A/N: The eighth snippet of Feel That Fire
Kagome’s window had been locked when they tried to get in the house that way, and now Kagome gripped Sesshomaru’s hand as she led him through her darkened living room. Sesshomaru used the darkness as an excuse to stumble into her and grip her for support.
“Sorry,” he murmured.
“No you’re not,” Kagome whispered back. “You’re doing it on purpose. If I can see, you sure as hell can see.”
Sesshomaru grinned and ‘tripped’ again, this time grabbing a handful of Kagome’s right breast to catch himself even though he was behind her.
“See? That doesn’t even make sense.”
Sesshomaru chuckled and pressed his lips to her neck. The lights turned on suddenly causing them both to jump, blinking as their eyes adjusted to the obtrusive light. Sesshomaru recovered first, and when he saw Kagome’s father standing in the entrance to the living room he dropped his hands, the one that was holding Kagome’s and the one that had been busy massaging her breast.
“Dad?” Kagome asked, shocked.
“Kagome,” he answered coolly, his arms folded across his chest and a frown on his face. “Go to your room.”
Kagome hesitated, not wanting to leave Sesshomaru. “Let me just show Sesshomaru out.”
“No, I think he and I need to have a little chat.”
“Actually, sir, I was just making sure Kagome made it safely to her room,” Sesshomaru spoke up.
“It looked like it. I’m sure she can find the way without your assistance.” Kagome reluctantly took a step forward, still not wanting to leave Sesshomaru alone with her father. “Kagome, go to your room now.”
Kagome finally walked forward, refusing to look at her father as she walked past him and down the hall. Sesshomaru was stuck. He really didn’t want to have this conversation, but he didn’t see a way out of it short of running for the door. Kagome’s father waited to speak until he heard Kagome’s door close, making Sesshomaru more nervous with each passing second.
“I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that she’s my little girl,” he finally began and Sesshomaru nodded, not willing to point out that Kagome was hardly a ‘little girl’. “So of course I’m concerned when I find her missing from her bed at eleven o’clock at night and then around midnight I find her sneaking you into the house. As you can probably assume, I’m a little pissed off.”
Again, Sesshomaru nodded, not trusting himself to speak. Kagome’s father sighed.
“I know she’s not five anymore, she’s eighteen, and I’m only kidding myself if I think she’s not going to have…” he trailed off, not able to continue his line of thought. “All I’m asking is that you be respectful; not only of her, but me as well. I expect the rules of my household to be unbroken, and that includes sneaking in or out at midnight.”
“Yes, sir,” Sesshomaru said, proud that his voice sounded normal.
“Trust me, I was your age once; I get it,” Mr. Higurashi actually cracked a smile. “But she’s my daughter, something you won’t understand until you have one of your own.”
Sesshomaru gave a self-conscious nod and the two fell into an awkward silence.
“You can leave now,” Mr. Higurashi said finally.
Sesshomaru didn’t need to be told twice; he turned and left, thankful that horrible moment hadn’t gone worse. Kagome’s father could have yelled and threatened, or even pulled out a shotgun to give him the ‘stay away from my daughter’ speach. Sesshomaru planned to lay low around the Higurashi household just the same. He had just reached his car, half a block away, when his cell phone buzzed with a text from Kagome.
Sorry
Sesshomaru frowned; this was hardly her fault.
Me too
His phone buzzed again as he slid into the driver’s seat.
I’m really, really sorry
You better not be crying
I’m not
Even though it was only a text, Sesshomaru could tell Kagome was lying.
It’s not that big of a deal Kags. He didn’t forbid me from seeing you or anything
Good. You’re still going to pick me up in the morning?
Yes.
: )
Sesshomaru smiled down at his phone.
