Chapter 6: First Dates are Awkward
“Taisho table for two.” Sesshomaru asked the host casually.
Gazing up from his reservation book the restaurant greeter's eyes enlarged as he realized who was addressing him. “Oh! Sesshomaru-sama welcome back. We’ll get you seated right away!” Turning his attention to the lord’s guest he raised an eyebrow at the cat held in the woman’s arms. “Um...For your dates pet would you like us to..?”
“Just bring a bowl of milk to our seat.”
“Ah. Yes very well then. This way if you please.” Leading the way into the restaurant Kagome admired the beauty of the place. Contemporary dark woods and stained bamboo tables and chairs lined the window and half wall with booths located on the other side. The host preceded to lead them to a table right by the window which was showing a clear view of Mt. Fuji in this late afternoon. The man proceeded to pull out a chair for the inu demoness while removing the seat next to her so that Socrates could rest on the floor. Setting him down before taking her own seat, she bowed in gratitude to the man who scooted the chair back into place with her in it. Sesshomaru bowed at the waist to the man himself and took his own chair immediately staring out the window the second he walked off.
Kagome took this time to observe the inu demon’s profile. He was actually quite attractive. His stunning white hair hung loose around his shoulders. It shimmered as he pushed a section of it behind his ear. Continuing her observations she hummed in appreciation at seeing the natural markings on his face. Not possessing any herself she admired the distinguishing traits of their species on others, secretly wishing she had at least a few. Shuddering slightly she recalled the only marks on her body were from the multiple cuts and needle sticks she had received over the years. After a while of repeatedly being reopened, they just stopped healing. Her shaking must have noticed by Sesshomaru because he snapped his golden eyes back to her, his eyebrow arched in silent question.
“Oh. Uh. I was just looking at your markings.” the inu demoness stammered. She could feel Socrates rubbing along her leg, sensing her discomfort.
“Why?” He asked. Curious at her odd fascination with him.
“Well. Its just I don’t have any myself so I like seeing them on others is all.”
"I see...You also do not possess our ears either. Only our claws, fangs, and unnatural eye color. If it wasn't for your scent you could almost pass as mortal."
"I've gotten that a lot."
“Hn.”
Raising an eyebrow of her own at what she was now going to term his catchphrase she turned her head to the traditionally dressed waitress who walked up to them. Steaming sake and a bowl of warm milk perched on the tray in front of her. Placing the tray on the table behind them, the waitress snatched the bowl of milk up first, placing it in the spot the chair had been moved. Next she served the sake to the two bipedal customers. Waiting for Sesshomaru to take his first sip before filling up Kagome’s cup. The inu demoness thanked her, but didn’t take a sip herself. Once the attendant left, she explained her aversion to the sake which was sure to be some of the best Japan had to offer.
“I can’t drink alcohol with the medications I take to support my condition.”
“Why didnt’ you say something when she was here. She could have brought you a glass of water or…”
“No. No.” Kagome insisted. “It’s fine. Really. I don’t want to be a bother.”
“Nonsense, if you require something you ask for it. You should not be concerned about others if what you wish for does not physically harm them.” Calling sharply the waitress returned, ready to take their orders. When Sesshomaru didn't’ say anything, the inu demoness realized that he wanted her to ask the lady for a drink, not him.
“Um. Excuse me ma’am if it's not too much trouble, do you think I could have a glass of water?” She asked cautiously causing the inu demon she was with to snort in amusement. This woman could cuss him out in one sentence and be afraid to ask a waiter in a restaurant for service the next. She truly had to be bipolar if not outright insane.
The waitress agreed immediately. “Its no problem mistress! Do you require anything else?” She asked, a bright smile on her face.
“N..No. That’s more than enough.” she responded, incredibly shy all of a sudden.
The attendant’s smile brightened at her timidity. “Sesshomaru-sama your date is so softspoken. You are a very lucky man!” Winking she fluttered off to go retrieve the drink Kagome requested, grabbing the tray she had previously forgotten on her way out.
The inu demoness blushed hard at her statement. She thought they were on a date! Taking a quick glance at Sesshomaru, she saw the blank expression on his features. The two stared at one another for a moment, the dog demon finally breaking eye contact to look back out the window.
Neither one said a thing. The only sounds being heard was Socrates lapping at his milk and the soft traditional music playing over the speaker. Reading over her menu, Kagome stared puzzled at the menu choices. She had never eaten food of this caliber in her life! Not really sure what to order she asked the dog demon tentatively. “What are you having?”
“I usually order the Japanese demon rare beef sirloin and shimmered vegetables.” He told her.

“Demon rare?” Kagome asked confused?
“For humans food must be cooked at a certain temperature in public restaurants. In our province it's a secret rule that demons can ask for their food to be more shall we say, instinctive for our tastes without a owners risk of being closed down.”
“Wow. I didn’t know that.”
“Yes. Demons never completely conformed to human standards after all. There are some instincts that have never been lost to us.”
“But both humans and demons live in peace don’t they?”
“For the most part yes. But in order for my family to maintain that peace some rules must be bent to insure all are satisfied.”
“The politics of our age huh.”
“Indeed.”
The waitress returned with Kagome’s water. Standing patiently, she waited for them to give her their entree orders. Sesshomaru ordered the same thing for them both, adding some grilled fish for Socrates as an afterthought.
Taking a sip from her cup the inu demoness was surprised she could taste a barrage of minerals and cures that had been done to the drink. Obviously this had been way beyond purified. It was so clear! She drank the whole cup in a few swallows. Placing it back on the table she looked at Sesshomaru who was looking at her with a surprised expression.
“Thirsty are we?” He asked sarcastically.
“I’m sorry. It was just so good!”
“Well their water is purified here professionally, so its no surprise that its taste is different.”
“Ah.”
“Hn.”
“Hey Sesshomaru-sama?”
“What?”
“What does that expression you keep using mean?!?” Kagome asked a little loudly. Really if he was going to keep using the least he could do was tell her why.
“Its just a habit of mine, it doesn’t mean anything woman. Stop getting so worked up.”
“Weird habit.”
“You’re one to talk.”
“Wha...What do you mean?”
“Odd habits. Do you really want to go there with me?”
“Yes! You said it, you might as well explain it.” she challenged.
“Well first things first. You own a cat, which next to dragons is our kind's greatest enemy.”
“Its a neko not a neko youkai! And besides he’s special. I found him when he was just a little kitten!”
“Hn. There’s that and another quirk of yours I was shocked to know about you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I saw your neat little collection on your computer yesterday.”
“My...collection?”
“Yes, in a big folder marked erotica…”
The ground should have swallowed Kagome whole at the moment.
A/N: Okay there we go. First Dates really are Awkward. Next chapter might get a little messy, or she might be able to get herself out of this situation. I haven’t decided yet. But I have tomorrow to bang it out. Enjoy and please continue to review. You see me already getting out two chapters a day. Your reviews give my muses energy. Lol
