So I believe the next chapter should be out either Aug. 11 or Aug.12. Anywho I want to thank those who reviewed on the last chapter. Thank you! On with the story! Enjoy!
I do not own Inuyasha. But this story is all mines. AHAhahaha
"You two have fun" called Mrs. Higurashi.
"Will do Mrs. Higurashi" Naraku said as he grabs Kagome's hand and ran his thumb across her knuckles. Kagome gave a giggle to his touch.
Naraku walked Kagome to the passage side and open the door for her with a 'thank you', Kagome got inside the car. He shut the door and made way towards the driver's side. Getting I he adjusted his mirrors and gave a side glance to Kagome who was putting on her seat belt. Feeling eyes on her, Kagome looked up to see Naraku smiling at her. She returned the smile and got comfortable in her seat.
"So where are you taking me tonight?"
"To this restaurant Kouga told me about."
"So Kouga knows about your taking me on a date?"
"Not exactly"
"What do you mean by 'not exactly'?"
Naraku smiled. "He knows I'm going out with someone, but he doesn't know who that 'someone' is."
"Hmmm… I think we should go somewhere else. Somewhere Kouga doesn't know about."
"We be fine, plus I doubt Ayame is letting him go anytime soon." He said whiule starting the car.
"If you say so" Kagome mumble.
The couple ended up at one of the most prestige restaurant located in the most prestige hotel in Tokyo. Pulling into the restaurant one of the valet ran up to collect their car. Kagome took in the height of the hotel while getting out of the car. "Woah! Naraku you sure you can manage here? Kagome said with a slight worried look on her face. Naraku just reach for her hand and ran his thumb over her hand.
"I'll manage"
The restaurant was very elegant and classy. The environment was very professional and the people inside were so well dress. Kagome was really out of her element. Feeling a little self conscience she gave a tug to her dress feeling that it was a bit too short for the occasion. Naraku noticed Kagome tugging. He reached for her hand that was now tugging her dress up to cover whatever cleavage was showing. "What's with all the tugginf?" Kagome gave out a huff. "I feel so underdress. Naraku chuckled. "You look beautiful".
"Yes,yes" she said while waving her hand at Naraku. "But I feel so out of place."
He just gave her a warm smile while squeezing her hand he was still holding. They made their way to the host stand. The young man at the stand was busying himself with putting the menus in order. Naraku cleared his throat to get the young man attention. The man turned around ready to give his practiced welcome line. But seeing that it was Naraku he bowed instead.
Evening, Mr. Onigumo. It's a pleasure to have you here this evening. Your table that you arranged for is ready."
"Thank you. Now if you could." Naraku said while gesturing his hand toward the inside of the restaurant. The host took the hint. "Yes sir". He said while bowing again he turn to lead then to their assigned table.
Their table was set at an secluded corner of the restaurant. "Here's your table, sir". The man went to one of the chairs and pulled one out for Kagome to sit down. Kagome sit in the chair and gave the man a warm smile in return. "May I take your jacket, Miss?"
"Sure" the host reaches for her jacket as Kagome took off to reveal the royal blue strapless dress, Naraku did the same. He now sat with a 3-piece suit. He also took of his jacket to his suit off so he was just in his vast. His hair fell over his shoulder from his ponytail as he sat in his seat across from Kagome. The host bowed and turns to leave to put the jacket in the coatroom in the restaurant.
Now that they were alone Kagome blasted Naraku with questions. "What was all the about?" Naraku shrugged and reply that they were just doing their job. "Not when there are 5 other couples in front of us. And we get seated as soon as we walked in or should I say when he saw your face." Naraku smirked.
"Tell me, is it really Kouga that knew about this place or was it you?"
"You can say that."
"So why do you work in a grocery store if your family owns such a nice hotel?"
"Who says my family only owns this one."
"You mean there's more than one."
" My family owns two hotel and three grocery stores. Which explains why I work in the grocery store you were in the other day. Have to start somewhere.
"Why the grocery store?"
" I picked the grocery store because of the scenery."
"The scenery?. Looking at fruits and vegetable for 8 hours, how exciting."
Naraku chuckled. "I mean the people who come to my family store. They have the most interesting personalities."
The waiter decided at that moment to come to their table to take their orders. Naraku being the 'nice' guy he is, ordered both his and Kagome food. Since Kagome had no idea what to choose. While waiting on their food the couple continues to make small talk. Kagome found out that Naraku was an older brother. He had a sister who just turned 21 a couple months ago. He described her to Kagome; she had the same red eyes and dark hair as he did. They pretty much get along, but their relationship was nothing like her and Souta's. She also learned that he was born and spent most of his childhood in America. His family moved to Japan when he were 10 and his sister were 9.
" So how was it living in America?"
"It was nice the people there are…. colorful."
"Colorful, huh."
"Yes" he said as he grabs Kagome hand to run his thumb over the back of her hand.
"Tell me…. What's your relationship with Sesshoumaru?"
Kagome gave Naraku a strange look. "Sesshoumaru…why do you want to know?"
"I'm curious" was his answer.
"Okay… Um… I knew Sesshoumaru since I was 7. He , his brother Inuyasha and I were together almost all the time. We went to the same middle school, high school and college. Even though Sesshoumaru was a year older than me and Inuyasha, we still hung out with each other."
Naraku ponder at what Kagome just said. 'So she knew him for some time. I wonder if those two ever were more than friends' "Had you ever had a crush on either of the brothers? You were around them a lot, feelings had to blossom." Naraku eyes narrowed at the blush on Kagome's face.
"Well, I did have a crush on Sesshoumaru when I was 15 and he was 16. Later those feeling grew from a simple crush to love. Sesshoumaru is my best friend; he was always there for me. He made me laugh when I was sad and him and Inuyasha would beat up any guy that looked at me wrong. They were like the older brothers I never had and the same to them vice visa.
"I see" Naraku mumble as the food was placed in front of Kagome and himself. As they started to chow down on their food, Naraku couldn't help but ask one more question. Putting down his fork and then wiping the excess food from him lips, clearing his throat he waited for the raven head girl to give him her attention."If Sesshoumaru were to ever tell you his feelings for you. Would you accept them or not?" Kagome was a little thrown at Naraku's question. She couldn't help but wonder why Naraku was so curious about her and Sesshoumaru relationship. Truthfully she didn't have an answer to Naraku question. Kagome didn't really know how she would respond if Sesshoumaru ever says he have feelings for her. It was ludicrous. Sure he teases and sometimes flirts with her, but it was harmless. So her answer to Naraku question was a simple 'I don't know'. Naraku seemed to take her answer she had a feeling that won't be the last time Sesshoumaru would be brought up. They ate their food and made more small talk before leaving. Naraku offered to give Kagome a tour of the hotel before taking her home.
The Onigumo Hotel, well known for its 5 star restaurants and best rooms and room service in Toyko. Kagome had to say she impressed, very impressed. She was also surprised by how much Naraku knew about the hotel. He didn't waver at any of the questions she threw at him. In a way it reminded her of Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru knew everything about his father company. She figured that both men need to know things about their company since one they will be taking over once their fathers step down. As Naraku continued to talk, Kagome noted the look on his face. He was very pride of his family success, the hard work and the set backs,everything they went through to be where they are today. She couldn't help but reach for his hand and gave it a squeeze. Naraku stop talking to look down at their linked hands. Possessiveness swelled in Naraku's chest. From then on Kagome was going to be his, for now and forever.
During the drive home, Kagome and Naraku continued their small talk. Naraku was amused at the pet history Kagome had. The one about how her fish ended up in her dirty clothes basket was the most amusing one. After that pet her mother decided to get a family pet, their cat Buyo.
He pulled in front of Kagome's home, but Kagome didn't move to get out of the car. She turned to give Naraku a smile. "Thanks for the wonderful evening" Naraku gave her a smile in return, but Kagome still didn't make a move to leave the car. Naraku raised a brow "Did you want to say something else".
"Um.. no.. "
"Or did you want something" He said while leaning towards her.
"No" Kagome squeaked. He laughed then unbuckled her seat belt then his. Kagome felt the car shift as Naraku got out of the car. He walked around to open the door for her; he then offered his hand out to Kagome. Kagome took his hand and stepped out of the car. "How about I walk you to your door then". Grabbing her hand he led her to her front door. Kagome drop his hand to look for her keys in her clutch purse. Finding the keys she turned to unlock the door. Naraku watched how her hair sway at the little movements she made while unlocking her door. Kagome cut his staring when she turned around to say goodnight. Smiling she turned to go in, but he stopped her by placing a hand on her arm. She looked at him, neither said a word. Naraku then reached for her hands to pull her closer to him. Their faces a short distance apart, he lowers his face so they his lips could push on her for a soft kiss. Kagome melted into his kiss. Their first kiss, well actual kiss not that peck he gave her at the restaurant the other day. His lips were soft moving against her. She never had been kissed like this; there was so much possession in this kiss. His arms then move around her waist to pull her closer to his body. Kagome moaned at the force of his arms around her. He deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into her mouth to dance with her own. Pulling her lip with his teeth he pulled back just enough to mumble against her lips that he would call her later. He pulled away to walk back to his car, leaving a dazed Kagome at her front door.
The next morning Sesshoumaru decided that since it was Saturday he would take a walk around the block to clear his head. Ever since that night Naraku came to get Kagome for their date, her couldn't shake that gut feeling he had since the dark hair man comment in the kitchen in Kagome's home. Grabbing his keys he made his way to the door of his apartment. Opening the door he found Rin standing there with her right hand balled into a fist ready to knock on the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Sesshoumaru" she said cheerfully.
"Rin" was his respond while he walked out into the hallway.
"Where are you going? Can I come?"
Sesshoumaru sighed as he locked the door to his apartment. He turn to looked at the girl who seemed to pop up whenever he didn't want to be bother.
"Just for a walk" he said while he made his way to the elevator.
"Good. I'll come to". Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as they both file into the elevator. The two rode the elevator down in silent. At least that's what Sesshoumaru thought until Rin started talking. "Mr. Sesshoumaru, do you know the boy that lives on the 6 level in apartment 6E?" If Sesshoumaru could recall he heard Rin talk about this boy a few times when she was over at his place. What was his name… Hippo? Since he wasn't sure of the boy name, he just nodded his head.
"Well he told me that he likes me the other day. I pushed him and told him to shut up".
"Why did you do that?"
"I don't know if I liked him. Yea, he's the only kid in the building I can stand. But I don't know if I like him the way he likes me".
Sesshoumaru just stayed silent. He didn't know what he was suppose to say. Just then the elevator doors open to the front lobby. Sesshoumaru could have screamed at the person standing in front of the elevator. 'It had to be the day, when he didn't want to be bother".
