Chapter 4

Kagome followed the waiter, still nervous about why she was being called over. Had she made a mistake somewhere? Was she doing something wrong? Questions flooded her mind, and made her heart pound harder against her ribs.

When she looked up, Kagome let out a sigh of relief as she saw Sesshomaru. ‘Sesshomaru-sama’, she greeted him. The white haired man turned his head around, and nearly choked on his drink as he saw who it was. At school, Kagome always wore things that seemed very… conservative, but seeing her like this, sent shivers down his spine. He walked up to her and moved his arm towards her, hoping that she would know what to do.

Kagome could remember the training she had gone through to become a ‘proper’ lady. Seeing his gesture, she quickly moved beside him and hooked her arm through his, but still confused about what was happening.

‘Kagome… I will explain everything later, but you will have to play along with this…’, Sesshomaru said telepathically to her. ‘Okay…’, she thought, knowing that he could read her mind. ‘I have no idea what I’m getting myself into… Why am I doing this?’, Kagome thought to herself.

‘Ah… Sesshomaru. It looks like you did bring a date along…’, his father said. Kagome looked up to see a very handsome young man, who she thought, looked like Sesshomaru’s brother. ‘Father. This is Kagome Higurashi’, Sesshomaru introduced.

‘Higurashi-san, a pleasure to meet you’, Inutaisho said, giving her a wink. Kagome could feel herself blush, though she was shocked to hear that he was Sesshomaru’s father. ‘Takashiro-sama, pleasure meeting you as well’.

‘So, shall we sit down and have a small talk? I’m curious to know more about you, Higurashi-san…’. He led them to a small, secluded table in the corner, and introduced his wife, Izayoi. Kagome couldn’t help but stare at the lady, who looked so much like Inuyasha.

‘Well, Kagome, where did you learn to play the piano so well? It’s been a while since I’ve heard music that really touches one’s soul like that’. ‘Oh, thank you. It’s not much, it’s just something I decided to learn in my spare time’, Kagome said cheerfully.

‘Did you really come here as Sesshomaru’s date, or were you here only as a pianist, and he just happened to pick you to cover up for his mistake?’. ‘What is that supposed to mean?’, Sesshomaru asked in a dangerously low voice. ‘Sesshomaru…’, Kagome said quietly. She put her hand against him, hoping he would sit back and calm down.

‘Takashiro-sama, in answer to your question, I did come as his date. He told me that he was missing a pianist, so I offered to play’, Kagome said, hoping that it sounded reasonable enough. She would ask Sesshomaru what this was all about later.

‘Really, now, that’s very generous of you to offer… Where do you work, if you don’t mind me asking?’, he continued. He was going to break this demoness, treating her just as Sesshomaru had with Izayoi. ‘She works as my personal assistant’, Sesshomaru answered for her. ‘I’m sure that she is fully capable of answering for herself, Sesshomaru’.

Sesshomaru knew his father was just doing this to teach him a lesson. It was all because of the useless human and that stupid half demon. ‘So, why do you think you’re good enough to be Sesshomaru’s date for this event? You do know that he is a very powerful businessman, and working alongside him is quite a privilege…’.

Kagome didn’t understand what was happening. ‘Wasn’t this man Sesshomaru’s father? Why is it that he is doing this? Damnit Kagome, why do you always get yourself into these things?’, Kagome thought to herself. ‘I don’t think that I’m ‘good enough’ for Sesshomaru, but having the opportunity to attend with Sesshomaru-sama means a lot to me. So, given the chance, I’m going to do my best, and cherish every moment of it’.

Inutaisho stared at the demoness, not believing that she had said that. He had expected that she would be angry, or have tears in her eyes at least, but much to his surprise, she was completely emotionless, and was even finding the good parts to it.

Sesshomaru almost smirked when he saw his father’s facial expression. When Sesshomaru had asked Izayoi that question, she had tears in her eyes, and could only mumble and stutter random words. He looked at Kagome, who was still sitting back in the chair, looking as if nothing had happened.

‘There’s something special in this girl… No wonder Sesshomaru brought her along… I wonder if…’. Inutaisho smiled to himself, ‘Fair enough… There is something else… I would like to see the two of you dance… That’s something you will really remember, right?’, he said to Kagome

Kagome had remained emotionless for the entire time that she was with Inutaisho, but upon hearing this request, she couldn’t help but blush. She knew that Sesshomaru would never want to dance with her, though just thinking about dancing with such an elegant and handsome man, made her feel as though butterflies were fluttering around in her stomach.

‘What…’, Sesshomaru began. ‘Now now, Sesshomaru, you don’t want to disappoint your guests, do you? And plus, you have a stunning dance partner. Really, you have nothing to lose by dancing’. Sesshomaru glared at his father. ‘And what IF I don’t want to dance? Then what are you going to do?’. ‘That wasn’t a question, Sesshomaru’.

Kagome felt someone grab her hand and pull her up. ‘Come on, let’s get this over with quickly’, Sesshomaru said. He led her into the ballroom, where a string ensemble was playing. Kagome watched as the other couples danced gracefully across the floor, gazing passionately at each other. She tried to imagine what it would be like, but somehow, the only person that would appear in her mind was Sesshomaru.

Shaking the thoughts from her mind, she followed Sesshomaru to the center of the ballroom as the next movement started. Gently, she placed her hand at his shoulder, which would have been above her head since she was in her human form, though having heels helped.

Sesshomaru placed one hand at her waist, and the held her hand in the other. The next movement would be a waltz, and judging by Kagome’s position, she knew this as well. He tried to distract his mind and avoid looking at the girl, whom he held, but despite his efforts, his eyes wandered back to her. Her flawless, silky skin, her luscious curves, her deep brown eyes…

Kagome’s heart was racing. She had never felt this way, and she didn’t know why. He looked absolutely stunning, and his movements corresponded hers perfectly. ‘Maybe its just that he’s handsome. Yes… That’s probably why…’, she thought to herself. She took in a deep breath, and was greeted with a light scent of aftershave that drove her crazy. She had never smelled anything like it before, and found that it was addicting.

After a few moments, she felt a bit dizzy from trying to inhale more of his scent, and immediately returned to her normal breathing. Soon enough, the dance was over, and her little fantasy was over as well. They walked back to where Inutaisho and Izayoi were sitting, and found them smiling at them.

‘Well… That was most impressive. Turns out I have to leave now, though I would love to stay. Sesshomaru… Can I have a word with you?’. Kagome watched as the two men left, and decided that now she could figure out of Inuyasha was somehow caught up in this big mess. ‘Um… Izayoi-san, I was just wondering if you happened to know someone by the name of Inuyasha?’, Kagome asked quietly.

‘Oh! Yes, Inuyasha is my son. I’m afraid he and Sesshomaru don’t get along too well, so he hasn’t attended the event’. ‘Oh, that’s too bad…’, Kagome replied.

‘Come on, Izayoi, time to be off now! Pleasure meeting you, Higurashi-san, I hope that we have more opportunities to see each other! Farewell for now!’. Kagome smiled and waved as they entered the limousine. Making sure that they were completely out of site, she turned to Sesshomaru, hoping for an explanation.

‘Kagome… I would just like to say thank you for putting up with this. This event has been quite tiresome to organize, and during the hectic planning, I forgot to find a date, which my father, demanded that I bring. He was acting that way because I treated his human wench “poorly”, so he wanted to teach me a lesson, though you took good care of that… But anyways… Thank you again’.

She was speechless. The entire time he spoke, Sesshomaru seemed to be another person. Completely different from what she had seen so far. The way he looked at her, the way he spoke… It was enough to make Kagome faint if she wasn’t so awestruck.

‘Umm… It was nothing… Glad I could be of some help’, Kagome said, blushing. A gust of wind blew towards her, causing her to shiver slightly. Being the perfect gentleman, Sesshomaru took off his coat and placed on her. Kagome looked up, and smiled, though to her dismay, he had returned to his regular self.

‘If you need a ride home, I can arrange for someone to come pick you up’, Sesshomaru said. ‘Oh, it’s okay! My mother will be coming soon… But thanks for the offer… I guess… I’ll be seeing you at school?’. ‘Yes… School it is’.

As Kagome saw her mother’s car park in front of the hotel, she turned to look at Sesshomaru once more. ‘Good bye then…’. ‘Goodbye, Kagome… And thank you…’, he replied, smiling slightly.

He watched as she walked to the car, and waved once more, he himself, waving back.


Unknown to the two, a camera clicked a few more times, capturing their moments together. ‘Well… Turns out that the ‘all mighty’ Sesshomaru Takashiro has found a lover… Better than nothing!’.
