abc - thinking

That's about all, for now. Without further ado, please enjoy the chapter ;)

Kagome looked nervously behind her. The line to theater’s cashbox was long and she sneaked out of the house saying Inuyasha that she’s going out to do some shopping.

Thank god HE is not here.

As usual he went off somewhere for business and was supposed to come back late evening.

If he knew what his protégé was doing he would surely be mad. Kagome thought and smiled to herself, pleased with her accomplishment.

Truth to tell anyone who wanted to approach Sesshomaru Taisho must have been a very smart and clever person. He and his younger brother Inuyasha took Kagome under their wings when she was but fifteen years old. They even almost became the siblings. Seems like fate decided against it. Two days before the wedding, Kagome’s mother and their father died in a car accident. And because no one came for the shattered girl, Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru to take care of her. They did, of course after filling all the necessary documents.

So, according to the law, Sesshomaru was Kagome’s rightful guardian. Unfortunately for her, he got so caught up in his duty that he failed to notice when she changed from a girl to the young woman.

And that’s where the dog is buried. The raven haired girl thought to herself with a sigh.

For the past few months she argued with him about every single date.

And the way he looked at me when I told him I wanted to go out! Ridiculous. Even seemingly serious Inuyasha was laughing at him.

Kagome, on the contrary, had nothing to laugh about. Being head over heels in love with Sesshomaru she really took the hard blow every time he treated her like a child. She doubled and tripled in efforts to make him realize that she was no longer a silly, little girl. It was, as easy to predict, futile. Sesshomaru stayed oblivious in his ignorance.

Kagome stepped on her other foot.

Truth to tell she had no idea how to hit on a guy like that. True, he wasn’t the flirt type anymore, like he used to during his teenage years, but people still saw him in the night clubs in Shibuya; usually accompanied by some flashy, big breasted chick.

And Kagome was withering from love.

To add to it, she wasn’t very sexy or elegant. Unfortunately! She was your average town down girl that, despite her figure, wasn’t catching your attention immediately.

So after long and hard debates in her head, Higurashi decided on her court of action. She just needed to become like one of his girls; mannered and experienced.

True that she didn’t exactly start her plan as best as she could; by going to the men’s dance show; but she didn’t really have much of a choice in this hole of a small town.

When Sesshomaru hears that I was seen at that kind of event maybe he’ll realize I’m not as innocent as he thinks I am. She thought straightening her short, red skirt and fixed her hair in a bun.

She knew that her long and curvy black hairs were her only advantage; especially when she’s wearing them down. Her sparkling blue eyes, nicely shaped lips, as well as her peachy skin were not too shabby either. Even with those weapons on her, she was still convinced that without the proper make-up she looks plain and boring. Especially when her breasts were a little too big and her legs a little too long for comfort. Her friends were usually shorter and smaller, so she often felt like a pole around them.

Too bad I’m not a delicate, cute beauty. Kagome thought with a sigh. Ah well, whatever. She shrugged it off. With her silhouette she looked alder, which was very advantageous in her current situation.

At the mere thought, her eyes shone. Because what was wrong with a girl wanting to look at a good piece of male body? She must get the experience from somewhere, isn’t she? And since Sesshomaru’s not allowing her to go out with other guys; who knew at least a little about that; she needed to use the other methods.

Her caring foster brother was very careful, allowing her to go out only with the boys in her age and if one did came, Sesshomaru was looking at the poor guy for a minute, before making stupid comments like how often he cleans his gun or saying outright what he thinks about the sex before the marriage. No wonder that almost all of the boys didn’t want to go out with her again.

Kagome shivered when the sudden gush of wind blew. The evenings in February were still cold, so Kagome hugged the dark green jacket tighter around her body and smiled in understanding to the girl next to her. The line in front of the Theatre was especially long this time. It didn’t help that the villagers were screaming their opposing to use their only stage for such a frivolous act, but in the end it all died out when a horde of females came to see the show with their own eyes.

For the hundredth time Kagome thought what Sesshomaru’s reaction would be if he saw her right now.

He would probably end up dead. Or his hair would fly angrily behind him and he would try to kill me with his eyes. On the contrary, Inuyasha being Inuyasha would just calmly take it all in.

Physically, both brothers were very similar to each other; golden eyes, tanned skin and blonde hair that looked more like they were silver. Despite it all their personalities were very different. While Sesshomaru was stoic and cold, he didn’t mind the company of women, thought only for the nights. Inuyasha on the other hand was the kind to net let people in his life easily. Everyone in here knew why; it all started three years ago when Shiko Kikyo refused his proposal. Meaning she dumped him.

It happened when Taisho’s were still as poor as rats. Thanks to Sesshomaru’s strategies and Inuyasha’s ‘silver tongue’ when it came to business they quickly made a small fortune on their computer company, but when the younger brother was hitting on Kikyo he was still the poor guy. The news said that the girl from the wealthy family hadn’t seen the proper candidate in him. Inuyasha swallowed the refusal, but it still affected him more than they thought. He closed in his shell and became bitterer. Kagome couldn’t believe how someone as nice as Kikyo could do something like that to him. Despite it all, she still liked her and her brother, Naraku.

When the girl before her finally bought the ticket, Kagome sighed in relieve and put her hand in the pocket, digging for the money. She was just about to give them to the cashier when a sudden force pulled her roughly away.

“No wonder I thought that jacket seemed familiar.” Sesshomaru snarled, throwing daggers at her with his eyes. “It’s a good thing I decided to go back through the city. Where is Inuyasha?” He barked. “Does he know you are here?”

“I said I was going shopping.” Kagome answered all too truthfully, looking straight into those golden orbs. She knew her cheeks were burning, but it was always like that when the older brother was near. Despite the whole mess, she cherished the feeling of being so close to him. Her happiness wasn’t even stirred by the fact that he was pretty angry at her; again.

“What? It is kind of shopping too, right?” She said seeing his face. “Only that instead of clothes I’m watching breathing and walking guys.”

“Oh god…” Sesshomaru looked at the crowd of overly-excited women before grabbing his protégé and making his way back to his black Jaguar.

“I’m not going back with you!” She protested, knowing that her struggle will make him even angrier. “I want to see this show… Sesshomaru!” Kagome screamed when he picked her up without a warning.

“You can’t be left alone or else you get the stupidest ideas in your head. The last time while I was absent, you tried to go on the lake trip with that Sango girl.”

“Congratulations! You stopped me from water skiing!” She barked angrily. Kagome would never, ever confess that she felt comfortable in his arms. The strong body warmed her up and the scent and breath on her cheek were awakening unknown emotions in her.

“If I remember correctly, you were supposed to go with some guys.” He reminded her.

“What about the car? Should I leave it here?” She asked, ignoring his comment.

“Only a fool would try to steal something like that.” He retorted and instinctively fastened his steps. Whenever she was near him he felt more and more insecure.

“Wha-! It’s a cute little car!”

“Which you would never buy if it was me, not Inuyasha that went with you to the salon, might I add.” Sesshomaru answered irritated. “I truly cannot understand why he is spoiling you so. It would be better if he just got married with Kikyo and made a bunch of kids with her. I told him so many times that the sport cars are dangerous.”

“So what, if that’s the only kind I like? Besides, I’m paying for it so the car is mine.” Kagome said sternly, cutting off the topic. He looked her in the eyes from up close.

“How brave I am.” Sesshomaru mocked, even though his voice was softer and his eyes lingered a little longer on her lips. It took her breath away, but she decided to keep it straight and not let him know what was going on inside her.

“I’ll be twenty one soon.” She reminded him. And again, he looked her deeply in the eyes and she felt like something hit her in the head. All of a sudden she felt numb, her hands and legs felt like they were from lead. She could’ve sworn Sesshomaru was also unusually tensed. For many feeling-like-forever seconds he kept his gaze, before blinking and resuming his walking, even quicker than before.

“I know how old you are, because you constantly remind me of that.” He pointed out. “It doesn’t matter seeing as you act like a spoiled ten year old child.”

“So what if I want to gain a little experience?” She murmured; frowning. “How should I get it if you’re not allowing me to do anything? Do you want me to die as a virgin too?”

“Going to places as such is a quick road to losing your virginity.” He fired back.

Sesshomaru never liked when she started telling such things, while she kept on coming back to it for the past few months now. He, however, was nowhere near close to solving his biggest problem. Irritated, he moved forward, hitting a nervous rhythm with his shoes.

--

Kagome watched him from the corner of her eyes. He was wearing navy suit with white shirt and red tie hanging loosely around his neck. When she moved her face to the ever so smooth cheeks, he smelled the cologne, with a hint of something oriental in it. She loved it. His bad boy look and that wild scent. Sexy and very, very manly.

What’s there to hide; Sesshomaru was her perfect in every way. She loved every piece of his body, ever face he made, every single muscle. She decided not to think about it too much, because it was easy for her to forget and reveal her feelings; which was a no-no. The best solution in that kind of situation was irony.

“Having pretty bad day, huh?” Kagome asked mockingly. She liked playing on his nerves and for the past few weeks she’s been doing it constantly. She always looked for a reason to provoke him and then watched how he got mad at her. The little act was starting to become her obsession.

“I’m already a grown up. Last year I graduated, I have a diploma and a job. I’m an assistant in the computer-”

“I do not need you to remind me of that. It was I that paid for you school as well as gave you the job.” Sesshomaru said cutting her off.

“But of course!” Kagome said throwing him a flirting look, which he easily ignored. Without a word he opened the door to his car and sat her on the passenger’s seat. He himself sat behind the wheel and with a silent fury he started the engine only to drive off with a screech of the tires.

“I still cannot comprehend it. Why were you willing to spend the money on watching a couple of guys throwing their clothes off?” Sesshomaru asked with a sigh.

“Still, it’s better than them stripping me, wouldn’t you agree?” She answered humouredly. “If you’re thinking otherwise, you wouldn’t be furious every time I’m going on a date with the guy who knows at least a little about the sex.”

Unnerved, he just shook his arms. Kagome was right. He was angry thinking that someone might try to use her. He didn’t want anyone to touch her, even with a finger.

“It’s a fact that if I were to see a guy coming on to you I would instantly kill him.” He admitted.

“I feel sorry for my future husband.” Kagome laughed. “I can already see how he’s calling the police on our wedding night.”

“You are still too young to think about marriage.”

“My mother was in my age when she gave birth to me.” She reminded him.

“That does not mean anything. I myself am twenty eight years old and not married. There is no need to rush. You need to see the world and meet people.”

“And how am I supposed to do it when you’re not allowing me anything?” Kagome asked rhetorically. Sesshomaru only threw her a quick glance.

“I am disturbed that you wish to learn about the least appropriate things. Like that strip show for example.”

“They weren’t really going to get naked, you know? Just take of a couple of things. Well, almost everything but not exactly.”

“What made you go there?”

“I was bored.” She replied with a shrug. “Besides, Sango watched it and said it was cool.”

“Of course, Sango.” He muttered with disapproval. “How many times have I told you I do not approve of your relationship with that easy-going rich girl? First of all she’s older and second, too experienced for my liking.”

“Sure she’s experienced. She doesn’t have a gardener’s dog for a guardian. No one is following her and protecting her virginity.”

“Someone like that would be very helpful to her. Women who do not respect themselves often aren’t getting married.”

“You’re repeating yourself, my dear. Sango will surely not faint when on her wedding night her husband will take his pants off. And me? I’ve never seen a naked guy before. Of course not including the photos from the magazines Sango-” She was cut off by the sudden stop of the car.

“Have you no other activities besides reading something like that?! You are not allowed to do that!” Sesshomaru said angrily. Astounded, Kagome raised her eyebrows and looked at him with wide eyes.

“But why?”

For a second, he was frantically searching for an answer in his mind.

“Because…” He started, but soon gave up. “Because you're prohibited to do so.”

“And guys can watch the pictures of naked girls, yes? And there’s nothing perverted in that. Where’s the justice here?” That was too much even for Sesshomaru.

“Just shut up, woman!” He growled angrily.

“Fine, as you wish.” She answered nonchalantly.

They resumed their drive and for a while Kagome was really sitting quietly, looking at the profile of his face from the corner of her eyes. Pleased with herself, the end of her lips twitched upward. Sesshomaru would probably never fall in love with her, but at least thanks to the talks like that he won’t stay indifferent towards her.

“I cannot understand the sudden fascination with the male body.” He said after a while, looking at her. “Explain to me how it came to be.”

“Out of frustration. And lonely evenings.”

“Do not exaggerate. I never forbid you from leaving the house.”

“Sure, you didn’t have to. It was enough that in the presence of my boyfriend you took out your gun collection and started cleaning it while talking about the old traditions of sex before the wedding!”

“They are not old.” He answered dryly. “A lot of men think similar things.”

“You don’t say?” Kagome asked raising an eyebrow. “So… am I to understand that you’re still a virgin?” He looked at her from the corner.

“Do you think I am?” Sesshomaru asked in a tone she never heard from him before. A little roughness in his voice and that arrogant look made her troubled. She knew that she made a fool out of herself with this question. It was better to bit her tongue. Of course Sesshomaru was not a virgin.

“That was a stupid question…” She answered averting her eyes.

“Hn.” Was all he said before speeding up.

For an unknown reason he was worried of her knowledge about his private life. He could only imagine she knew a lot. Even more than he thought, probably. After all, Sango was Kagome’s friend and the girl often popped out at the same parties he was at. He had no illusions whatsoever that the girl hadn’t told his protégé all the juicy details of when and with whom she saw him.

--

Kagome was at loss. She didn’t like the uncomfortable silence that fell between them. She also preferred not to think about his women, so she changed the subject.

“How did you know I was here?”

“I didn’t, sweetie.” He confessed. The sweet word sounded so natural on his lips so she had no intentions of protesting. “It was a clear coincidence that I decided to return through the town.”

“Talk about bad luck. I guess fate is on to me.”

“Not only fate.” Sesshomaru whispered so quietly that she didn’t hear him.

They turned on the road leading to the large western-style house. Driving along the large grasslands Kagome spotted the Shiko’s residence. It was a large house standing a little far from the road. The girl couldn’t help but watch the beautiful horses that were feeding themselves on the pasture.

“I heard that Shiko’s are having serious financial problems.”

“That is correct. After the death of their father they’re near the bankruptcy. I heard that Onigumo was doing bad businesses behind his children’s backs. Naraku is in too many debts already. I do believe that he will be forced to sell his land, however humiliating it might be for him.”

“Kikyo probably won’t have it easy either.” Kagome said with compassion.

“I remind you not to speak her name in Inuyasha’s presence.”

“How could I? He reacts to it funny, though.”

He sure is a strange type. The raven thought watching Sesshomaru.

On one side he’s so sensitive that if he must kill a horse he runs off somewhere to relieve his feelings.

On the other hand he’s so short-tempered that when he gets angry people are getting out of his way in a hurry. He kind of reminded her of Inuyasha. Both brothers were tough on the outside, but underneath all that shell was hidden tenderness and sensitivity. Truth to tell not many people knew about the ‘light side’ of their character. Kagome that lived with them all five, long years knew that very well.

“Why are you back so early?” She asked to break the silence.

“My inner radar warned me that you were about to do something inappropriate.” He answered with a small smile. “I felt that you won’t be able to sit home and watch those movies with Inuyasha on video.”

“I thought you’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

“So you decided to use this opportunity to watch few men getting undressed?”

“God for a witness that I’d tried.” Kagome said deadly serious. “Unfortunately it didn’t come out as planned so I will continue to live in bliss ignorance.”

“Damn it.” Sesshomaru said, unable to stop the chuckling sound that tore from his throat. He noticed quite a long time ago that no other women, beside Kagome, could make him laugh like that.

Recently he noticed t hat his thoughts were wandering off to the girl quite often. He blamed it on the age. After all, the fleeting relationships with women were not satisfying his inner needs. Only that with this girl, there was no way of any kind of erotic activity. One day, this girl will get married and he better remembers that. There is no place for him to play with her for his own pleasure, so he will have to stop his desires.

If he can, that is…

--

When they came back they found Inuyasha sitting in the office and looking through the accountancy book. At first he threw an unfocused look at them, but seeing his brother’s pissed face and Kagome’s angry look he knew that something was going on.

“So, how the shopping went?”

“It wasn’t shopping, only watching men’s naked butts.” Sesshomaru said before Kagome could even open her mouth.

The hand with a pen in it stopped in mid air and Inuyasha looked at the girl with so much disgust that she suddenly felt very shy. The younger brother was even stricter when it came to discussing intimate matters openly than the older one.

“What were you going to watch?” Inuyasha asked again.

“Men’s dance show.” She explained calmly. “You know… it’s a kind of a revue.”

“Nothing, but an ordinary strip show.” Sesshomaru said cutting in.

“Kagome!” Inuyasha screeched with disdain.

“What? I’ll be twenty one in few months. I have a job, driving license, I can get married and gave birth to children any time soon. So if I want to watch the dance show…” She continued ignoring the ‘striptease’ coming from a certain someone. “… I have every right to do it!”

Inuyasha calmly put the pen down and reached for a cigarette. In truth he didn’t give a shit about their angry looks. Though he did reached out for one of the eight ashtrays they gave him for Christmas.

“What you just said sounded awfully like a war declaration toward us.” He pointed out. Kagome lifted her chin proudly.

“And it was supposed to.” She turned slightly to Sesshomaru. “I promise that if you do not stop humiliating me in front of others I will move out and go live with Sango.”

“As if!” The older brother snarled, quickly forgetting his composure.

“You can bet I am!”

“Could you…” Inuyasha started peacefully, but Sesshomaru cut him off.

“Over my dead body.” He growled closing in on Kagome. “That Sango of yours arranges some kind of wild parties that can last for days.”

“… stop screaming and start talking like people?” Inuyasha continued.

“What’s wrong with that? Sango likes people! She’s a very social person!” Higurashi barked back; bawling her fists angrily.

“Even so, could you at least try…” Inuyasha wasn’t giving in.

“She’s a spoiled, rotten eccentric!” Sesshomaru argued back.

“… to get along with each other!” Inuyasha roared standing up.

Not ever hearing his voice being so loud both of them instantly shut up.

“For crying out loud my ears are hurting from listening to you!” He scolded them like kids. “Now listen to me and listen well; talking like that won’t solve anything. I betcha that Toutousai and Kaede will barge in here frightened that someone is murdered!” Barely those words left his mouth and a pair of elders was standing in the doorframe dressed with their bathrobes.

“See what you did?” Inuyasha asked in an ‘I-told-you-so’ kind of voice.

“What are those noises?” Kaede asked interested. “We were worried that something happened.”

“Another quarrel. What did you do this time, seniorita?” Gramps asked shaking his head.

“Nothing.” Kagome replied shrugging. “Absolutely nothing.”

“She wanted to watch men’s striptease.” Sesshomaru said, leering at her with a smirk.

“Not true!” The girl cried out in protest; her face as red as tomato.

“End of the world!” Kaede groaned clutching her head. She turned on her heel and left for the bedroom, mumbling something in Spanish to her husband who was following close behind her; shaking from laughing.

The pair worked for Taisho’s for almost thirty years, so they were treated as a part of the family.

“Don’t believe him!” Kagome called after them. “It wasn’t like that!” She added in resignation, giving Sesshomaru a look full of promise of a painful death.

The man in question simply stood next to his brother’s desk; looking like the epitome of elegance and calmness.

“See what you’ve done?” She asked pissed beyond believe.

“Me? It was you who were looking for extreme sensation.”

“Extreme sensation?” Kagome repeated shaking from anger. “Come on then, be a man and say that you never, not even once, watched the strip show!” Sesshomaru stepped from one foot to another.

“It is a different matter.”

“Sure!” She mocked. “A woman can be a sexual object but a man not, huh?”

“She got you there, buddy.” Inuyasha commented. Sesshomaru send them both an angry glare before leaving the office without a word. Kagome watched him go with a triumphatic look in her eyes; pleased with her small victory. On the other hand, one small argument is not much of a comforter. It was getting harder and harder to talk with Sesshomaru who was barking and biting at her like a dog for no apparent reason. The situation was becoming worse, so she needed to come up with a solution.

And fast.

So, how was it? Kinda long for the first chapter, huh? :P Well, if there's anything you don't understand please don't hesitate to ask about it! ;)

I will try to update once a week, but no promises.

So, see you soon ;)
