Chapter: The best Valentine's Day Ever, Part I

Kagome Higurashi sat in her chemistry class. Her eyes were glued to the clock. Don't get her wrong, she loved chemistry. It was her favorite class but she couldn't wait to get out. Today was Valentine's Day and she couldn't wait to see what her boyfriend had in store for her. All day, she had been collecting chocolate, candy and stuff animals. It was like scavenger hunt. Each present had a clue to where she would find the next. It was amazing. She couldn't believe that her boyfriend would do something so sweet. She hasn't seen him all day. She couldn't wait. If only that stupid clock would move faster. Then finally the bell rang she all but ran to her locker. Like this morning, she found a red rose and a card. In the front, it reads: "I know I don't tell you as often as I should how I feel about you..." and inside the card say: "But on this on Valentine's Day I want to know that I love you with all my heart. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart. Love Sesshy...

She was so happy. She felt like she was going to burst. "Oh my god, who knew Sesshoumaru, could be so romantic." She thought. She put her books in the locker and collected all the roses and gifts. In total, she had two dozens of red and white roses. Three teddy bears. One say, "I love you." The second say, "Be my valentine." And the third was holding a heart. She also had a huge dog plushy, two boxes of chocolate and a bag of her favorite candy. She had to make two trips to her car. She put everything in the bag seat. On her last trip, she met with her cousin, Kikyou.

"Hey, Kikyou."

"Did Sesshoumaru get you all these flowers?" she asked.

"Yeah! He did. So where's Inuyasha?"

"I have no idea where the baka is." She said.

"So what did Inuyasha get you for V-day?"

"Nothing. He forgot."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. So what else did Sesshoumaru get you?"

"Oh! Nothing much. Would you like a ride home? I notice that you didn't have your car today. "

"Sure. That'll be fine."

When Kikyou got in the car, she saw Kagome's presents. She felt a ping of jealousy for her cousin. Kagome has always had the best of everything. Since the death of her parents, she had been living with the Higurashis. They never seem to favor either of them. They were given the same attention and love. But other members of the family always loved Kagome because she was so sweet, so innocent. High school wasn't any different. Everybody wanted to be Kagome's friend. Everybody wanted to be near her. When she started going out with Inuyasha, Kikyou thought that she had finally win. She had the hottest guy in school as her boyfriend and for a while she was the envy of the whole school. Then Inuyasha's brother, Sesshoumaru, came to their school and asked Kagome out. If Inuyasha was hot, Sesshoumaru was drop-dead gorgeous. He had the body of a god, the face of angel. He was the most popular boy in school and captain of the football team. Once again Kagome had won and Kikyou was left with second best. God! she hated her cousin.

She looked at her cousin. The latter turned her head from the road and gave her cheerful smile.

"Cheer up, Kikyou. I'm sure Inuyasha would make it up to you."

"Yeah! Right. I just can't believe he forgot. I told him last week that today was Valentine's Day."

"Hey, he's a guy. Of course, he's going to forget."

"Sesshoumaru didn't forget."

"That's just Sesshoumaru."

"Sometimes, I have a hard time believing that these two are related."

Kagome laughed. It was true. Inuyasha was Sesshoumaru's half brother. They were as different as night and day. Where Sesshoumaru was more mature and responsible, Inuyasha was childish. They didn't get along either. Every time, she and her cousin double-dated, it always resulted in a disaster and after a couple of try, they decided to stop. She didn't mind. She loved being alone with her boyfriend. He was more opened when they were alone.

When they finally arrived at their house, Kagome parked her car in the driveway next to her Kikyou's car. Her mother came out to welcome them home.

"Hey! Mom, can you help me."

"Sure, sweetie."

Mrs. Higurashi gasped when she saw her daughter's gifts.

"Oh! My god. Where did you get all this stuff?"

"Sesshoumaru brought them for me."

"Wow. I wish your father was that romantic."

They giggled.

"What about you, Kikyuo. Where are your presents?"

"I don't have any. Inuyasha forget that today was Valentine's Day."

"Well don't worry, sweetie. I bought chocolate for everyone. Well, except for you, Kagome."

"Why not."

"I was just kidding, dear. And by the way, there's something in your room for you."

"What is it?"

"What don't you go upstairs and found out?"

Kagome ran to the house. She almost knocked over her grandfather in the stairs. She raced down the hall to her room and threw open the door. She gasped.

"Oh...My...God..."

The messy room she had left this morning was cleaned but that wasn't the reason she gasped. On her bed, the phrase 'I love you' was spelled out in rose petals. Well, it actually spelled 'I heart you' but it was so romantic. Today had been the best day of her life. She wouldn't change for anything.

"Wow, when he said he had a surprise for you. I didn't think that he was going to cleaned your messy room and add this to it."

"Sesshoumaru was here?"

"Who do you think did this?"

"I just can't believe it."

"What's so hard to believe? You've always had the better brother." Kikyou said.

"What does that suppose to mean."

"Exactly as it sounds."

"Hey, you don't have to bitch at me. It's neither my fault nor Sesshoumaru's that Inuyasha forgot. What don't you yell at him?"

"Girls! Stopped it. There's no need to fight over this." Mrs. Higurashi said.

Kikyou went to her room.

"Now, Kagome, try to be more considerate."

"I didn't start it. It's not like it's my fault Inuyasha forgot."

"You're right, it's not. But try to understand how she feels. You wouldn't like it if Sesshoumaru forgot."

"No."

"Then try not to flaunt your presents in front of Kikyou."

"Fine."

Her mother left and closed the door behind her. Kagome took her phone from her bag and dialed Sesshoumaru's number. He answered on the second ring.

"Hi, love. How was your day." He asked.

"It was the best. Thank you for the wonderful presents."

"Well, if you liked those, you're going to love what I have in store for you next."

"Next? Wait...there's more?"

"But of course. That was just the beginning. The best is yet to come."

"Wow. So what do you have planned?"

"Sorry, Baby Doll, can't tell you. It's a surprise."

"Can you at least give me a clue?"

"Ummm...let's just say that you're going to love it."

"Okay but when do I see you?"

"You'll see me tonight. I will call you and tell you where to meet me."

"Okay."

"Well, I have to go. I need to finish some preparation for tonight."

"Alright. Bye. I love you."

"Love you too."

She turned off the phone and threw it on the bed. She went to one of her nightstand and took out a camera.

"This one is for my scrapbook." She whispered to herself.

She put all of her presents on the bed and took several pictures of them. When she was done, she put the teddy bears on the shelf facing her bed. She kept the dog plushy on her bed and the chocolates in her goody basket. She then jumped on her bed. This has been such a wonderful day. Kagome yawned and rolled on her side facing the picture of Sesshoumaru that was on her nightstand.

"You are the perfect boyfriend." She said before falling asleep.

Unbeknown to Kagome, Kikyou was standing outside o f her door and heard what she said.

"Yes, he is perfect and he should have been mine." She said

Kagome woke up hours later to the rings of her cell phone. She groggily got off the bed and looked for her phone. She found it on the floor where she had no doubt kicked it while she was sleeping. She flipped it opened.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey, Baby. Sorry to wake you up." Sesshoumaru said in the phone.

"That's okay. So what's up?"

"It's time for your present. I was wondering if you could meet me at my mother's house."

"Of course. What time do you want me to be there?"

"In an hour."

"Alright. I'll be there."

"Great. Oh...and asked your mom if you can stay over for the night.

"Alright."

"Then I'll see you later."

"Bye."

She hung up and went to the bathroom. She needed a shower before she has to meet with Sesshoumaru. She let the water the water ran for a minute while she got undressed. Once the water was hot, she stepped into the stall. She sighed as the hot water pelted against her skin. She washed her hair and then washed herself clean. When she was done, she turned off the shower. She blow dried her hair and straighten it out. She then went back to her room to get dress. Since it was a wintry night outside, she chose to wear low-rise blue jeans with a white tank top. She also wanted to wear white sneakers and her blue jacket. She applied a little bit of make up to her face. She gathered her hand bag and put in her cell phone, lip-gloss, and her wallet. She went downstairs when she finished. Her mother and Kikyou were in the kitchen.

"Hey, Guys."

"Hello, dear."

"So where are you of to?" Her mother asked.

"I'm going to see Sesshoumaru."

"Alright."

"Mom...would it be okay if I stay over?"

"Why?"

"I don't know. Sesshoumaru just asked if..."

"You guys are not going to...you know."

"No mom. We're not going to have sex. We're probably going to watched movies all night."

"Who else is going to be there?"

"I don't think anybody else is going to be there."

"Kagome...you can't expect..."

"Mom...I told you we're not going to have sex. Why can you trust me?"

"Kagome...I do trust you."

"Then why won't you let me stay."

"I...fine, you can stay."

She smiled at her mother.

"Thanks mom. I promise to behave."

"I know you will."

She hugged her mother. While she was on her way out, she noticed that Kikyou giving her the evil eye. As soon as she got into her car, she took her phone out of her bag. She dialed Inuyasha's phone number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Inuyasha."

"Kagome?"

"Yeah, it's me. I was wondering if you and Kikyou are going out tonight."

"No, she's mad at me for forgetting that today was Valentine's Day."

"Then make it up to her."

"What can I do? You know how Kikyou is."

"Yeah I know she can be unreasonable sometimes but if you do something sweet I'm sure she will forgive you."

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."

"Alright. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay."

She drove to the place Sesshoumaru said to meet him. She was surprised that he wanted her to meet with him at his mother's house. She had been there only twice and she knew that Sesshoumaru only goes there when he wanted to be alone. She arrived at the house just in time. She saw Sesshoumaru's car parked in the driveway. She parked her car next to his. With her bag in her hand, she made her way to the house. Before she even had a chance to knock, the door flew opened. Sesshoumaru was standing in the threshold. He was dressed casually in blue baggy jeans and white shirt.

"Hey, we matched." She said.

"So we do."

"So what have you been up too all day?" she asked.

"Not much."

"Did you go to school today?"

"Yes. I just left before you did."

"Oh."

"Come inside. I want you to see you present."

"Alright."

She followed him inside. He stood behind her and covered her eyes with his hands. He slowly led her to the living room.

"You're ready?" he asked.

She nodded and he removed. Kagome gasped as she took in the scene in front of her. The living was totally made over. The couches were removed. The floor was covered in pillows. There was a small table in the middle of the ocean of pillows right in front of the chimney. The lights were turned off. The room was illuminated was numerous vanilla scented candles. The table was set for two. It was absolutely breathtaking.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

She turned and faced him.

"It's beautiful. Thank you."

"You're welcomed."

He then leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"Come on, let's eat."

"I'm starving."

He asked her to seat while he got their food from the kitchen.

"Ummm...it's smells good."

"It's your favorite. I made especially for you."

"Oooww...that's so sweet."

"Well, don't get used to it. You're only get this kind of treatment twice a year."

"And when times are those?"

"Today and for your birthday."

She stuck her tongue out.
