In your own time

That evening Blue, Inutashio, Inuyasha and Kagome sat in the living room conversing and watching T.V.. As Sesshomaru was in Kagome’s room finishing up some more of his work. Inuyasha was a jump up suddenly and began swatting around his head, “MY GOD THIS FLY WONT GO AWAY!” He shouted furiously, Kagome just giggled from her place in the rocking chair and Inutashio just smiled at the young boy’s antics.

“Well if you’d bath more often you wouldn’t have that problem.” Kagome stated trying to suppress her giggles.

“Watch this,” Blue stated as he stood from his seat on the couch. He sat the young boy back down on the love seat as he spoke again, “wait till it comes to you never try to attack it from behind or it’ll get away.” He stated as he stretched his hand out effectively catching the fly in the palm of his hand. Inuyasha’s eyes grew to be as big as saucers at the quickness of the old man’s feeble hand.

“Wow, that was awesome do it again,” he spoke in awe. The elder man just smiled and shook his head as he turned to leave the living room,

“I’m old and need my sleep, I’ve got work to do in the morn’n g’night yall.” He said as he entered his room and readied himself for bed.

Kagome leaned forward grabbed the remote control and began channel surfing, realizing that there was nothing on to watch she threw it at Inuyasha who caught it clumsily, as she stood and walked into her room. As she entered the room she saw papers scattered all across the floor and Sesshomaru was sprawled across the bed fast asleep. She walked in and began cleaning up the mess he had made, she logged off the laptop and placed it on the night stand next to the bed then placed the fallen pages on top of the it. She turned her gaze to the demon sleeping comfortably on her bed, her breath became heavy as she stared at him in wonder. The dim light reflecting off of his skin and hair made him seem heavenly, his hair pooling around him like a silver lake undisturbed by any being, his skin seemed to glow with such power it was unmistakable that he was the son of a great demon lord. She stood mesmerized by such a peaceful sight, his eyes moving noticeably from under his eyelids, his lips curved in a slight smirk with his body relaxed he was the perfect picture of a peaceful nights dream. Snapping from her daze she moved to her dresser pulling out her pajamas, a pair of emerald green silk pants and button down shirt, with one last glance at the demon she entered the bathroom and changed; upon returning to the room she found him gone and the stuffed dog sitting on the bed that he had previously occupied. Snatching up the plushy she entered the living room.


As Kagome left the room Inuyasha looked at his father with a sad expression, “Do you think she would ever go for me?” His father just shook his head and looked at his son with eyes that told his son not to hope so high.

“First off women don’t usually go for guys younger than them unless she’s Demy moore, and besides it would make Kag’s a pedophile.”

“Yeah, I guess your right but she’s still hot.” He said with a devilish smile

“You should probably try to find someone your own age,” with a pat on the back as he stood, “I’m going to bed good night son;” with that he disappeared into his room.

Inuyasha sat on the love seat all alone watching Saturday Night Live, a deep frown came across his face ’she probably likes that big headed bastard any ways’ pushing any thoughts of Kagome and his brother from his mind he began to laugh at the television. A good thirty minuets had passed since Kagome had left and as he went to get something to eat he began to wonder what exactly she was doing, he had the thought that perhaps he should check and see what they were up to when Sesshomaru came out of the back bedroom he stopped for a moment “Inuyasha, you will need to vacate this room soon so Kagome can go to sleep.” Inuyasha just rolled his eye and huffed

“When I’m done eating I’ll go to my room and play games or something.” Simply nodding his approval Sesshomaru took his leave. Inuyasha just shook his head as he watched Kagome come out of her room holding a stuffed animal she had a distant look in her eyes as she stared at the toy in her hands. “He just stepped out,” he spoke at he crammed a peanut butter sandwich in his mouth.

“Who?” She asked tipping her head in confusion as she realized no matter how lost in her own thoughts she was life still went on around her.

“Sesshomaru,” he stood and walked into the kitchen; returning he looked at her and smiled “I’m goin to bed see ya in the morning.” He waved and walked into his room.

Kagome smiled as she through the kitchen and out onto the back porch she sat down on the steps as she lit up a cigarette, staring off into the darkness she watched as someone with a flashlight moved around on the other side of yard, she smiled as the person holding the flashlight flicked it on and off signaling her, she giggled as she stood and walked across the gravel driveway and into the red clay as she approached she could see that it was Sesshomaru he was just on the other side of the barbed wire fence she shook her head trying to suppress her giggles. “What?”

He just simply bent the wires to help her get through the fence, once on the other side she looked at Sesshomaru, “you never answered my question.”

“You didn’t ask the right question.” He stated as he turned his back to her and began walking, “fallow” he stated coldly.

“Ok, so what exactly are we doing out her, would that be the appropriate question?” She inquired as she stepped over a root as they entered into the woods. He frowned as he looked over his shoulder before speaking.

“How about putting out that cigarette, you’re going go die from cancer if you keep that up.”

She looked down at the cigarette in her hand dropping and stomping it out as she walked, “sorry if it bothers you that I’m here.” She stopped walking and looked at him as he walked a few more paces before stopping, turning to look at her.

“If it bothered me I wouldn’t have signaled for you to come;” with that said he turned and began walking once more. They walked for a few moments more in silence, Kagome looking down at her feet and Sesshomaru staring straight a head. Sesshomaru came to a stop unbeknownst to Kagome; she slammed hard into his back stumbling backward against a tree stabling herself she shyly looked up him. He looked over her shoulder to make sure that she was ok before gesturing for her to move in front of her, she did as requested and stepped in front of him. He looked down at her feet, “You’re bare foot.” He stated as he raised an eyebrow wondering if it was intentional or just blatened stupidity.

“Yeah, so what exactly am I supposed to be looking at?”

“Just have patients woman.”

Kagome stood at the edge of the forest as the sun began to rise over the hill tops a head of them, she had seen many sunrises but none so beautiful as this one she and Sesshomaru stood in the perfect spot to witness such a gorgeous display of the gods earthly design the pinks, oranges, blues and purples melded together on to sky canvas; she inhaled deeply as she watched in utter awe as the dark gave way to the day light. “It’s so beautiful, I had no idea that it was so close to dawn.” She looked up at Sesshomaru with glassy eyes and a large goofy smile, “thank you.”

************************************************************************

Later that day the house was quiet and not a soul around Sesshomaru sat stretched out on the large comfortable couch watching the Wheel of Fortune and enjoying the time alone, ‘I like here at least Inuyasha can find something to occupy himself long enough for me relax’ he sighed and slumped deeper into the couch.


Kagome entered the room with the intent of asking to borrow Sesshomaru’s lap top; upon seeing him lying on the couch shirtless she lost all train of thought and sat down in rocking chair. For a long time she just sat there staring dazed as though she were a young kid watching a magic show for the very first time. Sesshomaru cleared his throat to gain her attention “you’ve been staring at me for the past thirty minuets,” he stated blatantly obvious that he amused by her actions. Face burning red she was embarrassed at being caught, “is there something you wanted, asides from my body that is.” He was mocking her, yet still embarrassing her more.

‘Only he could embarrass me when no one is around,’ she heaved a sigh and shook her head, but at that moment a thought hit her like a giant red truck. She would get a good laugh out of this. She walked over to the couch and sat on the edge of the couch, he turned his body so that he lay his right side scooting back a little so he could accommodate Kagome without actually having to sit up. She sat just so that she was in his was of viewing the television, looking at him very sweetly she smiled; ‘know your opponents weakness’ was the only thought going through her head at this point.

Suddenly the loud torturous cries of “please stop” and “dear god I hate you” rang from the house, he had her pinned on the floor tickling her relentlessly without mercy, her screams of laughter were music to his ears, her fragile body fit perfectly into his arms. Pausing his assault on her sensitive skin, he realized just exactly what kind of position their body’s had wound up in; he was lying atop her body, his knees rested on either side of her, the only thing keeping his chest from hers’ were her hands. His breath quickened bringing her sent to his attention it wasn’t a shock to him how good it smelled, he’d been inhaling it ever since he arrived, what got him was that it aroused many reactions from his body, mind and most unnerving his beast. She had stopped moving under him so he assumed she realized the closeness in proximity of which they laid. They stared at each other for a long time as though neither could decide if they wanted to move. Sesshomaru began to chuckle at his antics dropping down on to his elbows he placed his head onto her shoulder as his uncontrollable laughter. He lay there for a moment while he calmed down, sliding his arms around her he lifted her up as he leaned back on his knees. Still struggling with a smile he kept his face buried into her neck, like a child hiding.

Kagome swore he had lost his mind, sure she was shocked at how close their bodies had become, but she never expected this kind of reaction out of him. She just sat still not sure what she should do, she breathed in deeply “Cinnamon and pine.” She spoke softly.

Sesshomaru raised his head as well as a delicate silver eyebrow looking at her strangely “What?”

“Your smell of cinnamon and pine needles.” This time it was her turn to rest her head against his shoulder, after a moment she leaned back once more looking into his eyes, she smiled shyly. “Sorry, you must think I’m weird now, huh?” Looking down at her hands resting on Sesshomaru’s knees, she laughs weakly due to nerves.

“Not at all, if I do recall you used to love the smell of cinnamon.” He a slight smile gracing his lips, he pulled her to his chest and stood with her in his arms. She meekly wrapped her arms around his waist.

“You know you’re not so bad when you loosen up a bit.” She smiled sweetly at him

“UUHHG. You two are pathetic, all lovey dovey over there.” Scrunching his face “’you smell like cinnamon’ ‘oh but you love that smell’” He spoke in mocking voices.

“I’ll KILL YOU.” Sesshomaru bellowed as he learched for his younger half-bother.
