Chappy 10

"Okay so let me get this straight. The reason you haven't been hanging out with us is because of some rich dude who is using you to fulfill a life debt?" Sei let out a loud groan as his friend Thomas, another foreign exchange student, tried to absorb the fact that Sei was being paid to show a rich guy around town. Well that's what he told them at least because who would ever believe the explanation, "Well actually I fell through a well that took me five hundred years in the past and I was chased over a cliff and saved by a dog demon and am now his bitch." Actually Sei preferred that explanation to the lie but it was either lie or be committed and he didn't want his brain picked by a psych student, not that he hated psychology but to him it was just a bunch of text book knowledge that didn't really tell you anything about the depth of the human concious and subconcious.

Sipping at his soda Sei nodded and said, "That's about the basic concept. And why's it matter that I spend time with other people?" smirking at his friend Sei asked, "Are you getting jealous of me Tommy?" Leaning in close to his friend Sei puckered his lips a bit and continued to lean until Tommy shoved a book in his face and said, "I got a girl Seiya so don't even think of attempting to convert me." Downing the rest of his soda Sei kicked it into a near by trash can and groaned as it missed and said, "OY! Can you get that, Maya?" The girl sitting on the bench near the bin looked up and said, "You suck at this Seiya." before bending down and dumping it in the trash before saying, "And leave Tommy alone.....I don't think I could ever convince him of that." Falling off the back of the stone fence he was on Tommy painfully whined, "MAYA!!!" Chuckling Seiy reached over and hauled his friend up before saying, "Well, I'm surprised you guys figured it out cuz I've only told no more than seven people I'm gay."

Looking at his friend Tommy said, "Dude I saw you with David man not that I mind guys kissing, I mean you are who you are, its just that, well when you've just woken up after a night of drinking, seeing two of your male friends making out isn't good for the stomach." Scoffing Maya said, "Well that's just natures way of telling you not to drink so much isn't it?" Glaring at his girl Tommy said, "You know I don't drink anymore....well I drink very little." Smirking Seiya said, "Well lucky for me and Kagome since in celebration she's coming over to hang out and we're getting wasted." Acting like it was taking a bit to calculate Maya said coyly, "So that means you'll have three before you end up with a wine headache." Sweat dropping Seiya said, "Pretty much," before shaking his head and saying, "Well I'll see you guys later." and headed off to the the subway.

While on the train Sei was glad that nobody was glaring at him and he was thankful for that. Settiling back into his chair Sei thought, Man it's been over a month since my last trip and school year's almost done for me and I have nothing planned. He mulled over the prospects of what would happen until his classes started again in May and figured he could at least quit his job since he'd sold one of those gems Sesshomaru had given him to a high end dealer and fetched enough money for at least 2 years of food, games, and all his other needs and necessities. Chuckling to himself he got off a stop early and exited the station before heading to the liquor store near his apartment and picked up a good 5 bottles of some good wine, it wasn't exactly two hundred dollars a bottle stuff but it would last them awhile before they curled up on the couch and slept.

Thanking the clerk he headed back out and headed home. He soaked in the late winter day and was glad that he'd gone with the light weight coat because the sun had decided to come out and it was warming up quickly even though it was a few hours to sunset. Turning into his building he walked up the stairs and just as he was about to unlock the door a voice said, "So you're still living here, Sei?" Opening the door and setting the bag down Sei said, "What's it to you?" Turning around he saw his ex lover smiling at him holding a bunch of flowers. Snorting Sei said, "You don't know when you've lost do you, David?" Shaking his head the American said, "Honestly it was one time. I haven't been with anyone since you caught me so please give me a second chance." Snatching the bouquet Sei said, "Actually, you have been with others." Arching his eyebrow David asked, "Okay? How do you know that?" Scoffing Sei said, "You aren't exactly discreet in the clubs there buddy boy." Chuckling David said, "What are the odds you'd find me with some twink?"

Shrugging Sei said, "Pretty good. And besides I've already found someone." Grinning the other man asked, "Really? So what's he like?" Glaring Sei said, "He's a lot more honest than you and he may be a bit of a cold case but he's got a heart and let's just say this guy is a godly in the looks department." When he finished Sei couldn't help but chuckle to himself at Davids face dropping at the fact Sei would actually say a guy is like a god. Composing himself David said, "So that means you guys have?" BAM!! Seis fist connected with his ex's face and said, "No we haven't now get the hell out of here." Catching himself against the rail David said, "Fine, I give up. Hope to see you around sometime."

Sei watched as David headed the apartment steps while Sei walked in and shut the door. Breathing heavily he smacked himself mentally at the fact that he'd told his ex he was seeing Sesshomaru. Sighing heavily he said, "Oh well, I don't care. It's not like he's ever going to meet Sesshomaru, just like I'm never going to get him to consider me as nothing more than his own little fountain of knowledge." But he remembered his last trip and the fact that he'd heard the dog say thanks to him as well as his name. Grinning at finally being acknowledged Sei bent down and picked the wine up and set it into the fridge while he started making some oden for him and Kagome. He knew she would love him for making her favorite meal after taking her nursing and herbology tests were stressing her to her limits and frankly he didn't like her angry because she was worse than most queens he'd met.

It took a good 2 hours for him to get everything prepared correctly and at seven thirty he heard the door click open and Kagome shout, "I'M FINALLY FREE!!!" Laughing Sei took out a pre poured glass and handed it to her and said, "Keep it down woman or the neighbors will here." Snatching the glass Kagome took a quick sip and said, "Oh you got some good stuff today." before kissing his cheek and said, "I smelt oden on the way up." Gasping Sei said, "I wonder how that got in here?" Smacking his arm Kagome went and immediately scooped out a big bowl for her self and said, "Well at least you made something good this time." Snorting Sei said, "It's not my fault you aren't a big tuna eater. And besides tuna melts are a great meal." Kagome gagged and said, "Lucky for you Inuyasha will eat almost anything."

Looking over to his best friend Sei asked, "So you're saying my cooking sucks?" Kagome coughed on some of her food and said, "No, I'm just a bit more picky about what I put into my system." Draining his glass and refilling it Sei said, "Did you see some flowers coming up the stairs?" Stopping for a second to think Kagome said, "Actually I did....where'd those come from?" Smirking with the mouth of his glass on his lips Sei said, "David, stopped by a couple hours ago and tried to make up." Kagome set her bowl down and asked, "Are you serious?" Nodding Sei said, "Yep, but I don't think he'll be coming back anytime soon." Sipping her wine Kagome asked, "What'd you do to get that to happen?" Sipping his wine Sei muttered, "Told him I was dating Sesshomaru."

Walking up and taking his glass Kagome asked with a smile, "What did you say?" Looking at his friend and holding in a laugh Sei told his best friend, "I told him I was dating Sesshomaru, ya happy?" Kagome burst out laughing and hit his arm and said, "I knew you liked him!" Blushing Sei grabbed a near by seat cushion and hit Kagome in the head before saying, "Oh shut up about it. It's not my fault he's the way he is." Smacking her friends head with the same pillow Kagome said, "I knew you liked him ever since we took that picture a month ago....and why haven't you sent that with Inuyasha to have sent to Sesshomaru." Sei thought for a moment before saying, "Becasue I wanted to give it to Rin herself." Chuckling Kagome hugged him and said, "You have a weird taste in men, Sei." Chuckling Sei said, "If I were straight I would have probably already proposed to you." Laughing Kagome said, "Well I think I still would have fallen for Inuyasha based on how much time I spent on the other side. But tell me why you like Sesshomaru?"

Draining his glass and then eating some of Kagomes oden and rice Sei said with a full mouth, "I dunno, I fjst do Sags." Grimmacing Kagome closed his mouth and moved it up and down while saying, "Okay baby you have to chew your food before talking." Laughing Sei chewed the food and swallowed before saying, "Well I've learned alot about him and most of what Inuyasha said isn't true about him. Well the cold and ruthless part is mostly true but according to the village doctor Sesshomaru is actually rather kind hearted. I mean I've seen the way he is with Rin and he's got a good soul. I think he's just lonely, hell I'd have probably killed Jaken if I had to live wtith that little toad for over a century." Giggling Kagome said, "Well make sure he likes you to Seiya. Although how that's going to happen is a mystery in itself." Kagome however did not notice that while she was talking Sei had downed the rest of her food and was holding her bowl up and said, "Are you going to eat the food I made or what?"

The rest of the evening went without a hitch and by eleven they each had a good amount of wine in their systems and were watching tv and laughing at every little thing that passed on the tv. Sei looked to Kagome and said, "You think Sesshomaru would ever fall for me?" Looking over at her friend on the couch Kagome said from her spot on the floor and said, "I dunno he's gorgeous and if I weren't with Inuyasha I'd pounce on him like a rabid dog." Giggling stupidly Sei said, "He ain't gorgeous he's beautiful....almost like he was made by the gods." Chucklin Kagome said, "He's close enough to one, I've seen his dog form and he's really close to a god in terms of power and looks, his attitude could use a readjustment though." Thinking about his friends comment he said, "I told you that he's just lonely although I think I could help in that. Besides go look in the drawer near the door."

Looking from the floor Kagome said, "Honestly, you think I can get up like this?" Glancing down Sei grabbed his sword from its place near the couch and rolled it on the ground and said, "Use this as a crutch." Kagome arched her brow and said, "You like this thing don't ya?" Shrugging Sei said, "It's a beautiful sword, hell it was made by that old sword smith. And besides apparently mine and Rins lives are in danger so I thought that I may as well keep the damn thing." Grabbing the sword she set the sheath on the ground and wobbled to drawer and opened it and looked to Sei and asked, "What is all this stuff Sei?

Leaning back into the couch Sei said, "It's pictures and payments. I haven't gotten rid of any of the payments save for a jewel which has me set for a good few years and well let's just say that I could do spy work with a camera now." Lifting the pictures out Kagome saw many of her and the rest of the group, some of the villagers, a few magnificent shots of the land scape near the forest, some animals and when she got near the end she saw some that surprised her. Looking at him she asked, "How did you get all of these pictures of Sesshomaru and his castle and stuff." Laying down on the couch Sei yawned and said, "Simple, I just waited awhile for them to not look and 'click' took a snap shot before anyone noticed. Although I think Sesshomaru did because after I took one of him meditating he glared at me before going back to his thoughts."

As he said that Kagome noticed that Sei had probably waited for the best moment to take the picture because as far as she could tell with the way the light was hitting him, Sesshomaru seemed to glow and seemed truly godly with his eyes shut and his face in what she probably guessed was a calm one, because let's face it she'd only seen his stoic look and his angry look and any other emotions would be extremely scary to view. Continuing to flip through Kagome giggled as she saw ones of Rin playing with Shiba and Kiba, and also grooming Ah-Un and teaching Jaken a few games, although the later pictures showed Jaken running around like an idiot because he'd done something to hurt himself or was angry at Rin about doing something that went with the game.

Setting the pictures back in Kagome noticed a small silvery glitter in the drawere bottom and pulled out a framed copy of the picture that she'd taken of Sei, Sesshomaru and Rin. She looked up as Sei laughed at something on the tv and wobbled over to the couch and plopped down next to him and said, "You three really do make a good looking group." Snatching the picture Sei looked at it and said, "You were tempted to say family weren't ya?" Chuckling Kagome kissed her best friends head and said, "Well yeah, I've seen Rin with ya and she acts like your her dad. And I caught the way you were looking at Sesshomaru when we took that group picture. You want him don't ya?" Sighing Sei put down the picture and said, "Yeah, I do. But it's kind of odd, a powerful demon and a weak human. I mean I know you and Inuyasha aren't having any problems with demons, save for a few renegade morons, but Sesshomaru's a demon lord, not a hanyou. I'd be a marked target Kagome and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize him or Rin." Kagome stroked her friends hair and said, "I think you love him, because if you didn't you wouldn't have said that. And you're right Inuyasha and I are an odd couple but we have each other and we can protect each other as well. But I do agree with what you're saying about Sesshomarus status making it all the more dangerous to fall for him."

Nuzzling Kagomes stomach Sei said, "I love you Kagome." Laughing Kagome said, "I love you to, Sei but I have Inuyasha to worry about." Scoffing into his friends stomach Sei said, "He should be worried about me hitting on him not you." Kagome stifled some laughter at remembering what had occured between Inuyasha and the cross dressing member of that assasin group Narkau had revived. The reactions Inuyasha had when he found out the person was a man and was like Sei was extremely funny since it was Inuyashas first time ever meeting a gay person. Looking down Kagome said, "I think you should be more worried about what he'd do if you went after him instead of just being his friend."

As if on cue, just as Kagome finished talking the sliding door opened and Inuyasha walked in saying, "I'd probably rip your throat out." Giggling drunkingly Sei said, "Here to protect your woman?" Scoffing Inuyasha said, "Not really, Asami-sama wanted me to make sure that you two didn't get hurt so I'm staying with you guys through the night." Walking up and falling into Inuyashas arms Kagome said, "That's what I love about you. You're always there to protect me." Feeling a bit uncomfortable Inuyasha said, "That's what I'm here for." Snorting a laugh Kagome kissed the hanyous lips before yawning and saying, "I think it's time for me to go to bed. This wine's made me really sleepy." Yawning a bit himself Sei said, "Take my bed you two. I'll crash here for the night but if I smell anything funky in that room you guys have to get me a new bed."

Glaring at Sei, Inuysaha said, "For the seven hells, do you think we'd do that? She's drunk, Sei I wouldn't do that to her." Giggling Sei said, "Calm down Inuyasha it was a joke. I know you wouldn't do 'it' on my bed but just keep it innocent." Growling Inuyasha picked up the now dozing Kagome and took her into the bedroom and tucked her in before coming out and sitting next to Sei and saying, "I heard some of your conversation." Looking at his friend Sei said, "And what do you think about it?" Sighing Inuyasha said, "I'm not fond of Sesshomaru, nor do I give a damn about what he does. But as his brother and only equal I do somewhat value his life in a way only I can understand. But if anything happens I'm going to have a say in it. He's tried to harm me and my friends on a lot of occasions and has nearly killed me a few times but we always stopped before actually killing each other. So I'm just going to tell you to be careful around him."

Groaning at the lecture Sei said, "Inuyasha I'm not going to try anything all right. It's just a crush all right, besides I'm his tool for surviving the future. So, why would he want to fall for me?" Shrugging Inuyasha said, "Nobody thought that I'd fall for Kagome." Before he could reply Sei felt Inuyashas weight leave the couch and soon after the soft click of his bedroom door shutting. Staring at the ceiling Sei said, "You got a point there my friend." Before glancing at the coffee table to find a small note with the word "Boy" written on it. Growling Sei ripped it open and read the small parchment,

I will be bringing Rin to the village in 2 weeks for those images that were taken with that strange device and also to celebrate her birth. Be there for she wishes you to and I wish to discuss some things. I have no idea as to what we will discuss but be there.

Sesshomaru.

After reading it Sei put the letter on the table and shut off the televion before grabbing a blanket and throwing it over his body. Before drifiting off to sleep his mind was reeling with possible gifts for Rin and what Sesshomaru would wish to discuss with him this time. Yawning he said, "Who cares what he wants." before falling into a deep sleep and having a strange feeling that he thought he heard a deep sneeze from somewhere outside the apartment.


I need to stop writing in birthdays.
