I Wanna Hold Your Hand
“What are you still doing here?” Inuyasha asked as Sesshomaru walked into his office. He noticed by the time on the clock that Sesshomaru was running behind schedule for his date with Kagome, which was unlike him. He was always so prompt.
“I’m leaving right now,” Sesshomaru replied while he placed a stack of papers on Inuyasha’s desk. “I forgot to give these to you.”
“You could have called me on your way out, and I could have gotten them myself or had Koga run and get them.”
“What am I, your gopher?” Koga joked.
“Sometimes.”
“I still have a little time. I wanted to be sure you got them.” Sesshomaru responded.
“You’re still cutting it close. You’re not delaying on purpose are you?”
“No, quite the opposite.”
“You love her don’t you?” Inuyasha noticed the change in Sesshomaru’s demeanor at the mention of Kagome
“Being in her presence relaxes me, and I enjoy her company…. most of the time”
“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Inuyasha chuckled.
“Are you okay with our relationship?” Sesshomaru asked, stunning both Inuyasha and Koga with the question.
“Yeah, I am. I had a problem with it in the beginning when Kagome moved into your house, and I still have a little bit of a problem accepting it, but I’m okay with it. I can’t expect her to stay single forever now, can I? If she has to be with someone other than me, I’m glad it’s you. I figure she could do worse and hook up with someone like Koga.” Inuyasha gestured to the wolf Youkai across from him.
“Hey!” Koga replied.
“Just don’t break her heart,” Inuyasha ignored Koga, “or you’ll have me to deal with.”
“You really think you can take me on?”
“You bet I could when Kagome’s concerned.”
*******
Sesshomaru sat down next to Kagome at the theater. As the previews started, Kagome reached over and took Sesshomaru’s hand in hers. Instantly, Sesshomaru pulled his hand away, recoiling. The look on Kagome’s face from his reaction pained him to see, and when she turned her head back to the screen, Sesshomaru reached over and took her hand.
“I’m sorry,” Sesshomaru apologized when Kagome turned her attention back to him. “I’m not used to such affection.”
“I understand.” Kagome smiled.
Sesshomaru found that he rather enjoyed holding Kagome’s hand and made a mental note to himself to do it more often.
