Walking Away

It had been a painful ten blocks when a car drove up next to her. "Need a ride?"

Rounding the car, she thankfully jumped in. "Thank gods it's you Sesshoumaru, and not some pervert." She fastened her safety belt.

He raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow. "How do you know I'm not some pervert?"

She blushed. "Because you aren't into women, remember?"

Throwing the car into gear, he began to drive away. "Maybe I was at one point."

"But you aren't now," she said mockingly.

The drive to her house was mostly silent, with the exception of her giving him directions.

When she got out of the car, he followed, up to the door of the apartment building. She had been fighting an urge since she got in the car, though she didn't think she could any longer. "Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes?" He looked down at the petite girl.

"Can I...can I kiss you?" She looked up at him hopefully, not sure how she would react if he turned her down.

Without a word, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, and wrapping his arms around her small waist.

Nipping at his lower lip, she ran her hands into his hair. He chuckled at her eagerness. Giving her what she wished, he lightly ran his tongue over her lips, pleased at the moan he received in return. Her kisses were something he could get used to very quickly.

Needing oxygen, she broke away from him and stood back. "Thanks for the ride home." Kagome reached for the door handle and then remembered she left her bag and coat with Jakotsu back at Calypso's. She looked back up at Sesshoumaru and laughed nervously. "Do you have a cell phone?"

Shaking his head he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the phone. He opened it and typed in his key code before handing it to her. He silently observed her as she dialed, sneaking a quick peek at her legs. Even though he was in a committed relationship he was half tempted to snatch the phone from her, take her to the nearest hotel and feel what those legs would feel like wrapped around his hips. And over his shoulders. Maybe even slung over his side. Hell, even propped up on the headboard. So many ideas for those tanned legs ran through Sesshoumaru's mind.

His head snapped back up to her face when he heard the little plastic click of her closing the phone. "I had to call my roomie to come unlock the door for me," she clarified.

Taking the phone from her, he stuffed it back into his pocket. "I'll wait until she gets here. The streets aren't exactly the safest place to be at this hour." He pulled her back to his chest and wrapped both of them up in his coat when he saw her slightly shiver. "Kagome," he said.

"Yes?"

"It's good to know you kiss as well as you throw a punch," he said with a low laugh.

"You saw that?"

"Everything from the martini to the pissed model. I was on my way over to get that guy off of your back. I thought he was bugging you."

"Thanks, I guess." Through the frosted glass of the door she saw Sango walk up. She leaned up and gave him a slight peck on the cheek. "Thanks for the ride. I really appreciate it."

Releasing her from his arms when her friend opened the door, he leaned down to her ear and whispered so only she could hear. "I wonder what else you can do as well as you punch." Happy at the flush on her cheeks, he stepped away and walked back toward his car without a glance back.

Kagome turned to Sango, who stood in the doorway in just her sweats and a tank top. "Explain to me, young lady, exactly why you don't have your keys and why you were down here locking lips with one of the most well known models in the world who is supposed to be gay?"

"You were spying on us?"

"Nope, just glad you are getting something from someone other than Inuyasha. Come on, it's late." The two walked into the building and shut the door behind them.

Twenty minutes after Sesshoumaru left Kagome's building he walked into the apartment he and Jaken shared. Slipping off his shoes, he walked to the bedroom to Jaken laying in bed reading "Valley Of The Dolls".

"What the hell took you so long?" the small man in the bed questioned.

Sesshoumaru went over to him and gave him a kiss. "I gave someone a ride home." He reached into his pocket and gave Jaken the candy bar that he had originally left go get. "But I didn't forget." He walked over to the dresser and pulled a pair of sleep pants out.

"You were with a woman. I could taste her lip gloss on your lips and smell her on your clothes. She wears Gucci Rush perfume." He set his book on the night stand and took off his reading glasses.

"So what if I was? You know I dated women before we got together."

"Why? What does a woman have that I don't?"

Sesshoumaru looked over at him with amusement. "A vagina? Breasts?"

"Har har," Jaken shot back sarcastically. "They are too soft, and they cover themselves with all sorts of nasty products that are supposed to make them beautiful. Kissing them is like kissing a wax model because of all of the goo they wear on their lips."

Not wanting to argue, Sesshoumaru went into the bathroom and stripped down. He turned on the shower and sat on the toilet while the water heated. Standing, he picked up his shirt and sniffed it. Her perfume was lingering.

He tossed the shirt into the hamper and went to the shower, enjoying the heat on his tired muscles.

Jaken did bring up some pretty valid points, but that was just his opinion. He knew many a gay man that had infatuations with different parts of a woman. Jakotsu, for example, had a fascination and love for breasts. Especially Kagome's. Many times he had overheard conversations between Jakotsu and Bankotsu talking about how nice they thought Kagome's breasts were and how much Jakotsu wanted to play with them. His logic: he was bisexual, she might let him on one of his "straight" nights.

He had enjoyed his short time with Kagome, enjoyed the softness and scent of her skin and body, the taste of her strawberry lip gloss. She didn't wear very much make up, she was slender yet her form was still had the right womanly curves.

He wanted to see her again. Needed to see her again.

His fittings may have been over for the time being, but he still had to see Jakotsu everyday until the show; that would be his perfect opportunity to bed the girl and get him out of her system.

Turning off the water, he reached over for his towel and quickly dried himself off. Walking back into the bedroom, forgoing pants, he slid into bed with his boyfriend.

The next morning Kagome was roused from sleep by a cold body slipping under the covers with her. Cracking her eyes open, she saw nothing but a mess of black hair. The person quickly settled and pulled her over to them.

"Honey, I'm home," he said.

Kagome wanted nothing more than to snuggle into his embrace, but something had to be said. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?"

"What, I can't come and see my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm still your girlfriend? I thought you made it painfully clear that I was nothing more than a good fuck before you left last month." She started to squirm away from him.

"You are a good fuck, but you are more than that," he said, moving his hands up her sleep shirt to play with her breasts.

"No." She struggled away from him. "I'm tired of these games! You bounce back and forth from me to Kikyo, and I'm tired of it!"

Inuyasha sat up and looked at her, his eyes suddenly serious. "You know I love you and only you."

"Then why do you play with me? If you love me so damn much prove it!" She wanted to sob, but didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the few tears from slipping when his eyes started to water.

"I never meant to hurt you. Let me prove to you that I love you, and if you aren't satisfied I'll leave." He leaned over and kissed her, wiping the tears from her cheeks with his thumb. "I love you, Kagome Higurashi." Pushing her back to the bed, he covered her body with his with full intentions of showing how much he loved her.
