Dirty Little Secret

Kagome sat alone in her room that night, tired from the day's events. Today was her mother's forty-second birthday and she spent the day with her mother, grandfather, and little brother out shopping. Her grandfather came to the conclusion that she didn't get spoiled enough since she spent all of her time trying her hardest to take care of her children and wanted to give her a day of pampering. Souta complained at first, but Kagome quickly shut him up. It wasn't very often that they saw their mother with such a joyful look on her face, but after they left the mall her smile was blinding. She had a good time that day, and the bags that her kids and father-in-law were a testament to that.



When they arrived home she and Kagome holed themselves up in her room, having mother/daughter talks and enjoying each other's company.



"My mother and I didn't have a relationship like this," she said, buffing Kagome's nails in preparation for a coat of paint. "That is why I want us to be as close as we can. You can always come to me with anything."



"Thanks mom. I feel bad that Rin doesn't have a mother to come to if she has any problems," Kagome replied.



Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "Tell her if she ever has any problems she can come to me. Rin is a darling girl."



Silence filled the room. Kagome pondered how exactly Rin felt about losing her mother, and if it was the same feelings she had after losing her father.



Her mother broke the silence. "How are things doing with you and Inuyasha? Are there any violet eyed grandchildren in my future?"



"Mom!" Kagome groaned.



"What? Can't a woman dream?"



"Dreams may be all you have since I found him with Kikyo three weeks ago before Souta's party having sex in his car."



Her mother patted her hand. "Don't worry about it, dear. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. What about that Miroku boy? You know, that friend of your grandpa's friend's son. You two would make a handsome pair."



"But he's like twenty five!"



"I was only eighteen when I met your father and he was thirty. We fell in love and had two beautiful children!"



"But-" Kagome was flustered. She couldn't tell her mother about Sesshoumaru. Kagura knew, but she knew that she wouldn't say anything. After a brief scare with her cousin Naraku stalking her, she and Kagura had a bit of an understanding. They would help each other if needed, but otherwise they stay out of each other's way.



"Alright, dear. Just one day before I die I would like to have grandchildren from you!"



----





Kagome was woken up by a ringing phone. She grabbed it off of the bedside table, somehow managing not to knock over everything on the tabletop in the process, and answered it. There was only one person who would be calling the phone, the only person who had the number, the one that bought it for her.



"Couldn't sleep?" she answered.



"Not without you," the voice on the other end replied.



She smiled at the thought. Over the past few weeks she had been staying at Rin's more and more because of working on the project. The only reason she wasn't there tonight was because of her mother's birthday. She didn't mind spending the time with her family, she just wanted to spend time with her lover too. She wanted to call him a boyfriend, especially since she broke up with Inuyasha when she found him fucking her cousin in his car that was the last straw. It was clear that he didn't want to wait for her as far as sex went, just wanted to get it where he could since she refused to let him take her virginity. But Sesshoumaru and boyfriend didn't really add up. All in all, just like he had said after their first encounter, he was her dirty little secret.



"I miss you at my side," he said, his smooth voice breaking through her thoughts.



"I thought this was only a dirty little secret," she commented.



"It is, but that doesn't mean I can't miss my dirty little secret," he replied. "I need you."



"I miss my dirty little secret too."



"How was your day with your mother?"



Kagome rolled over on to her back. "Not bad. She thinks she is getting old and is demanding grandchildren."



He laughed. "I would be glad to assist, but I don't think that the world would look too kindly on the relationship that we have."



"I don't think Rin would look too kindly on the relationship we have!"



"You are very right. But I think it is time I did something for myself. Everything I have done since her mother died has been for her. I have never brought another woman into the house, I very rarely date, and now that I've found someone that appeals to me, I'm going to hold on."



"What are we going to do if she finds out?"



"We will deal with that when the time comes. Did you buy anything for yourself when you went out with your mother?"



"A few things. A pair of ear rings, a new pair of shoes, and a game for Souta. Mom looked at me odd when she saw me buying all of it. Probably wondered where I got the money from."



"Tell her that you have been working for me after school. If you want you can stand in as my secretary after school when Yura goes on vacation."



"That would at least make it believable. It's not everyday that a young girl goes into a jewelry store and pays almost three hundred dollars for a pair of ear rings. Mom didn't see me buy those though. Just the boots."



"Boots?"



"It's a surprise!"



"It's a good thing that I like surprises."



"I can't get comfortable in bed by myself."



"Rin is spending the weekend with her grandmother, and you are going to tell your mother that you will be going with her," he said in a demanding tone.



"Oh I am, am I?"



"Yes, and you will be spending the time with me for a weekend full of debauchery."



"Shouldn't we be having sex first before we can call it a weekend full of debauchery?"



"Why don't we change that?"



She laughed. "You are so full of it."



"I want you to be full of me," he replied.



Kagome rolled her eyes. "I'll be there. I wouldn't miss the chance to spend the weekend in your bed."



"Good. I will come get you from school on Friday since Rin will be leaving at around noon."



"I'll see you then. Goodnight." I love you.



"Until then. Goodnight, Kitten."



-----





That Friday after classes Kagome stood outside of the school's gates by herself, awaiting her dirty little secret to pick her up in his black Mitsubishi that she had started to associate with lots of things that had nothing to do with driving. She got a few strange looks for standing there with her school bag and a suitcase, but she ignored them all knowing that this weekend would be special, the first they had gotten to spend together alone since they started their little affair.



She only had to wait ten minutes before the car pulled up in front of her and the trunk popped. She went over to the open trunk and put her suitcase and bag in the back before going to the passenger side of the car and sliding in.



"Where to, little girl?" Sesshoumaru asked, a wry grin on his face.



"Anywhere but here," she replied.



After she buckled her seat belt he hit the gas, speeding off in the direction of his home. "Rin is already with her grandmother, so you don't have to worry about her asking questions."



Like their normal car rides, this one was silent save for a few questions about how their day was and a few stolen kisses at stoplights. When they arrived at his home he popped the trunk and got her bag and suitcase out. "What did you do, woman, pack for a week?"



Kagome just shrugged her shoulders. "You are the parent of a teenage daughter, of all people you should know that teen girls do not pack light."



He hesitated for a moment when she said teen girl, especially since her age didn't ever really come to mind when they were together. She did a lot of things that normal teenage girls did, but she acted older in a lot of ways. The sudden reminder of the age gap was a cold slap to the face, but he was determined to not let it ruin his weekend with her.



She followed him into the house and to his room, where she began to unpack her bag. A few weeks ago he decided that she would have a drawer in his dresser and a small space in his closet so she put away her belongings in the spots where he had made room for her. After everything was in it's respective places she looked around the room. It almost looked like she lived there. She had her own drawer, she had a few dresses he had gotten for her hanging in the open closet, her perfume was on the top of the dresser next to his cologne, her earrings that she had gotten were sitting on next to his watch and cufflinks. The only thing that was missing was a copy of The Great Gatsby on the other bedside table, matching whatever book he had on his bedside table and her toiletries in the bathroom.



She turned to the door when she heard it open. Sesshoumaru stood there smiling at her. In three steps he scaled the area between them and embraced her. Kagome snuggled into his embrace and inhaled the scent of his cologne. "We will be going out to dinner tonight," he said, his voice a low rumble in his chest. "Start getting ready since we want to be there a bit early, that way we can get back and make the most of this weekend." He kissed her lightly and let her go, moving toward the closet. "Please wear the red dress I got for you." He grabbed a pair of black slacks with a plain white dress shirt, all designer as Kagome quickly found out when he presented her with a small stack of designer dresses on her last visit. Laying his choices out on the bed he looked at her with a sly grin. "Want to get a shower?"



Kagome stopped and looked at him. "Together?" That was something they hadn't ventured into yet. They had been intimate many times since the first kiss, laid around his bedroom naked on the days she would skip school to be with him, even stripped for him once on a whim, but they had never taken anything back to the room where it had all started when she walked in on him that day.



"Yes, together," he said with a nod and laugh. "We have this whole house to ourselves, the whole weekend, and I think we should take advantage of it. The next few weeks will be very busy for you and Rin with graduation coming up so I don't know when we will have this chance again."



She thought for a moment and realized he was right. Everything was just starting to pick up at school and she knew she wouldn't have another opportunity like this until after graduation when Rin went off to college in Kyoto. She still didn't know what she was going to do. Rin wanted her to go to the same school, but then Kagome wanted to go to Tokyo U so she could be close to her family. Maybe she would be able to talk Rin into staying in the city. That was something she would ponder another day. Right now there were more important matters at hand, like the naked man that stood in front of her that had managed to take off his clothes while she was lost in thought.



"You coming, kitten?" he said over his shoulder, already at the bathroom door.



Throwing caution to the wind Kagome pulled off her school uniform and dropped it into the hamper in the closet on top of his suit that he had worn to work. When she walked into the bathroom the water was already going and the mirrors covered in condensation. She walked up to the glass door and slid it open, stepping into the shower with Sesshoumaru.



"About time." He stepped out of the spray to let her get wet. The warm water felt great, relaxing her nerves and tense muscles. She felt his arms snake around her and his chest on her back and relaxed into his embrace. "For dinner I made reservations at Shibuya. All Kyoto-style cuisine. It's a place I go when I miss my mother's cooking."



"I never knew you were from Kyoto," she commented. He stepped away from her and she almost whimpered at the loss of his touch but was soon moaning in pleasure as she felt his hands massaging her scalp, washing her hair.



He laughed. "There are still many things you don't know about me."



She leaned back into his touch, enjoying the feeling of someone other than herself and her hair dresser washing her hair. "Many things that I plan to find out," she said, even though it came out more of a moan. She growled when she felt his hands move away.



"Time to rinse, kitten."



She leaned back into the spray of the shower to rinse her hair. When she opened her eyes again she saw the hungry look that was on Sesshoumaru's face and leaned up to kiss him, but pouted when she was pushed away. "If you even start that we will never get to the restaurant," he chided. "Our reservation is for 7:45. We can have all of the fun we want later tonight."



She pouted and nodded. "I was trying to make the best of this shower."



"We have the whole weekend to make the best of the shower. There are many things I want to teach you."



"Good thing I am a quick learner!"



"That you are, my dear, that you are."



-----



The restaurant was wonderful. Kagome instantly fell in love with the simple decor of neutral colors. She was shocked to find that all of the tofu was made in house and the vegetables actually shipped in from Kyoto. Sesshoumaru had insisted on getting kaiseki, though Kagome didn't think she would be able to survive through the multi-course meal.



Along with their meal Sesshoumaru ordered the most expensive sake on the menu. She was shocked at how much the man was spending on what was supposed to be a simple dinner, but then again he had also been giving her money to pamper herself and buying her expensive clothing for the few outings that they had been able to sneak away and have.



"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself," he commented somewhere between the second and third course. "Even Rin doesn't like traditional food as much now that fast food restaurants have taken over."



Kagome laughed. "I live with my grandfather, who is traditional from the way he dresses down to the way he asks mom to clean, it's all I have ever really eaten. I like WacDonalds on occasion, though."



Sesshoumaru figured so much. She was, after all, a teenage girl; and what teenage girl didn't love a good cheeseburger and fries with a milkshake? "So the restaurant pleases you?"



"Very much!" she said with a smile.



"Well, when we get home we can see what else we can find that will please the kitten." He grinned at her with a certain gleam in his eyes that Kagome knew he wasn't talking about anything even near food. The idea sent a shiver down her spine.



The rest of the meal went well, with him dropping innuendo whenever he could just to make her blush. When the bill came Kagome almost fell over. "100,000 yen? Isn't that a little excessive, Sesshoumaru?"



"Nothing is too excessive when it comes to my kitten."



She let the subject drop, though she wanted to know why he called her kitten. She never questioned it since she loved the idea that he had given her a pet name that she would only ever hear coming from his lips.



On the drive home her curiosity got the best of her. "Sesshoumaru?"



"Yes, love?"



"Why do you call me kitten?"



A deep laugh filled the car. "You are cute and innocent, but I can tell when you get angry you will not hesitate to use your claws."



-----



"How is your father, dear?" Kouinu Kimiko asked her granddaughter.



Rin smiled at the mention of her father. "He is doing great! Grandfather just gave him a bonus at work for all of the hard time he put in on the Watanabe account and he's agreed to take me and my friend Kagome to Osaka on vacation before fall semester starts!



Kimiko smiled. "I always knew your father would get far professionally. He has worked so hard to make your life as perfect as possible since your mother passed." Her smile faded at the thought of losing Ai. She was a lovely woman and completed Sesshoumaru, transforming him from hard businessman to a person who would show his feelings and love with all of his being. His life sat right in front of her right now, Rin was Sesshoumaru's life.



"Dad has done the best he could, grandmother. Life couldn't be better." She took a sip of her tea. "I wish dad would get out a little more though. I'm going to college next fall and I don't want dad to be lonely when I move out."



Her grandmother laughed, the same resonating laugh that her son had. "I think I have a few friends with single daughters..." she hinted.



"Just don't push him into anything, ok. If he's not ready to date yet it's his own problem."



"Speaking of dating, your father has mentioned a young man by the name of Kohaku." Her smile widened as her granddaughter blushed deeply, and she knew that she was in love.



"Yeah, he's..." Rin tried to find the words to describe him.



"Dreamy?" Kimiko supplied.



"1950's much, grandma?" Rin giggled.



"Hey, I'm not that old!"



-----



Sesshoumaru woke up about three in the morning, curled around Kagome's small body. When they arrived home from the restaurant he showed her how much fun the shower could be, going down on her until her knees were weak. They moved to the bedroom shortly after drying each other off where she proceeded to make his knees weak by giving him a little refresher course on how much she had learned about pleasing him. He had gotten head from many women, but she showed no shyness any more and seemed to throw caution and decency to the wind when she pleasured him and making him have orgasms like he had never had since his wife was still alive.



He was beginning to develop deep feelings towards the girl, something he didn't want at first. Truthfully he had intended to keep her around for a little while to get the lust out of his system but he had found her to be great company. He could easily talk to her about almost anything. One day he had broken down and told her about his wife; instead of getting angry like any other woman would she held him and cried with him while he cried, laughed with him when he told her about the more humorous moments they shared.



It was becoming hard to keep his hands off of her when his daughter was around. As far as he knew Kagura was the only one that knew, only because she cornered him not too long after he was first intimate with Kagome and threatened to kill him if he ever hurt her friend. He only wished things were different; he wanted to parade her around and let everyone know that the feisty girl was his and his alone.



He brushed away some stray hair away from her face and took in her sleeping form. It was times like this he felt at peace. He didn't care that she was his daughter's best friend, he didn't care about the eighteen year age gap, he didn't care that she wasn't ready to give herself to him yet. All he knew was he was falling in love with the girl.
