More Than Friends

Untitled Part 10

The next morning Kagome was climbing into Sesshoumaru's car so he could take her to see the apartment.

"I think you'll like it. You won’t have as far to walk since it's so much closer to work. You should always have a ride to and from work since I live in the same building." It wasn't long before Sesshoumaru had them parked in the building’s attached garage. He held up a card and swiped it through a card reader beside the door making it buzz as it unlocked. "You'll receive one of these by the end of today if you decide you like the apartment. The only people who can get in, are people that have cards.” As they rode up in the elevator, Sesshoumaru continued to explain all the things included in her rent, and she really couldn't believe how lucky she was to know Sesshoumaru.

"What floor is my apartment on, exactly?" She asked as he pushed the button.

Sesshoumaru laughed and it took a minute for Kagome to get the joke. "Your apartment? Sounds like you've accepted my offer, without even seeing the place. Since you asked though, YOUR apartment is on the eighth floor."

Kagome blushed, and followed Sesshoumaru out of the elevator.

"Number 83." He slid his card through the slot and opened the door to the most amazing apartment she had ever seen. The place was clean and sharp and modern and had everything she could ever need. Sesshoumaru leaned against the wall at the edge of the entrance hall, as she ran around checking on all the things included in her new apartment.

Completely delighted in the things she found, she squealed. "Sesshoumaru this place is amazing!" Kagome ran up to Sesshoumaru and threw her arms around his neck.

 He laughed for a moment before he gently put her away from him. "So, you don't want the apartment right?" He was painfully sarcastic with a little grin on his face so Kagome slapped his chest lightly.

"Of course I want the apartment, smart one."

"I thought you might. Come with me, you can see my apartment while I write up your rental agreement." He locked the door behind her as he ushered her toward the elevator. Once they got into the elevator Sesshoumaru inserted a key into a slot next to the top button and turned it while pressing it. When the elevator stopped he retrieved his key and led Kagome out into a huge apartment that looked like it would hold 100 people. It was basically a much larger, more expensive, version of the one that was about to become hers.

"Wow, you know, Sesshoumaru, I never expected you to live in such a modern apartment,” she wondered alound.

Sesshoumaru laughed as he turned on the lights. "I dislike modern times, but I'm not the sort to turn my nose up when it comes to luxury. This century has come up with many helpful things. You may look around while I find your forms." Sesshoumaru walked through a door, and Kagome was left to her own devices.

She found herself curiously attracted to Sesshoumaru's living room. The large L shaped couch was sitting and facing a large blank white wall which made no sense to her. She made herself comfortable on his couch and threw her feet up on the coffee table, she yelped as the entire wall turned into a tv which was now loudly playing classic music. She sat up and reached for the remote, scrambling to turn off the complicated system. When she got the music to stop the white wall started to slide down into the floor revealing a huge floor-to-ceiling window that showed the entire city. "Wow," she whispered as she moved closer to the window.
