Summary: In which Sesshoumaru gets nervous… and Kagome can't seem to control herself.
Sesshoumaru squirmed in his seat uncomfortably. He could feel her mischievous gaze on him - again! It was like she was trying to burn a hole into the side of his face. It had been this way ever since he had given her that damn invitation! He had known it was a bad idea to let her in on the marketing convention so early in advance but, he had done it anyway. He had no one to blame but himself for having to deal with her mysterious eyes and sly smirks for the past three days.
And now, Kagome was sitting across the aisle from him on the plane, tormenting the hell out of him without even trying. It wasn't anything she was doing in particular at the moment, but Sesshoumaru knew that she was not as innocent as she made herself appear.
He took a peek at her from the corner of his eye and with his peripheral vision, he saw her slowly approaching him. His gaze traveled the length of her body as he, once more, took in her casual attire - plain, v-necked tee, jeans, and sneakers. It was the most comfortable he had ever seen her and he found that he deeply approved of that refreshing change. Blouses with slightly strained buttons, short pencil skirts, and heels were wondrous on Kagome's frame, but there was just something about her current outfit that appealed to him.
Just then, Kagome reached his aisle and Sesshoumaru quickly turned his attention back to the stack of papers he held in his hands, pretending he had been concentrating on them the entire time. He hated to admit it, but Kagome made him nervous. Nervous. When had he, Sesshoumaru, ever been nervous?
She was close enough for him to be completely surrounded by her scent now - that same peaches and cream scent that had drove him wild. He could feel her body heat radiating off her skin now.
Kagome took another step forward. Sesshoumaru tensed. The jet hit an unexpected turbulence.
She stumbled towards him. His head snapped up, eyes wide.
Kagome caught herself at the last moment. Sesshoumaru released a soundless gasp.
She looked down and blushed. He stiffened.
"Oops," Kagome said, quickly releasing his rather large package from her firm grip.
Sesshoumaru almost fainted.
And yet, somehow, he had an inkling that it wasn't as accidental as it seemed…
