Chapter 6: Our Little Secret

(A/N: Please don’t forget: Sesshomaru is Kagome and is addressed as he. Kagome is Sesshomaru and is addressed as she. Please don’t be confused. These two switched bodies.)


“I wonder if it went through----” Souta whispered to himself.

Tick tock tick tock BING BONG BING BONG BING BONG

Souta glanced towards the wall clock and had a deep sigh as he poured tea into cups and placed it onto the tray. It was already six and his mother was not yet home, ‘Thank goodness okaa-san will freak if she finds out!’ He placed the kettle down the table and picked up the packed flavored bread Mrs. Higurashi had left in case he gets hungry when she’s not home. ‘But it’s not like oneechan will tell her that.' Then very carefully he picked the tray and walked towards his sister’s room. Silence. He swallowed hard and was just about to knock when Sesshomaru’s cold voice surprised him.

“Come in.”

Souta took a breath to calm his nerves and opened the door revealing Sesshomaru sitting cross-legged on the chair across Kagome, eyeing her. The said girl was sitting on the floor with her legs stretched forward. His eyes wandered towards the ankle of his sister’s body and he inwardly smirked remembering how Sesshomaru flung Kagome on his shoulder and carried her towards the house whilst she was struggling and shouting at the taiyoukai to put her down. The two were staring intently at each other not saying anything, ‘They’re still annoyed about that I suppose.’ Souta came in when he met with the taiyoukai’s welcoming eyes.

“Anou… you two must be hungry.” Souta stuttered.

“Arigatou, Souta.” Sesshomaru said thankfully as he picked up one of the packed breads.

Souta turned towards Kagome and placed the tray down waiting for her to pick her share. Kagome stared at the boy then down to the strange food he was offering her.

“This Sesshomaru is not hungry.” Kagome said refusing.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes but kept his cool, “Kami! Not this scene again!!! Sesshomaru-sama onegai. Eat.”

“This Sesshomaru will not eat, I do not need it.” Kagome answered stubbornly.

“For crying out loud, my throat is still pretty abused from the last time I forcefully shoved food down in it because you can’t eat by yourself!!!! Don’t be such an ass!!!!” Sesshomaru lashed out.

“That is your fault miko. You were the one shoving food down your own throat not me.”

Sesshomaru growled, “You incons-----”

DING DONG DING

Souta stood and turned to the door, “It’s probably okaa-san. I’ll get it.”

The boy walked out the door and left the steaming Sesshomaru, he abruptly followed Souta before he took one step down the stairs.

“Hmph.” Kagome just mumbled as she scanned the room, taking note of all the strange things surrounding her. ‘So this is where the miko resides, such a strange place.’ She smirked. ‘Suites her completely like her attitude.’

Sesshomaru still hadn’t returned inside the room after following after Souta, of course not that she cared, but she did wonder what was happening outside the room. Suddenly a loud crash was heard downstairs pulling him out of her thoughts. Kagome turned her head towards the door and crawled towards it.

“Eep!” a female voice shrieked.

It was followed by, “A youkai!!! Take this!!!!!”

And lastly, “Jii-san!!!!” Souta tried to stammer stopping his grandfather.

Then it became quiet. When no further noise was made Kagome shrugged and crawled back to where she was sitting deducing that everything had settled down. Again she waited boredly, looking at her feet. A fragrant aroma wafted towards her nose that made her stomach rumble. Hissing at her stomach’s sound she tried hard to ignore it but as every second passes it became louder. Her sight fell upon the food the boy called Souta brought to them a while ago. Swallowing hard while looking back and forth the door and the tray she picked up the bread. He gave it a long look inspecting it from side to side and then sniffing at it. ‘Hmmmm----smells nice.’ Her stomach started to rumble again. ‘What did the little kit call this? Ninja food? I wonder if it tastes like the one the miko fed me.’ She licked it trying to see if it tastes good as it smells, but her eyes widened in shock and stuck out her tongue in disgust.

“Sesshomaru-sama?” the taiyoukai called but stopped right beside the doorframe as he eyed the girl.

Kagome dropped what she was holding as she gaped at the taiyoukai. A blush ran across her cheeks, and then she shook her head roughly. She glared at the damned food she picked up earlier.

“I’m glad I didn’t accept the food the little boy gave me.”
Kagome asked like nothing had happened. “Miko, that food is not edible, yet you ask me to eat it? Are you asking me to go die?”

Sesshomaru’s brow twitched but smirked inwardly and stepped inside the room, closing the door behind him and locking it. ‘Not hungry are you. Hmph---you’re so arrogant. I’ll teach you a lesson.’ He walked towards her and sat. Kagome watched him as he picked up the one she had just dropped. Opened the packet with a pop and sniffed at the enticing fragrance. Slowly he removed the food from its package and took a bit out of the bread.

“Mmmmmmmmnnn.”

Again he took a bite as he rolled his golden orbs to the corner of his eyes trying to assay the miko.

“Ddddeeellliiccciious!!!!” he delightfully squeaked. “Too bad someone here doesn’t want any food-----guess I’ll just have to
finish this off.”

Kagome watched intensely as the taiyoukai took another bite, she swallowed hard feeling her throat suddenly dry, the rumblings of her stomach were also beginning to intensify.

“Perhaps----” she suddenly uttered.

Sesshomaru stared at her blinking, “Perhaps what?”

Kagome swallowed once more, “----this body does need food. So give me some.”

His eyes rolled, “Say please.”

“This Sesshomaru does not plead.”

“Well yeah, this Kagome is running out of patience from your arrogance. Besides you are definitely asking for this, I mean refusing the food given to you. I’m not giving you anything until you say please.” He said firmly. “I don’t care if you starve to death.”

“I don’t understand you at all wench. First you try to get me to eat and now this?” Kagome smirked, “You mean you will let me starve to death in your own body? You are bluffing.”

He gave an equivalent evil smirk at her, “Oh hey, that’s not such a bad idea. I mean I’ve been meaning to diet for quite a while now and now I won’t have to suffer for months of not eating-----
you do it.”

Kagome groaned, ‘What incarnations is a diet???’, “Miko----” her word laced with contempt.

Sesshomaru continued biting down the bread until he finished all of it. When he was about to pick up the last piece on the tray Kagome snatched it away. He shot his eyes up and looked at the girl in front of him. She was staring at the packet and trying to figure out how to open it when it was taken from her.

“I told you no, until you say please.” Sesshomaru barked while starting to peel away the plastic wrapped around the bread.
Kagome groaned again, “This Sesshomaru does not plea~~~”

He took a bite from the bread and chewed slowly, Kagome glared at him once more as her hands turned into fists as she grasped the hem of her skirt. ‘If it wasn’t for this rumbling stomach~~~~’
“Feed me-----please.” She asked in a very low tone.

Sesshomaru stopped and quirked his brow, “I can’t hear you.”

Kagome looked at him squarely in the eye, “Feed me please.”

He got up holding the bread he was eating in one hand and picked up the one left at the table earlier. He opened it effortlessly and went back to Kagome.

“That wasn’t too hard, wasn’t it?” he asked while giving the now opened pack of bread.

Kagome mumbled incoherent words as she took the food in her hands and stared at it for a while.

“What’re you waiting for?”

She shot a glare from the taiyoukai and then bit down on the bread, chewed it slowly and her eyes popped wide open as she stared at the little piece of ‘ninja food’, ‘Delicious.’

Mrs. Higurashi turned to the doorframe of their kitchen as she happily prepared breakfast for the whole family and their special guest. She could still remember how she freaked out last night dropping her groceries at the sight of another youkai in their humble home other than Inuyasha, but then again she slightly blushed as she remembered how the man looked like. ‘I wonder how many good looking guys are acquaintances of my daughter?’ Souta came in rubbing his eyes and yawning.

“Okaa-san, where’s jii-san?” Souta asked not seeing his grandfather at his usual seat.

“Don’t you remember Souta-chan?” Mrs. Higurashi replied as she placed plates at the table. “He has visited his old friend…seems he won’t be back ‘til later tonight.”

“Oh.” The boy answered.

“I will be going out as well, I have some errand I have to take care of.” She announced. “Oh, Souta-chan? Could you get your sister and Sesshomaru-sama for breakfast? I will be leaving in a little while.”

Souta nodded twice and yawned as he trekked towards his sister’s room. The door suddenly opened revealing the taiyoukai with a messed up hair and rings just below his eyes.

“Oneechan?” Souta mumbled.

He looked downward and acknowledged the boy below him, “Ohayou----Souta.”

Sesshomaru stepped back from the door letting Souta in then closing the door behind him. Kagome was still in bed, cuddled up in her blanket and lightly snoring. The annoyed taiyoukai sat on the floor beside the bed and watched her toss and turn.

“You look tired.” Souta noticed. “Haven’t you slept?”

He grumbled as he remembered last night’s events. After dinner the two of them went back to the room and Sesshomaru told Kagome to sleep. Of course her reflexive answer was, “This Sesshomaru doesn’t need rest.” And before another argument ensued he scooped her bridal style and threw her to the bed. Sesshomaru then clicked the light off and then slid beside her, ‘Hmph, this is my bed after all!!! And Kami!! I’m not sleeping on the floor!!!’ Kagome tried numerous times to crawl away but finally she got pinned down with one arm around her waist and a glaring taiyoukai. Kagome turned her head away, suddenly feeling her heart beat skip one beat and Sesshomaru felt it was so wrong right now so he quickly tried to sleep. Soon after he was snoring lightly and the girl beside him well he didn’t exactly know but she wiggled, and then the inevitable happened-----he had woken so suddenly due to a sharp pain that coursed through his body.

Sesshomaru massaged his temple, “I had. But then-----” He turned his head towards Kagome now spread out on the bed. “-----Sesshomaru-sama kept tossing and turning and had hit me accidentally, uh----uhrm-----there. Anyway to make matters worst, I was pushed several times off the bed!!!! It made me stay awake for the rest of the night trying to doze off on the floor.”

Souta smiled nervously not knowing to be amused or to sympathize with the current state of her sister. “Oh! That must’ve-----hurt. The hitting part I mean.” Was all that he could say.

Kagome’s lips slightly curled.

“Damn!!! I really think he did it on purpose!!!!” Sesshomaru growled. “I swear!!!! He’s just feigning sleep.”

Kagome turned once more, her back in front of them.

“Grrrr!!!” he growled annoyed, then glanced back to Souta. “That aside what brings you here early in the morning?”

Souta faltered, “Oh----I forgot!!! Okaa-san told me to bring the two of you down for breakfast!!!!”

“I see.” Sesshomaru answered but made no effort to move.
Souta turned around and walked towards the door.

“Souta, just remember our little secret.” Sesshomaru reminded the little boy. “Don’t let okaa-san know the truth, and Sesshomaru-sama too.”

Kagome propped her head up as she stared at the two siblings winking at each other. Souta exited the room leaving the two of them.

“What is it that you intend to hide from this Sesshomaru?” she asked wryly.

The taiyoukai snorted and spoke arrogantly with an icy tone, “Didn’t you hear me? It was mine and his secret only, Sesshomaru-sama.”

Kagome pouted as she laid her head on the pillow once more. ‘What could it be that they hid from this Sesshomaru? And do I always sound like that? It’s annoying.’

“Ewww!!!” Sesshomaru suddenly squeaked.

Kagome jumped out of her reverie to look at the taiyoukai with her steely eyes, “What is it now miko? I told you not to act like that! Not while inside my body.”

Sesshomaru sniffed around her for a while and waved his hand in front of his nose, “I don’t remember smelling like that!!! You are so getting a bath!!!”
