A Concert?

Chapter 5: The Kiss

Kagome suddenly jumped at the loud volume around her. She was in her room with Sesshomaru looking at her calmly. The song playing downstairs was ‘Rage Beat’ by Bad Luck.


Something frightening attracts my gaze. An irritating desire, spit out by the wanton wind.

In a widening crack on the road, the lights of the signals melt, leaving only a scar.

Before that dozing noise erases tomorrow.

My footsteps echo as I pursue my ambition.

I will not stop for anything.

Any unsatisfying emotion I will just ignore and move beyond.

Shivering, shyly, I took aim for the gap in my world.

Following it, I arrived at a new place. I Want New World.

My guilty feelings combine to form the tears that carve into the main streets.

Distorting the sound of my footsteps even now.

I will not stop for anything.

Any unsatisfying emotion I will just ignore and move beyond.

Shivering, shyly, I took aim for the gap in my world.

Following it, I arrived at a new place. I Want New World.


By the end of the song, Kagome and Sesshomaru had walked downstairs with their ears covered to find Souta, Rin, Shippo, and Inuyasha all dancing in front of the tv to the next video coming on. Kagome giggled as Inuyasha wiggled his butt in a very doglike fashion while trying to copy Souta in doing the twist. Sesshomaru just smirked at the scene before him.

“Amateur”

“Who you calling amateur, you jackass.”

“I am calling you one Inuyasha, for your lack of grace in both battle and something as simple as dancing.”

By now, more people were in the room and in the conversation, for although Kagome cared very deeply for Sesshomaru, she would not stand by and let him beret Inuyasha for something he had no control over.

“Sesshomaru, perhaps Inuyasha is having trouble with dancing because no one ever taught him.”

“Perhaps you are right koi.”

“In my time, parents do not always teach their children to dance, nor can they always afford teachers for such things.”

“Then, how do you learn, and just how well do you yourself dance?”

“Yea, Kagome, we have yet to see you dance at all. Let’s see if you can do better than me.”, remarked Inuyasha sharply.

“Trust me, my sister can really dance good. She learned from watching these music videos and doing what she saw, plus as she always told me, follow the music and let it lead you.” everyone was surprised at the voice, it was Souta. He knew that his sister could dance very well, he had seen her stay up for hours on end and practice when she thought no one knew.

The next video came on and it was a country song and was one of Kagome's favorite songs to dance to. Kagome listened for a second, and then started moving with the music. Everyone was in the living room by this time with the exceptions of mama and gramps, who both knew very well how she danced. All were speechless as she dipped and twirled in perfect unison with the music like it was made just for her. Her arms and legs looked as though they were floating among the clouds. Kikyo and Keade could both plainly see the total release of all stress as she floated around the room. As the song came to an end, she did a perfect bow right in front of Sesshomaru and finally opened her eyes and all finally saw the tears there.

“Kags, why are you crying?” Sango asked.

“Because I have not done that in a long time.”

“Done what?” asked Kikyo.

“Danced….truly danced.”, Kagome replied shyly.

The room busted out in cheers and Kagome blushed about ten shades of red until she was almost purple. Sesshomaru wondered silently as to why she was so shy when it came to things she was really good at. He made a mental note to ask her mother about it alone later.

Everyone joined Mama Higurashi in the kitchen for a quick breakfast, but with everyone that was there, it took about five boxes full of cereal, three loaves of bread, four dozen eggs, and six gallons of milk before everyone was full. All during breakfast, Ayame was eyeing Kouga, Rin was blushing at Souta’s childish antics to impress her, Gramps was filling Keade in on all the history of the shrine and she was very interested in knowing it, Inuyasha was spending his time glancing between Kagome and Kikyo and glaring at Sesshomaru, Mama Higurashi was making sure everyone had all they needed and making polite conversation with Sesshomaru and Jaken, Shippo was constantly talking with his mouth full (with Kagome scolding him lightly about how rude it was), and Sango was having to ward off Miroku’s ‘cursed’ wandering hand from hers and any other female’s backside. After everyone was finished, they all thanked Ms. Higurashi for the meal and went outside to help out by cleaning the grounds. Kikyo, Kagome, Sango, and even Rin all went for the brooms to start sweeping. Kouga, Ayame, Inuyasha, Kaede, Miroku, Shippo, and Jaken all got rags to start a major dusting and cleaning of the shrine. Sesshomaru ascended his cloud and started pruning all the trees away from what Kagome had called ‘power lines’ and to also bring down any large dead branches to prevent them from falling on unsuspecting visitors. Souta and Mama started a bonfire in the back to burn all the leaves and branches. Kagome was glad she had called a group meeting to ask this favor from everyone. She knew her grandfather was in failing health and since she was traveling back and forth to the feudal age, she had no time to help clean the shrine properly. Sesshomaru had been the first to agree, but stated that he would not do anything too demeaning to his station in life.

With everyone working together, the shrine was looking almost new by dinnertime, everyone had just took lunch on the run, continuing with work while eating sandwiches. Grandpa Higurashi came out occasionally to try and start working and to inspect how the shrine was looking, but he was ushered back in by Souta claiming it was to be a surprise for him and to not come back out. When everyone was done, Sesshomaru asked to take everyone out to dinner to save Ms. Higurashi from cooking for everyone. He secretly wanted to taste what Kagome had called ‘fast food’. Since that is what he suggested, they all went to WacDonald’s to try their luck with the new type of food. Everyone sampled various things from the menu and took up half the restaurant’s seating. Sesshomaru insisted on sitting alone with Mama Higurashi one the opposite end from everyone else. He went right into asking questions.

“Ms. Higurashi, why is Kagome so shy at times, like when she danced this morning?”

“I suppose that has to do with her father, he was never really any good at praising her, so she does not know how to take compliments from males.”

“Sou ka, I may just have to see if I can change that in her.”

“Sesshomaru-sama, just be careful with her. I can see that you both care deeply for each other, but after Inuyasha hurt her heart, I do not want to see her hurt like that again.”

“I understand, and I promise that I do not want to hurt her in that or any way ever, I want to love her and have her love me for all eternity.”

“I know, but as a mother, I can not help but worry for her.”

By this time, the children were more than ready to get out the door so that they could play again, so Rin and Souta jumped into the booth that Sesshomaru and Mama Higurashi were sharing. The both hurried with their food and within a few moments, everyone was heading back to the shrine. Kagome was walking beside Sesshomaru at the back of the group.

“Sesshomaru?”

“Hai?”

“What were you and mama talking about?”

“Koi, would you allow me a simple pleasure if I told you?”

“A pleasure? What would you want?”

“A kiss from you, right here and now.”

“Hai, but you need to tell me what you were talking about first.”

“We were talking about your shyness about things you are good at.”

Right after saying that, Sesshomaru swept Kagome up into his arms and gently pressed his lips to hers in a chaste kiss. He licked at her bottom lip, begging for entrance into her sweet, unexplored cavern. She granted it to him with a soft sigh as his velvet lips danced over hers in an unknown dance of their own. He plunged his tongue into her mouth, tasting and gently mapping her mouth with his tongue. She started a tentative battle for dominance with her tongue. A few minutes after their kiss started, the need for air became too great and they parted, panting hard. Kagome felt like she had died and gone to heaven until she heard everyone around her. All but Inuyasha started hooting and yelling encouragements at them to continue. Inuyasha had a look that was a mix of rage and loss. Kikyo, seeing this, held onto Inuyasha tightly and whispered to him that she was there and she loved him. He looked back at Kikyo with gratitude in his eyes.

"I am glad you are with me, but i must get used to the idea of not having Kagome.", Inuyasha said sadly.

"It is alright, love."

“Kikyo, do you think we could have been like that?”

“Hai, but I do not believe you realize that although I am not as I once was, my love for you is the same.”

“Demo Kikyo, we can never have pups.”

“Who is to say that you are capable of producing pups?”

“Kikyo, are you trying to say that I am not man enough??”

“Not at all my love, but it is a possibility that had I lived, we would have been without pups.”

“Hey guys, what are you talking about?” asked Kagome.

“Pups.”, replied Kikyo

“Interesting, so tell me, who is wanting them?”

“Inuyasha.”

“Mm, let me think and talk with Sesshomaru and my mama”, Kagome whispered to Kikyo.

“Hai.”
