve gotten over your
hatred of humans?” Again he smiled slightly.
“I
can stand them more if that is what you are asking. I still do not like to be compared to one.” I mouthed an
‘oh’.yes"> A couple of months ago he changed his opinion.” I nodded slightly.
“Yeah
I suppose I’ve changed too.” He squeezed my hand lightly and I smiled up at
him.yes"> In fact I would be surprised if you did. However I would like it if you would intern
for me. It would give us some time to
see if we can get over the past.”
“I’d
have to get the paperwork from my advisor and you’d have to comply with my
class schedule.” He gave a slight nod.
“Then I suppose I shouldn’t refuse an offer this amazing. My classmates will be jealous.” I smirked.
“They
should be. Maru Nishi doesn’t let just
anyone intern for him.” I smiled wider.
“Wait
you forgot to put the ‘this’ in the sentence.
‘This Maru Nishi doesn’t let just anyone intern for him.’ It sounds more like you when you do it that
way.” He gave the first full smile I’d
seen on him and it took my breath away.
Suddenly his face went blank.
“Are
you teasing this Sesshoumaru?” He asked with a quirked brow. I feigned innocence.
“Iie,
Nishi-san. I’m just reminding you of
your past.” He scoffed playfully.
p clp class=MsoNormal style='mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'>“You
“Huh?”
Yeah I know, that was graceful.
“Oh
didn’t I tell you?” And there it was again that mischievous glint in his
eyes. “Interns stay here during their
internship. Besides, Shippou needs his
mother near him to keep the annoying whelp in order.” I stood and took his offered hand.
“But
my things…”
“I’ll
have Matsui send for them.” Me live with Sesshoumaru? I opened my mouth to protest but that’s not what came out.
“Okay.”
Damn my mouth has a mind of it’s own.

Okies
I’m not sure if I’m happy with this chapter but I’m gonna post it anyway cuz
I’ve been working on it for a while now.
Btw: If Sess seems a little out of character try to remember it’s been
500 years and he’s getting pretty old (Even though he doesn’t look it) he’s
been forced to live with the one thing he hates most and forced to act and look
like them too so it’s kinda rubbing off on him. Plus he could just be going senile ne? ^_^
Translations:
Nishi:
West (Thanks for the suggestion Saiyuna-san!
I decided to translate it to Japanese!)
Maru I just got from his name.
Iie:
No (no brainer)
Did I
use anything else? Nah.
