Chapter 1

She had moved in with her best friend’s family when she had begun college. Their home had been a lot closer to the school than the shrine was, so InuYasha’s father had insisted she stay with them. She didn’t mind so much, their home was more of a mansion, with many wings and parts of the home that were detached. She had wanted to take one of the detached rooms, but InuPapa had insisted she stay in the east wing. It was the smallest of the wings, with only a study, kitchen, three bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, a gaming room, and a sunroom. She rolled her eyes at the thought. ‘Who really needs all that in each wing?’  But regardless, she had her own space and didn’t need to intrude on their family at all. It was much better than living in the dorms she couldn’t even afford on campus.

No, the real problem hadn’t started until he had returned back from overseas. Sesshomaru Taisho, successful at anything he had tried. He had been CEO of one of his father’s companies until he had decided that he wanted to start writing. Then he was put on the board of directors so he could go on a book tour. It had ended up sending him all over Japan, and then internationally to a few countries. He had also decided to take up modeling on the road apparently; there were ads of him all across the globe now. Of course there would be, he was drop dead gorgeous. No one could ever deny that. Then he had begun charity work while in America, which had given him a new imagine, one of caring. He was also so private that even though he had been popular among the masses, no one really knew what to think of him.

He had always had a healthy sibling rivalry with InuYasha, and he was always pleasant to her, but no one in the family really ever talked about him that much. He liked his privacy and very few knew him well. He was eight years older than InuYasha and herself, so there had never really been a time for her to try to get to know him better.

Now she was twenty-one, just starting her last semester, as she had graduated high school early, and he had returned. She had become borderline obsessed with him since his return. He had taken one of the buildings detached from the main house as his living quarters, and he very rarely came to interact with the family. The only time she ever really saw him was when he was joining them for dinner. He said little while he was in their company, and excused himself quickly when he was done.

She wanted to know so badly what he was doing with all this time. Working on another book? Perhaps starting another new project that he would excel at? Did he just want to finally be alone from being around people for the last four years? One night she had finally had the courage to go over to his housing, with some desert of course.

She rang the doorbell to the small house and looked down at the pie she had brought with her. ‘I really hope he likes pecan pie.’ She thought idly, then her eyes widened. ‘What if he doesn’t, and he just sends me away? How will I ever find out what he’s doing all alone then? Or what if he just takes the pie and doesn’t invite me in? This wasn’t such a good-‘ Her thoughts stopped abruptly as the door opened, and there stood Sesshomaru in all his glory. His silver hair draped around him like a beautiful curtain of dewy gossamer silk, his eyes molten honey of curiosity on her, hidden behind reading glasses that framed his high cheekbone in a delicate way. She looked down his body, marveled at the way his shirt showed the leanness of his muscles, but as she moved to his sweatpants her eyes snapped up. She sucked in a breath and sucked her bottom lip in between her teeth to give it a good nibble of nervousness.   

“Hi. I’m so sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you wanted some pecan pie. You always leave before desert so I thought maybe you’d like something sweet.” She rambled on until he heard a soft chuckle come from him.

“That was thoughtful of you. Why don’t you come in? Will you have a piece with me?” His eyes were bright with roguery.

She involuntarily gulped and stepped inside the house, following him to the kitchen. Her mouth dropped at the sight of all the desserts set out on the island. Tarts, cakes, pies, cookies, pastries. Her mouth watered at the sight of the tub of ice cream sitting next to a dish of strawberry shortcake. Her eyes darted over to him as she snapped her mouth shut.

“I guess you didn’t need this, did you?” She asked looking down at the pie that seemed to pale in comparison to his spread.

“I love desert. I’m always happy to have more of it.” He said with a slight shrug of his shoulders, and a very light dusting of pink settling over his cheeks. 

A/N: If you have made it this far, thank you for reading! I have no beta! I really just wanted to do a one shot that was all fluff and smut, but then this happened. Should I just make it a one shot (obviously finish writing it into a one shot), or should I keep going with a nice chapter story of just fun smut and fluff between our favorite couple? And no I haven't forgotten about my other story. Please review and let me know what you think! Also, if I do a chapter story, should I do challenges? Hmm....
