Chapter three
Kagome woke up feeling excited to go to school. She still couldn’t believe that Sesshoumaru and Shippo were still alive. Quickly she got dressed and ran downstairs to have breakfast. Finishing that, she hurried to the door, put on her shoes, said a quick good-bye to the family and was out the door. Smiling, she practically skipped all the way to school. She almost ran when she saw the school in sight, but instead continued to walk since she was early. It would look odd for her to run to school. Finally being inside she made her way to her first class. No one was there yet, so she took her seat and waited.
The bell rang and classes began, Kagome smiled as Sesshoumaru walked into the room. It was real, yesterday really happened. She watched as he walked to his desk, grabbed a piece of paper and did attendance. Her smile got bigger when he said her name and looked at her with a slight smile and gave a short nod. As class begun, Kagome’s mind began to wander off and remember times in the past. She remembered when she first met Sesshoumaru and how evil she thought he was. Then she remembered how over time he didn’t attack them as much, but helped out when they were in a tight spot. He had even started speaking more towards the end before Naraku’s defeat. Snapping out of her thoughts and feeling someone standing next to her she turned to see Sesshoumaru staring at her with that familiar emotionless mask he used to wear. Been awhile since she’d seen it, seeing him smile and chuckle she found much weirder, seeing his stoic face seemed to make her more comfortable.
While he had been teaching he had noticed when she had stopped paying attention. He let it go for a little bit until he noticed she would most likely be that way the rest of class unless he did something. He sighed and walked over to her, standing next to her until she noticed his presence. Seeing her look at him he spoke “welcome back to reality Higurashi, glad you can join us again”
Kagome blushed at being caught “sorry Mr. Taisho”
“Hmm, yes” he replied “well you can make up the time you spent daydreaming after school”
Hanging her head as she heard a few of her classmates snicker, she nodded “yes Mr. Taisho”
Kagome made sure to pay attention for the rest of his class. She became relieved when the bell went and started to head out. He was quick to remind her of her detention and she nodded before leaving. She didn’t feel like talking to him at the moment, she just wanted out of the class so she could move on and forget her embarrassment at being caught wrapped up in her memories. Sitting in her next class she felt her self calm down some and forget about that awkward moment of being caught daydreaming. And daydreaming of the taiyoukai himself no less, she sighed and couldn’t wait for the day to be over.
When school ended, Kagome made her way back to where her first class was. Walking in she noticed the room was empty, but took a seat near the front anyways. She then went and pulled out some of the history homework that she had to catch up on and proceeded to work on it. After a few minutes the door opened and the taiyoukai walked in. She glanced at him before continued to do her work, he said nothing as he went to take a seat at his desk and worked on his notes for the next day. Together they worked in silence for about 15minutes until; he finally spoke “what had you so distracted this morning?”
She sighed, not bothering to look at him “just got lost in thought”
“Does this happen often?” he asked, his tone held some sarcasm with the question “should I be expecting this to happen again?”
She gave a soft smile, already starting to get lost in thought again “I never used to get so lost in thought, but perhaps you should be expecting it again…for awhile at least”
Standing up, Sesshoumaru walked over to her and knelt beside her desk “what was it you were thinking about?”
Finally looking him in the eye, she answered “about everything”
He raised an eyebrow “or more specifically you were remembering events that happened long ago”
“Yeah” she agreed “but for me they don’t feel that long ago”
“No doubt” he reasoned “what has ended 500 years ago for me has only been 3 months for you. I can understand that everything is still fresh in your mind”
Kagome lowered her head to hide her tears that were starting to escape “it’s not just that, it’s just that seeing you and Shippo here brings back so many memories. Like how I first met you” she gave a choked laugh “and how you tried to kill me”
He gave a soft huff “well, you were in my way”
She bobbed her head as she tried to wipe her tears away “I know I was, but I’m just finding it hard to believe that I’m actually sitting here able to talk to you about it and we’re even joking about it”
“You’re just finding everything a bit over whelming” he stated. He didn’t doubt it either after all she had thought everyone was dead until he and Shippo walked into her life suddenly. He knew he had changed over the years, he showed more emotions now than he ever had and he was more open now than he was back then. So she must have been finding everything a little much to deal with. Placing his hands on her shoulders he stood up “come, I’ll take you home”
The drive home was mainly silent, but neither seemed to mind. Both were finding it comfortable just to be in a familiar presence. Eventually it was Kagome who broke the silence as they got closer to her home “I wonder what the school would think if they found out you were hanging around one of your students and driving them home”
“It would look bad” he admitted “but you and I have a history together before I was a teacher. Anyone asks about it, I’d tell them the truth”
“That you’re really a demon and that the student you’re hanging around with is the reincarnation of your half brother’s first love that was pulled into a well that took her 500 years in the past and we only met because you were trying to steal your half brother’s sword that your father gave him” she reasoned, sarcastically “oh and you also tried to kill said student because she was…in the way”
He chuckled “something like that” he joked “but I suppose I could also say that I knew you before I started my career in teaching and had no idea you’d be one of my students”
She looked at him and smiled “I suppose that might work better,” she raised an eyebrow, “how long you have been a teacher?”
“I’ve been teaching for about two years” he answered.
“What were you doing before then?” she asked.
“I own my own business” he replied “I was getting bored not being able to find a suitable challenge in the competition, so I started teaching for something to do”
Kagome turned to stare out the window “you own your own little business, that’s cool”
He laughed “it is not a little business, Kagome; it is a nation wide business”
She gasped as she whipped back to gawk at him “a nation wide business?!”
He gave a nod and chuckled “I own a large company that offers home security, as well as I supply top of the line security guards to those willing to pay for them, and a few little things here and there” he glanced at her with a bright smile “I am still a powerful man even in today’s world” the rest of the ride home was silent. When he pulled up in front of the shrine he turned to her as she got out “I will admit this, it is good to see you again”
Kagome smirked “this coming from a youkai that used to hate humans”
He returned the smirk “only those that got in my way”
“But I was always in your way”
He chuckled “true as that may be, you are the only human to get in my way and live”
“Sango got in your way too” she reminded
“You got in my way first” he mentioned “the slayer didn’t really get in my way as much as you did. You were my biggest problem”
She grinned “well, until we became allies”
He gave a nod “then you were my ally and by the end I almost considered you friend” he confessed “if you had stayed longer, in time, I would have called you friend eventually”
Kagome’s eyes widened at the confession “why didn’t you say anything then?!”
“Because I didn’t believe in discussing things that did not seem to matter” he admitted “I was young, foolish, and very prideful of my youkai heritage. I believe it would been considered lowering myself if I had befriended you or your friends” he gave a smile “but times have changed, I am older and more understanding now” seeing her give a small shy nod, he spoke “I’ll see you in class tomorrow”
This was the way it went on for the next month. Kagome would go to school and enjoy her day. She normally saw and spoke with Sesshoumaru after school, normally when she got detention from him for daydreaming in his class, but in the end he’d give her a ride home and they talked as he drove. She had noticed that her old friends still kept their distance and she decided she liked it that way. With them not hovering around her it gave her more time to be around Shippo. The kitsune would sometimes drop by with homemade lunches that he made himself and join her for lunch or he would show up and would walk her home. A few times he had come over to the house where they watched tv or even played Souta’s video games. Her brother seemed to be quite upset at always missing the kitsune since he was normally at a friends place or being with his girlfriend Hitomi. A few times she and Shippo even went out to catch a movie or even do shopping. Kagome was happy to have Sesshoumaru and Shippo with her to talk with.
“Kagome?” the deep and smooth voice came, bringing her from her thoughts.
“Hmm?” she said looking at him.
He narrowed his eyes a moment “we’re going to have to do something about that daydreaming”
She blushed “sorry”
“We’re here” he said
Glancing out the window of the hummer she saw she was indeed parked outside the shrine “thank you, Sesshoumaru” she said as she got out.
“I have something to ask you” he said, stopping her departure. Seeing he had her attention he continued “I would like to see more of you, not just in school. I would like to be able to actually sit down and talk instead of only talking during the drive to your house”
Kagome smiled “I would like that a lot”
He gave a small smile “tomorrow is Friday and there is no school the next day, would you like to come over to my place for supper?”
She nodded with a bright smile “that sounds nice; I would love to see your place”
“We’ll meet tomorrow after school by my car and I’ll drive you there” he started “Shippo will be home and he is offering to cook the supper”
She gasped “wow, I can’t wait”
“You’ll just have to” he smirked as he got ready to leave “see you tomorrow”
The next day after school, Kagome met Sesshoumaru by his hummer. Together they drove to his home that was just near the edge of the city. It wasn’t a big fancy mansion like she had thought it would be. Instead the house looked like any ordinary home from the outside. Following the taiyoukai in…even inside it looked like an average home. The style was done like back in the feudal era with the flooring and how the doors were all sliding doors just like the ones she remembered when they went and stayed a night in the villages headman’s homes.
“It’s nice Sesshoumaru” she said as she removed her shoes “it seems so cozy”
Just then Shippo came running to the front and wrapped her in a hug “Kagome! You’re finally here” he grinned “I can’t believe you’re finally over at our place”
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow “our place? Who pays the bills in this house?”
The kitsune gave a nervous laugh as stepped back from the woman and he rubbed the back of his head “awe, come on Sesshoumaru, we both live here”
“And technically you are old enough to be out on your own” he replied.
“Ah, but in today’s world who can really afford to live alone” he countered with a sly tone “it’s far more expensive, so again, who can really afford it?””
“You can” was the reply.
Kagome looked between the kitsune and the inu youkai. She couldn’t help, but start laugh softly at the scene the two were putting on. It seemed that she really had made a good choice in handing the care of Shippo over to Sesshoumaru. They seemed to get along well with each other. Even Sesshoumaru seemed to joke with the kitsune in a friendly manner. Yes, he had become everything she hoped he would become when it came to raising Shippo. He had kept his word and taught the kitsune everything he needed to know to survive.
Shippo turned when he heard a female laughing and he smirked. He supposed he and Sesshoumaru must have looked foolish behaving they were a moment ago. What could he say though; the taiyoukai had become a great role model for him growing up. He walked over and wrapped the girl in his arms once more. She had chosen the perfect person to watch him growing up. Though for the first year he didn’t think so since the taiyoukai barely talked and didn’t really have anything to do with him, but that slowly changed over time. Shaking his head from his thoughts he released the girl with a large smile “well anyways why don’t you make yourself comfortable Kagome, I’m making supper”
She gave him a bright smile “you also cooked those lunches you bring me once in awhile”
He gave a nod “you bet”
“Then I can’t wait, I’m sure it will be delicious” she complimented
The kitsune blushed “yeah well since graduating college I have some free time, besides, Sesshoumaru always makes me cook” he leaned down to her ear and whispered “I think it’s cause he can’t cook”
Finally removing his shoes and stepping more into the house, the taiyoukai glanced at him “who says I can’t, I just prefer you cook since you are currently doing nothing in your life while I on the other hand have a full time teaching position and am currently running a multi-billion dollar company”
Shippo sighed as he shot Kagome a smirk “I give up; I can never win an argument against him”
“Yet you persist on trying” the taiyoukai spoke calmly before turning to look at his guest “while he is making supper, would you like to watch a movie?”
Kagome looked at Shippo “you don’t need any help do you?”
He shook his head “nonsense Kagome, you’re our guest, you go watch a movie and I’ll make the supper”
Smiling, she nodded “well okay then” she followed the taiyoukai down the hall and into a large room that anyone could tell was the entertainment room. Movies lined the shelves along one wall while a large flat screen tv sat against another wall, speakers on either side of it. Across from the tv on the opposite wall was a very comfortable black leather couch. Kagome was in awe of the room it almost like being in your own personal theatre.
“Do you have a movie preference?” Sesshoumaru asked as he walked in the room.
Kagome mentally shook her head and focused on the taiyoukai “uum, no, not really”
Going to the movie case, he started looking at the selection of movies “then what are you in the mood to watch?”
She walked over and joined him. Taking a few minutes she looked over the movies and gasped when she saw a few of her favorites that she hadn’t been able to find “you have Cat Ballou? And Tank Girl?” she grinned “and the Pumpkinhead movies?”
“The Tank Girl movie belongs to Shippo” he replied “he had seen it over at his girlfriend’s place and decided he liked it so much he wanted to get it”
She blinked as she looked at him “Shippo has a girlfriend? He‘s never mentioned her”
“Perhaps I should have said ex-girlfriend” he corrected “they had dated for awhile in college”
“Why’d they break up?” she asked
Sesshoumaru grabbed the Cat Ballou movie and glanced at it “she wanted more than he was willing to give”
“Poor Shippo” she frowned.
He smirked “do not frown, he’s had at least 3 other girlfriends since then. All the girls he’s dated eventually want to settle down after only a few short months. Shippo is not ready to settle down quite yet and the girls don’t seem to like it. His way of thinking is if they don’t like it and aren’t willing to wait like he would for them till their ready, then he doesn’t want to continue to date them”
She nodded, feeling better about it “makes sense, I think the same way too”
He gave a nod of agreement before returning back to their first conversation “would you like to watch this one?” he asked, holding up the Cat Ballou movie.
She gave a nod “It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, how’d you come to know of it?”
He smirked as he lead her to the couch before going to put the movie on “I have lived for 500 years; it was a good movie back in 1969. Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda were very good actors and worked well together”
“You speak as if you’d met them” she joked.
“I did” he replied.
Kagome gasped at him as he came to sit next to her “y-you met Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda?”
“As well as a few other actors” he added.
“Like who?” she asked.
Taking a moment he thought about it “I have met Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Adam Sandler, and Will Smith to name a small few”
She grinned “ever meet any singers?” at his nod she scooted closer to him “like who?”
“If you’re thinking I met any of those rappers the only ones I’ve met were Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. Over the years I had taken a liking to classical music and then country. I have met Beethoven and Mozart, plus I have met Nat King Cole, Willie Nelson, The Judds, George Straight, and Brad Paisley to name a few of them”
Her eyes were wide “wow that is cool”
“Perhaps I will introduce you to a few of the ones I still talk with” he smirked as the movie started. As the movie progressed he took the time to watch her. He could see she was into the movie and most likely didn’t even realize how close she was to him from her excitement of him knowing some famous people. Slowly he put an arm around her and pulled her even closer. He saw her stiffen a little with the action before relaxing again, but still trying to have as little contact as possible. He watched her a moment as she finally relented in her muscles being in an awkward position and rested her head on his chest. Happy with the way things were going he resumed watching the movie.
As the movie was coming to an end, Shippo quietly walked into the room. He watched the scene of Sesshoumaru with his arm around Kagome while she had her head on his chest. Both appeared very comfortable and he was happy for that. She was going to have to get used to him eventually, hopefully sooner than later. Seeing the credits start, he decided to get their attention “supper is now ready”
As Sesshoumaru got up to put the movie away, Kagome stretched a little. She had been a little nervous when the taiyoukai had put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him, but she soon had gotten comfortable. He hadn’t said anything and she could only assume he must like to cuddle during movies. She had been shy at first when she relaxed her head against his chest, but when he didn’t say anything to it she had soon gotten quite content with the situation.
Kagome then dragged herself from her thoughts and followed Shippo into the dining room with Sesshoumaru coming up behind her. Shippo had set the table and even put a little amount of everything he made on everyone’s plate. He had made Chicken, potatoes, gravy, and mixed vegetables. She gasped at all the food “Shippo, it looks wonderful”
“Be that as it may you’re suppose to eat it not just look at is, so sit down and have a taste” he chuckled as they all went to sit down to eat. After a moment, he asked “so Kagome how is it?”
She smiled as she looked at him “it is wonderful, Shippo, you are a very good cook”
He gave a nod “thanks” turning to see Sesshoumaru’s reaction, which was a small glare at him, he mentioned “you know next time you come over, you should try Sesshoumaru’s cooking”
“You can cook as well?” she asked, curious.
Shippo smirked “I learned from him Kagome or more like we learned together, but he, as with everything, is better than me”
She smiled “well then I will have to try and see if it’s true”
Sesshoumaru smirked “you doubt my cooking abilities, Kagome?”
She shook her head “it’s not that I doubt it’s just I’m having a hard time picturing you in the kitchen”
“I suppose it would be hard to imagine me wielding cooking utensils instead of a sword. Cooking in a kitchen instead of hunting in the woods” he spoke with much amusement “times have changed Kagome and I have adapted to survive in it”
She gave a soft smile “it’s good to know or I probably wouldn’t be having supper here tonight with both of you”
Shippo gave her a smile and they finished the rest of the meal. After supper was finished, Shippo then brought out desert. He smiled as he watched Kagome’s face light up at the sight of the chocolate cake with blue icing and some sprinkles on top “Shippo, it looks great”
He grinned as he set it down “I cannot take credit for this desert”
She looked at him curiously “you bought it then?”
He shook his head “nope, Sesshoumaru made it yesterday night” he chuckled “so you get to sample his cooking right now”
She looked at the taiyoukai who was staring at her with amusement “you had to make something that’s already tasty and I would like it anyways didn’t you”
“All girls like their sweets, do they not?” he questioned with much sarcasm in his voice
“Yes, but to make it the first thing of yours I try is just plain mean” she said while smiling “you could have at least made the potatoes and gravy”
“Shippo and I agreed he’d make the supper I’d make the desert” he retorted. He watched has the kitsune cut a piece for her, placing it in front of her and watched her take a bit. He saw her eyes light up and heard her complimenting him. So far so good everything was going along smoothly. As they finished eating desert, Sesshoumaru then offered to drive her home. The ride to her place, Kagome compliment him on his home and on his cooking, even if he did cheat by making a desert. He promised next time he had her over for supper he’d be the one to cook and she could be there to witness it. She laughed and agreed. Pulling up to the shrine, he stopped the hummer.
Kagome smiled “I really did have a good time Sesshoumaru”
He gave a nod “then we’ll be sure to do it again”
“I’d like that” she replied before remembering “oh I totally forgot to bring it up when I was over, but my 18th birthday is coming up soon and my mom is throwing a small party. Would you and Shippo like to come?”
He smiled and nodded “it would be an honor; I’ll mention it to Shippo” his eyes narrowed a little “I’m sure he will be able to make it, it’s not like he has a whole lot to do”
She frowned “Shippo has graduated right?” at his nod; she asked “what is it he does now?”
“Sleep, eat, and go out” was his stoic reply before he looked at her and gave a smirk “but technically in this day he is basically a young adult, he’s allowed to be a little out there”
She gave a nod of understanding “I just hope he doesn’t get too out there”
“Do not worry, he is going to be working in my office soon” he replied “When I decide to retire, he will take over the business”
“Wow, Sesshoumaru” she spoke softly “you really have looked after him and you still are” she leaned over and hugged him “thank you, I knew I was right to leave him in your care”
A little surprised to have her hugging him he soon hugged her back “well over the centuries he has become like a son to me, I suppose I should be thanking you for letting him in my care”
She pulled back and looked him in the eye “why don’t you have any children of your own? I mean you been around for so long, surely you would have had a few by now”
“I promise to answer that question another time” he answered “right now it is late and you should go in before your family wonders if I’ve kidnapped you”
She laughed at his joke, but nodded and got out “I’ll give you the information at school for the party”
He gave a nod before driving off. He let out a small growl at the thought he was going to have to speak with the kitsune about his behavior; he was making it hard for him to move forward with the plan. He was going to have to get the kitsune to back off a little. He smirked at how well the plan was going so far, soon, soon the plan would be finished and all would be well. He couldn’t wait.
