"Lost in a blinding hot shower of stars

My world has contracted to fit in your arms

Enveloped in you and I cannot be saved

As my heart leaps towards you, bound by its cage

I surrender myself in becoming complete." –Liz Stainton

"You're skipping home room?" Bankotsu had ran after him and continued to try and explain, though Sesshomaru seriously couldn't give a damn.

"Listen just don't tell anyone and I'll keep your little secret safe, alright?' this made Sesshomaru turn his head to met Bankotsu's eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"Come on, Sam told me. I'm just wondering how Kagome was? Was she a freak? I always envisioned her as a sexually repressed, closet masochist or something." Bankotsu gave a small chuckle and then proceeded to walk ahead.

"So, I'm guessing we have a deal?" He twisted his head over his shoulder to look at a still Sesshomaru.

"It's not what you think..."

"Whatever you say man." And Bankotsu walked off leaving a somewhat pissed Sesshomaru.

"I don't know who you've been telling or what the hell you've been telling them, but stop it. What happened was none of your fucking business and if you want to keep on my good side you'll do wise to shut your trap." Sesshomaru had cornered Sam at lunch time, everything Bankotsu had said was repeating through his head like a bad theme song, how dare this bitch spread rumors? And shit why did Bankotsu think he needed to fucking be black mailed to keep quiet, weren't they friends?

"Look, all I did was answer a question, last I heard that wasn't against the law." At this she leaned into body, raised her pointer ringer and started to caress his ear. Sesshomaru looked at her for a moment.

"It can be when you fucking say the wrong thing. If I get any shit for what you said you'll regret it." Here, with a glare, he reached onto her wrist and gently put them at her sides, no need for people to think he was abusing her. Sam got pissed, she looked around the hallway, everyone was eating so they were basically alone. She turned back to him and fixed him with a fierce glare.

"What happened with that girl? You seemed so into me, and after she came everything turned sour, can't we please start over–" here she took a breath and looked into his eyes and if he hadn't decided to pursue something with Kagome he would have thought she looked like a lonely puppy, a puppy he wanted to take home and never let go, but he's not really that sentimental anyways. So instead of saying anything nice he said this:

"look, I thought I wanted something and I thought I'd found it...in you but we all make mistakes. Now I'd like for you to stay out of my business, or-fucking-else."

And just like that he walked away, hoping he hadn't ruined a good thing, or what would have been a good thing; he was really praying he can think of a way to get Kagome. And fast. For now he was starving and he intended to sit down and enjoy a turkey sandwich.

He finally figured out how to talk to her and maybe get her to go on a date with him! He didnt know if it would work but it was sure worth a try. So ten minutes later he found himself in front of her door and pretty soon he was sweet talking her mom, joking with her brother and humoring her grandpa.

"Kagome! Visitor." Her mom yelled up the stairs and pretty soon she was descending down the stairs, he skirt bouncing and her bare feet causing creaks in the floor boards. She looked to see me and her smile faltered a bit.

"Hello Sesshomaru." her voice was low and he was hoping that was a good thing.

"Hi. I was just wondering if you wanted to walk with me to get some Ice Cream?" he soon realized the idea sounded so lame and transparent, oh well.

"Um, I don't know," she looked to her mom for help.

"Kagome it's fine if you want to go, just be back in an hour, please. And don't eat too much; I've made dinner." and Mrs. H went back into the kitchen. I smiled at her and looked to Kagome, she looked very unsure.

"Come on, you'll have fun I promise." and I walked outside and waited for her to get her shoes on.

"Bye mom!" she yelled as she closed the door softly.

"So," I was trying.

"Hmm." She apparently wasn't.

"Don't be mad at me." because I could tell she was.

"Why would I be mad, it's not like you don't humiliate your brother every other day, why should yesterday be any different?" We had reached the ends of those awful stairs and were walking down the street to find an ice cream vendor.

"Please don't be mad, I wanted today to be a good day. If you hadn't notice, I spent a good ten minutes working on this excuse to talk to you, lets not waste it by fighting." And I was so tempted to grab her hand and kiss her or anything romantic, and I probably would have if not for the look on her face. It was one of annoyance.

"Well, I just don't see why you have to make fun of someone, your brother no less. It really hurts his feeling," she was getting sad and teary eyed. So this time I did hold her hand. I looked into her eyes and I really wished I could kiss her but I knew she wouldn't have liked that. Slow and steady, I told myself.

"I'm sorry, please don't get upset, I didn't ever want for you to cry I know I do horrible things sometimes, but hey, isn't it enough that I don't do them to you?" She tugged her hands away and walked ahead while talking over he shoulder.

"It's so not enough, I don't want a bully for a friend."

"That's good, I don't want to be your friend," Her face feel, I silently congratulate myself.

"I want to be so much more, if you'd let me." I smirked at her blushing face.

"Why do you have to be so dirty?"

"Because I think you secretly like it, even fantasize about it, at least I hope you do. I hope you do a lot." And the urge to kiss her was too great. I glanced over my shoulder saw an Ice Cream Parlor.

"Come on, my treat." And we went in to get our ice cream.

"I really am sorry and I really do like you," I looked into her face and saw the hesitance.

"Do you not like me, like that?" I asked, feeling uneasy.

"I do...it's just, I wouldn't know if I was doing this because I felt sorry for you, or because I liked you." Here she bowed her head.

" What would it take for us to be together?" I asked, not caring how pathetic i sounded. When I pictured us getting together I'd thought there be a lot more scheming on my part but maybe the direct approach would be better.

"I don't know, stop picking on Inuyasha for one–" I rolled my eyes but was careful not to let her see.

"Anything else?" I smiled at her.

"...No...I guess not." She looked at her soft served. I grabbed her hand and squeezed a bit.

"Kagome, will you be my girlfriend?" When she nodded I boldly asked another question.

"Am I allowed to kiss you now? I've been dying to all day." Kagome nodded and Sesshomaru leaned over their Ice Creams and pressed his lips against hers. They had been enjoying kissing when a flash and the sound of a shutter stirred them out of their sweet kiss.

"Please, don't stop on my account! In fact it was just getting juicy, Sesshomaru, you got a little drool right there. SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!" They did anything but smile.

A/N: Sorry it's been soooo long but lets just say it like it was, I wasnt inspired and a break was a lot longer than I expected. I just pumped this out and I've forgotten where I'm going with this but I'll be more on top of it, I promise! .
