Sesshomaru moved first. Standing from his seat he began to get closer. Leaning in slowly from across the table, the woman did the same. Their faces were so close to touching. They were going to…..
Chapter 8: Don't Judge My Path
“Um…...excuse me sir.” The host from earlier called.
Sesshomaru and Kagome blinked, finally aware of what was happening. The pair jumped back from one another and flopped silently into their respective chairs. Looking at the attendant, the inu demon wasn’t sure if he should thank him or damn him for stopping the two from whatever they were about to do. Finally deciding to be cordial he responded: “Yes?”
“I don’t mean to be a bother Sesshomaru-sama but your dates cat…”
“What about it?”
“He’s run into the kitchen and is hiding on a shelf in our food pantry…”
Kagome hopped from her seat, horror replacing her embarrassment. “What!” Yelling the animal’s name over and over, the inu demoness ran towards the back of the restaurant where the room was located skidding to a stop once she passed the double doors.
The host stared after the insane woman for a moment, an unreadable expression on his face. Returning his attention to the Inu Youkai he asked softly. “Uh...Is everything alright Sesshomaru-sama?”
“Fine.” was his curt reply.
“If there’s anything I can do…”
“I’d like the check please.”
“Uh….consider it on the house my lord. Just please forgive the new policy that is now in place that prohibits animals in the restaurant.”
Sesshomaru sighed lightly as the manager apologized again and again. It would be a long season before he set foot in this establishment again. His reputation here was ruined.
Kagome returned to the table, scolding the seal colored himalayan in her arms. “Socrates! What is wrong with you! I can't’ believe you coughed up a hairball into the sake vat!”
The manager looked horrified at the thought of the now ruined sake. That was supposed to be for tonight’s dinner! A platinum credit card appeared in his line of sight, a crescent moon embossed on the upper right corner. “Just charge the full price of the barrel to me.”
“Right away sir. And please no more animals on the premises.”
“Hn.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drive back to Kagome’s apartment was silent. Socrates was once again in the back seat, giving his mistress the guilty cat eyes every time she looked at him. Sesshomaru hadn’t said anything since they had left the park hyatt. She had screwed up, big time. Here he was just trying to give her a free meal and how had she repaid him? Cursed him out, cost him a small fortune having to buy an entire ruined keg of sake, and most importantly embarrassed him by yelling at him in public and letting her animal run wild in a five star restaurant. She always knew she had little to no social skills, but this was an entirely new level of social awkwardness. He was the heir of the province for kami’s sake. Peeking over at him, she sighed internally when she saw him driving with that same stoic look on his face. Maybe she should explain why she behaved the way she did today? Getting up her courage, Kagome called her lord’s name.
“Sesshomaru-sama?”
“Yes Kagome-san?”
“I’m really sorry about today. I’m just not good at this..”
“Good at...what?”
“Social situations…”
“I figured that much out already.”
“Yea...I don’t mean to be so hot and cold all the time…”
“You have the instincts of both a youkai and a miko. Your mood swings reflect that.”
“My instincts? I never looked at it like that. I just always assumed people thought I was insane.”
“Most people do think you are unstable when you act the way you do. What they don’t understand is that it is something you cannot control.”
“I’m working on controlling my outbursts…”
“Hn.”
“You’re right now that I think about it though. During the day I tend to have the most anxiety attacks because I’m trying my best to appear normal. At night though nobody is really paying attention to me so I don’t pay attention to my behavior as much. For some reason when I’m around you….it is all screwed up.”
“Really now? Any chance you will tell me what caused you to collapse yesterday?”
“....Well actually, I was rushing back home to feed Socrates when I felt you behind me. I started panicking because I thought you were staring at me and the weird way I was walking.”
“The way you...were walking?”
“Yea...I already know the way I walk sometimes is weird. I tend to hold my head down and walk really fast. Because of the time I thought I was the only one on campus and I don’t normally pay attention with my headphones in my ears. When I felt you behind me I remembered people have made fun of me in the past for my behaviors.”
“You care that much what people think of you?”
“Yea...don’t you? After all you're the heir to the western province. Everything you do and say is watched by someone everyday of your life. Even the restaurant will be talking about today for months!” Kagome was becoming upset now that she was thinking about the embarrassment she had caused.
“Kagome...it is fine. In the end people will talk about me whether I’m doing good or bad in my life. I figured out a long time ago that as long as what I’m doing isn’t hurting anyone, I should do what I feel like doing. While I won’t do anything to purposely endanger, shame or humiliate me or my family, should something occur it was not with malicious intent.”
“Wow..You learned all of this being groomed to becoming our next lord?”
“No. It is the reality of life.”
Pulling up to her apartment complex, Sesshomaru pressed the button to open the passenger door. Socrates jumping across the seat into his mistress's lap, he watched as Kagome got out of the car slowly. The door still ajar, the two Inu Youkai looked at one another this time in a comfortable silence.
“Uh...Sesshomaru-sama thank you for all your help. If there’s anything I can ever do to repay…”
“Do you have class tomorrow?”
“Huh? Oh...Yes at 10am...Why…”
“I’ll come to pick you up at 9. We will have breakfast before then.”
“Huh? Wait...You’re randomly asking me to come have another meal with you tomorrow?”
“You wish to repay me for my services correct?”
“Yea…”
“I require assistance in a few courses I am doing only above average performance in. You have a perfect gpa do you not? To repay me I am requesting that you tutor me.”
“But..I have an entirely different major from yours!”
“What is your major Kagome-san?”
“Linguistics with a concentration in Cultural Demonic Anthropology.’
“Isn’t that a graduate program?”
“Yes I already earned my bachelor’s thanks to early college programs.”
“Then we are in the same boat. I am a Frontier Science and Multi Engineering double major. I already achieved my bachelor’s as well.”
“Aren’t those completely different subject matters?”
“I have a passion for technology but my father feels I should understand the maintenance required to run a successful 21st century empire.” As he spoke Sesshomaru wondered why he felt the need to tell her all of this. He had never discussed his college degree choices with anyone else, not even his own father after he told the man what he planned on doing. Naturally his father had disagreed with his idea stating that he needed to focus on his territory as a whole and not the art of computer science.
“Ah. I see. Well I understand the basics of computer information sciences…. I will gladly help you however I can.” Bowing to the Inu Lord she quickly flew into the building not hearing the rare chuckle that left his mouth as she ran off.
Shaking his head Sesshomaru started up the car and began his drive back home. Arriving at the front gates of his family's mansion, he reflected on all the craziness that had entered his life in the last two days.
A/N: There we go! Well it looks like someone is trying to make up excuses to stay in someone ele's life. Anyway as I stated before this story is the prolouge to my one shot that is also on here. Hope you all like the fact its getting serious now. Like Rumiko Takashi
