Losing His Game

There was something wrong with the picture created. When the little minx he grew up with had invited him to come over, he had not anticipated the direction the small get together had turned into. Under no circumstances had he thought the woman was capable of such action. The timid woman he knew had completely changed the minute she greeted him that evening.

At a young age, Sesshomaru moved away from his father to live with his mother. The neighbourhood was your average rich district of town. But the day he met his next door neighbour, he knew she was anything but normal. Unlike most girls, she didn’t pay attention to her looks. Her long black hair, though silky, was always loose or pinned simply. She never wore make-up and never paid too much attention to clothing. All in all, Kagome tended to pay more attention to the people around her rather than to herself. Perhaps that was the reason why he had grown attached to her.

Sesshomaru was the complete opposite of the cheerful, bubbly girl sitting across from him. He was cool to the people around him. If he could avoid talking, he would. If he could ignore those around him, he would. If he could avoid groups, he would. He took what he wanted and destroyed anyone who got in his way. It was Kagome who broke through all his habits, walls, barriers, routines and basic way of life. When others couldn’t get him to talk, she understood him. Even his mother was surprised at how well Kagome could understand him. In fact, when his mother couldn’t deal with him any more she turned to Kagome for help.

With the innocent picture painted over the years of knowing Kagome, it made it harder for him to comprehend the current scene. But then again, perhaps he just didn’t know her as well as she knew him. Yet, he was sure if there were signs of taking part in these nightly activities, he would have spotted them sooner. What made things worst was she was winning. How she managed such a feat he didn’t know. But one thing was sure, if he didn’t manage to turn his luck around he would be sitting butt naked.

The smirk on her face gave him the impression that things were going the way she planned. He was only grateful that they were the only ones in her small apartment. He had noticed immediately that she had cleaned her one room. Clothing was not scattered over various objects. Her bed was made neatly and the kitchen was spotless. She herself was dressed up considering her usual state of attire. The short mini shirt, fancy wide belt, low cut top, finished with a couple of necklaces around her neck and a pair of boots that stopped just above her knees.

So as they revealed their hands once again, he groaned. After handing over his pants he was left with socks and boxers. Things were definitely not going his way. When the woman had suggested strip poker, he had thought that this would be an easy way to get Kagome in his bed once and for all. Well actually it would be her bed since it was her apartment. Yet, the way things were turning out, he knew he wouldn’t be able to live down his shame. It was torture to feel the slow pain of defeat.

There was a thought that perhaps she was cheating. When he had only won one round, he figured that she must be cheating one way or another. Except from watching her moves closely, and how tight her outfit was, he was sure there was no way she was hiding away cards for when she needed them. Nope, she was definitely winning fair and square and it bothered him to no end.

“Come on now Sesshomaru, you aren’t being much fun.”

“Since when have you taken such an interest in this game kitten?”

“I will tell you if you win the next round,” she smiled mischievously.

It was a challenge that he desperately hoped to win. As the cards were dealt out, he decided that he might actually have a chance. Kagome was first to lay out her cards, and Sesshomaru chuckled briefly before showing his accomplishment.

“Now for your end of the bargain,” he pressed immediately.

Kagome sighed, to his ears it sound almost relieved. He watched as her hands tucked beneath the hem of her tight shirt and pulled it over her head. His breath caught in his throat as his gaze was averted to the woman’s chest. It took a couple seconds for him to realize that she had gone without her bra.

“I needed to do something. We weren’t going anywhere and I’m tired of it. We’ve been friends for years. You haven’t taken interest in any women. That actually relieved me because I don’t know what I would do to the woman who got close to you. So I figured it was time to show you how much you torture me. This is my way of getting your attention.”

Sesshomaru gulped as the woman rounded the table. She carefully placed herself upon his lap and leaned down to place a tender kiss on his lips. He enjoyed the feeling of her in his arms, under his hands, against his chest. After the agonizing hour of play he had just gone through, he was quite happy how things were now working out.

Not wasting any time, he picked Kagome up and headed to her bed. He was glad that the woman had made the first move. Although it was his plan to seduce her, he wanted her to have a choice in the matter. As he hovered over her, ready to pounce, he was the happiest person in the world.

Except his mood changed when the bell to the apartment chimed. Kagome tried to push him away but could feel his disappointment. She slipped her shirt, abandoned at the table, back on and gave Sesshomaru a look. He gathered his clothing and made his way to the bathroom.

When he entered the room once again he was not happy to see Inuyasha in the doorway. The male had destroyed his evening. His long strides took no time to cover the distance so that he could wrap slender fingers around his half brothers neck.

“What are you doing here?” he growled.

“What’s it to you?” the younger brother bit out.

“Leave.”

“I need some sugar for Kikyou.”

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. This was definitely one of the worst nights of his life, as he made note that Kikyou was behind Inuyasha, already chatting with Kagome about everything under the sun.
